He had a rough game, you know, where were we?

Yeah.

Right.

So, like, I mean, they're going to play good teams quickly.

Right.

And there are some matchups that are better than others.

Right.

They control their destiny for the three seat in the West, just like they did a year ago.

You know, like, they were a good basketball team last year, too.

And that was with a not as engaged, not as physically capable Luka Doncic.
