And my stat is about the Houston Rockets. And currently the Rockets, who are the second seed, In this Western Conference, a mile with all these teams bundled up, they have the seventh best odds in the West currently to win the West, plus 2,200. It's absurd. It's absurd to me. Because I've been one of these people who have doubted the Houston Rockets all season.

Oh, yes, they're having a very nice season. But am I really going to take them seriously in the playoffs? I think depending on who they match up with, they could be an underdog in their first round series, that 2-7 matchup. And one of the things that people don't like about the Rockets or that gives them pause is their offense.

Which, you know, for the season 11th, if you look at their offensive rating by month, 9th, 21st, 13th, 8th, 24th and then 7th. But what I think is really interesting and is my stat of the season is that against teams with a top 10 point differential, the best teams in the league. The Rockets are fifth overall in offensive efficiency. Wow.

So when they've played the best teams in the league, their offense has stepped up and they've been one of these teams that has absolutely like played up to their competition. You know, sometimes when you see a team like this who goes on a nice run and kind of has a surprise. Oh, my gosh, it's a surprise to seed.

Oftentimes it can be because they're just beating up on all the bad teams and they're just OK against the good teams. That's not really the case with Houston. They've actually been very good against the good teams in the league. In fact, they have the second best record in the West against teams that are 500 or better.

So I think it's at least, you know, as we as we get these matchups, at least worth considering, are we underrating the Rockets a little bit, at least in maybe these first two rounds? So that is my stat of the season award. Even just round one. Yeah, just round one.

A free bonus stat, Andrew, because it's one I found this week that I thought was funny. We talked about how, you know, games that were decided by three points or less. OKC's only had five of those games this entire season. So I went back and I expanded it to five points. Just a game that ended within five points. Yeah, they've had six of those games. So you have one more game.
