Speaker 1: The Volume. All right, welcome to Hoops Tonight. You're at
Speaker 1: the Volume. Happy Friday, everybody. Hope all of you guys
Speaker 1: are having an incredible end to your week. Have a
Speaker 1: jam packed show for you guys today, pretty straightforward. We're
Speaker 1: gonna be touching on five games from last night to
Speaker 1: various extents, as the thunder got their revenge I shouldn't
Speaker 1: say revenge. They beat the Rockets earlier this year, but
Speaker 1: they're starting to find their groove and dominated the Rockets
Speaker 1: on the road, getting a twenty point win, pulling away
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. We're gonna break that game down.
Speaker 1: We're gonna touch on the Warriors win against the Knicks.
Speaker 1: We're gonna touch on the Celtics fourth quarter comeback against
Speaker 1: the Miami Heat. We're gonna touch on Kate and Jalen
Speaker 1: Dura's return for the Detroit Pistons and a win versus
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns. And then my very brief thoughts on
Speaker 1: the Lakers kind of just at peace with who they
Speaker 1: are at this point. We'll get to that at the
Speaker 1: tail end of the show. You guys are the job.
Speaker 1: Before we get started, subscribe to the Hoops Tonight YouTube
Speaker 1: channel so you don't miss any more of our videos.

Speaker 1: In the last but not least, if you want to
Speaker 1: get mailbag questions in for next Friday's mail Bag, make
Speaker 1: sure you drop them in our full episodes on YouTube.
Speaker 1: Just put mail bag with the col and write your question.
Speaker 1: We'll get to them on Fridays throughout the remainder of
Speaker 1: the season. All right, let's talk some basketball. So the
Speaker 1: Thunder control of this one pretty much throughout. Houston kept
Speaker 1: making runs throughout the first three quarters that kept things close,
Speaker 1: preventing them from getting down double digits. Okay, see, didn't
Speaker 1: actually push ahead double digits until about nine minutes left
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter of this one. Couple of clear
Speaker 1: advantages for Houston, and I actually'd argue this is kind
Speaker 1: of the concerning thing if you're a Rockets fan. Like
Speaker 1: they dominate the offensive glass, they have a twenty five
Speaker 1: to ten second chance points advantage. They actually did a
Speaker 1: decent job of taking care of the basketball in this game,
Speaker 1: at least avoiding some of the more painful live ball
Speaker 1: turnovers that can lead to easy runouts, and that is
Speaker 1: usually what ends up blowing games open for Oklahoma. City,
Speaker 1: So they were actually able to keep this relatively close
Speaker 1: for the first three quarters and change. But ironically, Oklahoma
Speaker 1: City pulled away doing the thing they had struggled mightily
Speaker 1: with for weeks, which was shot making from the perimeter.
Speaker 1: Jump shooting had been a problem for Oklahoma City during
Speaker 1: their struggles in December and early January. They had These
Speaker 1: are just numbers from Synergy, just to give you guys
Speaker 1: an idea. These are points per jump shot attempt in
Speaker 1: the first Spurs loss, zero point eight, points per jump
Speaker 1: shot attempt in the first in the Minnesota loss right
Speaker 1: after that, zero point seven to nine. In the third
Speaker 1: Spurs loss, zero point seven eight, in the Hornets loss,
Speaker 1: zero point seven eight. And I actually thought right around
Speaker 1: that Hornets game was where it really started to peak.
Speaker 1: There was a three game stretch where they lost to
Speaker 1: the Hornets, they barely beat the Jazz, and they barely
Speaker 1: beat the Grizzlies, and they went zero point seven eight,
Speaker 1: zero point eight four, zero point seven to nine points
Speaker 1: per jump shot respectively in those three games. And it
Speaker 1: was you know, what was weird about those particular games
Speaker 1: is they were shooting extremely poorly on wide open catch
Speaker 1: and shoot threes. During net span. One of the things
Speaker 1: that was kind of popping up in their other losses
Speaker 1: is they were making the wide open ones, but they
Speaker 1: were missing anything that was semi contested, and they were
Speaker 1: missing a lot of their pull up jump shots. In
Speaker 1: that three game stretch, they attempted sixty three unguarded catch
Speaker 1: and shoot jump shots and made just thirteen of them.
Speaker 1: Just brutal bad shooting for Oklahoma City in that stretch.
Speaker 1: And it was after that that I talked about how
Speaker 1: it kind of started to feel a little bit like
Speaker 1: a case of the yips, you know, just like a
Speaker 1: team that like was legitimately in their own head to
Speaker 1: the extent that a lot of their guys were shooting
Speaker 1: below their capability. But I had two follow ups to
Speaker 1: that idea when I kind of talked about how they
Speaker 1: were entering into that kind of funk. One was that
Speaker 1: I'd be certain they'd snap out of it eventually. Why
Speaker 1: they shot the ball too well for too long beforehand,
Speaker 1: they had too much time to figure it out as
Speaker 1: early in the season, and they're still just too talented
Speaker 1: up and down the roster. Eventually found a way to
Speaker 1: figure it out. For lack of a better way of
Speaker 1: putting it and then two. I think for everyone, including
Speaker 1: the Thunder themselves, we have to at least kind of
Speaker 1: file that away in that the potential for a cold
Speaker 1: spell like that from the perimeter is at least something
Speaker 1: will always have in the back of our minds with
Speaker 1: this Thunder team, at least is something that is a
Speaker 1: potential vulnerability, even if we can all admit that they're
Speaker 1: the runaway favorite at this point in time, but they
Speaker 1: snapped out of it in a big way last night.
Speaker 1: They got one point one one points per jump shot
Speaker 1: overall in that fourth quarter stretch when they blew things open.
Speaker 1: They were five for nine on catch and shoot threes,
Speaker 1: and that was with Kenrich Williams missing a couple of
Speaker 1: wide open ones in that stretch. It was this chet Holmgren,
Speaker 1: Jalen Williams, AJ Mitchell kind of group that did all
Speaker 1: the day image and they did what they did best,
Speaker 1: which was relentlessly attack the rim. This team does have
Speaker 1: a clear identity on offense. All of their stars and
Speaker 1: all of their ball handlers I'm even gonna include a J.
Speaker 1: Mitchell and guys like Cason Wallace here, they are all
Speaker 1: in attack mode all of the time. They may have
Speaker 1: some up and down nature to their rim decisions. Sometimes
Speaker 1: they can get a little you know, sketchy with forcing
Speaker 1: things in traffic at the rim. They can certainly go
Speaker 1: cold from the perimeter at times, but they're never going
Speaker 1: to stop attacking. That is very much even like Chet
Speaker 1: and his ISOs. He's always trying to get downhill at
Speaker 1: a big driving dunk past Kevin Durant to start the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Jay Dub a couple of really nice drives
Speaker 1: in that early fourth quarter that set up Caseon Wallace
Speaker 1: catching shoot threes one of those like kind of patent
Speaker 1: and Donovan Mitchell windmill dribbles over the top that set
Speaker 1: one up another drive off the right wing against Reed Sheppard,
Speaker 1: and then aj Mitchell ended up hitting a catch and
Speaker 1: shoot three off of a Case and Wallace drive off
Speaker 1: of the right wing, and things blew up fast for
Speaker 1: Houston from there. This was a two point game with
Speaker 1: eleven minutes left in the fourth, Then it was an
Speaker 1: eleven point game with nine minutes left in the fourth,
Speaker 1: So in two minutes they blew it from a one
Speaker 1: session game to a double digit lead, and next thing
Speaker 1: you know, you look up at the scoreboard and the
Speaker 1: Thunder up by twenty five, and that can be what
Speaker 1: it's like when you let go of the rope against
Speaker 1: this type of team. The thunder also held the Rockets
Speaker 1: to just sixteen points of their own in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: I thought we started to see some of the cumulative
Speaker 1: wear and tear of the Thunderball pressure and physicality get
Speaker 1: to guys like Kevin Durant Albern Shangun. I thought both
Speaker 1: of those guys looked kind of exhausted in that fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: a lot of like stagnant ball where neither of them
Speaker 1: was attacking, but they were kind of looking around the
Speaker 1: floor waiting for something to naturally break open, or looking
Speaker 1: at the other guy to see if maybe they wanted
Speaker 1: to look to go attack. And there were a handful
Speaker 1: of plays where guys got aggressive. Shangun had a big
Speaker 1: drive past chet Holmgren where he went past him, and
Speaker 1: obviously KD hit a couple of jumpers, but for the
Speaker 1: most part, it was a lot of just kind of
Speaker 1: standing around not really knowing how to penetrate the defense.
Speaker 1: And lou Dort has done a fantastic job on KD
Speaker 1: and both of these games, this one and the season
Speaker 1: opener of just getting up underneath them and getting really
Speaker 1: physical and forcing him into some misses. And then all
Speaker 1: game long, I thought the Thunder did a really good
Speaker 1: job of overloading the middle on rolls and cuts, and
Speaker 1: it was ironic because they were giving up a lot
Speaker 1: of these openings on the weakside corner and Houston just
Speaker 1: wasn't getting it there. As a matter of fact, Houston
Speaker 1: attempted just four unguarded catch and shoot jump shots in
Speaker 1: the entire game. This was not a game where they
Speaker 1: were missing a bunch of wide open threes. They weren't
Speaker 1: really getting the ball there. A lot of like catches
Speaker 1: in the middle of the floor that were turning into
Speaker 1: bad forced misses like that one of men Thompson had
Speaker 1: down the stretch where he jumped into Kenridge Williams, or
Speaker 1: turnovers like the past, the Steven Adams on that roll
Speaker 1: where he gets the ball poked away by Shake Gills
Speaker 1: of Alexander okay See was swarming that middle and Houston
Speaker 1: was just turning the ball over or shooting some bad
Speaker 1: shots in there. And then big picture looking at because
Speaker 1: they did get quite a few catch and shoots that
Speaker 1: were contested in this game. The Rockets are having some
Speaker 1: jump shooting woes of their own. As of late, the
Speaker 1: Rockets have shot the ball extremely poorly seven games in
Speaker 1: a row now. They've been below zero point eighty five
Speaker 1: points per jump shot in every single one of the
Speaker 1: last seven games, averaging in total over that seven games
Speaker 1: just zero point seven to nine points per jump shot
Speaker 1: since the loss in Dallas, and they're just two and
Speaker 1: five in that span. Now, some of that is just
Speaker 1: a slump, but some of that is some natural regression
Speaker 1: after they shot kind of absurdly well to start the season.
Speaker 1: Several of their players were shooting better than you would
Speaker 1: typically expect them to based on what their career history
Speaker 1: was to that point. As a team, the Rockets have
Speaker 1: actually slipped to sixteenth in jump shooting efficiency in the
Speaker 1: NBA after that recent stretch. Nonetheless, a really impressive win
Speaker 1: for the Thunder team that appears to be back on track.
Speaker 1: They've now won five in a row, nine out of
Speaker 1: eleven since that rough stretch. I wanted to dig though,
Speaker 1: you know, as we look at this team, you know,
Speaker 1: every time we get an opportunity to see one of
Speaker 1: these kinds of matchups where these are two teams that
Speaker 1: I have in my list of top tier contenders at
Speaker 1: least going into this game, I think, Okay, so he
Speaker 1: showed a little bit of a gap between them and
Speaker 1: Houston in this game, and we'll dig into the reasons why.
Speaker 1: But going into the game, we viewed it as a
Speaker 1: matchup between our top tier two of our top tier
Speaker 1: contenders at this point in the season. I have them
Speaker 1: two as well as Denver in that conversation, and then
Speaker 1: I'm strongly considering most likely going to add Minnesota to
Speaker 1: that conversation. Is as we get to the end of
Speaker 1: this month and every month we're gonna do new contender rankings,
Speaker 1: We're gonna have one here in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: But if we look at those two matchups, now, I'm
Speaker 1: starting to look at very detailed, like kind of schematic
Speaker 1: stuff that may or may not translate to a potential
Speaker 1: playoff matchup for these two teams. So I have five
Speaker 1: takeaways from this game to from last night that just
Speaker 1: kind of demonstrate some of the things we can look
Speaker 1: at and expect to see if these two teams face
Speaker 1: off in a playoff series. First of all, the doubling
Speaker 1: of shake Yieldes Alexander Houston basically just blitzed the hell
Speaker 1: out of Shay on every single ball screen, but then
Speaker 1: allowed him to work one on one against his primary matchup. Now,
Speaker 1: the reason why is Houston likes their primary matchups. There
Speaker 1: is a lot of the men Thompson or Joshakoge in
Speaker 1: this game, and Shaye if he wanted to work a
Speaker 1: tough iso against one of those two guys, Houston was
Speaker 1: willing to let him do that. But if they attempted
Speaker 1: any sort of ball screen action, they were just aggressively
Speaker 1: doubling him to get the ball out of his hands,
Speaker 1: and it actually worked pretty well. Overall. I think it's
Speaker 1: a worthwhile scheme for Houston to have in their bag
Speaker 1: of tricks should they end up in a series against Okay. See.
Speaker 1: Shae was a little flum mixed by it in the
Speaker 1: first half. He had a few uncharacteristic turnovers, didn't really
Speaker 1: get anything going offensively outside of a handful of short bursts.
Speaker 1: Wasn't really able to get anything substantial going offensively in
Speaker 1: this game. Ended up kind of getting his way to
Speaker 1: the foul line to keep his twenty point streak alive
Speaker 1: at the end of the game when things were kind
Speaker 1: of already out of reach. The Thunder had a one
Speaker 1: oh five offensive rating with Shay on the floor in
Speaker 1: the first half, and then one hundred in the third quarter.
Speaker 1: It wasn't really until the fourth quarter that that unit
Speaker 1: started to score super effectively, and at that point it
Speaker 1: was already a double digit lead. The bench group had
Speaker 1: already kind of grown the lead. Does that mean it's
Speaker 1: gonna work perfectly every time time? Know? But what it
Speaker 1: does mean is that they have a decent sample that
Speaker 1: that was a worthwhile option to have in their bag.
Speaker 1: So we should all be prepared if these two teams
Speaker 1: face each other for Houston to do the same thing
Speaker 1: in a playoff series, Don't be surprised if they go
Speaker 1: have your fun with Tarry Easton, Josha Kogi, and Men
Speaker 1: Thompson one on one. But if you bring any sort
Speaker 1: of screening action into the equation, we're just gonna double
Speaker 1: the ball out of your hands. I think we'll see
Speaker 1: more of that from Houston. Secondly, Chet is a real
Speaker 1: problem for Houston in this matchup. He's been fantastic in
Speaker 1: both games. Bring several characteristics to the table. One he
Speaker 1: scraps on the boards and like I know, Oklahoma City
Speaker 1: got killed on the glass in this game overall statistically,
Speaker 1: but if you watch the tape, Chet won a lot
Speaker 1: of those battles too, and he was down there scrapping
Speaker 1: and again like he's the only guy that has the
Speaker 1: length in this lineup to actually hang with Houston. Everyone
Speaker 1: else is given up two three inches in terms of
Speaker 1: size trying to rebound underneath the basket. Chet actually won
Speaker 1: a lot of those battles and several key rebounds and
Speaker 1: tapouts during runs for Oklahoma City in this game that
Speaker 1: helped them maintain control. Secondly, he gives them enormous defensive versatility.
Speaker 1: He gives them quite a bit of strength to shanggun
Speaker 1: every once in a while see Shangun bully him like
Speaker 1: he did on that fourth quarter drive where he just
Speaker 1: goes right around him. But overall, I think he holds
Speaker 1: up pretty well there. And he gives them the ability
Speaker 1: to switch on to Kevin Durant and ball screens, and
Speaker 1: he can get great contests on those Kevin Durant pull
Speaker 1: up jump shots that can forcemisses. And then lastly, he's
Speaker 1: a garbage man at the rim as a vertical spacer.
Speaker 1: What happens when Oklahoma City drives the Bigs have to help.
Speaker 1: He had three dunks in this game, either on putbacks
Speaker 1: or dump offs, where he's just such a big target
Speaker 1: and it's so easy for him to just drop the
Speaker 1: ball through the loop even if he's in traffic. It's
Speaker 1: a real release valve for this team. And again, I
Speaker 1: just even without Isaiah Hartenstein, who's dealing with calf injury
Speaker 1: right now, Chet just gives the Thunder a physical dynamic
Speaker 1: on the front line that's really tough for Houston to
Speaker 1: match up with. I thought he was great in both
Speaker 1: of the games against Okay against Houston so far this season. Thirdly,
Speaker 1: Reed Shepherd is completely physically overmatched in this matchup on
Speaker 1: the perimeter. In both Oklahoma City games we've seen Reid
Speaker 1: just look like a bad combination of small, skinny, and
Speaker 1: slow against Oklahoma City's driving guards. And multiple of those
Speaker 1: easy kickout threes for Oklahoma City in the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: came on easy drives pass read. Jay dev went right
Speaker 1: around him for a kickout. AJ Mitchell went right around
Speaker 1: him for an easy layup. He had a rep against
Speaker 1: aj Mitchell and pick and roll that I thought was
Speaker 1: pretty embarrassing. That's more indicative of the larger issue that
Speaker 1: goes beyond his physical limitation. So Aj comes off a
Speaker 1: screen from chat at the top and Kd's in like
Speaker 1: a deep drop coverage, right, So if you don't get like,
Speaker 1: if you don't apply appropriate back pressure over the top,
Speaker 1: the dude's just going to settle into whatever shot he wants.
Speaker 1: And Reid just kind of slowly meandered over the chat
Speaker 1: screen and let Aj Mitchell just easily settle into a
Speaker 1: pull up three on the right wing that he knocked down.
Speaker 1: And that's the issue, is like you can't be small
Speaker 1: in lack physicality and not overly athletic, like lack the
Speaker 1: physical traits, but then also lack like the motor and
Speaker 1: positioning traits. He had a really bad close out on Jduw.
Speaker 1: It was one of the plays that led to an
Speaker 1: open three. I think it was the second case in
Speaker 1: Wallace three, where like he kind of just hopped out
Speaker 1: really high to the high side and Jaydub just went
Speaker 1: right around him. And I'm like, that's bad fundamentals, that's
Speaker 1: bad footwork, and it's like you can't have bad physical
Speaker 1: traits and bad fundamentals. That's a death sentence in the NBA.
Speaker 1: And Reid just has looked really bad defensively in both
Speaker 1: of these matchups against Oklahoma City. Fourthly, Oklahoma City lit
Speaker 1: up the zone defense this time. That was a big story.
Speaker 1: In the opening night game, the Rockets ran twenty eight
Speaker 1: possessions of the zone in that game, held the Thunder
Speaker 1: to zero point eight two points per possession in those sequences.
Speaker 1: Eight possessions of zone last night one point one to
Speaker 1: three points per possession, and a lot of really good
Speaker 1: dribble penetration through the zone. And then once again guys
Speaker 1: hitting threes to pay that off and beat that look.
Speaker 1: And then, lastly, our fifth takeaway, if we're going to
Speaker 1: talk about and consider the potential for Oklahoma City to
Speaker 1: go cold from the perimeter, we have to have that
Speaker 1: same conversation with Houston. They are every bit as capable
Speaker 1: of going cold. I'd even argue straight up that Oklahoma
Speaker 1: City is a more talented jump shooting team than Houston is.
Speaker 1: So if your take as a Rockets fan is we're
Speaker 1: just missing shots, I'd argue that it's actually more likely
Speaker 1: that that dynamic favors Oklahoma City over a larger sample.
Speaker 1: And I didn't even think Houston moved the ball that
Speaker 1: well to generate the types of quality shots that could
Speaker 1: have flipped that dynamic. Again, we talked about the thunder
Speaker 1: kind of overplaying the middle and Houston not moving the
Speaker 1: ball through their defense very well. A lot of tougher
Speaker 1: and rushed contested catch and shoot jump shots in this game. Again,
Speaker 1: this is only our second look at this matchup. Key
Speaker 1: players from both teams, including potential starters route like Isai
Speaker 1: Hartenstein and Tari Easton, some important bench wings for Houston
Speaker 1: out of the lineup, like Dorian Finney Smith, for example,
Speaker 1: but this one didn't look too good for Houston. You
Speaker 1: dominate in an area that's your clear advantage, the offensive glass,
Speaker 1: You take away or at least limit one of Oklahoma
Speaker 1: City's bigger defensive advantages, which just points off of turnovers.
Speaker 1: You held them well below their season average and points
Speaker 1: off of turnovers, and then you still basically managed to
Speaker 1: never take control in the game and lose by twenty
Speaker 1: on your home floor. So definitely a discouraging performance for
Speaker 1: the Rockets. But they'll have another chance. They play on
Speaker 1: February seventh down in Oklahoma City, and the Rockets will
Speaker 1: have a chance to flip the dynamic at that point.
Speaker 1: But a lot of interesting kind of stuff to see
Speaker 1: from a potential matchup in the playoffs later down the line.
Speaker 1: I'm super excited to tell you guys about our new
Speaker 1: partnership with Viory. Those of you guys who are familiar
Speaker 1: with VIORI have noticed that I've been wearing it on
Speaker 1: the show almost every day now for several years. Today
Speaker 1: I am wearing the Ponto Performance half Zip, one of
Speaker 1: my favorites from them. It's straight up the most comfortable
Speaker 1: hoodie that I've ever worn, but it's also super versatile.
Speaker 1: It's something that looks very nice I can wear out
Speaker 1: when I'm running errands theyre going to get lunch with
Speaker 1: my wife. But it's also like this super stretchy, dry
Speaker 1: fit fabric that I can wear when I'm going to
Speaker 1: play basketball. Here in Colorado, it's cold as heck, and
Speaker 1: so sometimes I get up at seven o'clock in the
Speaker 1: morning to go play basketball, and when I'm doing my
Speaker 1: warm up, I want to have something on that keeps
Speaker 1: me warm but that I can still move around in.
Speaker 1: This works wonderful for that, and that really is Viory
Speaker 1: at its core. It's super high quality clothing that you
Speaker 1: can wash a million times and it's going to hold
Speaker 1: up super well. I have items from Viory that I've
Speaker 1: literally washed like fifty times and they still look every
Speaker 1: bit as nice as when I first bought them years ago.
Speaker 1: And then they're super versatile, high quality, attractive clothing that
Speaker 1: you can wear out informal settings, but that you also

Speaker 1: Nick Warriors. I was a little worried about this game
Speaker 1: for Golden State. Jylen Brunson ended up going down in
Speaker 1: that Sacramento game with an ankle injury. The Knicks the
Speaker 1: latest and a long line of teams that's been following
Speaker 1: victim to a Sacramento Kings team that's just playing good basketball.
Speaker 1: All their shot greadors are playing well. Demart Herosen is
Speaker 1: hooping his ass off, Zach Lavine's hoop, and Russell Westbrooks soup,
Speaker 1: and they got some athletes that are playing really good defense.
Speaker 1: Like the Kings are just playing really good basketball, and
Speaker 1: they kind of chewed up and spit out the Knicks
Speaker 1: just like they did to everyone else over the course
Speaker 1: of the last week. But going into this game against
Speaker 1: Golden State, it's a little bit of a trap. Jalen
Speaker 1: Brunson's out right, so there's gonna be that little bit
Speaker 1: of natural relaxation. But I actually think this Knicks team
Speaker 1: has a lot of offensive talent. We've talked about this
Speaker 1: this year. It's one of the strengths of this roster
Speaker 1: is their depth of ball handling talent, and they needed
Speaker 1: to win. This is a team that's trying to dig
Speaker 1: themselves out of the famous post nd season tournament championship
Speaker 1: role that every single team has run into since the
Speaker 1: inception of the tournament. The Knicks had a little bit
Speaker 1: of a delay. They played well for about a week
Speaker 1: or so after, but then they kind of fell into
Speaker 1: that same morass that Milwaukee and the Lakers fell into
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. And so you knew
Speaker 1: the Knicks were gonna come out and play super, super
Speaker 1: hard because they need to get out of this funk.
Speaker 1: And then, obviously without Jalen Brunson, they're gonna try to
Speaker 1: win more with defense to transition, and that's exactly what
Speaker 1: they did. They came out and they jumped the Warriors
Speaker 1: early in this one, but it was actually a Jimmy
Speaker 1: Butler led unit in the late for quarter that turned
Speaker 1: things around. This is actually a positive trend that we
Speaker 1: discussed in our Mailbag episode yesterday. One of the big
Speaker 1: reasons why I was before the season keyed in on
Speaker 1: a guy like Malik Monk, and I still like Malik
Speaker 1: Monk for the Warriors, certainly a hell of a lot
Speaker 1: more than most Warriors fans do. But One of the
Speaker 1: reasons why I was keyed in on that was the
Speaker 1: specific struggles that Golden State was having scoring with Steph
Speaker 1: off the floor last year and at the start of
Speaker 1: this season. One of the big positive trends for the
Speaker 1: Warriors over the last month and change is that they're
Speaker 1: really starting to play well with these Jimmy led units
Speaker 1: with Steph off the floor. They're actually all the way
Speaker 1: up to a one to seventeen offensive rating this season
Speaker 1: with Jimmy on and Steph off, and they're playing good defense,
Speaker 1: and those units are actually plus eight per one hundred
Speaker 1: possessions on the season to this point. If that trend
Speaker 1: can sustain, if you can score this effectively with these
Speaker 1: Jimmy led units with Steph off the floor, that's the
Speaker 1: kind of thing that buys the Warriors the flexibility to
Speaker 1: focus more on players that help them with Steph on
Speaker 1: the floor, rather than needing the look for a guy
Speaker 1: that can come in and carry a unit offensively for
Speaker 1: a chunk of time. But Jimmy was fantastic during that
Speaker 1: late first quarter run against the Knicks yesterday, just dominating
Speaker 1: at the rim. He had this lob pass that he
Speaker 1: caught off of a back door cut, a back kind
Speaker 1: of a backscreen off the right side from Al Horford
Speaker 1: where he was way up in the air. It literally
Speaker 1: looked like it was ten years ago. I couldn't believe
Speaker 1: how high he got. He had an offensive rebound put
Speaker 1: back in that stretch. He had a steal in a
Speaker 1: pick six where he jumped the pass that from Josh
Speaker 1: Hart out of the right corner, went the other way
Speaker 1: and just kind of pumped, baked and worked his way
Speaker 1: into the lane for a layup. Just injected life into
Speaker 1: the team, got them back into the game. They cut
Speaker 1: the lead to five, and then that Steph Flood unit
Speaker 1: the early second quarter came in and finished the comeback.
Speaker 1: Couple really nice drives from Brandon Pajemski, a couple of
Speaker 1: really nice corner kicks from Gary Payton on short rolls
Speaker 1: and on cuts around the baseline. He hit Draymond Green
Speaker 1: and Moses Moody for wide open corner threes. Jimmy Butler
Speaker 1: came in and was excellent again in his second shift
Speaker 1: in the second quarter, just killing the Knicks with these
Speaker 1: rip through moves, just simple, just fundamental, just catching rip
Speaker 1: and just getting past his man and either getting to
Speaker 1: the rim for a layup or for an easy kickout.
Speaker 1: Jimmy had thirty two eight and four last night was
Speaker 1: zero turnovers. What a game for Jimmy Butler and the
Speaker 1: Warriors were still struggling a little bit in that second
Speaker 1: quarter to build real separation, mainly because of the defensive glass.
Speaker 1: They're having a hard time keeping Karl Anthony Towns off
Speaker 1: the offensive glass. Jordan Clarkson was doing some damage on
Speaker 1: the offensive glass. That kind of allowed the Knicks to
Speaker 1: linger for a little bit, but then they cleaned that
Speaker 1: up in the third quarter and finally pulled away. After
Speaker 1: allowing ten offensive rebounds in the first half, they allowed
Speaker 1: zero in the third quarter, got control of the defensive glass,
Speaker 1: and then Steph who got off to a rough start
Speaker 1: shooting the ball, finally got hot in the second half.
Speaker 1: He had four pull up threes through the third quarter
Speaker 1: in the early part of the fourth as a big
Speaker 1: part of helping the Warriors pull away. The Warriors have
Speaker 1: won ten of their last fourteen games. I talked about
Speaker 1: this after the tough start to the season. I really
Speaker 1: thought the schedule beat Golden State into the ground to
Speaker 1: start the year, and I thought that just naturally by
Speaker 1: the schedule lightening up, it would lead to the Warriors
Speaker 1: starting to get their legs underneath them a little bit.
Speaker 1: They'd start to win some of these games they had
Speaker 1: been losing, which can start to build momentum. Right. That
Speaker 1: builds momentum in buy in and possession to possession focus
Speaker 1: and intensity, and all of a sudden you can start
Speaker 1: to build real momentum. And I just figured that as
Speaker 1: the schedule lightened up, this Warriors team was too good
Speaker 1: to not eventually start racking up wins and go on
Speaker 1: a run. And that's exactly what they're doing. And their
Speaker 1: fifth in offense in the span in large part because
Speaker 1: the Jimmy Butler led units with Steph off the floor.
Speaker 1: That used to be the problem with Golden State is
Speaker 1: you could book Steph units for a one twenty offensive
Speaker 1: rating and then these Steph off units just couldn't score.
Speaker 1: Now that you're getting quality offense out of the Jimmy
Speaker 1: lead units, this team is performing really well offensively in
Speaker 1: a pretty large sample. Defense has slipped a little bit.
Speaker 1: Their thirteenth and defensive rating over the course that fourteen
Speaker 1: game span, their eighth in net rating six and the
Speaker 1: rebounding six and sixth and overall rebound percentage. And again
Speaker 1: that ten and four over the fourteen game span is
Speaker 1: the second best record in the league over that chunk
Speaker 1: of games. I know, it's been a topsy turvy start
Speaker 1: to the season. You lost some brutal clutch games too
Speaker 1: in that span that easily could have gone the other way.
Speaker 1: But here you are. You're twenty three to nineteen. You're
Speaker 1: tied with Houston in the win column for the sixth seed,
Speaker 1: You're legitimately in reasonable striking distance of a top four seed.
Speaker 1: You're five back in the lost column. There, that's not
Speaker 1: something that you can't do over the course of the
Speaker 1: of the next forty games and change. Both Steph and
Speaker 1: Jimmy look fantastic. The offseason signings of guys like d'
Speaker 1: anthony Melton and Al Horford are really starting to pay dividends.
Speaker 1: Al had some really nice sequences last idea to drive
Speaker 1: of a closeout off the top after de Anthony Melton
Speaker 1: drove and penetrated into the lane. These drive We talked
Speaker 1: about the drives from d Anthony Melton the other day.
Speaker 1: They've been such a huge thing for this Warriors team.
Speaker 1: But he kicks it back to Horford he had an
Speaker 1: explosive drive towards the basket. There's just a level that
Speaker 1: Al als moving at now that he wasn't moving at
Speaker 1: before the season. And again, you have a trade to
Speaker 1: make here and the Warriors. I've been doing a lot
Speaker 1: of posturing in the in the media in the last
Speaker 1: couple of days, like saying, you know, leaking things like
Speaker 1: they might keep Jonathan can make no, you won't, like
Speaker 1: everybody knows that you guys are dying for that to
Speaker 1: be over, or that they're not interested in Michael Porter Junior.
Speaker 1: This guy's not a guy they want to take back.
Speaker 1: I think that's all just kind of posturing, part of
Speaker 1: that classic kind of trade deadline mind game that every
Speaker 1: team tries to play. I still legitimately think if Golden
Speaker 1: State can hit on a move, they do have a
Speaker 1: shot to make some noise in the West. They if
Speaker 1: they hit on that trade, ill we'll see who that
Speaker 1: player ends up being. But if they hit on that trade,
Speaker 1: I think they're one of those second tier contenders that's
Speaker 1: capable of beating a team or two and if God forbid,
Speaker 1: things break perfectly for them, they could be, you know,
Speaker 1: suddenly in the Western Conference finals or something like that.
Speaker 1: All Right, the Celtics get a big win on the
Speaker 1: road in Miami. Not gonna linger on this one for
Speaker 1: too long. I wanted to talk about Anthony Simons for
Speaker 1: a little bit, though, because he completely explodes in this game.
Speaker 1: He goes for thirty nine I believe eighteen of those
Speaker 1: were in the fourth quarter, but he just completely carried
Speaker 1: the offense during that fourth quarter comeback. And I want
Speaker 1: to specifically emphasize the drives because we all know about
Speaker 1: Anthony's three point shooting. He can get hot and hit
Speaker 1: a bunch of step back threes like he did, and
Speaker 1: he's certainly done that at various points this season. Over
Speaker 1: the large sample, he's been in the low thirties on
Speaker 1: that shot, but it's been something that he's gotten hot
Speaker 1: and cold with throughout the season. He's been brilliant off
Speaker 1: the catch, like if you leave Anthony open this year,
Speaker 1: it's going in. But the most fascinating part to me
Speaker 1: was actually the drives. And this has been a little
Speaker 1: bit of an exciting trend over the last couple of games,
Speaker 1: but he was getting to the rim at will during
Speaker 1: that fourth quarter run. Agains some pretty high quality perimeter
Speaker 1: defenders and This is a guy that over the course
Speaker 1: of this season has been averaging just two point two
Speaker 1: points per game at the rim, So just a little
Speaker 1: over one layup per game essentially is what you've been
Speaker 1: getting from Anthrony to this point. It's been something that
Speaker 1: I talked about that I was kind of disappointing disappointed by,
Speaker 1: because you know, when we talked about Anthony coming over
Speaker 1: to Boston, he was one of kind of the interesting
Speaker 1: case studies that had my eye on with Boston this season.
Speaker 1: Like we've seen this drive and kick system that's predicated
Speaker 1: on having perfect spacing all the time, guards that can
Speaker 1: finish out of the dunker spot, and these two forwards
Speaker 1: in Jalen Brown and in Jason Tatum that can create
Speaker 1: advantages through like inside seals post ups, isoting smaller players
Speaker 1: and pressuring the rim to initiate their drive and kick attack,
Speaker 1: and the kind of guards they had, like you know,
Speaker 1: obviously Drew Holliday could apply some rim pressure, but he's
Speaker 1: more of like a bully ball type of player. And
Speaker 1: then you had, you know, Derek White, who I wouldn't
Speaker 1: necessarily consider to be a slasher. He's just an extremely
Speaker 1: gifted shooter both off the catch and off the dribble,
Speaker 1: who's very smart, who knows how to run inverted ball
Speaker 1: screens and standard ball screens and all these different things
Speaker 1: that kind of complimented what the Jays like to do.
Speaker 1: Andfrety Simons represents kind of like a spread, pick and
Speaker 1: roll type of two guard that brings a very different
Speaker 1: type of dynamic to this team. And one of the
Speaker 1: things that I was most disappointed in throughout this part
Speaker 1: of the season with him, even though I think he's
Speaker 1: played well for stretches, was I just thought he'd be
Speaker 1: able to pressure the rim a little bit more in
Speaker 1: this type of space than he's been able to. He's
Speaker 1: just had a hard time turning the corner. But like
Speaker 1: he had six points just in the fourth quarter of
Speaker 1: this game alone driving to the basket for layups. He
Speaker 1: had another six points in the last game. So again,
Speaker 1: for a guy who's averaged two point two points at
Speaker 1: the rim per game this season, he has twelve points
Speaker 1: at the rim in the last two games. So some
Speaker 1: real positive momentum there from Anferny Simons and then just
Speaker 1: a couple of key stops late. They really did a
Speaker 1: good job of swarming Miami's drives. At the end of
Speaker 1: the game, they had four stocks in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: Niemi Kada had a big one, Derek White had a
Speaker 1: big one in transition on Norman Powell, and an important
Speaker 1: sequence late in the game. This we've talked about this
Speaker 1: with Miami, but Miami they're constantly trying to drive at
Speaker 1: these matchups. But if you help off of Bam and
Speaker 1: you kind of just situate yourself in the lane, you
Speaker 1: can force them into some tougher shots around the rim
Speaker 1: that they'll miss. And Bam often hasn't made enough shot,
Speaker 1: so Kello where hasn't made enough shots. They actually did
Speaker 1: win a game against Phoenix the other night where Bam
Speaker 1: hit a bunch of threes in crunch time, but he
Speaker 1: missed the three in crunch time. This time, he had
Speaker 1: another play where he was kind of awkwardly situated in
Speaker 1: the dunker spot on the left side, and when the
Speaker 1: ball got dumped off to him, he ended up shooting
Speaker 1: like a hook that he missed. And the spacing can
Speaker 1: just get a little janky for Miami, And so the
Speaker 1: defensive game plan there is you just need to swarm
Speaker 1: those drives and off of the right types of shooters.
Speaker 1: Swarm those drives and make sure you don't lose track
Speaker 1: of the lasers like Norman Powell and Tyler Harrow, and
Speaker 1: you give yourself a good chance. And I just thought
Speaker 1: that they did a brilliant job swarming Miami's drives down
Speaker 1: the stretch. And then a couple of big plays late
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown, you know, after Anthorty Simons had kind of
Speaker 1: taken over the offense in the fourth quarter, hits a
Speaker 1: huge three off the left wing on a double team.
Speaker 1: Then Anthony Simons drew And that's the kind of thing
Speaker 1: that anthrety Simons is gonna do. If he's dropping thirty
Speaker 1: nine in a game, he's gonna start drawing two to
Speaker 1: the ball, which is what he did. Jalen had a
Speaker 1: really nice driving floater in the lane that helped ice
Speaker 1: the game. And then some really big offensive rebounds from
Speaker 1: Sam Hauser and Derek White underneath the basket, just grabbing
Speaker 1: Howser had a little tap in. Derek White had a
Speaker 1: play where he grabbed an offensive rebound and drew foul.
Speaker 1: Those were big plays. Late in the game, the Celtics
Speaker 1: had dropped three out of four, it started to get
Speaker 1: into a little bit of some bad habits in terms
Speaker 1: of their shot selection. Big win though, I thought last
Speaker 1: night over a Miami Heat team that's been playing a
Speaker 1: little bit better over the course of the last week.

Speaker 1: Cunningham and Jalen Durhan. The Pistons had struggled at various
Speaker 1: point in this game. Phoenix, even without Devin Booker, they
Speaker 1: bring a very high concentration of jump shooting, talent and
Speaker 1: athleticism on their roster, and those are two of arguably
Speaker 1: the most important traits in the modern NBA that a
Speaker 1: team needs, and when you have those two things in abundance,
Speaker 1: you're gonna do a lot of damage to the NBA.
Speaker 1: The athleticism is what allows you to get the stops
Speaker 1: that get you out in transition. That's also the athleticism
Speaker 1: that helps you penetrate the defense for you know, driving
Speaker 1: kick sequences, and then the jump shooting is what pays
Speaker 1: it off, right, And so they got a lot of
Speaker 1: high quality defense to transition sequences and driving kick sequences
Speaker 1: where guys paid it off by hitting shots. And the
Speaker 1: Pistons had some turnover issues in this game, and they
Speaker 1: also didn't shoot the ball super well from the perimeters.
Speaker 1: That meant a lot of long rebounds and a lot
Speaker 1: of live ball turnovers. That also kind of fed that
Speaker 1: transition engine. And so Phoenix had some stretches where they
Speaker 1: looked really good at honestly, they kind of played like
Speaker 1: they were in control for the majority of the game.
Speaker 1: The Pistons just had these two massive runs, a nineteen
Speaker 1: to five run in the middle of the third quarter
Speaker 1: and a thirteen to two run in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: Those both erased the majority of the success that the
Speaker 1: Suns had had in the other parts of the game,
Speaker 1: and then they were able to successfully close the game
Speaker 1: out with their defense. And the nineteen to five run
Speaker 1: in the middle of the third quarter was a fascinating example.
Speaker 1: I'd argue both of their runs were like this, but
Speaker 1: there was just just some different guys in that fourth
Speaker 1: quarter stretch. But the run that they went on in
Speaker 1: that third quarter was fueled entirely by what I think
Speaker 1: is the identity of this team, which is that they
Speaker 1: are a physical, ass kicking athletic team. Asar Thompson and
Speaker 1: Jalen Duran completely dominated that middle third stretch just under
Speaker 1: the rim on offense. Almost everything Detroit scored during that
Speaker 1: run was off of either a Duran Thompson offensive rebound
Speaker 1: or a Duran Thompson cut around the rim where they
Speaker 1: just jumped over everyone or finished something in the lane.
Speaker 1: And we also got one of those patented stretches from
Speaker 1: Detroit's defense, which again they have just this depth of
Speaker 1: athletic perimeter players that can get up into the ball
Speaker 1: and that can really rotate, and teams can soil the
Speaker 1: selves underneath that, and they force a few turnovers and
Speaker 1: some really tough late clock heaves from Dylan Brooks during
Speaker 1: that third quarter run, and crazy thing is Dylan almost
Speaker 1: knocked a couple of them down because he's such a gifted,
Speaker 1: tough shot maker this season. But it's just really difficult
Speaker 1: to handle Detroit when they ratchet things up athletically like that,
Speaker 1: when they're forcing you into really tough shots on one end,
Speaker 1: and then it's just a steady diet of like just
Speaker 1: like pinball underneath the basket, Jalen Duran and Saar Thompson
Speaker 1: just grabbing and finishing everything around the basket. It just
Speaker 1: can be really difficult because it's ugly basketball and it's
Speaker 1: it's just fueled by this physical athleticism and you end
Speaker 1: up going on a nineteen to five run that flips
Speaker 1: the game, and then that second run in the third quarter,
Speaker 1: excuse me. In the fourth quarter, different group of guys
Speaker 1: like Tobias Harris was doing a lot of damage out
Speaker 1: of the post in this lineup, hit a couple of
Speaker 1: tough middies, even one over Dylan Brooks, which is not
Speaker 1: easy to do. And then they got another big offensive
Speaker 1: rebound finish from Jalen during this time off of an
Speaker 1: offensive rebound by Jade and Ivy Jay and Ivy is
Speaker 1: starting to play a little bit better. He had a
Speaker 1: big three in that run as well. And then Isaiah Stewart,
Speaker 1: you know, a guy that can be hot and cold
Speaker 1: on defense, had a couple of really nice rim protection
Speaker 1: sequences during that stretch for some misses from Phoenix players
Speaker 1: at the RAM, and then closing the game, the offense
Speaker 1: stalled out, which gave Phoenix a chance. Phoenix ended up
Speaker 1: cutting the lead to too late. Cade predictably off in
Speaker 1: his first game back. He's very much a rhythm player
Speaker 1: and it's going to take him a few games to
Speaker 1: find his groove. He just had some misses and some
Speaker 1: turnovers down the stretch that are pretty typical of a
Speaker 1: guy that you know has been away from the game
Speaker 1: for a little bit. He's struggling at the foul line too.
Speaker 1: That's always the dead giveaway that a player's just out
Speaker 1: of rhythm. But Detroit's defense was just excellent down the stretch,
Speaker 1: Like Phoenix was really whipping the ball around the perimeter too,
Speaker 1: But there's just so many shooters to track and it
Speaker 1: can be tough. But Detroit just met that energy. They
Speaker 1: were flying around, they were making their rotations, and they
Speaker 1: got enough stops to close the deal down the stretch
Speaker 1: and the Pistons get back in the win. Calmn I
Speaker 1: thought it was super impressive that they went three to
Speaker 1: one in those games without Jalen Duran and again Caid
Speaker 1: missed two of those games as well. And now those
Speaker 1: guys are back and got a tough schedule this coming week.
Speaker 1: They play the Celtics on Monday and the Rockets on Friday.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a couple of tougher matchups for Detroit
Speaker 1: coming up up this week. But again, to me, you
Speaker 1: know when we talk about we talked about this idea
Speaker 1: in our power ranking segment on Monday, the idea of
Speaker 1: sustaining success through shifting circumstances. And one of the things
Speaker 1: that that requires is an identity that permeates your entire roster. So,
Speaker 1: for instance, if you have an identity that's tied up
Speaker 1: in a singular player like oh, this guy does this,
Speaker 1: and that's what makes us great, then you remove that
Speaker 1: guy and it can be a problem. And I don't
Speaker 1: want to sit here and pretend like Cad and his
Speaker 1: shot creation isn't a big part of this team's identity.
Speaker 1: Of course it is, And even in this game is
Speaker 1: as much as Kid had struggled, there were a lot
Speaker 1: of possessions where he drew the rim protector in into
Speaker 1: ballscreen and just fed Jalen during a wide open dunk.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of quality shot creation from Kid
Speaker 1: in this game too. But the point I'm trying to
Speaker 1: make is when you have an identity that permeates the roster,
Speaker 1: when you have a thing that you do great that
Speaker 1: involved like seven or eight dudes on the team, and
Speaker 1: so when one or two of them are out, the
Speaker 1: other guys in that group can just kind of bring
Speaker 1: that same identity on a possession to possession basis. That's
Speaker 1: what actually drives sustained success through shifting circumstances. And it's
Speaker 1: very clear that this team, through its physicality on the glass,
Speaker 1: especially on the offensive glass, and its perimeter defense talent,
Speaker 1: that they have an identity that permeates the roster, and
Speaker 1: that's going to be there even in games where they're
Speaker 1: missing some of their core rotation pieces, maybe even a
Speaker 1: star or two, and I just think that that bodes
Speaker 1: really well for Detroit moving forward this season. All right, lastly,
Speaker 1: just for a couple minutes before we get out of
Speaker 1: here tonight, the Lakers loss to the Hornets last night.
Speaker 1: Not gonna go too deep here. I'm covering this with
Speaker 1: Lakers Collective today at eleven am Pacific Standard times. You
Speaker 1: guys can head over to that channel and we'll be
Speaker 1: live for about an hour talking about that game, as
Speaker 1: well as the other two games from this week. I
Speaker 1: have been way less discouraged by the Kings and Hornets
Speaker 1: losses than you would think that I would be when
Speaker 1: you have these kinds of injuries like Austin Reeves is out,
Speaker 1: Jackson Hayes is now out, so you have these weird
Speaker 1: like Lebron at center groups, which is just a lot
Speaker 1: to ask for a forty one year old. Gabe is
Speaker 1: back from an injury, but he's still super rusty. Ruey
Speaker 1: Hatchamura's back from injury, but he's still super rusty. So
Speaker 1: what you end up with when Gabe's not shooting the
Speaker 1: ball well and Ruy's not shooting the ball well, you
Speaker 1: just have a lot of these yanky ass lineups on
Speaker 1: the floor. I'm like looking at a lot of lineups
Speaker 1: where I'm like, of course they're getting their butts kicked.
Speaker 1: It's like Lebron and a G League guard and then
Speaker 1: another two dudes that can't shoot and a guy that's
Speaker 1: just coming back from an injury that's a shell of
Speaker 1: himself right now, and it's like, of course they're getting beat,
Speaker 1: you know, and similar lineups involving Luca that have had
Speaker 1: those kinds of issues, and so like, I just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the Lakers are a poor jump shooting team, and yeah
Speaker 1: they're I don't think they're gonna be you know, I
Speaker 1: still view them as a third tier contender. I'm not
Speaker 1: sitting here trying to say that they're better like that
Speaker 1: than you know, what we've considered them to be over
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. But I just think in this
Speaker 1: particular stretch of the season, when you look at the
Speaker 1: like the Kings and Hornets are playing pretty good basketball
Speaker 1: right now, they've been giving good teams issues over the
Speaker 1: course of the last couple of weeks. So, like, am
Speaker 1: I surprised that the Lakers dropped games when they have
Speaker 1: this type of role player talent available to them, and
Speaker 1: Austin's out of the lineup, and you're playing against some
Speaker 1: teams that are playing pretty good basketball. No, I'm not
Speaker 1: overly surprised. And the reason why I'm not super worked
Speaker 1: up about it is there are some real positive things
Speaker 1: that I think stretched forward for this team. Like if
Speaker 1: Lebron and Luca are going to continue to be this good,
Speaker 1: like Lebron and Luca were fantastic again last night. If
Speaker 1: Lebron and Luca are going to be this good and
Speaker 1: you get Austin back, that's a strong enough foundation to
Speaker 1: make up for some of your flaws. Then you hit
Speaker 1: on a trade at the deadline, you get you know,
Speaker 1: a couple of guys back to shooting the ball a
Speaker 1: little bit better than they were earlier. At least I
Speaker 1: think they could get back to being one of those
Speaker 1: like feisty second tier contenders that can beat a team
Speaker 1: or two, you know, if they catch some favorable matchups
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. So again, the role players are what
Speaker 1: they are right now, they're bad. But the stars playing
Speaker 1: this well I do think is a positive because I
Speaker 1: don't think we're gonna see you know, Kobe Buffkin in
Speaker 1: the rotation for the Lakers when we get to, you know,
Speaker 1: a big playoff series. I don't think Jared Vanderbilt is
Speaker 1: gonna be in the rotation when they get to a
Speaker 1: big playoff series. I don't think Gabe Vincent is going
Speaker 1: to be in the rotation when they get to a
Speaker 1: big playoff series. Like, the Lakers are gonna swap some
Speaker 1: of these guys out. Austin's gonna come back Austin again
Speaker 1: if it brings a better Like he's a better defender
Speaker 1: than most of the guards not named Marcus Smart. He's
Speaker 1: a better shooter than just about everybody on the team,
Speaker 1: and he's one of their most valuable shot creators. You know,
Speaker 1: you're taking what has been Nick Smith junior in Kobe
Speaker 1: Buffkin minutes and you're giving those to Austin Reeves. You're
Speaker 1: taking minutes that are going to some of these lesser players,
Speaker 1: Like like you're not gonna have to lean on centerless
Speaker 1: Lebron James units when Jackson Hayes is healthy. Right, So,
Speaker 1: like I credit the Hornets. They played really good basket
Speaker 1: the Hornets. This is crazy stat They literally made seven
Speaker 1: pull up threes last night. They average half that they
Speaker 1: played They're playing really good basketball right now. They were
Speaker 1: spamming Iso threes at the top of the key in
Speaker 1: the third quarter and it was working. So tip the
Speaker 1: cap to the Hornets. Yes, the Lakers are a flawed team.
Speaker 1: No one's out here saying they're gonna go win the championship.
Speaker 1: But I do think they're better than they look right
Speaker 1: this second, because they have a lot of guys that
Speaker 1: are bad basketball players that are playing in their rotation.
Speaker 1: It's an indictment on Rob for the work that he's
Speaker 1: done with the back half of the roster, but I
Speaker 1: think that there are some positive trends coming with just
Speaker 1: the effort level, the engagement on defense, and how good
Speaker 1: their stars look right now. All right, guys, it's all
Speaker 1: I have for today. As always, I appreciate you guys
Speaker 1: for supporting us and supporting the show. I hope all
Speaker 1: of you guys have a wonderful weekend and I'll see
Speaker 1: you next week on One
