00:00Kee injury is certainly going to play a part in how these finals wind up and also let's keep in mind here
00:04Look at Don chitch getting shots injected into his knee just to be able to play
00:08He's been hampered by this knee injury for quite some time at least through this playoff run
00:13Looking at the information that we're getting now where he's actively getting shots and we anticipate another shot coming tonight before game number three
00:19Does that impact your handicap at all from a Mavericks perspective coach?
00:24Not much because I think it goes hand in hand
00:26I think you shoot up you shoot him up. You haven't played through the pain or numb it up
00:30But I don't know on the flip side when you look at something like this. It goes back to the poor Zingas factor
00:36You have now a situation
00:39Where you know if you are Joe Mazzola, right?
00:43What poor thing is that at the front of the rim?
00:45You're gonna get up in the Luca and Kyrie space right because you want to funnel him to the basket
00:50Well now if you don't have that rib protector that changes your defensive outlook
00:56Maybe now you can't give him a little bit more space to allow him to shoot because now if you get up on him
01:02He's gonna punch the gap. I think it opens up a lot of different things for Luca
01:07Maybe you know the over three and a half made threes and minus 170 is just way too much for me
01:12Maybe something see if he starts out the game slow
01:15See if you get the juice to drop a little bit and then jump in endgame. I think about Boston
01:19I may have to give him a little bit more space which could open up the three-point shot for him tonight
