five six ten dudes that they throw out on the floor well there's not guys out there that you know it's just gonna overpower and then conversely when those six ten and six five and six four guys can all move really well well then damien willard's ark mainly uses quickness in the same ways that he normally can uh and you just that this magic team i think first of all deserves all of the credit in the world like

Jamal Mosley, I named him as my coach of the year when we did the roundtable at the Athletic earlier this week. He's got them all the way bought into that culture that it does not matter who the 10 guys are that are playing tonight. You're going to go out there. You're going to work hard on defense.
