Speaker 1: All right, Welcome to Hoops Tonight, presented by FanDuel. Here
Speaker 1: at the volume, I'm Jason tim Tappy Wednesday. Everybody. Today,
Speaker 1: we're just gonna be breaking down that extremely interesting basketball
Speaker 1: game last night between the Clippers and the Minnesota Timberwolves,
Speaker 1: which did not go the way that I expected. Will
Speaker 1: get into why here just a minute, and then we're
Speaker 1: gonna break down what I think is going to be
Speaker 1: a very interesting first round playoff series between the Timberwolves
Speaker 1: and the Memphis Grizzlies a to seven matchup, But I
Speaker 1: think the teams are a little bit closer than they
Speaker 1: appear on the surface. We will get into that, but
Speaker 1: let's start with last night. So I picked the Clippers,
Speaker 1: and the main reason why is because, as you guys know,
Speaker 1: if you've listened to the show for a while, I'm
Speaker 1: a huge believer in the Clippers system. I think they're
Speaker 1: extremely well coached. Tyler, even after last night, is fast
Speaker 1: becoming one of my favorite coaches in all of basketball.
Speaker 1: His understanding of the way the game is changing and
Speaker 1: his willingness to adapt with the game rather than than
Speaker 1: being caught behind is why I'm drawn to him so much.
Speaker 1: And then I knew it would be relatively close with
Speaker 1: it being a road matchup in Minnesota and the way
Speaker 1: that they would play in front of their home crowd
Speaker 1: in terms of their energy, and so what it came
Speaker 1: down to for me was when the game was close.
Speaker 1: Basketball games always come down to decision making. It's not
Speaker 1: neces necessarily even about a skill set. It's about decision
Speaker 1: making because even very skilled players can make poor decisions,
Speaker 1: especially when they're young. Even in that Brooklyn Nets Cavaliers
Speaker 1: game that we talked about last night. You know, Darius
Speaker 1: Garland is a very skilled player, but he's young, and
Speaker 1: I thought his approach to attacking the Nets defense wasn't
Speaker 1: the smartest approach. It's something that five ten years from now,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be so savvy with his you know, ability
Speaker 1: to dissect NBA defenses that he'll be able to handle that.
Speaker 1: But right now he's not capable of that. So what
Speaker 1: I was thinking was, you got Reggie Jackson, who's not
Speaker 1: an amazing basketball player compared to his peers in the NBA,
Speaker 1: but he's an average NBA point guard. But he's a
Speaker 1: veteran player at this point with a lot of playoff reps.
Speaker 1: And then you've got Paul George, who we can make
Speaker 1: fun of his playoff past, but he completely shed that
Speaker 1: last year. This is a guy that is as reliable
Speaker 1: as you can have in those situations, and he was
Speaker 1: excellent last night. So I was sitting there thinking, like,
Speaker 1: I've got a really young guard and Anthony Edwards and
Speaker 1: another kind of young guard in D'Angelo Russell who doesn't
Speaker 1: have a ton of playoff experience versus two guys who
Speaker 1: played really well in the playoffs last year, Paul George,
Speaker 1: with a ton of playoff experience and probably just better
Speaker 1: basketball players, and those guys are gonna be the ones
Speaker 1: determining shot quality down the stretch of the game. And
Speaker 1: so I was under the impression that that would tilt
Speaker 1: towards the Clippers, and I was very wrong. And there
Speaker 1: are a couple of different reasons for that. First of all,
Speaker 1: when Karl Anthony Towns went out, and you know, we
Speaker 1: can have a separate conversation about Karl Anthony Towns here
Speaker 1: in a second, but he kind of checked out of
Speaker 1: that game mentally in a lot of different ways, and
Speaker 1: we'll get into that. But when he went down, you
Speaker 1: saw a different concoction of players that Minnesota went with.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of nos Reid, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of going with you know, more at length and athleticism
Speaker 1: and made it so that they could switch more easily.
Speaker 1: And the Minnesota Timberwolves are really good dribble contained team.
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about this a little bit more when
Speaker 1: we get into previewing their first round series. But they
Speaker 1: give up the sixth fewest drives according to the NBA
Speaker 1: NBA's tracking database, they get up the sixth fewest drives
Speaker 1: in UH in all of basketball this year. So their
Speaker 1: perimeter players do a good job of containing ball handlers.
Speaker 1: So when you got rid of Karl Anthony Towns and
Speaker 1: you went more athletic, those five guys did a lot
Speaker 1: more switching, and they're so good at dribble contain that
Speaker 1: it put a lot on Paul George and Reggie Jackson.
Speaker 1: And what you saw was Paul George was able to
Speaker 1: get to his pull up jump shot, but the few
Speaker 1: times that he tried to drive to the basket, I
Speaker 1: thought Jared Vanderbilt did an Excuse me, Jade McDaniels did
Speaker 1: a really nice job of funneling him behind the backboard
Speaker 1: to where he couldn't really do anything. So he turned
Speaker 1: Paul George into a pull up jump shooter, which, because
Speaker 1: Paul George is one of the best players in the
Speaker 1: n b A, he still made a bunch of those shots.
Speaker 1: And you know, special shout out to Paul George. I
Speaker 1: am so utterly blown away by how polished he is
Speaker 1: at this point in his career. If you look at
Speaker 1: the way he what he looked like coming out of college,
Speaker 1: kind of was similar to Quiet a lot of ways
Speaker 1: where he was more of just like a NBA teams
Speaker 1: didn't really know what he was gonna be. Just a
Speaker 1: big athletic forward, could do some stuff with the basketball,
Speaker 1: but you didn't know what he was gonna be. The
Speaker 1: amount of work that he had to put in over
Speaker 1: the course of this last decade to polish his handle
Speaker 1: in his jump shot to the point where he can
Speaker 1: get to any dribble combination, in any jump shot, in
Speaker 1: any spot on the floor. Just a huge shout out
Speaker 1: to Paul George. I was blown away yet again by
Speaker 1: him last night. He's one of my favorite players in
Speaker 1: the league, and I think he's so incredibly fun and
Speaker 1: appealing to watch. But Jared Jared Vanderbilt, excuse, excuse me,
Speaker 1: Jaden McDaniels, I keep getting these athletic forwards confused. Jaden
Speaker 1: McDaniels did an amazing job of forcing Paul George into
Speaker 1: becoming a jump shooter. And then overall, Patrick Beverley did
Speaker 1: an amazing job on Reggie Jackson making everything difficult for him.
Speaker 1: I thought his ball pressure wore Reggie Jackson down to
Speaker 1: the point where he was struggling to finish at the rim.
Speaker 1: There was that actually a key possession late where he
Speaker 1: got a step and got all the weight to the
Speaker 1: rim and missed the layup, which is a textbook case
Speaker 1: of you losing your legs as the game goes along. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: on the other end, the two guys that I thought
Speaker 1: would be not up to this challenge played extremely well,
Speaker 1: and that's Anthony Edwards and D'Angelo Russell. We're gonna mainly
Speaker 1: focus on Anthony Edwards. So D'Angelo Russell made two huge
Speaker 1: shots at the end of that game. There's that pull
Speaker 1: up transition three that he made that gave the Wolves
Speaker 1: the lead and kind of changed the complexion of the game.
Speaker 1: And then there was that pull up jumper hit going
Speaker 1: to the right towards the end. I kind of iced
Speaker 1: the game, but Anthony Edwards. The game turned when Anthony
Speaker 1: Edwards understood finally that nobody on that entire Clippers roster
Speaker 1: could prevent him from getting to the rim. And it's
Speaker 1: the combination of his size and strength with his speed.
Speaker 1: He's got an incredibly quick first step, as well as
Speaker 1: his ability to handle the basketball and his threat as
Speaker 1: a jump shooter that opens all of this up. This
Speaker 1: is something that I talk about all the time, especially
Speaker 1: with James Harden. There's a dynamic that takes place in
Speaker 1: individual defense. There's like a pendulum that swings one way
Speaker 1: or the other. When a defender feels confident in his
Speaker 1: ability to keep a player in front, he can press
Speaker 1: up more, which disrupts the jump shot, takes away the
Speaker 1: ability to comfortably dribble the basketball, and it'll it gives
Speaker 1: the defensive player of the advantage. One of the issues
Speaker 1: with James Harden. He can't beat people off the dribble anymore,
Speaker 1: so defenders are crowding him more, which is making it
Speaker 1: a lot harder for him to make his step back
Speaker 1: jump shot, and it's taking away a lot of his
Speaker 1: ability to play make for his teammates well. Anthony Edwards
Speaker 1: is the idea of the opposite end of that pendulum.
Speaker 1: When the defensive player knows that they can't keep a
Speaker 1: player in front, they have to give more space, a
Speaker 1: lot more space. Think about think of it like football
Speaker 1: a tackle. Usually a tackle has a massive size advantage
Speaker 1: over a defensive end, but a defensive end is usually
Speaker 1: way quicker, and so a lot of times you'll see
Speaker 1: tackles kind of get as far off the line of
Speaker 1: scrimmage while the rest will allow them to still be
Speaker 1: considered on the line of scrimmage, to try to buy
Speaker 1: just a little bit of extra space because they know
Speaker 1: that first step that they take back is not going
Speaker 1: to be as quick as the first step that the
Speaker 1: defensive end takes. They're trying to compensate for their lack
Speaker 1: of speed with more space. It's very similar concept in
Speaker 1: individual defense. If I don't think I'm nearly as quick
Speaker 1: as you, I need to give ground so that if
Speaker 1: you try to take an angle to beat me to
Speaker 1: the basket, I have a shorter distance to cover to
Speaker 1: get there, so that I can make up for it
Speaker 1: with my lack of speed. And so what you're seeing
Speaker 1: with guys like Anthony Edwards is defenders are constantly on
Speaker 1: their heels, which not only opens up his pull up
Speaker 1: jump shot. He had a huge step back three at
Speaker 1: the end of that game that he was wide open
Speaker 1: on and had tons of space because the defender was
Speaker 1: on his heels. And then what you're noticing is Anthony
Speaker 1: Edwards when he hits that whole even though the defenders
Speaker 1: giving ground, even though the defenders trying to beat him
Speaker 1: to the spot. He's so strong that he can just
Speaker 1: go right through people, and so it can puts you
Speaker 1: in an awful conundrum. It's very similar to the Lebron
Speaker 1: James type of dynamic. He's not Lebron James, obviously, he's
Speaker 1: a lot smaller, but it's a similar dynamic. At the
Speaker 1: guard position, he's big and strong and he's so fast
Speaker 1: that you have to give ground. But when you give ground,
Speaker 1: he comes at you with the head of steam. And
Speaker 1: when he comes at you with a head of steam,
Speaker 1: he can go through you. And that's what makes him
Speaker 1: such a dynamic player. Obviously, he's going to have to
Speaker 1: improve as a jump shooter as time goes on in
Speaker 1: order to reach his overall ceiling. But he hit a
Speaker 1: ceiling that I didn't think he was capable of at
Speaker 1: this point in his career. He was able to outplay
Speaker 1: Paul George and Reggie Jackson in a pivotal playoff game,
Speaker 1: which turned the outcome of that game. I was predicting
Speaker 1: the Clippers because I believed in their perimeter decision makers,
Speaker 1: and I was wrong. Anthony Edwards arguably was the best
Speaker 1: player at the end of that game. That was my bad.
Speaker 1: I was off on that that's why Minnesota was able
Speaker 1: to get a win. One last note on that game
Speaker 1: before we move on to breaking down the Wolves in
Speaker 1: the Grizzly series. Karl Anthony Towns. Do I think the
Speaker 1: Timberwolves are better without Karl Anthon Town's. No, do I
Speaker 1: think that Karl Anthony Towns is as bad as he
Speaker 1: showed last night. No, everyone who's I've I had like
Speaker 1: two or three games when I was in college when
Speaker 1: I got in foul trouble. Foul trouble is a complete
Speaker 1: It completely screws up your head because all you can
Speaker 1: think about when you're on the floor is your foul count.
Speaker 1: It disrupts everything that you're trying to do on the floor,
Speaker 1: All those long breaks you have to take while you're
Speaker 1: coaching staff is trying to figure out when to play
Speaker 1: you massively disrupts your rhythm. You don't feel comfortable when
Speaker 1: you have the ball in your hands because you haven't
Speaker 1: been on the floor very much. And yes, once again,
Speaker 1: you're thinking about your foul trouble the whole time. You're
Speaker 1: paranoid that if you drive to the basket, make an
Speaker 1: aggressive move, the dude will flop and you'll pick up
Speaker 1: an offensive foul. It can be it can be disastrous
Speaker 1: to your confidence on the court. So I want to
Speaker 1: cut Cat some slack. But there's a reason why the
Speaker 1: Timberwolves played better without him, and it's something that he's
Speaker 1: gonna have to understand as he develops further into his career.
Speaker 1: You have to have something that you can rely on
Speaker 1: when your offensive game isn't working, and that has to
Speaker 1: become the defensive end of the floor for him. He's
Speaker 1: become a better defensive player. He's played better defense this
Speaker 1: year than he has in years passed, but he's got
Speaker 1: to get to the point where when his shots not falling,
Speaker 1: when his offensive rhythm is off, he has to find
Speaker 1: a way to impact the game more than he has been,
Speaker 1: and a big part of that is going to be
Speaker 1: working on his foot speed and being able to keep
Speaker 1: people in front on the perimeter, because Minnesota is a
Speaker 1: very good perimeter defense team, and if he could move
Speaker 1: his feet like that, they could do more switching, which
Speaker 1: would get rid of some of his limitations as a
Speaker 1: pick and roll defender. When he plays traditional pick and
Speaker 1: roll coverages. He's just not quite athletic enough, especially from
Speaker 1: a standing vert, to be able to disrupt plays around
Speaker 1: the rim. So it would be easier if you could
Speaker 1: do more switching, especially with all of the dribble contained
Speaker 1: guys they have on the roster, if Cat could switch
Speaker 1: as well. So that's the thing he's gonna have to
Speaker 1: work on, is he gets better, because when he does that,
Speaker 1: he'll be able to derive confidence from the way he's
Speaker 1: playing on defense, which will help him avoid games like
Speaker 1: he had last night. But let's move on to what
Speaker 1: I think is gonna be a very interesting first round
Speaker 1: series between the Wolves and the Grizzlies. So I think
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a super interesting series, especially as
Speaker 1: a two seven matchup goes. If you look at it
Speaker 1: on the surface, you think way better basketball team Grizzlies
Speaker 1: are gonna run away with it. I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be closer than people think. First of all, I'm picking
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies think they'll win in five or six games.
Speaker 1: But I think the games are all gonna be very competitive,
Speaker 1: and I do think it's gonna be a much more
Speaker 1: entertaining series than the outcome would would imply. First of all,
Speaker 1: home team won all four games this year. They split
Speaker 1: the season series to two. That's not entirely uncommon for
Speaker 1: a young team that's athletic. Both of these teams are
Speaker 1: young and athletic for them to feed on the home
Speaker 1: crowd and to play well when they're at home, This
Speaker 1: series is going to be crazy up and down. These
Speaker 1: are two of the fastest pace teams that we have
Speaker 1: in the league. The Timberwolves are actually the fastest pace
Speaker 1: and the Grizzlies are the fourth fastest pace. So expected
Speaker 1: to be up and down, super athletic, high flying, very entertaining.
Speaker 1: It'll be a fun series to watch. Like I did
Speaker 1: with the other series, what I'd like to do is
Speaker 1: split this into two sections. So we'll look at it
Speaker 1: with the Timberwolves on defense, and then we'll look at
Speaker 1: it with the Grizzlies on defense. So let's start with
Speaker 1: the Timberwolves on defense. So they were and defensive rating
Speaker 1: this year, which is okay when you dive into the numbers.
Speaker 1: They were okay in paint points allowed, they were eleventh
Speaker 1: in the league, especially when you factor in Karl Anthony
Speaker 1: Towns as your back line defender there, who's been better
Speaker 1: this year than he was in years past, but still
Speaker 1: not an elite rim protector by any stretch of the imagination.
Speaker 1: So the credit for that goes to the perimeter players.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned earlier when we were talking about the
Speaker 1: Clippers game, the Timberwolves were sixth and drives allowed per
Speaker 1: game per the NBA dot COM's tracking data. That data
Speaker 1: cannot be filtered for pace either with the way that
Speaker 1: the website is set up. So when you factor in
Speaker 1: that the Timberwolves played the fastest pace in the NBA,
Speaker 1: they're probably a top two or three team in the
Speaker 1: league waited for pace in containing ball handlers on the perimeter,
Speaker 1: in limiting dribble drives. You saw that in that Clippers
Speaker 1: game tonight, making things very very difficult on Reggie Jackson
Speaker 1: and turning Paul George into a jump shooter, which is
Speaker 1: a huge part of why they were able to come
Speaker 1: back and win that game. That's gonna be an interesting,
Speaker 1: interesting dynamic against the Grizzlies, who rely on John Morant
Speaker 1: as a dribble penetrator. You know, Desmond Baine is not
Speaker 1: a great, you know, dribble penetrator in terms of isolation possessions.
Speaker 1: He's more of a slasher kind of attacking closeouts and
Speaker 1: things like that. Jaren Jackson Jr. Is more of like
Speaker 1: a mismatch attacker, trying to put his head down and
Speaker 1: go to the rim. So I think it's gonna put
Speaker 1: a strain on the Grizzlies defense and their ability to
Speaker 1: generate rim pressure. This is where it's going to be
Speaker 1: the test on John Moran. I've said many times that
Speaker 1: John Morant is the kind of guy that nobody can
Speaker 1: keep in front, and we're gonna put that to the
Speaker 1: test in this series against a very very good dribble
Speaker 1: contain team. I would imagine you'll see a mix of
Speaker 1: guys like Patrick Beverley on him and then more long
Speaker 1: athletes as well to try to change things up. They
Speaker 1: did a really nice job of turning John Morand into
Speaker 1: a jump shooter in their matchups this year. In matchups
Speaker 1: specifically with the Timberwolves John Ran, it was three for
Speaker 1: twenty from three. Like I said, I expect John Morand
Speaker 1: to eventually be a very good three point shooter, but
Speaker 1: he's in that inconsistent phase of shooting development. Young players
Speaker 1: always struggle with replicating their success. They tinker with their
Speaker 1: form too much. It's a big part of why they
Speaker 1: get inconsistent. John rand is kind of in that phase.
Speaker 1: So huge part of this series is gonna be is
Speaker 1: John Morand shooting well at this point in time or
Speaker 1: is he shooting poorly? Because I would imagine part of
Speaker 1: the game plan to try to help contain John Morand
Speaker 1: is gonna be going underneath screens and forcing him to
Speaker 1: be a jump shooter. The biggest weakness of the Timberwolves
Speaker 1: defense happens to be a thing that the Grizzlies aren't
Speaker 1: great at. It's kind of a similar dynamic that I
Speaker 1: was looking at in the Chicago Bulls in the Milwaukee
Speaker 1: Bucks series, like you can't beat your honest because he's
Speaker 1: way better than you, but maybe your team has a
Speaker 1: weakness or their team as a weakness that your team
Speaker 1: has a strength and can compensate for some of that
Speaker 1: talent difference. The Milwaukee Bucks give up the most wide
Speaker 1: open threes and all of basketball, like I've said so
Speaker 1: many times this year, and the Chicago Bulls are dead
Speaker 1: last and three pointers attempted per games, So the Chicago
Speaker 1: Bulls aren't going to generate enough threes to capitalize on
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Milwaukee's greatest weakness. Similar kind of dynamic here. The
Speaker 1: Timberwolves are not a great three point defense. They give
Speaker 1: up the fourth most wide open threes in basketball, and
Speaker 1: they give them up to the wrong people. Their sixth
Speaker 1: and three point percentage allowed on those wide open three
Speaker 1: so they're not leaving the right guys open, if that
Speaker 1: makes sense. But the problem is Memphis is twenty three
Speaker 1: and three pointers attempted per games, so their team doesn't
Speaker 1: generate a ton of three point shots again waited for
Speaker 1: pace that could be even worse. So on the defensive
Speaker 1: end of the floor for the Timberwolves, I actually think
Speaker 1: they're gonna hold their own. This is gonna be a
Speaker 1: really really interesting dynamic there. It's the other end of
Speaker 1: the floor where the Grizzlies are on defense where I
Speaker 1: think they have their biggest advantage. So when you look
Speaker 1: at the Grizzlies defense, it's interesting because they're sixth and
Speaker 1: defensive rating, But when you kind of dive into it,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that they're pretty average at.
Speaker 1: Their average paint defense, their average allowing dribble drives, their
Speaker 1: average defensive rebounding team, which is an important part of
Speaker 1: finishing defensive possessions. The key to the Grizzlies defense and
Speaker 1: the reason why they are so good is they defend
Speaker 1: the three point line well, and they get out in
Speaker 1: transition their second and turnovers forced, and they don't give
Speaker 1: up a ton of wide open threes. It's a huge
Speaker 1: part of why their defense has held together despite being
Speaker 1: average in a bunch of other places on the floor.
Speaker 1: I think a huge part of this defense is gonna
Speaker 1: be how the types of threes that they give up.
Speaker 1: So Minnesota leads the league this year and three pointers
Speaker 1: attempted and three pointers made, so Minnesota generates a ton
Speaker 1: of three point shots more than anybody else in the
Speaker 1: entire league. But Anthony Edwards and D'angela Russell are bad
Speaker 1: pull up jump shooters. So there are sixty players this
Speaker 1: year in the entire NBA that have attempted at least
Speaker 1: five pull up jump shots per game. D'angela Russell's only
Speaker 1: shooting thirty on those pull up jump shots, which is
Speaker 1: forty five out of those sixty qualifying players. Anthony Edwards
Speaker 1: dead last thirty two point five percent. So even though
Speaker 1: they're a great three point shooting team in their driving
Speaker 1: kick game, they are not a good pull up shooting team.
Speaker 1: With their two primary ball handlers, that kind of puts
Speaker 1: them in a predicament that I think Memphis is gonna
Speaker 1: be able to figure out how to shut them down.
Speaker 1: First of all, we talked about this earlier with Karl
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns. We won't get too much into it further,
Speaker 1: but curly, Karl Anthony Towns is at his best when
Speaker 1: he's operating on the low block, when you crowd him.
Speaker 1: He's not a great passer and he struggles with all
Speaker 1: that length and athleticism. You saw the Clippers do that
Speaker 1: to him last night. I think Memphis will do that
Speaker 1: to him as well in this game, in this particular matchup.
Speaker 1: So a lot is going to be put on Anthony
Speaker 1: Edwards in D'Angelo Russell. Again, in last night, they made
Speaker 1: enough shots. D'Angel Russell and Anthony Edwards made big, pivotal
Speaker 1: pull up shots, but for the most part this season
Speaker 1: they haven't. And in this particular matchup this season against
Speaker 1: the Memphis Grizzlies, part of the reason why they went
Speaker 1: to and two is D'Angel Russell and Anthony Edwards were
Speaker 1: making jump shots in those games in particular. But that's
Speaker 1: four games out of eight. Two You're gonna play him
Speaker 1: seven times in a row. Now, it'll be interesting. To
Speaker 1: see if they can knock down shots. The key to
Speaker 1: Minnesota having any chance of winning this series, it's Anthony
Speaker 1: Edwards and D'angela Russell making jump shots as Memphis packs
Speaker 1: the paint and goes under screening rolls and does all
Speaker 1: those things to try to take away the easy stuff
Speaker 1: that they can generate, especially with Anthony Edwards in the
Speaker 1: threat that he is putting his head down and driving
Speaker 1: to the rim. Like I talked about in the Clippers game,
Speaker 1: the game turned when Anthony Edward started putting his head
Speaker 1: down and going to the rim. But he has a
Speaker 1: tendency to settle a lot. It's been one of his
Speaker 1: issues in his young development. Not a criticism, it's typical
Speaker 1: for young players. It's part of that decision making thing
Speaker 1: we were talking about earlier. So a huge part of
Speaker 1: this series for Minnesota to have any chance will be
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards continuing to apply rim pressure. If he does that,
Speaker 1: it will help them to develop the generate those wide
Speaker 1: open threes. Also, it makes it so that Anthony Edwards
Speaker 1: gets high quality um pull up jump shots, so kind
Speaker 1: of like that James Harden dynamic that I was talking
Speaker 1: about earlier. That's gonna be the interesting dynamic in this series.
Speaker 1: One of the better three point defense teams in the
Speaker 1: league in Memphis, going against the team that generates the
Speaker 1: most three point shots and three point makes in the league.
Speaker 1: This is this side of the floor is where I
Speaker 1: think Memphis is gonna take control of the series and
Speaker 1: end up winning. I see this series going five or
Speaker 1: six games. I do think Memphis ends up winning it,
Speaker 1: but I think all the games individually will be competitive
Speaker 1: and highly entertaining. Up and down basketball athletic above the
Speaker 1: rim should be a really really interesting series. Alright, guys,
Speaker 1: that is all I have for today. I appreciate your
Speaker 1: guys support as always, and I'll see you tomorrow.
