But it's very clear that smaller players against big players can do whatever they want. And I'm not using that as the example. You're down 40 or 50 points. This is not why Denver lost Game 7. But It felt like, at least for me, Roger, that it was like a three-part thing with how they would defend.

It's like Caruso's there to, kind of in football, like chip Jokic, and then it's on the catch, and then it's, okay, here's the next stage of this. So if Caruso can muddy the timing just by fighting with Jokic in here, it's not going to necessarily stop Jokic, but it's going to just delay all of this stuff. We're going to be able to disrupt this stuff. As a smaller player...

The problem is now like Neesmith can say, hey, they can't call them all because I think Caruso is probably going, hey, they can't call all of it. And I don't even feel like he was hacking them so badly late again that it was like necessarily part of the game outcome. When you knew that, like it's funny because with Brunson, they might call them all against against Kat.

They're not calling all of them. How do you balance that when you're thinking about how you're getting switched or what your primary assignment is?

the pacers you kind of have to defend everything right you've got to be ready that that whole idea of like all those possessions over the course of a series like you have to get back if you're the other side of the shot you have to get back you've got to make sure you're back in transition and that can wear on you the same way we're talking about facing somebody picking you up full court but the struggle i've had in kind of picking this series is

Is it going to be that the Pacers, you have to defend everything the entire game versus the one guy that's better at closing than any of the 10 players are going to be on the floor? Or do I take the Knicks because this Mitchell Robinson thing is real? It's been terrific.

And thinking about how much the Celtics struggled in the physical part of this, that restricted area was owned by the Knicks during that series and in an alarming way. And when I think Turner's like your only option, other than the handful of Thomas Bryant minutes that they're going to just try to save Turner with.
