And you're just denying them that little sort of break in between rounds of action, if you will.

But no team's doing it more than the Blazers.

And then your team, the Celtics, are right there too.

And if you have a lot of good defensive-minded guards and you're young, why not?

Like you're saying, nobody wants to see this.

And...

In an era where everybody wants to get into early offense, we've all learned that that's where the efficient part of the shot clock is.

Slowing them down and taking that away, making them sort of toil until they're 16 or 17 on the shot clock.

And you hear players starting to say that, too.

I just don't want to make it easy.

Like, why should I just let you walk it up?

If you look at teams which aren't doing it, one team sticks out, which is the Lakers.

And that sort of makes sense because their guards...

are not great defensive minded stars.

Yeah.

Luca and Austin Reeves aren't going to do this, but if you have Derek White or if you have Shaden Sharp and Drew Holiday and you have good depth behind them, why don't you just do this?

Be these pests in the backcourt and slow down your opponents.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my third trend.

I love the Suns, though.
