When they can go side to side twice in the same possession, they are better at executing off of that than any other team in the NBA until three days ago. And I think what's happening with the switching is it's not... We focus so much on... the individual matchups that are created from switching.

Okay, Jalen Brunson has switched on to Jason Tatum, or Kat has switched on to Jason Tatum, and now it's Tatum versus Brunson, and that's a mismatch. But there's the way you can fan out, and there's the way that it affects the rest of the defense. And what's happening here is the Knicks are able to stay at home on Boston's perimeter shooters a lot more. And it's closing up passing lanes.

It's closing up the ability to take threes, even though Boston took 60 in the first game. But a lot of those were... I mean, Jason Tatum took 14 threes off the dribble in game one. Like a lot of those are not the Boston-esque threes that we're used to seeing, even though they're unquestionably missing good looks throughout this entire series.

And I think the way that the Celtics are responding to the Knicks defensive strategy is something that... I've wondered if the Knicks have banked on this because the Celtics, if they have a flaw, it is that they know their identity and they know their strategy is to go out and get threes.

And I think at times it can slip their mind that as important as shooting threes is, creating threes is more important. I think the Celtics have been really good at shooting threes in this series. They've taken 100 over the first two games on the dot.
