It's a fascinating thing with this team. If you look at their record, I think they're 10-8, 10-9, and half or close to half have come against teams that switch. Like you mentioned, Boston on opening night, they had no issue putting Drew on Cat. Another one that comes to mind is Houston. They had no issue putting Dylan Brooks on Cat and switching everything. And then tonight, same example.

When they play teams that not only just switch but play with some heart like those teams do, you're hard-pressed to find a team that plays harder than Houston, hard-pressed to find a team that plays harder than Boston, and even Dallas. Dallas has been crushing defensively too this year. They just look like they don't know what to do with the ball.

A lot of ISO, they don't really get it moving side to side. They don't play out in transition because the defense isn't that good right now. They shoot well at the rim, but they don't take a lot of shots at the rim. It's not a great ISO team.

Brunson obviously has the ability to score at a high level with isolations, but he's not a guy that's breaking guys down off the dribble and getting all the way to the rim, right? He's usually getting floaters or awkward shots. Yeah. This is the second time, and this is the third time since November 10th that they've shot 32 or less threes in a game. One against Indiana, one against Philly.

I believe the Indiana, I can't remember if both of them were wins. I know the Philly one was a win. I can't remember Indiana. But I think they got to, what, 30 tonight, 29 tonight from three-point attempts. They just really struggled to get up threes against switching teams and I think a lot of it is they don't know, do I take my man? They don't really move as much.

The cutting's not as crisp as it is against non-switching teams. They just look really disoriented.

There's a couple things, and our colleague Fred Katz wrote a good piece last week on the weird season Mikael Bridges is having, because I agree the best way to describe it is weird. If you look at his two-point numbers, he's shooting the mid-range as good as anybody in the league, right? But above the break threes, he's in the teens.

And I wonder if the hitch in his shot has something to do with the further distance threes. As he's shotting better, he shoots much better in the corners. And obviously, as we know, that's much shorter distance than –
