It feels like there's always we always get one or two of these games where now we're questioning the entire system that's worked for them for the last two years. They won 61 games. They have a very, very bad shooting night. But ultimately, they are a team very similar to the old Golden State Warriors, where in 90 seconds, a game can feel like it's over.

No, but I think as the series goes on, you start to, if I'm a player and my teammate is getting doubled, right? Game one, I'm looking and kind of reading. Okay, well, where are the gaps? Where are the lanes? Where's my shot? Where's the help coming from, right? By game two, game three, I'm no longer thinking. It's like boom coming. I know he's not going to leave chat.

So now I'm going to go downhill. Now my outlets are floater kick out to the corner or the big diving. So then it'd be by game three, four, you're really just moving. You're cruising. So it is. And that's where Denver, they have to do it. I think in spots, but if you give any team a steady diet of anything, boy, those boys will figure it out and they will carve you apart. That's what same thing.

You can't just get the ball out of Donovan Mitchell's hands. Cause if it's in there, then they start to see it and they get good at it very quickly. That's the level of a great team. How quickly can we adjust, but also hurt you with it. And so same with Celtics, you can't just double team. You can't double team Jason Tatum and get the ball out of his hands. I got too many shooters.

You got presenting this, you got this. So that's great. I think that's a great system. And it is a good idea to get it out of the MVP, out of the guy that's averaging 30 points a game in every game. Get it out of his hands. But you can't do it for every single game. I'm going to say you can't. It's hard to do it every single game because teams start to pick up on it.

Same with like just face guarding Steph. It works. It worked for, you know, three quarters, two and a half quarters in that game, five without Jimmy. But once they break free, now it's like you're playing four on four. That's a lot of space. If you're playing a whole half-court game four on four, whoo, If you can get past your opponent, the options are easier to hit because there's less crowded.

The finishes are easier to get to because it's less crowded. So doing that defense works, but you're going to have to continue to mix it up because if you give them a steady diet, they'll break you apart quickly.
