You can't say enough about how they built the team.

The Josh Hart trade just sort of sneaks under the radar all the time is like how they got Josh Hart.

And then, you know, Brunson taking less money to facilitate everything, just everything clicked into place.

And even a guy like Shamit who couldn't miss for six weeks, basically just scrap heap guy.

And I think like, again, this is a, this is a historical thing, but this is up your alley.

I tried to find a comp for them in terms of like,

You probably saw this on Instagram.

They were a very good regular season team.

53 wins.

That's low for a champion.

And then to go from that to... I'm looking at the finals number now.

16-3 with a net rating of plus 15.4.

I mean, that's... I think the greatest net rating in the history of the playoffs for a championship team.

It's up there with like... It's above...

not win-loss-wise, but it's 17 Warriors, it's 96 Bulls.

It's all the greatest teams ever are the only ones that are in that universe of so few losses and such a big point differential.

They just turned into an absolute bulldozer.

And what I don't want to hear, and I've seen a little bit of this as well, they didn't have to play Boston, they didn't have to play Oklahoma City.

Stop.

That happens every year.
