Dan Woike

has its own issues too but like so i that doesn't seem like like no one but even in a fantasy like no it doesn't even seem like like a road like that's like healthily like worth walking down but you never know um yeah it's tough i mean i think like i think if if i was gonna preach optimism

which I've been doing nothing but for the last 20 plus minutes or so.

If I was going to preach optimism, I would point to that number that we had on, like that number we had on minutes, 85 minutes together.

I think they've had their roster, like their rotation,

they played two games this year.

Yeah.

As we add into January, 2026, someone has always been out now.

Availability in addition to motor, another skill, and they failed on this front.

They've not been available.

Um,

But, you know, they have not like the NBA is nothing if not highlighting your strengths, mitigating your weaknesses.

And they need they need Gabe Vincent.

They need Austin Reeves.

They need Rui Hachimura.

Like these guys all matter to them.

And when they're out there, they need LeBron James and they need Jackson Hayes.

And they need like they don't have a lot of room for error on this stuff.

particularly on the defensive end where they're going to have to be a team defense.

They have to be a team effort driven defense again to cover up some of Lucas weaknesses on that side of the court.

They're going to have to do it with continuity.
