It starts with Kawai Leonard in a very specific offensive weapon.

What is it that that right there 55% of long twos playoff defense's have an answer for everything.

So you gotta have an answer that they don't have an answer for.

And that's that.

That's that weapon right there.

While under intruding what many people believe is the worst shouted Basketball has suddenly become one of the key offensive components of this series.

And then let's talk about Toronto's offense.

We know the Warriors are gonna throw a bunch of different bodies at Kawai, which wrapped her teammates is going to have to step up for him to.

Kyle Lowry just can't have any more of these games where he plays hot potato with the ball.

He needs to get aggressive, and every time he has a big man on, he's got to go into like, Swagger, like he's gonna bring it every single game as a scorer.

For them to have a chance.

It's look, it has been so questionable for him and his postseason past.

Great in the conference finals.

I'm company's gonna get serious.

Let's see what he's able to do again.

The Finals will begin tonight, the Warriors appearing in their fifth straight, eh?

NBA Finals.

And everyone knows their strength on offense is how they got here.

But why their offense is so successful is more complex.

That creativity using pick and rolls has been the key.

And let's take a look at a big number or a few of them.

Actually, the Warriors had their way using on ball screens against Portland in the Western Conference finals.

They ran 116 direct picks, only 13 of which used the Blazers and the Blazers using defensive switch.

So these are a lot of words and a lot of numbers that sometimes I worry fans don't fully understand.

But Jay Williams is here to solve that problem.

Give us a look at what we're talking about.

Toronto switches three times more than what Portland did, but to understand how Portland scored here, look at the action that you're going to see this team run Draymond going to slip the screen, actually come to the weak side.

Here, you see, Kevon looney Complicit screen And I want you to watch Zach Collins in this particular situation here.

His reaction time is very late.

Okay, so you're seeing action Jack Collins late and also Rodney Hood going over the top of the screen.

You're not gonna see Toronto do that.

And as you watch, you're going to see here is the plate fans out.

Look at the hands of Leonard.

Loves that Collins down, right?

Not up Stephon Curry.

You allowed him to see the room like that?

Buckets Right now, as we watch with Toronto, here's a beautiful thing about Toronto.

Let's focus.

I'm gonna go back just a little bit.

Greeny.

Beautiful thing about Toronto.

Serge Kawai.

Pascal seaq.

Um, all these guys 73 wingspan.

Sorry.

Yeah, 73 weeks, men.

Okay, so look, Look at the versatility defensively of the pieces here.

One switch right when the ball comes up again.

Now, look, that was beautiful.

We just missed it by one second switch.

Boom!

You're gonna see Hands up.

Bypass Kelsey, Outcome 73 wingspan.

Okay, as a plate comes again.

Another switch.

Pastel.

Seaq.

Um right there.

Blitzes the squid doesn't allow him that any space to dance a dribble The ball for Tobias Harris comes up again.

Now Tobias Harris is able to get into the lane.

He gets into the lane, kicks it out again.

Danny Green once again, bigger defender winks man to recover.

Gets out there.

I don't know what kind of help might Scott, what kind of shot?

That was What?

Still, as the play develops, they even get the offensive rebound colorings still down their dicks or the ball.

Those versatility of peace is their ability to switch is what's gonna be the difference in this ballgame because you're not gonna have two bigs trying to guard out and you're not gonna go over screens.

They're going to switch everything.

They have a lot of really good defenders.

RJ jumping here.

I can see you want to make a comment here.

What are your thoughts on what Jay was just describing for us?

All of that ball movement is great.

The issue is the gold.

State warriors have two people that can dance and pop up shots like no one else in the MBA can.

And so, yes, the length will help Yes, the switching will help in just from experience.

There is still something that needs to be done to their body, right?

Like you showed all this length, hands up all the different things that can happen there.

But you're still going against a very different monster in the Golden State Warriors shooting and the Golden State movement will be far better than Toronto has seen.

I think it's gonna be a great defense of battle versus the best offensive team.

All I'm saying is that Portland's defense is horrific, and we saw Terry Stotts multiple times in his candor would sit down at the bottom of the line.

And when their bigs we played two bigs, we come up your hands down, they can shoot.

That's not gonna be the way Toronto place, and that's all in the half court.

That's obviously significant.

And I think the key for Toronto was to keep us 1/2 court.

Siri's right, cause he looked golden.
