0:27

To Mind the Game With Lebron

0:30

James and Jj Redick brought to

0:32

buy uninterrupted and three and two

0:34

productions, this is episode seven, breaking

0:36

down the Twenty Twenty Four and

0:38

B A playoffs. So. Far

0:40

a lot is discussed in

0:42

this episode. This was our

0:44

first remote episode. We were

0:46

not in person in Los

0:48

Angeles like the previous six

0:51

episodes, but luckily it still

0:53

plays really well. We recorded

0:55

this. On Wednesday

0:57

of last week. I.

0:59

Want to say that again? We

1:01

recorded this on Wednesday of last

1:03

week. A lot we get into

1:05

Play Off Reflections from the Brawn

1:07

James. We discuss a number of

1:10

topics about the Minnesota Denver Series

1:12

and it's amazing how relevant all

1:14

her things we discussed are, particularly

1:16

after what has transpired in the

1:18

first two games. Just a couple

1:20

actions that we discuss. One is

1:22

called spinners action. It is named

1:24

after one of the best Greek

1:26

players of all time for so

1:28

a set spinner. Lists of course

1:30

spinners help defeat. The. Us

1:32

men's senior national Team, the Two

1:35

Thousand and Six Fiba World Championships

1:37

in the semifinals. Spinners action is

1:39

very simple. There is

1:41

a big ah that will catch

1:43

the ball right here. There's

1:47

a strainer somewhere in the middle.

1:49

The paint. Lot. Of times

1:52

it will be initiated ah with

1:54

a cut. Down. On the basket.

1:56

There. is a rub stream to rub screen is

1:58

simply and off ball screen that leads to

2:00

a dribble handoff. We

2:02

talked about this action a lot with Jamal

2:04

Murray getting to his left hand. In the

2:07

context of the Denver Nuggets, this is Yochitx

2:09

with the ball. This is Jamal Murray underneath

2:11

the basket. He's cut through. This

2:13

is Aaron Gordon. Aaron Gordon

2:15

will set that rub screen, which is

2:18

again just an off-ball screen that leads

2:20

a lot of times to a dribble

2:22

handoff. And Jamal Murray now coming to

2:24

his left hand. Aaron Gordon

2:26

would relocate to the dunker spot. Jamal

2:29

Murray now can

2:32

get to his left hand drive. And

2:34

Yochitx right here in that short roll

2:36

pocket area. Spinellas action. And as a

2:38

reminder, the dunker spot is

2:41

this area by these hash marks

2:43

on the baseline. This

2:45

is where Aaron Gordon hangs out all the

2:48

time. There's also a ton of discussion on

2:50

Jalen Brunson and his playoff performance so far,

2:52

plus how good Tyreese Maxie

2:54

was in that first round series.

2:57

Another action we talk about is a

2:59

double drag screen. A double

3:01

drag screen is simply a high double

3:03

pick and roll. A

3:05

lot of times, this first screener is

3:07

a guard. He will set

3:10

a screen on Tyreese Maxie. Then

3:12

the big will set a screen on Tyreese

3:14

Maxie. And Maxie, with this

3:16

squiggly line, can get downhill to

3:18

his right hand. There's a ton of variations

3:20

off double drag. We talked

3:23

about this in episode six, the

3:25

Clay Thompson double drag shallow, Laurie

3:27

Markinen double drag shallow. That

3:30

was with an empty side. But

3:32

for the most part, double drag, two

3:35

guys spaced to the corner, and then

3:37

a double high pick and roll. One of the things we

3:40

discussed at the end is

3:42

the dorcher chamber. We talk

3:44

about what it's like in

3:46

a playoff series getting hounded

3:49

by elite defenders like Lou

3:51

Dort, like Jaden McDaniels,

3:54

and LeBron, of course, has faced that throughout

3:56

his career. No better guy to

3:58

hear from on that. As

4:00

always, thank you for listening to Mind the Game.

4:03

This is a little bit of a longer episode.

4:05

Lots of stuff to get into. If you haven't

4:08

already, please hit that subscribe button. And

4:10

this is Mind the Game. Episode 7. First

4:23

time doing this where we aren't in

4:25

person. It's all good. It's

4:27

all good. I feel like in

4:29

episode 5, we talked a little

4:31

bit about the playoffs. I

4:34

want to revisit some of that conversation, but

4:36

I also want to talk about what has

4:38

happened already and what we think might happen

4:41

in this year's playoffs. Before we do that, though, I'm

4:44

just curious about your

4:47

emotions right now. I

4:50

was thinking about it today and

4:52

I was looking back

4:54

at like every single year. The

4:58

common emotions when the season ended and

5:02

some unique emotions depending on which

5:04

team I was on. You've

5:06

obviously won a championship. I don't know what those

5:08

emotions are like, but

5:11

can you just describe what

5:14

the end of the season is like? Well,

5:19

look, can we cheers first? You're right.

5:21

My bad. Can we cheers? Cheers. Cheers.

5:23

Cheers. Shit,

5:26

where am I emotionally right now? I

5:30

don't know, to be honest. I

5:32

have no idea why I'm emotionally right now. You

5:35

know, obviously, you know, going against the defending champions in the

5:37

first round is always going to be a difficult challenge. We

5:40

knew that coming into it. Well,

5:42

fuck, we had so many opportunities, man, you

5:44

know, and to lose in five, two

5:47

of them being game winners by, you know,

5:49

Jamal, you know, his greatness. But

5:51

we have so many opportunities, obviously, being up, you

5:54

know, 20, you know, in game

5:56

two in their building and losing

5:58

that game. having

6:00

so many opportunities in other games, you just feel like, shit,

6:02

if one play here, one play

6:04

there, you know, could have made

6:06

a whole bit of difference, but, you

6:09

know, when you're playing against a team like that, you have

6:11

zero room for error. And I

6:13

believe we made too many errors in

6:15

some of the games. Like, I mean, I've seen

6:17

some crazy ass stat about like the

6:20

minutes that we were leading in the series

6:22

compared to losing in the series. But

6:24

we both know that's a little

6:26

bit of a fool's goat because most

6:29

playoff games come down to one or two, three

6:31

or four possessions, you know,

6:34

and if you're not able to capitalize off

6:36

those possessions or make plays during those possessions,

6:38

then that's how you lose

6:40

games. So, you know, emotionally, I feel like we

6:43

was like right there, obviously, in every game to

6:45

be able to steal a game. But

6:47

also at the same time, you know, we

6:50

weren't. And that's why we lost the

6:52

series. And shit hurts,

6:54

obviously, you know, being a competitive I am,

6:56

competitor you are, you've been a multiple

6:58

series in your career as well. But fuck

7:01

man, I feel like, you know, couple of plays here, a couple

7:03

of plays there, you know, we

7:06

kind of want the series but the better thing you want,

7:08

the better thing you want for sure. Give credit what credit is due.

7:11

I think that's fair. I think that's fair. I

7:14

want to go back to the singular play thing in a

7:16

second. But I was thinking about

7:18

the come down of the season and

7:22

having a conversation with someone

7:24

who's worked in the NBA a long time, a

7:26

couple of weeks ago, we were talking about the

7:28

stress levels, different

7:31

positions within the NBA, right? Front

7:33

office coaching players, all that. And

7:36

I feel like as a player, you're

7:39

always on edge during

7:42

the season. Always. There's

7:45

no like comfort level.

7:47

You're intensity, even just

7:49

like going

7:52

to dinner with friends, you're

7:54

still like wired. Thinking about the

7:56

game. Yeah. And

7:59

I think when the season ends, That.

8:01

Was always the weirdest transition. They're

8:03

certainly sometimes anger. They're certainly sadness

8:05

like that. Those images are there.

8:08

But. It's like. I know this

8:10

sounds fucking weird man but sometimes when

8:12

the season when an hour be like

8:14

okay. I. Need to figure

8:16

out how I can reenter society? As

8:21

I've had, I've had to be

8:23

on for the last seven eight

8:25

months seven nine months. The out

8:28

for sure. He obviously right man

8:30

and speedos do give resisted the

8:32

would. Reality actually really is

8:34

it. all is always difficult as it

8:36

a season because like you said you

8:39

been. You. Minnesota, you

8:41

know, Bubble. You know,

8:43

for seven, eight months. Whatever the case,

8:45

I have a lot to see, the

8:47

world of scenery acclimated, the. Actuality

8:50

society has offices and specific

8:52

do you? do you approach

8:54

this? These type of ah

8:56

seasons differently. With. Usa

8:59

Basketball com and up. Yeah me

9:01

obviously you know zombie a little bit

9:03

different. Know for me I'm fine. Over

9:05

like the last four or five years

9:07

I've got a happy to see the

9:09

try to get my body a least

9:11

two months of like know basketball. On

9:14

and I'm still dawn in i did

9:16

yoga as and abilities and in a

9:18

walking around still be an actor but

9:20

stressing not how the system as far

9:23

as I'm i'm trying to mumbai like

9:25

some my system our don't about record

9:27

at all on actually like to. But

9:31

as a challenge and now because this is

9:33

is made farce. And

9:35

and in two months training camp

9:37

action starts. And babies

9:40

and and I don't wanna go into training

9:42

camp. Doing

9:44

nothing nothing on a court for two months.

9:46

So with gonna. Switch. It

9:48

up a little bit. I'm not gonna be, you

9:51

know, going crazy with my remarks raining? Whatever the

9:53

case may be our pride sake. the month of

9:55

May off. Him. about inopportune

9:57

arrest a damn fi runner

10:00

first or second week of June, I'll start to kind

10:02

of get back into the game a little bit. Just

10:04

to get, you know, start getting some routine shots up, getting

10:06

a feel for the ball. So now I got the feeble

10:08

ball I got to work with too. So that's a

10:11

little different. But you know, just get my

10:13

body reacclimated to just some of the movements

10:16

that you just you never do in a

10:18

regular day-to-day basis as far as when you're

10:20

doing, you know, workouts. So y'all switching up

10:22

a little bit. I

10:25

would always do the same thing six

10:27

to eight weeks depending on, you know,

10:29

when the season, obviously, the years I

10:31

made the finals, conference finals, those two,

10:34

my break from basketball was a little bit shorter.

10:36

But I've kept my body going. The

10:38

thing that I realized though when I got older is

10:40

like, I can't

10:43

turn it off because once I turn it off,

10:45

once I turn the faucet off, the water's never

10:47

coming back. So

10:49

I became even more diligent

10:51

in those like the basketball

10:53

breaks about like my lifts,

10:55

my Pilates, my conditioning, all

10:58

the mobility stuff I was working on, you know,

11:01

physical therapy, whatever I need to work on. Like if

11:04

I actually do take time

11:06

off and do nothing, like

11:08

I'm gonna, I'm just gonna be done.

11:10

Like that's that's the reality. There

11:13

were some singular plays in that Denver series for

11:15

sure. And look, we

11:17

have we have committed, I think

11:19

committed and maybe we haven't

11:21

been perfect, but we have committed to

11:25

avoiding or at least trying to the

11:28

discourse. I am, of course,

11:30

on the other side of this working

11:33

in media. So I see everything, right?

11:35

And a lot of it's

11:38

because it's you guys, honestly, a lot

11:40

of it is blaming someone,

11:43

blaming this player for this

11:45

player, this player for this performance. I get

11:47

it, man. Like it's part of

11:50

the job. I understand that. I

11:53

think what you said is important. And this

11:55

is not an excuse for the Lakers. It's

11:57

not what you said is important. Denver is

11:59

the better team. So as an

12:01

analyst, I would have told you that

12:03

yesterday. I would have told you that

12:05

four months ago. Hey LeBron, I

12:07

think Denver's a better team than you guys. Like

12:10

I would just be honest with you. You

12:13

have played in two years in a row. We

12:15

have spent some time on Jokic. He's

12:18

certainly part of the puzzle, a big

12:20

part of the puzzle. What

12:22

makes the Denver Nuggets puzzle

12:24

so hard to solve? I

12:28

think, obviously it starts with Joker, obviously.

12:32

But I don't think Jamal Murray gets enough credit.

12:37

He's not a part of the all

12:40

NBA conversation discourse.

12:43

He's not a part of the

12:45

I'm all star every year discourse,

12:47

all that shit. And I think

12:50

people get caught up in just thinking it's

12:52

just Joker, Joker, Joker. How do you stop

12:54

Joker? Man, when it

12:56

comes to nut crunching time, yes, Joker gonna make

12:58

a lot of plays. But

13:00

it's that motherfucker Jamal Murray that

13:03

will send you home and I'm

13:05

a victim of it. And he

13:08

just makes plays. He has a sense of

13:10

calmness when the ball is in his hand. And

13:13

they're working at either

13:15

that side, clear side, one five pick

13:17

and roll. Or that mid

13:19

pick and roll or that angle pick and

13:22

roll where he either handling Joker setting it

13:24

or he's playing touch game the Joker where he has

13:26

the come off full

13:29

speed he has the ability to go back door.

13:31

He's so shifty to step backs go on right.

13:33

You can't even dictate which way you know you know

13:36

how you can say okay, this

13:39

guy shoots better going this way, this guy

13:41

shoots off the dribble going this way. Well,

13:43

he hit two game winners on us in the series. One

13:46

was a step back going right, other one was a step

13:48

back going left. So

13:51

what the fuck do you do? And yes, we could have played

13:54

the last one a little bit better defensively.

13:57

But that's a different story and then to add

13:59

on to those two guys, Michael

14:02

Porter Jr. is a

14:06

fucking laser. I

14:09

don't know if it's just because he sees the

14:11

Lakers or the gold or whatever. I

14:13

feel like versus that motherfucker don't miss.

14:17

He did not. I called the one game where

14:19

he literally did not miss. Yeah,

14:21

in LA, he literally did not miss.

14:23

He literally did not miss. And I was

14:26

like, man, you can't even get. You

14:29

know how they say, close the gap,

14:31

get to his check. He

14:33

doesn't even see you. He doesn't see you.

14:36

And then those other two guys, man, you

14:38

got KCP out there, a guy who's

14:41

just a winner who makes winning plays. He can have

14:43

zero points. He can have 15 points.

14:45

And he's going to make an impact on

14:47

a game. And the same with Aaron Gourd. Aaron

14:50

Gourd, if he has two points or

14:52

if he has 20 points, his impact doesn't

14:54

change. He's going to rebound. He's going to stay. He

14:56

knows his role. He's going to be in the dunker.

14:58

He's going to slash from the baseline. He's

15:01

going to guard. I

15:04

just think they're super well, well,

15:06

well organized as a group. And

15:09

then obviously, their coaching staff

15:11

is pretty damn good on knowing what

15:14

their strengths. And they go to their

15:16

strengths. They avoid their weakness. They

15:19

avoid their weakness. There's not many. See,

15:22

the difference between great teams, good

15:24

teams, and bad teams is

15:26

to how many possessions can you

15:29

go throughout the course of the game that

15:32

meant absolutely nothing. Meaning a

15:34

great team won't go

15:37

through too many games where they had terrible

15:40

possessions, where it was like, what the fuck are we

15:42

doing? Where a great

15:45

team would never throw the ball into the

15:47

post to a guy. And

15:51

we're going to expect him to score if that's not what the fuck

15:53

you do. A great team would

15:55

never run a pick and roll with a player

15:57

if he's not a pick and roll player. Where

16:02

did the good and

16:04

the bad lies? Denver,

16:06

they know what their strengths are. And

16:09

it's not nobody on that floor that

16:12

does something that they shouldn't be doing. And

16:15

I think that's what makes, I think that's what often makes a

16:17

great team. Doc Rivers always

16:19

talks about basketball is a game of mistakes,

16:21

right? And it is, like there's not a,

16:23

there's, I get killed for saying

16:25

this, but I'll stand by this. I don't think there's ever

16:27

been a perfect player. I don't think there's ever been a

16:30

perfect team. I don't know of a team that did not

16:32

turn the ball over, did not miss a shot, did

16:34

not lose a game. Like basketball is a

16:37

game of mistakes. What you just said is,

16:39

I think really important and it gets ratcheted

16:41

up more, even more in the playoffs. And

16:43

that is having a purpose to every possession.

16:45

That is having an intent to what

16:48

we're trying to do on this possession. I think that's

16:50

an important point. I'm

16:52

glad you brought up Michael Porter Jr. Because

16:54

he has

16:58

really to me embraced like the

17:01

role that he has. And

17:04

I've talked to him about it. And some of it is the

17:06

guy has had insane injuries. Did

17:08

the back surgery, playing with drop foot,

17:10

all that stuff. He's just grateful

17:12

to play now. But I

17:14

think he is the hardest

17:17

player that is not like

17:19

a primary score, right? He's the hardest

17:22

player to close out to.

17:25

Yeah, the reason I say that he's

17:27

6'10", he elevates on his

17:29

jump shot. They

17:32

always maintain elite spacing.

17:35

So if you make a mistake in your help

17:37

or you make a mistake on the Jamal Murray,

17:39

the Coli Yocha coverage in a pick and roll,

17:41

and you have to react to that. You have

17:44

to over help. You get beat

17:46

by Jamal Murray, ball starts swinging. You

17:49

can't close to him. He just is going to

17:51

shoot over the top. And if for some reason

17:54

you are there soon enough, he's

17:57

gotten elite at driving close outs. He

17:59

really is. whether he's getting to his midi

18:01

or he's getting all the way to the basket.

18:04

Yep. Like he's not a primary guy, but

18:07

he's a star in his role. And as

18:10

we see all the time in the playoffs, those

18:12

guys become even more important

18:14

in a series. Because the whole

18:16

point of the place, LeBron, you know the point of the

18:18

playoffs is like, how do

18:20

we make every single player

18:22

uncomfortable? And it starts with the star players. How

18:25

do we make the star players uncomfortable? Yep.

18:27

I mean, listen, Jamal

18:30

hit two game winners on us. But

18:32

you look at his numbers, we did a

18:34

hell of a job on Jamal as far as making it

18:36

tough on him. He shot maybe

18:38

high 30s, maybe I don't know the

18:40

statistics, but maybe high 30s from the

18:42

field in our series. And

18:45

obviously, Joker's gonna do what he did. Michael

18:48

Porter is the one who kicked her ass. You

18:50

know, he kicked her ass. And you remember we talked

18:52

about like having luck to win a championship. Denver

18:56

is a case for that. There's

18:58

no way coming out of high school

19:01

before the back surgery that Michael Porter would

19:03

even be in Denver. And guys,

19:05

it was a projected number one pick in the draft, you

19:08

know. And because of the back, you know, teams

19:10

get them alarmed and whatever the case may be

19:12

because of that. And he slid in

19:15

the draft and he slid right to the

19:17

perfect position and perfect spot. They waited

19:19

on him, didn't rush him, whatever the

19:21

case may be. Then he got in and then he was still

19:24

a little injured, like you said, with the drop foot or whatever

19:26

the case may be. But now

19:28

he's in a perfect situation. He's in a

19:30

perfect situation around two guys that you have

19:33

to keep, not only your eyes on him,

19:35

if you're guarding as a primary defender, but

19:37

then another set of eyes. So,

19:39

it's gonna be somebody on that floor that

19:42

you're gonna forget about. And,

19:45

you know, he makes you pay. Like you

19:47

said, 6'10", he shoots

19:49

at the top of his

19:52

jump shot. His

19:54

elbow was right in your face, too, so you can't close

19:56

the gap because if you hit his elbow, there's three free

19:58

throws. There is

20:00

a become part. Of

20:03

an imminent does draw while I'm talking here.

20:06

But. We. Talked

20:08

about. The. Singular plays in the

20:10

Luck. I want to

20:12

talk about. Sailing.

20:15

Up Three. Whether or not to ballot

20:18

three can be seen. This happen. Already.

20:21

Already. Four times, sometimes multiple times

20:23

within a game. Yet. I was

20:26

multiple times within a series. Yeah. I'm.

20:29

I. Don't know how it every coach you've

20:31

had has approached whether or not to foul

20:33

up three at the end of a game.

20:36

On. A defensive possession. Ah,

20:38

but it just kind of give me

20:40

your overall thoughts on it. And

20:43

I I really do want to sort of break

20:45

this down because I think you it's going to

20:47

come up again. It. Is going to

20:49

come up against. Yeah, and what

20:51

are the all other circumstances has gone on

20:53

at this point? Okay, so you're up three.

20:56

Is it the under twenty four seconds

20:58

left? Any game? Is it? Do we

21:01

have a time out? What are some

21:03

cases? farm? I. Was watching a

21:05

game last night. I was a New

21:07

York Gov three. Ah, You.

21:09

Know how research is it? A four point play.

21:12

On. To come back down just heart goes more

21:14

for to from the freedom I put a month

21:16

three. Phillies. coming down

21:18

and I personally. I

21:21

would have thought. I

21:23

would have. Wow. What a

21:25

I would have found before to

21:28

receive across half court. Okay

21:30

on I just as is due in

21:32

a has to be. And

21:34

for. Has to be

21:36

on the downward dribbles. If you don't

21:39

have found, you have to fall. On.

21:41

The downward trouble on.

21:44

You. Know any for is sometimes a lot of guys

21:46

are free to do a to. A. Lot

21:48

of coaches are afraid to tell their

21:50

team to fall when of three. Because.

21:53

One see, the one. they haven't worked on it. Or.

21:56

Two. If. it is you

21:58

know with our rules of things. It gets

22:00

tricky sometimes and you send a guy to

22:03

the free throw line, you

22:05

know, because you try to follow them in the

22:07

case. But I

22:10

am following. I am following. I am

22:13

following. I am following. It's just, guys

22:16

are too great, man. Guys are

22:18

too great. I'm in agreeance

22:20

with you. I'm fouling up three every

22:22

single time. Every single time. Every single

22:24

time. Look, I

22:27

think, though, to your point, I

22:30

about fouling Maxi on that particular play

22:32

in the backcourt. I don't

22:34

have it off the top of my head when

22:37

he caught the ball. Right. But

22:39

let's say when

22:41

he's in the backcourt, he's somewhere between 10

22:44

and 12 seconds on the clock. A

22:47

lot of coaches that I

22:49

had that taught us to

22:52

foul up three, it was always,

22:54

you know, you don't consider doing it until it's

22:56

six to eight seconds. Six to eight seconds. Right.

22:59

Which I

23:02

don't really know why we did that cutoff. Maybe we

23:04

can get into that. So

23:06

the foul on the Maxi play would have

23:08

been early. The

23:11

other two factors that you always

23:13

have to consider are do you have

23:15

good free throwers? Do you have a good guy? Like a guy

23:17

you trust? You have multiple guys you can trust. Like

23:21

when I played on the Clippers, man, like

23:24

our end game offensive closing

23:26

lineup was me, Jamal Crawford and Chris

23:28

Paul. There was one year we all shot 90%. Yeah, exactly.

23:32

So we should foul up three.

23:35

You talked about the downward dribble. This is what I wanted

23:37

to drop because this relates directly to

23:39

the play

23:42

that happened the first Middleton three in

23:44

the end. In game three of

23:47

Humdee and Milwaukee. So

23:50

Middleton had it out of bounds, right? Brooke

23:52

had it posting up Miles

23:55

Turner right here, right? So Brooke's

23:58

trying to get open. and

24:00

he kind of shoves Miles Turner and he

24:02

steps out. Now this was a

24:04

lob pass. So this is an

24:06

important thing that I think

24:09

was taught well to me and I think is important

24:11

in all of this. Half court, I

24:13

mean, full court and half court are two different things. As

24:16

that ball's in the air, so

24:20

Brooke's right there. Like, I was

24:22

taught to run through the ball. Run

24:25

through the ball. Meaning just foul before

24:27

the guy gets it. The ball's been

24:29

released. The ball's been released. Yep. The

24:32

ball's been released. So in that particular

24:34

play, and they obviously were not fouling

24:36

up three. He then gets

24:38

the dribble handoff up here. Miles

24:42

Turner hedges. Hedges, yeah. It

24:45

forces like a

24:48

dribble around, away from the basket.

24:50

So he had like two or three opportunities

24:52

to foul. To foul. Clearly, Rick Carlisle's telling

24:55

him not to foul, right? And

24:57

Middleton makes a crazy shot. All

24:59

of this is to say, and you said

25:01

it already, these guys

25:03

are too fucking good. Middleton's shot was ridiculous.

25:05

Maxi pulled up from 37 feet or 38,

25:07

whatever it was, 38 feet inside

25:11

the logo. Like,

25:13

you can't afford to

25:15

allow guys to get a clean shot anymore. If you

25:17

go back to game two as well, I think it

25:20

was game two, the

25:23

Dante DiVincenzo, you know, Maxi getting fouled and

25:25

losing the ball and all that stuff. DiVincenzo

25:27

to three. They end up getting it

25:30

back. They were up three again, and they elected

25:32

not to foul. I think there were six seconds

25:34

on the clock when they took it out. So

25:36

clearly, Tibbs, whether he made the adjustment or not,

25:38

like, certain coaches still believe you

25:41

don't foul. And I think there's the camp that you foul every

25:43

time. Yeah, and you have

25:45

to live with it. It's almost like if

25:47

you're a blackjack player, if you're going

25:49

to hit every time on a

25:52

verse of two on 12, then do it every

25:54

time. If

25:56

it's a two showing and you got 12, if you

25:59

hit... All the time, just hit all the time. Don't

26:01

be sitting at the table with me. You

26:03

say, well, sometimes I hit it, sometimes I

26:05

don't. Well, no, I

26:08

can't sit at this table with you. So

26:11

I agree. We have coaches out

26:13

there that say, we're gonna guard.

26:15

I trust my defense, we're gonna guard. We're gonna guard,

26:18

we're gonna guard. I'm

26:20

just not on that side. I'm on the side of,

26:22

if we have three, let's follow. Let's

26:24

follow up three. You gotta trust

26:26

and help the thing. Obviously, like you said, personnel

26:29

is key. You gotta have a trusted guy that

26:31

you trust to inbound the ball after

26:34

they make free throws. If you

26:36

have a timeout, you should be good. Try to get

26:38

the ball into your best free throw shooter. If not,

26:40

call the timeout, advance it. If you don't have a

26:42

timeout, get it to your best free throw shooter. But

26:45

these are things you work on in practice. Hey,

26:47

if we have three, no timeouts, we're gonna foul.

26:49

If they make two, you take the

26:51

ball out, expect a trap on the first one.

26:54

Expect a trap, because they're gonna try to trap you get

26:57

the ball, you do all that stuff

26:59

so long. It's

27:01

all about preparation, man. It's about preparation. And like

27:03

I said, I'm with you, JJ. When it comes

27:06

to being up three, I

27:08

wanna foul. I

27:10

don't like seeing that ball up in the air

27:12

while we watching the ball like, oh

27:15

shit, this is going in. This

27:19

shit is going in. The

27:22

feeling of victory was so fucking close. Now

27:24

we gotta go to over-top. The

27:26

timeout thing is also important, I think, in all of this,

27:28

where if a team's

27:31

out of timeouts, number

27:33

one, if it's under 10 seconds, it should be automatically.

27:35

But they're out of timeouts, let's say, with 20 seconds.

27:38

I think there's more wiggle room to fouling

27:40

earlier, in

27:43

this case, the max you play. Singular

27:47

plays, fouling up three,

27:50

brings up a memory. Bron brings up a

27:52

memory. 2009, we're down 2-1. We're

27:57

up 12 at halftime against the Lakers in game

27:59

four. Require. Ass off.

28:02

Hasn't turnover issues. Has. Some

28:04

free throw issues. Were. Still up

28:06

five with under minutes ago and the

28:08

ball. To tie the

28:10

series. Something's. Happened, we miss him.

28:12

Free Throws: Gabi makes a ridiculous passed a power

28:14

has done a lane and dunks it. Eighty

28:17

Seven Eighty Four. Go back to the

28:19

free throw line. Anyways,

28:21

it ends up. They get the ball

28:23

back with about ten seconds to go in front of

28:25

their bench. For. Some

28:27

reason I don't know why we doubled coby. He

28:30

swung at the Trevor Ariza who stood across

28:32

the court to Derek Fisher to say he

28:34

just lined up or three. Lying

28:36

about eight of the Three Stooges line

28:38

it up. Do you remember. I

28:41

don't see I was trying to figure out today about for

28:43

reference I couldn't find. It. You remember.

28:47

What? Year it was. We. Were

28:49

playing. I think it was in

28:51

Cleveland. And. Stand had

28:53

just sorta implemented. We're. Going to

28:55

fall up three. And. I think

28:57

it was that year. It might have been the year

28:59

before. And were playing

29:01

against you guess? And. You catch the

29:03

ball right there half. Like. Not shooting

29:06

range and there's no idle time on the

29:08

clock. And. You, you read

29:10

it right and. We. Found and

29:12

you would in your shirt and got released

29:14

as some and I'm really sorry I'm trying

29:16

to figure out like did that have something

29:19

because we we didn't. We. Didn't

29:21

say as far as I can remember

29:23

and clearly by spheres defensive approach we

29:25

didn't say we're going to fat, right?

29:28

Were networks Fuck man. I.

29:30

Must say we would have won the series by the

29:32

way not send am able to to was a hell

29:34

of a lot better than Three one not listen or

29:37

know. Speaking. To Jamal Murray.

29:40

Bronson. Maxi these guys near me.

29:42

One thing that I loved about all

29:44

three of them. So.

29:46

They are. Considered. Point

29:48

guards right. They. Are considered

29:51

point guards so many times. Ah,

29:54

We'll. Just get off the ball. Note:

29:57

Cut down. And.

30:00

Then get a say this is your market. He does like to

30:02

come to his left and. They'll. Just get

30:04

this. little rubs green into a Dhl. right?

30:07

That action to me. Is

30:09

so like. Practicing. That

30:11

action doing it in games all season

30:14

long. Stuff. Like that. I.

30:16

Think becomes even more valuable in

30:18

the playoffs because you cancer to

30:20

be. Sets. Cancer the difference

30:23

and you? you? you didn't. Off.

30:25

The Ball And we all know

30:28

that. My. Mother was a primary

30:30

god gives off the ball with a defender.

30:32

Does someone split second to relax a little

30:34

bit. So. You

30:37

know when mall and Reese in

30:39

jail jail and they do not

30:41

the ball. You relax just so

30:43

little bit and I'm flying. Underneath.

30:46

And in a scream. Know.

30:48

In our case is Erin Doors and the

30:50

screen So you can want to stay Barrio

30:52

Body don't want to switch said because now

30:54

and Gordon's your dog in a smaller guy.

30:56

It's a pain you don't want to switch

30:58

that. You. Know. With. Harrys,

31:01

you know the to. Swing

31:04

and it's be. The

31:08

guy distorting and be the sole focus on

31:10

and be may be gone one on one.

31:12

When the drop off happens she's not in

31:14

a position to help. Fatalities.

31:16

Is coming off Negative is coming off

31:18

the into with one two three dollars.

31:20

Step back. You know he's

31:22

coming off so much force. The

31:24

summer speed and or three guys

31:26

they come off was so much

31:28

speed and they keep your defense

31:30

honored all the time. Has never

31:32

is no false gas with them.

31:34

When Aaron action. The

31:37

of the play with Max and then. I

31:40

just think is so hard. Is

31:43

is there simple double drag moving

31:45

and and bill. Or a lot

31:47

of times in this series at least. And again, we all

31:49

know the outcome of the series. But a lotta times in

31:51

the series. The. New Zealand Bransons Man as

31:53

the first win of ever Jaylen is guarding right

31:55

is that is the first grader and hair to

31:58

they don't wanna miss Was it right? Egg. Quip

32:00

and. It. Just feels like.

32:03

With. Maxi bring up the speed

32:05

Maxi in particular. The. Way I

32:07

use able to turn this corner. Moving.

32:09

And then have this defender still so

32:12

concerned with your well. The Abyss

32:14

to me as one of the top His actions

32:16

to guard. For the Philadelphia Seventy

32:18

Sixer, noticed him to play less just a

32:20

double drag. It. It might be

32:22

created a great when advantage because of

32:25

his speed and because you're well as

32:27

their the up in a decrease the

32:29

whole ripple effect us the whole mess

32:31

with off offices are dictated on how

32:34

can I treated. Who.

32:36

Can create your own. Have more. To.

32:39

Make this whole thing work and like to

32:41

say where we come in at death and

32:43

it'll just do like a double drag. Where's

32:45

My guys are like stacked right behind me

32:48

so they spread it out a little bit

32:50

south. you have the first screen or here

32:52

and in a tangle a little bit and

32:54

in the next screen or his time and

32:56

Mirada for the angle a little bit someone

32:58

sorry says com and all he's already, he's

33:01

already running down hill. And.

33:05

All. Three of which to be mighty angle

33:07

right yup, or signers a little bit higher their

33:09

space or higher. The second sanders a little bit

33:11

lower. Example worse at as we see

33:14

with Maxi by the way, She

33:16

says she got you go under his

33:18

shoe relaxer sentiments exactly. And the same

33:20

with those other two guys were Bronson

33:22

and with a large mall they will.

33:24

They will stop and path so. You

33:26

know when you have a threat at that point guard

33:29

position with that type of speed? You.

33:31

Want to get the office will work

33:33

desaturated Nasa trigger. I do. Specifically.

33:36

With Brunson, where do you think some

33:38

of the adjustments have been in this

33:41

series? offensively for them? To. Get

33:43

him more space. Or

33:45

got him off the ball a be more

33:47

on. Obviously he's always ends up

33:49

with the ball, but I think early and

33:51

o'clock they've gotten him off the ball and

33:54

then allow him to get the ball as

33:56

it at noon. Arsene, you know, does a

33:58

brain of all of a lot. The more

34:00

you know joshua to bring a bowl of a

34:02

lot more to because. There's not

34:04

much of a a senior officers or three but

34:06

he's not much of a threat out there. When

34:09

he had when his ham on in the ball

34:11

so his defender is gonna play off on will

34:13

obey so it allows him to be able to

34:15

go to a D H O was your hand

34:17

off the brushing were lived rebels that allows him

34:20

to hear you know either our hearts are seen

34:22

a farm in our or or or or middle

34:24

robison you know they play the how i get

34:26

such game it in a goal set up and

34:28

down for brother come into his left arm so

34:31

they've gone the other they've got you. Into

34:36

was went wrong is by. Muslims

34:40

Garnham Kelly who braves Garen and Tobias

34:42

Harris is gonna be trying to put

34:44

some live. In or around I'm

34:46

not a trial detain him immobile for city. Still

34:49

get all because he so fast. He.

34:51

That the. that's a big part of it to me. Is

34:53

is is having someone else to sprint

34:55

the pop. Yeah, since you stopped us

34:57

first couple games and it's not that

34:59

he's not, he didn't do it again.

35:01

Three four five Fire for thing about

35:04

those first couple games where he's initiating

35:06

the office every time tell you Bray

35:08

is picking him up at ninety. Forget

35:10

the every single possess, every single dead

35:12

ball, every single mates. He's.

35:14

Guarding him and that to me takes

35:16

a little bit of the top to

35:18

confer Guy who does legitimately nearly all

35:20

of the half court creation for that

35:22

to hear. I saw her know who

35:24

is Randall for know the others name

35:26

of the other thing that they've done

35:28

I think is this angle pick and

35:30

roll. Ah, Appear.

35:35

As a lot of times it is an empty side by

35:37

the way. Is. It this angle. Pick and

35:39

roll up here. They've.

35:42

Done a good job. I think of keeping it off

35:44

the sideline and why is that? Importance of Joel's jaws

35:46

and a drop was others. And in game five George

35:48

jaws and a job. They're going to force him to

35:50

his right hand. right? Jailing can shoot

35:52

apple a break. For. The other

35:55

reason it's important. Is.

35:58

Whether. Joy as upper back. As.

36:01

Jail and comes off. This. Pig

36:03

or right here. He. Now has

36:05

space. The. Officers like a big thing

36:07

I think. That it's gonna be

36:09

a big thing with Minnesota and Denver as well.

36:11

with Anthony and Were and pick and roll. Just

36:14

you want These guys and Damien

36:16

Leather to me is is I

36:18

think the best at doing this.

36:20

Particularly going last. You. Want

36:23

These guys. To. Have space.

36:25

So let's say you're wells all the way up. You.

36:28

Want space to be able to get around? You.

36:30

Don't want to to waste and sideline

36:32

stuff. Rice third defender. let's say he's

36:34

back. They do a good job at

36:36

chasing over now jail and as we

36:38

saw multiple times the series. Can.

36:40

Get past them either way right with his

36:42

work speed. got a name one all that

36:44

stuff. So I think the where it's not

36:46

just like over to run a we're going

36:48

one angle pick and roll. it's where your

36:50

foot and everyone else. And it's

36:53

where it is on the floor. It's

36:55

giving enough space for them to actually

36:57

attacked the big. Yeah. Absolutely. in

36:59

analysis you go to the game from game again

37:01

you see how they being guarded you know and

37:03

in your case you know Danny Brown's i'm having

37:05

a room on a salary either can waste the

37:08

big or to say go on you know north

37:10

and south race debated it is so a night

37:12

a cup race yoga layup. He also has the

37:14

ability com a right if your wheels in a

37:16

drop the as a beta snake it all back

37:18

left to a super comfortable with his mid range

37:21

in age was never uses for work and also

37:23

you know if you get to go early. Like

37:25

you said Dame Litter is the best It is.

37:28

It. That biggest too far was that bit

37:30

more said. You know that that offers advice

37:32

as their spring day's coming off and is

37:34

len ago that day that balls dogs before

37:36

that became get a fast enough yet is

37:39

let me go and dame assess or two

37:41

guys in our early. Their. Base

37:43

will screen hims re mine and now broken.

37:45

oh god that com screams of their gaza

37:48

has courts as soon as they cross our

37:50

for their and rings. I

37:54

was thinking about Maxi his he sort of

37:56

the third guy brought up and I was

37:58

thinking about him today as think it about

38:00

the playoffs right and you else a big

38:02

piece in this because I think having him

38:04

on the for we we watch Maxi by

38:06

Maxine was great. With node

38:08

you our season. But. He's clearly a

38:10

better player, which allows, right. Arm.

38:12

Aus this about the. And

38:15

my guess he's fast. But.

38:17

He's also. He also changes

38:19

speed so well. That

38:22

the way I would describe of and why think he's

38:24

so good in the play asked is cause you can't

38:26

get a hold of. You

38:28

know what I mean by that movie.

38:30

Was embarrassed. There's like a the his

38:32

he constantly plays with. They bounce to

38:35

his step and sometimes the bounces are

38:37

slower, sometimes they're faster. and then we

38:39

wants to turn on the jets. He

38:41

turns on the Jets. But. It's

38:43

it's it's hard. With.

38:45

Just two defenders, I think. And

38:48

space to actually get a of and

38:50

put your hands on him and really

38:52

slowed down. The And And

38:55

a motherfucker, don't tire. Yeah.

38:58

I don't get tired. My. Was a game

39:00

last night. But.

39:03

The place. Fifty minutes at a

39:05

baby? In

39:07

all, Have heard his elbow at one point,

39:10

turned his ankle at one point. In.

39:12

The ground numerous times shot him on a lane.

39:14

A dog on two guys. Get a blog, get

39:16

back up. But

39:19

he's. Like you said, you can get

39:21

a hold on because you don't get tired.

39:23

You know ethic because of it all your

39:25

time. Younger disagree? point. So.

39:28

The reason i bring up that anthony had

39:30

were joking stuff cause to me this is

39:32

like. Probably

39:35

the most will be the most fascinating

39:37

second round series. Yoga is your me

39:39

ago? it's gonna be a good one.

39:42

Where do you think? The.

39:44

We were talking earlier about solving the

39:46

Denver nuggets. Possible? Where do you think?

39:48

Ah, Minnesota. Has

39:50

an advantage or can create an

39:53

advantage. Ah, I'm

39:55

ah, think. When. It.

39:57

Obviously Minnesota's of and which they have

40:00

an army in general and amount of

40:02

is worse them or worse anybody The

40:04

left of it happens when. You.

40:07

Know. It'll look at

40:09

my college of the tall guy. But.

40:11

Just. You. Know he has

40:13

a lot. A lot of their. Odyssey.

40:15

And was lot of that. The

40:18

Agenda: Mcdaniels Low Low.

40:21

Cost less. Rudy let you know to

40:23

come off with the cure water. Live.

40:26

Now. Sri Lanka. Ah,

40:29

Who. Am I was a cow? Anderson? They.

40:32

Did they say they just they could

40:34

see you to barrage you was the

40:36

last laugh. Laugh. At

40:39

the Guy they also not apply to. So.

40:42

There has been Arabic is about as good a

40:44

body and. Because fence differences, games or

40:46

whoever a d for the coordinator is there

40:48

on want to. Speculate. Whatever

40:50

case may be, but he's a guy,

40:53

the hell, Dakota, the coaching staff, as

40:55

the other coaches at a taco Tuesday

40:57

because he says. And. Those guys

40:59

have bought answered a defensive and like

41:01

and. And as as not

41:03

only that that they bought into the defensive and they

41:05

got. A fan. You.

41:08

Know I make a mark on the defensive and

41:10

solves that runs. Have it for anything you know.

41:12

Nudges. Ah in Phoenix and are

41:14

not just for dinner. think they know demos

41:16

of it as as you got to have

41:19

the best. Off. As a team and we

41:21

haven't a game is go to Boston. First.

41:23

The best decency. That.

41:26

That we have in our lead rhino. Nino.

41:28

Go On added in a second round matchup which

41:30

is. Super. Are

41:32

intriguing an exciting for for.

41:35

Guys. Like myself and fans it again. Yeah.

41:39

Several things So so The reason I

41:42

bring up the ante Edwards. Thanks So.

41:44

Joke. It's like to be up in the take

41:46

are all right? So. In in let's

41:48

say the same. Scenario.

41:51

Where. At

41:53

the average is getting this this angle pickerel yolk, it

41:55

is going to be. All the way up

41:57

as he comes off. Yeah, so the space.

42:00

And where they set the strain. He

42:02

flew. The next guy is over here. Where.

42:06

They space go bear all of this stuff.

42:08

Super important. If.

42:10

It is. Carla. The town

42:13

same screen nos read. right?

42:16

Do. They get to a priest

42:19

which. Is. Anti I

42:21

was rather pick and roll vs. whoever.

42:23

Jamal Murray's guard right? Get.

42:25

Him on a than of us you've got currently thousand

42:27

hours. Read against Jamal Murray. They switch the other thing

42:29

they did a time in the Phoenix series. You

42:32

know when when it ain't Was an iso. You've.

42:35

Got cat is the next guy. You

42:38

and me my the as being the next guy

42:40

of their study has a capacity as funny as

42:42

find the next guy. I say this I'm a

42:44

huge I was for off and sounds fucking he'd

42:47

done this. So. It's A

42:49

and has a matchup or is going against. Whoever.

42:51

Is going as Casey P. The.

42:53

Next Guy meaning. Carnegie

42:56

Towns is the next pass, so as

42:59

he he drives he tries to create

43:01

whatever may be that next passes probably

43:03

downs. That's. Important. These. Are

43:05

these are these are things that like to your

43:07

point earlier. I think I just want to reiterate

43:09

this. There's. A purpose to

43:12

every pitch possession The there's a

43:14

reason. That. Aaron Gordon is space

43:16

this way. There is a reason the Jade

43:18

Mcdaniels a space in the corner. Like yeah,

43:20

there's a reason behind all of this. Yeah,

43:23

I think up and go farm or think

43:25

of Minnesota. Decide to put. On

43:27

Joker and Pick and rolls along

43:29

and into going to travel. On

43:32

the gonna force. Rudy.

43:35

To be a decision maker in a

43:37

pocket? Oh. You

43:42

know it's a difference different from any.

43:44

They just assume the party. You

43:47

know to Rudy kissing the parking yes he can

43:49

make plays we know name is a be a

43:51

player and his knowledge the first time season plus

43:53

offhand but. You know when you

43:55

allow and to get down hill are you

43:58

alarm turn a corner it is over. Metaphorically

44:01

says. Not. Wealthy wealthy

44:03

I made us all speculation and is

44:05

as use and are baffled by to

44:07

and are are smarter the game but

44:09

I think you know I don't get

44:11

was away any secrets die They arrived

44:13

just for try that we're trying to.

44:16

Break. Down Like. A.

44:18

Centrally. Ah, What?

44:21

What is going through A coaching staff? What

44:23

is going to rock layers? head in the

44:25

miles. These are the jags best keep like

44:27

all teams meet this way this is how

44:29

you us Is that your how do we

44:31

explain. Your specific team, how to exploit

44:33

this did this exact match up and right

44:35

in some cases because I lived through it.

44:38

How. Do I avoid this matchup and drag

44:40

myself and others what I have any and

44:42

you got some great teams on added. To.

44:45

The best teams this year. And.

44:47

The As obvious as much as game

44:50

of a boner day one of it

44:52

is our gameplan. I've shit. Going

44:54

against you. Okay, that worked in game one. Okay,

44:56

well maybe he didn't work as much as we

44:59

thought we do this. They could change the one

45:01

seen the West. the team that was too young.

45:05

Was. A commissary, They.

45:07

They swept the pelicans. I'm significance

45:09

without their best player non. Number.

45:13

Of. Number. Of guys played well

45:15

in that series Share of course had some

45:17

big moments, jail and had some some massive

45:20

games. But. The

45:22

guy that that really stood out

45:24

to me, particularly because there was

45:26

no Zion. Was. Lou Door

45:28

was locked. Door is his defense

45:31

on Brandon Ingram. You guys know

45:33

I wanted to ask you as

45:35

A as a. Primary.

45:38

Got. Ah, What

45:40

does it feel like? Going.

45:42

Into a series. Knowing.

45:44

Which you are going against a loo

45:46

dort it's could is gonna be in

45:48

your shirt is is not going to

45:50

concede switches. right? That they

45:52

you may force him into a switch at times,

45:54

but he's never going to concede to switch like

45:57

he knows what his role is. And

45:59

then as the series pro. This. And.

46:01

You've now become annoyed with him. By.

46:03

Minute Forty of Game One is now

46:06

been for. The. Brought I'm

46:08

serious. Do the price. For.

46:10

You for any great off and some player.

46:13

Luca. Right now going through with parents?

46:15

man. Like. What is

46:17

that like? Other

46:19

Guy any time you going into a

46:21

series when a defender is capable of

46:24

new door skills. Hum.

46:27

You can was spent on a court. And.

46:31

As fuck around thought. I'm

46:34

not coming out here. Trying to get

46:36

him a bag. I'm not gonna

46:38

come out here. You know,

46:41

door between between behind crossovers to

46:43

get you all for me. Is.

46:46

If I'm going to pick a role, You

46:48

tell your big. You. Gotta screening.

46:51

Yes, He got out of five. Do it. But. I'm

46:54

sending you a screen. Get him off me

46:56

for a little bit. And

46:58

then if I may I saw situations I know

47:00

I can fuck around. his quickness. Is

47:02

quick. Move one corner and give him a

47:04

spot. It all. Because.

47:08

It's pretty poor. Wow, I got more guys

47:10

like that. They. Are illegal? Where

47:13

are you? They. Wanted a body or

47:15

you that will make a physical you know in

47:17

a play off your allow the be a lot

47:19

more physical world as obscene and officers in our

47:21

series of relic of like a regular season game

47:23

but what if would to sign the point. I'm.

47:27

says. The as the guy whose team

47:29

had the greatest free throw disparity in

47:31

be a the last two seasons. This

47:33

guy says. Oh

47:38

you gotta like the got a disco.

47:40

There's no. The. Maybe

47:43

you can get one game aware of it's it's a

47:45

one months away warm up to the hit, his intensity

47:47

to waste play or whatever. But. As

47:49

not much you can, you can be out there, fuck

47:51

around with your movements. And you

47:54

get the job done because he's is

47:56

not golfing internet he's just a there

47:58

any of these areas. It.

48:01

Is that mindset around that

48:03

not messing around? It Is

48:05

that because. You. Know

48:07

there's going to be a toll with

48:09

him garden you. So doing extra creates

48:11

an extra tall is that you have

48:13

that sort of the the mindset are

48:15

about to ask absolutely absolutely and also

48:17

at the same time. You

48:20

know, I believe I could. You can wear guys like

48:22

that Downs where. He. Knows if you

48:24

not messing around you you may be on

48:26

getting my only. You.

48:28

Know could be sweet. In.

48:33

Early. two point on. So now he wants

48:35

to. Our team is going to force it

48:37

on your butt off a little bit. You

48:39

know you able to give him a second

48:41

file. You know laden first quarter early in

48:43

a second? maybe? He. Dance or

48:45

will pick up three and a force after

48:47

nine Com os arrested a hassle enough for

48:49

me as. In our are trying to

48:52

say it's okay for sure but. No

48:54

door was deathly doing sabres be I

48:56

International's guys. he adam. And

48:58

and was tansy. I'm going to call the

49:00

clutch. Is there

49:03

anyone that says I to praise. And. He

49:05

of those. Defenders. Like

49:07

Lou Door. That. You feel like

49:09

throughout your career. Whether.

49:12

You've won or lost or whether they've lost her

49:14

one where you just you would get done with

49:16

the series be like added. That.

49:18

That guy has my respect. You

49:20

know? Ah, My.

49:22

Article Must First year back in

49:24

Cleveland. On a return.

49:27

And it was maybe our first round opponent.

49:30

Thing we played Detroit. For. Not

49:32

mistaken. And.

49:35

I think Tcp was on a teen drama

49:38

was on eighteen. On.

49:41

Our The Gods on a team of Movies on

49:43

a team I believe. I

49:46

think stamps coach and if I'm not the state

49:48

are they Stand was taught unity. But.

49:50

That's your question. Stanley Johnson was the

49:52

are my respect in her first mouse

49:54

ears. Stanley. Johnson. He.

49:57

He. Had a lateral movement he had to

49:59

philly. How do. You. Could sail

50:01

that Dakota staff told him. Don't.

50:04

Worry about the schemes. So.

50:07

I the same thing with Door To

50:09

My Door by the Cgs. everybody's switches

50:11

but you you get to every screen.

50:15

If you if you weeks I'll oh man you

50:17

have no responsibility, you don't fully and you

50:19

basically play in a bathroom one. You.

50:22

Know there's a lot more guys off the I'll

50:24

give credit to differently but as the one got

50:26

out alive. of the of my head

50:29

like a larger than or i don't know exactly

50:31

what you're saying is not. Recent memory of ten

50:33

years ago was reason enough for salad. Every was

50:35

the. The. They possess those know

50:37

steal stuff in our in our and on a for

50:39

sure. With.

50:42

Isn't a cyanide? that last point Our

50:44

make Khasab I like. I like when.

50:47

One. Show builds upon another. In

50:50

a we we did the show. Last.

50:52

Week about three point shooting.

50:55

And. Why? It's sort

50:57

of changed everything. Ah

50:59

a saw great stat today the it

51:02

came across my timeline. Teams

51:06

that make more threes in this

51:08

playoffs so far twenty seven and

51:10

nine. Teams. That

51:12

attempt More Three. Just attempt More

51:15

threes. Or. Twenty seven a day. There.

51:19

There's a lot of Sat dogs do. There's a

51:21

lot of factors and all of this right. As

51:24

a lot, some of these games are coming down

51:26

a single place. You can have a high turnover

51:28

game with a bunch ally ball turnovers like the

51:30

Clippers didn't Game three that leads to a bunch

51:32

of fast break points. the mat like. There's a

51:35

bunch of factors to a game. New.

51:37

And I'm sure there's other stats that show

51:39

or if you do this, For.

51:41

Success right? You're going win the game.

51:44

All. I'm saying is I think three

51:47

point six is pretty important. I think

51:49

there's a there's a map, his shoe

51:51

bomber. where do you said? As far

51:53

as more threes, more more up. From.

51:56

His You know when you go to your your

51:58

son's team. Both

52:00

laughing. Matter.

52:04

Where your to to be was important your first able

52:06

to redo to what I wouldn't pass. Ah,

52:11

I believe. I believe math said play

52:14

into it. I

52:16

think there's times. Now.

52:18

Where. Your. You.

52:21

Have to play. A

52:23

perfect game. Is.

52:27

At the baseline level, you're going

52:29

to be outmatched. The.

52:31

right? Near. The United States do you

52:34

have You have to say? okay, Where.

52:36

52:38

a team that. Forces.

52:40

A ton of turnovers, And we

52:42

be a team that crashes the off it's

52:44

blast that the there's There's other ways to

52:47

create advantages. My. Point is. If.

52:50

You're. Going against a team that is gonna shoot forty

52:52

to forty five, The reason you're going to shoot twenty

52:54

to five to twenty five to thirty. You.

52:56

Better fucking mail. All of your advantage

52:58

is right, Iraq or otherwise, you've you.

53:01

You're just. You're not gonna win. The

53:03

match the mass a mass in a level idiot.

53:06

Now you gotta have the new I break recognize.

53:08

You gotta have the personnel the do all these

53:10

things. I've been with my my kids I have.

53:13

Had. Like three kids, three cats, three kids. They

53:15

can shoot threes that you know from a

53:17

nine ten year old that are violent. How

53:19

efficient. and I tell them I'm like. You

53:22

you? if you guys take ten good threes

53:24

and a game. Twelve good threes and a

53:26

game. Of cool with it. As

53:28

these games you know a high score

53:31

games for need of so excited to

53:33

see minute then he clocked except in

53:35

the last years minutes of a happy

53:37

so slight if if we can shoot

53:39

the thirty threes. And make.

53:42

Five. Or six of them. Unlimited That

53:44

brought us verify the way shooting at three a

53:46

badly at that age. you know what that is.

53:49

That's. A shot and not a ton of

53:51

Salt Lake City suffers. Yours are so I

53:53

you know and in our league so you

53:55

gotta look at it that way sometimes to

53:57

person. Mobile you guys have good

54:00

the the lane or team into the lane us

54:02

at a wide over breather trying to get Zulay

54:04

may play the hero turnover and is is too

54:06

hard with the speed in the guys who have

54:08

an early to get back in transition the change

54:11

of the numbers as bad. In. Also.

54:14

A warm enough more more.

54:17

As. I why my career down on

54:19

the three point attempt by i am

54:22

a man guy. The. About my

54:24

favorite subject and in school so

54:26

I definitely understand. New

54:29

Actually, you can have alluded to

54:31

this conversation around the brawn. Shooting.

54:35

Twelve, fourteen threes and again

54:37

was interesting. Because.

54:41

You. Attacking the basket, Is

54:44

actually. What? Makes. Bike.

54:46

And all sense work right? So

54:48

you could individually say you know

54:51

what? I like

54:53

as like this luke Luke event or

54:55

James said i'm an issue. That.

54:57

Amish insisting threes and an issue

54:59

Twenty degrees. right? Is.

55:02

That the best way for the team to

55:04

run an office now in some cases and

55:06

James in Houston. Thought.

55:08

He was rather yeah. Staff:

55:11

Run. It around run a ticket role

55:13

get dribble handoffs. some transit. For.

55:16

Them. That's. The best way for

55:18

them to run off it's they're taking fifteen

55:20

threes, So I do. I do think it's

55:22

case by case. I. Love if if

55:24

you're in your ears somehow still in your

55:26

prime it seems like if you hit the

55:29
