TRADE PAUL GEORGE

“Pritchard, who's in the running for weirdest career of the decade, where he plays four solid years, where I I don't even think he averaged eight points a game, maybe, like, eight and a half. He wanted to be traded. Remember? Yeah. So just And I I gotta say, they a lot of the Celtic fans were like, this guy's good. When this guy plays, he's gonna be good if he can ever get a chance.”

“thing number one was they actually made Luke Kennard play defense and didn't let him just hang out. I I know. It took four games. Unbelievable. They didn't let him hang out off the ball all the time. Ahmed Thompson attacked him, and they just, like he was on Tar Hees, and Tar Hees even just blew by him at one point. They just gave Tar Hees in the ball. Jabari Smith hunted him in a switch, and this has kinda been fun. Without KD, it's been fun to watch guys like Jabari Smith junior get to do a little bit more and really stretch their wings.”

“Gobert, with a great team of defenders around him, has taken Jokic totally out of the out of his rhythm, totally out of his usual game. And the way I was looking at the tracking data over the weekend, now this is before game four, and I because I was curious having watched game three. His post ups are down. Like, he just doesn't want a post up against Gobert. They they like, every minute that he's out there with Naz Reed or Julius Randle on him, they should be going to him in the post, and yet they weren't.”

“he he he was pretty high in my pyramid at one point, and he's been going backwards over the last couple years, basically, based on how this decade has gone and some of the things that have happened with this team. Because sometimes with the pyramid, you're projecting, oh, it's gonna keep going a certain way, and then you kinda go underneath where you thought, and then you have to reevaluate. He has definitely dropped backward.”

“I saw Embiid on the court. And and as a Celtic fan, I was like, oh my god. This is great. I was excited that he was playing. Wow. No reflection on Embiid as a player. I just think to introduce him into the series halfway through when he hasn't played, when he's rusty, combined with how good I thought the sixers played on Friday night. And I really thought they found something with the smaller lineups and the defensive identity they had.”

“Can I have Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson join him? Let's go full Expendables. Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson to Golden State, Butler's expiring to Houston. We'll throw Quinn Capela and whatever else makes the small sellers make it work to Dallas. Maybe they get a second round pick. K. Maybe Houston gets something. And we end up with She gets something. Yeah. Something.”

“I'm not really positive where we're gonna go with him because when he hits the three pointer, he basically has every single offensive weapon you you need. He can he can do stutter step, get into the lane, Brunson style. He can just get to the rim. He can play with somebody on his body. He can step back and hit threes. And and then he can also kick back out to people with really, like, precise passes already.”

“For the season, they were first in m b in, offense. One twenty one point three for by possessions. 100 possessions. Their offense is one zero five point three in the playoffs. Their last in three point shooting in the playoffs, their sixteenth shooting 28.5. Their 40% field goal, fifteenth. They're not really turning the all over. They're second best in turnovers, and they're first to get in the line.”
