28
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: guys are having an incredible week so far. Well, yet

29
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: another completely bizarre game to finish a completely bizarre series,

30
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: as the New York Knicks are advancing to the second

31
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: round to take on the Indiana Pacers, who closed the

32
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: deal against the Milwaukee Bucks earlier. Tonight, we're gonna be

33
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 1: breaking down both of those series from the perspective of

34
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: both teams and looking forward for all four of those

35
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: teams as we had into the second round and also

36
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: into an off season full of question marks for both

37
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: the Sixers and the Bucks. You guys know the joke

43
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: last but not least, keep dropping mailbag questions in those

Speaker 1: YouTube comments so we can keep hitting mailbags throughout the

45
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: rest of the season. So that was probably the most

46
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: bizarre game of the series in terms of the entirety

47
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: of the game. Obviously we've had some crazier finishes, although

48
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: that was a pretty crazy finish in and of itself.

49
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: But this game, man like, we come out the gates

50
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: and it's classic Knicks, right. They just look tougher. They

51
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: look like the team that's playing harder, moving quicker to

52
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: the ball. They're shooting more confidently, brunts and hitting shots.

53
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: Devincenzo's hitting shots out the gate. They're forcing turnovers, they're

54
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: getting out in transition. They go up by twenty points early, right,

55
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: and it looks like, okay, here we go, Nick are

56
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: the better team. They're gonna run away with this one. Nope,

57
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: campaign comes in makes a couple of hustle plays, hits

58
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: a couple of shots. All of a sudden, there's some

59
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: energy in the arena. Buddy healed, gets going. We get

60
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: a really really productive stretch from Joel Embiid off of

61
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: the left block where he's handling double teams well and

62
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: getting good, quick, decisive reads out that are getting swung

63
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: around to the corner for Buddy to hit shots, and

64
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it the game's tied, and all

65
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the Sixers take a little bit of

66
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: a lead and we go into halftime and the Sixers

67
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: are up by three, and it's like fifty four to

68
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: fifty one in a game where both teams seemed like

69
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: completely and totally shook at different parts in the game.

70
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: Early in the game, the Sixers look completely caught off guard.

71
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: They were on their heels. They look dead to right.

72
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: In that second quarter run, the Knicks looked like they

73
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: were dead to right. So they looked like they couldn't score.

74
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: They looked like they couldn't get a stop. They were

75
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: getting outrano transition. It was getting really ugly. Then we

76
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: had into this third quarter stretch. Joel inbe comes out

77
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: hits two threes immediately. He kind of figures out that

78
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: Isaiah Hartenstein can't stop his left shoulder hook, and the

79
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: at that point in the game, the Knicks stopped doubling

80
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: him because they had been burned a few times by

81
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: threes on the weak side. Although I thought it was

82
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: interesting because Buddy Hill wasn't even in the game at

83
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: that point while they were letting and be go to work.

84
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: I think the Sixers went up by as much as

85
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: seven in the middle of the third quarter if I

86
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: remember correctly, and then honestly, what I thought was the

87
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: biggest change in the game in terms of like shifting

88
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: things back, because basically for the second half of the

89
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: first half as well as like starting with that end

90
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: of the first quarter, stretching into that second quarter, run

91
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: into the first stretch of the third quarter, the Sixers

92
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: were like a runaway freight train and it felt like

93
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: nobody could stop them, right and then Mitchell Robinson came in,

94
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: and Mitchell Robinson, as we've talked about a bunch over

95
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: the course of this series, is basically the only guy

96
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: on the team that can credibly defend Joel Embiid, and

97
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: we talked about some of the specifics involving his size

98
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: and Mitch has always been really good at bothering jump shots.

99
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: This has been something I've been kind of pointing out

100
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: over the course of the season in some of our

101
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: film sessions. He gives great effort, He gives great contests.

102
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: He has a great concept of timing when it comes

103
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: to jump shot release right, so he could kind of

104
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: close the gap on Himbiid to take away the jumper

105
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: while also meeting him in spots and taking contact. He

106
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: slowed down Embiid, and when he slowed down Embiid, it

107
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: allowed the Knicks to get stops and to get out

108
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: going the other way. And then a couple of timely

109
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: offensive contributions. Oji Annobi had some contributions. Josh Hart was

110
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: one of the guys during the sixers run that just

111
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: seemed like, hell no, we are not going to lose

112
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: control of this game. You could just feel Josh Hart

113
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: fighting and scratching and clawing for everything during that stretch.

114
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: I thought Duce McBride had a nice hit a several

115
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: big shots, but hit a massive pull up three in

116
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: the early fourth quarter, just kind of lingered around right

117
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: and kind of stayed in the game. And then Brunson

118
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: comes in the fourth quarter and just goes classic vintage

119
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson. All of a sudden, the Nicks build a

120
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: little bit of a lead, but of course, just like

121
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: everything else in this series, that's not safe. The Sixers

122
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: go on another improbable late game run, more heroics from

123
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: Tyrese Maxis. He gets a driving and one on a

124
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: goaltend to tie the game. All of a sudden, we're tied,

125
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: right But the interesting basketball dynamic at the end of

126
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 1: the game. Nick Nurse got sick of watching Jalen Brunson

127
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: go to work, and so he just started double teaming it.

128
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: And on that final possession there was a double team.

129
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: Brunson gets rid of the ball, quick gets another DHO

130
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: and just drags both defenders as far off to the

131
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: left as he possibly can. And again him getting that

132
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: head of steam and dragging those defenders a good solid

133
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty feet off to the left. That pulled both

134
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: defenders with them and cleared a giant window there for

135
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: Josh Hart at the top of the key, and he

136
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: had all damn day to stare that shot down, and

137
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: he sunk it, and the Knicks got to stop, and

138
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: then finally they made their free throws. And making their

139
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: free throws was enough to close the deal. Honestly, really

140
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: really impressive resilience from that Knicks team, and we all

141
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: know that they're an exceptionally tough team. That's why Knicks

142
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: fans love this particular group so much, and honestly, like

143
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: we knew that going into the series. One of the

144
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: things I talked about in this series is that the

145
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: Sixers have like better half court shot creation, but the

146
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: Knicks are a tougher team. And like early on in

147
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: the series, I actually picked the Sixers to win because

148
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: I thought the Sixers half court shot creation would be

149
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: enough to make up that gap. But nope, the toughness

150
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: one time and time again. They had twenty more offensive

151
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: rebounds tonight, just unbelievable resilience and that was more than

152
00:07:55,200 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: enough to make up for the maxi MB two man game. Again, Like,

153
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: I can't say enough about Mitchell Robinson in that third

154
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: quarter run. I'm sure you guys felt that as Knicks fans,

155
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: it felt like it was going off the rails. It

156
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: felt like it was getting ugly, and Mitchell Robinson came in,

157
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: slowed him beat down and kind of like got that

158
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: momentum wave back under control, which allowed some of the more,

159
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: you know, the consistent knicks that we expect to make plays,

160
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: to start making plays and kind of regain control of

161
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: the game. Jalen Brunson in the last four games, Remember

162
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 1: the first two games, how the Sixers looked like they

163
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: pretty much had him locked up. In the last four games,

164
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: Brunston goes thirty nine, forty seven, forty and forty one.

165
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: That is completely absurd. What did that cut? What does

166
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: that average out to forty two points per game over

167
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: the course of the last four games of the series.

168
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: Just ridiculous. And again, like people are gonna talk about efficiency,

169
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: but you can't really look too much into that. The

170
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: don't really have reliable shot creation outside of him, and

171
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: so so much depends on Jalen Brunson just putting up shots. Again,

172
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: like people used to say the same thing about Alan

173
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: Iverson on the Philadelphia seventy six ers, and it's like,

174
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: if you look at the way those teams are constructed,

175
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: they're built around defense and hustle, and you need this

176
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: singular person to kind of eat up usage at the

177
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: expense of his efficiency, and he's done an amazing job

178
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: of that for this next team after Julius Randall went down.

179
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: I can't say enough about Jalen Brunson, just clutch shot

180
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: after clutch shot, clutch free throws at the end of

181
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: the game, just an unbelievable performance. Looking forward at the

182
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: next round, I actually really like the Pacers matchup. Ironically,

183
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: had the Sixers somehow found a way to win this series,

184
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: I would have picked the Pacers over the Sixers. They

185
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: just have a couple of very specific advantages between just

186
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: their speed and their ability to get up and down

187
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: the floor in transition, which is something the Sixers can

188
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: struggle with. Also, just Miles Turner as a pick and

189
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: pop big and some of the problems that can cause

190
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: for a team that wants to keep him beat around

191
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: the rim. Like all these different things, but the Pacers

192
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: are a really good matchup for the Knicks. The Knicks

193
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: have the speed at guard to kind of handle their

194
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: up and down pace of play. They are a very

195
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: physically imposing team, and the Pacers are a little bit

196
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: on the thin and slight side. And the most importantly,

197
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: the Pacers have been a bad defensive rebounding team all season.

198
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: They did an okay job against the Milwaukee Bucks. I

199
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: think they had a seventy three percent defensive rebound percentage,

200
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: which is not bad, but for the majority of the

201
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: regular season, they were like atrociously bad before the Siakam

202
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: trade and still bottom ten after the Siacame trade. So

203
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: they're not a good defensive rebounding team. And so we're

204
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: gonna work. I have a tomorrow morning, I'm gonna start

205
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: prepping on this series, and we'll have a full series

206
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: preview with film and all the usual stuff. But just

207
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: like my initial impressions on a Knicks Pacer series, I

208
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: lean heavily towards the Knicks. I think it's just a

209
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: bad matchup for the Pacers. I think they're gonna be

210
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: able to do a lot. I think they're gonna be

211
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: able to do a lot to the to the Pacers,

212
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: especially on the defensive end of the floor, just crashing

213
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: that offensive glass and just being the physically imposing team

214
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: that they are. Again, keep an eye on the feeds

215
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: over the course the next couple of days, we'll have

216
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: a breakdown on the Sixers front. Obviously feels a little

217
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: bit like a lost season, right Joel Embiid was playing

218
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: hurt in that series. I mean, there's a lot to

219
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: talk about with Embiid in terms of like what he

220
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: was and wasn't able to do in this series. There's

221
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: a certain amount of like, yeah, he's hurt, and that's

222
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: gonna affect his ability to get up and down the

223
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: floor and transition, his ability to impact the game defensively,

224
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: his ability to really put his head down and get

225
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: close to the rim. But there also were like these

226
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: wild oscillations back and forth between how comfortable he was

227
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: creating shots and how comfortable he and how when he

228
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: wasn't right, Like I mean, just look at tonight, he

229
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: just was eating them alive off of that left block,

230
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: getting to that little left shoulder hook and making kickout passes.

231
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: And then in Game five he was just like incapable

232
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: of that stuff. And so there's still some things that

233
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: I think Embiid's gonna have to get better at in

234
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: the long run. But the bottom line is is Embiid

235
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: Maxie is a great foundation. You're not gonna do a

236
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: lot better than those two. Right looking around the league,

237
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: I thought MAXI I mean, obviously tonight he had a

238
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: rough shooting ninety six for eighteen from the field, one

239
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: for six from three, but big plays late still over

240
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: the course of the series. I thought he was their

241
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: most reliable shot creator. He was the guy that basically

242
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: extended the series in Game five. And most importantly, if

243
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: you look at if you look at the payroll for

244
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: the Sixers, things are wide open. They pretty much clean

245
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: books moving forward, plenty of draft compensation to offer. One

246
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: of the things that I look at, you know, I

247
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: thought d Anthony Melton. Obviously he was coming back from

248
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: an injury, so he's basically unavailable. But like that was

249
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: the one piece that they didn't really have in the

250
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: sense that, like Nick Watoum and Kelly Ubre, I thought

251
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: he did a good job on the bracket on Brunson

252
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: in the sense that, like their length had the ability

253
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: to bother Brunson from behind, and there was a lot

254
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: of asset with that in the early part of the series.

255
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: But one of the things they struggled with throughout the

256
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: series was screen navigation to actually beat Brunson to the

257
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: spot and flatten out his driving angles. And like, one

258
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: of the things you need for something like that is

259
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: a lower center of gravity, shorter, stockier, super laterally quick

260
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: type of athlete. That type of athlete is the kind

261
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: of guy that can beat people over the top of screens,

262
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: flatten out some of that driving angle and make it

263
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: so that and make it so that Brunson's not operating

264
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: with the defender on his backside the entire game. Right,

265
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: I want to credit Batoum and Uber. I thought they

266
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: did a good job in this series. For the most part.

267
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 1: They limited Brunson in his efficiency, put him into some

268
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: bad shooting nights. I thought. I thought that Nick Batum

269
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: in particular, played amazing defense on Jalen Brunson down the

270
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: stretch of Game five. He was the one that got

271
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: He timed that Brunson pulled up three on the right

272
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 1: wing and caused him to turn it over because he

273
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: just kind of anticipated where that pull up angle was

274
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: and close the gap really quick. I want to credit

275
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: those guys. They did a good job. But length on

276
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: the perimeter is a very different type of perimeter defender

277
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: than an actual guard defender, and so I think that's

278
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: something that they'll have to look into in general, just

279
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: surrounding those two with more reliable, starting caliber players right

280
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: like Tobias Harris two inconsistent Kelly Ubray a lot of

281
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: big plays in this series, but I thought he went

282
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: off script offensively and was a little bit of a

283
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: He was just a little bit, you know, unpredictable in

284
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: terms of whether or not he was going to kind

285
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: of hijack a possession and do something off script or

286
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: something along those lines. And so again, you've got your one,

287
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: and you've got your five, You've got Max, you've got embiid.

288
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: You could build out the roster around that tons of

289
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: flexibility heading into this offseason. I wouldn't be surprised if

290
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: they tried to bring back the Anthony Melton. With his

291
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: bird rights, they can offer him more than a veteran minimum, right,

292
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: So like, maybe that's a guy that they'll look to

293
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: to bring back, but they're gonna need to bolster that team.

294
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: That's your foundation, though. You've got a really good foundation there,

295
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: and honestly, you get some good mid level salaries with

296
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: the type of draft compensation they have. Looking into the

297
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: middle of next season, you could open yourself up to

298
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: a big kind of star trade if you want to

299
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: go after a wing like let's say, for instance, Paul

300
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: George doesn't extend, and you go into next season and

301
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: Paul George becomes available around the middle of the season,

302
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: that's where you can piece some of those salaries together

303
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: and go after a star forward if that's what you want,

304
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: right again, if you want to have a legitimate secondary

305
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: shot creator. But Max Embiid I thought excelled in this series,

306
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: and for the most part, especially given in Bead's injury situation,

307
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: and so I thought there was a lot of encouraging

308
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: stuff there. But at the end of the day, you

309
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: just couldn't match the perimeter toughness of the Knicks, and

310
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: that's something that you're gonna have to figure out heading

311
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: into this offseason. Moving on to Pacers Bucks, a good

312
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: win for the Pacers pretty much controlled it throughout the

313
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: lid by double figures for the majority of the game,

314
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: huge efforts from TJ McConnell and Obti off the bench.

315
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: TJ McConnell twenty points and nine assists, keept getting into

316
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: the paint and just making kickout reads, those little pull

317
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: up jumpers that are kind of like his his mo right,

318
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: those little, short, little drifting fadeaway jumpers after he's gotten

319
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: a good head of steam downhill. He also had two

320
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: threes in this game, which is not really what he's

321
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: known for, but hit a couple of big ones in

322
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: the second half, Obie Topping twenty one points and eight rebounds.

323
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: Really want to just shout out Obi Topping in general.

324
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: He turned himself into a reliable NBA player in a

325
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: way that he wasn't back in New York. Right, like,

326
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: became a much more reliable catch and shoot threat. Didn't

327
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: shoot the ball particularly well in this series, but did

328
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: throughout the regular season, and then identified the ability that

329
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: he had to help this team offensively. Right playing alongside

330
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: Tyres Sliburn running his lane in transition hutting along the

331
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: baseline when his defender as the low man tags the roller.

332
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: He's just a natural play finisher for Tyres Saliburn. Big

333
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: time game from him off the bench. Looking out at

334
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: the first round series for the Pacer, six players average

335
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: double figures for them. Some callbacks to the Steam Phoenix

336
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: Suns teams from the mid to late two thousands. They'd

337
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: have like five to six guys average double figures and

338
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: they'd only have like one guy in the twenties for them.

339
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: That was Sean Marion. For this team, it's it's Pascal Siyakam.

340
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: Pascal Siakam averaged twenty two to nine to four in

341
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,239
Speaker 1: the series on fifty five percent. Shooting just did an

342
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: absolute number on brook Lopez whenever he had the opportunity.

343
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: A lot of timely shot making in the mid range

344
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: area as well. Tyres Haliburton's first playoff series is the

345
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: number one option. Sixteen points, six rebounds and nine assists,

346
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,719
Speaker 1: forty four percent from the field, thirty percent from three

347
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: on nine attempts per game. Really struggled from three. That's

348
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: something that he's gonna have to kind of figure out again,

349
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: like he was shooting it so well at the start

350
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: of the season. That's such an important ability for him

351
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: in terms of scoring and pick and roll and beating

352
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: switches when he gets smaller or excuse me, slower footed

353
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: bigs out on the perimeter. I thought Miles Turner was

354
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: the key of the series, though so many teams ignore

355
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: Miles Turner to try to protect the paint. It is

356
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: like something you almost have to do, the pick and

357
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: pop big. If you choose to take that, it just

358
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: opens up so many issues for you on the back line.

359
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: He's gonna need to hit some shots, and he did,

360
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: and he was attempted seven three pointers per game. Knockdown

361
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: knocked him down at forty four percent just I thought

362
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: he his shot making from the perimeter in this series

363
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: just put Milwaukee in a total mind in terms of

364
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: what they were able to do defensively. Now, obvious mitigating

365
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: factors right like Damon Giannis were out, but they took

366
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,239
Speaker 1: care of business and they won a series they were

367
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: supposed to win. Now, the Knicks are going to be

368
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: a challenge, as they talked about earlier. For those who

369
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: watched this on a breakout clip, I'll go over it again.

370
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: But the Pacers defensive rebounded pretty well against Milwaukee about

371
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: seventy three percent, but that is a weakness there. They

372
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: were one of the very bottom teams in the league

373
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: before the Seacome trade, and then I think they were

374
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: twenty first after the Seacome trades, so still bottom ten

375
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: in the league. The Knicks are a team that are

376
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: relentless attacking the offensive class twenty more offensive rebounds tonight

377
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: against the Sixers. They also have a lot of speed

378
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: at guard, so you're Nemhard Knee Smith, Halliburton, TJ. McConnell

379
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 1: guard speed equation that you bring to the table like

380
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: get ready for Josh Hart and Miles duce McBride and

381
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,479
Speaker 1: Dante DiVincenzo and Jalen Brunson. It's gonna be a battle

382
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: of the guards here in the second round. But those

383
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: Knicks guards are super, super physical. They have a strength advantage,

384
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: which I think is gonna be something you see over

385
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: the course of the series. And again, the Knicks are

386
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: just going to pound the ball inside on the offensive

387
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: glass as much as possible. We will have a full

388
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: series preview on that matchup coming out over the course

389
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: of the next couple of days. On the Bucks front,

390
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: obviously a last season for a bunch of reasons, even

391
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: with the injuries, Like you're seventeen and nineteen under Doc

392
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: going into this playoff series. So even if, even if

393
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: you want to account for the the Giannis and Dame injuries,

394
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: which obviously are a factor here, you were seventeen and

395
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: nineteen under Doc and you got your ass kicked by

396
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: the Pacers even when you were healthy this year. So

397
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: this year kind of feels like a last year in

398
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of different ways, and I understand the pessimism

399
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: surrounding that. But here's the upside. I thought Dame looked

400
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: great in the postseason. His pull up jumper, which was

401
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: super inconsistent all season, he was able to make at

402
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: a much higher clip at least while the games were

403
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: in question. Obviously struggled to get some lyft in tonight's game,

404
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: but I thought, I mean, you could he hit a

405
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: bunch of shots in the fourth quarter that kind of

406
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: fixed his shooting percentage. I thought he looked like he

407
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: had pretty good lift and was getting good separation. Damian

408
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: Giannis is still an excellent foundation. You just have to

409
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: get more athletic at center, and you have to get

410
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: more athletic on the perimeter. If you guys remember on

411
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: Monday this week, we had the NERD Sash guys on

412
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: and we talked about a couple of potential options, and

413
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: one of the options that we put out there was like,

414
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: what if you call the Thunder the Thunder. I'm sure

415
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: would love to have a center. Look where they could

416
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: put Schet at power forward right and actually have like

417
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: a real physical size on the floor, not to mention

418
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: a veteran presence. Well, at the same time, if there's

419
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: a team that's too fast for a Brook to be

420
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: on the floor, you can take Brook off the floor

421
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: and play your traditional lineups right like a team like

422
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: the Thunder might very well be interested in a presence

423
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: like brook Lopez. What if you call them and try

424
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: to get one of their younger perimeter players that are

425
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: athletic and play both ends of the floor, like an

426
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Wiggins, like a Kenrich Williams. Right, Like, those are

427
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: guys that I'd be looking at. Just try to get younger,

428
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: more athletic two way players on the perimeter, because you

429
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: can't do much better as a foundation than Damon Giannis.

430
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: That's dam still a top fifteen player in this league.

431
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: Giannis is in my opinion, the third best player in

432
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: the league still. So, like you, you have a really

433
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: good foundation, and when you have players like that, you

434
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: generate small, achievable roles. And when you bring talented young

435
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: players that have skill on both to have skill on

436
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: offense and athleticism in size on defense, you can craft

437
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: as a coach achievable roles for them next year superstars

438
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: and give yourself a better chance of hanging next year.

439
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: Because at the end of the day, like it just was,

440
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: they were, they were way too on athletic, and as

441
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: soon as Jannis left it was beyond the point of

442
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: no return in the ability to handle that sort of

443
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: thing again. Even with the Pacers. There's a reason why

444
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: you went one and four against the Pacers even when

445
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: Yannis was healthy, and it's because even when Giannis is

446
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: on the floor, you're way too slow, You're way too old.

447
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: And so that again, you know what you need to

448
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: do going into this offseason. I'm not one of those guys.

449
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: It's like this thing is over. You got a great foundation.

450
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: You just got to make some tweaks on the fringes.

451
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: All right, guys, that is all I have for tonight.

452
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: As always, as sincerely appreciate you guys for supporting the show.

453
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: I already recorded today with Adamanas from DNVR the full

454
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: series preview on Lakers or excuse me on Nuggets Wolves.

455
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: So have PTSD apparently from that series from the Denver

456
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: tim the Denver Minnesota. That video is coming out tomorrow.

457
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: I also have I think nineteen clips of film that

458
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be recording for a film session tomorrow on

459
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: that series. That'll be coming out later in the afternoon.

460
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: And after that, I'm gonna get to work on Pacers.

461
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: It's playoff season. It's a grind again, gonna get working

462
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: on the Pacers Knicks series all have a full series

463
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: preview on that, and then tomorrow night we have I

464
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,240
