And so that is my bet.

But the season isn't over, so we'll check back in at the end of the season and see what their final ranking is.

And part of it is that they have such a defined identity.

Yeah, totally.

Oh, this is the physical Pistons.

They're great defensively.

And I think because of that, because their identity is so well-defined, it's easier to think about them as a contender, like winning the whole thing.

But I still do think that half-court offense will be something really interesting to watch in the playoffs as teams get to see them night after night.

And it's a massive loss because the difference between potentially playing a team like Houston in the first round in a 3-6 matchup versus falling to the play-in and having...

To just get blasted by the Spurs.

And I think those types of matchups would make all of this a lot clearer.

Just how big the difference is between the Lakers right now and some of these top teams in the West.

Aiton has some huge series because Steven Adams isn't there.

That would be a very funny outcome.

My what this week is a stat about Concanipple, who I mentioned broke the rookie record for made three-pointers this week.

Yeah.

Breaking a record set by Keegan Murray during the 22-23 season.

I can remember covering that on Slammin' Jam a few years ago as it came down to the wire, seeing if he was going to do it.

He eventually broke Donovan Mitchell's record in the 80th game of the season.

He hit five threes in a game against Portland.
