Round 1 Winds Down: Lakers Eliminated, Game 6 Previews, and More With Michael Pina

But I'm just curious, watching him, how he can hold up defensively against the pick and rolls that Cleveland will run at him. He's going to probably be matched up from the start with Jared Allen, who is like this combination of... Wilt Chamberlain and I don't even... He's shooting like 99.9% from the field in the playoffs.

But yeah, I'm curious how can Turner keep everything in front of him? Because he's going to need to be... Like up. That's how he's played them in the past and what you need to do when you're going up against Darius Garland or Donovan Mitchell. So if you're up and Allen gets behind you or you have a rotation, low man rotation, like again, you're in rotation and that is when Cleveland is dominant.

And so... I don't know if this is like a blasphemous thing, but I'm curious to see if in this series, Cleveland will make Indiana do defensively to it what Indiana made Milwaukee do, which is we have to basically like switch everything. This stinks. And our big is getting roasted every single time. Brooke Lopez eventually got played out of that series.

And it's because it's just so difficult as a... I'm not saying Miles Turner's plotting. I think he's got a little bit of... He's not Brook Lopez right now, but it's a tall task for him defensively. So I think that his ability to hold the fort...

And as a team collectively, for them to kind of, you know, shrink the floor a little bit, but also, you know, stop the roll, but also take away the corners at the same time.

I honestly didn't even consider Thomas Bryant in my thought process for that reason, because I thought that... I just think that you have to switch a ton against...
