How did we get here? | Morning Shoot Around

Some of these guys are really good at basketball. And I really like, we've never seen this level of talent is really what it is. They've never played at this pace. They've never had to defend this much space ever. It's again, we can go into how this is also an argument for fewer games and all these other things because yeah, you know, it's going to be more detrimental to these guys' bodies.

But the truth is like the game has never been this intense. And to ask seven guys to go out there and give you all the minutes that you know, it's just unrealistic.

Well, if Adam is going to get that job, I think it's just there. That's a continuity.

So it's just continuity. I mean, to the, to the point about coaching, like, and a new guard, I mean, I think everything's become so standardized now that the younger coaches are just a little bit better. Like you said, S at relating to the players. I mean, there is an age gap and I, and there's a point where coaches probably age out.

I would guess that gap is getting smaller and smaller just with the way that the world works. And then it's a, it's a very competitive job, like an environment. And there are coaches that are fantastic that you never heard of. Right. At every level. But you look at stuff like what Memphis did. They went out and they found their next coach before they got rid of their old coach.

I think that's what we're going to see even more of. The Bucs did it with Doc. That's a weird way to do it. They didn't go find a younger guy. They got rid of a younger guy. But I think that what you're going to see is, again, more organizations looking for that alignment. all the way through the coach where, hey, you're doing what we want you to do. And that's what we're going to see in Memphis.

They're going to be playing a faster-paced style. They've got to figure it out as far as how these guys are going to survive it. But this is the future of the NBA.
