Not benches.

That's the wrong word.

Does not start and maybe start.

No, he'll start him, but I think there's a very short lease.

This is interesting because I think for these coaches, it is a chess match now.

I thought Mike Brown got the better of Mitch Johnson in game one.

I think he surprised him with some of these matchups.

I mean, going into the series, I think the conventional wisdom, and I talked to a lot of

former coaches, other coaches about this.

The conventional wisdom was you play Wemba Nyama with OG Ananobi.

He is the 6'8", sturdy guy.

Smaller players have had some level of success against Wemba Nyama.

Cat doesn't have this great history as a defensive player.

I think they were caught off guard by Cat getting the start on Wemby and then Mitchell Robinson getting some of the reps.

They went big.

on Victor Webman-Yamba.

And now it's going to be on Mitch Johnson to make that adjustment.

It's play calling, it's design, it's everything.

They also have to be more physical with Jalen Brunson.

This was a big takeaway for me from the game.
