I just, you know, you, you have all these questions in your head.

How does James Harden fit this team?

Does he defend well enough?

I'm not sure about that, but the last few minutes where he and Donovan were able to play, do some two man stuff on the side of the court where the defense was so locked in on Donovan Mitchell, James Harden was taking wide open threes.

That does not happen very often.

Yeah, I mean, listen, the fit is kind of perfect.

And Jared Allen is a very good short roll passer.

So like this is not just a situation where the rest of the offense is just standing around watching these guys.

Then you get some shooters in the corners.

Obviously, Donovan Mitchell is going to be able to play against the bent defense a lot.

So, yeah, I don't know.

I mean, I think the Cavs, you just worry about the.

Harden playoff flame out that we all know is going to happen.

You know, he might be good for three or four games out of seven, but you know, you've got Donovan Mitchell, I guess for the rest of those, we're going to figure it out.

Also, we got to talk about Jaron Jackson in Utah and, and Zena, look, you watch this game for the first three quarters.

You probably think, wow, Utah, they're going to be too good to tank, but you'd be selling these guys short because we saw one of the most egregious,

And borderline genius, if it wasn't just so in our face, tank jobs from the Utah Jazz.

They had a 17-point lead on the Orlando Magic.

Lowry Markkinen, Jaron Jackson, and Yusuf Nurkic.

all sat the entire fourth quarter and coach Will Hardy didn't call a single timeout as his team just fumbled away the game.
