Kirk Goldsberry

those fertile moments on Yaka deserves a lot of credit.

He's one of the more efficient rim protectors when his feet are in good position in the NBA.

So it's not exactly like an easy guy to pick on at the rim, but yeah, I guess I'm, I'm really focused on Donovan Mitchell, man, because like you said, at the beginning of this, like sort of teasing about the trade machine,

this is not a great start to the playoffs for this team.

It hasn't been a good year.

I do expect Toronto to find a way to win game six.

And like, again, like the, like the Lakers, the brink of disaster awaits if, if the wrong team wins game six, and that's going to be a lot of pressure on that team.

No, man.

I guess we both missed our trivia questions today.

It's a sad day on the Zach Lowe show.

It's still an if.

You did a good job saying, hey, this is sort of the casual fan's introduction to Scottie Barnes.

And I agree with that.

But it's also the casual fan's introduction to one of the better defenses in the Eastern Conference.

And look, Toronto, without quickly, you sort of alluded to this earlier, very, very good defense.

I think Shedd had one of the more impressive sort of nerdy defensive plays

plays in this series where he, he sort of leapt at, uh, I forget who's bringing up the ball to force that eight second violation and a really, yeah, it was a really smart play.

I've loved his defense since he was in college.

Um, RJ Barrett, I had this in my notes too.

Um, one of the more improved three point shooters in these playoffs, just up there with OG and Anobi, they're both in the top three of like the big shooting spikes I've monitored.
