Mike Brown.

Yeah.

And Mike Brown, unlike what Tom Thibodeau was doing a year ago where he just ran everybody into the ground, Mike Brown played the bench game as much as he could this year.

And now that we've gotten to the nitty-gritty right before the postseason, he's boiled it down to his big four.

We're starting to get into that rotation.

I call the big four whatever.

Deuce McBride, Mitchell Robinson, Shamit, and who am I forgetting off the bench?

Okay.

The big four they have off the bench.

They've tightened the bench now.

Yes, they have tightened the bench.

We're not going to get Kolek.

We're not going to get Alvarado.

But they spent all year trying to figure out these big pieces.

Now he's really boiled down the tightness of the bench.

And as you even saw last night, he's not afraid with the defensive woes in a tight game to make sure Cad is sitting there on the bench in the last minute.

I think Mike Brown now has flipped the switch to playoff coaching.

And I think it's different.

Maybe Brunson's new nickname is Mouse.

That could be the new nickname.
