Um, and then hope that OKC has a game where they, they don't make shots. Cause I think if OKC makes shots, like, they're winning. Like they're just going to win because they're that good.
My thing is, again, this OKC, I know I sound like I'm giving OKC a lot of credit, but like I think they deserve it because it's not just the players, but the way that they were, you know, constructed and how Dagnall makes decisions, which I've really loved his rotate.

But to your, to answer your question, I don't know that there is something specifically that just going to really cause the thunder issues because they can match it. You want to go small? We'll go small. We have the guys that can defend you on the perimeter and, And so I just struggle to figure, I understand Minnesota trying different things.

You know what I mean?
