Yeah, that's a great question. I think that strikes at the heart of what playoff coaching really is. Certainly, you've got to be ready to make adjustments, willing to make adjustments. But sometimes, you know, you've got to just do it better. And so that's a feel thing. It's kind of like you'll know it when you see it sometimes. And

you there's a lot you know in the playoffs there's a lot of outside noise everybody's talking about you know game one and what's going to happen with game two and there's so many extremes and you know everyone thinks what's just happened is always what's going to happen again uh it's just not the case you know i think one thing that kind of stands out when you see a lot of the playoffs in the modern era is you'll see a lot of blowouts in the playoffs you never used to see blowouts in the playoffs 25 30 years ago unless it was a

won eight series, you know. But, you know, now you'll see a team that's favored. They might get dumped by 20-plus points one night. You know, so I do think that, you know, there's, of course, a reaction, overreaction cycle that goes on here. And the last thing I'd say about adjustments is that you've got to be able to make them because – You've got to be able to execute them.

You have to have it in your arsenal. The obvious thing might be to, let's say, switch everything or not switch something or go zone. You have to still be able to do it. Your personnel has to lend itself to be able to do these things. So it's not like you can just go out and do things that your personnel is not capable of delivering.
