You guys are having a great week. 35 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: As promise, we're gonna hit a bunch of games from 36 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 2: the Olympic men's basketball tournaments today. We're gonna start with 37 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: tim USA getting a much more convincing victory against South 38 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 2: Sudan this time around, We're gonna break down the starting 39 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 2: lineup change as well as some other details from that game. 40 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 2: After that, I want to hit what I thought was 41 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: the most entertaining game from yesterday as Japan almost upsets 42 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 2: as France comes back to beat them in overtime on 43 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: the strength of a four point play at the end 44 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 2: of regulation, and then some big time playmaking from Victor 45 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 2: Webbin Yama in overtime. And then at the very end 46 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 2: of the show, we're going to briefly talk about Canada 47 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 2: versus Australia, some of the shot creation data coming from 48 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: Shay Gildas Alexander and then Josh Giddy having an impressive 49 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 2: performance in international play.

Probably gonna 58 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: hit a mail bag towards the tail end of this week, 59 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 2: all right, let's talk some basketball. So starting lineup shift 60 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: as Anthony Dave, as I've been begging for forever, comes 61 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: into the starting lineup for Joel Embiid, and then Jason 62 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 2: Tatum into the starting lineup for Drew Holliday. They immediately 63 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 2: got off to a much better defensive start. We're gonna 64 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 2: talk about the specifics of those substitutions here in just 65 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: a minute. The main story of this game, I thought 66 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 2: Wassa just brought a much better defensive effort. Sauthsu Dan, 67 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 2: I know a lot of people just because they don't 68 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: have the reputation in Foba that some of these other 69 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: countries that we've seen over the years have great success, 70 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 2: like Spain and Argentina. Right, these teams that we've just 71 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: seen over the years give USA bigger fights and stuff 72 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: like that. Like South Sudan may not have the history 73 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 2: of those teams, but what they do have is probably 74 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 2: the most athletic roster out of any of the Foba teams. 75 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: They've just got a bunch of guys who are really 76 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 2: mobile with really long wingspans that can cover ground, that 77 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: can pressure the ball. You see, how to continue even 78 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: in the convincing win for USA to force a lot 79 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: of turnovers and to catch guys not paying attention and 80 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: to close get a just a little bit faster than 81 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: guys are expecting, and just by fielding a team that 82 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 2: has not just a ton of athleticism, but that team's 83 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: athletic by NBA standards. That's a very very athletic team, 84 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: and that can be a little bit of an issue 85 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: to deal with, especially against USA's typical starting lineup. As 86 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,239 Speaker 2: far as the ad for Joel Embiid substitution. Going above 87 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: and beyond the simple fact that ad has just been 88 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 2: a better player than Joel Embiid in terms of this 89 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 2: Team USA context, it's also a really tough matchup for 90 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 2: Embiid against that type of foot speed. Again, one of 91 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 2: the big reasons why Sudan had a lot of success 92 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 2: against Team USA in their matchup in the exhibition games 93 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: is just getting up and down the floor and catching 94 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 2: guys just not keeping up in that pace. In addition 95 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 2: to that, Sudan likes to shoot a lot of threes, 96 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 2: and so it's important to close out and to make 97 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 2: rotations and all these very important details on defense that 98 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 2: specifically depend on foot speed and so just going with 99 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 2: Anthony Davis, even a guy like Jason Tate in for Drew, 100 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 2: even though Drew's probably a little quicker of foot, Tatum 101 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 2: just brings more length, meaning more ground coverage. And so 102 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 2: even though Tatum still had a little bit of a 103 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 2: struggle offensively in this game, and they're they're, the big 104 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 2: thing with Tatum is the jump shot is just is 105 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 2: still just way off the reservation. He got a wide 106 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 2: open catch and shoot three in the right corner to 107 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: start this game, literally hit the side of the backboard 108 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 2: and I pulled the numbers. Per Synergy, Tatum is zero 109 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 2: for eleven on jump shots with Team USA in the 110 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 2: six games that he's played in, including the exhibition. So 111 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 2: like he's just in, He's just in a really tough 112 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: space right now in terms of his confidence in his jumper. 113 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: And this is on the heels of a playoff run 114 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 2: where he took one hundred and eighty eight jump shots 115 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 2: for only one hundred and fifty one points. That's just 116 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 2: zero point eight points per shot. So Tatum is just 117 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: in this extended slump for whatever reason. To me, it 118 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 2: seems to be mostly mechanical. I talk a lot about 119 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 2: energy transfer like energy transfer is getting that power from 120 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 2: your feet up through your release. We think of jump 121 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 2: shooting as like a reach into the cookie jar type 122 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 2: of thing. In terms of your release, that's just one 123 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 2: small part of it. It's a It is a process 124 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 2: that begins with your feet and that extends. There's a 125 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: middle portion if it begins with your feet and it 126 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: ends with your release. In the middle there's the gather, 127 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 2: and in the gather, tatum has hitches in it, like 128 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 2: multiple hitches where you like the ball stops moving, which 129 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 2: you want to see when a player is catching and shooting, 130 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 2: you want to see the ball just kind of go 131 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 2: from the catch up to the release in a fluid motion, 132 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 2: because if that momentum stops, then any sort of so 133 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 2: for instance, like if you've got good legs on the 134 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 2: shot and you get your lift in your base, but 135 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: then you have a hitch in the middle, you lose 136 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 2: that power that you generate from the base and then 137 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: you're trying to make up for it at the end 138 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 2: by slinging it with your release, and that's just a 139 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 2: lot more difficult to maintain in terms of muscle memory. 140 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 2: If you get good footwork into a good base and 141 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 2: to good lift into a clean gather and have smooth 142 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: transfer of energy. Then by the end your hands are 143 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: basically just guiding the basketball. Any of you guys who 144 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 2: have shot at a high level, you guys know that 145 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: it's like one of those things where when you get 146 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 2: your lift, when you get your legs underneath you, the 147 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: SHOT's easy. The shot is the easiest part of it. 148 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: The hardest part is in a movement situation, getting your 149 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 2: base in an off the dribble situation, getting your base, 150 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 2: making sure you get a clean gather. That's where the 151 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 2: work of the shot is done. The release is the 152 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 2: easy part. And so right now Tatum is just in 153 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: a little bit of a little bit of a working 154 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 2: He's kind of working on his form and trying to 155 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 2: figure out what's going on. And the good news is 156 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: is they won the title despite the fact that he 157 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 2: was having those struggles, and so that should go a 158 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 2: long way towards some optimism for Celtics fans, because if 159 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 2: Tatum can get his jump shot back next season, then 160 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 2: the whole league could be in some serious trouble because 161 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 2: when Jason Tatum is an elite jump shooter, that's when 162 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 2: he enters into that like five to six area of 163 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 2: player rankings. When he's not shooting the ball, that's when 164 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 2: he dips down into that like eight, nine to ten 165 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 2: area and player rankings. It's kind of a very important 166 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 2: part of his game, especially with how often he settles 167 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 2: for jump shots on a couple of the guys. I 168 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 2: wanted to shout out, but again I want to just 169 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 2: point out before we get into individual shoutouts. This was 170 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 2: just a much better defensive game. They gave up one 171 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: hundred points to South Sudan last time, and one of 172 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 2: their weaknesses is they don't have a ton of ball handling. 173 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: They've got a lot of guys who can shoot. They 174 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 2: have a couple of core ball handlers, but their front 175 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 2: court guys don't handle the ball or see the floor 176 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 2: super well. And so if you actually defend, you can 177 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 2: get them to make mistakes, you can get them to 178 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 2: take tough shots, you can get them to miss. They 179 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 2: did a much much better job of that tonight. I 180 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 2: think I think they held them tonight to eighty six 181 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 2: points if I remember correctly something around that area. Much 182 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 2: much more impressive defensive effort for USA. Maam in a 183 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: bio eight for ten for eighteen points also had two 184 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 2: blocks some good switching to onto South Sudan's I thought 185 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 2: the two corner threes he hit in the first half 186 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 2: were massively important. Sasudan kind of went down to a 187 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: substantial deficit in the late first quarter against the Tosa 188 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 2: bench group, and the Tosa bench group was much better 189 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 2: than the starting group today in spite of this starting 190 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 2: lineup change, in large part because Steph Curry had a 191 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 2: really rough game and I thought Lebron, even though his 192 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 2: box score looked fine, I thought Lebron had one of 193 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 2: his rougher games with Tosa so far, mainly just in 194 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 2: the sense that he settled for a couple jump shots 195 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 2: that he missed, and he also had a lot of 196 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 2: turnovers that were live ball turnovers that led to fast 197 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 2: break opportunities for South Sudan. So like the starters between 198 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 2: Tatum obviously still being in an offensive funk and Lebron 199 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 2: and Steph just having a rough game, they weren't as impressive, 200 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 2: but that bench group just they just handled Sausudan today. 201 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 2: That Bam a KD frontline is as good as BAM 202 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 2: was Defensively, I want to shout out Kevin Durant as well. 203 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 2: Some timely shot making from from Anthony Edwards. I thought 204 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: Derek White had a big game. He had three steals 205 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 2: as well as three made three point shots. Continues to 206 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 2: just kind of be in the right spot and do 207 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 2: the right thing, make extra effort plays, really really impressive 208 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 2: stuff there. The Steph struggles to me, really like when 209 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 2: we saw this towards the tail end of last season, 210 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 2: teams that have a lot of speed and length, especially 211 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 2: on the perimeter, they just close in those gaps that 212 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 2: Steph is usually accustomed to working with. And again, like, 213 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: this is not just an athletic team. This is an 214 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 2: athletic team by NBA standards, and so I think that 215 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 2: kind of that kind of foretells some of the struggles 216 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 2: that Steph's gonna have in these matchups. We talked about 217 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 2: it last year at the end of the year. It's 218 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 2: like they play the Kings, I kind of feel like 219 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 2: Steph's gonna struggle, they play the Pelicans, I kind of 220 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 2: feel like Steph's gonna struggle. Teams that have like really 221 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 2: quick athletic guards with good length that can kind of 222 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 2: bother him on the perimeter are gonna give him some issues. 223 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 2: And that's just been the case. As far as the 224 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 2: Joel and beat thing goes, Like I talked about, it 225 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 2: was just a matchup. It's hard for him to cover 226 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 2: ground and transition in rotation against this team played against Serbia. 227 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 2: My guess is you'll play against Puerto Rico as well, 228 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 2: dott He handled it as well as you could. Obviously, 229 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 2: if you're a recent MVP of the NBA, you're gonna 230 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 2: be a little frustrated to be benched in a game 231 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: like this, but I thought it was the right decision overall. 232 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 2: So far through two pool play games for USAY really 233 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 2: impressed by them. Average margin of victory over twenty and 234 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: against these quality of teams, that's super impressive. I know 235 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 2: people don't think much of South Sudan, but they're very 236 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 2: good teams. Serbia has the best team or best player 237 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: in the world, and they should continue that dominance against 238 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 2: Puerto Rico. And like you know, I actually figured there'd 239 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 2: be more close games to this point, but Team USA 240 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 2: has held up really strong. The defense has been super impressive. 241 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 2: Even they're lesser defenders or guys that don't have a 242 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 2: reputation of being committed to defense have been defending really well. 243 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 2: Tmusa looking really good so far through two games. 244 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: Preparing for your upcoming fantasy football draft, do you wish 245 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: that you could wave a magic wand and somehow know 246 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: who exactly your league mates are going to take. Well. 247 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: With draft Intel from Fantasy pro you'll know exactly how 248 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: your league mates draft better than they do.

Everybody 253 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: hates a homer and every league has one of them. 254 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: But right now you can put all that Intel to 255 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: the test by bringing those patterns directly into a mock 256 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: draft and make your mock draft feel like the real thing. 257 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: Check out fantasypros dot com slash volume today to get 258 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: an edge over your league mates right now and forever. 259 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 2: Moving on to Japan versus France. So France makes a 260 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 2: bunch of huge plays late Pan keeps it close, and 261 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 2: Evan forty a hits a really tough step back three 262 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 2: at the top of the key got great separation. Arc 263 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 2: just came perfectly through the net tiede the game, Matthew 264 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 2: Strasl had a four point play on the left wing. 265 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 2: It was a call I didn't necessarily agree with because 266 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 2: the hand was kind of like on the hip. Yuki Kawamura, 267 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 2: the guard from Japan, did a wonderful job in this 268 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 2: particular game orchestrating offense, especially after Ruiya Chimura got ejected. 269 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: But I thought he got a tail end of a 270 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 2: really tough call there on that left wing. Again, by 271 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 2: the book, technically hand on the hip. It's like by 272 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 2: the book, it's a foul, but there's a huge difference 273 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 2: between having the hand on the hip and pushing on 274 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 2: the hip, and like that's one of those like incidental 275 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 2: contact things that I think needs to be let go, 276 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 2: especially in such a big moment. And again, like if 277 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 2: France beats you because he makes that shot and then 278 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 2: you foul and he makes one out of two free 279 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 2: throws and then he goes down to the other end 280 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 2: and they hit another three and they win. Fine, tip 281 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 2: the cat, congrats to France, they beat you. That's really 282 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 2: tough to be at four points like that in that 283 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 2: situation and to lose on a call like that. Was 284 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 2: was not a fan, but Victor wembin Yama took over 285 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 2: in overtime. There's a little post up on the right block. 286 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 2: I can't remember exactly who was guarding him, but they 287 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 2: tried to front the post. And when they fronted the post, 288 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 2: Wemby just immediately spun off of it. Passes perfect to 289 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 2: the high point. On the catch, he at his back, 290 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 2: turned the basket, he spun again and went right up 291 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 2: and laid it up and the foul A super super 292 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 2: coordinated play, really really impressive stuff, really really impressive stuff 293 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 2: there from Victor webbin Yama. And then he missed the 294 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 2: three on the right wing, but an offensive rebound he 295 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 2: got another clean look from the top of the key 296 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 2: knocked it down big time, big time play from Victor 297 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: webbin Yama. The guard play from France is really where 298 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 2: the issue is. It's like when you look at Canada 299 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 2: and France in particular, Canada has this incredible perimeter core, 300 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 2: but their front line is just too small to really 301 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 2: contend with some of the bigger front lines here in FIBA, 302 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 2: and then you go and you look at France and 303 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 2: they have this incredible front line. I mean even gersha 304 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 2: Onbusel had an incredible game in this one hit a 305 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 2: bunch of tough mid range jump shots. Was competing, was 306 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 2: flying around, and they have that front court presence, but 307 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 2: they like Evan forty a and Frank Millikina, it's just 308 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 2: it's it's not enough in terms of shot creation. Matthew 309 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 2: Streisill had a little stretch there in the second half 310 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 2: where he was spamming ball screens with Gobert and coming 311 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 2: off clean on the right wing and getting some decent looks, 312 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: and he hit a couple of pull up jump shots there. 313 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 2: But they just struggle in terms of that that guard play. 314 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 2: Victor women Yama. One of the most impressive things that 315 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 2: I noticed about France in the two games is they're 316 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 2: running a lot of like kind of weird, funky like 317 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 2: big man ball screens. Well where they will have like 318 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 2: Wemby at the elbow, like imagine like the left elbow, 319 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 2: so like where the key the court, the free throw 320 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: line extended kind of out to where the edge of 321 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: the key is and and he'll catch there and then 322 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 2: go Beart will come out of a triple like Wenby'll 323 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 2: be in a triple threat and go Beart will come 324 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 2: and set a screen. But what he'll do is he'll 325 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 2: deliberately screen the backside of the defender. And what they're 326 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 2: trying to do there is most teams are gonna switch 327 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 2: a four or five pick and roll. What that means 328 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: is the power forward in the center in a two 329 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 2: man game together. The reason why they're gonna switch that 330 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 2: is because likely those two defenders are similar in size, 331 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 2: and if those two defenders are similar in size, rather 332 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 2: than allowing Wemby to come off clean as the guys 333 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 2: in trail position, in which case, now Wenby's just going 334 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 2: to go right to the rim. If you just switch it, 335 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 2: it effectively like shuts the action down right. But this 336 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 2: is where high low basketball comes into play. High low 337 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 2: basketball is when you have one of your big guys 338 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 2: operating around the foul line while another one of your 339 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 2: big guys is underneath the basket trying to obtain good 340 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 2: post position because that center can throw good over the 341 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 2: top passes from that foul line area. So what they 342 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 2: were doing, which I thought was really smart, and they 343 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 2: did this with Gobert, but they also did it with 344 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 2: you Bucelet and some of their other bench forwards as well. 345 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 2: But they would have Wenby start with the ball and 346 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 2: as Gobert would screen. He would deliberately screen the backside 347 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 2: of the defender. And the reason why that's important is 348 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 2: then as Wemby comes off into the switch, when he 349 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 2: comes off into switch, the screeners defender is now on 350 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 2: Wemby squared up, but Gobar now has inside position. He 351 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,679 Speaker 2: has inside position because he's screened that backside. Then he 352 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 2: can quick turn and seal and Wemby can throw that 353 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 2: over the top pass and there's an automatic angle kind 354 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 2: of bank kind of baked into the set because of 355 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 2: the screening angle you take on the backside. There. They 356 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 2: got a bunch of good stuff out of that. I 357 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 2: thought Wenby passed out of it extremely well, and so 358 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 2: far through two Olympic Games, Victor Wemban Yama one point 359 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 2: one seven points per shot on jump shots, which is 360 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 2: really impressive, So great start to the Olympics for Wemby. 361 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 2: On the Japan side of things, really was impressed by 362 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 2: the overall ball in player movement, some beautiful stuff in 363 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 2: five out, really smart cutting guys like I cut a 364 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 2: couple examples in my film session today and put them 365 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 2: on my Twitter feed at Underscore JSNLT. But remember when 366 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 2: I talked about in the show on Monday, the concept 367 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,360 Speaker 2: of like off ball cutting specifically out of the wing, 368 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 2: and how that can when you're running a ball screen 369 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 2: on one side, how a cut on the weak side 370 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 2: can cause confusion for off ball defenders that are trying 371 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 2: to sink into the paint and it's hard to track 372 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 2: man and ball in those situations. They got good looks 373 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 2: out of that. Their guards were quick to come off 374 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 2: of multiple actions. There was ball reversal, the ball was 375 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: popping around. They'd have ruy As like their kind of 376 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 2: go to like on an Island score when they needed him. 377 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 2: But everything else was really smart five out ball in 378 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 2: player movement, and that blender did a lot of damage 379 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 2: to a French team that's got really good defenders between 380 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 2: Frank Nilikina and Nick Batoum and Victor Webbin Yama and 381 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert, this is a very long and athletic defensive 382 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 2: team that Japan was getting a lot of really good 383 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 2: shots against. And it's just a wonderful example of the 384 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 2: concepts that I talked about a lot on the show, 385 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 2: in the sense that you can generate offense with ball 386 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 2: and player movement and good schematic approach to help bolster, 387 00:18:54,840 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 2: personnel limitations, Ruby hutsch Mura, really impressive offensive game, the 388 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 2: face up stuff, the footwork in the post he had. 389 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 2: He was going right around good defenders and getting into 390 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 2: the lane and finishing in traffic. The jump shot looks great, 391 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 2: he's elevating, he's getting great rotation on it, he's knocking 392 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 2: it down. The one thing and I put a little 393 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 2: thread of about five clips together you can find on 394 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 2: my twitter feed. But Ruey is really struggling on defense 395 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 2: with Japan, specifically off the ball tracking shooters. And remember 396 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 2: this was the specific issue that he ran into in 397 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 2: the playoffs against Denver when he was tracking Michael Porter Junior. 398 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 2: He had a couple of massive mistakes on that and 399 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 2: including one in Game five that might have cost them 400 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 2: the game where in a semi transition said he just 401 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 2: wasn't paying attention and he lost Michael Porter Junior for 402 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 2: three huge moment. The Lakers had a chance to send 403 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 2: that thing back to the to LA for Game six, 404 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 2: and Rui's just attention to detail in those situations just 405 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 2: has to get better. It's tracking through screens, it's the 406 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 2: relaxation as as soon as his man gets up gives 407 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 2: up the ball. He gave up two threes to Evan 408 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 2: Fournier where he got switched on to Fournier. But then 409 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 2: as soon when Fournier gave up the basketball, Fournier just 410 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 2: cut to a different spot on the three point line 411 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 2: and Ruy wasn't paying attention and Fourtier got clean looks 412 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 2: from three and so like I like, in order for 413 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 2: Ruey to be the type of player that the Lakers 414 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 2: need him to be, those are things that he has 415 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 2: to sharpen up. Shout out to Ukava Moura the quickness 416 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 2: and pull up shooting he showed, especially to try to 417 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 2: close out that game after Ruy Hachimura got eliminated or 418 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 2: excuse me ejected on that second on sportsman like foul 419 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 2: and Rudy Gobert. I had so much fun watching him 420 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 2: in this game. He was an absolute warrior, kept his 421 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 2: team in it. I think he had like twenty eight 422 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 2: twenty nine points, super super fun game. And then one 423 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 2: last guy I wanted to shout out, Hugh want to 424 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,239 Speaker 2: not be I'm assuming related to Utah want Namby, but 425 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 2: he had two huge blocks, including this one in regulation 426 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 2: where he came down from the left wing when Rudy 427 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 2: Gobert had a deep catch and Rudy Gobert loaded up 428 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 2: for his like two hand slam and he comes flying 429 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 2: in and just barely gets a piece of it at 430 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 2: the end. Ends up being a huge play that gave 431 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 2: Japan a really good chance to win this game. And 432 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 2: it's such a great example of what I talked about 433 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 2: after Kevin Durank got dunked on by Anthony Edwards, which is, guys, 434 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 2: getting dunked on is a sign of being a great defender. 435 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 2: That's something that you have to that's a commitment that 436 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 2: you have to make. You have to be willing to 437 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 2: risk what could happen if you get dunked on in 438 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 2: order to bring that next level of rimp protection at 439 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 2: another big week side block in the overtime period as well. 440 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 2: But alast Victor webbin Yama made the two big plays 441 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 2: in ot and they got out of there. All right, 442 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 2: Let's move on to Canada Australia real quick before we 443 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 2: get out of here. So Shaka as Alexander picked up 444 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 2: two quick early thousand. There's only five thousand foeba, so 445 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 2: he had to sit for a little bit. That allowed 446 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 2: Australia to take a little bit of an early advantage, 447 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 2: but in the early fourth quarter Canada ends up pulling away. 448 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks made a couple of plays, a little triple 449 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 2: threat ball screen out of the right corner where I 450 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 2: believe I can't remember who it was, the big man 451 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 2: for for Canon, I'm blinking on his name now, but 452 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 2: he slipped the ball screen. Dylan hit him perfect, he 453 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 2: got a layup, and then he hit a little mid 454 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 2: range jump shot. And then right after that, Jamal Murray 455 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 2: made a couple of plays and ICEO will close out 456 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 2: attack to get RJ. Barrett a wide open three in 457 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 2: the corner and then kind of like one of those 458 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 2: classic Jamal Murray ISO pull up jump shots around the 459 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 2: foul line. All of a sudden, like that, Canada was 460 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 2: up by eleven and the game was over. I wanted 461 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 2: to talk a little bit about the shot creation data 462 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 2: for Shay, Jamal and then Josh Gitty. So, Shay has 463 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 2: been brilliant so far in Olympics play. He's run twenty 464 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 2: five ISOs for thirty six points including passes. That's one 465 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 2: point four to four points per possession. And he's personally 466 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 2: on his own shot attempts out of ISO shooting seven 467 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 2: for twelve, So Shay's locked in looks fantastic forty one 468 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 2: total ISOs, post ups and ball screens in Olympic play 469 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 2: for fifty six points. That's one point three seven points 470 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 2: per possession. Really impressive stuff from Shay. Jamal Murray made 471 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 2: some big plays in this particular game, like we talked 472 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 2: about earlier, but shooting just two for ten on jump 473 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 2: shots so far in Olympic play, and I'm wondering if 474 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 2: he's still a little banged up. I was, I was 475 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 2: talking to some of my Nuggets guys, and the word 476 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 2: on him is that he's just not in shape. And 477 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 2: if that's the thing, if Jamal's just not in shape, 478 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 2: that's kind of disappointing because that's becoming kind of a 479 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 2: reputation for him, that he's showing up into season and 480 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 2: playing his way into shape. And like one of the 481 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 2: things is like that sort of thing can lead to 482 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 2: injuries when you're trying to play your way into shape, 483 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 2: when you're playing with more weight, when you're playing super 484 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 2: intense games, when your body's not prepared for it. So 485 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 2: that obviously was a little bit concerning Josh Giddy, though 486 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 2: really impressive so far for Australia thirty four pick and rolls, 487 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 2: ISOs and post ups for thirty nine points. That's one 488 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 2: point one point five points per possession. He's big, he's 489 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 2: handling the basketball while he's really good at protecting the basketball, 490 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 2: really good with like behind the back tribbles and then 491 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 2: using his shoulders to protect. He can make all the 492 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 2: reads deadly with his floater. He's five for seven so 493 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 2: far in the Olympics on floaters. That's seventy one percent. 494 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 2: And then what he'll do a lot of times in 495 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 2: switches when he sees a small guard in front of him, 496 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 2: there was a hard dribble move like into their chest 497 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 2: and then just gather right around ten feet and rise 498 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 2: up over the top of them and go to his 499 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 2: little floater. Canada was doing some switching against him in 500 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 2: this game, and he ended up beating it with a 501 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 2: step back three as well as a driving floater against 502 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 2: Jamal Murray. Really impressive shot making from Josh Giddy. I'm 503 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 2: curious to see how it translates to the NBA level 504 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,959 Speaker 2: in a bigger role with Chicago next year. Last thing 505 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 2: before we get out of here, is Canada a threat. 506 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 2: Like I mentioned earlier as good as they are on 507 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 2: the perimeter, they're just not big enough on the inside. 508 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 2: One of the specific changes with FIBA that's been a 509 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 2: challenge for USA is the defensive three second rule and 510 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 2: the idea that you can park a center underneath the 511 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 2: basket and kind of gum things up and force them 512 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 2: to rely on perimeter jump shooting, where USA it can 513 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 2: go cold sometimes, Although I think Kevin Durant fixes that problem. 514 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 2: With that being the case, Canada just doesn't have the 515 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 2: interior size even if they do part guys under the 516 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 2: basket to bother the bigger American athletes as they're going downhill, 517 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 2: and so as good as Canada is on the perimeter, 518 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 2: I just don't think they're big enough underneath the basket 519 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 2: to make any sort of real problem for USA. All right, guys, 520 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 2: that is all I have for today. We're going a 521 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 2: little quick because I'm just about to hop on a 522 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 2: call with Colin Cowhard and we're going to hit a 523 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 2: bunch of Team USA topics, So keep an eye on 524 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 2: the Colin Cowhard podcast feed to see that in the 525 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 2: coming days. And then we're not going to cover Puerto 526 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 2: Rico versus USA this weekend, will in all likelihood will 527 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 2: be doing a mail bag on Friday, in addition to 528 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 2: probably covering one or two more FEVA games in that show. 529 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 2: As always, I appreciate you guys for supporting the show, 530 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 2: and I'll see you guys then the volume. What's up guys? 531 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 2: As always, I appreciate you for listening to and supporting 532 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 2: OOPS tonight. It would actually be really helpful for us 533 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,239 Speaker 2: if you guys would take a second and leave a 534 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 2: rating and a review. As always, I appreciate you guys 535 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 2: supporting us, but if you could take a minute to 536 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 2: do that, I'd really appreciate it.
