Um. But obviously we're still gonna 78 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: be doing a great deal of stuff on YouTube. So 79 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: those those two places in Twitter are going to be 80 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: the three places that you're gonna want to for sure 81 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: be following as well as wherever you end up getting 82 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: your podcasts if you guys can't get there, because everything 83 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: will eventually be redistributed as a podcast. But in terms 84 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: of timeliness with those live shows, if you want to 85 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: see them live, that's where you're gonna get them, all right. 86 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: So starting with Sacramento and Golden State, so a couple 87 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: of rough defensive games in a row. For Golden State, 88 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: they really really struggled in this particular game guarding dribble 89 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: penetration from Deer and Fox and Malik monk Um. Not 90 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: just in dribble drive situations. A lot of dribble drive 91 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: stuff from Deer and from Deer and Fox, a lot 92 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: of pick and roll stuff from the Leak Monk, but 93 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: both guys were just getting downhill way too often. And 94 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: as we've talked about so much on this show, when 95 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: you give up dribble penetration, it's just really hard to 96 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: play good defense on the back side of that. With 97 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: how skilled everybody in the NBA is now, that's why 98 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: I keep talking about how perimeter defense is the most 99 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: important skill defensively in the league right now, particularly Jordan's 100 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: Pool and Moses Moody had a tough time in my rewatch. Um. 101 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: You know, Moses Moody in particular, was getting kind of 102 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: barbecued by deer and fox the um. I talked to 103 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: you guys a lot in season about how it seems 104 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: to me that over the course of this season, Golden 105 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: State is willing to take a defensive hit to put 106 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: Moses Moody through the ringer. It's his trial by fire. 107 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: He's getting tough matchups almost every every time he checks 108 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: into the game. It's clear to me that they're like, 109 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: we see you as the guy that we're gonna be 110 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: leaning on big time in our playoff rotation. We need 111 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: you to learn how to play perimeter defense, and so 112 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: so much of that is building foot foot speed and quickness, 113 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: lateral quickness, which can a great way to get those 114 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: reps is to practice guarding super quick and skilled offensive 115 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: players and then also anticipation getting reps against all of 116 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: these guys during the regular season, so you just get 117 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: a little bit better at anticipating what they're going to do. 118 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: That said, this was a win. There was a big 119 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: late second quarter run from the Warriors in this game. 120 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: Basically what happened was is moody and poor having trouble. 121 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: When the starters came back in late second quarter, UH 122 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: Steve curse which Andrew Wiggins onto Deer and Fox. Suddenly 123 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: they got that dribble penetration under control because Andrew Wiggins 124 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league. Simultaneously, 125 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: Steph Curry caught a heater. What a magnificent offensive game 126 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: that was from him. You could tell that left wing, 127 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: that three point line, left wing extended is definitely his 128 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: favorite spot to get to his off the dribble package. Um. 129 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: But when you combined Wiggins finally slowing down Fox with 130 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: Steph catching that heater, all of a sudden you're up eighteen. 131 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: And it was kind of bizarre because to be up 132 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: eighteen and a half where you gave up seventy one 133 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: points is completely insane. And then from there they kind 134 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: of held him off the rest of the game. The 135 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: game was never really truly hum and threatened until I 136 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: think they got back within four and garbage time, but 137 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: really that game was over. It's an ugly win, but 138 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: a win is a win in UH in an eight 139 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: two game regular season. You know, the Sixers and Lakers 140 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: for instance, are losing these times of ugly games, so 141 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: there's definitely a worse spot to be in. UM. The 142 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: defense is not where it needs to be though, and 143 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: that's not a problem. It's only been three games, but 144 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: it's just something to start kind of keeping an eye 145 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: on as we go through the season. So here are 146 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: some um. Here are some defensive metrics for the Warriors 147 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: to start the season. There fifteen and defensive writing. They 148 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: are twenty two in rebound percentage, meaning the total number 149 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: of available rebounds that they grabbed by percentage. They were 150 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: twenty feet in points in the paint allowed per one possessions. 151 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: Not great, but they are doing a really nice job 152 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: depending defending the three point line their seventh and opponent 153 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: three point makes, which coincides with the fact that they've 154 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: only been allowing nineteen point three wide open threes per game, 155 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: which is the eighth best number in the league in 156 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: that particular metric. All this amounts to, according to Cleaning 157 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: the Glass, the sixteen best half court defense in the league, 158 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: so the very middle of the pack right now. And 159 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: they are eighth in transition defense according to Cleaning the Glass, 160 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: so infammation they're defending the three point line really well. 161 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: They're defending in transition really well, but they're below average 162 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: just about everywhere else on defense right now. And that's 163 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: all amounting to a very average defense. Super early doesn't 164 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: mean anything. This is why I'm a big believer in 165 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: tracking metrics over the eight two Over the course of 166 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: a season, no matter who you are, you're gonna have 167 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: nights where the Sacramento Kings lights you up because you're 168 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: just not playing much defense. That's just going to happen 169 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: to every single team in the league. But that's why 170 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: we track those metrics. Based on all thirty teams overall 171 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: eighty two games. That's an average. It accounts that for everybody. 172 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: And when I'm looking at um, when I'm looking at 173 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: these defenses as we progress around the season, I want 174 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: to see your defensive rating in the top ten. So 175 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: they're in there fifteen right now, so not a great start, 176 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 1: but that's kind of a metric that I want to 177 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: see them hit. Every contender that we're looking at, I 178 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: want to see you top ten in defense. I want 179 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: to see you at least great great at one of 180 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: two things. Either eight at defending the three point line, 181 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: are great at defending the paint. Those are the two 182 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: most efficient shots in basketball. If you can be great 183 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: at erasing one of those, that's a good foundation. Obviously, 184 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: rebounding is important and then transition defense. That to me, 185 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: rebounding and transition defensives are all about coaching and how 186 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: tight you are in your details. It's hard enough to 187 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: win playoff series when you're not beating yourself, so you 188 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: need to find ways to not beat yourself. So let's 189 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: just kind of touch base on that again with the 190 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: Warriors in about a week or so and just kind 191 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: of see if they make some improvement on that front, 192 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 1: which I expect them to moving on to San Antonio, Philly. 193 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: So this one I just watched the fourth quarter, so 194 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: they the Spur the Sixers ended up taking a lead 195 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: eight to eighty seven on a Joel and Be dunk 196 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: um early fourth quarter, and you know you're feeling good 197 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: at that point, like playing with your food. We just 198 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: talked about this with the Warriors. That's kind of a 199 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: staple of the NBA regular season. When you're playing eighty 200 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: two games, it's normal to go through these stretches where 201 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: you're like the Santata on a Spurs are in town, like, 202 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: let's just get through this game, and you hang around, 203 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: and then they take a few five point leads, and 204 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: you take a few five point leads, but no one 205 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: really pulls the game away, and then in the fourth 206 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: quarter you turn it up. You get the way you 207 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: get out of tempt, right, that's the way you're you're 208 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: supposed to handle that sort of thing. But right now 209 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: the problem is that the Sixers aren't really playing very 210 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: good basketball overall. So after Joel Embi dunks it to 211 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:26,599 Speaker 1: go up seven, the Sixers lose Doug McDermott in transition 212 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: for a wide open three that he nails. Then on 213 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: the very next possession, um the uh the Spurs set 214 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: a back screen for Doug McDermott, and Daniel House was 215 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: guarding Doug McDermott, and he tried on these next two 216 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: plays that I'm referencing that he went on the opposite 217 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: end of the screen. And you know that you refer 218 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: to that as going under the screen, but on a backcut, 219 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: it actually looks like you're going over a screen. That 220 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: is a very dangerous thing to do against a shooter 221 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: or with a vacated paint, because as soon as you 222 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: get disconnected from a player who's going around a screen, 223 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: you now have to cover more ground then that offensive 224 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: player is covering. And so if you're not flying around 225 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: and to make a play, you're gonna get beat. And 226 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 1: so on this one, instead of locking and trailing McDermott 227 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: so that if he caught it, you're right there to 228 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: block the shot, he went under the screen or over 229 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: since it was a backscreen, and ended up too late. 230 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: McDermott was wide open for a lap. Very next possession, 231 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: Doug McDermott comes off a double wide, pinned down to 232 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: shoot a catch and shoot three at the top of 233 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: the key. Daniel House tried to go underneath the picks 234 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: and so guess what he got disconnected from McDermott. When 235 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: McDermott caught there was nobody in his airspace, and when 236 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: he rose up, Daniel House contested the shot, but at 237 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: that point he's already up into his release, comfortable and confident. 238 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: That's not good defense. And so next thing you know, 239 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: after he McDermott goes on this solo eight oh run, 240 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 1: suddenly you're down seven. And then on the very next possession, 241 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: Doug McDermott runs off another seat of a wide screens 242 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: to get a shot, and Tyrese Maxie is on him 243 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: this time does a night job locking and trailing McDermott, 244 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: but James Harden randomly just double teams McDermott on the 245 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: on the as he's coming off the screen. The Spurs 246 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: just skip it across the court pass pass, and there's 247 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: a wide open layup because now you're in rotation because 248 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: you just doubled somebody for no particular reason. There's another 249 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 1: play in that run where Joel embiide Um made a 250 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: kickout pass to Tobias Harris in the corner that he 251 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: missed but then didn't actually run back on defense, and 252 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: Yako Purtle just beat him down the floor and got 253 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: an offensive rebound put back. So it's like, my thing 254 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: is like, it's okay to play with your food. That's 255 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: kind of normal. It's gonna happen during the course of 256 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: the regular season. The differences is like the Warriors played 257 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: with their food but did what was necessary to win 258 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: the game and had these spurts of really good basketball 259 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: that put them away, like they did in the end 260 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: of the second quarter when the Sixers game control of 261 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: the game up eight seven, they went back to playing 262 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: bad basketball. And when you start playing bad basketball just 263 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: becomes about variants. You know, like Tobias Harris missed two 264 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: why open threes in the right corner in the fourth 265 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: quarter of this game. Like that's variants. Like even good 266 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: wide open shooters are gonna miss shot. Sometimes there's a 267 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: player retires. Max he caught the ball in the left 268 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: corner and had an easy driving layoup, but he stepped 269 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: out of bounds. You know, it's bad luck. That's three 270 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,719 Speaker 1: possessions that you lose there. But at the end of 271 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: the day, when you're playing bad basketball and you play 272 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: with your food, you run the risk of variants beating you. 273 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: And in this case, Doug mc dermocconda heater and you 274 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: ended up losing a game. So I mean kind of 275 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: zooming zooming out. For the Sixers, they're owing three now, 276 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: they will be one in three after tonight because they're 277 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: going to beat Indiana. I'd be stunned if they lost 278 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: that game. Um, James Harden was awesome in the first 279 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: two games, but Joel Embiad was awful in the first 280 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: two games. Uh And Bead was awesome in the third game, 281 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: but James Harden was awful in that game. Um, you know, 282 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: I've I've obviously I've been someone who's been on the 283 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: James Harden's Canna Ever revenge campaign? Um type of season, 284 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: their type of a take as it as it pertains 285 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: of the Sixers in their potential this year. He had 286 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: a bad game. That's going to happen. Obviously, we need 287 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: a lot more than three games to determine whether or 288 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: not James Harden his back. I still think he looks great, 289 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: but he didn't play well against San Antonio. But the 290 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: problem there is not that um um, you know, James 291 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: Harden played poorly once, so that Joel Embiid played im 292 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: poorly twice. They both need to be better. This is 293 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: gonna be a consistent theme as we're going down the line, 294 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: when we're getting to Paul George and Kawhile Leonard here 295 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: in a couple of minutes, or when we get to 296 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: Lebron James and Anthony Davis when we talked about the 297 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: Lakers later, Like these teams that are star late and 298 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: the ones that rely on their top tier stars to 299 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: lead the way. If they are inconsistent and they don't 300 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: consistently find ways to dominate games, you're not you're not 301 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: gonna be very good. And right now, the Sixers have 302 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: two stars that can't consistently play well. They're not very good. 303 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: The Lakers have two stars that can't consistently play well. 304 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: They're not very good. So that's something to keep an 305 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: eye on for both of those teams. The Sixers have 306 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: had stretches of great defense and stretches of awful defense. Um, 307 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: they just need consistency. They consistency from their stars, consistency 308 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: and defensive effort, and they'll be fine there. This is 309 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: not a roster issue. I've been asked that twice in 310 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: our live shows. I don't think it's a roster issue. 311 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: It's just bad basketball. They need to play better basketball. Um. Specifically, 312 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: they are twenty nine and transition defense according to Cleaning 313 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: the Glass right now. Uh, specifically, Joel Embiid is absolutely 314 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: killing them in that department by just lingering in the 315 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: backcourt and trying to draw fouls and doing all sorts 316 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: of stupid ship that's getting him caught up and not 317 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: getting back on defense and time, and it's killing the Sixers. 318 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: Big green, you know, big kind of silver lining. The 319 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: Sixers are sixth in half court defense right now. According 320 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: to Cleaning the Glass, so Washington Cleveland, the Calves are 321 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: up by seven in this game with less than a 322 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: minute left UM, and it was a pretty remarkable quick comeback. 323 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: They didn't even need but twenty seconds to tie this 324 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: basketball game. Chris apps porzingis stuck a nasty step back 325 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: three over Jared Allen. The Calves in bound to Donovan Mitchell, 326 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: and Bradley Beale just rips him and then goes up 327 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: to the basket, draws a foul, goes to the line, 328 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 1: makes two free throws, and then the Calves go back 329 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: into Donovan Mitchell. He brings the ball to the floor. 330 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: Will Barton brings a bunch of ball pressure and he 331 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: rips Donovan Mitchell and goes down and dunks it. And 332 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,479 Speaker 1: like everyone in theren is just looking around at each other. 333 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 1: They can't even believe what just happened, and suddenly the 334 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: game is tied. UM. So the game goes to ot 335 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: and uh. Kyle Kuzman in particular was pretty sloppy and overtime. 336 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: He missed a couple of free throws, and then there 337 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: was another play where Bradley Beale drove baseline and Kyle 338 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: Kuzma was in the week side corner and de lawn 339 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: Right was in the dunker spot and as Beale was 340 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: going through, you know, we we talked about this a 341 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: lot off you guys remember over the summer when we 342 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: did our five out Offensive Principles video and we just 343 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: kind of broke down with five out offense looks like 344 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: but everything about you know, these dribble drive and kick 345 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: five out offenses depends on relocation. So like it's effectively 346 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: like a wheel. As players are iving and kicking, you're 347 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: always taking a spot and you're always causing people to 348 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: leave their spot and go to empty spots around the 349 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: floor and so on this play, Bill's driving baseline, And 350 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 1: so what was supposed to happen is de lan Right, 351 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: who's in the dunker spot, is supposed to vacate out 352 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: to the corner, and Kyle Kuzma is supposed to vacate 353 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: up to the wing, and then as Bill goes out 354 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: to the corner, then they all kind of loop around right. Well, instead, 355 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: what happened is Kuzma stayed parked in the corner, Delon 356 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: Right ran into him, and then Kuzma pointed at De 357 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: lawn Right to go up to the wing. And then 358 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: Kuzma went up to the wing with him, even though 359 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: he just told him to go up there. All of 360 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: a sudden, there's nobody in the corner, and that's your 361 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: main outlet as you're driving and kicking. Like every team 362 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: always wants to keep that corner, the strong side corner 363 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: and the weak side corner filled with shooting or just 364 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 1: an option, because when you're driving to the basket, it 365 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: is very difficult to make cross body passes back out 366 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: to the wing or to the top of the key. 367 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,959 Speaker 1: The easiest passes are to the corners. You gotta keep 368 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: them occupied. So just a couple of sloppy mistakes from 369 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: kuzma Um that caused him an issue on that particular turnover, 370 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: Chetty Osman ran out and got an and one, and 371 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: the game was basically over huge place from calves in 372 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: in O t um Carris Lavert had a really nasty 373 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: pull up jump shot on Bradley Beale, like a step 374 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: back at the left elbow where he got a ton 375 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: of separation. And then Donovan Mitchell blew right by Delon 376 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: Wright rejecting a pick and roll what got downhill and 377 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: and uh Um got an and one. Delan right in particular, 378 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: at a really hard time keeping Donovan Mitchell in front. 379 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: Down the stretch of this game, there was a not 380 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: only was he beating about the dribble, but at the 381 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: end of regulation, after the catastrophe from Donovan Mitchell that 382 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 1: caused the game to be tied, he hit his step 383 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: back move on Delan Right where he exited the frame 384 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: like he didn't fall, but like he was. He generated 385 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: fifteen feet of separation and Donovan Mitchell was completely wide 386 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: open on the right wing. He just missed the shot. So, UM, 387 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: i've it was interesting that Delon Right was even in 388 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: the game at that specific point. Um, I would probably 389 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: gone with Monty Morris, but I I it is, it 390 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: is what it is. I don't know. I haven't watched 391 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: the Wizards enough to have a really good feel for 392 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: how they all played together. I just thought that Delon 393 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: Right kind of felt like the weak link to me 394 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: in that closing lineup. Jared Allen has been the most 395 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: impressive Cavalier to me so far. You know what's funny 396 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: is is he I hated his contract when he signed it. 397 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: Some of you guys who have been listening for a 398 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: while I will probably remember that I just gotta crow 399 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: on that I was completely wrong. Um, he's a lot. 400 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: I hated it because I viewed him as like a 401 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: very traditional shot blocking center that can roll hard to 402 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: the rim and and have some vertical spacing. And I 403 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: hate the idea of spending, you know, twenty million dollars 404 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: a year on someone like that. But the truth is 405 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: is that Jared Allen is actually a lot closer to 406 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: go bear defensively than he is to like a Damian 407 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: Jones for instance. He is not a stay geotypical rim 408 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: protector and vertical spacer. He's one of the best in 409 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: the league at it right now who also switches out 410 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: to the perimeter really well. There was a play it 411 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: was either late regulation, I think it was ot where 412 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: he got switched out onto Bradley Beal and Bradley Bill 413 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: tried to pull Jared Allen out to the corner so 414 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: he could throw it down to the post, and in 415 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: the process Jared Allen just pressured up and Ball pressured him, 416 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: forced him to throw a very looping pass and it 417 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: ended up getting turned over. And I like he did. 418 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: He did well on switches throughout the game. I I 419 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: was really impressed by Jared Allen in this one. UM, 420 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: and now you know he's better offensively than Gobert. He 421 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: can punish switches and knocked down a little hook shot. 422 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: He's more, he's just he's just a damn good basketball player. UM, 423 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,959 Speaker 1: and now his contract looks a lot better than Rudy Gobert's. Obviously, 424 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert is a better player than Jared Allen. I 425 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: want to be clear about that, although I do think 426 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: it's closer than people think. UM, but at his number, 427 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: at his contract number, I'd certainly rather have UM Jared 428 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: Allen at this point. The Uh Cleveland so far as 429 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: eighth and half court defense according to Cleaning the Glass, 430 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: despite having a pretty bad defensive backcourt. So that's a 431 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: nice start for Cleveland. Moving on to Phoenix Clippers. This 432 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: game was over in the first quarter. Uh, just just 433 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: a clinic in perimeter defense from Phoenix. I was watching 434 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: this game and I made it like four or five 435 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: possessions in. I'm like, oh man, that like the Clippers 436 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: are not getting downhill at all. So I started tracking it. 437 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 1: Over the course of the rest of the quarter. We 438 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: got through seven minutes of basketball before a Clipper finally 439 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: got downhill. And in either engaged to help defender or 440 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: or made a layup. And on the play that they did, 441 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: it was a pocket passes Zoobots and I think Norm 442 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: Powell cut out of the corner and Zubos dropped it 443 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: down to him for a layup. But I was like, man, 444 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: that's the first time in almost the entire first quarter 445 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,239 Speaker 1: that they got downhill And the main reason why was 446 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: the mcale Bridges just absolutely locked Paul George up, like 447 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: Paul George is gonna have nightmare is about Michael Bridges 448 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: for weeks. And then they kept going to Marcus Morris 449 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: to attack Devin Booker because of the size mismatch. Into 450 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: Devin Booker's credit, he kept slidding his feet and taking 451 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: contact in the chest and forcing him to take tough 452 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: jump shots. He actually made a couple of them. But 453 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: like overall, on the perimeter, Phoenix contained the dribble drive 454 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: and if the Clippers don't get dribble penetration, their offense 455 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: falls apart. And I mean, yes, Kauai wasn't playing in 456 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: that first quarter, but Quaie in particular looks pretty slow 457 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: right now, and he didn't look great when he came 458 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: in later in the game, So just something to keep 459 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: an eye on for both teams like that. For Phoenix 460 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: is a legit weapon their ability to contain the basketball. Um. Yes, 461 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: Chris Paul doesn't look great yet, but they're getting so 462 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: much out of Devin Booker right now. Might not it 463 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 1: might not even matter. Phoenix very clearly is still more 464 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: than talented enough to win a ton of games in 465 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: this league. We'll get to them more in just a second. 466 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: But with the Clippers, they early in the season. John 467 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: Wall really is the only guy on the roster who's 468 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: been getting consistent germal penetration, and that's gonna be a 469 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,719 Speaker 1: problem for them. I've talked a little bit about how 470 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: I'm concerned about some of the age of their wings 471 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: and if Kauai and Paul George similar to the Embid 472 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: hardened things, similar to the Lebroni d thing. If Kawai 473 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: and Paul George don't start playing like top fifteen players soon, 474 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: the Clippers are gonna start to flounder a little bit. 475 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 1: Um and how deep this league is. So with Phoenix, 476 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: Chris Paul has been off to start the year, but 477 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: Booker has been so good that it doesn't matter his 478 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: shot making in that first quarter was insane. Hit a 479 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: nasty step back over Paul George at the left elbow. 480 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: He had like a one legged, like crazy double pump 481 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: short jump shot over Marcus Morris driving along the left 482 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: block that was insane. He had another nasty pull up three. 483 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: By around the three minute mark of the first quarter, 484 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: the Clippers were blatantly double teaming Devin Booker out at 485 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: half court to get the basketball out of his hands, 486 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: and immediately when they did, mcilbridge just got a dunk 487 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: because now you're playing four on three on the back end. 488 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,239 Speaker 1: But just like, if Booker is gonna be this good, 489 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: Booker has been playing like a top ten player to 490 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: start the season. If Booker is going to be this good, 491 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: then it just doesn't matter what's going on with Chris 492 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: Paul because how much talent there is on the rest 493 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: of the roster um. You know, we we questioned before 494 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: the season, will they, you know, flounder in the standings 495 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: because of some of this drama, And I said, I 496 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: was like, I don't know, they might, But what I 497 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: said was they have the most was like, some of 498 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: the most talent on the on the entire league outside 499 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 1: of their stars. So you know just by going out 500 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: there and putting the jersey on, they're gonna win a 501 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: lot of games, and so far they're off to a 502 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: good start. Before we get out of here for the day, 503 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: I wanted to just drop a couple of thoughts from 504 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: the Lakers, um some positives to after what what everything 505 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 1: that went down yesterday. I have not had a chance 506 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: to completely rewatch this game. I'm gonna do that tomorrow 507 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: during the day. Um, So keep an eye on my 508 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: Twitter feed during the day tomorrow. A couple of big 509 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: bright spots. The Lakers are second in defensive rating. Yes, 510 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: we've been critical of their perimeter shooting for good reason. 511 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: I said before the season, they're gonna be the worst 512 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: in the league, but it won't be this bad. Like 513 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: they're literally shooting, you know, and the twenty nine ranked 514 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: shooting team in the league is just under thirty percent. 515 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: So like, yeah, I don't think shooting is going to 516 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: be a strength of this team unless they make a deal, 517 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 1: which they will hopefully eventually. But the truth of the 518 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: matter is is they're they're gonna shoot closer to thirty 519 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: percent and closer to with the number two defense in 520 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,360 Speaker 1: the league is going to be enough to bump their 521 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: offensive rating down up from the worst in the league 522 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: to something closer to the middle of the pack. Now, 523 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: you know, I had a couple of people in the 524 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: comments yesterday saying, like, how could you view this team 525 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: as a second tier contender? Again, if you are a 526 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: top five defense and you are a top fifteen offense, Like, 527 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: if you're around fifteen in offense, you absolutely are right 528 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: up there with the Phoenixes and the Denvers and the 529 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: sixers of the league. That's that's that second tier of contenders. Yeah, 530 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 1: they're not talented enough to be a Slippers Celtics, Bucks 531 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: Warriors type of team. That goes without saying they would 532 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: need an enormous amount of luck in the trade market 533 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: and in the buyout market to reach that point. But 534 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: if they are a top five defense, they have Lebron 535 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: James and Anthony Davis scrounging out a top fifteen offense. 536 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: That's a simple math. You're going to be a team 537 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: that's capable of beating anybody in the league on the 538 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: right night. Now, so much of that is going to 539 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: depend on them getting that shooting back up to where 540 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: it was and getting Russ out of the rotation. Particularly 541 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: and crunch time, because you're gonna lose some games that way. 542 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: But I just wanted to draw put a little bit 543 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: of positivity on this because for being oh and three, 544 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: to have a couple of specific things you can point 545 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: to as big positives, like being a great defensive team, 546 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: that's something you can cling to, especially in that locker 547 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: room when you're trying to keep people bought in when 548 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: the winds aren't actually following the work that you're putting in. 549 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: Here's another really good stat The Lakers have played thirty 550 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: eight possessions so far this year with Lebron and Anthony 551 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: Davis on the floor without Russell Westbrook have a plus 552 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,239 Speaker 1: thirteen point two net rating, meaning they're beating teams by 553 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: thirteen point two points per one possessions. And they've been 554 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: awesome on both ends of the floor. So and that's 555 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: too that to me is with Lebron and a d 556 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: still not really playing that well. Like, I think they've 557 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: each had two great halves of basketball. I think Anthony 558 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: Davis was great in the first half against the Warriors. 559 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: I thought Lebron was great in the second half against 560 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 1: the Warriors. And I thought both of them were great 561 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: in the second half against the Blazers, but everything else 562 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: has been pretty average by their standards, so they still 563 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: have a lot that they can improve on. But even 564 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: in spite of that, the two of them without Russ 565 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: have been a dominant basketball team. That's a legitimate plus 566 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: that you can take from this. And then the last 567 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: thing I wanted to say, I think it's time to 568 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: send Russ home. Okay, So you want to play it cool, 569 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: and you want to be patient, and you want to 570 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: wait for the right trade. I get that. I mean, 571 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: I don't get it at the expense of having Russ 572 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: in the law locker room, but I get that. Now 573 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: on the court, you have immense depth in the back court. 574 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: You actually don't need what Russ brings you. Troy Brown Jr. 575 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: Came in yesterday and basically played the Russ role through, 576 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,719 Speaker 1: you know, the most of that second half run, you know, 577 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: just just doing the things that they're asking Russ to do. 578 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: Defend a little bit, bigger wings, you know, push the 579 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: ball in transition, play off of Lebron and a d. 580 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: He did all of those things and did them better 581 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: than Russ does, because that's what he's been doing his 582 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: whole career. He's been a role player his whole career. 583 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: Russ is trying to learn how to be a role 584 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: player on the fly. So you're better without Russ. The 585 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: numbers show that, Everything shows that. So rather than like, guys, 586 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: that's toxic. After the Clippers game, I'm pretty sure a 587 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: fan like cussed Russ out as he's walking out into 588 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: the locker room. Yesterday, Lakers players are answering questions about 589 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: the Russ crunch time thing. Lebron's having to tell reporters like, Hey, 590 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell you what you want me to say. 591 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: You know, we had one Toscano Ander Sin having to 592 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: defend Russ in the locker room after the Clippers game. 593 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: The media is doing their job. They're asking those questions 594 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: because it's their job. One of the biggest stories early 595 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: in the season is how clunky the rust fit is, 596 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: and it literally cost them a game on Sunday against 597 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: the Blazers. So we can pretend all we want that 598 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: it's not a big story. It is. It is the 599 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: biggest story. It's the biggest story with this Lakers team. 600 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: That's the reality. Okay. The second biggest story is probably 601 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: the shooting issue. The shooting issue. The only way they 602 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: can resolve it is by trading Russ, So everything comes 603 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: back to us at the end of the day. The 604 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: reporters are just doing their jobs by asking those questions. 605 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: The real culprit here is Robin Genie for not knowing 606 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: somehow or just choosing to not accept the truth that 607 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: if they brought Russ back, the basketball would be clunky, 608 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: the fans would have a huge problem with it, and 609 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: the media would would help stoke that fire because it's 610 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: good for media success. All of that is fact, and 611 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: they knew that we had tons of evidence to show 612 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: that last year, and they brought Russ into this anyway. 613 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: They did this to him. He is a victim of 614 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: what Robin Genie have done to him. The media is 615 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: doing their job. Russ is the story. The fans have 616 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: every right to be upset. Their team is struggling because 617 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: because of the Rush trade and the rust fit is 618 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: clunky and is hurting the team right now. All of 619 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: that is true, but they also are playing well without 620 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: Russ and have enough depth in the backcourt that they 621 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: don't need him. So spare everybody the trouble. Let him 622 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: go home to his family, Let him stay in shape 623 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: and condition, he'll get moved somewhere. The next time he 624 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: plays basketball will be for a team that wants him 625 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: there and that wants him to have the basketball in 626 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: his hands. And or he'll be out of the league 627 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: long enough that he'll embrace the role player things and 628 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: at that point he can play basketball in a less 629 00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: toxic environment. Then the Lakers can patient. If they want 630 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: to wait till the deadline to make a deal, they can, 631 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: but at least in the meantime they've got all players 632 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: that fit alongside Lebron James and Anthony Davis, and they 633 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: have time to build continuity with those lineups, because when 634 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: you make the Rush trade, all you'll be doing is 635 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: bringing in more players to help supplement that. There's just 636 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: no reason to keep him around at this point, Darvin Ham, 637 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: you got to save him from himself. He can't help himself. 638 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: But put Russ into the game for whatever reason, Darvin 639 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: Ham said after the game. Why they asked him, why 640 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: did you go with Russ and Crunch time when that 641 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: lineup was playing so well? He said, I wanted more athletic. 642 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: I wanted another athletic perimeter defender out there. Troy Brown 643 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: is a better athletic perimeter defender than Russ. Right now, 644 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: that's that that that he played better defensively in that 645 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: game yesterday. So Darvin Ham is not seeing it or 646 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: is willingly going against it. For the sake of Russ's ego, 647 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: you have to save Darvin from himself by getting Russ 648 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: out of the locker room. If Rob Polinko wants to 649 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: methodically work out and have an opportunity to prove to 650 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: us that patience was the right strategy to the Rush trade, fine, 651 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: but don't subject Russ to this anymore. Don't subject the 652 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: basketball team to this anymore. Send him home like it'll 653 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: be better for literally everyone involved, and then not to 654 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: mention it will help you regain leverage and negotiations when 655 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: the Russ basketball is like right now, you look desperate 656 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: because Russ is out there hurting your team. Send him home. 657 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: I don't care if you take two three months to 658 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: make a trade at that point. At the very least, 659 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: let this team, this group learn how to play with 660 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: each other.
