00:00It's one of a handful of games where you had your all like your nine best players
00:04So the only guys that played, you know, if they are ever 100% healthy
00:08That's what it's gonna look like and then you see that in the second half. Is that sort of speak to just they haven't been
00:14On the floor together a lot or like is there something to the fact that we haven't seen these guys play much together?
00:19Yeah, they've had their entire rotation just two times this year
00:23They were supposed to have it last night and then Derek White and Jordan Walsh were both scratched with illnesses
00:27So part of it is the rhythm
00:29I think that especially is
00:30Affecting the shooting like when you're looking at the three-point shooting which has obviously been down a little bit this year almost two full percentage
00:36Points from a year ago. You're looking at the guys that have been in and out of lineup
00:39It's Jalen Brown drew holiday Christoph's Porzingis Sam Hauser
00:42All of them are shooting career lows or near their career lows just because they haven't been able to get into a rhythm
00:48So I think that is an under
00:50Underrated aspect of this and it's certainly paying a factor. Do you think?
00:54Do you think that was intentional? They took fewer threes last night
00:57Like you've pointed out in the Rockets game. They only took 39
00:59So it's not like they never shoot below 50
01:02But Mike Malone made a big thing before the game and maybe it's easier to do without yokich
01:06The the Nuggets didn't have yokich last night, but he made a big song and dance. They're gonna get 50. It doesn't matter
01:11That's their thing. It's all about the quality of shots they get and then the Celtics went out and took 35
01:16They only made 12. They were out shot on makes and attempts by Denver last night
01:20Do you think that was intentional like an FU to Mike Malone?
01:23I don't and they only actually hit the 53 point attempt marks once in this trip
01:27There was a Minnesota game while the rest were under 50
01:29I think that was a product of Nicola yokich being out and just having less room protection
01:33obviously Aaron Gordon as well and
01:35They actually did that in the first half of the Oklahoma City game to where they weren't afraid to use their size
01:39I thought Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown in the first half in OKC. We're just bullying them. They had no answer. They were too big
