Dan Woike

I think toughness and physicality are skills.

And that is not currently the MO of this roster.

A lot of the guys that provided that for them last year are elsewhere.

Jordan Goodwin's in Phoenix.

Dorian Finney-Smith just made his season debut in Houston.

Trey Jemison is on a two-way somewhere else.

These were the guys that were like, I mean, JJ Reddick called them last year the Banshees.

Right.

And they were not only was like, not only did they play with energy, but it was infectious energy to others.

Marcus Smart was supposed to fix that, Dan.

He's one person.

He has been in and out of the lineup.

He's been totally in and out of the lineup.

And then, like, I also just like for whatever reason, I don't know why that energy isn't quite as infectious.

It just isn't.

It hasn't like it hasn't been like it has been at times, but not consistently.

Right.

It hasn't been a consistent like I'm going to play, you know, tough as bleep like today.

And then you're all going to do it, too, because if you don't, you're going to look silly.

It's not been like that.
