I'm on his side.

Red Rover, don't come over.

It seems like they're going to that.

And even to stick with this game, there was a part of this game that there was adjustments by Adelman.

They didn't go deep into the bench, but they did adjust and make changes that you have not seen before.

There was a stretch where Cam John was the big man.

We have not seen that.

They typically go to Aaron Gorton at that time as the backup big.

They have Big Val, who was just like...

like a help like a scratch the coach you know decided to go there and that was a part that they went on a run that was a decision that he made that he said hey we're not going to go deep in the bench but we are going to try guys out of their spot and they went on a run with that so like that's a way of staying fresh that's a way of the raptors not being able to know what's going to be thrown at you but it does seem like they're going to go with their guys right now and there are they're going to need at least one more guy for that stretch so that's why it's going to be big

The clock wasn't even running out on that.

Not at all.

He just really decided, you know what?

Let's go for it.

And it wasn't even close.

It was like, what?

I just the rest are gonna call it a certain way if you're just trying to slowly back down and to them like actual big men So just instead attack hard and they're gonna have to put hands on you or you'll just barrel barrel right through them Yeah in this game It did feel like he started to figure something out on trying to get the ball like it does seem like he's setting more screens to try to free himself up instead of getting put on the block where they're just

you know, knocking them over and beating them up.

He's also using it as an escape, like you talked about.

He sets a screen and it gets somebody else free.
