I think that's the key thing to remember here.

I'm going to call myself and perhaps some fellow media members out here.

In these press conferences earlier in the year, you may keep saying, when we're at full strength, when we have Tari, when we have Dorian, we're going to feel and look a lot better.

And I kind of roll my eyes at that and say, how many times can you kind of go to that well?

I kind of think he's right.

I kind of think that when you have the full complement of wings, like we said, and especially when Dorian is more fully mobile, closer to 90% of mobility, he's a really, really strong top-line defender.

So is Tari Eason.

So is Amin Thompson.

That's like the vision of this roster that we've seen in full.

And Ben, you make a good point that the Rockets have this vision.

They are not going to derail the vision because of a bad January.

In fact, Rafael Son kind of laughed at us when we brought up the idea of one bad month determining the season, right?

So the Rockets had a vision to get DFS to have these wings.

Tonight, we saw it come to fruition.

So shout out to them.

You know, it's fair enough.

Yeah, they have a schedule that I think is around maybe number 25 per Tankathon rest of the season.

It's a pretty easy stretch with, as you said, Jazz Kings, Magic Miami, and The Wiz coming up, so that's not tough.

I want to mention that Knicks game real quick, because I think that's fun for one particular reason.

They got to face Kat and Mitch in New York on Saturday.
