And, you know, their spacing is really bad.
And what they count on usually is, you know,
a lot of isolation basketball with either KD or Shangoon Jabari Smith being counted on to hit wide open shots, which sometimes he does.
Sometimes he doesn't.
Sometimes he's run off the three point line and has to hit a two dribble pull up.
And that's your offense.
But there are plays where like there was a play in the Spurs game where, you know, Shangoon gets it at the elbow and, you know, Kevin Durant is denied.
um, on a DHO.
Uh, and they basically doesn't know what to do.
And there's like nine seconds on the shot clock.
And he looks over at Jabari and Jabari sprints over, takes the ball and he hits a step back, uh, mid range jumper over blue coordinate.
But it's like, that wasn't, that's not what he may have dug.
He knows that's not sustainable offense.
And I don't like when I watched them play, um,
throughout the basketball game their half court offense they'll run stuff like they'll run things they can get amen thompson moving like amen thompson will rip screen and dive he will uh you know they'll run a flare screen for reed shepherd that shifts the defense and then he can flip it back to amen and amen can drive a closeout and he's so he's got the quickest first step in the
So we can get into the paint at will, but they don't really do that.
And so our men is sort of in these situations where he's got to go up against a loaded up defense when he does have the ball and he does the, the Euro step or the D cell.
And it's just a contested paint shot outside the restricted area.
And he's sometimes he makes them and that's great.
Sometimes they crash the offensive glass and get the rebound, obviously.
