Ball handling and playmaking is not what we love O.G.

and O.B.

for.

And then Jordan Clarkson, they don't really use him as a ball handler.

So you're playing this Atlanta team who's very intense defensively, especially on the ball.

And you're out there with no ball handlers.

And it's not a surprise that it was kind of a recipe for disaster.

Like, he had to immediately bring Jose in as a nine-point lead went away in four minutes.

And he hadn't played Jose... Basically, Jose had been out of the rotation at the end of the regular season and in game one.

So, to me...

People were there were some people I was having conversations with.

They were like it was only they were only minus seven in those minutes.

Well, think about it like this.

They played non-cap Brunson minutes for 11 minutes, basically a whole quarter.

So so if you make that in 48 minutes, that's minus 28.

Right.

And what do you hear coaches say all the time to players?

You have to value every possession.

You have to.

This is why you don't turn the ball over.
