33
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: I hope all of you guys are having a great

34
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: week so far. Quick show for you today. We're just

35
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: gonna hit three games from last night. The Gold State

36
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: Warriors lost their ninth consecutive road game against a red

37
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: hot Clippers team that has now won four games in

38
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: a row. The Philadelphia seventy six Ers came back from

39
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: down double digits in the second half to beat the

40
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: Calves in Cleveland, albeit without Jared Allen, and then the

41
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics having some late game issues again barely squeaking

42
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: out a win against the Wolves when they led by

43
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: fourteen points in the second half. You guys know the

51
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: the socks and basketball. So we're not going to talk

52
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: about the Lakers today. Kind like what I talked about

53
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: yesterday when Anthony Davis decided to sit, that suddenly became

54
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: a losable game. They don't have a healthy center on

55
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: the roster because of what happened to Mobamba, so they

56
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: gave up seventy something points in the paint and they

57
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: got their ass kick. It's just kind of the unfortunate

58
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: reality of the Lakers in their injury circumstance. But I

59
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: don't think the game really says much about who the

60
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: Lakers are as a basketball team, so I'm not going

61
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: to talk about them today. But let's get to that

62
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: really interesting, highly entertaining game between the Clippers and the Warriors.

63
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: So the Clippers win one thirty four to one twenty six.

64
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: Warriors could not get a stop in the second half.

65
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: I think the Clippers had seventy four or seventy six

66
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: points something like high seventies it points in the second

67
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: half of this game for their fourth consecutive win. They

68
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: really dominated this game physically, which is something that I

69
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: kind of expect in this particular matchup without Andrew Wiggins

70
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: or Gary Payton. The Warriors lack perimeter size. It's just

71
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: the reality, and the Clippers are one of the best

72
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: perimeter sized teams in the league. And you know, but

73
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: as has been the case for the Warriors all season,

74
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: at the same thing, going into their matchup with the

75
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: Clippers without Steph Curry at home, I think it was

76
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: like a week or two ago, and they handled the Clippers.

77
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: And so again, the Warriors are capable when they're really

78
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: locked in of overcoming some of these issues. They just

79
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: haven't been able to translate that into the road and

80
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: they got dominated physically in this game. They got outrebounded

81
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: forty four to thirty six. They gave up sixteen offensive

82
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: rebounds for twenty seven second chance points. That's basically the

83
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: difference in the game. That was the sixteen to seven

84
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: offensive rebounding advantage in a twenty seven to eleven second

85
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: chance points advantage, so literally the difference in the game.

86
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: The Clippers also forced sixteen turnovers, leading to twenty points,

87
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: and that's what's unfortunate. You get a fifty point game

88
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: out of Steph Curry, literally one of the most ridiculous

89
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: scoring runs that I've seen in a long time. We've

90
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: seen lots of scoring runs. Yeah, step only twenty one

91
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: points in the third quarter. We see big scoring quarters often,

92
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: but the Hippers were completely locked in defensively in that

93
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: quarter and they still could not do anything with step

94
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: Every single shot he hit was absurd difficulty, capped off

95
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: with that weird step through scoop shot that he made

96
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: to finish the third quarter. He played as good as

97
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: you possibly could in that quarter, and the Warriors lost

98
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: that quarter. And that's just the reality of their personnel's shortcomings.

99
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: The Warriors shot eight percent better from the field in

100
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: this game. Can you imagine how hard it would be

101
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: to lose a game when you shoot in the mid

102
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: fifties from the field eight percent better than your opponent.

103
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: But that's what it comes down to. That sixteen to

104
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: seven offensive rebound advantage, that's just buying you extra possessions

105
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: twenty seven to eleven and second chance points. That's converting

106
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: stops into baskets. It was just it was a physical

107
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: mismatch everywhere on the floor. Kawhi Leonards constantly getting matched

108
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: up with guys like Dante DiVincenzo and Steph Curry and

109
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: Jordan Poole. Jordan Poole had an absolute nightmare game in

110
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: details of the game, in terms of his rebounding and

111
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: point of attack defense. Terrence Man absolutely dominated that matchup

112
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: in a way that went beyond the box score. Was

113
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: beating him with backcuts, beating him just throwing him out

114
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: of the way to get offensive rebounds, beating him off

115
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: the dribble. That matchup ended up being a big swing

116
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: factor in this game. And this is where I want

117
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: to talk about aggregate size, because again, like there are

118
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: certain elements that you need in order to have a

119
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: functional defense or a functional rebounding team. Right. Like, one

120
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: of the big things that we're going to talk about

121
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: with the Clippers in a little bit is they don't

122
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: really have a real rim protector, which is a huge

123
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: part of why they can't protect the paint, right, But

124
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: they do have a lot of aggregate size on the floor,

125
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: so they can have some success rebounding when all of

126
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: those six sight six seven wings are flying around to

127
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: grab contested rebounds. But when you're looking at these Warriors lineups,

128
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: like even sometimes when it's Draymond and Kevan Luny on

129
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: the floor, they'll be out there and it'll be like

130
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: Dante DiVincenzo, Steph Curry and Jordan Pool, which is just

131
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: really difficult a cover for those guys. There was a

132
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: bench lineup they used in this game that was Dante DiVincenzo,

133
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, Jordan Pool with Jonathan Cominga and Jamichael Green

134
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: That is a very very young, but very athletic forward

135
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: and then a very unathletic backup five in a three

136
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: guard lineup. They're going to get killed in that situation

137
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: in the physical areas of the game. They're just had

138
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: too big of a disadvantage there. If you go Zubak

139
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: went crazy on the breakdowns that were happening at the

140
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: point of attack for the Warriors, getting all sorts of

141
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: garbage buckets under the ram. He finished with nineteen and sixteen.

142
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: And Kawhi Leonard just got fantastic shot quality all game long.

143
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: You finished with thirty points on nineteen shots. And I

144
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: mean on the Clippers front, Kawai Kawai has been playing

145
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: at a top ten level now for more than a month,

146
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: and it's getting to the point where we have to

147
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: start taking that seriously when we consider the Clippers as

148
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: a threat. You know, I've talked a lot on the

149
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: show that there are what's this, eight teams that I

150
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: considered to be championship contenders. The Milwaukee Bucks, the Boston Celtics,

151
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,239
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia seventy six ers, the Denver Nuggets, the Golden

152
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: State Warriors, the Phoenix Suns, the Los Angeles Clippers, in

153
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Lakers. Those are the only eight teams

154
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: that I think can win the title. Those of you

155
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: guys who follow me on Twitter, you guys might have

156
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: seen me tweet out my current top ten players list.

157
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: I just saw someone else tweet of their version of

158
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: a list out and I was like, you know what,

159
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: I got a couple of minutes here. I want to

160
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: see where I think things shake out right now in

161
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: my top ten list. Again caveat here being all ten

162
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 1: of these guys I consider to be top tier superstars,

163
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: so there's not that big of a gap between number

164
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: one and number ten. But I'd have Yannis one, Steph two,

165
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant three, Joel Embiide four because I have him headed,

166
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: Yokis now Yokis five, Lebron James six, Anthony Luca don

167
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: Shot seven, Anthony Davis eighth, Jason Tatum ninth, and Kawhi

168
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: Leonard tent. All ten of those guys are top ten

169
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: play are like legit top tier superstars. And when I

170
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: go to my list of contenders, every single team on

171
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: that list has one of those guys, which speaks to

172
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: just one of my fundamental basketball beliefs. You can't win

173
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: a title unless you have one of the ten best

174
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: players or one of the top tier superstars in the league.

175
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: I feel very strongly about that. The Bucks have Jannis,

176
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: the Celtics have Tatum, the Sixers have him Be, the

177
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: Nuggets have Yokich, the Warriors have Steph Curry, who is

178
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: playing like he might be even the best player in

179
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: the world right now. The Phoenix Suns of Kevin Durant,

180
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: who's probably the best player I've seen in this particular

181
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: regular season. The Clippers have Kawhi and the Lakers have

182
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: Lebron James and Anthony Davis. The only player in that

183
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: list of top ten players that I read off that

184
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: doesn't have a chance to win the title, in my opinion,

185
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: is Luca don chich And it's because they are in

186
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 1: a very similar predicament that the Warriors are in, except

187
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: for the Warriors can at least look back at this

188
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: and go, We've got Gary Payton come in and hopefully

189
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: Andrew Wiggins is eventually going to come back. And when

190
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: those two guys come back, that bolsters their very specific

191
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: weaknesses and suddenly lines everything up for them to where

192
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: their core players can be great at what they're great

193
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: at and push them over the top. The Mavericks do

194
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: not have that luxury. There's no reinforcements coming. They have

195
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: no you know, six eight excellent perimeter defender, small forward

196
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: that's coming back, you know, from a personal leave of absence.

197
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: They're just completely stuck with what they've got, and so

198
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: I don't consider the Mavericks to be in that group.

199
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: But one of the important things for me to consider

200
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: the Clippers as a legitimate contender was seeing Kawhi Leonard

201
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: get back to that top tier superstar level. And he's

202
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: comfortably been there for a while now, so that's encouraging

203
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: for the Clippers. I wanted to shout out Russell Westbrook

204
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: really quick. He had fifteen, nine and seven in this game.

205
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: He just did a much much better job of making

206
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: Draymond Green pay and the Warriors pay in general for

207
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: ignoring him as aggressively as they did in this last game,

208
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: in the game that they played a couple of weeks ago,

209
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: and again, like we're gonna talk about this a little

210
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: bit more when we get to PJ. Tucker when we're

211
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: talking about the sixers. But there are a couple of

212
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: basic things that you can do to remain a threat

213
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: as an off ball player when you struggle to shoot

214
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: the basketball, and first of all, go to the corners

215
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: instead of the wings. Why a corner three is a

216
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: much higher percentage shot than above the break three because

217
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: it's just closer to the rim. Right, Russell Westbrook made

218
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: two corner threes in this game. The second thing set

219
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: off ball screens. So if they're causing you problems by

220
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: ignoring you off the ball, go set a ball screen.

221
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: Go set an off ball screen. Do anything that allows

222
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: your offensive value to be felt if you're struggling to

223
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: knock down that perimeter shot. There was a play in

224
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: the first half of this game where I think it

225
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: was with Paul George where Russ just went up set

226
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: a quick ball screen, slipped to the middle of the

227
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: flour Paul George hit him with the pocket pass. He

228
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: made a little left handed lay up in the lane,

229
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: and last but not least, crash the offensive glass. So

230
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: sit in that week side corner, knock down that three

231
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: when it's there, you know, when the plays in motion,

232
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: don't just stay in there, go screen for somebody, and

233
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: then when the shot goes up, crash like crazy and

234
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: utilize your athleticism. PJ. Tucker is incredible at this that

235
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 1: baseline offensive rebound, crash out of the week side corner.

236
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: Russ had four offensive rebounds in this game. It was

237
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: a big part of why he was I believe a

238
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: plus ten in this game. He's doing a very very

239
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: nice job trying to find a way to fit with

240
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: the Clippers, and most importantly, it's a much more natural

241
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: basketball fit. The ball makes sense to be in his

242
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: hands as he pushes the pace. He's getting the ball

243
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: to Paul Georgie and Kawhi Leonard in their spots. He's

244
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: being selective. It's just it's the combination of him doing

245
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: the little things and actually having a natural basketball fit

246
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: with the Clippers. So I've I've really appreciated watching Russell

247
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: Westbrook in a Clippers jersey. For the record, he's won

248
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: his shifts, meaning he's had a positive plus minus in

249
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: six of their nine games, including five in a row.

250
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: The only weird thing is the clutch thing, which I

251
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: keep talking about. It's just so much harder to make

252
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: up for that ignoring you off the ball thing when

253
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: it's in a late game situation and you only have

254
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: half court sets and teams are being sharper with their

255
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: box outs and they're crashing in their execution right. And

256
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: for the record, the Clippers have played seven clutch games

257
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: since Russ came to the team. They've played four with

258
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: Russ and three without him. They're one in three when

259
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: they play Russ and Crutch time, and they're two and

260
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: one when they benched him. So that's the one thing

261
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: that I want to see them kind of tighten up

262
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: is stick with not playing Russ and Crutch in clutch situations.

263
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: I think that's where you can maximize his impact. In

264
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: this four game winning streep, the Clippers are second in offense.

265
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: My only main concern for them right now is defensively.

266
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: They are twenty fifth in defensive ratings since Russell Westbrook

267
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: came to town A nine games ago, and they've been

268
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: pretty They had been struggling defensively for a couple of

269
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: months before Russ came, So I'm not blaming Russ. I

270
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: blame it on rim protection. The reality is is Zoobach

271
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: is an okay rim protector, but he's not a real

272
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: rim protector. And you know, Plumbley's an okay rim protector,

273
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: but he's not a real rim protector. No one's getting

274
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: scared of those guys when they go to the rim,

275
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: and that's a huge part of why they've been seventeenth

276
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: in points in the paint allowed per game this season

277
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: and twenty seventh in points in the pain allowed per

278
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: game since Russell Westbrook came to the team. So they're

279
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: just not going to be able to protect the paint.

280
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: That's the one thing that makes me concerned about them.

281
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: And why when I list the contenders those eight teams

282
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: that I consider championship contenders, I'd put the Clippers dead

283
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: last on that list. And the main reason why is,

284
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: how are you going to win the title if you

285
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: don't have a top tier defensive front cord. That's something

286
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: that I've talked about a lot on this show. You've

287
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: got to have legitimate rim protection. They just don't the

288
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: Lakers do. The Warriors do, and that's what makes them

289
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: the puncher's threat, a puncher's chance threat in a higher

290
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: capacity than the Clippers are, in my opinion. So the

291
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: Warriors have now lost nine consecutive road games. The last

292
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: time they won a road game was six weeks ago

293
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: against the Oklahoma City Thunder. And my theory on this

294
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: is there is a certain amount of competitive energy that

295
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: allows you to overcome your personnel shortcomings, right, Like you

296
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: know the concept of like playing bigger than you are.

297
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I was one of those guys when I

298
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: was in college. I was only six six, but I

299
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: was always one of the best rebounders in my conference,

300
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: just because I played bigger than I was, and so

301
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: I was kind of utilized as a defensive front court

302
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: player in a way that allowed me to use my

303
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: athleticism because I could jump and I had long arms,

304
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: Right Like, you can compete and make up for some

305
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: of your shortcomings in terms of your physical your physical tools,

306
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: Right Like, I was battling with six ten guys, but

307
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: I just played harder than them. It would box them

308
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: out and jump higher than them and things along those lines.

309
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: You know, when they're at home, the Warriors can compensate

310
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: for their lack of size by playing hard, But when

311
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: they get on the road, naturally, it's harder to get

312
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: that same level of competitive energy. And the home team

313
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: is feeding off of their home crowd, And I think

314
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: you see all those personnel shortcomings come to the surface,

315
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: Like they are just an unbelievably tiny team without Andrew

316
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: Wiggins and without Gary Payton, who's a six three guard

317
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: who plays really big, Like just he plays like a

318
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: power forward in terms of his ability to defend and

319
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: rebound and impact the game with his physicality. That's just

320
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: the reality. He's another one of those guys, and he

321
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: was like that. When I played in the same conference

322
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: as him in college, he was one of those guys.

323
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: He was like defensive player of the year, grabbed a

324
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: million rebounds. That was what he did from his inception

325
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: as a basketball player. And so, you know, I don't

326
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: understand how they like they can overcome this. Steph put

327
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: up fifty last night. Draymond's competing, Kavan Luni's competing, They're

328
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: they're they're trying, but they just they just can't match

329
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: the effort differential the way they can at home. And

330
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't get any easier. They're going to Atlanta next

331
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: potentially without Draymond if he doesn't get a tech rescinded.

332
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: Then they got to go to Memphis. You know exactly

333
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: what's going to happen there. They can they can win

334
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: that game. I give him a chance to, but Memphis

335
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: is one of them physical teams in the league. That's

336
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: going to be a really tough game to win. Then

337
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: they got to go to Houston. Sounds easy, right, They

338
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: just beat the Celtics and beat the Lakers. Now, the

339
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: Lakers didn't have Anthony Davis, but they still have a

340
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: lot of skill and a lot of good players, and

341
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: they couldn't win that game, so it's not it's not

342
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: getting any easier. Ironically, go into Dallas and the final

343
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: game in this trip is the one that I think

344
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: they should win, but it's only because Dallas has all

345
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: of the same side shortcomings that Golden State does, and

346
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: so you know, but then again, if what if Luca

347
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: and Kyrie are back at that point, then you could

348
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: have a much tougher game, So it doesn't get any easier.

349
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: Then they come home, but their home games are against

350
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia seventy six ers, who have been the best

351
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: team in the league since since the beginning of December,

352
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: in the Sacramento Kings, who are not an easy game,

353
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: excuse me, then the Minnesota Timberwolves, and then the rest

354
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: of their in the Minnesota Timberwolves are just a really

355
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: interesting matchup with their perimeter defense. Then their schedule loosens

356
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: up a little bit, and I think their last seven

357
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: games are pretty easy, but there's two really tough road

358
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: games in there. There's a road game at Denver in

359
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: a road game at Sacramento, so you know, the schedule

360
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: is not favorable for the Warriors. They really need Andrew

361
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: Wiggins back, and they're just gonna need herculean efforts from

362
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: their core players every single night in order to maintain

363
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: a spot above the plan. I gun to my head.

364
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: I still think that the Warriors will end up getting

365
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: either the sixth seed or the fifth seed. But it's

366
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: gonna take. It's gonna take a lot. They're gonna have

367
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: to really pour their heart and soul into this over

368
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: the course of the last few weeks. All right, Philly Cleveland.

369
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: Cleveland went on a nice little run in the middle

370
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: of this game to get it up to seventy to

371
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: fifty seven, and then the Sixers immediately went on an

372
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: eighteen to one run. And there's a couple of specific

373
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: concepts that I want to touch on from the standpoint

374
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: of Philly because one mbiads rim protection in the middle

375
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: of that run. And you know, we see this a

376
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: lot with the Cavs, right like, they start spam and

377
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: pick and roll with Donovan Mitchell and Darius Scartland, and

378
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: they're digging off of the small forwards that can't shoot,

379
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: and they're funneling everybody to Joel Embead and it just

380
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: becomes about can Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell knocked down

381
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: incredibly difficult shots, and they go through these cold stretches,

382
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: their offense can get absolutely stifled if Darius Garland and

383
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell aren't making shots. They wanted an eighteen to

384
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: one run, and then Darius Garland followed it up with

385
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: like a solo seven oh run by himself or seven

386
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: straight points by himself, and like they were all incredibly

387
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: difficult shots. This like ridiculous fading jumper along the baseline.

388
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: He get like this wild running three in transition in

389
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: the right corner, a really tough floater in the lane.

390
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,479
Speaker 1: Like when they're tough shot making clicks in they can

391
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: make shots, but they just don't have the ability to

392
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: use them as primary advantage creators. Like one of the

393
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: nice things for phillis advantage creators for James Harden, Tyree

394
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: s Maaxie, and Joel Embiid is when they're kicking to guys.

395
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: They're kicking to Shake Milton, he's knocking that thing down.

396
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: They're kicking to Georges Niang, He's knocking that down. Tobias

397
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: Harris is gonna make that corner three d Anthony Melton

398
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: is gonna make that shot. And then their court like

399
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: and beat Harden and Maxie. They're all good off ball players,

400
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: so everybody can shoot, and so like, all they've got

401
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: to do is get over the top of that screen

402
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: and bring an extra defender into the play, and then

403
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: once they do, they're just kicking to wide open shooters

404
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 1: that can knock them down. Philly on a points per

405
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: possession basis, is the number one spot up team in

406
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: the league. No one's better. Cleveland is nineteenth. All of

407
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: those teams that I listed is the eight contenders, all

408
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: of them are above Cleveland and their spot up shooting

409
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: even the Lakers. And the Lakers data is poisoned by

410
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: the fact that they had no shooting for the first

411
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: two thirds of the season. They're a much better spot

412
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: up team now. But you get the point. This is like, again,

413
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: do you guys remember when I did the the advanced

414
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: metrics rant like two or three days ago, I talked

415
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: about how like even the data that I use, which

416
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: is like points per possession stuff on like pick and

417
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: rolls and ISOs and different play types or line up

418
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: dat or things along those lines, even those play type

419
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: data points, they don't factor in spot up shooting. Right,

420
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: Like if James Harden is coming off a pick and roll,

421
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: and he's surrounded by three shooters and Joel Embiid as

422
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: his role man. That's just an easier pick and roll

423
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: to run than it is for Donovan Mitchell with non

424
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: shooters around him, right, and rollman that aren't as talented

425
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: is Joel Embid Right. Like, That's why I keep talking

426
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: about how complicated the game of basketball is. That was

427
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: not Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland versus Harden and Embid

428
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: last night. That's not how basketball works. It was Darius

429
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: Garland and Donovan Mitchell surrounded by one of the worst

430
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: spot up group spot up shooting corps in the league

431
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: for a good team, and Philly's surrounded by the very best.

432
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: Regardless of whether you're a good or a bad team.

433
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: That is a huge part of the game of basketball.

434
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: It is a five on five sport. You're either creating

435
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: an advantage for a spot up player or the help

436
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: defenders are staying home and your stars get to go

437
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: to work. But that's a delicate balance. And Cleveland is

438
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: constantly playing with Lamar Stevens and Isaaca Chetti. Osman had

439
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: some misses last night on wide open shots were like

440
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 1: his follow through was like corkscrewing and the ball was

441
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: going two feet off to the left of the rim

442
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: like some nasty misses. But man, like you help off

443
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: a shake Milton in the weekside corner. It's like shit,

444
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: that's going in every single time, at least that's what

445
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: it feels like, and per the numbers, it does more

446
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: often than it does for other teams. Like that sort

447
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: of thing really does matter. The one thing that could

448
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: potentially be the saving grace for Cleveland, and he's only

449
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: played a little bit, mostly in garbage time, is maybe

450
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: Danny Green can get back to where he was physically

451
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: before the injury, to where he can guard small forwards.

452
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: Like I covered Danny Green closely when he was with

453
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: the Lakers, and like he struggles a little bit with quickness,

454
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: but he's a good big body that can guard bigger players.

455
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: He makes a lot of sense potentially as that guy

456
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 1: who can fill that small forward position. And he's so

457
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: far he's knocking down his spot up. Perhaps I'll beat

458
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: in garbage time like he's averaging two points per spot

459
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: up possessions so far, sixteen points on eight spot up

460
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: possessions since he came to since he started playing for

461
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: the Cavs. But obviously he's got to get back one

462
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: hundred percent physically to the point or JB. Bickerstaff can

463
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: trust him to defend. But like maybe that's the guy

464
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: that gives them a little bit more depth there, you know,

465
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: and then Carris Lavert can kind of slide into some

466
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: of that. But it's just it's gonna be extremely difficult

467
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: for Cleveland to win because they you can just completely

468
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: shut down their offense and their front court players can't shoot.

469
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: Like I mean, you get to Philly, like even with Phi,

470
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: Like with Philly, you've got Joel Embiid who can shoot,

471
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: and then Pj's Tucker who can't. But just like we

472
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: talked about with earlier with Russell, Westbrook is one of

473
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: the best players in the league get remaining a threat

474
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: offensively despite not being a consistent shooter. And by the way,

475
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: he made a corner three like he does in the

476
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of this game. But then he's crashing the

477
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: offensive glass, he's setting off ball screens, he's doing all

478
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: sorts of things to maintain his offensive value. It's just

479
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: such an important part of the game of basketball that

480
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: doesn't get discussed often enough. Lastly, on Philly, before we

481
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: move on and Beat and Harden are so locked in

482
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: right now. James Harden at thirteen in the fourth quarter

483
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: again last night, a bunch of clutch threes. Joel Embiid

484
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: is just on a defensive tear, anchoring their entire defense.

485
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: He only had five points in the fourth quarter last night,

486
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 1: but his clutch scoring has been one of the biggest

487
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: things that I've been impressed by in the last couple

488
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: of months. And then their spot up shooting is off

489
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: off the charts, like we talked about. That makes it

490
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: really hard to double their ISOs or to triple their

491
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: pick and rolls. That it just you have to send

492
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: an extra defender over, but if you do, you're giving

493
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: an open shot up. So like Joel Ebid was operating

494
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: in a lot of single coverage in this game, and

495
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,239
Speaker 1: it's because of that spot up shooting. The Sixers are

496
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: thirty four and ten in their last forty four games.

497
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: That's two and a half games ahead of second place

498
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: Denver in that span, best record in the league. That's

499
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 1: more than half the season. And like, I think they

500
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: match up really well with Milwaukee and not so well

501
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: with Boston, So it's gonna be matchups but with each

502
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: passing day, you know, and I posited this question on

503
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: my Twitter feed today, but like, at what point do

504
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: we have to just consider Philly to be a top

505
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: tier contender because they're playing every bit as good as

506
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: Boston in Milwaukee? You know, again, I have my same concerns.

507
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: Can Doc Rivers make the appropriate adjustments and play the

508
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: right guys? I don't know. Can James Harden maintain his

509
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: level of effectiveness in the postseason? I don't know. Same

510
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: thing for a Joel Embiad I don't know. But based

511
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: on what we're seeing in this regular season, they're checking

512
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: a lot of boxes. Do you have multiple top tier

513
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say top tier. Do you have multiple excellent

514
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: shot creators check? Do you have great spot up shooting check?

515
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: Do you have great rim protection? Check? Do you have

516
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: a defender that can guard Jannis? Yes? PJ Tucker, you know, obviously,

517
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: just do better than most not do what Obviously it's

518
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: more complicated than that, but PJ. Tucker did an awesome

519
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: job on Yannis in their last matchup. There are What

520
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 1: it comes down to is, in these situations, you're gonna

521
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: have to beat Philly four times out of seven they're

522
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: gonna funnel you to Joel Embiid, They're gonna get high

523
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: quality shots on offense. I'm having a hard time talking

524
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: myself out of them as a legitimate championship contender. Well,

525
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: I'll approach it again when we get to the end

526
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: of the season. But they've been really impressive for a

527
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: long time now. All right, before you get out of here,

528
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: Boston Minnesota. You know, it's funny because I it kind

529
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: of followed the pathway of a lot of Boston Celtics

530
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: games this year. Went up big fourteen in the second half,

531
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 1: then at the end of the game, their offense stagnates

532
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: and then they barely squeak out a win or maybe

533
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: they end up losing because of their poor late game play,

534
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: which is something that has been you know, it wasn't

535
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: a problem for the first two thirds of the season,

536
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: but man as of late, Boston's late game execution has

537
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: gone almost back to last year levels, which is problematic.

538
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: It's funny because, like, there are teams that I watch

539
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: so much that it just gets to the point where

540
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: every game I watched them, it looks the same. And

541
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: that's kind of where I'm at with Boston and part

542
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: of that is they're driving kick team. They're not an

543
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: improvisational shot making type of team. They really only have

544
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: one guy like that on the roster, and that's Jalen Brown.

545
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: They're very much like a machine and they're everything for

546
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: them comes down to rim decisions. You know. I always

547
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: talk about how, you know, like field goal percentage at

548
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: the rim, I think is just as much about making

549
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: decisions there as it is about your touch or your

550
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: ability to finish with you know, english off the glass

551
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 1: or whatever it might be. Getting to the rim protector

552
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: and making a call as to whether or not you've

553
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: got a good opportunity to finish over the top and

554
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 1: if you don't kicking it, that to me is what

555
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: swings everything for Boston. And in their big run. I

556
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: mean it was a close game at halftime and they're

557
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: big run in the third quarter. It's like guys just

558
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: making the right rim decisions. Jason Tatum gets downhill instead

559
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: of challenging go Bear at the rim. It's a hook

560
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: pass over to Horford in the corner, pop extra passed,

561
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: Derek White knocks down with three. You know, it's a

562
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: little high low action that gets Jalen Brown cutting towards

563
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: the basket, engaging the rim protector, kick out in the

564
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: right corner to Al Horford for three. When they are

565
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: making the right rim decisions in passing out of congestion

566
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: under the basket, they get these incredibly high quality threes,

567
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: and they're really tough to beat. When they start challenging

568
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: rim protectors or not trying to drive the ball to

569
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: the basket and rather settling for pull up jump shots,

570
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: that is when their offense falls apart. They are not

571
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: a good pull up jumps team by percentage compared to

572
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,239
Speaker 1: the other teams at the top of the league. And

573
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: so it's just that's the that's the dynamic all the

574
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: time with Boston. Now, one thing I will say Minnesota

575
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: is an excellent perimeter defense team. They're one of the

576
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: few teams in the league that have the ability to

577
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: shut off your dribble penetration and that was a big

578
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: part of how they got back into this game. And

579
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: like when they put out there Rudy Gobert with Kyle Anderson,

580
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: with Jade McDaniels and Anthony Edwards, that's four outstanding defensive players.

581
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: And you know what was funny is when they had

582
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: their best success was when they would attack Mike Conley.

583
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: This kind of goes to what we were talking about

584
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: with entry points, right Like I told you guys a

585
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: lot about this when we were talking about Denver. When

586
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: when you it doesn't matter how good your perimeter defense is,

587
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: if I can get you into rotation. Once you're in rotation,

588
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: like like if if Jayson Tatum is closing out at

589
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: me from fifteen feet away, I can shoot, I can

590
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: shoot a catch and shoot three, Like, it just doesn't matter,

591
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: right Or if if if you're really good shooter and

592
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum's fifteen feet away from you and he's sprinting

593
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: out at you, you can pump fake and probably beat

594
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: him off the dribble, right Like, in an advantage situation,

595
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: it just doesn't doesn't really matter how good you are

596
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: as at defense. You're you're given such a big advantage

597
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: you can capitalize on that play, right Like, That's why

598
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: it's so important to get the defense into rotation. And

599
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: so even one guy, Mike Conley, gives you an opportunity

600
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: as an entry point to get the defense on rotation.

601
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: And there was a key play down the stretch of

602
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: this game ninety three and Malcolm Brogden just wasn't trying

603
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: to go to the rim, wasn't trying to beat Rudy

604
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: Gobert with some tough layup. He just gained. He just

605
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: dribbled past Mike Conley just a little bit and got

606
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: Minnesota's defense to react just a little bit and throw

607
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: a kickout past to Marcus Smart against Kyle Anderson, who

608
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: was closing out at his right side, and Marcus Smart

609
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: ripped through to the left towards the middle and made

610
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: an and one layup like that, to me is that

611
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: the definition of that concept. If Marcus Smart is attacking

612
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Anderson like from a standstill, he's probably not beating him.

613
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: But if he's got an advantage now he can beat

614
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: him to the middle and finish at the basket. That

615
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: to me is the dynamic that allows you to attack

616
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: an entry point and have success. And that is why

617
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily care how good defensively, guys like Aaron

618
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: Gordon and Catavious Cobble Pope and Bruce Browner. If Jamal

619
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,479
Speaker 1: Murray's out there, you can beat him off the dribble

620
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: and you can start the wheel. Once I start the wheel,

621
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: there's two There's another slow footed center on the floor too, right,

622
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: Like that's where that defensive concept comes in. And what

623
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: I think is so interesting about that is that's a

624
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: Minnesota team that has way better defensive talent, and they

625
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: were able to have a couple of possessions of offensive

626
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: success just by attacking Conley. Part of the reason why

627
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: I think they struggled is they didn't attack only enough.

628
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: Like there was a bunch of possessions where Marcus Smart

629
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: kept trying to get Jaden McDaniels on a switch and

630
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, Like Jady McDaniels is one of the

631
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: best perimeter defenders on the league, in the league, what

632
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: do you do? And then like he scored on him

633
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: one time. He had this like kind of wild layup

634
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: underneath the rim that he made. But like that's that.

635
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: You're not gonna win that battle very often. And so

636
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: offensive decision making continues to be my main concern with Boston.

637
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: I wasn't as concerned about it throughout the regular season,

638
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: but as of late, they're kind of regressing a bit

639
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: and that's concerning to me. So I hope they can

640
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: tighten that up because they're gonna need to be sharp

641
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: in that area to have any hope of winning the trophy.

642
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: But like I will say, I was impressed by Minnesota

643
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: in this game. They did a really good job containing

644
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: the ball and preventing Boston from getting into their driving kick.

645
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: At the end, Anthony Edwards, he settled for a bad

646
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,239
Speaker 1: three late. It was like one of one ninety nine.

647
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: He took a contested pull up three that he missed,

648
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: but like he had a lot of success just bullying

649
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,239
Speaker 1: his way to the basket. And I've talked a lot

650
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: about how him, how he's like a downhill power guard,

651
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: and you saw a lot of that against Boston's wings,

652
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,959
Speaker 1: where like they would slide their feet and you know,

653
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: kind of have some resistance to aunt, but he just

654
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: blows through that shoulder because he's so damned strong and

655
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: he's got such a low center of gravity, and he

656
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: was he was magnificent at the end of this game.

657
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: He was had had some nice playmaking stretches as well.

658
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: You know, I'm really really excited to see where Minnesota

659
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: goes in the coming years. They just need to show

660
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: her up a couple of positions, namely that have my

661
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: Kinley position and then getting basically just a better version

662
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: of Kyle Anderson at that Power Forwards at the Power

663
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: Forward spot. All right, guys, that's all I have for tonight.
