Been playing like a top five, you know, top eight, whatever we want to, wherever we want to set that line of delineation, but he's been playing out of his mind for especially his age. But the defensive end, This guy has been pretty incredible. And this is another game where LeBron steps up defensively.
I mean, in lieu of a really strong defensive big man, LeBron James is doing a more than credible job.

One aspect is Luca. Yeah, go ahead. I was going to say, well, this is a fourth straight game. They've held their opponent to 102 points or less. That's right. Yeah, that's pretty good.

Well, and Wuka's defense, by the way, we should point that out. I mean, there were times where his defense, I thought, on Kyrie Irving was excellent, even chasing him out like 30 feet from the basket and contesting all the way to the rim. I mean, this is what it's going to take, I think, for the Lakers if they're going to try to contend. They did not solve their problem in the middle.

But they do have defenders, and I think that J.J. Redick deserves a lot of credit for the way that he has set the rotation up. You mentioned LeBron being able to step up a little bit more because of Luka. But also look at the way that he's staggering these lineups so that when Luka sits and it's LeBron out there, they've got a little bit more of a defensive presence to make up for that.

So I'm not one of these people that's saying that J.J. Redick is coach of the year or anything like that. But I will say that I think that he's done a pretty good job of integrating Luka into Luka. What the, you know, the existing structure of this team and making the most of it.

I mean, Luca just getting more and more healthy, I think is going to be the most important thing for the offensive side of this. And let's not forget that Austin Reeves has benefited greatly, not, not only from this, but just this season in general and has sort of taken a leap. Feels so comfortable. He looks 100%. I think JJ Redick plays a part of that too.

Yeah, he's a good tertiary, secondary playmaker, but also can run your offense too. Okay, well, there was some more stuff last night. The Cleveland Cavaliers, 48-10 now. They just crushed the Orlando Magic. They beat them by 40, which we talked to us for weeks about how well the Magic were holding up when they were missing Paolo, how well they were holding up when they were missing Franz Wagner.
