But if he's a knockdown shooter, then it's totally different. His post-ups, they might want to use those more often even. He's just an incredible post-up player. He just bashes switches in the post. He's as efficient as it gets. And because he rarely played in the playoffs last year, that's your answer. If they're going to get better, just having Chris Stapps healthy throughout the playoffs.

would be a great way to start because when he's out there and they're flowing and they're making the right decisions, reading the game the right way, there's not much you can do to stop them because if you switch that, Chris Stapps will kill you on the switch. If you don't switch it, then Tatum or Brown is going to have a pretty easy time.

So I think that's the obvious answer, just a healthy Chris Stapps.

I think a lot of it's variance, like like that stretch against the Rockets. They had Luke Cornett out there. When will Luke Cornett be out there in a tight game that they really, really need to win? Yeah. He was guarding Alfred Shang-Goon. Like, somehow they let Shang-Goon just have a straight line to the rim. You're not going to see that very often. The next play...

They just have a miscommunication error, and Cornette and Jalen Brown try to pre-switch, but they don't do it in time, and so Jalen is closing out, and Ahmed Thompson is able to get into the paint very easily. He might have gotten into the paint anyway, but would have had a much tougher time if Jalen was squared up against him. That was a weird one.

They had the Pelicans game where Derek White just dropped the ball out of bounds on an inbounds pass. I don't think that'll happen very often. Then he had a five second violation that same game with like six seconds left. The Clippers game, they're up six with a minute. And then all of a sudden they're just throwing it all over the place.

Joe Mizzou is literally out at half court trying to call timeout. Refs won't give it to him. You can see him like for seconds just calling timeout. They don't give it to him. Jalen gets called for an offensive foul later in that play. That doesn't happen very often. So it's just like there's been a lot of weird, weird stuff.
