AJ Mitchell went at him on a couple of floaters where he was the help defender and they got a big offensive rebound from Hartenstein late in the game.

J dub drove Adam for a mid range to Caruso drove Adam for a foul and they put him in and they didn't actually, they did not put him in as many like pick and rolls as I thought when I watched the game, I looked at the tracking data.

It's about a normal amount of he's guarding the screener and the pick and roll.

But I thought they just, they weren't as afraid of him.

And I think that's the approach that you have to have.

I also thought

I'd have to rewatch it because, as you were hinting at before, it's sometimes confusing to figure out what kind of defense the Spurs are in.

Is it just a straight-up zone?

Is it everyone else plays man-to-man and Wemby just does whatever he wants?

Wait, Cornette's on the floor.

What are they doing?

I did think they got a little too cute at times in the game playing these hybrid zone, whatever they're doing.

Particularly with Cornette on the floor, there were times where Chet was left open in the corner and it didn't seem like they knew that Chet was going to be open in the corner and they had these desperate closeouts.

Chet got a dunk.

Chet drew a foul.

There were some swing sequences that were opened up because, again, it was the Cornette minutes.

It's not the Wembley minutes.

And they were playing some sort of zone and the middle was just wide open.
