You know, I 66 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 5: thought the New York Orlando game was physical and competitive, 67 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 5: and then you know the the Oklahoma San Antonio game 68 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 5: was was very very interesting. 69 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 3: So, uh, this is a great matchup tonight. 70 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 5: The way this happens, where this works is, you know, 71 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 5: from a logistics standpoint. 72 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 4: If if we choose we meeting, the. 73 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 5: Coaching staff choose not to watch it live in real time. 74 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 3: So in other words, we have. 75 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 5: We have interns that break down the games, do what 76 00:03:54,880 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 5: we call cutting the games, and so that means we 77 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 5: will get the game emailed to us in a format 78 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 5: where you can download it pretty quickly and you can 79 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 5: watch the game start to finish with all the dead. 80 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 3: Time taken out. 81 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 5: So you know, that means you can watch a toll 82 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 5: in me a game and you know, about an hour, 83 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 5: and if. 84 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 3: You skim through it, you can watch it. 85 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 4: And you know, pretty and significantly less amount of time. 86 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 5: The advantage to that is is obvious. You don't have 87 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,679 Speaker 5: the lags and the commercials, et cetera. 88 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean this is you know, I'm gonna 89 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 4: I'll be watching this tonight. 90 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 3: This is gonna be. 91 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 4: It's gonna be a heck of a game, I you know, and. 92 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 5: You know New York I presumably will stay over and 93 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 5: travel tomorrow, and. 94 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 4: You know we'll catch them coming off the finals and 95 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 4: and uh, you know we'll have to take advantage of 96 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 4: the opportunity. 97 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 2: First places next matchup of this season. Coach, I want 98 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: to expand a little bit more on that kind of 99 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: curious about, you know, from a preparation standpoint over the 100 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: course of the season, like for a back to back, 101 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 2: for example, if you're playing on a Friday and then 102 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 2: again on a Saturday, how much of that Saturday opponent. 103 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: Are you able to watch do you get just do 104 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 2: you cram I guess do you eliminate the Friday film 105 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 2: when you wake up Saturday morning? Do you watch you know, 106 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 2: their last couple of games? Do you watch specifically? You 107 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: know certain cutups. As you mentioned, how do you treat 108 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 2: maybe the second night of a back to back from 109 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 2: a film watching standpoint over the course of the season. 110 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 5: Uh, really, it's the Preppers Reached game. You know, each 111 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 5: member of the coaching staff will have will be responsible 112 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 5: for a scout, so you know, one of our coaches 113 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 5: has New York and in this case, you know, we 114 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 5: have a couple of days to preps. So today we'll 115 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 5: we'll focus very much on ourselves and things that we 116 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:02,239 Speaker 5: need to do better as a team the next opponent notwithstanding, 117 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 5: and then. 118 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: You know tomorrow. 119 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 5: Will be more of a day gear toward preparation for 120 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 5: the Knicks game. So that's kind of how it works. 121 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 5: So the when you have a back to back, like 122 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 5: you know, for example, we play, we play on a 123 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 5: Thursday somewhere, and then we play on a Friday somewhere, 124 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 5: whether it's whether the Friday game is home or on 125 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 5: the road. Oftentimes, if the other team is playing back 126 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 5: to back as well. We will get their game from 127 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 5: the previous night before we take off on the plane 128 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 5: after the game, so you know they'll cut, they'll cut 129 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 5: that game very quickly. 130 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 4: Et cetera. 131 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 5: And so then you know you have the game that 132 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 5: you played that night to look at, and then you 133 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 5: also have the the the opponent's last game, and then 134 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 5: uh as you prepare you if you've played them already 135 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 5: this season, you certainly will look at the last game 136 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 5: that you play against them, and you know, look for 137 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 5: things to to do, uh to do better obviously, or 138 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 5: to uh to do differently. 139 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 6: Rick, looking at some of the numbers you have had 140 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 6: this season offensively, I know you've talked about it at length, 141 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 6: you know, not necessarily being who you are typically when 142 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 6: you have Halliburton out there, how much easier he makes 143 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 6: things for you, guys. But in this Wizard's game other 144 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 6: games throughout the season, will you shoot it that poorly? 145 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: How do you grade the results? 146 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 6: I know it's results based league and you want to 147 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 6: make shots, but do you go back through it and 148 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 6: say this is a good shot, this is a batch? 149 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 6: How do you you know, view that part of it 150 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 6: when you know there's more to it than just making 151 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 6: the missing shots. 152 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, we have different metrics you know too. You know, 153 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 5: there's an expected shot production metric that's pretty interesting and 154 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 5: and I believe it has some real accuracy elements to it. 155 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 5: We we did not score well on that in the 156 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 5: Wizards game. You know, we just didn't play well, and 157 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 5: we didn't generate generate enough great shots and and we 158 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 5: didn't defend well enough, and so. 159 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 4: You know, it was it was a it was a 160 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 4: rough afternoon, not fun. 161 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 5: Give them credit, you know, they they came out and 162 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 5: uh and and executed very well, and they played with 163 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 5: a lot more force. 164 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: Pays.

I believe you also referenced Luca also possesses 173 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 2: some of that same ability and I was kind of 174 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 2: curious if you could expand on that the most important 175 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 2: things in the game of basketball happen on the ground. 176 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 5: Well, you know, it's it's a it's a it's a 177 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 5: beautiful game. And footwork has so much to do with 178 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 5: everything happening in the game of NBA basketball. You're you're 179 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 5: positioning defensively is absolutely critical if you if you allow 180 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 5: angles to the opponent that has the ball you're guarding individually, 181 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,599 Speaker 5: I mean, NBA players devour angles, So there's there's a 182 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 5: great importance in remaining square. And so that's you know, 183 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 5: certainly one thing on the on the defensive side, and 184 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 5: then offensively. You know, so much of leverage in an 185 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 5: NBA game comes from your connection to the ground. That 186 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 5: that has a lot to do with how much force 187 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 5: you can play with when you when you go into 188 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,599 Speaker 5: a situation where you're driving the ball and there's contact, 189 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 5: if you've already left the ground and somebody goes vertical, 190 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 5: you're not gonna have You're not gonna have the same 191 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 5: amount of ability to finish through through legal contact, you know, 192 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 5: vertical contact, those kinds of things, and then you know, 193 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 5: it's just it's kind of an odd statement, I understand 194 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 5: the question. But those two players in particularly do not 195 00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 5: play high flying games. But their level of their level 196 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 5: of productivity is you know, at the absolute peak of 197 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 5: the entire league because of what they were able to do, uh, 198 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 5: carving out space, seeing things, putting a defense in a bind, 199 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 5: and being able to make a late pass to somebody 200 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 5: for a wide open shot or a layup, as we. 201 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 3: See with Jochic so many times. And so. 202 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 5: And you look at you know, you look at the 203 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 5: history of the game and some of the other great players. 204 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 5: You know, Magic Johnson was not a high flyer. He 205 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 5: was fast, and he was a lot quicker than than 206 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 5: people gave him credit for at his at his height, 207 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 5: but his size sort of belied the fact that he 208 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 5: was that quick. Bird was very quick too, and faster 209 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 5: than people thought. But both both of those players had 210 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 5: tremendous footwork and their ability to position themselves in a 211 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 5: position of strength, you know, to have a chance to 212 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 5: shoot the ball in the one hand. But they also 213 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 5: you know, by by by using footwork and using part 214 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 5: of their body as a second set of eyes, may 215 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 5: made them both you know, legal lethal passers as well. 216 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 5: And so I mean, those are those are some examples, 217 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 5: but it's a it's it's very much a technique and 218 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 5: and footwork game, and the players that have the best strength, 219 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 5: the best leverage, and the best avility ability to create 220 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 5: an advantage for themselves and and their teammates are certainly 221 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 5: the most valuable. 222 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 6: Last one to let you go, Rick, and again we 223 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 6: have recall all joining us from the Pacers as the 224 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 6: head coach of the NBA franchise in our city.
