Speaker 3: What's up, everybody?
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Draymond Green Show. We are live
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Thank you all for tuning in. Make sure
Speaker 1: you drop your questions in the chat if you have
Speaker 1: some Jackson to get to a few of them before
Speaker 1: we get out of here. Man, it's an exciting time
Speaker 1: in the NBA. We got both conference finals started one
Speaker 1: game in. Both games were great games, which I think
Speaker 1: is a setup for a great series. Although Indiana let
Speaker 1: one get away. We'll talk about that. But as I said,
Speaker 1: I thank you all for tuning in and subscribing to
Speaker 1: the show. We'll continue to try to bring you new content, opinions, analysis.
Speaker 3: And just good vibes, good time. So let's get into it.
Speaker 1: I had the honor of working the game last night
Speaker 1: with my TNT family, which is always a great time.
Speaker 1: Had the opportunity to have Kyrie at the desk, which
Speaker 1: was fun, which we'll talk about.
Speaker 3: But the t Wolves far at home.
Speaker 1: In Game one to the Mavericks one o eight to
Speaker 1: one oh five, mass are up one oh Luca had
Speaker 1: thirty three eight and six on twelve for twenty six shooting,
Speaker 1: but only three for ten from three. Now we'll pay
Speaker 1: attention to that. Kyrie thirty points, four assists, five rebounds
Speaker 1: twelve for twenty three from the field, oh for three
Speaker 1: from three. A Man had nineteen points, eight assists, eleven
Speaker 1: rebounds on six for sixteen, shooting five for twelve from three.
Speaker 1: Focus only only took four two point attempts. Now, that
Speaker 1: is an indicator of something which we'll get in. But anyway,
Speaker 1: stay focused, me too. I'm talking to you, but I'm
Speaker 1: talking to myself. Well, Cat sixteen points, seven rebounds, two assists,
Speaker 1: six for twenty from the field, two for nine from three.
Speaker 1: Let them I get in that here. Keep telling you
Speaker 1: to stay focus. Well, the Timberwolves may eighteen threes. They
Speaker 1: were eighteen for forty nine from three. Dallas were five
Speaker 1: for twenty four from three, and I'm sorry they were
Speaker 1: six for twenty five from three.
Speaker 3: Now, why is that interesting?
Speaker 1: Because we've talked the ball about Dallas spreading the floor,
Speaker 1: Dallas guys needing to shoot the three. Well, we need
Speaker 1: Derek Jones Junior to play like he had been playing
Speaker 1: in the last series. We need PJ. Washington play like
Speaker 1: he's been playing the last series. We need Josh Green
Speaker 1: to step up and hit some shots. We need Tim
Speaker 1: Hardaway Junior to step up and hit some shots. That's
Speaker 1: been a discussion and I think we're all in agreeents there.
Speaker 1: And the reason that that's been a discussion is because Minnesota,
Speaker 1: there's no surprise. They play two bigs. They play Rudy
Speaker 1: and Kat together and even once one of those guys
Speaker 1: go out, they play nas Reed And so they're more
Speaker 1: of the traditional big lineup that you've seen historically in
Speaker 1: the NBA. And Dallas is PJ. Washington's at the floor.
Speaker 1: Pj's Washington shooting the ball well, Pj's Washington getting putting
Speaker 1: the ball on the floor, getting to the rim, putting
Speaker 1: the ball on the floor, getting to floaters.
Speaker 3: PJ. Washington is doing all that and in.
Speaker 1: Turn, it puts bigs and uncomtapositions to where they have
Speaker 1: to guard where they don't like the guard which is
Speaker 1: out on the floor. They're guarding closeoutse right like you're
Speaker 1: closing out PJ. Washington shooting the ball, so you got
Speaker 1: to close out to the body and if he's a
Speaker 1: step faster, then they break the defense down. Right Now,
Speaker 1: you got Rudy Gobert got a step up like and
Speaker 1: not just lost from PJ. Washington, but that is the
Speaker 1: overarching theme, right like, you're you got these guys getting downhill,
Speaker 1: whether that's off a drive kick, whether that's off a
Speaker 1: drivekick swing, whether that's off of Kyrie or Luca getting
Speaker 1: past their guy and now they're downhill at that big
Speaker 1: and they're putting a lot of pressure on the rim.
Speaker 3: Again, don't lose focus.
Speaker 1: So where I was going with that was this, Luca
Speaker 1: and Kyrie combined three for thirteen from three and Man
Speaker 1: and Kat combined five excuse me, seven for twenty one
Speaker 1: from three.
Speaker 3: Now, the problem with that is.
Speaker 1: Those two along toil twenty one threes, but forty nine
Speaker 1: threes to forty nine threes to twenty five.
Speaker 3: With the bigger team, the team that has.
Speaker 1: More size, they rely on that size way more, taking
Speaker 1: the most, the more the threes. And when we were
Speaker 1: on the show yesterday, Uh, Chuck's biggest thing was these
Speaker 1: guys are going to take a lot of threes and
Speaker 1: they need to knock those threes down. And Minnesota, he
Speaker 1: said it. Kat needs to take advantage of himself. No posting.
Speaker 1: Cat really posted up against Phoenix. Uh, he really posted
Speaker 1: up against the Clippers. Excuse me, not the Clippers. He
Speaker 1: really posted up last series against the Nuggets. And that's
Speaker 1: what he was his most dominant. He had He had
Speaker 1: times in that even especially in that Game seven, where
Speaker 1: nobody else could get anything going and he was the
Speaker 1: only one to to continue to carry that team, to
Speaker 1: continue to keep them afloat. And then obviously they got
Speaker 1: it going. They got stops, uh, they put the cuffs
Speaker 1: on Denver, and they were able to take the lead
Speaker 1: in in large part, Yeah, their offense got going, but
Speaker 1: it was in large part.
Speaker 3: Them turning defense into offense.
Speaker 1: And that's where against interesting because we've seen this this
Speaker 1: Timberwolves team all year continue to grow.
Speaker 3: But and they figured some things out.
Speaker 1: But the reality is, you do have Rudy Gobert, who
Speaker 1: who spends most of his time at the rim and
Speaker 1: the paint, and you have Kat who's on the wing.
Speaker 1: But you got a man who want to get downhill
Speaker 1: and when Rudy's in the dunker, if you have a
Speaker 1: big like Lively, if you have a big like Gaffer
Speaker 1: that don't have to that don't have to step up
Speaker 1: in order to affect a shot that can play back
Speaker 1: at the rim, because if you try to come all
Speaker 1: the way to the rim, they're athletic enough to block.
Speaker 1: And what I mean by step up, if you remember
Speaker 1: a play yesterday from the broadcast, or if you just
Speaker 1: you know, remember it from the top of your mind.
Speaker 1: Luca Drove he had. I can't remember who exactly was
Speaker 1: on him, but he drove. Maybe Kyle Anderson possibly, but
Speaker 1: he drove, and Jada McDaniel stepped up off the guy
Speaker 1: in the dunker. The guy in the dunker is the
Speaker 1: guy that's like right near the rim outside the paint.
Speaker 1: There's a little line right there that's called the dunker spot.
Speaker 1: And you got the guy in the dunker. And I
Speaker 1: always talk to you all about the guy in the
Speaker 1: dunker being a live threat. Is it?
Speaker 3: He does the same thing.
Speaker 1: For your space and as if you have a three
Speaker 1: point shooter, obviously not as much space because that's less
Speaker 1: ground to cover.
Speaker 3: But you can't leave.
Speaker 1: The bodies like Klay Thompson on the wing you lead,
Speaker 1: the body is over for you.
Speaker 3: You can't leave the body of a live threat.
Speaker 1: And Jada McDaniels, who's uncomfortable being in that position, stepped
Speaker 1: up and Lively got the dunk. Luca dropped it right
Speaker 1: underneath Lively got the dump. Well, Gaffer and Lively don't
Speaker 1: have to do that when the Timberwolves drive, because they're
Speaker 1: big enough to stay back. They're more comfortable in that position,
Speaker 1: and you don't want to give up the live we
Speaker 1: saw how many lives Minnesota gave up last night, and
Speaker 1: that's a recipe for disaster because it's such a high
Speaker 1: percentage play Like Gaffer and Lively, lives are probably in
Speaker 1: seventy five eighty percent play for them, if not higher.
Speaker 3: And so.
Speaker 1: When you're giving that up consistently, what is doing in
Speaker 1: your defense is brutal like because now you got guys
Speaker 1: that's going to overreact or not right. And I don't
Speaker 1: think they ever overreacted to it, which was a problem
Speaker 1: because they just kept getting dunks. The only time they
Speaker 1: stopped getting dunks was when towards the end of the game,
Speaker 1: Minnesota finally came up to the level of the screen
Speaker 1: and start level of the screen and start trapping it.
Speaker 1: And once they start trapping it, obviously that's a long
Speaker 1: way for that big to row. They weren't getting the
Speaker 1: libs anymore. But to trap like that all game, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure that that's a very sustainable covers like we've
Speaker 1: seen that for years. We've seen teams try to trap
Speaker 1: Steph all game. And if like you just put counters in,
Speaker 1: if you put you know, different outlets in and different
Speaker 1: things like that, to the trap is dead. And you're
Speaker 1: always a man down and very lively is very underrated
Speaker 1: in the pocket. Like that kid, I've watched him over
Speaker 1: and over and over again make the right play in
Speaker 1: the pocket, and I've said at times, you know, I
Speaker 1: think he's not aggressive enough, but he seemed to get
Speaker 1: more aggressive. He's not eur on in the pocket, he's
Speaker 1: looking to go finish and he's still making that kickout.
Speaker 1: And when you're so if your adjustment is going to
Speaker 1: be to trap, you're always a man down.
Speaker 3: And for a team that has kind of built themselves.
Speaker 1: On the defensive side of basketball to just have to
Speaker 1: trap and be a man down, every player is troublesome,
Speaker 1: that's bothersome, that's a problem. But their standard pick and
Speaker 1: roll coverage is a drop. And when you're it's funny.
Speaker 1: It was funny or not funny, but just very interesting.
Speaker 1: And playing with CP this year because CP, he would
Speaker 1: always talk about the drop coverage, and like you know, CP,
Speaker 1: throughout the course of his careers has seen drops all
Speaker 1: the time. I haven't seen many teams play drop coverage
Speaker 1: because no one's dropping versus steph And if you drop
Speaker 1: verse step then I'll just nail your guy on the screen.
Speaker 3: And he's going to come off wide open, and who
Speaker 3: wants that?
Speaker 1: And so everybody's always up at the levels of the
Speaker 1: screen with Steph trapping stuff. So I haven't seen many
Speaker 1: drop coverages live because that's just never However, if you
Speaker 1: watch Chris Paul play throughout the course of his career,
Speaker 1: he's lived in the mid range, and in part because
Speaker 1: Biggs would always be in the drop and CP would
Speaker 1: talk to me just about how bad the drop coverage was,
Speaker 1: and like he's like, I could get any shot at
Speaker 1: want versus a drop every time. And that's the thing
Speaker 1: when you're playing against great guards, in which Dallas has
Speaker 1: two great guards, and when you're playing that drop coverage
Speaker 1: the whole game Number one, these guys coming off every
Speaker 1: play on you in the drop.
Speaker 3: It's too much of a steady diet.
Speaker 1: You give any any great guard in this league a
Speaker 1: steady diet of anything, they're gonna eat it up. And
Speaker 1: that's what Luca and Kyrie they had. They picked their poison,
Speaker 1: they had their way in the pick and roll. So
Speaker 1: what what is your adjustment, Well, you can say all
Speaker 1: they got to come up to the level of the screen,
Speaker 1: and that's not really Rudy's strength. However, I think Rudy
Speaker 1: has been a lot better this year with being up
Speaker 1: at the level of the screen and not just getting
Speaker 1: his I dotted from guards that's coming off the screen
Speaker 1: because he's.
Speaker 3: In a drop.
Speaker 1: I think he's done a lot better this year moving
Speaker 1: his feet when he gets out on the perimeterive even
Speaker 1: if it's a switch, he's been pressing up. He's not
Speaker 1: just letting the guy rhythm rhythm to death, like he's
Speaker 1: forcing guys to make the next action. And even if
Speaker 1: that next action is forcing this guy to blow by me.
Speaker 1: Now I'm running back into the play, essentially going weak side.
Speaker 1: I can get a rebound.
Speaker 3: I could possibly catch up and get a week side
Speaker 3: block if there's a drop off.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. But the drop coverage, the drop coverage
Speaker 1: against great guards, it's a recipe for a disaster. And
Speaker 1: especially like I said, great guards, like we have great
Speaker 1: guards in this league, that mid range isn't great Kyrie
Speaker 1: and Luca mid range and so if you're going to
Speaker 1: give them that every time, it's too like it's too
Speaker 1: easy for them. And even once you panic the decided
Speaker 1: I maybe I'm gonna take the shot away. All it
Speaker 1: takes is a half a second for that role guy
Speaker 1: to get an inch behind you. And if they're athletic
Speaker 1: that like Derek Lively, like Daniel Goffer, even if you're
Speaker 1: seven three like Rudy Gobert, it's just impossible to catch
Speaker 1: up because once your weight go a little bit this
Speaker 1: way and that guy is rolling this way, it's impossible
Speaker 1: for you to then get back up in the air
Speaker 1: with a guy who's diving full speed, athletic as hell,
Speaker 1: and you take one step this way.
Speaker 3: Because oh, I'm.
Speaker 1: A little worried about Luka Doncis with this basketball and
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the paint. I am scared
Speaker 1: shitless of Kyrie Irving with this basketball right in the
Speaker 1: middle of the paint, because I know the damage that
Speaker 1: they've done. They they got mid range and floaters to
Speaker 1: death again, thirty three points and thirty points. Kyrie didn't
Speaker 1: hit a single three and Luca hit three, so it
Speaker 1: wasn't the three that was killing them.
Speaker 3: They actually got to the paint.
Speaker 1: Sixty two points in the paint Dallas had versus thirty
Speaker 1: eight points versus the Wolves. Excuse me for the Wolves,
Speaker 1: and again, what we've emphasized is the Wolves being the
Speaker 1: team with the most size. However, they don't necessarily always
Speaker 1: score off that size. Like, even with the size, you're
Speaker 1: not really throwing the ball into Rudy Gobert. They threw
Speaker 1: it into him a few times last night. And I'm
Speaker 1: not sure a lot of teams go down by points
Speaker 1: per possession, right, Like our ppp? What was our points
Speaker 1: per possession when Rudy caught the ball in the pocket?
Speaker 1: What was our points per possession? If Rudy caught the
Speaker 1: ball and he had to make a move. I'd imagine
Speaker 1: the points per possession for them was probably eight something
Speaker 1: when Rudy caught the ball in And for those of
Speaker 1: you that don't understand these one like point like, what
Speaker 1: the hell is he talking about? So say, if my
Speaker 1: points per possession is point eighty seven, what that means
Speaker 1: is every hundred possessions with like you're scoring eighty seven
Speaker 1: points over the course of one hundred possession. That's that's
Speaker 1: less Obviously point a seven is less than a point
Speaker 1: per possession.
Speaker 3: That's not going to get the job done. And so.
Speaker 1: They've got to figure out a how to get at
Speaker 1: Man Downhill and Dallas has been the best defensive team. Uh.
Speaker 1: Pretty much last quarter of the season and through the
Speaker 1: playoffs they've been incredible. They've they're hanging their hat on
Speaker 1: the defensive side of basketball, which is why they could
Speaker 1: win a game like last night on the road. Kyrie
Speaker 1: played well, Luka peip well in stretches. I thought Lucas
Speaker 1: started off great, Luca hit a big law, Luca came
Speaker 1: back and did what Luca does and closed them out.
Speaker 3: Well. The problem with that is.
Speaker 1: Kyrie not going to keep on over three from three,
Speaker 1: Dallas not going to keep going six to twenty five
Speaker 1: from three, and Minnesota shot a very respectable eighteen for
Speaker 1: forty nine. So what can Minnesota do to get at
Speaker 1: Man downhill?
Speaker 3: Because ant Man spent a lot of time on the perimeter.
Speaker 1: Now, what I will say is this, we look at
Speaker 1: the last two games of at They're not his best
Speaker 1: displays of basketball, and you start to ask yourself the
Speaker 1: question is fatigue setting in because this is their first
Speaker 1: time going through a run like this, and you know,
Speaker 1: you had a very tough series of r September where
Speaker 1: you had to pull out everything that you had in order.
Speaker 3: To just get over the finish line.
Speaker 1: And I heard something that those guys were saying last night,
Speaker 1: and again I hinted at this on the broadcast.
Speaker 3: Was I heard a man say, you know, I'm tired.
Speaker 1: I was tired, and I said right there during the broadcast,
Speaker 1: like listen, I have.
Speaker 3: I've been very, very very.
Speaker 1: Big on a man's interviews after these games, and the
Speaker 1: reason being is because I know what those interviews mean,
Speaker 1: like when you're in a playoff series, I know what
Speaker 1: that means. Number One, I'm looking for any little edge
Speaker 1: I can get. So if that means watching one of
Speaker 1: your interviews to get an edge, damn it, I'm watching.
Speaker 1: And what can that edge be? That aedge can be
Speaker 1: one of many things, but most importantly one thing that
Speaker 1: can come from watching an interview is you spot weakness.
Speaker 1: And I thought, the great young leader that a man
Speaker 1: is and blossoming into and I think he's gonna be
Speaker 1: one of the best. I thought he showed weakness in
Speaker 1: the interview last night for the first time.
Speaker 3: And I said it on the broadcast. I'm like, yo,
Speaker 3: he said he's tired.
Speaker 1: You know he said this, He said that I don't
Speaker 1: like that from a man because the ant man we've
Speaker 1: saw this playoffs long and all his career is the
Speaker 1: bravado is Nah, I messed this up.
Speaker 3: I did this. We gotta be better. Nah, I was tired.
Speaker 3: We tired and couldn't get up. We didn't have enough
Speaker 3: like Nah, that's that's showing a little bit of weakness.
Speaker 1: And guess what, kat Rudy, they're not known as the
Speaker 1: toughest guys. No disrespect either one of them is just
Speaker 1: not what their mo is. And what a man I
Speaker 1: think has done for them is he's given them a
Speaker 1: sense of purpose. He's given them a sense of confidence.
Speaker 1: He's given them like some dog. He's given them that.
Speaker 1: And that's what a great leader does. But guess what
Speaker 1: the moment a great leader shows weakness, what does Cat
Speaker 1: follow up? What does Cat follow up within his press conference? Oh,
Speaker 1: he was tired. And as a leader, that's where you
Speaker 1: have to be careful because you start to give guys out.
Speaker 3: And man would never look for.
Speaker 1: It out, but that don't mean nobody else on his
Speaker 1: team will.
Speaker 3: And so you start to give guys out.
Speaker 1: You don't want to give guys out because guess what
Speaker 1: if I'm the Dallas Mavericks, I'm watching that and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: they tired, get greedy, come back in game too, greedy.
Speaker 3: We're coming back in game two for blood.
Speaker 1: We're coming back for blood because if we can win
Speaker 1: game two, then the idea is, oh, we can go
Speaker 1: home and close this out. It's never that easy, not
Speaker 1: sitting here saying the Timberwolves are about to get swept.
Speaker 1: But that's gotta be the mindset, and that will be
Speaker 1: the mindset. So stay focused, ray Man. So now if
Speaker 1: you're the Dallas Maveris and you're like, yo, we shot
Speaker 1: twenty four percent from three, making six threes and we
Speaker 1: just won this game on the road, you gotta feel like,
Speaker 1: if you Dallas, we're gonna shoot better than that. We're
Speaker 1: gonna even play offensively better than we did, because the
Speaker 1: only guys that really played well offensively was Kyrie, Luca
Speaker 1: and Spurts, Lively and Gaffer getting dunks libs that's it
Speaker 1: versus the drop coverage. So it'll be interesting to see
Speaker 1: what Minnesota's adjustment will be. I think Kat was incredible
Speaker 1: last series. He did a great job of Garden Joker.
Speaker 1: He was the reason that they were able to win
Speaker 1: that series because Rudy was having a tough time with Joker.
Speaker 1: And I think we all have tough times with different matchups,
Speaker 1: and that was a tough ass matchup for Joker, as
Speaker 1: I mean for Rudy, as Joker is for most people.
Speaker 3: But Cat did an incredible job. Now, one of the
Speaker 3: things Cat didn't really have to guard versus.
Speaker 1: The Denver Nuggets, though, was the pick and roll. You're like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, right, like Joker and Murray pick and roll.
Speaker 1: They didn't guard it.
Speaker 3: That way though.
Speaker 1: What they did was they stayed body tight for the
Speaker 1: most part to Joker coming off the screen or rotated
Speaker 1: the guy to take him away and force the skip pass.
Speaker 3: But what they did a lot of times.
Speaker 1: Was just let Jamal Murray turn the corner with very
Speaker 1: minimal help from Joker's guy. The Cat stand body tight,
Speaker 1: and when they was getting the help from the bottom
Speaker 1: side Aaron Gordon and the Dunker, well, guess what, that
Speaker 1: guy in the Dunker isn't a big setting the screen
Speaker 1: and Aaron Gordon anymore. It's guard guard screen with Lively
Speaker 1: and the Dunker. But it's not even really Lively Er
Speaker 1: gafferd than the Dunker. It's still setting a screen and rolling,
Speaker 1: which means, now your pick and roll covers matter. And
Speaker 1: I don't think Kat is as strong in pick and
Speaker 1: roll coverage as he was in Garden Joker on the
Speaker 1: posts as he was when he you know, he didn't
Speaker 1: have to help on Jamar Murray's pick and rolls because
Speaker 1: you had Aaron Gordon and a dunker and they were
Speaker 1: getting the help from there.
Speaker 3: And so now it's a different series.
Speaker 1: Now you got and by the way, Jamal Murray is great,
Speaker 1: but he is Jamar Murray is very good player in
Speaker 1: this league. But he's not Kyrie Irving and he's not
Speaker 1: Luka Dancics, and so that's a different beast now. And
Speaker 1: the objective with these screens now is totally different than
Speaker 1: what the objective was for the Denver Nuggets, right, Like
Speaker 1: the objective for the Denver Nuggets could be to actually
Speaker 1: hit Joker in the pocket, right like, well, Dallas is
Speaker 1: hitting the pocket. But they're in the pocket because that's
Speaker 1: the next right play, not because they're trying to get
Speaker 1: Lively the ball in the pocket or trying to get
Speaker 1: Gafford the ball in the pocket.
Speaker 3: That's just the next play.
Speaker 1: Excuse me. So totally different series. I think Minnesota's adjustment
Speaker 1: is going to have to be this more Kyle Anderson
Speaker 1: I said before the game. This has to be a
Speaker 1: big Kyle Anderson series. I still believe that Kyle Anderson
Speaker 1: comes out against eleven points in the first half, didn't
Speaker 1: do much in the second half. But I also didn't
Speaker 1: think he played as much in the second half. And
Speaker 1: so here's what you have to process. You probably look
Speaker 1: at it like, why didn't Kyle Anderson get more minutes
Speaker 1: he had eleven Well, here's the thing. Kyle Anderson had
Speaker 1: two average two points and two rebounds the first two series.
Speaker 1: So when those coaches are making their lineups for the
Speaker 1: games for this series, they're like, man, Kyle's been struggling.
Speaker 3: He's only average in two and.
Speaker 1: Two, and so you slot them in to play more
Speaker 1: minutes in the first half because you want to give
Speaker 1: your guys more of a breather in the first half
Speaker 1: than the second half, because second half you may have
Speaker 1: to run your dogs. So they got them sloted to
Speaker 1: play some minutes in the first half. He doesn't play
Speaker 1: a ton in the second half. But why is that? Well,
Speaker 1: why that is is because he's been struggling. And so
Speaker 1: if you're that coaching you're making the lineup, you're like
Speaker 1: a will get Kyles from going the first half to
Speaker 1: buy some minutes, but not in the second half. And
Speaker 1: this happens often, and the reason it happens often is
Speaker 1: because again coaches you see. You may see coaches, not
Speaker 1: the head coaches. You may see coaches on the bench
Speaker 1: with a sheet of paper or an iPad, And what's
Speaker 1: on that iPad or that sheet of paper is their rotations.
Speaker 1: Draymond's playing from the start of the first quarter to
Speaker 1: the seven minute mark, he's coming out to the two
Speaker 1: minute markis back from two to the age seven minute mark,
Speaker 1: he's out to the four or five minute market, then
Speaker 1: he closes the half.
Speaker 3: And that's what be on these papers, like the substitution patterns.
Speaker 1: A lot of coaches struggle to scrap that substitution pattern.
Speaker 1: And in a game where I thought they could have
Speaker 1: used Kyle Anderson more, you don't have Kyle Anderson slotted
Speaker 1: to play those minutes. And it's hard for these coaches
Speaker 1: to look at that paper saying no Kyle playing, Well,
Speaker 1: scrap this because then it can adjust, it can throw
Speaker 1: off your rotation somewhere else. Right, Like you got analytics
Speaker 1: that go into these things, you got coaches like, oh,
Speaker 1: we need to get to this five man lineup because
Speaker 1: there's been our strongest file lineup.
Speaker 3: Well, if we do it this way, then we don't.
Speaker 1: Get this up. Like there's more that goes into it
Speaker 1: than just who's playing well. But I also feel like
Speaker 1: at times like you have to be able to make
Speaker 1: that adjustment like this guy is helping us. And so
Speaker 1: I said all of that to say, one of the
Speaker 1: adjustments that I think needs to happen is Kyle Anderson
Speaker 1: need to play more. And that may even mean Rudy
Speaker 1: Gobert off the bench. Now I know what you're gonna say.
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert had the highest plus minus on the team
Speaker 1: last night or close to it. It wasn't Rudy Gobert's fault.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it is Rudy go Beart's fault.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is they have a matchup issue. So
Speaker 1: do you take Cat to the bench or do you
Speaker 1: take Rudy to the bench. But I'm gonna say Rudy
Speaker 1: because even if Cat's struggling defensively, what he can give you.
Speaker 3: Offensively is totally different.
Speaker 1: And now if you got Kat as the only big
Speaker 1: Cat can pick and roll, Cat can pick and pop,
Speaker 1: it opens the floor up more, but less about Rudy
Speaker 1: and more about why I think this adjustment should happen. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Rudy was in the drop, he gave up lose. We
Speaker 1: talked about that, but that's not actually why I think
Speaker 1: the adjustment needs to happen. I think the adjustment needs
Speaker 1: to happen because you gotta get a man off Kyrie.
Speaker 3: No, not because Kyrie had thirty had a great night.
Speaker 1: No, not because ant Man can't guard them, although I
Speaker 1: don't think anybody can guard Kyrie if I'm honest, But
Speaker 1: because did you see ant Man towards the end of
Speaker 1: the game. He was cooked. He could barely get up
Speaker 1: and down the floor. He was gasping for air. And
Speaker 1: I get it. Just play a tough gains seven game
Speaker 1: series and then you come out two nights later chasing
Speaker 1: old Kyrie, irving around Uncle Drew.
Speaker 3: Well, guess what that is?
Speaker 1: Disaster because Kyrie never stops moving and when he gets
Speaker 1: the ball, it's downhill at you. Every time I'm attacking,
Speaker 1: looking for an angle, go this way, you cut me off.
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to get downhill that way and I
Speaker 1: can get there. And Kyrie was aggressive from the start
Speaker 1: last night and it took a toll.
Speaker 3: On am Man. I don't think ant Man had much.
Speaker 1: Like even the threes he made, it looked like he
Speaker 1: was pushing him there like it looked like he was
Speaker 1: doing all he could to get him there. And like
Speaker 1: I said, he putting no pressure on the rim. So
Speaker 1: in turn, they finished with thirty eight points in the
Speaker 1: paint versus a small Dallas Mavericks team. So the reason
Speaker 1: the adjustment needs to be made is because I think
Speaker 1: you need to get him off of Kyrie. And so
Speaker 1: the adjustment that would be made is then Kyle Anderson
Speaker 1: would be on Luca, Jaden McDaniels would go to Kyrie.
Speaker 1: What that does is you put more size on Luca. No,
Speaker 1: I don't. And by the way, the thinking is, I
Speaker 1: need to save ed Man's legs for the other side.
Speaker 1: And I know you want to play two way, but
Speaker 1: right now we're trying to win a championship. So the
Speaker 1: saying about your pride or anything like that, this is
Speaker 1: about the adjustments that we need to make to win
Speaker 1: a championship.
Speaker 3: If you do that, now.
Speaker 1: You got Luca being guarded by Kyle and you got
Speaker 1: Jayden guardan Kyrie.
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone.
Speaker 1: Either one of those guys are gonna stop Luka or Kyrie.
Speaker 3: But guess what, I don't think man gonna stop Kyrie.
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's gonna stop Kyrie, and I don't
Speaker 1: think anybody's gonna stop Luca. They may have a bad
Speaker 1: game or two, but this is a seven game series.
Speaker 1: But my point is you have very respectable defenders. Jade
Speaker 1: McDaniel's All Defense Team. Congrats to him on that, well deserved.
Speaker 1: That's gonna hold his own again. He ain't gonna stop Kyrie,
Speaker 1: but he gonna hold his own. Kyle Anderson ain't stopping
Speaker 1: Luca by any stretch of the imagination, but he gonna
Speaker 1: hold his own. He gonna make Luca work. And guess what,
Speaker 1: that's all you can ask for. You want to make
Speaker 1: these guys work. You want to tire them out a
Speaker 1: little bit. And so I got two guys that can
Speaker 1: make these guys work. Now we can get our defense
Speaker 1: settled in. Now we can get on the other end
Speaker 1: and doing what he needs to do. But if chasing
Speaker 1: around Kyrie the whole series, that's going to take a toll.
Speaker 1: And they don't have enough scoring, enough shot creation elsewhere
Speaker 1: outside of a man for him to not have the
Speaker 1: legs to do that.
Speaker 3: And so that's why I think the adjustment needs to be.
Speaker 1: Made less about although I don't like the drop coverage,
Speaker 1: but less about Rudy and the drop, less about any
Speaker 1: of that stuff, and more about their matchups on the
Speaker 1: other end.
Speaker 3: So that's kind of what I got there.
Speaker 1: But if you're the timber Wolves, you leave that game
Speaker 1: not feeling great and you can say, oh, cat didn't
Speaker 1: shot well, and then shoot, well, that's fine, but now
Speaker 1: today and they won this game still on the road,
Speaker 1: so you don't feel great coming away if you're the
Speaker 1: timber Wolves. And if I'm Dallas, I feel immaculum because
Speaker 1: we just came and took one that we shouldn't probably
Speaker 1: have won the way we played collectively, but the defense
Speaker 1: was great and the Stars made plays when they had
Speaker 1: to make them when they needed the most. And moving on,
Speaker 1: we got to Celtics beating the Pacers. I don't know
Speaker 1: how to happen one thirty three to one twenty eight
Speaker 1: and overtime to take a one to ozer League again,
Speaker 1: I don't know how to happen. J T thirty six,
Speaker 1: twelve and four Jason excuse me. Jalen twenty six, seven
Speaker 1: and five, Drew twenty eight, eight and seven, Holly Burdon
Speaker 1: had twenty five and ten, Pascal twenty four to twelve
Speaker 1: and seven. What is my biggest takeaway from this game?
Speaker 1: My biggest takeaway from this game? Number one is Al
Speaker 1: Horford in the pick and roll. I've said it over
Speaker 1: and over again. I told you guys when we played
Speaker 1: Boston in the finals two years ago. It got to
Speaker 1: a point in the series where Steph literally said, yo,
Speaker 1: bring me him, and the rest is history. Steph Curr's
Speaker 1: Finals MVP go to Stay Warriors champion because Steph realized
Speaker 1: in that series that Al Horford couldn't guard the pick
Speaker 1: and roll. If he was in a drop, he didn't
Speaker 1: affect anything because Steph coming off, Steph can shoot, Steph
Speaker 1: can get downhill at him. It's not big enough and
Speaker 1: he's not blocking shots. If he switched good night Irene,
Speaker 1: it's over. Curtains closed, case closed, it's sober because Al
Speaker 1: can't move to stay in front of Steph on the switch.
Speaker 1: So Steph literally said bring me him, put him in
Speaker 1: a blender, and we went on to win a championship.
Speaker 1: Problem with that is Al Horford is two years older
Speaker 1: than he was then and father time takes his course
Speaker 1: and so he's not moving today as well as he
Speaker 1: was two years ago. And this is no disrespect of
Speaker 1: shots at Al Horford. This is just the reality without
Speaker 1: porzingis they really struggle to guard the pick and roll
Speaker 1: because you just bringing Allen to the pick and roller
Speaker 1: and guys are taking their pick.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: I think what you have to do if your Boston
Speaker 1: is when they bring Allen to these pick and rolls
Speaker 1: with Holly, just switch them. Holly is not Steph Curry,
Speaker 1: is not missing as much as Steph Curry. And the
Speaker 1: goal should be just to get him to his left hand.
Speaker 1: Like al don't react to all of these crossovers. He
Speaker 1: going to go left and then try to get back right.
Speaker 1: Don't overreact to that. Just send him left a lot
Speaker 1: like we did Jalen and Marcus and Derek and JT
Speaker 1: in the finals. We sent them left. We send them
Speaker 1: all left. Just get him to his left hand. Our
Speaker 1: help will be built in there. That may be what
Speaker 1: they have to do, but man that that that's.
Speaker 3: Tough, because what's the alternative?
Speaker 1: Luke Cornett, So they really need poor zingis back, and
Speaker 1: I know, you know, we can go on and on
Speaker 1: about it, like can't can't sit here, and you can
Speaker 1: only hope for it that he that he does make
Speaker 1: it back. And the thing is, it may not catch
Speaker 1: you this series. It didn't catch you last year's blest.
Speaker 1: Some point it catches up to you, and so I
Speaker 1: think that's an issue. I think another issue is the
Speaker 1: Celtics offense. It's almost very it's over relying on Jason
Speaker 1: to create a tough shot or a good shot or
Speaker 1: whatever shot. Jalen Took create a tough shot or a
Speaker 1: good shot or whatever shot, and Drew or Derek White,
Speaker 1: it's just created. Their offense is built on God's creating
Speaker 1: shots and that gets tougher and tougher as these runs
Speaker 1: go on. Now again, I don't think the Indiana Pacers
Speaker 1: can beat them, although they just let a golden opportunity
Speaker 1: to get away.
Speaker 3: And it's stuff like.
Speaker 1: That that could be the difference in like a six
Speaker 1: game series or a seven game series, in a four
Speaker 1: or five game series, when you let games go like
Speaker 1: that and you're already not the better team.
Speaker 3: So that's a big issue for Indiana.
Speaker 1: To just let a golden opportunity go by the wayside
Speaker 1: on the game that you should have won. Now we
Speaker 1: can talk all the things right, like should have filed
Speaker 1: up three, should have taken the time out in advanced
Speaker 1: the ball you had Andrew Nimhart taking the ball out.
Speaker 1: Why didn't you put TJ. McConnell and let TJ McConnell
Speaker 1: take the ball out.
Speaker 3: We can go on all these things.
Speaker 1: The fact of the matter is they let a golden
Speaker 1: opportunity go the way go to waste. And it's hard
Speaker 1: to make those opportunities up in the conference finals, especially
Speaker 1: when you're not the better team.
Speaker 3: And so.
Speaker 1: If I'm the Indiana Pacers, I'm looking like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: we can really beat these guys. We obviously had them
Speaker 1: beat We let one get away. You feel good about that,
Speaker 1: but you also know better, like a.
Speaker 3: You know the real. You ain't got to tell nobody
Speaker 3: you know the real, but you know the real. And so.
Speaker 1: I think again, I think they have to overemphasize getting
Speaker 1: these guys to their left hands, making them take tough shots,
Speaker 1: playing boxes and elbows, not turning.
Speaker 3: The ball over.
Speaker 1: I thought Indiana had a lot of unforced turnovers. Boston's
Speaker 1: running off those. You turn it over. They're they're getting
Speaker 1: the two probably three, so you can't turn the ball over.
Speaker 1: But just like the Dallas and Timberwell's series, I think
Speaker 1: Dallas beat the Timberwoods at their own game last night,
Speaker 1: the Celtics actually beat the Pacers at their own game.
Speaker 1: One eight is a game that favors the Pacers. Celtics
Speaker 1: beat them at their own game. And so, like I said,
Speaker 1: if you're if you're Indiana, you feel you feel good
Speaker 1: about it. You ultimately know, like, ah, we let one
Speaker 1: get away, But how much do they really believe? That'll
Speaker 1: show how they come out in Game two. Now, they'll
Speaker 1: come out, they'll punching. Boston gotta be ready to take
Speaker 1: that first blow. They'll punch again. Boston gotta be ready
Speaker 1: for that. But you just gotta stay the course. However,
Speaker 1: if I'm Boston, though, I'm like, yo, we just got
Speaker 1: away with one. We gotta come out to smack these boys,
Speaker 1: and we got to come out and make a statement,
Speaker 1: send a message, because we really just like we skated
Speaker 1: out of there with one that we shouldn't have. So
Speaker 1: now it's time for us to come back and play
Speaker 1: well and send a message. And that's gotta be the
Speaker 1: mind set for Boston. And if you Indiana, you still
Speaker 1: got none to lose. Yeah, you got away, you let
Speaker 1: one get away, but you got nothing to lose. So
Speaker 1: take your free swing. Everybody's expecting you to lose. Go
Speaker 1: play lose, Go play free. We need guys getting shots out,
Speaker 1: We need guys playing with a lot of energy, and
Speaker 1: we need to get these guys that their left hands.
Speaker 3: It's the conference finals now, Saint the.
Speaker 1: First round where guys still get away with a little bit,
Speaker 1: the Saint the second round where you get away with
Speaker 1: a little less. This is the conference finals. Now we
Speaker 1: know what you're trying to do, and our game plan
Speaker 1: should be tight as ever. Get these guys to their
Speaker 1: left hands. Let's see what they can do.
Speaker 3: As Bill Belichick say, make them play left handed, literally
Speaker 3: and figuratively.
Speaker 1: That's gotta be the goal for Indiana. Come out, swing,
Speaker 1: play your game, get up and down, stop turning the
Speaker 1: ball over and let the chips fall ward they may.
Speaker 1: We had all NBA teams last night announced first team
Speaker 1: SGA Joker, Luca Jannis and J T.
Speaker 3: Second Team Brunson and man KD. Kawhi and A D.
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis.
Speaker 1: Third Team bron Steph Sabonus, Holly Burdon, and d Book.
Speaker 1: The biggest surprise, the biggest snuff. I think the biggest
Speaker 1: surprise for me was Steph Curry being on third team
Speaker 1: and not being on second team. I also thought a
Speaker 1: big surprise for me was the Boston Celtics only getting one.
Speaker 1: I thought Jaylen Brown played well enough to be All NBA,
Speaker 1: didn't make it. I thought Tyres Maxi played well enough
Speaker 1: to be All NBA, didn't quite make it. Uh, those
Speaker 1: are the two guys that I would say probably could
Speaker 1: have made r NBA. But like who do you take off?
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't see who who takes who comes off, So
Speaker 1: it's just ultimately you run out of spots. But I
Speaker 1: did think Jaylen Brown would be on there. And you
Speaker 1: know it's crazy because the I always say, man, the
Speaker 1: meter moves like you think, like, oh, they won sixty
Speaker 1: plus games, they dominated, they won the one see by
Speaker 1: a long mile, they get two. Because when you look
Speaker 1: at all defense teams or defense like team defenses being
Speaker 1: good with the exception winby being on off first team,
Speaker 1: and their team defense was abitscimal. You get rewarded for
Speaker 1: those things. And the Boston Celtics don't seem to be
Speaker 1: rewarded for their success as a team. And obviously Jalen
Speaker 1: played well, and so that's probably excuse me that that's
Speaker 1: probably the one that I look at and be like, ah,
Speaker 1: maybe they could have got too in, maybe they should
Speaker 1: have got two in. But for the most part, I
Speaker 1: think this is a great list. Congratulations to all those
Speaker 1: guys that made our NBA well deserved honor. Shout out
Speaker 1: to a man and Tyrese Halliburn and them boys made
Speaker 1: forty one million dollars yesterday by making all NBA. Because
Speaker 1: their rookie scale extensions, they're able to get a percentage
Speaker 1: of the cap. So they made forty one million dollars yesterday.
Speaker 1: So congratsants, shout out to them boys. Love to see it,
Speaker 1: love to see guys make their money. Before we get
Speaker 1: out of here, need to toss it to Jackson for
Speaker 1: a couple of questions and then we will say peace
Speaker 1: and I will see y'all tomorrow from the set.
Speaker 5: Thank you to everyone who's in the chat chiming again
Speaker 5: and asking questions. We're going to answer a few every
Speaker 5: time we go live. First, let's go I think this
Speaker 5: is pretty relevant to the show today from t Why
Speaker 5: do teams continue to drop if it has so many downsizes?
Speaker 5: What advantages does it break?
Speaker 3: Ah?
Speaker 1: Well, teams do it because ultimately they don't want their
Speaker 1: bigs out at the perimeter, because those bigs are uncomfortable
Speaker 1: out there. And so you go into a drop essentially
Speaker 1: to keep everything in front of you, but keeping Kyrie.
Speaker 1: Like if you're in the drop and Luca come off,
Speaker 1: Luca's defender, Luca's gonna put the defender in jail?
Speaker 3: What do I mean by that?
Speaker 1: One he comes off the screen, he then takes one
Speaker 1: step over and locks Jaden McDaniels or whoever it is
Speaker 1: behind him. And now you got the big all the
Speaker 1: way down the floor and dropping this guy behind him
Speaker 1: and he's getting to the floater, big step up be
Speaker 1: getting to the lot. And then you'll see Jaden McDaniels
Speaker 1: maybe tak an angle or somebody else maybe take like
Speaker 1: this big looping angle to get all the way around
Speaker 1: the screen and around Luca and then lucas just step back.
Speaker 3: Gotcha eye? And so what do I think the drop
Speaker 3: opens up the world? I think the whole world opens
Speaker 3: up in the drop?
Speaker 1: Uh, But yeah, they do it because the bigs are
Speaker 1: more comfortable in it. But again, if you're playing against
Speaker 1: great guards, drop coverage just don't work.
Speaker 5: Next question from rashaanah Maud. How big of an impact
Speaker 5: do you think Kyrie's experience is going to be this
Speaker 5: year for the Mavericks, not just his play, but his
Speaker 5: experience in these moments.
Speaker 1: Well, his experience has already been huge. His leadership has
Speaker 1: been incredible. He knows when to take over a game,
Speaker 1: when to sit back. And I think what you get
Speaker 1: to see Kyrie in as a role in a lot
Speaker 1: like when he played with Lebron, which is Luca being Lebron,
Speaker 1: Luca being Luke obviously, but you get the point, and
Speaker 1: Ki doing what Kay does. And so I think his
Speaker 1: experience is huge. You know, you heard him talk about
Speaker 1: it last night. None of our guys been in the
Speaker 1: conference finals. Before most of our guys I knew they'd
Speaker 1: had him nerve, so I had to be aggressive right away.
Speaker 3: That's experienced, like a man.
Speaker 1: Couldn't tell you that because he hasn't been to the
Speaker 1: conference finals, right Like no shot at end man. That's
Speaker 1: just the reality. And so that experience does make a difference.
Speaker 1: I think it'll continue to make a difference. But like,
Speaker 1: forget the experience, Kyrie is just that good and his
Speaker 1: him being that good is also what makes the difference.
Speaker 5: Let's go to from lane. How much of a difference
Speaker 5: is regular season defense versus playoff defense? How does it differ?
Speaker 1: Actually, go Bert, you also get to use like a
Speaker 1: lot more hands, you get to be more physical, and
Speaker 1: more importantly, I'm locked in on you like I play
Speaker 1: you in the regular season. This made me my fourth
Speaker 1: game in seven nights. I don't really care about what
Speaker 1: set you're running, but when I'm playing you for a
Speaker 1: seven game series, I know every set you're running, I
Speaker 1: know every tendency you have, and so there's far more
Speaker 1: preparation for these playoff games than they are in a
Speaker 1: regular season. So you get you see guys get off
Speaker 1: in the regular season, defend well.
Speaker 3: In the regular season, but vice versa. On offense.
Speaker 1: Man, if I'm an offensive guy and I'm playing against
Speaker 1: your defense, I know your defensive tendencies. I'm locked in
Speaker 1: on those, and that just brings a different beast and
Speaker 1: then you end up having to play more off instinct sometimes,
Speaker 1: And like the reality is a lot of guys don't
Speaker 1: have great instinct, So then they get stuck in the
Speaker 1: blender and it just don't look the same.
Speaker 5: Let's take one more and then we'll wrap for the
Speaker 5: show for today from Alvin Mituma. Why do coaches in
Speaker 5: the NBA stick to similar starting lineups instead of adjusting
Speaker 5: to the other teams in the matchups? It feels like
Speaker 5: Kyle Anderson and Nas Reed are better for this series
Speaker 5: than Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 1: Well, number one, you have to let it not work first, right,
Speaker 1: Like you're in the conference finals. You can't come into
Speaker 1: the conference finals like, actually we think Rudy Goberry isn't
Speaker 1: gonna guard these guys, is good, Let's go nas Read,
Speaker 1: Let's go Kyle Anderson. So you first have to allow
Speaker 1: to fail, like you don't fix what ain't broken, not
Speaker 1: in basketball, not in life.
Speaker 3: It ain't broke. Don't fix it.
Speaker 1: And so you get to the conference finals, you can't
Speaker 1: just come in like, oh, we're pulling Rudy because we
Speaker 1: know we think it's.
Speaker 3: Not gonna work.
Speaker 1: What if it does, Like you gotta roll with your
Speaker 1: dogs initially, However, how quickly can you make that adjustment?
Speaker 1: And it's a ballsy move to say I'm bringing Rudy
Speaker 1: Gobar off the bench. You but sometimes you have to
Speaker 1: make those cars right. And like I said, I don't
Speaker 1: think it's even bringing Rudy off the bench in terms
Speaker 1: of like, oh, he struggled so badly more so than
Speaker 1: I think those adjustments just help them in other areas.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's a tough thing to do. It's tough
Speaker 1: having those conversations. You know, it's not easy telling the
Speaker 1: guy you've done this, this, this, and this, I need
Speaker 1: you to come off the bench now. Like, that's not
Speaker 1: an easy conversation to have. Is he mentally strong enough
Speaker 1: to take that?
Speaker 3: You know? How does he bounce back from that? Do
Speaker 3: we going to too?
Speaker 1: Like he may go on a tank. You just don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know because I'm not in the locker room
Speaker 1: with them. But those are all of the things that
Speaker 1: can be going into account or should be taken into
Speaker 1: account when you have to make a decision like that. However,
Speaker 1: the ultimate thing that should be taken into account, and
Speaker 1: we see this every year people not make the adjustment
Speaker 1: is what.
Speaker 3: Puts us in the best position to win. And if
Speaker 3: you can make your decisions strictly based on that, you
Speaker 3: may come out with different decisions. However, I'm here to
Speaker 3: tell you they're not always strictly based off that. This
Speaker 3: is a business. Rudy Gobert makes.
Speaker 1: Fifty some million dollars a year, and you're just gonna say, now,
Speaker 1: at the biggest moment of the season, we're bringing you
Speaker 1: off the bench. It's a tough, tough, tough thing to do.
Speaker 1: What you can do is though, like you could say,
Speaker 1: all right, we letting them play the first four minutes
Speaker 1: and we getting them out, or you can make quick subs.
Speaker 1: You can do things like that, but it is a
Speaker 1: tough call and they may lose them if they do it.
Speaker 1: So gotta take all of those things into account. But
Speaker 1: appreciate you'll questions. I appreciate you'all tuning in. That is
Speaker 1: a rap from this episode of Draymond Green Show. We
Speaker 1: will be back when we back Jackson.
Speaker 5: Probably Monday night, maybe for a stream sometime early next week.
Speaker 1: Outside all right, there it is, so make sure you
Speaker 1: lock in. Shoot it out to y'all the next time.
Speaker 1: We'll be back. But keep enjoying these games. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: keep enjoying them. Thank y'all for tuning in. That's a rap.
Speaker 3: Peace
