And he defends pretty well. I... And he wants every bit of this. He doesn't care that they're overmatched. He feels like he's the best player on the floor. He's everything you want in a young, rising franchise star. And yeah, his efficiency is imperfect. Some of that is on him. Some of that is on... the surrounding talent just isn't good enough. Like we're counting on Anthony black a lot.

And Gary Harris is like closing games for us. It's just not there. I love what I've seen from Paolo in this series.

I'll go one further. Franz Wagner maybe kind of has the yips right now on his jump shot and is like the greatest performer with the yips in the history of sports. The dude is his jump shot is all messed up and he puts up 24, seven and six and still take seven threes.

Like there's something to be admired about a guy who's going through it in one phase of his game is in his head is a little bit and is still battling out there for 40 minutes and putting up Semi-efficient numbers for a team that needs anything they can get offensively.

Real quickly, I want to praise the Orlando Magic for something that happened in Game 3. Which nobody ever does. They get the ball back with the lead, 95-93. I believe there were 28.1 seconds on the clock. The differential between the shot clock and the game clock was about four seconds. It was either 3.8 or 4.1.

Then there's like a bizarre eight-second call, which they end up overturning, and the possession continues as if nothing ever happened. Inverted whistle, whoops, whoops. By the way, what's with the whistling in the crowd in Minnesota? Does someone have a whistle? It's fooling everybody. They must. And so the Magic did what nobody does.

The Celtics did not foul down two with a three to four second differential on the shot clock. I have always been of the school of thought, you have to foul because you're just not going to leave yourself with enough time. coaches are divided on this.

And one of the reasons that coaches are divided and we'll play for the stop as Joe Missoula did is that no team ever does what Orlando did, which is run the shot clock to 0.5 before you shoot. So the ball is in the air as the shot clock is expiring one long rebound or one tip of the ball, and the game is over. Lo and behold, the rebound bounces really far out. The Celtics grab it.

They call timeout. There probably should have been like .6 or .8 left on the clock. They gave them .3. All they have is a lob. Jamal Mosley, I don't know if that was scripted. I assume that it was. I assume that was the advice. That should be your default plan is we are shooting.

If you don't put pressure on us, if you don't trap us, if you don't do stuff to speed us up, we're shooting with zero on the shot clock.

And Joe Mazzullo was like, well, bad luck. It was a long rebound. Like, that's not bad luck. Like, a lot of rebounds of threes are long rebounds. That's, like, baked into the whole equation. I would have fouled there if I were him. I get why you play for the stop because... Teams assume the Magic will just go early and shoot with eight on the shot clock, and they didn't.

Quick thoughts on Warriors-Rockets. The last game four resumes tonight. Warriors win a Steph Curry masterpiece in game three to go up two to one. This is almost a must win for the Rockets, despite the fact that they have home court advantage. It's very hard to see them beating the Warriors three times in a row, particularly if and when Jimmy Butler comes back.

Warriors use a makeshift lineup with Post and Kaminga, end up finishing the game with a small ball lineup. I mean, the Rockets' offense is what it is. What are you looking for very quickly in game four tonight?

It's a tough subject for me.

I feel, I mean, I didn't have a ballot this year, but I said I would have put Steph, first team All-NBA over Donovan Mitchell in the fifth spot. I feel even better. I mean, no slight to Donovan Mitchell is unbelievable. I have no problem if he makes first team. He's been first team on my ballot once before. Steph is just unbelievable.

And the three, he hit a three in Jalen Green's face when the score was 92-86 Warriors, where the Warriors like ran a bunch of stuff. Rockets defense has been good this series. Even Jalen Green has been defending pretty decently this series. Like they're playing hard. Nothing happened. Steph Curry catches the ball at the top of the arc with Jalen Green right in his face. No dribble, no anything.

Like no jab step, just rises up and hits a three. And it's like, that's just so mean. It's so dispiriting. And like you said, the Rockets have seen this movie too many times. None of these Rockets, but the Rockets. The building has seen it like they don't deserve that. I just you know, we all knew the Rockets offense was going to be tested in this series. It was their weak link.

It just for them to put up their offensive rating is one hundred and three point six points per hundred possessions. That's very bad. That would have been last in the NBA by a lot. For them to have an offensive rebounding rate approaching 40% and be that inefficient is kind of astonishing.

You know, Ahmed Thompson looks like a young guy who's a little bit lost in this series because of his lack of a jump shot, and they can put anybody they want on him, and they haven't figured that out yet. Not surprising. The Adams-Shen Goon thing has been good, but they're clearly skittish playing it when Steph is on the floor.

Yeah, it certainly felt that way. They dialed it back. And defensively, they've been good. That's great. They're still in the series. Offensively, what they have is just not good enough. And Sam Amick wrote the piece for The Athletic. We've all been talking about it all year.
