But you have guys like Lou Dort, who, like, that's his job is to harass all game. He don't care if he shoots 10 times or two times. Same with AC. AC might get 15 points, but he'll impact the game by getting – Four steals, two blocks, a charge, three deflections. Cason Wallace is a really good defender, too. So they have specific specialist guys on their team that they really get after.
Earlier this year, it was... We played them later on, you know, right after. We played them right after the All-Star break. We gave them a pretty good run up in Sacramento. But, you know, it was a hard-fought game. But every possession, you have to make a shot or you have to really work the offense. And they're really well coached, really well coached.
they're they're a hard-nosed team but they get up and down fast they don't care if you score you take they take it out of bounds quick they you know they bring the ball you have to play fast for some I think this last year in Chicago we played them pretty well even the year before we played them we played them decently and they've had the same style of play Rick Carlisle you know hell of a coach you know Halliburton can literally you know do what he wants to with the ball and get into the paint facilitating guys he'll have a good game by not even scoring well sometimes but um
Yeah, you got to play fast versus them. I think the Knicks, you know, they are one of the slower paced teams in the NBA, you know, so it's, you know, it's a pick your battle. Essentially, you either got to pay at their pace or, you know, you can't have any turnovers. You got to get them in foul trouble.
You know, you got to make them play at your pace and it's hard to do that with guys, you know, running.
I mean, that's the new, there's a lot of guys that come into the game and start celebrating over one shot. I think that's the newer generation of guys.
If you could play one game, 36 minutes, how many points do you think you could score?
They were wide open.
Yeah, they take the ball out the net and they literally, it's a next play mentality. And they have a lot of guys out there that are hard-nosed. Like, T.J. McConnell's been a winner since he was in high school. You know, a lot of, like, he's a guy that... I played against them in college, and them hard-nosed guys, Neesmith, you know, all those guys. Siakam's come from winning.
You know, they're a good team.
I mean, Cat's one of the most skilled people in the NBA in general. It's not even crazy. I think he's a top big in the league, and he's proven that over the last seven years of his career. There's not a lot of guys you can compare him to. I think that trade for him was big time too because – I mean, I think the trade for both of them was big.
You know, Minnesota, you know, getting some more toughness with Julius Randle. You see that both were in the, you know, the conference finals. But Katzenkrupp was one of my good friends. I always root for him. It just shows how, you know, how skilled and how talented he is because, you know, any team he gets on, he can elevate.
Oh, yeah, we were – When I got drafted, I just turned 19, you know, and then I played me and Drew were together when he got traded over, and then Cat got drafted next year. So, you know, we were really good those first three years. I think we were one of the only teams that had, like, three guys averaging 20 or more points, and we were all under 21. So, you know, good times.
Yeah, I mean, you can always think, but you never know. I think – Growing up and then seeing, you know, obviously the trajectory of each of our careers, you know, I think we needed it, you know, especially, you know, for me, like me being able to go to Chicago and, you know, have pretty much become the player that I was.
I don't think that would have happened if we all stuck together, but you never know how good of a team we could have been.
You know, I think I take everything in stride, but I think that's the beauty of basketball. Yeah.
KG liked me a lot. Me and KG sat next to each other. That's like one of my main vets. I have a specific story that's hilarious. I hope you don't get mad at this. He comes in the locker room and a couple guys get on their phone immediately. And they're looking at either stats or Twitter. I don't know. They're looking at something. And this is like one of his first, you know, first games with us.
And he's looking around. He looks next to me. He's like, Zach, they always do this shit. I say, yeah, man, you know, I don't know any different. It's my first, you know, my first time in the NBA. Gets up, grabs everybody's phone, puts in a bag. So we're not doing this shit no more. A couple extra, you know, expletives. Throws the bag outside the locker room before flips comes in.
Flip comes in the locker room, starts talking about the meeting. He holds it up. He said, no, we're not doing this shit. Nobody gets on their phone one more time. I promise you every phone is getting broken. Go ahead, flip, start the meeting. He set the tone immediately from that. You know, it was the first time we got traded over. But KG, it was incredible having those guys, him, Mo Williams.
Andre Miller, Rubio, Tayshaun Prince was on the team. We had a lot of vets. Corey Brewer, it was an exciting team. It was a mix of literally young puppies and old dogs, so it was fun.
