So without Aaron Gordon or Peyton Watson or Spencer Jones, it's a little bit, it's like that much easier to make like Yoke's life difficult in the paint, I think.

So there's there's all the different things that Aaron Gordon brings to the table that are it's not just, oh, this guy's good at basketball.

It's he's an essential ingredient to the staples of their offense and their offensive identity.

And so and honestly, defensively as well, when he's healthy, which I know sometimes we don't always see it.

So oftentimes when you're like, man, it just feels like a little bit of the special sauce is missing for this team right now, which I've seen so many people say, you know, online over the last couple of weeks.

I'd wager it's Aaron Gordon, and especially with not having him not having Peyton Watson as well.

You are missing key ingredients.

Been consistent month to month.

I think week to week.

I don't think there's been more, maybe two consecutive underwhelming performances from him all year.

You know, like if you see one, he comes back the next game and he's great.

You know, KC, he struggled and he missed open shots, which I honestly think that it was just a lot of it.

Like he, it was his role to knock down more than one of those eight threes and he didn't.

The Pistons game, he was so good.

And they lost, so it kind of went overlooked.

But that's the second best defense in basketball, trailing only a historically elite one.

And Murray had, you know, 30 and – was it 11 with no turnovers?

Or maybe it was more like eight.

I can't remember now.

But either way, he was spectacular.
