They just constant moving and cutting and screening and. warp speed dribble handoffs and all that sort of stuff. I don't want to be reductive with where my head goes in the analysis from the top, but surface level, the first thing that I think about is Tyrese Halliburton and his defense. And I think about that because...

It's not new, this thing where if you're an extremely talented offensive player who is not very... You can't be played off the floor, obviously. He's the engine of the team. But there are some limitations on the defensive end that teams will poke at kind of cruelly in a playoff series, as the Detroit Pistons are doing right now with Jalen Brunson.

And I watched the first round where the Cleveland Cavaliers publicly stated, Darius Garland publicly stated, called Tyler Hero out by name in terms of, this is what we're doing. This is our offensive game plan to put this guy in ball screens, make him defend, attack him. And I think that it'll be really interesting. We don't have a big sample this season.

with Halliburton against the Cleveland Cavaliers he played in one game one half really a game that the Pacers won and he got hurt I think he pulled his hamstring and it was like in January or something and then he played them again in April but no one on the Cavs played in that game because it didn't mean anything to them um

So just thinking about how often are the Cleveland Cavaliers going to go at Tyrese Halliburton? How much success will they have doing so? And what is the balance between just running our stuff? We run pick and roll anyway. Yeah. A ton of pick and roll. We have a lot of success with it. We love pick and roll with our bigs.

We don't really want to... We could obviously run multiple pick and rolls and get a switch that way or something like that. But we don't want to muck up our offense. It's beautiful. It produced 136.2 points per 100 possessions in the first round. But I'm just curious, just... how central Halliburton's defense will be in this series. So that's the primary thing I'm going to be looking at.

their past matchups. And particularly, I was looking at Miles Turner, who I consider to be a pretty big X Factor in this series as well. I've never been a huge fan of his, but he's played great, undeniably. And he was fantastic, I thought, in the first round. And obviously, his pick and roll with Halliburton is lights out and incredibly efficient.
