That's right. It could be instructive. And next thing would be a way to do that, right? It's just, OK, you're going to try to get Kat in the action, but now here comes Adam Obi from the weak side, and we're going to get Kat back down into the action. Those types of things, I wish we saw more. Maybe they'll start building some stuff in before the playoffs.

Um, not great. Uh, yeah, you know, I think, look, Nick's fans, I don't really know if they appreciated that. Like by the all-star break, it was pretty clear. We're going to face Boston in the second round. Like the gap between one and two and three and four remain pretty large.

Uh, it would take, it would take a pretty Epic collapse by the Knicks or someone on top of them, which isn't going to happen because Boston and Cleveland are too good. Like for, for that matchup to shift. And so I don't think they're ready to beat Boston in a series. I don't think they have the solutions to do that yet.

And to your point, they're all in, which makes it hard to digest a second round exit, which seems likely. Again, presuming they beat a Detroit or whoever ends up in the six, which let's hope they do. And I think they would, but that might be a tougher series than people realize. Yeah. I think you have to have the perspective of, okay, yes, they're all in, but they're all in in year one.

I do think that's an important caveat because it doesn't usually happen in year one. First year of developing their identity. First year of finding and starting to problem solve. They'll be able to build the roster a little bit around the edges as more picks come available, et cetera. I think it will take some time. Cleveland and Boston are awesome this season, and maybe this isn't the year.

Doesn't mean there's no hope for this team to find their contention window at some point in the next two, three years. I think they've built something that can last for a few years, and that's, I think, why they did it. And that might not bring any Knicks fans any comfort, but I do think it's an important perspective.
