possessions against the zone it's like can you you guys can't set a fucking screen and get somebody on just the catch in the middle like how can you not like i remember getting screamed at because you play youth basketball you know i'm not comparing i'm not trying to compare the same two things but you're putting your head down so i think you're in agreement with me here but like how can the nba guys struggle with getting a fucking catch in the middle against these zones i
yeah that's what my favorite part of like watching zone stuff um because as soon as it breaks then the coach is like oh no yeah like oh my god we have to stop doing this and you know we're spending a lot of time talking about it i don't think minnesota's i mean who knows i mean they'll probably try a few different things but i don't think of them as a team that's like

They just don't have to play zone because they have really good defenders and they have a backline guy. I think it's a bigger thing and I already know what you're going to say considering how you made your money, but It's starting to become too much of an equalizer, I think, between the bad team and the good team.

And I think Golden State, Minnesota was like a good example of that, too, at times where it's like Minnesota should be running away with these games. And they did in the second half. They took control. They were clearly the better basketball team. But it used to always be the thing when like the high school team sucked against the much better team.

They're like, hey, we're going to play zone and we're just going to see if we can like muck this up long enough and then have a chance at the end. I don't know that I want that in the NBA playoffs.

And who knows? I mean, who knows? Maybe they'll just say, hey, we're going to put our length at the top and screw this up here. But like when I think of how much Denver played it, you know, when I think of how much Golden State played Was was throwing it out there. I thought it was at least worth a conversation a little bit. OK, on the Minnesota side of things.

I can't believe we're getting this Randall in the playoffs. This is this is a completely different dude. I mean, if you look at anything, it's not like there's a ton of playoff experience here, but. I remember a few series in the past where I was like, okay, you might just be the guy who gets 20 on teams that don't even win 40 games. I don't know that you're going to be somebody.

I mean, he is just a rebirth of Julius Randle, which I think has to be part of the way. If you're going to get that kind of guy out of him, this is a completely different series than I think just the understanding that OKC is far superior to everybody else.
