So if you're going to sacrifice turnovers and aggression, you better nail fouls and defensive rebounding.

And they do.

They don't allow a lot of threes and they don't allow a lot of shots at the rim.

That's not an accident.

When the split is that dramatic, that's a thing that the coaches are stressing and the players are executing.

And on offense, they take tons of threes and they get to the rim a lot.

All of that is like when the talent catches up to the infrastructure, it could get interesting.

And Charles Lee has coached under Mike Budenholzer in multiple spots.

Um, and you, and it almost flirts with like the doc rivers, uh, we're, we're emphasizing defensive rebounding above transition offense.

We're going to play super low risk.
