Evan Mobley made All-NBA last year, was Defensive Player of the Year.

And they have had to accept the reality that they can't build on Mobley's timeline anymore.

They have to build on Donovan Mitchell's timeline.

So that decision was a huge, gigantic decision.

And so that's why you end up trading and committing to a future contract with a 37-year-old instead of keeping the 26-year-old Darius Garland.

OK, so all of those things are going on there.

But, you know, here's the thing that I say about James.

You know, he's played like in 17 different playoffs.

So he's got like I was able to generate statistics on everything that he is.

All these games where he's been in game five in a 2-2 series.

That's actually happened 13 times in his career.

There's a whole data set on just how James Harden performs in Game 5 when it's 2-2.

By the way, it wasn't very good.

That was a better-than-average performance yesterday, even though he turned the ball over a lot.

So now we go to the data set.

What's James Harden's profile in 3-2 series where his team is leading?

I was at one two years ago.

They were up 3-2 against the –

against the Celtics when he was in Philadelphia.

It didn't go well.
