He has to take care of the ball, and he has to play extremely fast. And that is Indiana's identity. That is why Indiana is here. They are also very disciplined. They have one of the best offenses in the NBA, and they do it just zip, zip, zip.

They go up the court, and then once they cross half court, they pass fast, they cut, they screen, and everything is just a whir, and it really is confusing to defend.

Both these teams are incredibly deep. And I think what we're seeing in the NBA right now is you can have two, three all-stars on your team. But if four, five, six, seven, eight, nine aren't above average at what they do and are willing to accept their role and thrive in whatever responsibility set the coaching staff gives them... You're just not going to be very good.

And this is such a longer conversation about like the finances of the league and how difficult it is to build teams like this. But both these teams have done an excellent job of identifying players who fit the style of play that they want to execute and just kind of affording it all, frankly.

I do hear them ask questions about, well, surely this is a mistake, or what did she do wrong, or Carol's not a criminal, why is this happening to her? I mean, something like this brings it home because it makes it personal.

Rudy was phenomenal. Um, I should have known that you were referring to Rudy and that's where we should start. And one of the first things in my notes, watching the game early on was how his teammates were trusting him. So very early on, Julius Randall had Luca, Luca guarding Julius Randall, by the way, um, in the back half of this series, which was kind of a disaster.

But, you know, they load up on the strong side. Randall beats Luka off the dribble, finds Rudy cutting through the paint for a bucket. They hit Rudy on a rim run. He seals Luka, and Luka had to pick up his second foul, I believe, like five or six minutes into the game.
