The Ryen Russillo Show
Rockets Problems & Spurs Minus Wemby (Scoot!), Plus Knicks, Pistons & Kerr’s Future w/ James Edwards & Anthony Slater

I mean, I think at the very least you have to see how it goes.

The Ryen Russillo Show
Rockets Problems & Spurs Minus Wemby (Scoot!), Plus Knicks, Pistons & Kerr’s Future w/ James Edwards & Anthony Slater

that's a great question.

The Ryen Russillo Show
Rockets Problems & Spurs Minus Wemby (Scoot!), Plus Knicks, Pistons & Kerr’s Future w/ James Edwards & Anthony Slater

I think the easiest thing, easiest fix.

The Ryen Russillo Show
Rockets Problems & Spurs Minus Wemby (Scoot!), Plus Knicks, Pistons & Kerr’s Future w/ James Edwards & Anthony Slater

I don't know if it's a fix.

The Ryen Russillo Show
Rockets Problems & Spurs Minus Wemby (Scoot!), Plus Knicks, Pistons & Kerr’s Future w/ James Edwards & Anthony Slater

So the one thing I want to see that I think is easiest to do is,

The Ryen Russillo Show
Rockets Problems & Spurs Minus Wemby (Scoot!), Plus Knicks, Pistons & Kerr’s Future w/ James Edwards & Anthony Slater

What the Knicks did in game two was because they went back, they had spent a lot of time of Okongwu on Cat, but late in that game they put Okongwu on Hart, Kaminga on Cat.

So they spent a lot of time putting Josh Hart in the action where he's setting the screen so that Jalen can get Okongwu.

And I thought, again, Okongwu did a great job of retreating as Nikhil got around or whoever was guarding him got around.

The Ryen Russillo Show
Rockets Problems & Spurs Minus Wemby (Scoot!), Plus Knicks, Pistons & Kerr’s Future w/ James Edwards & Anthony Slater

Just because Kat's being guarded by a wing, which that's the book, right?

The Ryen Russillo Show
Rockets Problems & Spurs Minus Wemby (Scoot!), Plus Knicks, Pistons & Kerr’s Future w/ James Edwards & Anthony Slater

Everybody knows that's what you do.

The Ryen Russillo Show
Rockets Problems & Spurs Minus Wemby (Scoot!), Plus Knicks, Pistons & Kerr’s Future w/ James Edwards & Anthony Slater

I don't think that means you just you still can't put him in the action.

The Ryen Russillo Show
Rockets Problems & Spurs Minus Wemby (Scoot!), Plus Knicks, Pistons & Kerr’s Future w/ James Edwards & Anthony Slater

Like either Jalen's going to go one on one with Kaminga, which let's see what happens, or they're going to switch and Kat's going to be on to kill Alexander Walker.

Rockets Problems & Spurs Minus Wemby (Scoot!), Plus Knicks, Pistons & Kerr’s Future w/ James Edwards & Anthony Slater

Let's see what happens.

The Ryen Russillo Show
Rockets Problems & Spurs Minus Wemby (Scoot!), Plus Knicks, Pistons & Kerr’s Future w/ James Edwards & Anthony Slater

I think Nikhil is a great defender.

The Ryen Russillo Show
Rockets Problems & Spurs Minus Wemby (Scoot!), Plus Knicks, Pistons & Kerr’s Future w/ James Edwards & Anthony Slater

He gets so low in his stance, too, that if Kat's trying to dribble from the three-point line, that could be an issue.

The Ryen Russillo Show
Rockets Problems & Spurs Minus Wemby (Scoot!), Plus Knicks, Pistons & Kerr’s Future w/ James Edwards & Anthony Slater

But let's find out.

The Ryen Russillo Show
Rockets Problems & Spurs Minus Wemby (Scoot!), Plus Knicks, Pistons & Kerr’s Future w/ James Edwards & Anthony Slater

I don't think just because a Kong Wu is guarding Hart, that means you can't put Kat in the action.

The Ryen Russillo Show
Rockets Problems & Spurs Minus Wemby (Scoot!), Plus Knicks, Pistons & Kerr’s Future w/ James Edwards & Anthony Slater

And if you're not going to put Kat in the action, I think you should at least use him as a floor spacer.

The Ryen Russillo Show
Rockets Problems & Spurs Minus Wemby (Scoot!), Plus Knicks, Pistons & Kerr’s Future w/ James Edwards & Anthony Slater

We talk about that play where Kaminga had the block.

It was because Kat's just standing in the dunker spot right outside the paint.
