The Warriors are generally really good with that, but all that stuff is going to be so much more important because all those crazy cuts that we see in Warriors games all the time, so many of them happen. Because the defense is having a nervous breakdown about the fact that Stephen Curry just exists and is there.

And now that Curry's not there, they are going to have to find ways to be able to take advantage of those holes without those sorts of nervous breakdowns. Because even when Buddy Heald is draining all of his threes, nobody creates that sort of effect. Nobody creates that kind of pull other than Curry. And the Warriors are going to have an accident on that.

I was going to say it's 1999. We got to get Larry Johnson in the building and we'll be good to go. Reggie Miller calling the game.

Zach, Neesmith is so physical now. And I remember when he came out in the preseason last year and he was just guarding dudes in the preseason. I was like, damn. Neesmith got really good. Nemhard's very similar. Nemhard defensively is one of the most underrated players in the league.

Just put a little pin in that. And Neesmith did a great job on him. Neesmith did a great job on Brunson. Like, I thought Neesmith was one of the best Brunson defenders that I've seen since Brunson kind of hit elite status. I mean, to your point on Nembhard's jump shooting... I don't know, maybe playoff Nembhard's a thing.

Like last year, game seven on the road at MSG, he literally shot 100% in a game seven. In a game that the Pacers literally broke the record for field goal percentage in any playoff game. Not just the game seven. And they did it on a road game seven in a crazy MSG environment. The thing with the Pacers that I think a lot of people...

And obviously the fact that the Cavs are missing guys is the most important thing here. I also find Darius Garland's importance to just be unbelievably underrated in terms of their success. He's an all-star point guard. But it's even more than that. Yes, he's an all-star, but people talk about the Cavs as if this is Donovan Mitchell's team. And I get it from a status standpoint. It is.
