How did we get here? | Morning Shoot Around

Yeah. They have players that also have gotten better within their system. I mean, Pascal Siakam is a very unique player in that he came in to be whatever it is that they needed him to be, which is exactly what he said last night as well. That's very rare to find, someone that's fine playing second fiddle, fine doing whatever it is that a team needs.

But everyone else, Miles Turner, Tyrese Halliburton, everyone has gotten better within their system. And that, to me, I think is a very unique, quality of small markets because you can't afford to be this big time ego in a small market. You've got to play up to the brand of Indiana or whatever, or OKC. You're seeing this in all of these small markets. I don't know what's going on with Utah.

Utah got to pick it up, but everyone else, it feels as if these brands of basketball, the players are feeding into the brand, into what's on the front of the jersey as opposed to let me get my individual game off. And it also happens because there hasn't been a ton of players on that roster that have skipped around to multiple teams.

Yeah, the conditioning of this team is like you feel as if they've got the second wind, but it's really because they have depth. They just have rotational players. But I thought the most endearing thing that is very indicative of how this team looks at Tyrese Halliburton when it comes to defense was, I can't remember, it was in the fourth quarter.

And it's like, that is so endearing of like, we don't, we don't look to you to be our defensive stopper, but like, good job. Like you're trying, there you go. That, that sort of energy around him of just like, keep going, et cetera.
