Kevin Durant reaches 30k career points | Sixers lose 4th straight

And then just being able to kind of rack up those points in the paint and those and ones, I think, was huge. And they did so well on the glass, too. So. I think that they found a little bit of a blueprint there with just being physical against the Pacers. And I thought it warmed down at the end and allowed the Knicks to kind of extend themselves in the last four or five minutes of that game.

That's the question that they're trying to figure out. That's the question we're trying to figure out. And I think there's two things with that. As you mentioned, Towns playing the five, they obviously they know the importance of that offensively. Right. Yeah. That opens up so much for their offensive spacing.

It's it's what's made them who they are, which is one of the most high powered, the second most the second best offense in basketball. Now, defensively, where the issues come, and I noted this when they made the trade for him, it's not Cat and Jalen's fault that they have limitations defensively. They compete, they both try, but they have limitations.

One guy is smaller than Jalen, not the quickest feet. Cat is bigger, has had injuries, not the most nimble. And you see teams, specifically Boston, just spam the pick and roll over and over and over until they get Brunson on Tatum or Brunson on Brown, and then they get past him, and then it's one move and they're past Cat.

And it's pretty much just trying to put those two in the action, and it takes away. And then if OG comes to help, if Mikkel comes to help, if Josh comes to help, they got shooters everywhere. And I think the stat you mentioned was a tremendous stat. I think it was DJ Ace, who's a big Knicks fan, I think a lot of that is the middle teams and the top teams.

No, I'm with you. He's been one of the best pick-and-roll players this year. Trey, again, in the middle of the pack. I don't know where they are offensively. They're a middle-of-the-pack team. Trey has been one of the best pick-and-roll players, even when the Bulls had Levine. And the Bulls beat the Knicks earlier this year.

There are so many good playmakers at the point of attack in basketball, and the Knicks see them often. And I think that when you have those ones that are above good – They're able to kind of take those disadvantages to the tool shed, and they're able to generate offense for the team too. So I think that's the big thing.
