77
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: Game time? All right, let's talk some basketball. So I

78
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: want to start with the star matchup here. Obviously, all

79
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: these basketball games are more complicated than just that, But

80
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: the reason why the star matchup is so important in

81
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: basketball is because that's typically the way that you initially

82
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: break down a defense, and your ability to initially break

83
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: down the beginning of a defense is going to play

84
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: a much larger role in the result than the actual

85
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: secondary part to that, like advantage, extending advantage, like play

86
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: finishing that kind of stuff. Your ability to compromise the

87
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: defense upfront is the most important part, and that's usually.

88
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: The job for the star.

89
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: It was immediately clear from the opening tip that Andre

90
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: Jackson Junior was making Shaye pretty uncomfortable, both in isolation

91
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: situations and in off screen situations. You see him hit

92
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: that hard step back move to his right and he's, oh,

93
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: oh shit. Ajax is right there, got to get rid

94
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: of the ball, or like coming off of a screen,

95
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: and Shaye thinks he's open for a pull up three bit,

96
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: Ajax has kind of draped over his back and ends

97
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: into a bad miss in the pull up three point

98
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: shooting situation. The dead giveaway for me that Ajax was

99
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: making Shaye pretty uncomfortable is that Shaye took a lot

100
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: of bad shots, especially in that first half. He was

101
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: taking just a lot of really difficult pull up jump shots.

102
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: And that's what you do as a score when you're

103
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: struggling to get to your easy stuff. You start to

104
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: start grasping at straws and your decision making can get

105
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: a little sketchy. And I thought that Ajax just kind

106
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: of played Shae. It wasn't just that, it was also

107
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: the rim protection. We're going to get more into that

108
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: detail here in a minute, but in terms of the

109
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: initial matchup, it looked like Shae was struggling to break

110
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: down Milwaukee's defense at the point of attack right.

111
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: It was also immediately clear.

112
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: That nobody in the thunder Jersey could even remotely make

113
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: Yannis feel uncomfortable, and so everything else trickled down from there.

114
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: I want to start with Yannis. I thought he was

115
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: just absolutely phenomenal in this game. I thought he pretty

116
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: badly outplayed SGA, and it starts with his ability to

117
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: draw multiple defenders in the paint through post ups and

118
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: through drives. One of the biggest things that stood out

119
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: to me in this game in the big picture about

120
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City is their ability to rotate out of blitzes

121
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: is so locked in.

122
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 2: They are so good.

123
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: At shutting down openings after putting two on the ball

124
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: twenty five feet from the basket. Their closeouts and their

125
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: rotations are nowhere near as sharp or just simply nowhere

126
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: near as effective on paint touches, when guys were catching

127
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: the ball deep in the paint and double teams and

128
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: triple teams were coming around them on drives in on

129
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: post ups, they were not as sharp closing out, and

130
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: Milwaukee got a lot of really high quality shots for

131
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: their shooters. We're gonna talk about Oklahoma City shooting. They

132
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: obviously had a very poor shooting game. There's a version

133
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: of that game that looks somewhat different if Oklahoma City

134
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: shoots better. But I thought Milwaukee generated better looks in

135
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: this game for better shooters. Important detail. Milwaukee is the

136
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: fourth best jump shooting team in the league per s Entergy.

137
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City is the eighteenth best jump shooting team in

138
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: the league. You have an elite jump shooting team versus

139
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 1: a mediocre to bad jump shooting team. So when they play,

140
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: there will likely be a jump shooting difference. Maybe not

141
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: as big as what we saw last night, but they're

142
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: gonna be. There's gonna be a jump shooting advantage for

143
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: Milwaukee in this game. In this type of matchup, Milwaukee

144
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: generated thirty four catch and shoot jump shots last night.

145
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City only generated twenty one and there's some decision

146
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: making stuff there that will get into in a little bit.

147
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: But it wasn't just that Milwaukee shot better. They generated

148
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: substantially more high quality shots. That helps guys start to

149
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: build rhythm. That helps the lead to guys making shots.

150
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: Like Milwaukee shot better than Oklahoma City in the first half.

151
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: But it wasn't like Milwaukee shot great in the first half.

152
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: Milwaukee shot okay in the first half, but they generated

153
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: sixteen catch and shoot jump.

154
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: Shots, so they built rhythm.

155
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: They get in the second half, they generate eighteen more

156
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: catch and shoot jump shots, they get their rhythm, and

157
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: they blow the game open. So like that was kind

158
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: of like the story of the game. Milwaukee was generating

159
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: better shots and eventually the floodgates just opened and they

160
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: blew the game open. The primary driving force behind that, though,

161
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: was Yannis and his ability out of the post to

162
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: generate multiple to generate advantages by bringing multiple defenders. It

163
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: wasn't even just double teams all the time. Sometimes it

164
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: was triple teams. There's a play where he hit up

165
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: Brook Lopez for a little cut right in front of

166
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: the rim where he drew a triple team on the

167
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: left block, and it was in like the late first

168
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: half period he was wrecking Oklahoma City's defense with his

169
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: presence around the basket. One of the things I talked

170
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: about coming into this game, if you guys remember, I

171
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: talked about how Yannis was going to be bigger and

172
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: stronger than everybody on Oklahoma City's roster, and as long

173
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: as as Milwaukee could avoid the problem areas with Oklahoma City,

174
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: like turnovers in transition, then they would have a chance

175
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: to bludgeon them with their size.

176
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: And by the way they held, they held.

177
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City to just eleven points off of turnovers and

178
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: just eleven fast break points and only seven offensive rebounds,

179
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: and so they avoided the onslaught that Oklahoma City can

180
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: deliver on the margins with their defense, forcing turnovers and

181
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: running in transition, which allowed them to inflict their size

182
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: advantages on the interior. Yannis posted up twelve times against

183
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City last night. Milwaukee scored on ten of those

184
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: twelve possessions. They could not stop him down there. He

185
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: also had five stocks. It wasn't just post ups, it

186
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: was also dribble penetration. Giannis was the best player on

187
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: the floor by a mile.

188
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 2: Last night.

189
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: I thought it was just an incredibly dominant performance for

190
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: him that Oklahoma City couldn't handle. I also thought Dame

191
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: pretty badly outplayed Jalen Williams. There were struggles in the

192
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: first shift without Yiannis. It's kind of this interesting concept

193
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: where like they go to it was like early second quarter,

194
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: they go to like a lot of Dame ball screens

195
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: and it plays directly into Oklahoma City's hands. They start

196
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: blitzing right and Milwaukee's offense starts to struggle. Oklahoma City

197
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: starts getting out. In transition, they go on an eight

198
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: to zero run, and it was one of the areas

199
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: of the game where things got a little finicky for Milwaukee.

200
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: But there was a really smart adjustment because again, you're

201
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: playing into Oklahoma City's hands by running ball screens in

202
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, especially with your guards, because they

203
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: love to blitz and they love to rotate out of it.

204
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: Like we talked about earlier, in the early fourth quarter,

205
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: same group, instead of playing through a bunch of ball screens,

206
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: they started playing through Bobby Portis in the post and

207
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: running Dame off of off ball action, and they were

208
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: the group that blew the game open. Bobby draws a

209
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: double team, kicks out Gary Trent and hits a three.

210
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: Dame comes flying off of an off ball screen. Dame

211
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: knocks down to catching shoot three Brook Lopez. It's a

212
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: big three. They just got super hot from three by

213
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: not getting into the ball screen thing, and they blew

214
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: the game open. I thought it was a really really

215
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: smart adjustment from the Bucks in that early fourth quarter stretch. Again,

216
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was Doc or I don't

217
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: know if it was Dame or who it was, but

218
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: they were smart. They went away from something that wasn't

219
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: working in the first shift, and they were able to

220
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: kind of flip the script a little bit. Also, in

221
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 1: a game where easy shots were tough to come by,

222
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: Dame just hit a lot of tough jumpers and Shay

223
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: and Jalen Williams were not hitting their tough jumpers, and

224
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: that was a big swing factor in this game. I

225
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: also thought it was one of Dame's best defensive games

226
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: in his career. He was competing on the ball, he

227
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: was flattening out drives, he was grabbing contested rebounds like

228
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: an athlete. I watched him in the first half like

229
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: com flying in and grab a contested rebound. I'm like,

230
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: holy shit, Dame is locked in in this game. On

231
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: the details, he was closing out to shooters. I just

232
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: thought he was really good. Brooke was amazing. He was

233
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: super active defensively from the start. He had three threes.

234
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: I talked about him cutting off the ball on Yon,

235
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: his post ups, Gary Trent hit several big shots.

236
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: Again.

237
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: I talked before the game, if they could just avoid

238
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: the issues with the Thunder in terms of their speed,

239
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: causing turnovers and getting out in transition, they had a

240
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: chance to beat Oklahoma City with their size. That's what

241
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: they did. They limited those issues and they got the

242
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: job done. Huge statement for Milwaukee, who's been really kicking

243
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: everybody's ass for the most part for over a month now.

244
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: And again it's all stabilized on a couple of key factors.

245
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: One Jannison Brook Lopez turning up the defensive intensity to

246
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: back to what it was like in like twenty twenty two,

247
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, Right, that was kind of the initial

248
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: thing that happened that I noticed that really started to

249
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: carve out some achievable perimeter defense roles. Then they plugged

250
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: guys into those achievable perimeter defense roles, namely Andre Jackson

251
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: Junior and AJ Green, and those guys both just started

252
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: doing a really good job and in the process did

253
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: a lot of damage right, and then out of that

254
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: just getting everybody else to do their and then on

255
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: the offensive end of the floor again, like just Yannis

256
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: playing at the highest level offensively that he's played at

257
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: in his entire career, his playmaking has taken a massive leap.

258
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: I've talked a lot in the past about how Yanis

259
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: has struggled sometimes to play make out of the middle

260
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: of the floor because his ability to kind of perceive everything.

261
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: He's been doing a ton of damage out of the

262
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: middle of the floor as a passer, and it's just

263
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: a sign of growth. He's just growing as a playmaker

264
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: as he continues to see these reads and see the

265
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: easy opportunities that come available to him off of all

266
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: the attention that he draws. This is a real team

267
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: they're on again. If you're looking at the big picture

268
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: for Milwaukee, it's about keeping your foot on the pedal

269
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: right and continuing to build out those defensive habits because

270
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: you have to be so sharp to overcome the types

271
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: of disadvantages you're gonna have to deal with in a

272
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: matchup with a team like Boston. Right, So again, you

273
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: have to look at from now, from December eighteenth all

274
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: the way through to April eighteenth and the playoff. At

275
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: the beginning of the playoffs, you have what's that like

276
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: to January, February March ap four months here to really

277
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: iron out the details and become as sharp as possible,

278
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 1: because if you get into a setting. Here's the thing

279
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: do like with Yiannis. I said out a poll because

280
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: I was just kind of feeling out how people feel

281
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: about the Yannis Jokic debate, and it's still about seventy

282
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 1: five to twenty five in favor of Jokic, and I agree.

283
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: I think Nikola Jokic is the best player in the world.

284
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: I think Giannis is playing close to his level, though,

285
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: and he's making it a debate, which is something that

286
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: it didn't even feel possible about a month ago with

287
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: the level that Nikola Jokic was playing at. But here's

288
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: the thing, Jiannis is sure as hell the very best

289
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: player in the Eastern Conference, and that is a huge

290
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: advantage to have you go into a series with Boston.

291
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: Tatum's playing at a really high level Jannis is better

292
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: than him. So if you can iron out the details

293
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: and you get the most that you possibly can get

294
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: out of this roster, and you put yourself in a

295
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: series where Yannis is the best player, maybe, just maybe

296
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: he can put you over the top. Again, I'll be

297
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: picking Boston in that sort of situation. But there is

298
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: an opportunity here, a little window, a little light at

299
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: the end of the tunnel for Milwaukee that I didn't

300
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: really see before the season, and they have just been

301
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: proving that they're capable of reaching a level above and

302
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: beyond what we saw before the start of the season.

303
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: Really really impressive stretch of basketball here from the Milwaukee

304
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: Bucks on the Oklahoma City front. Again, like as I

305
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, Milwaukee is shot forty five percent on unguarded

306
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: ketchen choo jump shots all year. That rinks top five

307
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: in the NBA. Oklahoma City doesn't shoot as well. That said,

308
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: I think it's important to acknowledge that there was some real,

309
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: there was some real shot variants in this game.

310
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: So this is crazy.

311
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City generated fifteen unguarded ketch and shoot jump shots.

312
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: They made one. They made one out of fifteen, Okay,

313
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: so I think It's completely fair to come into this

314
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: discussion and be like, hey, we didn't shoot the ball

315
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: very well, and that's something that is a bit of

316
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: variance that could go another direction. But you also trailed

317
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: by twenty in this game. It's not like a few

318
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: shots go in and you win. You got blown out

319
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: for all intents and purposes, right, And so again this

320
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: is where we have to look at what I think

321
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: is the demon that Oklahoma City has to overcome. Every

322
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: star player, every great team has a demon that they

323
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: have to overcome, right. You know, like you look at

324
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: Lebron and it's like he's got to learn how to

325
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: knock down jump shots when teams are sagging way off

326
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: of him. Right, the early Golden State teams, when I'm

327
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: talking like twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, it was about Steph

328
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: Curry and Klay Thompson buying in on the defensive end

329
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: of the floor, which they did and things kind of

330
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: took off for them from there. Right, there's always like

331
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: this thing you have to overcome in Oklahoma City's thing,

332
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: in my opinion, comes down to their offensive process. There

333
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: was a lot again just like the Dallas series, of

334
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: trying rim protectors instead of making easy kickout The Thunder

335
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: shot eight for eighteen in the restricted area last night

336
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: below fifty percent. They also generated just twenty one catch

337
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: and shoot jump shots compared to thirty four for Milwaukee.

338
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: That leads to a problem with your rhythm when you've

339
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: got guys like j Dub Andshay and like, there's even

340
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: play at the end of the Gamehere Kenridge Williams just

341
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: decides to challenge Giannis Antennacoopo at the rim. It's like

342
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: when you are challenging elite rim protectors at the rim

343
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: instead of making kickout passes so that guys get more

344
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: attempts to build their rhythm. That plays a role in

345
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: you going ice cold at the end of the day.

346
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: I thought all game that Oklahoma City Shooters looked uncomfortable

347
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: and unconfident, and the only way to work around that

348
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: is to continue to generate them as many quality opportunities

349
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: as possible for them to build rhythm. This was the

350
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: same problem they ran into in the Dallas series. Oh

351
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: we didn't shoot well, Yeah, but she also kept challenging

352
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: Derek Lively and Daniel Gafford at the instead of making

353
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: easy kickout passes and trying to work for the great shot.

354
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: It's actually the same demon that the Boston Celtics confronted

355
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: early on as they perpetually challenged rim protectors instead of

356
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: making kickout passes and trying and trying to generate the

357
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: great shot, instead of taking the good shot, right, That's

358
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: gonna be the challenge. What you saw Oklahoma City deal

359
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: with last night against Milwaukee is exactly what they saw

360
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: in the series against Dallas, and it's exactly what they're

361
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: going to see when they face rim protection in the

362
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: playoffs this year. Teams are going to sag off of

363
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: ken Rich Williams, sag off of Loud Dort, They're gonna

364
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: sag off of Aaron Wiggins, They're gonna sag off of

365
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: everybody case on Wallace like Alex Caruso, chet Holmgrin. They

366
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: are going to sag off of everybody. Load up in

367
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: the paint and see if you're diligent enough to make

368
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: the kickout passes again and again and again even if

369
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: the shot doesn't go in, so that guys can get

370
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: confident and start making shots. That is the challenge. That

371
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: is the demon this team has to overcome, and when

372
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: they do, they're more talented than everybody except for maybe Boston.

373
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: So when they do, they're probably going to win. But

374
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: that's going to be the challenge. What's the timeframe? Are

375
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: they going to win this year, next year, the year

376
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: after that timeframe is going to be dictated by them

377
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: learning that lesson. If you sit here today and you

378
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: think we just didn't make shots, and you're not willing

379
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: to acknowledge the reality that Milwaukee was taking all of

380
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: your help and turning them into open, catch and shoot

381
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: jump shots, and you were taking all of Milwaukee's help

382
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: and turning them into contested shots in the paint. I

383
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: pulled there like they were as a team, seventeen for

384
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: thirty nine in the paint. Why why? I don't understand?

385
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: There were lots of Go watch the tape. There's lots

386
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: of opportunities. And again, for mediocre shooters, if they're getting

387
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: only one, like two or three looks per game, they

388
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: might just go oh for two or oh for three.

389
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: But if they get four or five looks per game,

390
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: they might find the rhythm and knock down one or

391
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: two of them, and then it could be the onslought

392
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 1: that turns things around for your team. I think again,

393
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: it's it's always interesting to me when you're watching the

394
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: development trajectory of young teams, there's always like the thing

395
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: they have to overcome. For Oklahoma City, it's a decision

396
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: making piece and a willingness to hunt down the great

397
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: shot instead of just the good shot, because again there

398
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: is some jump shooting limitation here. But they're not like terrible.

399
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 1: They're capable of being a good jump shooting team, but

400
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: it has to be part of their identity. And again,

401
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: like it's one thing. It's one thing when you're when

402
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: you're trying to ram it down their throat and transition,

403
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: But like when you're in the half court and it's

404
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: Brook Lopez and it's Giannis Antennacumpo, or it's Derek Lively

405
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: and it's Daniel Gafford, or if it ends up being

406
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 1: a Draymond Green, or if it ends up being an

407
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis, whoever it is that you're playing. If you

408
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: continue to try your six four sixty five sixty six

409
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: wings against some of the best ris protectors in the

410
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 1: history of the game, it's gonna end poorly for you.

411
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: Like you got to find a way to work around that.

412
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: And again, like you're Yannis can win Rock fights, and

413
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: there was a lot of this Brook Giannis and Bobby

414
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: they can win rock fights with their size. When things

415
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: get ugly, they can just try to bludgeon you under

416
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: the basket. That's not a thing you have at your disposal.

417
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,239
Speaker 1: You're going to have to play really sharp on the

418
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: perimeter to beat teams that load up on you. If

419
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 1: you try to beat them with size underneath the basket,

420
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: that's not a battle that you're going to win. It's

421
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: not sky is falling for the thunder. There's still a

422
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: very very good chance for them to get this thing done,

423
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: but it's going to be about their ability to learn

424
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: that lesson at some point before the end of the

425
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: season if they're going to accomplish their goals. All right, guys,

426
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: it's all I have for today. As always, a sincerely

427
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: appreciate you for supporting me and supporting the show. Got

428
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of fun stuff coming out later in the

429
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: week that I've already recorded because we've got some guys

430
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: taking time off for the holidays, so we're tomorrow. I've

431
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: got the Nerd Sash guys coming on. We're doing a

432
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: bunch of like toss ups. We're gonna talk a lot

433
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: of jokichianis. We're gonna talk a lot about SGA and

434
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: the Thunder. We're gonna talk a lot of stuff around

435
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: the Nuggets, Bucks, and Thunder with the Nerd Sash guys tomorrow,

436
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: and then I already recorded a mail bag for Friday.

437
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: And the mail bag, we're also going to be talking

438
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: some big picture NBA stuff regarding the ratings and just

439
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: the overall health of the league. Talk about the Memphis

440
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: Grizzlies and they're kind of bizarre offense that they're running.

441
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: Talk about like the correlation between three point shooting and

442
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:28,719
Speaker 1: offensive rebound.

443
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 2: Just a lot of fun stuff.

444
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: To get into over the next two days, and then

445
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: after the weekend, we'll be back on Monday for Power rankings.

446
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: As always, I sincerely appreciate you guys, and I'll see

447
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: you tomorrow.

448
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 2: The volume
