You're at the volume heavy Monday. Everybody. Hope all of you guys had an incredible weekend. It is good to be back. I had a very fun weekend at the sphere with my wife. We went to three Dead shows and just an incredible experience. I've seen them. I think I was talking through this
with my brother last night. I think I've seen nine Dead shows now, so I think I officially qualify as a deadhead. I've really grown to appreciate that as like one of the final opportunities we have to see in old school jam band in their prime. And it's been a lot of fun. That said, it's time to get serious about the NBA. We are three. I was thinking about this when I was recording with Colin last night. And by the way, if you haven't seen that yet,
go to the Colin Coward podcast YouTube channel. We talked last night. We talked a bunch of Celtics, we talked a bunch of Thunder, we talked some Lakers, we talked to some Cooper Flag. We got to do a bunch of stuff, so make sure you guys check that out. But while we were talking, we were thinking about the next time we're gonna record, and it's gonna be in
two Sundays. Two Sundays from now, we're gonna know four of the eight first round series, and that following Sunday we're gonna know all eight of them, and we're gonna have series previews and we have the play in tournament. There's just so much exciting basketball ahead. It feels very very much like the calm before the storm. But that's it. I'm glad I got to take a little bit of a break and do some traveling, but I'm excited to
get back to it. Today. We're going to be talking a little bit of Lakers after their uneven road trip, which has shown a lot of extended stretches of dominance, but also some execution lapses, including a catastrophic loss in Chicago to the Bulls. Or we're talking a little bit about that. I want to shout out Zachary Rissache, who had a career high thirty six points last night, and there was some stuff with him that was popping in a film session I did with him surrounding a Hawk's
Rockets game about a week ago. So I want to kind of talk a little bit about Zachary Rissache's rookie season. And then at the tail end of the show, I think we finally saw the nail, the final nail go in the coffin of the Phoenix Suns last night, as
they just got demolished by the Houston Rockets. So I want to talk a little bit about the Suns at the tail end of the show, and then we are going live tonight after the TNT Slates so we're going to be hitting Celtic's Grizzlies as well as Lakers Rockets in tonight's show.

All right, let's talk
some basketball. So after the Pacers game, I talked a lot about the idea of the Lakers having these brief catastrophic lapses in execution that are costing them games or costing them opportunities to close games out more comfortably. Since the Pacers game, they lost an absolutely insane game against the Bulls. The Bulls made eleven threes in the fourth quarter, including a half court shot from Josh Giddy to win it.
And a win in Memphis against the Grizzlies similarly where they led by twenty and then ended up trailing in the fourth quarter. And the Grizzlies have been spiraling a little bit, and they just fired their coach, but they have a ton of talent. Joan Morant was back. They were the five seed, I believe at the time, or the four to five seed. They had the same record as the Lakers, a couple of quality opponents on the road that the Lakers dominated for stretches, yet still had
to manage to almost lose. I talked about those issues after the Pacers game, and a couple of great examples in the two following games. Again, they've played three good teams on the road in this three game span. The Pacers had won seven out of eight. The Bulls had won eight out of ten. And the Grizzlies were in a cold spell, like we said, but their five seed and they've been great at home all year. The Lakers led by at least seventeen points in all three of
those games. They led by twenty against Memphis, they led by eighteen in the fourth quarter of the Bulls game. Yet they trailed in the fourth quarter of every single one of those three games. Actually managed to lose one of them. And if it wasn't for a Lebron tapping at the buzzer against Indiana, they would have gone one
to two in those three games. Long extended stretches of dominance undone with these brief catastrophic laps As an execution the Grizzlies game, I was watching it yesterday in the morning before we went to the airport. They were up fifty to thirty. On a Lebron James shot put them up twenty. The Grizzlies cut that twenty point lead to six in four minutes. Imagine dominating a team for a quarter and a half and losing ninety percent of that progress in a four minute span where you let go
of the rope. It ends up being the same issues every single time. One of these two. On offense, they walked the ball up the floor slowly. They usually succumbed to ball pressure and either get too deep into the shot clock and have to take bad shots, or they end up having to face a trap or something like that, and Lebron, Luca or Austin will be sloppy with the way they handle that ball pressure and they'll turn the ball over and they'll end up going the other way
in transition. On defense, and this is one of the most interesting things about this Laker defense. Their defense is predicated on keeping the ball in front of a defender, always keeping someone between them and the rim, so they have to make something over the top. You'll see with their dribble penetration the way they handle it like the guy on the ball has a job to slide his feet and contain the ball. Great example I thought from
the Grizzlies game was Austin Reeves. I thought Austin just did an excellent job for most of the game in reps against John Moran and against Desmond Bain, sliding his feet, absorbing contact, flattening out drives. That's what you want to do, but inevitably you're gonna give up dribble penetration. This Lakers team is going to give up dribble penetration. They have too many of those slower footed guys on the floor.
Foot speed is not necessarily the strength this Laker team outside of a handful of guys, right So from there they have a plan. They're always funneling towards the sideline
and they're offering help from the baseline. And generally speaking, if a guy gets beat off the dribble, that guy who's guarding the ball will just bail and run to the next rotation and there will be somebody almost to like it kind of feels almost like catching, like the guy is the helper is catching the drive, sitting in his stance, arms out wide, right around like that first block, second block, waiting for the guy on the drive in help as the team rotates around him. And that's how
the Lakers deal with dribble penetration. They basically switch on the drive. If that makes sense that that's the type of scheme requires a lot of hard work. The on ball guy has to rotate out of it. The helper has to be there in time. There are these brief openings where guys have to rotate to shooters. It's a lot of running, a lot of reading the play, a lot of communication. And when the Lakers do those things
this year, they've been great defensively. They did it consistently for a few months there from mid January to early March, right and we've seen flashes of it in the last week. They hold Chicago to seventeen points in that third quarter when they go on their big run to take the lead. They shut Indy down in that second quarter when they first took their big lead in that game. But since Lebron's injury, it's been a we'll do it when we
feel like it kind of thing. And again like when in the two main ways that I see them let go of the rope in these like kind of catch help type of rotation situations, it are like at the end of the Indie game, Lucas starts getting beat off the dribble, Ruie starts getting beat off the dribble. The catches were not there. The Lakers were just hugging up off the ball, leaving dudes on an island, and they were giving up easy like concession driving lamps. Again, that's
a fundamental part. So what makes their defense good is they're loaded up, they have their help ready, they rotate out of it, and they literally almost blew a game in Indiana by completely stopping that at the tail end of the game. The second way that you'll end up seeing it is in overhelp situations. This we saw in the Bulls game. It's okay to acknowledge that the Bulls shot eleven for fourteen from three in the quarter. That's
insane under any circumstances. A lot of impressive shot making, right, but you have to find a way as a defense to make guys uncomfortable, to make them miss, And there were several execution errors in that quarter which are going to breed a red hot shooting stretch. They helped off of the strong side corner twice in that fourth quarter against the Bulls. You guys have probably heard this before, this concept of don't help off the strong side corner.
There's a very specific reason why you don't want to help off of the strong side corner. It is the easiest pass in the world basketball player to make. You're funneling guys towards the sideline. Guys on the left wing, he rips to the left, the guy sliding with him,
he's got dribble penetration. What's the easiest pass in the world for that guy to make is if the guy in the left corner steps over and it's like, okay, little ten foot chess pass to a wide open guy standing in the corner literally ten feet away, writing clear view, it's an easy pass to make. Right what you're supposed to do in that situation. That guy, if he wants to gap to where he feels comfortable closing out, that's
one thing where he just reaches and recovers. But that's not the guy you ever want to concede the pass to. You have help coming from the baseline. When the help comes from the baseline, there's a way to beat that help, but it is a substantially tougher pass. Now imagine a different scenario, left wing rip, left dribble penetration. We have Lebron on Kevin Herder in the left corner in the fourth quarter of the Bulls game. Lebron helped off Kevin Herder got a wide open three, and he nailed it.
Let's say Lebron's gapping but stays in control of Herder. Now the help comes from Jackson Hayes along the baseline, who's open the skip for a left handed dribbler trying to go across his body and acrossed helpers covering twenty five feet in the air thirty feet in the air to get to the open man. That's why you don't help off the strong side corner. It's simply about knowing where the help is coming from and making the passer
make a more difficult pass. A more difficult pass over a longer stretch of space that's looping or deflected or not on target is much easier for your defense to rotate out of. That is basketball one oh one. There were two strong side corner helps that gave wide open threes to Kobe White and Order in that fourth herder in that fourth quarter. Those are execution errors. Jackson Hayes overhelped on a drive left Nikole Vusovich wide open at the top of the key. Again, we talked about this.
When a guy has a drive flattened out and under control, he now has to take a contested, off balance layup substantially lower percentage shot on a two. Like if he goes forty five percent on that layup, that's zero point nine points per shot. Your defense can live with that it's the straight line drives where it's like he's going to make a layup every time. That's when you need to be there and ready to help. You overhelp, give
up a wide open three to Vusovich. Luka had a very similar one where a driver was contained, left Patrick Williams wide open at the top of the key. Lebron two awful reps in the final minute uh go screen from Kevin Herder that the Lakers were switching all night. It was a clear switch. Lebron looked like he was on the bus because they're up, you know, five or six with less than a minute left. He thinks the game is over. It's not over. He's lazy. He's on
He's standing upright out of his stance. Kevin Herder slips out of the screen, hits a wide open three the possession before the Kobe White three that gave him the lead. Lebron overhelps on Avusvich upper like kind of left wing area catch, ends up leaving Patrick Williams wide open in the left corner right before he threw the ball away throwing the ball to Kobe White. These are execution errors.
I saw a lot of Laker fans saying like, oh, I cannot believe the Bulls shot eleven for fourteen from three. We have got to get out of this mindset of thinking that shooting is all just luck. It is not. You can play teams into missus and makes to a certain extent, I would argue that process has a much bigger role in shot result than luck, even though we
can acknowledge that luck does play a role. And again, like the Lakers, they they have an opportunity to win the title this year, but there are certain non negotiables things that they absolutely must have tightened up if they're gonna get to where they want to go, and one of them is they have to be the best defensive version of themselves, which is going to require a wire to wire level of execution. I know they can do it. They held what six or seven straight teams to one
hundred and two points or fewer. They are capable of doing that. They have not been doing that since Lebron James came back from injury. I just think it's at least worth acknowledging as a trend and something to keep an eye on. The bottom line is the Lakers just played three good teams on the road, went in methodically dominated them to large leads, and yet they were one Lebron tip in from going one and two. I'm not trying to be all gloom and doom. I'm still super
high on the Lakers. I was listening while I was on the airplane yesterday to Pet and Darius from Laker Film Room, and Darius Oreano does great work. He also writes for Lakers dot com. He was talking about how he viewed these two games, these two kind ugly games to Indiana and Chicago, as part of the Lakers returning
to form before the Lebron injury. I totally agree. I do think that these last three games are a sign, especially after they looked bad against Orlando and what was the of the first Chicago game, they are progressing towards being what they were before the Lebron injury. I am still super high on this team. I'm still very tempted to pick them to win the West when we do our playoff predictions in the coming weeks. But I wanted to harp on these execution lapses because I do view
them as a non negotiable thing. If how many champions do you know of an NBA history? They had a reputation for extended like or like consistent three or four minute stretches in every game where they just don't play hard and they don't execute and they hemorrhage leads. It
burns you, it does, don't tell me it doesn't. It's happened so many times in NBA history that the Bucks Raptors series, when they had that big lead in Game four before they blew it the the the Lakers, excuse me, the Miami Heat blowing that game to the Dallas Mavericks in Game two back in twenty eleven. There are so many examples in NBA history where series who the trophy goes to swings on a team blowing a lead, a
team not finishing the job. Job's not finished until the buzzer sounds, and that is a very important hallmark trait for NBA champions. And I just would like to see before we get to mid April, I would like to see a week or two stretch where the Lakers show that consistent level of execution from buzzer to buzzer again. We are going to be covering the Lakers Rockets game tonight on YouTube, including the Celtics Grizzlies game live on YouTube after the final buzzer of that last game. Let's
move on to Zachary Usache in the Hawk. So he drops the career high thirty six in a dominant victory over the Bucks. So the third game this year he scored over thirty points. Zach's played twenty seven consecutive games. In those games, he's averaging fifteen point two points per game. He's shooting fifty two percent from the field forty three percent from three on over five attempts per game. He's showcasing a little bit more of a quick release against
the Bucks. Hit a couple of no dip jumpers. Those are where the ball is already is caught in the pocket and you flow immediately into the shot instead of having to catch somewhere else and then dip down into your release and like kind of restart your chain of energy from the floor up to the top of the shot. He's showing a lot of really high level scoring. I want to talk about this concept for a minute because I think it's a really important part of team building
moving forward in the NBA. Scoring is the ultimate compliment to playmaking. I've been thinking a lot about this content at this season. When you have elite playmaking on your team, Guys like Trey Young, guys like Lebron, Luca and Nicola Jokic, these really really high level passers. You need elite play
finishing to pay those sequences off. Whether it's a vertical spacer like Aaron Gordon alongside Jokic, or Derek Lively alongside Luca, Jackson Hayes alongside Luca, or a deadly spot up guy someone like Kyle Korter back with Lebron when he was with the Cavs, or Malik Beasley playing with Kid Cunningham. Guys that can pay off these sequences from your playmakers.
But one of the manifestations of that type of player that I've been talking a lot about this year, I've been referring to it as the weak side scoring forward. This is why I went into detail about the strong side corner help thing that we talked about earlier. The same concept is built into pick and roll coverages too. There's a reason why they don't offer low man help out of the strong side corner. They offer low man help out of the weak side corner. Why do they
do that? So that for the same reason on an ISO drive, if a guy's getting downhill in a ball screen. The opening for him as a playmaker is across the court and across his body. That's the goal. You want to make it across the court and across the body, across as many help defenders as possible to make that past difficult, right, but that is ultimately the opening, and all of the best playmakers in the league consistently capitalize on those openings. We've talked about this concept a ton
making reads in pick and roll. What are my reads? Big man steps up, I'm making a read based on the role man or the weak side corner, based on what the low man does. If the loeman steps over, I'm skipping it. If the one man stays home, excuse me, I'm throwing the lob. If the big man drops back and the guard is chasing, my read is to shoot in the mid range. My read is to get as close to the basket for as high percentage of a shot as possible. Those are the pick and roll reads.
And so when these teams, the majority of teams are bringing their big up to the level and bringing the low man over, that skip passes open, and those skip passes are going to be made, especially by Trey young. In these sorts of situations, there's a bunch of different ways that you can look to score right. It's not just hitting spot up threes. It's running your lane in
transition as an athlete, it's driving closeouts. It's oh, they switched a screen or we ran in transition and got a cross match, and now there's a guard on this forward. You need that forward to do a lot more of this high level scoring. These are professional scorers, but primarily
in an off ball context. Examples are like Michael Porter, Junior og An, Andobi Ruy Hatcha, Mura, DeAndre Hunter, Lori Markenen is kind of a high end version of that for the Jazz Denny Avdia, even though he's been doing more on ball stuff as of late, Kyle Kuzma, PJ Washington, this is becoming an extremely important archetype in the NBA. Zachary Rissaschet has been doing some of the best week side scoring work you'll see out of a rookie four
starts in transition. I was watching the Rockets Hawks game from about a week ago. You can find him on my Twitter feed. I shared some clips, but Zachary Rissachet was amazing in transition in that game, just literally out running everybody up the floor, didn't matter if the rebound was captured and he was on the baseline. He was sprinting and it was so visually jarring that I clipped these examples and I put them on my Twitter feed for you guys to see. Watch these three clips. Watch
the way Zachary Rissache runs. Watch when he gets his head of steam, how it literally looks like he's moving a different speed than everyone else on the floor. He's a gazelle. It's crazy. And he'll get two or three wide open attempts at the rim every game just by running the floor. And that pairs perfectly with Trey Young, who's one of the best hit a head passers in the league. I had to coach my last year in college at Arizona Christian University. Shout out to Jeff Rudder.
They just won their conference. Turn him in on a buzzer beater, crazy buzzer beater, and then they made it to the final four before losing Naia tournament. But he used to say to all of us that you can manufacture twelve points a game just by getting a transition layup, running the floor, crashing the offensive glass and getting to the foul line once per half. It's such a simple
way to produce in a basketball game. And even if you take the foul line part out, because obviously there's some out of your control stuff there with the whistle, if you just crash the offensive glass and you just run your lane in transition and you get one bucket a half each, that's eight points right there. You're one bucket away from double figures. It is such a simple way to produce in a basketball game. Run every time,
crash every time. And he presents such a massive passing target for Tray because he's so athletic, so rangy and long. He caught a behind the back lob from Trey in the Bucks game where he dunked it behind his head because it's just a massive passing target. Then in the half court, as we talked about, when they load up the strong side in those skips, it's just like king of the court. When you're playing with your buddies on short closeouts, you need to knock down threes. He's starting
to do that at a really high level. In this twenty seven game span, he's at forty three percent on over five attempts per game. Now, what's gonna start happening. If he can maintain that level of shooting for a substantial amount of time, he's gonna start getting chased off the line. And that's where I think he has a ton of potential as a score. He has downhill burst
attacking close outs. He had a dunk against Shangoon in the Rockets game where he drove a close out off the left wing and just hammered it with his left hand on Shangon's face, a wildly athletic play. He has good footwork on like spins in Euros. He had a bucket against the Nets. Driving a close out against Nick
Claxton in the left corner. He jabbed, got back to it deep in the corner with a hesitation drib will cross back over, got into the lane, pump, faked, pivoted over his right shoulder on his step through for a left handed finish. That's a really high level scoring move. He had one on Harden off the left wing, jabbed left, drove right, snatched back to the left, drove high gather
through zubach and finished at the basket. These are really high level scoring moves attacking with an advantage in those king of the court situations. He had a left to right euro against Zubatch a couple weeks ago where he drove out of the corner. Like left to right euro is one of the most complex footwork pieces you'll see for a right handed player. Most guys don't know how to do it, and he still has a ton of
growth in front of him. Shooting hot for a couple of months is not the same as being an elite shooter. We've all seen it. This guy's shooting forty three percent from three over his last whatever. Games. You gotta do it for a long stretch of time before teams game
plan for you in that way. That that will take a few years probably, but that will be what truly unlocks his off the dribble game, because I don't think like as good as he is in the open court as an athlete, he's his start stop quickness isn't quite as impressive as his athleticism in the open court, which is going to make it so it's a little harder for him to beat people off the dribble unless his jumper comes around, which again will take some time, but
that's part of his development. He still needs a lot of improvement on the defensive end too. His athleticism has not translated yet as like a really high level off ball defender. He's often a bit behind the play on his help rotations, which prevents him from having an impact. That's about processing speed. That's about like learning the actions so well that you know what's gonna happen as it's developing,
so that you can be there a step earlier. And again, as we talked about, his start stop quickness isn't as good. That's why that processing speed is going to be so important for him because he's gonna need to be there sooner in terms of the way he's reading these plays. But the bottom line is he's a rookie that projects to be one of the best people at his particular job in the NBA, which is being that weak side scoring forward, which is verying for Hawks fans. I think
it might officially be over for the Suns. They got absolutely smacked by the Rockets last night. Shane Gouon was cooking all their bigs again. Jalen Green poured in another thirty three points email Udoka in the second quarter brought out that zone defense that they that he's been using a bunch for the last month or so, and they immediately sparked a massive run in that second quarter and they never looked back. It was a complete and total
physical domination by Houston. They out rebounded them by six, They forced nineteen turnovers, They scored thirty four points off of those turnovers. They won the fast break points battle thirty two to eight. Houston scored forty points in transition in total in this game. But I want to focus on Phoenix here for a second, because we're gonna hit Houston in tonight's show as they play the Lakers again. We're going live on YouTube tonight after the T and
T slate. What did I say about Phoenix a month ago? I said they struck me as the stereotypical, older veteran team that knows deep down that they don't really have a chance to win anything this year. And the way that that's gonna manifest is in these short week or two long bursts where they compete and they look they look decent, they defend their rebound, they do their jobs, but that they inevitably let go of the rope because they can't sustain it, because they don't believe, and that's
exactly what just happened. They won five out of six, some quality wins versus the Calves and the Bucks. They were defending in rebounding top ten and both. I think they might have been top five in both over that span. But the NBA schedule does not let up. Boston came
to town without Tatum and kicked their ass. Then it was Minnesota, then it was Houston, a couple of these big, strong athletic teams that were going to truly test Phoenix's commitment to the work, and instead of hanging onto the rope, they just completely let go of it. One thirty seven point four defensive rating in the last three games, they gave an offensive rebound on thirty five percent of opponents misses.
That's damagingly bad. And now Katie has an ankle sprain, Anthony Davis is back, and the MAVs are climbing in the standings. We talked before the year that there was going to be a team that had dead serious championship aspirations but that would miss the playoffs entirely, and no matter who that would be, it would be a catastrophe. And it looks like it's going to be the Suns. I keep watching them and thinking that it's not a
Kevin Durant and Devin Booker problem. But at the same time, I do think it's worth mentioning that neither of those two guys can really leverage their physical gifts on the game. Katie has length and he has mobility that helps him on defense, but he carries a massive offensive load, so he can't devote too many resources to that end, and he's not very strong. He can be pushed around, which is very very dangerous quality for a front court player.
Defensively on the glass duck ins things along those lines. It's tough to do that job. Outside of like rangey rotating and rim contests. There's just a limitation when you can't win the ground battle. And again, it's just one of those things where you watch these other teams. It's like watching Houston Jalen Green can leverage his athleticism to
get to spots. Shane Gouon is bullying these dudes. When you watch these teams that have these players, where it's like, I can inflict myself physically on the game to assist my team in these key areas that they need help. Devin Booker and KD are not necessarily as capable. This is why I still believe it's worth exploring the idea of keeping those two. They still give you such a
high offensive floor in terms of shot quality. I would still just look to find every discount bruiser I can find at every position group and try to breed that culture around them, because regardless of what direction you go this summer, even if you do choose to get rid of Kevin Durant or Devin Booker or both, you still need an organizational identity. I talked about this concept after the Celtics win against the Suns last week. I talked about it with Colin Coward last night on his show.
You need an organizational identity that is separate from your stars. And so regardless of what direction you go, you need to begin the process of establishing that new owner, new coach. You need to start establishing a basketball culture. This season was a massive step back. And so that's the thing, like, unless you think there's some magical trade that's going to just solve all your problems, which I don't think there is, you need to begin the process of changing that culture anyway.
And so from that standpoint, if you tweak things enough around those two, that's where Kevin Durant, Devin Booker's upside can actually start to lift you to where you want to go. But this is a team that is completely let go of the rope, and I think I would be stunned at this point if we got to see them play meaningful basketball here in a couple of weeks. All right, guys, that is all I have for today, is I should say for this morning. We'll be back tonight live on live on YouTube after the T and
T games. There is always a sincerely appreciate you guys for supporting me and supporting the show, and I will see you later tonight. What's so guys? As always, I appreciate you for listening to and supporting OOPS tonight. They would actually be really helpful for us if you guys would take a second and leave a rating and a review. As always, I appreciate you guys supporting us, but if you could take a minute to do that, I'd really appreciate it. The volume
