That, to me, I think has something to it.

The Bill Simmons Podcast

Right.

The Bill Simmons Podcast

There's none of that.

It is such a tactical and almost mechanical, not in a bad way, style.

They're just like, hey, we're going to play really efficient basketball and at all times have five monster defenders on the court.

And you're just going to be like, ah.

The Bill Simmons Podcast

next game's probably going to be easier and we're going to win.

But it's like, I don't think he went into that move with the hope of making a basket.
