Make it hard to get around. And then we'll handle on the back end. I think they've kind of found the sweet spot. People don't know this. That's what happened with Klay. Klay wasn't a great defender. Bart Jackson was like, bro, you are blowing every rotation. Just hound the ball. Right. Jeff found the ball and we'll handle what happens behind you.

To me, that's why people like Draymond and KG can be underrated because when they do their job the best, it means nothing happened.

amongst anybody. It's not that he's just stopping a guy. He used to do this all the time to me. You would have loved it because he'd be in the locker room saying, I'm going to do this in the first quarter to set up when I'm doing a fourth quarter.

He's like, alright, I know this is what they want, so here's the things I'm going to do to mess that up and make them go a completely different direction.
