Kentucky.

Kentucky.

I'd throw Duke in there.

So, yes, absolutely.

Forgetting about the fact that Miami is a smaller program compared to just regular powerhouse.

basketball programs but then when you talk about among the powerhouse basketball programs this is the elite of the elite of the elite the blue bloods this is the thing that you know money aside just recruits all name alone you can never pass up that job if you're at a miami or any other kind of smaller program like that unless you thought that the duke job would could be available but it doesn't seem that way with the job that john shire has been doing

That's not bad.

That's the point.

Right, that's what makes an elite defense.

Every season-long stat is built on the corpses of all the bad teams you beat up, right?

And so if we were to create the ultimate strength of schedule where the Heat only play the best teams all the time and never play the bad teams,

And he told me they're 15th as compared to everyone else's defense who get to play the bad teams.

Well, then that's pretty good.

No, but there's a reason why the Spurs have like the third best record in the league.

I don't think anyone is saying this is one of the best teams in the league.

We're just saying that, hey, being 15th against all the elite teams, not bad when that 15th comes in the context of everyone else's rating includes playing bad teams.

And so, you know, the idea here is you guys are like, oh, they're going to end up 9-10.

They're a game and a half behind five.

Minnesota went to Boston yesterday without Anthony Edwards, and they won.

I was like, there's no chance.
