Part 1: An NBA Popularity Check and Tyson’s Big Comeback With Wosny Lambre and Van Lathan

They can't afford to because their defense is so bad. If you're getting cooked... You kind of have to look at your best player and say, yo, we need points right now. If they were stopping people, then they would be a lot more patient about who gets to do what on offense.

But when you're constantly having to put out fires because you just gave up 10 points in a row, at a certain point it is, you got to give it to Brunson. What I'm encouraged by is that The Towns and Brunson pick and roll is clearly difficult to deal with. It's a nightmare. They're putting defenses in a bind because Brunson, unlike a lot of these star point guards, can be the center on a switch.

Like Halliburton's been having trouble with it this year. Brunson, as soon as you put a big man on him, he's killing that guy. And if you, God forbid, you drop on freaking Carl Towns, like that's a nightmare. And so I like that that's already started to figure itself out.

It's not just that, though. It's like when guys start conceiving themselves as 20-point-per-game scorers, And all of a sudden it's like, no, you're back to being that role guy that you were in Phoenix. And it's like, no, I was a ball in Brooklyn. I was like a wave guy. Can I show you a YouTube clip of my game winners? No, he got to get back to what he was doing in Phoenix for sure.

And he's learning how to play a new way. Like, this is a completely reconstructed offense, like, that he hasn't been completely comfortable yet. I don't think it's the biggest deal. I just think it's scary that, like, missing Mitchell Robinson and Precious Achua is this damaging to you.
