I think somewhat of the difference there is, and I thought it was important that he had two of the drives that he had against Jakob Pertl, not because Jakob Pertl is like a shutdown isolation defender, but because Tyrese typically does not drive switches. And there was two times in that game where he was able to drive, get past Jakob Pertl, and actually go... and finish at the rim.

Typically, he goes sideways. He'll want to use the sidestep to beat a switch on the perimeter or hunt the switch pocket. The fact that he was looking and driving and doing that in a more athletic way I felt was meaningful tonight in this game because Brooklyn is a team that switches more universally than what the Toronto Raptors do.

The numbers for Tyrese and Miles, they were the number one pick-and-roll combination in the NBA last year.

against switch it has not been good to start the season so some of that is on miles because he's leaned on you know one-legged figures again after he had made some progress in that regard some of it's you know people scramming kick out switches and then he kind of stands behind it and some of it's just you know connected to tyrese's shot like him pulling from 30 feet against the switch pocket when he was in the early shooting slump wasn't as effective so

then it becomes more Tyrese and Siakam. While against a team like Brooklyn, when the two top defenders are guarding Tyrese and Siakam, you're not really gaining anything when they screen for each other in the same way. So now you're seeing some more turnovers again because now a wedge rolls with Obi Toppin. It's not with Pascal Siakam.

And Obi Toppin doesn't have the same connection out of those post-ups as what you'd see with Tyrese and Pascal. I think with Tyrese, a lot of times, one of the turnovers tonight where he's dribbling in transition and he goes to a pirouette. I love jump passes. Everybody knows this. The jump pass has been very key to Tyrese. He was jumping because he had an idea, not because he ran out of ideas.
