How's the how's the big guy feeling after his first game back as you feeling? How's he looking to you?
He feels good. You know, it looks pretty good. So yeah, I think he's, you know, better you know he got his I think his other hand was hit so yeah in the back ahead. Yeah. I gotta fill in the playoffs there gonna be a lot of hitting going back what I'm watching So You know but again he's he's really weathering the storm again through stuff. So good. All right, guys, thank you very much. We can know if I was interested. When you think
the keys to this one is this the same script
is the same script, you know, a little bit different, obviously. You know, I wouldn't be shocked if Dr. Robinson played some, you know, with the way he shot balls, shoots the ball, you know, the fact that they have him on the bench. But all that shooting just tells you how deep they are. You know, but I think that won't change how they play if he does play. And you know, listen, they're gonna come in and look, I feel like we felt after game one where we missed a lot of shots and then did it again in game two. So I guess it was their turn. Hopefully they can do it again, again, for
you like this just smashed on it, like when the playoffs come coaches?
Like, yeah, I don't think it's as much as given I mean, obviously, thank you build your all your team all year. So you know, a great coach. So me once you build your chessboard during the season, you know, by the time the playoffs start, they're already in place. Now you have to move them around, but they're already in place. You mentioned their miss shots. And I guess how much of that is missing shots versus stuff. I think a little bit of both, I thought were way better defensively, but also thought they did miss some shots. You know, I'm sure it's same way we felt like, it's always gonna be every night, every NBA game is gonna be a make Miss game, there's gonna be nights where you play good defense, and they still make shots. And you still gotta figure out a way to win that game, there's gonna be a night where you get great shots, and you can't make anything. And then you got to try to figure out how to win that game. Not a lot you can do about it. But all you can do is get guy shots. And once they get those shots, and they go into great, you're better, you're smarter coats that day, you know, they don't, then you have to still try to figure out a way of winning the game.
You didn't get that.
I thought I thought the defense was better. I thought in the in the paint for sure. Joe had a big, you know, he made a big difference. Also, I thought he was able to pressure the beats out, you know, there are times you know, one of the things Miami does a great job of they get into bam, bam was one of the better pastors in the league. I don't think he gets enough credit for that. And Joe got up and forced him out higher. That's something that that, you know, none of our other pigs can really do as well. And just Joe size and quickness, that helps kind
of game theory. Kyle is getting right into like, the top of the art for a job covering. Yeah, that's something that you want him to live with. And
you know, I think Kyle had a game similar to Joel's where he had played and he'll be better tonight. We have to, we have to expect that. And you know, we talk about it every game, expect their best, and then try to stop it. So Kyle will be better. I didn't like anyone laugh, you know, probably seven times. And that's the way he wants to go. And you know, he didn't do anything with it. But that's not going to be him tonight
is that there was also like Jimmy and Kyle and Tyler would get a lot of rejecting the ball screaming. Yeah. How do you mitigate that
and stop rejecting you know, obviously, I mean, it's not like we when we call our coverage we don't want rejects that's in the every defense and NBA guys are good. You know, they really are. And there will be some tonight we know that and so on those hopefully we can garner rejects a very hurtful to your defense.
What can James do to kind of limit some of the turnovers in the series?
Yeah, listen, they're reading and jump in and be more be more aware of them coming with every turns their back, they're coming. And they come hard. You know, a lot of teams kind of, you know, shell up. They're not doing that they're attacking his dribble. You know, we watched them on tape. He's, he'll be better.
They have less size, obviously up their bench tonight with Denman out, does that alter your thinking in terms of playing Joelle when Bam is on the bench or do not change? You know,
Joelle plays in his we want him on the floor as many minutes as he can be on the floor. And obviously, we kind of we talked about before we heard that about that, and we really believed that they probably would go small But today anyway, against our second year.
Isolation matchups have been more fruitful than others like when he's up against band and band switches and it's in front of them. Are you telling him more likely that he should get off the ball or do you
just want them to make plays you know, and they are excellent defender. That's why they they're able to switch. Now they put quickness and size on James so that's not the match that we're looking for. It's the magic that we've had too many times. Alright guys
