Unfiltered access to game-strategy is rare. For the most part, what gets released from mic’d up segments typically ranges from inspirational huddles, such as Pelicans head coach Willie Green passionately encouraging his team to “freaking fight” headed into the fourth quarter against Phoenix, to some form of bland platitude. At best, T.J. McConnell has some good-natured fun at the expense of his former team; at worst, the viewing audience is treated to what sounds Joel Embiid makes while getting fouled or the eventual birth of narratives regarding the supposed overconfidence of Karl-Anthony Towns.
