Sure. Sure. But it's still like Draymond sat out game five. He still played game six and seven. That's the point. Like, there's look, trust me, I've done I've done the whole like, look, Bogut got hurt. Steph was compromised from the injury earlier that like, Harrison Barnes couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. I've done all that.

And Kevin Love had to have one of the greatest defensive stances of his entire career happen in the most clutch moment. Steve Kerr had to play the only three guys on his whole rotation who are negative plus minus all in the fourth quarter. There's a lot of things that led up to them losing that series. That's kind of how upsets work.

It's not, hey, we played perfect, and they still beat our ass, right? It's like this chain reaction, like how the Death Star blew up. It's like there's something that happened, that happened, that happened, and the next year we go, this unstoppable force fell. So, yeah, I would say Warriors losing to the Cavs is one. Two would be Lakers losing to the Pistons, and this would be three for me.

Again, I think the injuries certainly color how that thing went. But you're right, Mike. Durant gets hurt. But, like, Klay's healthy. The momentum is still in Toronto's favor, even though the Warriors had done very well without Durant in those playoffs. He got hurt in the second round, I want to say. They blitzed the Rockets. They sweep the Blazers in the conference finals.

And then they get to the finals, and, you know, it was... First two games kind of here and there, and then like the Durant injury happens and it starts to fall away. I think Kawhi Leonard obviously changes that math. Like we had such immense respect for him as a champion. And then Nick Nurse had kind of solidified himself as one of the great coaches in the league.

Yeah, I guess it's an upset, but it didn't feel as shocking as some of the other ones that we're talking about.

I thought J-Dub played well last night. I mean, obviously, he didn't shoot it great, but he played all right last night. Chet's the one that's like, that can't happen. You have to win your matchup, and that's not a slight on Miles Turner, who absolutely won the matchup, had big plays, big blocks, big shots, that bank shot on the side that was crazy. Did he call that? You were there.
