All right, let's start with the Warriors. 63 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: So I want to start with the before we actually 64 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: get to the get the nuts and bolts of the basketball. 65 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: I have two refereeing or officiating real lated things that 66 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: I want to hit on, starting with this, the Draymond suspension, 67 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: which was obviously, uh, the big story from this specific game. 68 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: I at first couldn't tell what had happened, and the 69 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: clips that were being circulated around that I had seen 70 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: a close to million times worthy jersey pool and in general, like, 71 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,119 Speaker 1: I'm the kind of guy that when I am talking 72 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: about officiating, particularly when it comes to ejections, I want 73 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: to see absolute, like the unquestionable, you can't leave this 74 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: guy in the game type of stuff. And so at first, 75 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: when I was like, Okay, he's pulling his jersey down. Yeah, 76 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: it's a little bit dangerous. You could argue he's actually 77 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: trying to kind of gather Brandon Clark and and help 78 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: him fall type of deal. Right, Like, to me, what 79 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: didn't see him as dirty? So I was like amazed 80 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: at the fact that they would ever even consider suspending 81 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: him for something as trivial as that. But then I 82 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: saw the other angles, and I saw the swing down 83 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: hitting hitting Brandon Clark on the face, and I mean, 84 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: we could really make it this simple. There's a very 85 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: specific reason why players are discouraged from hitting each other 86 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: in the face in the game, and it's too it's 87 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: because they don't want to get ejected. That we we 88 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,679 Speaker 1: have to have a line somewhere, and in this case, 89 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: the line is like, if you load up and you 90 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: hit a guy in the face and it's not a 91 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: real basketball play, then yeah, you gotta eject the guy. 92 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: And I love Draymond Green, love everything he brings to 93 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: the Warriors, but to me, that was a pretty cut 94 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: and dry ejection. And obviously Draymond Green is gonna have 95 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: some fun with the crowd in that type of moment. 96 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: You know, what was interesting is that ejection changed the 97 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: entire complexion of the game in a bunch of ways 98 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: that are gonna be difficult to translate forward in the 99 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: series because Draymond's gonna play a lot. But there was 100 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: a kind of a brand of basketball the Golden State 101 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: played after Draymond went out that was very unique, and 102 00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: we will get to that in a minute. One last 103 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: thing with the refs, that block charge call on Steph Curry. 104 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,239 Speaker 1: So Steph drives into the lane and he's got four 105 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: fouls and Dylan Brooks has five fouls. And Dylan Brooks 106 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: kind of like stops in the lane and slides a 107 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: little bit over to the left, and you can see 108 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: Steph try to go around Dylan Brooks's left shoulder, but 109 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: at the end he kind of slides over. Now, what 110 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: the rest were saying was his left foot was planted, 111 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: but if you looked at it, his feet were planted 112 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: in a very spread stance and it's almost giving him 113 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: too much leeway of position for him to be there. 114 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: And I was blown away that, after reviewing that play 115 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: and seeing all the angles, that they opted to give 116 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: step that fifth foul and he ended up actually fouling 117 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: out at the end of the game, which is which 118 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,679 Speaker 1: is a predicament in its own in its own sense. 119 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: But my issue with that specific call is I don't 120 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: think it's good for the game of basketball to have 121 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,239 Speaker 1: bodies and and people just falling down in the lane. 122 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: Like there's a reason why when you guys go play 123 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: pick up with your friends, if you you don't go 124 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: take a charge because it's dangerous. It's dangerous to have 125 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: people driving into the lane and falling down. In fact, 126 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: what do you guys do and pick up when someone 127 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: drives into you. You kind of just hold your ground. 128 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: You're more likely to even like to to instead of 129 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: flopping backwards, you'll just hold your ground because you don't 130 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: want to get hurt. To me, that is real basketball, 131 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: and the the the bodies falling down to the ground, 132 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: that's how guys break their wrists or spraying their wrists, 133 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: that's how guys you know, spraying their ankles as they 134 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: come landing down on people. It just turns into a 135 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: really dangerous environment. And so for me, I'm a big 136 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: fan with officiating of like, if it's a blatant charge, 137 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: like if it's as cut in dry as it could 138 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: possibly be, go ahead and call a charge, because you 139 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: gotta give defenders some capability of stopping bigger, stronger athletes 140 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: flying into the lane. But if it's a gray area 141 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: at all, let it go. Let them play basketball. Call 142 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: a blocking foul every time so that guys are less 143 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: willing to slide up underneath athletes as they're flying through 144 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: the lane. How bad would it have been if Steph 145 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: Curry got hurt on that play? That would have been 146 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: terrible for this series, terrible for the television product, terrible 147 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: for the NBA and the health of the league to 148 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: lose Steph Curry in a situation like that. The best 149 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: way to avoid those kinds of risks is to limit 150 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: the advantage gained from flopping all over the place underneath 151 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: the basket, and the easiest way to do that is 152 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: to call a lot fewer charges. But I am off 153 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: of my referee, soapbox, let's get into the game a 154 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: little bit. So obviously there was a down the stretch 155 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: of that game. We're gonna get into the lineups that 156 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: Golden State was using a why I thought they had 157 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: so much success here in a minute, but down I 158 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: want to talk about crunch time here at first. So 159 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: obviously you have the stretch where Jordan Pool and Clay 160 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: Thompson play really well, keeps Golden State in the game. Well, 161 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: Steph hits a monster three with about four minutes left, 162 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: right around four or five minutes left, and John Brant 163 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 1: came back with this incredible sequence where where he drives 164 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: to the basket and gets this like acrobatic up in 165 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: under layup in transition. Then he runs back on defense 166 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: and reads a rotation from Clay Thompson. Steph makes a 167 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: beautiful skip pass to the corner to Clay Thompson, and 168 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: John like closes out like he's gonna close at Clay, 169 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: but instead of closing at Clay, he closed to the 170 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: passing lane, so he closed to the spot next to Clay. 171 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: Clay turned and made the swing pass to the next 172 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: shooter and hit John right in the hands, and then 173 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: jaw drives right down the floor and immediately kind of 174 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: navigates into the lane and hits Brandon Clark for a 175 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: layup under the rim, and now we're tied. It was 176 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: an unbelievable sequence from John Moran on both ends of 177 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: the floor. He's he's a bad defensive player at this 178 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: point in his career, but he shows these flashes with 179 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: his athleticism or he can make defensive plays, and that's 180 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: a great foundation to build on as he gets, as 181 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: he gets older and more experienced to become a more 182 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 1: impactful defensive player. There was a play, uh kind of 183 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: late in the game tied where John Moran got Jordan 184 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: Pool on an island at the top key was right 185 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 1: around uh, right around uh to two minutes left and 186 00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 1: one are we One of the things we talked about 187 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: for this series was we know for a fact that 188 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 1: Clay Thompson and Steph Curry and Jordan Pool are gonna 189 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: struggle to guard John Morand in space. That's just that 190 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: he's too fast and he's too skilled, and it's just 191 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: a bad matchup for them. Stephen Clay for for Clay 192 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: is very good at guarding bigger, more physical wings. Steph 193 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: is a very good defensive player for the set of 194 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: physical tools that he has, but there's very few players 195 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: on the planet that can hope to contain John Moran 196 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: and dribble drive situations, so you have to crowd him 197 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: in those situations. And I thought it was really really 198 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: interesting the difference in their defense on that play when 199 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: Jordan Pool blew when uh, John Moran blew right by 200 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: Jordan Pool and got the layup for the end one. 201 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: But there was a pivotal play late in the game 202 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: after Clay Thompson made the three to give Golden State 203 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: the lead, where the exact same thing happened on the 204 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: left wing where John Morick got Steph Curry on an island, 205 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: but instead of leaving him on the island, Golden State 206 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: sent quicker help. Before I got even close to the rim, 207 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: he ended up going into a ton of traffic in 208 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: missing a layup. And that's the difference. You can give 209 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: up a matchup and to a guy like Jaw as 210 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: long as there's tons of backside help. Where you get 211 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: in trouble. It was when everyone stands around and gets 212 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: glued up to their man. And now Jah has a 213 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: head of steam because he goes right by Jordan Pool. 214 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: And when you give an athlete like that that much 215 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: of a head of steam, there's just no way you're 216 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: gonna stop him around the basket. But Golden State made 217 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: the adjustment and ended up getting the all important stop 218 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: at the end of the game against John Murrean. This 219 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: was not the play after the jump ball, but the 220 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: one before where John Moran missed the layup over overstep 221 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: going to the left. Then I was really curious when 222 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: they were setting up for the inbounds play. I was 223 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: they had Desmond bayned as the as the inbounder, and 224 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: I was I was hoping for Memphis's sake that they 225 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: would run something because they had Jaren Jackson Jr. Is 226 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 1: the first player right by the inbounder with George and 227 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: Pool on him. So I was thinking they were just 228 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: gonna inbound to Jordan pool area or inbound to Jaren 229 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: Jackson and do a quick handoff to Desmond Baine for 230 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: a jump shot because I thought they could get a 231 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: clean look from that. Instead, they had John Moran start 232 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: out at half court and they did the exact same thing, 233 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: but instead of looking to Baine, they looked to John 234 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: Moran with the head of team. The problem is is 235 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: that's the play you see coming a mile away. This 236 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 1: is why we talked about this on the play where 237 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: Andrew Wiggins uh and Otto Porter Jr. Botched that post 238 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: entry that like lob over the top on that late 239 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: inbounds play against Denver and all the Warriors fans were 240 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: matt at Steve Kerr. There's a reason why you use 241 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: your stars as decoys in a lot of situations, and 242 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: those in those settings, especially when they're shorter players, and 243 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: it's because the defense keys in on them and it's 244 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: difficult for them to create their own shot. That's situation 245 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: John Moran went flying into a ton of traffic and 246 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: had to take this impossible left handed scoop shot off 247 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: of the glass. Don't don't play. The Golden State knew 248 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: that is coming. They were set up to guard job 249 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: John Rand in the paint. There was only three seconds left, 250 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: so you knew that as soon as Job put the 251 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: ball on the floor, he wasn't gonna have time to 252 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: make a kick out to a shooter. I would have 253 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: gone to one of your taller players, someone like Jaren 254 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: Jackson Jr. Someone like Desmond Bain to try to get 255 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: a catch and shoot opportunity, because I think you could 256 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: have gotten a better look in that situation. But just 257 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: an incredibly interesting in an incredibly exciting game. I thought, 258 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: what what allowed Golden State to to stay so successful 259 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: in the second half without Draymond is the very thing 260 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: that I've talked about so much on this show over 261 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 1: the course the last five years, or over the course 262 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: the last two years. And that's five out basketball. They 263 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: uh to start the second half. You know, Steph hit 264 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,599 Speaker 1: a bunch of threes to kind of keep him in it. 265 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: There's a lot of Keevan Looney, right, But then they 266 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: took kevn Luni out and they brought in Auto Porter Jr. 267 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: They brought in uh Gary Payton, and they brought in 268 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: um Jonathan Cominga as your front court. So basically they 269 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: went with to freak at Fleets and another six eight guy, 270 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: all three of which are very good at the dirty 271 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 1: work things. Otto Porter Jr. Has been a masterful rebounder 272 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: for Golden State in over the course of this playoff run. 273 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: It's been a huge weapon for them to make up 274 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: for some of their lack of size. Well, they just 275 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: went with those three guys and Clay Thompson and Jordan Pool, 276 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: and the offense with Draymond Green works, So I'm not 277 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: trying to talk about that. It's just a different type 278 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: of offense. The the difference when Draymond's on the floor 279 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: is he gets ignored a lot of the time, and 280 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: what ends up happening is Stephen Clay will hit Draymond 281 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: when he's open and then immediately cut off of him 282 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: because Draymond is like instead of catching and shooting, they 283 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: look at Draymond as basically an available dribble handoff. So 284 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: they'll throw the ball to Draymond Green at the top 285 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: of the key and then they'll fly off of him 286 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: and Draymond will do a quick handoff. They're almost just 287 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: there there. They just use him as a release valve 288 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: to get the ball back. It's not like a spot 289 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: up roll for Draymond by any stretch of imagination. That's 290 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: why he doesn't take a ton of spot up threes. Right. Well, 291 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: that's a completely different style of offense than when they 292 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: have all five players as guys that are a little 293 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: bit more of an offensive threat. And so as a result, uh, 294 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: Jordan Pool and Clay Thompson at the end of the 295 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: third quarter and beginning of the fourth quarter were given 296 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: a boatload of space to operate in. Both of them 297 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: put on masterful performances in that second half the the 298 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: So the super interesting thing about the way that they 299 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: attack those two guys, in particular when they're on the 300 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: floor together is it's kind of like they build off 301 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: of each other's advantages. So what will happen is is 302 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: like Jordan Poole bring the ball up the floor and 303 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: he'll be being guarded, uh, you know by someone like 304 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: Desmond Baine, right, and he'll bring over John Morant's man 305 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: to come over and set a screen. Whoever that is, 306 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: whether that's Clay Thompson or Gary Payton Jr. Whoever it is. 307 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: So Clay Gary Payton Jr. Whill comes at the screen 308 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: and Jordan Poole will come off of that screen and 309 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: John Morant does not want to switch because Memphis is 310 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: trying to hide John Rant as much as possible in 311 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: this series. So as a result, Jordan Pool will get 312 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: into the lane a little bit. So get into about 313 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: like that ten fifteen foot area with a live dribble, 314 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: and the defense collapses on it right, But Jordan Pool 315 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: doesn't force anything. He'll kick it out to the perimeter 316 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: again to Clay Thompson. Now someone's closing out at Clay Thompson. 317 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: Now Clay Thompson has an advantage. Clay Thompson will usually 318 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: like pump fake and get the guy off his feet 319 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: and then put the ball on the floor. Now he's 320 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: got even more separation than Jordan Pool did in his 321 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: first attack, and then either they'll score on that action 322 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: or will get worked around again to Jordan's Pool. By 323 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: this time, the defense has rotated and collapsed like three 324 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: times and they're getting fantastic looks out of it. Jordan 325 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: Pool and Clay Thompson and their ability to further compromise 326 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: the defense with each time they attack a close out. 327 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: Off of that first action is what keeps that thing 328 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: moving so smoothly and how they kept getting such good shots, 329 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: especially when they go in that five out setting. So 330 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: the trick is is like, how can you realist stically 331 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: apply that forward in this series with Draymond on the floor, Well, 332 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: you try to play heavily into that style when Draymond's off. 333 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 1: What I would do is I would almost Draymond talked 334 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: a lot on his show about how he likes playing 335 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: with Kevon Looney because Kevon Looney plays a more traditional 336 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: back line defensive role and then Draymond can really roam 337 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: around and be disruptive elsewhere on the floor. Maybe that's 338 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: your opportunity to play play Looney and then in the 339 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: minutes when Draymond's off the floor, you go back into 340 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: that cominga Auto Porter Jr. And Gary Payton Junr. Front court, 341 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: because then you have that super freak mobility with all 342 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: of the shooting on the floor, and that's when you're 343 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: getting all that five out stuff that you can get. 344 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: I think there's a way for them to utilize that 345 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: type of offense even with Draymond in there because you're 346 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: better with Draymond. You're flat out better with Draymond because 347 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: he makes you way way, way, way way better on 348 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: the defensive end of the floor, and you can still 349 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: thrive on offense because of all the chemistry that he 350 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 1: has with Stephan Clay hunting them as three point shooters. 351 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: So that was the the most interesting dynamic of this 352 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: particular game was the way that the offense looked when 353 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: Draymond was out. So moving on to Memphis really quick, 354 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: the uh you could tell and the this was evident 355 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: evidence in points in the paint and points in the paint. 356 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: Golden State dominated in this game, and a huge part 357 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: of that was, like I was saying, getting in the 358 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: defense and rotation. But you were seeing a lot of 359 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: opportunities for guys like Jonathan Cominga on the back line, 360 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: guys like Gary Payton Jr. On the back line, Auto 361 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: Porter Junior on the back line. That's where they were 362 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: getting offensive rebound putbacks, that's where they were getting cuts 363 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: to the basket for layups. There were There's a huge 364 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: play at the end of the game where Steph Curry 365 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: was working on the left side of the floor and 366 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 1: they completely lost Andrew Wiggins on the backside as a cutter, 367 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: and he ended up getting a layup that tied the game. 368 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: Having that speed and savvy on the back line was 369 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 1: giving lots of give, generating lots of quality stuff for 370 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: Golden State. A couple things that were really interesting for 371 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: Memphis that are concerning if you're a Memphis fan. Jared 372 00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: Jackson Jr. Shot the lights out, made six fres John 373 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: Morant made four threes. I've talked a lot about how 374 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: I think John Moran is going to project forward as 375 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: a good shooter as he gets older, but right now 376 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: he's pretty inconsistent for you to lose a game at 377 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 1: home with Jaren Jackson Jr. Giving you six threes. There 378 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: was a sequence there in the second half where the 379 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: dude was flat out gunning off the catch early in 380 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: the shot clock as the trailing big man and knocking 381 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 1: down like seven ft threes. That's that's tough to replicate. 382 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: And we and as you saw, when the Warriors had 383 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: their defense set, they did a good job of containing 384 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: John Moran and dribble drive scenarios. Where they struggled is 385 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: when they weren't set and when they got too lazy 386 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: off the ball and gave John Morant opportunities against weaker 387 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: defenders on an island. But that'll be an interesting thing 388 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: moving forward is how well can John morand shoot? How 389 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: well can Jaren Jackson Jr. Shoot? Because they're not getting 390 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: great stuff in the paint. You saw that in the 391 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: Points in the Paint battle tonight. Looking forward in this series, 392 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: it's just gonna be curious to see. I talked a 393 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: lot about how Memphis Is physical advantages will be what 394 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 1: carries them as the as the series progresses. In the 395 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: first half, the Warriors actually out offensive rebounded um Memphis. 396 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: They had ten in Memphis had eight. In the second half, 397 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 1: Memphis started to wear them out on the offensive glass 398 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: a little bit. We all know how that goes. When 399 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: the team has the physical advantages, you can make up 400 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: for it with effort to a certain extent. But the 401 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: longer the games go, the longer the series is go, 402 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: that's when those advantages become problematic. And there are simple 403 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: physical mismatch type of UH matchups out there that are 404 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: just gonna be difficult to deal with the entire series. 405 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: There's a play late in the game, an inbounds play 406 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: baseline out of bounds, Clay Thompson is guarding Brandon Clark. 407 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: That's a huge mismatch. Well, guess what they did. They 408 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: ran Desmond Bayne out to the perimeter, made it look 409 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 1: like Brandon Clark was gonna set a screen for him 410 00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: to get out there, and then Brandon Clark just kind 411 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: of rolled around to the front of the rim and 412 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: they just threw it up to Brandon Clark right over 413 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: the front of the rim. Clay Thompson had absolutely no 414 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: no chance there because Brandon Clark is just bigger and 415 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: taller and more athletic, and they got an easy lay 416 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 1: up out of that in crunch time, you know, when 417 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: when Golden States really dialed in defensively. So those are 418 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: gonna be Memphis's greatest advantages as the series progresses. They're 419 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: never gonna outskill Golden State. Golden States backcourt is the 420 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: most skilled backcourt in the entire MBA. They have no 421 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: chance there, but they can win physical matchups with Golden State. 422 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: That's gonna be the curious part as we move forward 423 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: in this series is how well can Memphis inflict those 424 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: things on Golden State over the course of the series. 425 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: I'm still leaning Golden State. I just still think it's 426 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 1: gonna be a long series. I could see this one 427 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: going six or seven games easily. All right, before we 428 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: move on to Bucks and Celtics, I want to show 429 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: you guys a promo about some other content we have 430 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: here at the volume. Hi, it's Colin Coward. I started 431 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: the volume to bring you some of the most apathetic 432 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 1: voices in sports. While you're here, make sure you hit subscribe. Thanks. 433 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to Bucks and Celtics. So 434 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: this is a series that I've been incredibly excited for, 435 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: obviously for a lot of different reasons. And it was 436 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: a really really strange Game one, and in the playoffs, 437 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: game one is always the strangest game. There's so much 438 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 1: that goes into you know, there's a game plan that 439 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 1: both teams have when they come into the game, and 440 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: there's it's always very different from the game plan they 441 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 1: end up having as the series progresses. You also can 442 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: have things like one team coming in more confident or 443 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: more comfortable, and to the Bucks credit, in this game, 444 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: you could tell from the opening tip that they were 445 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 1: a lot more confident and comfortable going into Boston than 446 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: Brooklyn was, and that played out in a bunch of 447 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: different areas of the game, obviously, and we predicted this 448 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: before the series. We thought that mill Wwaukee would be 449 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: more capable of handling Boston's physicality, and we knew that 450 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,479 Speaker 1: that was a weakness of Brooklyn's because they played so 451 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: many thin and non physical players. But at the same time, 452 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 1: we had some very specific data and signs that told 453 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: us that Boston's defense would make Milwaukee struggle, and that's 454 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 1: why I had to pick that I had. We're gonna 455 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: get further into that as we go along today, but 456 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: I want to start with the Bucks defense because there 457 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: were I thought that Boston's offensive struggles, in their inability 458 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: to consistently make the right reads against Milwaukee's defense, was 459 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 1: what led to the transition on slot that compromised Boston's defense, 460 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: which is the strength of their team. Obviously, we can't 461 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 1: see the final metrics until they update on NBA dot Com, 462 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 1: but I would imagine that in the half court, Boston's 463 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: defensive rating looks excellent, but they got destroyed in transition. 464 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: They gave up a twenty eight to eight fast breakpoint 465 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: advantage to Milwaukee. They gave up a twenty seven to 466 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: six points off of turnovers advantage. That's where this game 467 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: was one was in the helter skelter up and down. 468 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: How do transition possessions begin? Turnovers in bad shots, typically 469 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: long jump shots that miss off of the rim, or 470 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: a dude that gets all the way to the rim 471 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: and misses a lay up. A missed lay up is 472 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 1: always one of the most common plays to cause a 473 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: transition possession because it usually involves a perimeter player driving 474 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: to the basket and missing a shot around the rim 475 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: while everyone else is running the other way. It's like 476 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: an instantaneous advantage. We knew coming into this series that 477 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: Milwaukee's defense I believe they were twelve in the regular season. 478 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: It was either twelve or thirteenth. That can't remember exactly, 479 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: but that's a middle of the pack defense. But we 480 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: also knew that when we dove into the numbers, they 481 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 1: were amazing at protecting the paint and they were amazing 482 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,360 Speaker 1: with their defensive rebounding. The reason why is all season 483 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: long they tried to primarily play Janie at the four, 484 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: either alongside Bobby Portis or towards the end of the 485 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: season with Brooke Lopez, and the entire concept of their 486 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 1: defense was owned the painted area at the expense of 487 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: everything on the back end. Like we talked about, Milwaukee 488 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: led the league and giving up wide open threes this 489 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: season defender at least six feet away, which is exactly 490 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: why their defensive metrics were nowhere near as good as 491 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: the other teams around the league. And I thought one 492 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: of the biggest reasons why most of the Boston offensive players, Tatum, 493 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: I thought, had a pretty good game, very similar to 494 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: his games against Brooklyn. He's observed he's absorbing the most 495 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: defensive attention, he has the most difficult job, but he 496 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: still did a lot to create offense. First team, it 497 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,199 Speaker 1: was the Marcus Smarts and the Jalen Browns and the 498 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: Derrek Whites, the other guys that had the ball in 499 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: their hand on the perimeter making decisions that really really 500 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: struggled against Milwaukee's defense, and even Tatum did at stretches, 501 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: but it all had to do with like playing right 502 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: into Milwaukee's defensive strengths. Think about how many times today 503 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: you saw, you know, Jalen Brown or Jayson Tatum, test 504 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: Brook Lopez or Janis Antenna Cumbo at the rim, even 505 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: though you knew that was a low percentage play. And 506 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: it's literally the way that Milwaukee's defense is set up. 507 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: If you play into their strengths around the basket, then 508 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,479 Speaker 1: Milwaukee becomes an elite defensive team rather than an average 509 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: defensive team. There were two plays in particular that I 510 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: wanted to kind of use to demonstrate what I'm talking about. 511 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: So there was a play in the second half or 512 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: Jason Tatum uses a ball screen at the top of 513 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: the key. I believe it was Al Horford setting it, 514 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: but I can't remember exactly. But Brook Lopez was the 515 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: big man up at the screen. He was defending the screen, 516 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 1: and because Tatum is so good off the dribble with 517 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: his jump shot, Brooke had to come up high. So 518 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: Brooke is, you know, up around the three point line 519 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: and Tatum easily splits. But Janice is on the floor, 520 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: and you know that the next step in Milwaukee's rotation 521 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: is Janice is gonna come over and protect the rim. 522 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: And there was a wide open shooter in the left 523 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: corner and Janie and er Tatum instead decided to test Jannie, 524 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: and Jannat blocked it. All series are all series long. 525 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: As often as Boston attempts to challenge sitting shot blockers 526 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: at the rim. They're going to struggle. That's just the 527 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: nature of the way this defense works. In this game. Today, 528 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: the Celtics were ten for thirty four from two point range. 529 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: That's twenty points on thirty four possessions, or point five 530 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: eight points per attempt. Every time they attempted to score 531 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: in the painted area and went poorly for them, they 532 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 1: attempted fifty three point shots. That seems like a lot, right, 533 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: and they didn't even shoot particularly well. I believe they 534 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: only made eighteen. But the differences is when you make 535 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: eighteen threes on fifty attempts, that comes out to fifty 536 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: four points on fifty shots, which come out to one 537 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: point zero eight points per possession. So they were scoring 538 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: twice as many points on their three point attempts per 539 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 1: shot then they were on stuff in the paint. Now 540 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: people will say, Jason, does that mean that you're just 541 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,959 Speaker 1: supposed to take threes all game long? No, it's just 542 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: those are that's the way you Every possession is about 543 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: making a read on that specific possession. When Jayson Tatum 544 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: gets to the rim off of a split with Broglopez, 545 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: it's not his job to score, just because he feels 546 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: like it's time for him to score. No, you make 547 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: the read, and the read was Janice came over to help. 548 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: There was a wide open shooter in the week side corner. 549 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: You have to make that read every time. There was 550 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: a play second play in the second half that I 551 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: wanted to use to demonstrate this. Jalen Brown. Jalen Brown 552 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: had a really bad offensive night. So what do you 553 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: do when you're having a bad offensive night. You kind 554 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: of try to continue to force the action. You try 555 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: to make something happen to get your rhythm going, to 556 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: get your confidence going, to get it into to score, 557 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: to hopefully get the lid off the rim so that 558 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: you feel better about yourself, and so only everything starts 559 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: to click a little better. So I get that that's 560 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: why players try to force when they're struggling. There's a 561 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: play I believe he was. I believe he was working 562 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: against Pat connat him and I can't remember exactly who 563 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: he was guarding in isolation, but Grant Williams was sitting 564 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: on his left side in the corner, completely unguarded, and 565 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: Bobby Portis was ignoring Grant Williams and coming over and 566 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: straight up double teaming Jalen Brown at one point didn't 567 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: even look at Grant Williams. Then, uh after after that, 568 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: Portis kind of stunts back out for a second and 569 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: Brown goes to work. As soon as he puts the 570 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: ball on the floor, Portis comes over and doubles again, 571 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: and Grant Williams is standing wide open on the wing again, 572 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: and he just didn't look at him, and instead he 573 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: worked into the land. He pumped, faked, He ended up 574 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: losing a shot attempt. He ended up losing a shot 575 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: attempt and kicking it out, and I think Peyton Pritchard 576 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: had to do a last second heave right before the 577 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: end of the shot clock. But again, it's like you 578 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: don't do what you think you're supposed to do because 579 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: you haven't scored in a while, or because you're trying 580 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: to build your rhythm. Every possession you play basketball, you 581 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: make reads. If the defense is taking away the paint, 582 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: you have to consistently kick out the three point shooters 583 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: and trust the results. Even if you miss two or 584 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: three in a row, you know, over the course of 585 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: the game, on your shot quality, you're going to score. 586 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: The Celtics did not shoot well tonight, and they still 587 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: got one point zero eight points per every three point 588 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: shot they took. So then what you'll see if you 589 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: consistently make those reads and you consistently kick out, your 590 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: three point shots will go up early in the game. 591 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: But what will happen is it starts to lead to 592 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: an outcome on the scoreboard where Milwaukee's giving up too 593 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: many points. Suddenly they'll be a little less willing to double, 594 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: a little less willing to rotate back to the paint. 595 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: That's when your opportunities are easier around the basket. You 596 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: look at the point of the shot dispersion tonight, you're 597 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: taking fifty three's and thirty four twos. If you do 598 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: those reads exactly like I'm saying, it may result in 599 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: the same split. It might be fifty threes again, and 600 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: it might be thirty four two s, but the differences 601 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: more of the threes might be earlier in the game, 602 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: and the paint will be open later in the game. 603 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: Now you're shooting percentages go up because the quality of 604 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: all of those shots are better. Instead of taking thirty 605 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: four bad twos and fifty if e three's, you're taking 606 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: thirty four good twos and fifty good threes. And then 607 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: your shot quality goes up, your percentages go up, and 608 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: that's when you start to see it manifest on the scoreboard. 609 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: But all of those dynamics, that dynamic of Boston perpetually 610 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: driving into the teeth of Milwaukee's defense and having no success. 611 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: That led to Marcus Smart having a rough night, That 612 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: led to Jalen Brown having a rough night. That led 613 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: to a lot of guys feeling uncomfortable in in in 614 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: out of rhythm offensively. So what happens on the other end, 615 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: Drew Holiday and Bobby Portis they feel very comfortable because 616 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 1: they're playing the same style of basketball that they always 617 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: played by Bobby Portis. Drew Holiday at forty points on 618 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: thirty two shots, compared to Jalen Brown and Marcus Smart 619 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: having twenty two points on twenty four shots. If you 620 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: were ranking the players in this game, you're probably naming 621 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: at least four Milwaukee Bucks before you get to a 622 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: second Celtic, if not more. That's the dynamic that happened there. 623 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: A bunch of Celtics players played poorly because they were 624 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: getting out of rhythm offensively, and then on the other 625 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: end of the floor, Milwaukee was getting fantastic looks in 626 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: transition because of the struggle that Boston was had. Looking 627 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: at Boston on defense, I actually thought they defended really well. 628 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: They made Joanna struggle. He was nine for twenty five 629 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: from the field. A lot of people were saying, like, oh, 630 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: Janice had a poor shooting night. That's by design. Guys 631 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: like uh, and again, and Janice played a great game. 632 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,239 Speaker 1: For the record, we're gonna talk about janice is all 633 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: around impact here in a minute. I didn't a couple 634 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: of things that people need to understand about when I'm 635 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: making these picks. I didn't say that. I thought, you know, uh, 636 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: Janice was gonna struggle because I dislike Janice. I thought, 637 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: honest was gonna struggle because I think Kevin Durant was 638 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: the best player in the league. I that's what I 639 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: thought before the series. But he's no worse than a 640 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: top three player in the league, and he really struggled. 641 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: So that's the credit. Boston's defense has been the best 642 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: defense in the league all season. They've been by far 643 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: the best defense in the league in the last half 644 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: of the season. There's a reason why I thought Janice 645 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: would struggle the way that he did, and he did. 646 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: To Janice his credit. He did a lot of things 647 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: that I talked about succeeding in transitioning around the rim, 648 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: you know, because he thrives in the physicality and the 649 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: biggest area where Janice and this is something that Katie 650 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: really struggled with. In the last round. Janice had twelve 651 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: assists tonight. Some of that was his teammates shooting the 652 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: ball really well. Milwaukee shot really well while the game 653 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: was still in question early on, but Janice was consistently 654 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: willing to make the right reads to make Boston pay 655 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: for their overaggression. I thought Milwaukee did some really smart stuff. 656 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: They would have um Grayson Allen always one pass away 657 00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: so that when the double teams came in and the 658 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: alter skelter, when all the bodies were coming at Janice, 659 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: he always had this easy kick out to Grayson. And 660 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: one of the nice things with Grayson is he's not 661 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: only a confident three point shooter, but he's confident further out, 662 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: like it's the NBA three point line is, you know, 663 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: right around that fet right, but the the Grayson would 664 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: is comfortable out to like twenty seven feet, So it's 665 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: like a release valve where you can kick to him, 666 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 1: and he's comfortable knocking down these deep three point shots. 667 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 1: A lot of like really smart stuff from Milwaukee to 668 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: make it so that Janice the double teams resulting were 669 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: resulting in quality shots on the other end. But again 670 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 1: I thought, I thought shot making was a huge part 671 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,959 Speaker 1: of this. Look at the look at all of the 672 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 1: times Drew Holiday in this game scored over contests. So 673 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: I'm excited to get into the film on this tomorrow. 674 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: But one of the things that really hurt Boston is 675 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,879 Speaker 1: they didn't have anybody if you look at their shot chart. 676 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: If you look at Boston shot chart, it's all threes 677 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: and then misses in the painted area. They didn't have 678 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: anybody that was like comfortable operating out of the mid range. 679 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: And Drew Holiday in particular was getting all these little 680 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: pop shots and floaters and and pull up two's and 681 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: things in the midrange that he was making. It was 682 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 1: like it was where Milwaukee was getting a lot of 683 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 1: their offense in the half court in particular, A ton 684 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: of a credit to him, Bobby Portis was able to 685 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 1: attack Jalen Brown in the post and get good shots 686 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: almost every time. That's a that's a matchup thing that 687 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: you can't lose if your Boston. You can't have your 688 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: second best player lose a matchup head to head on 689 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: both ends of the floor to like the fifth best 690 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: player on Milwaukee. That's gonna be a problem for Boston. 691 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: Those are little areas where they that there's not really 692 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: much scheming you can talk about. It's just they have 693 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: to be better. Jalen Brown has to be better at 694 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:45,399 Speaker 1: making shots in isolation situations then Bobby Portis is. If 695 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 1: that dynamic goes the other way, that's gonna be a problem. 696 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: But I wanted to give some credit to overall to 697 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: the championship poise of Milwaukee, because in all the things 698 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: that I just discussed with Boston really struggling with their 699 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 1: decision jian making and just being smart basketball players, they 700 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: got out of whack. They didn't even really resemble themselves, right, 701 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: That's that's the lack of experience and the lack of 702 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,359 Speaker 1: confidence to handle that type of situation. Milwaukee, they came 703 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,399 Speaker 1: in like we're you know, we know exactly who we are, 704 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,839 Speaker 1: we know what this environment is going to be, like, 705 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: we don't care how physical it is. We've been trailing 706 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: to zero in the series before, just like they did 707 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: last year against Phoenix. They've been They were down to 708 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: zero against Brooklyn, like like Milwaukee is just not scared 709 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: of anything, and they came in like champs and they 710 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 1: were confident all night long. And as a result, they 711 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:42,720 Speaker 1: threw a very good first punch and Boston's first punch 712 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 1: in the series was one of their worst punches. That's 713 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: an example of inexperience. And that's something that they'll have 714 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 1: to figure out when I'm looking at Boston looking for 715 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: And then one last note there with Janice again, just 716 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: the difference between him and KD right now, and the 717 00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 1: reason why I have to put Janice ahead of k 718 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: D now is he's demonstrating for us in this series 719 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 1: that even though he's shooting poorly just like k D did, 720 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 1: even though he's turning the ball over a lot, just 721 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: like he did it had five I think he had 722 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,919 Speaker 1: at least five turnovers tonight. Again, like he's having all 723 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: the same struggles that k D did, just like we 724 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:21,280 Speaker 1: predicted he would in this series. But he's impacting, winning 725 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 1: monstrously as a rim protector on defense and as a 726 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: playmaker on offense, and just those two things were a 727 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,919 Speaker 1: massive swing factor in this game. And that's the reason 728 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 1: why I valued those skills so much over the years. 729 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: And it's a massive credit to honest And those are 730 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,880 Speaker 1: the leaps that he's made as a player that have 731 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 1: made him the best player in the world. Not a 732 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: jump shot, not a turnaround, nifty post up, not a 733 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: one legged fade away, not him knocking down threes. It's 734 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 1: that stuff. Defending like crazy, like a defensive player of 735 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: the Year, and playmaking when defensive send you tons of attention, 736 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,320 Speaker 1: those are the things that end up determining, uh, these outcomes. 737 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: A couple of quick notes before we move on for 738 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 1: those of people, people who want to take victory apps. 739 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: Because I was very high in Boston. I said, I 740 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 1: thought they were the best defense of this era. I 741 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: picked them to win the series in five games. First 742 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 1: of all, wasn't that crazy of the take? Boston was 743 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,760 Speaker 1: a minus two hundred favorite in Vegas before before the series, 744 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 1: like they were the better team from everybody who was 745 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: paying attention up until this point. Okay, Like it's not 746 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 1: exactly a shock. It would app if you picked Milwaukee 747 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 1: to win this series, you were picking an upset. If 748 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 1: you happen to be right, that's awesome. I will absolutely 749 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: acknowledge that if we get to that point, but there's 750 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: a lot of evidence to back up the claims that 751 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: I was making. I said Boston was the best defense 752 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: of this era. They literally were the number one defense 753 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,359 Speaker 1: in the league for the entire regular season. Ever since 754 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: January three, they were five points better per one hund 755 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: possession than everybody in the entire league. On the defensive 756 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 1: end of the floor, they took Katie and Kyrie, who 757 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: averaged a hundred and twenty three points per Hunter possessions 758 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,919 Speaker 1: on offense in the regular season, and brought that down 759 00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,080 Speaker 1: to one thirteen. They held him ten points below the 760 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: regular season average. We have tons of evidence of how 761 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 1: great this Boston defense is, and they were excellent again 762 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 1: tonight in the half court. So Boston played poorly there there. 763 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,319 Speaker 1: Milwaukee clearly demonstrated some things that are going to be 764 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 1: interesting as the series progresses, but I'm still picking Boston. 765 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,319 Speaker 1: I never overreact to Game ones. I literally watched I've 766 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: seen so many all of you guys have seen so 767 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 1: many examples over the years of a team going on 768 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 1: the road in Game one and having an impressive win 769 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 1: and then the better team taking control no different than 770 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: when the Celtics one in Milwaukee with Kyrie a couple 771 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 1: of years ago and then got swept the rest of 772 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 1: the way. It's the better team is Boston. They've demonstrated 773 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: that over an extensive stretch. If Milwaukee wins this series, 774 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,439 Speaker 1: it will be an example of the fact that we 775 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 1: are that the evidence that we saw over the course 776 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,920 Speaker 1: of the last six months was was inaccurate compared to 777 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 1: what Milwaukee's playoff ceiling was. And if that happens, we 778 00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 1: react at that point. But I'm never going to react 779 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: after Game one. Guys, if Milwaukee sweeps Boston, I'm not 780 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,800 Speaker 1: gonna sit here and go down with the ship. I 781 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: will happily admit that I was wrong about something. We're 782 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,400 Speaker 1: just not there yet. If we get there, we'll confronted 783 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 1: at that point. And then last note, looking forward in 784 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 1: this series with Boston again, it's just role players have 785 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 1: to play better. Marcus Smartin and Jalen Brown have to 786 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 1: be able to at least compete as shot makers and 787 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 1: decision makers with Drew Holiday and Bobby Portis. You can't 788 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,000 Speaker 1: get beaten those matchups. Their half court defense was excellent. 789 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: We will take a closer look at that tomorrow in 790 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 1: some film. Um, but they got killed in transition, so 791 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: they need to execute better on offense so that they 792 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 1: don't get killed in transition. And then one adjustment for 793 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 1: Milwaukee with Joannice. I thought Joannice was a little bit uh. 794 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 1: He did some great playmaking, but he also was a 795 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: little bit of a gunner and took some shots in 796 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 1: traffic that he probably shouldn't have. I think Milwaukee, Uh, 797 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: it's similar to the way Tatum is just kind of 798 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: taking attention and trying to make plays for his teammates. 799 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: I'd like to see Janice tone back a little bit 800 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: on some of the shots in traffic because those I 801 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: think in at her punch from Boston, that kind of 802 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,319 Speaker 1: dynamic could get you beat. You're getting easy looks when 803 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,320 Speaker 1: you're passing out of that. That needs to be honest 804 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,879 Speaker 1: as approach. Moving forward, super excited to see the rest 805 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,759 Speaker 1: of the series. Again, I'm still sticking with Boston, but 806 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,840 Speaker 1: this makes it complicated. I picked Boston in five. The 807 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,319 Speaker 1: trick is is I think Milwaukee gets one of Game 808 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 1: three or four on their home floor, so now that 809 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 1: suddenly pushes it to six. Game six is in Milwaukee. 810 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a game where now with with them 811 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 1: having home court, that could be a game that Milwaukee 812 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,879 Speaker 1: is probably gonna be favored in. Right, So I'm still 813 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: leaning Boston, but this probably means it's gonna be a 814 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 1: longer series and could very well go seven. Hi, It's 815 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: Colin Coward. I started the volume to bring you some 816 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,280 Speaker 1: of the most apathetic voices in sports. While you're here, 817 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:56,200 Speaker 1: make sure you hit subscribe. Thanks. One last note on 818 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 1: the Celtics. They did update the NBA dot Com numbers 819 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,359 Speaker 1: and Celtics only gave up a hundred points per one 820 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: possessions today, which is a great number. And when you 821 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 1: look at how successful Milwaukee was in transition, we laid 822 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,880 Speaker 1: those numbers out to eight in fast breakpoint advantages, you know, 823 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 1: twenty six to seven and points off the turnovers. My 824 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: guess is tomorrow, when I go look into cleaning the 825 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: glass and see the stats that Boston's half court defense 826 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 1: against Milwaukee was phenomenal. That is a good thing that 827 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,439 Speaker 1: they can move forward with in this series. A good 828 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 1: way too, because now they have to win four the 829 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 1: next six games, right, and a good way to do 830 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,239 Speaker 1: that is to be able to get stops in the 831 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: half court because you can limit your mistakes with better 832 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 1: decision making in the half court, avoiding turnovers, better shot 833 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 1: selection to avoid those runouts. That is a positive sign 834 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 1: if you're Boston looking forward. Before we move on, because 835 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk a little bit about this Joel and 836 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 1: Beat News, I wanted to hit our housekeeping notes one 837 00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 1: more time.

So follow me on Twitter at underscore Jason LT. 860 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 1: All right, so let's move on to this Joel embiad news. 861 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 1: So we did a full length YouTube breakdown of this 862 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:16,080 Speaker 1: series that you can find on our Volume YouTube channel 863 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 1: right now just by scrolling down. And so if you 864 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,440 Speaker 1: want to see all of the details and the weeds, 865 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 1: that's the play to go. The thing that was a 866 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,239 Speaker 1: throwoff for me in this particular series was how much 867 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 1: is MBI gonna play? When the original shampsire any report 868 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 1: came out, it was so like vague. It was like, 869 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 1: we're shutting him down, but like we don't know how long. 870 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,920 Speaker 1: Does this mean he's out for the season. Does this 871 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,360 Speaker 1: mean he's you know, gonna come back in time for 872 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,879 Speaker 1: Game one? Well, we got more information on that he's 873 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 1: going to miss at least games one and two in Miami, 874 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,279 Speaker 1: and that is that's tough because when I was when 875 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,320 Speaker 1: I did my breakdown, I factored in and beat available 876 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 1: for all the games because I was like, I have 877 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,919 Speaker 1: no idea what to expect here, might as well try 878 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,800 Speaker 1: to prep for the series as if O L is playing. 879 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,760 Speaker 1: And I had originally picked the sixers in six games, 880 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,360 Speaker 1: and I did a I had a bunch of reasons 881 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,359 Speaker 1: for that, Mainly, I think people are underestimating just how 882 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 1: important it is to have great shooting off of Joel Embiid. 883 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,080 Speaker 1: And one of the huge swing factors in that Toronto 884 00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,759 Speaker 1: Raptors series was Tobias Harris, Tyrese Maxie and Danny Green 885 00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 1: and George's kneeing, those four guys just being deadly in 886 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,760 Speaker 1: spot up roles. Those four guys were eleven for twenty 887 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,640 Speaker 1: three from three in the close out game in Toronto. 888 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,920 Speaker 1: And so what's happening is even though Embiad is struggling 889 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,920 Speaker 1: with the double teams at first, even though he's just 890 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,280 Speaker 1: making like that quick swing pass out to the perimeter, 891 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:43,960 Speaker 1: they're working it around and really good, frankly overqualified players 892 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 1: for the roles that they're being asked to field are 893 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,800 Speaker 1: capitalizing off of all that attention, and so I thought 894 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 1: that specifically, uh Philly's ability to capitalize on that defensive 895 00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 1: tension was going to give them their best chance to 896 00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 1: win this series. Miami. There's a lot of like p J. 897 00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,479 Speaker 1: Tucker in there. There's a lot of like bamat a Bio, 898 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 1: guys that you don't necessarily have to guard out at 899 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,320 Speaker 1: the three point line that can really affect their spacing. 900 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 1: The core lineup for Philly Joel m b James Hard 901 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,880 Speaker 1: and Tyrese Maxie, Danny Green and Tobias Harris. There's nobody 902 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,920 Speaker 1: in that group that you can leave wide open. They 903 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,600 Speaker 1: will burn you consistently. And so that's the dynamic in 904 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,799 Speaker 1: that series that that that I liked a lot. But 905 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 1: with Joel em beat out, it gets tricky. We just 906 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,359 Speaker 1: talked about this with the Celtics. You know, the home 907 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,799 Speaker 1: court thing plays a significant role a lot of times. 908 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 1: While you pick an underdog in Game six is because 909 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 1: they steal a game on the road and then they 910 00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 1: win a home game in Game six. As if that 911 00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 1: dynamic gets thrown off by a winner a loss. Early on, 912 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 1: I picked the Celtics in five because I thought they'd 913 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,400 Speaker 1: win games one and two. Then I thought they'd lose 914 00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 1: one of the two games in Milwaukee and then take 915 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,680 Speaker 1: a three one lead home to Boston, where it'd be 916 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 1: extremely difficult to lose a closeout game in front of 917 00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,960 Speaker 1: your home crowd. But losing game one now puts you 918 00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 1: in a weird predicament where to have a close out 919 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,720 Speaker 1: opportunity at home, you either have to win both games 920 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,880 Speaker 1: in Milwaukee or you have to close them out in 921 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 1: game seven, where anything can happen. That's the dynamic of 922 00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 1: home court advantage in a playoff series, and how tricky 923 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,560 Speaker 1: that can get. So for the Sixers, like you're going 924 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,759 Speaker 1: to Miami without Joel Embiid, You're probably gonna lose both 925 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,600 Speaker 1: of those games. So now you're down two games to none. 926 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,000 Speaker 1: There's a lot of pressure on you at home to 927 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,480 Speaker 1: hold home court if you lose one of those games. 928 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,840 Speaker 1: Now you're down three one going back to Miami in 929 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,040 Speaker 1: a closeout game. So it gets really tricky for me 930 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:34,040 Speaker 1: to continue saying sixers and six when Joe, when Joel 931 00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:35,880 Speaker 1: embiads gonna miss the first two games, And what's so 932 00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 1: funny about that is, like, let's back up in time 933 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,840 Speaker 1: really quick to two eighteen, and Chris Paul and James 934 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,160 Speaker 1: Harden are at the top of the basketball world practically 935 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,800 Speaker 1: with an opportunity to beat the Warriors and have a 936 00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 1: chance to win an NBA championship. Chris Paul pulls his hamstring. 937 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 1: They lose. Then in two thousand nineteen, they have a 938 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,759 Speaker 1: disappointing loss to the Warriors where Kevin Durank goes down 939 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,920 Speaker 1: and they still lose in six games. Right, Well, at 940 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:01,959 Speaker 1: for that, we have a falling out between James Harden 941 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,839 Speaker 1: and Chris Paul. He ships Chris Paul off. He thinks 942 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:06,680 Speaker 1: he's not good enough to be a teammate of his 943 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,480 Speaker 1: ops for Russell Westbrook instead. Not the first guy too, 944 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 1: I'm not the last guy, I should say to make 945 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:15,839 Speaker 1: that mistake. Well, what's super interesting about this is now 946 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 1: we fast forward two. Chris Paul is the old guy. 947 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,560 Speaker 1: Chris Paul is the one that's at an age disadvantage 948 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,719 Speaker 1: here with all the mileage. Okay, Devin Booker goes down 949 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,239 Speaker 1: the hamstring injury in Game two. What did I tell 950 00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,399 Speaker 1: you guys on the show? I said, Chris Paul will 951 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:34,200 Speaker 1: win this series without Devin Booker. He is playing some 952 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,719 Speaker 1: of the best basketball of his career. All he has 953 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,120 Speaker 1: to do is float the ship long enough for Devin 954 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,680 Speaker 1: Booker to get back, then they'll have the chance. Do 955 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,520 Speaker 1: any of you think that James Harden can go into 956 00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,440 Speaker 1: Miami and steal a game. He might, and if he 957 00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,360 Speaker 1: does again, I'll be the first guy to come up 958 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,759 Speaker 1: here and give him props. But if I said, if 959 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,200 Speaker 1: I said Philly was gonna steal a game in Miami 960 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,000 Speaker 1: over the course of the next three days, what do 961 00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,840 Speaker 1: you think would be the driving force behind that? I 962 00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 1: would say the most likely outcome there as Tyrese max 963 00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 1: He goes off and Tyrese Maxie has like a thirty 964 00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,400 Speaker 1: eight point night where he just torches everybody in transition, 965 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,480 Speaker 1: flying up and down the floor. Like your confidence factor 966 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,920 Speaker 1: in James Harden and his ability to steal one of 967 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 1: these games to buy Joel Embi the opportunity to get 968 00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,480 Speaker 1: right and get back on on the core on the court, 969 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:25,640 Speaker 1: your confidence factor and James Harden is extraordinarily low, right, 970 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,920 Speaker 1: whereas Chris Paul, You're like, yeah, he's probably gonna do it. 971 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,239 Speaker 1: And even above and beyond that game six, Chris Paul 972 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:37,040 Speaker 1: has one of the greatest playoff performances of all time 973 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:41,480 Speaker 1: and goes fourteen for fourteen from the field, the staving 974 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:45,040 Speaker 1: off that game seven where anything can happen. It's just 975 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:49,960 Speaker 1: an unbelievably ironic turn of events to where Chris Paul 976 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,080 Speaker 1: is like, definitively a better basketball player than James Harden 977 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,160 Speaker 1: right now at his age, which is completely ridiculous, a 978 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,799 Speaker 1: far more dependable playoff player. Just a bizarre turn of 979 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 1: a and and honestly like it. Kind of I hate 980 00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,799 Speaker 1: revisionist history, but it kind of we have to look 981 00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,360 Speaker 1: back at that two thousand eighteen rockets run is a 982 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,400 Speaker 1: little bit more of a Chris Paul thing. Not that 983 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,759 Speaker 1: James Harden wasn't amazing at that time, because he was, 984 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,760 Speaker 1: but Chris Paul and what he brought to the table 985 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,680 Speaker 1: complimented James Harden so well and covered so many of 986 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:22,760 Speaker 1: his flaws. Hopefully one day James Harden appreciates that, because 987 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,600 Speaker 1: that was that was a significant ally that he had 988 00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,160 Speaker 1: in his corner that he turned away, you know, for 989 00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 1: a lot of different reasons, but I would argue and 990 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:31,080 Speaker 1: had a lot to do with the fact that Chris 991 00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:35,280 Speaker 1: Paul is that type of dead serious competitor that James 992 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,280 Speaker 1: Harden cannot be from time to time, and that causes 993 00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,600 Speaker 1: problems as far as it pick for this series. It's 994 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,440 Speaker 1: so difficult to tell. There's no guarantee that that joe 995 00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,880 Speaker 1: El Embie is gonna come back in game three. To me, 996 00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,960 Speaker 1: losing those first two games of Joel Embi just puts 997 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,319 Speaker 1: them too far behind the eight ball. It's just too 998 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,520 Speaker 1: difficult to expect them to win the games that they 999 00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 1: would need to win without him and have a chance 1000 00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,759 Speaker 1: to win this series. So now with the news that 1001 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,600 Speaker 1: all and Beat is out for the first two games 1002 00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,520 Speaker 1: of the series, I'm actually gonna go back to uh 1003 00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:08,279 Speaker 1: picking Miami to win this series. Going down two oh 1004 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,880 Speaker 1: is just it's it's just an incredibly difficult hole to 1005 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,880 Speaker 1: dig yourself out of. So I'm gonna go with Miami 1006 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,000 Speaker 1: really quickly. Before we get out of here tonight, I 1007 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,160 Speaker 1: just want to talk for a quick second about Luca 1008 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,759 Speaker 1: and the Sons again. We did a full We did 1009 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,160 Speaker 1: a full breakdown of this on the YouTube channel, so 1010 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:24,719 Speaker 1: you can scroll down and you could see it there. 1011 00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,520 Speaker 1: This series, to me, there's two dynamics that I think 1012 00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:32,560 Speaker 1: are gonna swing that are gonna be the key swing factors. 1013 00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 1: So for Dallas on offense, it's gonna be how frequently 1014 00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:40,400 Speaker 1: can Luca get Chris Paul and Devin Booker on an island? 1015 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 1: Because he is one of the best big body mismatch 1016 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:45,960 Speaker 1: attackers that we have in the league because of his ability, 1017 00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,520 Speaker 1: he's kind of like Yokich in the sense that he's 1018 00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:51,279 Speaker 1: so good at using body positioning on smaller defenders to 1019 00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,440 Speaker 1: kind of pin them in places where they don't affect 1020 00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,560 Speaker 1: him shooting. And he has all these arsenals, this like 1021 00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 1: deep arsenal of mid range jump shots that are turning 1022 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 1: around over both shoulders to like push shots and floaters 1023 00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,200 Speaker 1: and things around that ten foot line that makes him 1024 00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,960 Speaker 1: so incredibly difficult to guard. And this is not like 1025 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:09,880 Speaker 1: a This is not gonna be like a team that 1026 00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:11,959 Speaker 1: has a ton of length and athleticism on the floor 1027 00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 1: at all times. Phoenix will regularly have guys like Devin 1028 00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,200 Speaker 1: Booker Chris Paul campaign on the floor where you have 1029 00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,600 Speaker 1: opportunities for Luca to attack. How willing is Phoenix to 1030 00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,640 Speaker 1: give up those switches because they're gonna have Michhail Bridges 1031 00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:28,080 Speaker 1: guard Luca the entire game if they can find a 1032 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:31,200 Speaker 1: way to navigate all those screens with Michael Bridges so 1033 00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,560 Speaker 1: that he doesn't get off a Luca that often. That 1034 00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,560 Speaker 1: could be a big swing factor for Phoenix. And then 1035 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,800 Speaker 1: on the other end of the floor, it's the opposite 1036 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,279 Speaker 1: of the Utah Jazz dynamic. Dallas was able to have 1037 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,440 Speaker 1: a lot of success switching against Utah because when they'd switched, 1038 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,120 Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert could not make them pay. Rudy Gobert is 1039 00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,200 Speaker 1: not capable of it. He's one of the worst, like 1040 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,520 Speaker 1: as far as guys who are highly paid, he's one 1041 00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:53,839 Speaker 1: of the worst, like interior scorers in the league as 1042 00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 1: as a big man. That's that's that's difficult to deal 1043 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,840 Speaker 1: with in a switching scheme because you're gonna put a 1044 00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 1: guy like Jalen bruntson and onto Rudy Gobert and back 1045 00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:03,400 Speaker 1: him into the paint and he's holding his arm of 1046 00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,120 Speaker 1: calling for the ball no one, no one even wants 1047 00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,160 Speaker 1: to give it to him. Well, that's not the case 1048 00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,360 Speaker 1: with DeAndre Aton. Chris Paul and DeAndre Aton have this 1049 00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:12,879 Speaker 1: amazing chemistry to where when they get those switches, which 1050 00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,480 Speaker 1: Dallas is gonna do a lot of switching in those scenarios. 1051 00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,799 Speaker 1: My guess is they'll drop in specific scenarios, but they'll 1052 00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,000 Speaker 1: do a lot of switching in those switch scenarios. Chris 1053 00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:22,879 Speaker 1: Paul is just gonna pull the bout ball back out 1054 00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,879 Speaker 1: and he's gonna dump it into DeAndre Ayton. DeAndre Ayton 1055 00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:27,800 Speaker 1: is great at doing a quick seal and then turning 1056 00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:29,960 Speaker 1: over his left shoulder with a right handed hook, and 1057 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,080 Speaker 1: he makes it about half the time, which is a 1058 00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 1: really good way to go attacking switches. That's a dominant 1059 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,120 Speaker 1: card to have in your hand in that type of situation. 1060 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,720 Speaker 1: That's gonna be really interesting series. Again, if you guys 1061 00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,920 Speaker 1: want to see more detailed in a breakdown of this series, 1062 00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:50,200 Speaker 1: scroll down on our YouTube page. My my head tells 1063 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:55,400 Speaker 1: me that Phoenix is gonna dominate, that they're gonna win quickly, 1064 00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:59,960 Speaker 1: but I just can't. I said the same thing about 1065 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,359 Speaker 1: the Clippers series is the last two years, because they 1066 00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,960 Speaker 1: had so much more talent than Dallas in Luca, because 1067 00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,000 Speaker 1: he's one of the greatest basketball players we have in 1068 00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:11,279 Speaker 1: the league right now, just found a way through his 1069 00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:16,000 Speaker 1: greatness to drag that series out. Attacking matchups. He strangles 1070 00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,759 Speaker 1: the pace of a game in a way that disrupts 1071 00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:20,640 Speaker 1: the real The only other player I've seen in the 1072 00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:24,040 Speaker 1: league that does it to this extent is Lebron. But 1073 00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,920 Speaker 1: there's this dynamic when Luca is really in a flow 1074 00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,160 Speaker 1: that reminds me of when Lebron was in a flow. 1075 00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:32,400 Speaker 1: And Lebron still has this to a certain extent, but 1076 00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,919 Speaker 1: especially when he was in his prime, where everyone else 1077 00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,880 Speaker 1: on the floor, especially on the the other team, everybody 1078 00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,640 Speaker 1: on the other team is out of rhythm and their 1079 00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:46,560 Speaker 1: confidence dips because you just can feel that Luca slash. 1080 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,480 Speaker 1: Lebron just has like a stranglehold over the game. And 1081 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,480 Speaker 1: Luca has just done that too many times in his 1082 00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,000 Speaker 1: career for me to sit up here and say that 1083 00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:56,680 Speaker 1: the Sons are gonna get him out of here quickly. 1084 00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,239 Speaker 1: They very well might, and if they do, that'll be 1085 00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:01,440 Speaker 1: what all the evidence was pointing towards Phoenix is the 1086 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:05,759 Speaker 1: better team. But I I I think that Dallas is 1087 00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,359 Speaker 1: gonna find a way to drag this out. So I'm 1088 00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,560 Speaker 1: going Phoenix in a long, a long series. The the 1089 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 1: interesting the opportunity for Dallas to steal this series is early. 1090 00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,360 Speaker 1: Devin Booker is not a percent yet. You saw that 1091 00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,560 Speaker 1: a little bit. He made two massive shots down the 1092 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 1: stretch of that Pelicans game, a Wonder will pull up 1093 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,440 Speaker 1: to his right like a contested pull up too, and 1094 00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,360 Speaker 1: then a spot up three in the left corner, and 1095 00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,719 Speaker 1: those were massive shots, but they were not leaning on 1096 00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,600 Speaker 1: Devin Booker as like a high intensity shot creator in 1097 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:37,799 Speaker 1: those settings. It kind of looked a lot more like 1098 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,640 Speaker 1: James Harden last year in the playoffs in Brooklyn, where 1099 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:44,880 Speaker 1: he's kind of like a decoy consuming defensive attention in 1100 00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,400 Speaker 1: a spot up role, trying to make plays off the 1101 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,799 Speaker 1: bounce with this passing rather than shooting a lot because 1102 00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,200 Speaker 1: he had that hamstring issue. That's kind of like what 1103 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,400 Speaker 1: Devin Booker looked like. Chances are he's not going to 1104 00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:58,560 Speaker 1: be close to in the first few games of the series. 1105 00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,720 Speaker 1: That's your chance when your Dallas, if you can somehow 1106 00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,319 Speaker 1: get this to a three one, steal a game in 1107 00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,880 Speaker 1: Phoenix control home court when Devin Booker is limited, and 1108 00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:12,239 Speaker 1: somehow that buys you that that buys you margin for 1109 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,120 Speaker 1: error to try to steal a game later in the 1110 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,560 Speaker 1: series when Devin Booker is closer to and he gets 1111 00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:22,400 Speaker 1: cooking and the Suns get back to their full confidence 1112 00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,799 Speaker 1: on offense, that's gonna be their opportunity Dallas needs to 1113 00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:29,319 Speaker 1: get an early lead in the series. Al Right, guys, 1114 00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,920 Speaker 1: that is all I have for tonight. Don't forget to 1115 00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,200 Speaker 1: check out my Twitter feed tomorrow morning for some breakdowns 1116 00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,320 Speaker 1: of these of today's games.
