They have to do it with like being on a string and like that type of an effort and like basketball wise this year, like they're strangers still.

They really are.

And so, yeah, I mean, if I was being optimistic, I would say, wait till March, maybe, maybe the luck changes.

Maybe the injury luck changes.

And like, you know, um, Austin Reeves comes back at the end of January and, you know, you built some good momentum going into also break.

You've built yourself a decent enough push in here.

Like it's crazy.

Um, you know, they end the year 20 and 11, um,

it sure as hell doesn't feel like it, but there are nine games over 500, right?

They have some room to work with on this stuff.

Like they built themselves a really good buffer.

Yeah.

It's true.

Gear act together.

And like, you know, you don't, the goal isn't to be playing your best basketball now.

you know and so that that would be the optimistic view the pessimistic view would be like just that there just hasn't even been like even when we've seen seven eighths of the rotation or eight nines or whatever like there just hasn't been a lot of evidence defensively at least right that like you know they contain the basketball

And if you can't contain the basketball, particularly with the best teams in this league right now, it's just really hard to win.
