00:00The part that I think people miss is, at the end of that game, they only needed a two to win.
00:06You didn't need a three. You only needed a two.
00:09And yet, the lineup you have out there is, it's White, it's Brown, it's Simons, it's Pritchard, it's Hauser.
00:16How many of those guys are efficient or effective screen setters?
00:21I would say zero.
00:22I was going to say zero.
00:24Great question. None of them.
00:25None of them.
00:26And that's why, and how many of those guys are really rim-running threats?
00:32You know, I'd say maybe Brown, but that wasn't the way the play was designed.
00:35And Derek White confirmed to us after the game the play was designed for Jalen Brown.
00:40But it doesn't look like it was designed for him to go to the rim.
00:42So now if I'm Philadelphia, I don't have to worry about being screened by a big guy.
00:47I don't have to worry about that big guy screening me and then rolling to the rim for the game-winning basket.
00:52I have a bunch of wings and little guys out there.
00:55And I think that was part of the problem.
00:57And I don't even blame Missoula for it because once Kata fouled out, I just don't think there was anybody else he really trusted.
01:05And I heard you talk about this, Felger.
01:06That Xavier Tillman miss of a Jalen Brown miss, and that was a very makeable shot for Jalen Brown.
01:12So, you know, look, I know that I stand for Jalen Brown all the time, but I'll say, you want to be the guy?
01:19You know, that's a shot hopefully you're going to make.
01:21But then Xavier Tillman misses that fall.
01:22I think that rattled Joe's confidence, and that's one of the reasons that lineup he sent out there,
01:27which was a lineup they had used at the end when they were down by four or down by three.
01:32But then Edgecombe misses the two free throws.
01:35You only need a basket.
01:36You don't need a three.
01:37You don't even need a jumper.
01:39You just need one two-point basket.
01:41But there's no big out there because there's no one he really trusted to be out there.
