| 0:33.3 | The volume. |
| 0:47.6 | All right, welcome to Hoops Tonight here at the volume. Happy Wednesday, everybody. Happy NBA finals to Eve. |
| 0:52.4 | Coverage of the NBA finals here at Hoops Tonight is brought to you by Chase Freedom Unlimited. |
| 0:56.2 | How do you cash back? We're going to prime for game one, but bringing on the guys from NerdSesh, Logan and Carson. |
| 1:02.5 | I'm going to come on. I have a lot of interesting stuff that I dug up during my NBA finals preview on Tuesday morning. |
| 1:09.8 | And so we've got four questions from this series that we're going to dive into. |
| 1:13.6 | I'm going to start with the biggest problem. |
| 1:17.3 | Is there any chance that Miami can slow down Nicola Yokitsch? |
| 1:20.8 | Before I tee this one up, we'll start with Logan. Before I tee this one up for you, I have a crazy stat. |
| 1:27.7 | So in my film study, Perth's energy, the Denver Nuggets posted up the Miami Heat 30 times in their two games this season, |
| 1:40.9 | and scored an astonishing 47 points on those 30 post ups, which is over a point and a half per possession. |
| 1:47.1 | It wasn't just Yokitsch. There's a lot of Aaron Gordon, Beaton Switches as well, a little bit of Jamal Murray. |
| 1:53.4 | But the reality is, is it's a Yokitsch problem because even when I was watching him spam Aaron Gordon post ups on Kyle Lowry, |
| 1:59.8 | he was a lot of Nicola Yokitsch identifying the mismatch, placing the off-ball players where he wanted them and making that post entry pass from the left wing. |
| 2:09.2 | So my question, both of you guys will start with Logan. Is there any chance that Miami can slow down the attack of the Denver Nuggets and Nicola Yokitsch? |
| 2:19.1 | Yeah, you know, we answered this question on a nerd session. I think if Eric Spolster or Jimmy Butler can find like a rabbit foot or a four leaf clover, maybe, |
| 2:28.4 | maybe they go on rub as many old lamps as they can and can get a genie to pop out with some wishes. I think they can get it done. |
