They continued to play fast with Pascal as a starter at the back end of last season. But those people were never all playing at the same time. So, like, tonight when you're watching the third quarter and they start to make a run, it's Tyrese, it's TJ, it's Johnny Furphy, it's Obi Top, and it's them looking for guys where Tyrese is being face-guarded.
94 feet it's good when their numbers are much better when Tyrese is playing with either Andrew Nembhard or playing with TJ McConnell so somebody else can quickly get into offense they have people who are probably filling the spacing lanes and then they have the rim runner you can tell a lot of times in these games that the spacing template just isn't right and on for what their two-side fast break should be there's been some breakdowns there and that was in part why the second quarter I made a joke that it was like watching a team throw a beach ball around at a concert but some of that was because of the spacing

It was because like they sometimes they'll have a three side or a four side fast break and nobody rectifies it. Or sometimes Miles Turner, after being pretty effective as a rim runner and a trailer last year so they can get into secondary offense, will be like they'll just be running into the to the penetration angle of the ball handler. It's like right in front instead of staying behind a trail.

So they've had some issues there, and that's something that they've had to tinker with. It's not the same team like it is in terms of the roster is the same team, but not really.

And I think that's kind of been the biggest struggle. And opening night against the Pistons, they didn't play particularly fast, but they did find a way. And I was like, well, if nothing else, this wasn't a particularly well-played game, but they showed that they could win ugly. That hasn't been the case very much in these other ones.

And, like, even just to point out, too, like, you know, people criticized it at the time, but... Buddy healed is a loss here. Like it didn't show up as much in the playoffs. They still were able to maintain their identity. And that was like, oh, okay.

Like if they, if they can still score to this degree against the Boston Celtics and Boston is saying that was our toughest competitor in the playoffs. And like, look at the decent difference in effort from game four. That Eastern Conference final series when Tyrese wasn't even playing to what it looked like in this game tonight when they're having to lean on, you know, deeper into the rotation.

And again, some of that's because people who are capable of playing that play style were sitting on the bench and street clothes tonight. But you see the point there and what the contrast is.
