We're doing three game reactions today. The Sacramento 36 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: Kings tried out their new DeMar deroz In look against 37 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors. After that we're going to take 38 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: a look at the Spurs and the Magic. The debut 39 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: of Chris Paul and Victor Webbin Yamen together and then 40 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: at the tail end, I got a good look at 41 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: the Miami Heat in their starting group in the first 42 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: half against Charlotte a couple days ago, so we're going 43 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: to talk about that. And then I've got fifteen clips 44 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: in a session of Timp's tape at the tail end 45 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: of the show as well.

I do 53 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,839 Speaker 1: want to hit the Oklahoma City Thunder, who tried their 54 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: starting lineup yesterday and looked amazing, but I haven't had 55 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: a chance to get to that game yet. I plan 56 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: on I recorded with Claire d loun yesterday on the 57 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: GM survey that's going out on Friday, But on Friday morning, 58 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: I plan on hitting that Thunder game as well as 59 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: probably the Lakers, Bucks game from later tonight, so we'll 60 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: have like a small short preseason reaction and then we'll 61 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: also have the GM survey for tomorrow. But let's not 62 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: Golden State Sacramento. So Sacramento ended up going with their 63 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: smaller starting group, as was kind of reported around the league, 64 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: kean Ellis alongside Dearon Fox in the back court, with 65 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: DeMar de Rozen at the three, Keegan Murray at the four, 66 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 1: and then Sabonis at the five. I was concerned about 67 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: how they'd hold up physically, both on the glass and 68 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: on the defensive end. They held up really well on 69 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: the glass, only gave up four offensive rebounds in the 70 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: entire game, but their defense was a disaster. They gave 71 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: up one point two points per half court possession to 72 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: Golden State. That's like a really, really bad number. They're 73 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: constantly losing shooters all over the place, falling down, running 74 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: into screens, all that kind of stuff. Golden State ended 75 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: up getting one point five points per jump shot in 76 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: the first half, and they were a lot of really 77 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: good looks, so obviously a lot they got to tighten 78 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: up defensively, but we knew that was going to be 79 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: the case. The DeRozan fit on offense was literally perfect 80 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: as I figured it would be. It's just this too 81 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: much of a natural basketball fit in terms of the 82 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: way his skill set kind of meshes with Sacramento's five 83 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: out attack and the way that they like to run 84 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: action going from side to side and having guys coming 85 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: off of like pinned downs into dribble handoffs. With Sabonis 86 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: coming out of the corner. It just is too much 87 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: of an obvious fit. And his first bucket was a 88 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: classic Chicago action out of the left corner, Draymond Green 89 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: went under the screen. He hits the elbow jumper right 90 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: second bucket another elbow jumper coming off of a dribble 91 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,239 Speaker 1: handoff into a Sabonis ball screen. His third bucket, another 92 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: elbow jumper coming off of a Sabonus drible handoff. You 93 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: guys get the point. It's just his skill set just 94 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: so perfectly lines up with what the Kings try to do. 95 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: It's just such a seamless offensive fit. His fourth bucket 96 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: was this like really tough, like Kobe esque left shoulder 97 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: fade over Kyle Anderson ry pump bake three times and 98 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: then rows up and knocked the shot down. But his 99 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: fifth bucket once again, same kind of thing, double wide 100 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: pinned down. This time some bonus was operating as a 101 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: passing fulcrum from the opposite side, comes around guys chasing. 102 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: No one's in help because there's not a big guy 103 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: involved in so since it's not a big guy involved, 104 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: DeRozan curled this one, got into lane, absorbed the contact 105 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,799 Speaker 1: and made a little floater. But perhaps the most important 106 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: bucket that he got in the game was a six bucket, 107 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: which was him spotting up in the right corner with 108 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: Dearon Fox running action out of the left side of 109 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: the floor, and he was able to hit a three 110 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: in the corner. And that's gonna be the important piece 111 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,239 Speaker 1: because I think Fox is going to be pretty comfortable 112 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: spacing off of DeRozan, but DeRozan's gonna have to be 113 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: comfortable spacing off of Fox for this to work in 114 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: the big picture. They had a one forty four offensive 115 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: rating with Derozen on the floor last night. That is 116 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: a awesome first outing for the Sacramento Kings. Again, they're 117 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: gonna have to guard a lot better to be a 118 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: serious team, but they're gonna score a shit ton of 119 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: points and that's a good foundation. Keigan Murray last king 120 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: I wanted to shout out from this particular game, just 121 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: showed some off the dribble pop. He had this like 122 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: kind of step back jump shot that he hit over 123 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: Gary Payton. But there was this other move that he 124 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: hit Kevin Looney with that where he kind of like 125 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: came down the floor in transition. Looney was a little 126 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: bit on his heels, got downhill into his step back, 127 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: but then out of the high hesitation in the step back, 128 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: as Looney stepped out of his stance to contest the shot, 129 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: he crossed back over to the right and went right 130 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: around into the basket for La. It was a pretty 131 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: high level counter move and so just something to keep 132 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: an eye on Keegan Murray's offensive development. We still don't 133 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: know what type of player he's going to be when 134 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: he's fully well rounded. And every time I see those 135 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: little flashes of that high level offensive creation, that's just 136 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: a glimpse set a potential higher ceiling for this team 137 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: in the long run. On the Warriors front, Stephan Draymond 138 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: both looked great. Steph looked like he didn't have Chris 139 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: done on him. I talked about that in the Clippers 140 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: game like Christine's one of the very best players in 141 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,559 Speaker 1: the league at guarding guards, right, and so I didn't 142 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: expect him to have as much trouble as soon as 143 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: he got into a different matchup, and he immediately started 144 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: getting separation from Kean Ellis, who was struggling with some 145 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: of the Warrior screening actions and just some of this 146 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: switching and just kings not being sharp and not staying attached. 147 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: He had thirteen points on eight shots. Looked like a 148 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: I think he was five for eight from the field, 149 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: nice little bounce back outing from Steph. Draymond, hit a 150 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: couple of threes, did a wonderful job orchestrating the offense 151 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: from the top. Hit Steph on a couple of back cuts. 152 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: He could easily have had ten assists in that first half. 153 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: Of guys were hitting shots, but just the very few 154 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: jump shots that the Warriors did miss, several of them 155 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: came off of Draymond Green feeds and were pretty good looks. 156 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: Kevon Looney and Brandon Paziemski looked good with the starters. 157 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: Looney I talked in the mail bag and yesterday's show 158 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: about how like these Warriors with two big looks with 159 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: Draymond at the four. Like Tray Jackson, Davis has a 160 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: speed advantage, Kvon Looney has a size and strength advantage, 161 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: and so it makes sense to kind of just swap 162 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: them in and out based on the matchup. Loony's always 163 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: had Sabonis's number in terms of being able to absorb 164 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: his contact and not let him get bullied underneath the basket. 165 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: He forced Sabonis into jump shots that I think is 166 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: the right kind of like matchup to go there, and 167 00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: that's what I kind of expect the Warriors to do 168 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: on an in a night out basis during the regular season. 169 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: If they're going to play center next to Draymond, I 170 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: think they'll probably change between those two depending on the matchup. 171 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: Brandon Pizemski eight assists did a wonderful job, especially in 172 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: the second half when the starters went out and he 173 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: has had to start running more action of beating lowman 174 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: help with skip passes. We're going to talk about this 175 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: in Tim's tape here at the tail end of the show. Basically, 176 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: in a ball screen a lot of teams are going 177 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: to tag from the weak side, especially teams that don't 178 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: trust their ball screen defense, and so the opening the 179 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: way you beat their pick and roll coverage is that 180 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: skip pass, and it's just a difficult pass, and it's 181 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: a pass a lot of players don't see because they 182 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: kind of only see what's happening in the immediate vicinity 183 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: around them. And POD's got three assists on that in 184 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: the third quarter, just by making the easy read that 185 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: was available in ball screens. And you know, again, as 186 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: we're watching the Warriors here at the start of the year, 187 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: the addition of the Anthony Mountain in the growth of 188 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: Brandon Pazemski is offensive player, These two things are going 189 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: to be key for this team. The Anthony Maltain hit 190 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 1: a pull up three against drop coverage at the top 191 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: of the key. He had sixteen points and three assists. 192 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: Between those two guys through two games, thirty six points 193 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: and sixteen assists with them playing obviously limited minutes in 194 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: a preseason context, So very very encouraging stuff from those 195 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: two guards. Again, those two guys are going to be 196 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: one of the big swing factors for the Warriors this year. 197 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: How good of a job they do creating shots when 198 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: Steph needs a break or when he's off the floor. Right, 199 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: Jonathan coming out a nice bounce back game, just quicker decisions, 200 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: some nice spot up shooting. As a team, the Warriors 201 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: struggled defensively, but Dearreon Fox has always given the Warriors 202 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: guards some issues, and like, obviously not having Andrew Wiggins 203 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: in the lineup is something that's going to play a 204 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: role there. He was beating Dan Anthony Melton off the 205 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: dribble pretty easily, though I was hoping Melton would have 206 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: held up a little better in that matchup. But some 207 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,719 Speaker 1: of this is, like Darren Fox is one of the 208 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: top twenty five players in the league. I had him 209 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: at twenty four, and he's just really really hard to guard. 210 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: So sometimes you just got to kind of acknowledge the 211 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 1: superstar problem, which is like Darreon Fox is just really 212 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: damn good at basketball, and sometimes you've got to kind 213 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: of account for that as a team rather than expecting 214 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: some individual to shut him down. Right, But so, really 215 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: nice forward for the Warriors offense off of that first 216 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: game against the Clippers. Moving on to Spurs Magic. The 217 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: Spurs as a team looks super sloppy right now. Their 218 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: transition defense was legitimately embarrassing last night. They got one point, 219 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: the Magic got one point. Six y three points per 220 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: transition possession in the first half. Now, before you like 221 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: think too much about this, like a dunk is two 222 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: points per possession, so like they were. They were literally 223 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: eighty percent of a dunk every single time down the 224 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: floor in transition. That is like so so so bad. 225 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: It was a layup line. No one was stopping the ball, 226 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: no one was protecting the rim, like I would imagine 227 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: Greg Popovich is very pissed off after watching the film 228 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: of that, and that's something they're going to be harping 229 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: on over the next couple of days. Victor women Yamo 230 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: is really sloppy. He was four to fifteen from the field, 231 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: was taking a lot of really difficult iso jump shots. 232 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: He had four turnovers. He tried to jam like a 233 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: no look behind the back pass in traffic that got 234 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: turned over. In transition, he tried to dribble tween a 235 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: guy's legs and it got turned over. So just kind 236 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 1: of a sloppy outing for Wemby. I didn't I wouldn't 237 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: really look too much into it. He was kind of 238 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: almost playing borderline like it was an unserious game, and 239 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: so I think some of that's preseasons, some of that's 240 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: just him getting into the flow. Some of it's just 241 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: him trying shit that he's probably been practicing over the summer, 242 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: So I wouldn't read too much into it. But obviously 243 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: Wenby was a little sloppy. The spacing was really tough. 244 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: Orlando was not concerned about Jeremy Sohan's ability to hit 245 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: jump shots, so they just put Goga Patadze on him 246 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: and just had him sit in the basket, and so 247 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: it just was like a tree standing under the rim 248 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: anytime the Spurs were trying to do anything. And I 249 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 1: think we'll probably see a lot of that this year, 250 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: especially since Wemby is the kind of guy that I 251 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: think they're gonna want. Most teams are going to want 252 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: to put more athletic, physical, shorter forwards that are going 253 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: to try to disrupt his base. I think we're going 254 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: to see a lot of Bitadze type players, like bigger 255 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: just center types just getting put on Sohan and just 256 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: sitting underneath the basket. That's going to be something that 257 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 1: the Spurs are going to have to confront Schematically, keeping 258 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: Sohan super active as a screener and as a cutter 259 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: and as an offensive rebound to try to offensive rebounder 260 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: to try to punish teams for helping off of him. 261 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: We did see some of the upside. We saw some 262 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: sharp five out possessions. I got one that I'll show 263 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: you guys, an example of just running a simple five 264 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: out action that gets wide open three because it just 265 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: gets a defender to make a mistake. Wenby ended up 266 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: catching a lob from CP three on like a cleared 267 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: side ball screen on the left side of the floor. 268 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: Generally speaking, as you guys know, I'm a big fan 269 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: of cleared side ball screens because I just think, especially 270 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: with really good players, it just gives so much space 271 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: for guys to work, especially guys that are still developing 272 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: as playmakers. I think it makes the most sense. There 273 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: was a possession that I put in the film Session 274 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: two that you guys will see where Wenby got a 275 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: short roll catch coming off of a ball screen where 276 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: he was coming down right in the middle of the 277 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: floor and so Han was kind of in the dunker spot, 278 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: so Goga was waiting right underneath the basket and Palo 279 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: was waiting right underneath the basket, and like a drop 280 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: coverage and instead of like trying to take an easy 281 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: read that was available, there's a kick out to the 282 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: right corner, or like maybe an opportunity for a little floater, 283 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: like a Yokic style like pick and roll floater in 284 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: the mid range or in the short range. He tried 285 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: to like just drive into all that traffic and ended 286 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: up getting blocked by Goga at the rim. And one 287 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: of the things I talked about in terms of like 288 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: juicing up Wewenby's offense, I want to see him hunt 289 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: and be more willing to take the easy looks that 290 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: he can get in ball screens and so like i'd 291 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: love to see him add like that little like ten 292 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: to eight to ten foot floater as he's just kind 293 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: of rolling into the to the kind of semi circle 294 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: area just to get easy, little touch shots before he 295 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: runs into all that traffic. It'll be easier on his body. 296 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: It's a shot that he can rely on in a 297 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: postseason setting. It's an easy way for him to get 298 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: like an extra three or four easy shots a game 299 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: that don't involve him getting into all that traffic underneath 300 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: the basket, which again is going to be a huge 301 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: problem with Sohan on the floor over the course of 302 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: this season. So again, sloppy for the Spurs, but a 303 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: lot of upside. I'm hoping they look sharper later on 304 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: in the preseason. We'll see Orlando looks super sharp on 305 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: defense again. They did a great job running off of 306 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: turnovers and long rebounds. I talked about their transition scoring earlier, 307 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: still not loving their lack of ball movement. This is 308 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: something I talked about after their first preseason game. There 309 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: was this really weird Palo possession where Plo gets swung 310 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: the ball at the top of the key and Goga's 311 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: on the left wing is unguarded. Franz is in the 312 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: left corner, He's guarded right, and Goga's calling for the ball, 313 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: and Franz is pointing to Goga for him to throw 314 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: the ball, and instead of throwing the easy pass to 315 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: Goga is standing right there, Paolo just points out him 316 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: and asks him to cut, and then he looks to 317 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: the other side as if he wants to run action 318 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: over there, and both Goga and Franz like show this 319 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: kind of negative body language, like what the hell are 320 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: we doing here? Because the thing is is like you 321 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: run action to get an advantage. That's the whole purpose 322 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: of running action. So you already have your advantage right there. 323 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: There's a two to on one on the weak side. Now, Okay, 324 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: Goga's not a shooter. I get it. Okay, swing the 325 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: ball to Goga. Goga's just going to flow into a 326 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: dribble handoff with Franz. He's going to screen Franz's defender. 327 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: It's a two on one there. Franz is going to 328 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: get downhill. It's like a guaranteed driving lane from there. 329 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: He's either gonna get all the way to the rim 330 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: or make a kickout pass two shooter on the week side. 331 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: And so a lot of this is like you gotta 332 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: make quicker decisions, take the easy stuff that the defense 333 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: is giving you. Again, this is a big thing that 334 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be talking a lot about in these film sessions. 335 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: And again I'm gonna show you guys some examples. There's 336 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: one in particular from the Spurs game where it's like, 337 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: you run basic action that flows out of the five 338 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: out concepts and if a guy's open, take the opening 339 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: that's there. There's a lot of possessions in a basketball game. 340 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: Not everything has to be tough. Just take the easy 341 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: stuff that is available for you on the offensive. End 342 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: of the floor. So again we're gonna be watching Orlando's 343 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: offensive growth over the course of the season. Lastly, the 344 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: Miami Heat, again I just watched their starters. I didn't 345 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: have as much time. Again, I'm trying to get to 346 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: as many of these as possible by it while also 347 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: doing our season previews, and it's just time consuming. But 348 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: I got to see the Miami Heat starters against Charlotte 349 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: in the first half. I watched that on Tuesday or 350 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: yesterday on Wednesday, and things stood out to me. First 351 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: of all, Bam aggressively shooting three. He took five of them. 352 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: He was two for five, six points. It's one point 353 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: two points per shot, So good start to the Bam 354 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: jump shooting experience. The key is him taking them so 355 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: frequently and with so much confidence that he eventually gets 356 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: guarded out there. This is like my Kyle Kuzma theory 357 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: the Lakers. When Kyle Kuzma was with the Lakers used 358 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: to take a ton of threes and he always shot 359 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: in like the low thirties, like thirty one, thirty two 360 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: percent until that last year before he left, and like 361 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: it just didn't matter because he was so aggressive and 362 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: his release looked good that like teams generally guarded Kuzma 363 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: as though he was a good shooter, and then also 364 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: like he had because he took so many of them 365 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: so confidently. There were games usually about once a week, 366 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: where he'd go four for seven from three and it 367 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: could be a huge impact on a game. And so 368 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: again that's the key with Bam is just take them, 369 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: take them. Take him if he takes five a game, Hell, 370 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: I would take six or seven a game. If he 371 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: takes six or seven a game and he makes two 372 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: or three of them, and he just sticks with it. 373 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: Over the long term, it will eventually reflect and won 374 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: him getting better at it, more comfortable. But two in 375 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: defense is starting to account for it and to guard 376 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: him there. Once Bam starts actually getting guarded from the 377 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: three point line, then the positive trickle down effects of 378 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: him shooting extend far beyond points per shot and extend 379 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: into now you're an overall half court offense improves because 380 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: you have better spacing and better opportunity for Jimmy to 381 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: attack or Yovich to attack with advantages out of the post. 382 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: And so that's why I kind of like the idea 383 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: of Bam taking more of those I almost think he 384 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: has to in order to build this out if you 385 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: want to have a Bam at a bio Kelllware look. 386 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: And by the way, I only watch the starters in 387 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: this particular game, so I haven't had a chance to 388 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: check out kill Kelllware. We will get to him at 389 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: some point soon here. But like let's say kell Aware 390 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: flashes as like a legitimate five man option. Well, if 391 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: you want to play Bam next to him and have 392 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: a big look, it's going to require Bam being an 393 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: aggressive and guarded three point shooter. And so that's something 394 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: that I think is worth building out. Jimmy Butler looks healthy, 395 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 1: he looks spry. You looked like Jimmy Butler. I thought 396 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: that was encourage coming off the knee injury. Everything that 397 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: Terry Rozier does and that fit with this team. It's 398 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: gonna come down to him hitting jump shots. He was 399 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: zero for six last night or two nights ago in 400 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: that game. Last year, he was one point zero three 401 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: points per jump shot, which is just not good enough. 402 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: He hit his open catch and shoot threes at a 403 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 1: high percentage, but shot poorly on pull ups and shot 404 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,199 Speaker 1: poorly on contested shots, and those specifically are the shots 405 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: that have the potential to raise the ceiling for this 406 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: Heat team. That's why they're so important. The Heat defense 407 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: picked up right where it left off last year. They 408 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: allowed to zero point eighty six points per half court 409 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: possession in the first half. Again, they were top five 410 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: defense last year. That was one of the most encouraging 411 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: parts of them as like a foundation to build on. 412 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: Just shot the first outing. Again, I haven't had a 413 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: chance to look at the bench groups, so we'll talk 414 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: about them later on in the preseason or early in 415 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: the regular season. But I just I had some time 416 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: on Tuesday and I watched that, and I just wanted 417 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 1: to get that into today's show while we had some time. 418 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: Side note on the Hornets front, I cannot get enough 419 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: of watching Trey Mann play basketball. Another seven for twelve 420 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: from the field, fourteen points, four sists, no turnovers, plus 421 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: ten and nineteen minutes. Has this like weird mix of 422 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: like early two thousands guard with like some like a 423 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: little bit at Jamal Crawford, a little bit of Alan 424 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 1: Iverson just like it. Just it's so much fun to watch. 425 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: And I wonder if he's got some sixth Man of 426 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: the Year juice this year, something to keep an eye on. 427 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: All right, I'm that note. Let's get to Tim's tapefore 428 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: get out of here. By the way, sorry, I'm moving 429 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: a little quickly today. I've got a little bit of 430 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: a deadline. I had to get this episode in a 431 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: little bit earlier, so I wasn't able to get into 432 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: as much detail. But we are going to do some 433 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: more preseason reaction tomorrow. All right, let's take a look 434 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: at our film session. So first clip, how do you 435 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 1: beat switching without having to ice simple things to understand 436 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: like screening angles. So again, first of all, you got 437 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 1: to identify what scheme you're playing against. Miami likes to 438 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: do a ton of switching. Boom switch, easy switch. You 439 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: know that switching is the scheme that they're in. So 440 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: there's no point in setting a hard lateral screen on 441 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: Terry Rozier because he's not trying to get separation from Rosier. 442 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: It's just going to be a switch, right, So you 443 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: actually need a screen with the intent of getting an 444 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: advantage out of it. Watch how Miles Bridges comes and 445 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: screens the bottom side of Terry Rozier because he knows 446 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: all he's really doing. When he sets this screen is 447 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: triggering the switch. That's all he's doing. Is not trying 448 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: to get separation for Lamello. He's triggering the switch. Watches 449 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: he turns and spins as he sets the screen to 450 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: create a seal boom. See, all he's actually trying to 451 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 1: do is get the switch while having inside position. Now 452 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 1: he is inside position. So as soon as LaMelo Ball 453 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: pulls Jimmy Butler out a little bit, now Lamello can 454 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: throw this over the top pass to Miles creates enough 455 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: of a passing angle for him to get in there 456 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: and now Myles Bridge as he ends up finishing, but 457 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 1: he could also make a kickout pass here as well. Again, 458 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: these are ways that you can look to get easy 459 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: shots out of switches. And here's the thing. You run 460 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: those kinds of actions, maybe they don't give up an 461 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: interior seal. Maybe you don't get the easy one, and 462 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: then you have to attack a matchup. But again, as 463 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 1: one of the big themes that I'm always talking about 464 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: on this show is like hunt the easy stuff first, 465 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: and then when the easy stuff doesn't work, counter it 466 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: by going to the tougher shot. Making the tougher Iso 467 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: ball the tougher post up looks things along those lines, 468 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: but take the easy shots that are available to you. 469 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: This next one is just for fun. Everyone watched Trey 470 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: Mann and just the ridiculous bag of tricks that he 471 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: has off of the dribble. Here skip pass into a 472 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: little dribble hand off ball screen. Watch this dribble combination 473 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: just disgusting. And then that just kind of harkened back 474 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: to about twenty years ago and what we used to 475 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: see the guards around the league do. All right, clip 476 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: number three, this is an example of once again a 477 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: basic like like a secondary break action that the Spurs 478 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: run and they get a wide open three out of it. 479 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: So this is uh uh, this isn't a what I 480 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: would just call like delay Chicago basically. So delay action 481 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: is when you bring the ball at the floor and 482 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: you pass to the big man at the top of 483 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: the key and you flow into action on the opposite 484 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: of the floor. This is a Chicago action, which is 485 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 1: a pin down into a dribble handoff, right, So we're 486 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: getting the pinned down into the dho right. So all 487 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: this is this is not any sort of super complicated 488 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: five out concept. This isn't some sort of dramatic, you know, 489 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: schematic genius. All it is is running a basic action 490 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: when you get up the floor to see if Orlando 491 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: will make a mistake, and if they don't, then you 492 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: might have to get more deliberate about your execution. In 493 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: this case, as they run the Chicago action, swing back 494 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: to Wemby. Wemby dribbles into it. Notice Googa is the 495 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: guy guarding Sohan. He's going under everything. Because he's going 496 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: under everything, so Han's able to kind of turn the 497 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: corner a little bit. This pulls the defender from the 498 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: right wing down to the elbow. That's an overhelp, right. 499 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: So that's the mistake, which gets a wide open three 500 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: for Julian Champagnie. Right. So again you get an open 501 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: look by running a basic action which triggers a mistake. 502 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 1: Now what should have happened here for Orlando, as we know, 503 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: is this is an overhelp. Sohan's going to be driving, 504 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: Goga's meeting him on the other side. You're not worried 505 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: about him taking a jump shot. It's an overhelp, right. 506 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 1: But the only way you're gonna get the overhelp is 507 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: if you run the action. You have to run the 508 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: action to get the defense to potentially make a mistake 509 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: again if it's not open, if he doesn't dig down 510 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: as hard, he throws the passa champaigne champagne Dho's to 511 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: Chris Paul. Chris Paul comes off in Wemby flows into 512 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: another ball screen and you work it until they make 513 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: a mistake. That's the whole concept of five out flow 514 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: side to side, until each time you go side to side, 515 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: the help defense loose up a little bit because guys 516 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: aren't getting back to their spots, they get a little 517 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,479 Speaker 1: bit sloppier in their shell drill. That is the purpose 518 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: behind running action to see if you can get the 519 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: defense to make a mistake. In the full episode, I 520 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: talked about the short roll catch for Wenby that he 521 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: kind of turned into a really tough shot. So this 522 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: is that one first of all, as you could see 523 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: from a spacing concept, because they have Goga on Sohan 524 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: and because Sohan's not a threat to shoot, there's just 525 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 1: constantly extra traffic here around the basket. Here we have 526 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 1: Palo in a drop coverage coming off. This is where 527 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: I want to see Wemby again, like look to take 528 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: some easier shots in this range instead, Lookrey catches, he's 529 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: got some space here. This could even be just a 530 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: little short, little pick and pop jump shot. But instead 531 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 1: we have literally four Orlando Magic players with a foot 532 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: in the paint, and Wenby just tries to cram his 533 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: way in there, and Goga gets a block. And so again, 534 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: this is kind of what I was talking about earlier, 535 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: just little details like, Okay, here's an easy read, Franz 536 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: is digging down. Just make the kickout past the Harrison Barnes. 537 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: Let's take an easy three when we get it. Or 538 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: if fron stays home and pollows deeper and a drop, 539 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: or Chris gives him the pass later, a little floater 540 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: in this range, or just catch and take a jump 541 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: shot right there. Just catch and take a little easy 542 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: jump shot right there. Take the easy shots and the 543 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: easy reads that are available in ball screens. This is 544 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,199 Speaker 1: just trying to do a little too much. Tries to 545 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: cram it into that space and gets blocked. Keep an 546 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: eye on that Sohan spacing concept here at the beginning 547 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: part of the season, though. All right, here's our cleared 548 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: side ball screen that gets Wenby the dunk. Okay, so again, 549 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: because of the cleared side, there's just a little bit 550 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: more space for Chris to operate. As a result, he's 551 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: able to get down here into this short corner area 552 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: that allows him to engage Mo Wogner a little bit more. 553 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: And then this is Wenby's superpower. Wemby kind of stunt, 554 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: or of Wagner kind of stunts. But notice Chris Paul 555 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: throws a pump fake. Then Mo Wagner tries to recover 556 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: back to Wemby, but he's just so damn tall he 557 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: just goes right over the top of him and dunks 558 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,959 Speaker 1: on him. Little bit of a dirty play there from 559 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: Mo Wagner too, trying to back out a guy who's 560 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 1: jumping on a dunk attempt. But we'll go ahead and 561 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: glaze over that for a second. Here's an example of 562 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: the pick and pop and how that can create easy opening. So, 563 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: as I talk about all the time, drop coverage has 564 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: an easy counter, which is the pick and pop. So 565 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: as Chris Paul is coming off, he's engaging Wagner in 566 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: a drop right, So that puts two on the ball. Now, 567 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,959 Speaker 1: if Wenby's rolling, it's easier for Wagner to kind of 568 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: account for both of them. But because he's because he's 569 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: not now we have this close out for Wagner all 570 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 1: the way from here right. As a result, they end 571 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 1: up rotating with Franz that actually is not Franz. I 572 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: can't tell who that is at this exact second, but 573 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: I think that's their rookie, that the rookie from Colorado, 574 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: if I remember correctly. They both call it close out. 575 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: They get two on the ball, right. So now we 576 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: have two on the ball with Wemby, which creates a 577 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: two on one here between the shooter and the corner, 578 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 1: and Malki brand him right underneath the basket. Cole Anthony 579 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: has to make up his mind. He ends up being 580 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: caught in no man's land and Wemby beats with a 581 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: no look pass. So again that two on one, that 582 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: two on one, this two on one here is created 583 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: by the weak side rotation right here, this guy closing 584 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: out to Wemby. That happens because on the pick and pop, 585 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: Wagner is not in position to rotate. This is such 586 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: an easy action to create initial advantage that then you 587 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: can play off and you can imagine a scenario like 588 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,239 Speaker 1: if Wemby, if this guy closes out hard and this 589 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: guy stays home, there's a kickout pass over here to 590 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: the corner. Let's say they rotate like Cole Anthony rotates 591 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: up and the Magic rotate over from the weak side. 592 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: Now you've got an opportunity to flow into action off 593 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: the rights, off this left side of the floor. Maybe 594 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: Chris Paul pins down for Safan Castle. There's just an 595 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: initial advantage that you can turn into a read by 596 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: running that pick and pop action. Here's that play I 597 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: talked about earlier where the Magic had kind of funky, 598 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: stagnant offense and Goga and Franz looked a little frustrated 599 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: with Paolo. So again, here we go. Wemby throws a 600 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,439 Speaker 1: random double team off of Jalen Suggs. This creates an 601 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: advantage situation. Now Palo's at the top of the key. 602 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: Here's our situation. We've got four spurs all on the 603 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: right side of the floor. We got Goga by himself 604 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: in Franz in the corner. Palo's literally looking at him. Goga, 605 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: excuse me, is literally calling for the basketball. Franz is 606 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: gesturing in that direction. Again. All you have to do 607 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: there is swing to Goga. Goga flows into a djo. 608 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: Franz is going to get downhill into this area and 609 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: probably pull all of these spurs into health and one 610 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: of these dudes is gonna be wide open, but instead 611 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: Polo looks him off and goes the other way to 612 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: where Wenby is gonna be able to get a great 613 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: contest on Suggs. Anyway, watch Goga, watch his body language. 614 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: He's like, what are we doing here? And then watch 615 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: Franz what are we doing here? And again like they're 616 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: because they're frustrated, because it's like you, what are we 617 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: running action for? We're running action so we can get 618 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: an advantage. We got one on the left side of 619 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: the floor. Move the day of basketball, make a quick decision, 620 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: flow into the next action if you have to, yet 621 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: it probably works its way back. Like the thing with 622 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: Pallo here is like you can imagine a scenario you 623 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: throw that pass right here. You might throw that pass 624 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: and Stefan Castle might close out a Goga and then 625 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: you might end up just getting right back to a 626 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: wide open catch and shoot three for Pallo at the 627 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: top of the key. Just like take the easy reads 628 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: that are available to you and just play off of it. 629 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: All right, let's take a look at some of these 630 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: DeRozan plays. With the kinks. Here's a basic Chicago action 631 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: out of the left corner. So here we go again, 632 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: pin down into a dh o Draymond Green is on 633 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: the ball, goes under easy little read for Derozen at 634 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: the elbow to knock down the jump shot. Next one, 635 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: same sort of thing, dribble hand off, dribble handoff into 636 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: a ball screen. Looney switches, but he switches soft, so 637 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: Derozen is comfortable just rising up into his spot knocking 638 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: it down. It's another one pin down into a dribble 639 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: hand off. Switch again. Looney's more aggressive on the switch 640 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: this time, which actually forces Derozen to pick up again. 641 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: And I talk about how you run action to get 642 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: guys to make mistakes. Right, first mistake, Jerymond Green goes 643 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: underneath both picks against de Rozan, who's just an a 644 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: lead shooter from that range. Right, second pick, Kevon Looney 645 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: too soft on his switch. Right third pick. Looney's harder 646 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: on the switch, takes away that first read, but DeRozan 647 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: just gets to his spot off of a little wonderble 648 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: pull up again, tougher shot, but now he's in rhythm. 649 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: And again what I was saying earlier is like These 650 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: are all shots that are kind of like the kinds 651 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: of shots that the Kings can generate within their offense. 652 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: In DeRozan's great at them. So it's kind of just 653 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: like a natural fit for him to be running these 654 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: types of actions. And I think this is the weak 655 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: side spacing. Okay, So again, as I talked about, it's 656 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: important for as the erin's running action for Derozen to 657 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: be able to make plays on the on the opposite side. 658 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: So because you're gonna see this a lot when dearon 659 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: Fox is running action, you're gonna see DeRozan's defender drop 660 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: down into the paint and help because they're not as 661 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: worried about him as a catch and shoot. Guy Kaminga 662 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: closes off the drive kick out pass, it gets deflected, 663 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: so it kind of disrupts the rhythm. But this is 664 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: the shot that Derozane is going to have to make 665 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: to make teams pay for helping off that week side 666 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: his first one last night, here's that Keegan Murray crossover 667 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: that I was telling you about that was so disgusting. 668 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: Watch him. You get the head of steam. He's got 669 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: loony hard dribble at his left step back that high 670 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: hesitation right here. When he does that step back dribble 671 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: right here, he could rise into a jump shot, which 672 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: is what gets Looney to step out of it. And 673 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: then Keegan just crosses him over and gets a wide 674 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: up and lamp. Really advanced counter move there from Keegan Murray. 675 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: All right here the couple of the three examples of 676 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: Brandon Pizemski beating low Man. Help, so we're gonna get 677 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: an action here a little ball screen with Tray Jackson 678 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: Davis comes off the ball screen. Look at here, here's 679 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: our lowman Jalen McDaniels. Watch this rifle pass from Pods 680 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,959 Speaker 1: right into the shooting pocket. Boom knocks it down and 681 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: again that's the read. Like as you're looking at this 682 00:31:55,320 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: play develop nothing else is open. They're set up at 683 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: the on ball. Defender is behind Pajemski, which is going 684 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: to make it harder for him to make a shot. 685 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: Alex Len is in no roller behind coverage, so it's 686 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: not like the lob is going to be open. Jaylen 687 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: McDaniels is packing the paint. There's an easy read right 688 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: there for you want to skip pass to Moody. Same 689 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: sort of thing here. Get a ball screen with Trace 690 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: crossover to set his man up for the screen. Little 691 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: details too. Look notice how Pods turns his body looking 692 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: like he's driving to the right. Everything's pointing to the right, 693 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: shoulders to the right, balls in his right hand, everything 694 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: is facing towards the right. That gets the on ball 695 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: defender to jump high side, which then Padjemski crosses over, 696 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: which creates the passing angle, or excuse me, the screening 697 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: angle for Trace to get a good screen. Pods gets downhill. 698 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: This is our low man, because Alex lenn is fully 699 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: committed to the ball. Now his job is to come 700 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: over and help he does. There's our kickout pass to Kaminga. 701 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: A nice patient read from Brandon Page. I liked how 702 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: confident Kaminga looked taking catch and shoot threes last night too. 703 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: I thought that was encouraging all right. Last one, POD's 704 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: flown into action ball screen chasing over the top Rollers 705 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: kind of getting behind len low Man help low Man 706 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: is all the way into the paint. Pods throws the 707 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: skip pass, Moody knocks it down. That's like, that's the 708 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: kind of playmaking that you need to be able to 709 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: run that action. Look at Pods talk your shit, man, 710 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: look at him talking that shit. Go back Pods knows 711 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: it because he's picking him apart. He's been doing it 712 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: the entire third quarter. This is all in the first 713 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: five minutes of the quarter. Look at him, he's like 714 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: talking his shit. Good for him, that's good. That's impressive playmaking. 715 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: That's the kind of shit that they're gonna need from 716 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: him in order to get to where they want to 717 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: go this year. All right, guys, nice quick, tight, little 718 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: thirty three minutes today. That's that's probably the shortest we've 719 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: gone into a long time. But again, I was under 720 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: a little bit of a time crunch today. As always, 721 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: I sincerely appreciate you guys for supporting the show. We'll 722 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,959 Speaker 1: hit Thunder tomorrow as well as Lakers Bucks. And then 723 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: I've got I think, like almost an hour of GM 724 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: survey stuff. We're hitting like is we're hitting like the 725 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: all defense or the best defensive players in the league 726 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: stuff with Draymond and Anthony Davis getting kind of left 727 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 1: out where who we think is gonna win MVP this year? 728 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,959 Speaker 1: The like who's the best player in the league debate 729 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: between Yokich and Luka. Doncic talked a little bit about 730 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: why I think Jason Tatum is the best small forward 731 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: in the NBA. And then we talked a little bit 732 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: about the CBA and some of the limitations on team building, 733 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 1: so that'll be coming out on Friday as well. As 734 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,959 Speaker 1: always a sincerely appreciate you guys for supporting the show. 735 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: I'll see you tomorrow the volume What's Up guys.

As always, I appreciate you guys supporting us, 740 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: but if you could take a minute to do that, 741 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: I'd really appreciate it.
