One more thing. Double Biggs lineup at the end of the game was an answer against the Denver Nuggets. But no one is convinced it's the answer long term. Today's lockdown apps, one more thing. I'm not a doctor, so... That's it. It's me versus the machine. They're good. I don't know. Soughton up change. Nice penetrating thrust to the middle. Hot man, the hot player.

It's the one more thing, a bonus episode of Lockdown Maps.

We've missed the episode slightly an eye breaking down the Mavs against the Nuggets. Go listen to that show. Fun stuff. Isaac makes a weird cameo. He had technical issues. But today, I want to talk about the double Biggs lineup because Jason K. made a comment about it that we haven't talked about before the Pelicans game. And I want to get into that. Also, I'll just, I'll share all the Cooper Flag stats that are flying around because there's enough of them and it's super fun. But let's start here. Before the Mabbs Pelicans game, Jason Kidd had this quote and I had it written down to do some kind of one more thing or something on it, and I just didn't end up doing it. Then Jason Kidd goes to the double bigs again in the Nuggets game, and we'll break all that down. But here's the quote he said before the Pelicans game. Adie's playing great. He's helping us win games. He's helping us be in position to win games.

He's playing at the five right now. And at some point here down the road, I think we'll get him

back to the four. Of course, that raises everybody's eyebrows, right?

I have to apologize that you felt that he should have played more.

At the five, then at the four, because I think everybody is seeing what I'm seeing, and I'm seeing that Anthony Davis, because lively's been out, Gafford's been in and out of the lineup. Musa, C-Saysay has not played a lot, he's on a two-way. Dwight Powell's is, you know, not an answer for Jason Kidd, apparently. And with the lineup the way that it is, the rotation is the way that it is, Anthony Davis has to play the five. And the Mabs have had a good answer with Anthony Davis at the five. They have been a better lineup with Anthony Davis at the five. We've seen it. They've had these good wins. And so then a quote like this where he's like, well, we got to get him back to the four at some point. She just raises some eyebrows where you go, wait, hold on. What do you mean by that? So Christian Clark of the Atlantic asked about this before the Nuggets game because we saw the double bigs against the pelicans and it was terrible. It was awful. It did not work at all. Offensively, defensively, nothing. And so Christian Clark asked Jason Kidd about it. And he kind of beat around the bush a little bit. But then he said, I just said we could look at it, just giving more options that we have to give Gaff a bit more time on the floor. How we're built right now, we have to play AD the 5. And then Jason Kidd actually went on and said that it didn't work on offense or defense against the Pelicans.

And so I took that and said, all right, well, we probably won't see the double bigs anymore.

But then we see it against the, we get the nuggets late.

And Jason Kidd was asked about it.

And he just said, yeah, you know, they went, they had their double bigs out there.

We went with their double bigs. And that was true to start with for like two or three minutes or so yokech and yonis

valtunas were out there together and so gafford with about five 10 you know about five minutes to go

and the game checks in and i want to walk through the reasons why this worked.

And some of the things that happened in this last five minutes

that make me think that this double pigs is not an answer long term

or even any kind of term, really.

It's like a situational line of the maps can throw out there

every once in a while.

But Jonas Valchunas checked out

like Jonas Valchutus checked out at a certain point
