If you go back and listen to me talk about Mike Brown's firing a season ago, you'll hear me speak in unequivocal terms that it was bullshit because this is an organization that is steeped in losing, that had not been to the playoffs in three collective bargaining agreements until Mike Brown came around.

You talk about De'Aaron Fox.

He's a player who, again, his entire experience in the NBA prior to this season is two seasons of being above 500.

So we talk about a veteran, a veteran who was, again, steeped in losing.

All he played was losing basketball.

He was surrounded by losing basketball.

Mike Brown came around.

I remember saying this, like, wow, they're a lot better defensively.

He's a lot better defensively.

De'Aaron Fox was like, no, I've been playing the same exact way.

I'm like, bullshit you have.

You haven't.

You're clearly exerting effort on this side of the ball.

You've been playing a lot faster on the other side of the ball, like moving the ball, not letting it stick to you.

But this is a guy who thinks, yeah, what's the big deal?

And so you see him make that mistake.

And Zaz, I would argue the shocking part is not the mistake he made at the end of game four.

The shocking part is afterwards he tried to defend it.

It was nuts.

He's like, oh, I was trying to go up three.
