And I do like that idea because it still does worry me a little bit when you get to the playoffs how many of these guys we're actually going to be able to trust.
Yeah.
And maybe this turns everything around.
Maybe he becomes a staple of the rotation following this cup win.
Let's go.
For my good, I want to talk about the All-Star game because All-Star voting opened up this week.
I think we have one of the strongest crop of potential first-time All-Stars we've had in a long while.
Austin Reeves, Chet Holmgren, Jalen Johnson, Jalen Duren, Duren.
Danny Avdia, maybe Josh Giddey, since the Bulls decided to start winning some games this week.
But the one guy who I want to talk about, because I think it's finally going to happen, is Jamal Murray.
He has been on an absolute undeniable heater.
Listen to this line.
25 points per game, four rebounds, 6.6 assists, shooting 50-46-89 for the season.
Everywhere you look, he is averaging a career high.
Points, rebounds, assists, three-point volume, three-point percentage, two-point percentage, free throw volume, all of those at career highs.
At age 28, Jamal Murray has, in my opinion, finally reached undeniable All-Star level where I don't even need to make a list of West All-Stars to know that he should and will be in the game playing at his current level.
And he had a massive week.
He scored 35 in that super fun Nuggets-Rockets overtime game.
Also, those teams are playing again today on Saturday.
The first two games were two of the best games of the season, so excited for that.
