The guy's been in front of me all the time because, like, it'll be like a game today and we'll have, like, a practice scheduled on the calendar. I'm like, fellas, like, today's good, but, like, Tuesday's the big day.
Probably like a couple times, yeah. Yeah, you got it every now and then. I knew we were going to have a tough stretch this season because Sam Cassell is our top assistant, and I rely on him because he's been around the league so much. And to this day, I still wear him out. But we were in Abu Dhabi. And we had gone like two, three days in a row and the travel was bad.
And I was like, hey, Sam, like, you know, what should we do? Like, I think we should have practice today. And he's like, give him a day off, you know, be nice to him. And I was like, you know, you're going to fucking, you know, you're going to set it like this is going to come back to kill us. No, we're in the middle of January, and we're not playing well.
And I was like, Sam, this all started when you took the day off in Abu Dhabi.
No, I mean, I think both teams, like I said, every team in the league is better than us at something. Every team in the league presents a huge threat, and every team in the league is dangerous. And, you know, at the end of the day, like, you don't get to pick who you play, which is part of what I like about the playoffs.
And whoever it is, they're going to have a great game plan, and they're going to have things that we're going to have to really work at to exploit on both ends of the floor.
So at the time, remember they beat us on Christmas Day, which was a tough game there. At the time, it was their ability to play on transition and force turnovers. They did a great job heading into game four or three at Philadelphia. They were the best turnover-forcing team in the league, which allowed them to get out and transition.
And then with their ability to play Yabusele at the floor, they were able to kind of stretch the defense out. So we had to change our matchups and go to some different coverages. So every team in the league can bend your identity and force you to go to different things. And I felt like this season we developed a bunch of different identities playing a bunch of teams like that.
Yeah, I mean, I think they're, you know, the thing about them is they were really, they were great last year. Yeah, they were. They were great. Like they won 17 out of 18. This year, I think they've stayed healthy longer and they've gotten some depth with that. And, you know, DeAndre Hunter, I think Mobley has gotten better. You know, I think they're just, they're well coached.
You know, they obviously got a great backcourt and they can play different ways, right? Like they're really versatile defensively and then they can play different ways offensively as well. But they've been this good for like two, three years in my opinion.
I mean, I think we're going to have to sit Hank down and kind of – Give him a stern talking to about how this all goes down.
Is there ever such a thing for Hank?
Or like that haircut. Can you grow like the Dallas, Texas one where just the back of your head? The mullet? The mullet? No, but it's like just the back is hair and everything else is like really, really short.
So 11 days, we've got The Accountant 2 coming out. Yeah.
I mean, every off day in between a game. If it's as good as I think it's going to be, I'll watch it every off day in between. That first one's unreal, isn't it?
What have you been doing for the last 15 years?
The two, the three, like... Play off Old Faithfuls of the Town, The Dark Knight Rises, and there's a great documentary on Apple TV called Restrepo. Yeah. Have you seen Restrepo? Yeah.
I need to. You know what I'm learning to memorize is the frog speech from Lone Survivor. Okay. How far along are we? I'll watch that scene before games sometimes. I love that. Yeah. I'm not where I need to be in memorizing it, but I'm pretty close, you know? Been around the world once. Yeah. Been around the world twice. Talked to everybody once. Uh-huh. Seen three girls F'd in the four-world fair.
Yeah. Never shoot a large caliber man with a small caliber bullet.
There's 28 potential games. You need 28 large caliber bullets.
