| 0:00.0 | Alright, 15 and 60, let's see if we can actually make it through all 15 teams. |
| 0:04.4 | So we'll try to truncate things a little more. I always say that though at the beginning. |
| 0:08.4 | But joining us to start off with the Washington Wizards, |
| 0:12.3 | really interesting team for us to just have randomly decided we're going to give Liam |
| 0:16.4 | at the start of the week. And Liam, obviously their defense has been atrocious, |
| 0:21.8 | but can you break down into exactly why that's what we've seen from them so far? |
| 0:26.6 | Sure, let me just run through their numbers real quick. They're two in seven so far, |
| 0:30.8 | and they're 24th in offense and 26th in defense. So the problems are on both sides, |
| 0:35.4 | but the defensive problems, there's a bunch of them and some of them are going to get better |
| 0:38.9 | and some of them probably aren't. So what's stuck out to me is they blew more switches than |
| 0:43.2 | just about any other team I've seen. Just miscommunicating everything, leaving guys unmarked all the time. |
| 0:48.0 | They were late reacting, you know, closing out on shooters late. So you figured maybe that can |
| 0:52.6 | get a little bit better with some communication with some new pieces like Austin River's Jeff Green, |
| 0:56.8 | Dwight Howard, but you know, a lot of these guys have been, you know, with the team for a while. So |
| 1:00.4 | you'd think it would be a little bit better. And then another massive issue that they've had is |
| 1:03.6 | defensive rebounding, though, especially the lineups with Mark Keave Morphs at center. They've |
| 1:08.0 | been getting absolutely killed. They're the worst defensive rebounding team in the league, |
| 1:11.1 | and they're the worst since the 2008-2009 warriors and the cleaning the glass version of that's that. |
| 1:16.5 | And when Morphs is playing center opponents are getting 41% of their offensive, you know, |
| 1:20.6 | 41% offensive rebounding rate, which is just massive. And that's actually how they lost their |
| 1:24.5 | first game of the season is Kelly O'Linnick got a put back at the buzzer over a Mark Keave Morphs. |
| 1:29.2 | So that's a massive issue. And then transition defense, the numbers are actually okay in that area, |
