And I think he just knew, get Jamal out of there.

Get Tim Hardaway out of there, who had a big ice wrap on his knee, by the way.

And I think he just threw the towel in extra early tonight.

And maybe the team went in knowing that that was the kind of night it would be.

Um, but there is one important note here from the basketball play.

And some of this is my perspective.

You know, whenever you go really short handed, there's a period before you have a scout on you where teams don't really know who you are and you can catch teams by surprise and do some stuff.

I think the scout is out that Denver's really small.

And that's really what's going on.

And tonight it was all about the rebounding or lack thereof.

And Denver was hopeless on the boards tonight.

It wasn't even, you know, a ball bounced the wrong way.

They were getting bullied all over.

And after the game, you know, David, David Adelman talked about it.

He said, I don't think it's Duran.

I asked him about Duran Holmes specifically.

He says, you know,

Right now, we're just undermanned, physically a little bit on the boards.

The last two nights has just been hell on the defensive boards.

Just as a team, we just got to keep talking about it.
