The Athletic NBA Daily
Knicks fire Tom Thibodeau

He makes all the difference in the world. You know what you're going to get out of Shea. And you look at the numbers during the season, even. And like when Shea was off the court, their offense fell off a cliff. J Dub runs those bench units. He did a really good job. I thought in the conference finals, being able to get to his shots, making the right reads on pick and rolls.

Knicks fire Tom Thibodeau

He hit his threes when he's hitting his jumpers. And when he's facilitating that offense with Shea off the court, They are just relentless for 48 consecutive minutes. It is truly unbelievable. So I think it starts with J-Dub. I don't know. Zena, what would you add to that?

Yeah, it is. I'll add one thing that I'm really curious to see here is Tyrese Halliburton is probably at, I don't want to say at his worst because my goodness, he's good.

But a way that you can Mess with his process and his speed a little bit. I think the best way to guard a Tyrus Halliburton pick and roll and the Tyrus Halliburton Miles Turner pick and roll is awesome. The Tyrus Halliburton Pascal Siakam pick and roll is awesome. And by the way, Indiana might be the best team in the league at slipping screens.

OKC might be the best team in the league at communicating on screens and guarding those screens and rotating after them. You know, there are people on the weak side and they're low men and all that. That's something to watch. But we haven't seen a team really switch just every single

haliburton pick and roll like the knicks were not switching haliburton pick and rolls and i think the best way if you can do it if you have the personnel for it is switch the haliburton pick and roll because what happens is then you get the pacers out of what they want to do pacers want to put you into rotation and the thunder a lot of the time have no problem defending in rotation sometimes they it's almost like they put themselves into rotation just for the sake of it because they're like you know what we're going to do it we're going to execute on it

But if the Thunder switch those pick and rolls and they have the capability of being able to do that, especially if it's like J-Dub guarding Siakam, and you have Dort guarding Halliburton, you just switch that. That's no problem. Those guys are switching partners. And now all of a sudden you're making Halliburton have to go one-on-one. That's not what they want. They want Halliburton on the move.
