But wow, that's great.

Good to know.

Yeah, I was going to say we have, I think, a spring and summer full of drama ahead.

And I think, as Ben said, I think it can start Saturday night in New York.

So we got a fun couple of weeks coming, don't we, fellas?

Thanks guys.

Yeah, 100%.

But as Dave said, you do have to take into consideration, and it's a massive factor that they don't have their two lead ball and their two all-stars.

One guy that's in contention for being the best player in the league, even though I don't really believe that, but he's a top-five guy, no doubt about it.

And you also got to take into consideration that the way that Thunder were defending, completely taking away Kingun in whichever ways they could,

After that, they were also still getting more attention from Tariq and Tabari than they were getting from Dorian, Kenny, Chris, and Josh Akogi, right?

They weren't daring those guys to shoot, and those guys shocked, and those guys missed a lot, right?

Obviously, that's a strategy that they go to, knowing that they need a little bit of an outlier performance-wise from somewhere.

They need to add variants to this game because they're playing so short-handed.

And it kind of went as good as it possibly could offensively as far as those guys missing shots.

Those guys could not hit the broadside of a barn.

And to be honest, I think there will be a discussion at some point if playing Dorian Phoenix-Smith is still the go-to.

You know, moving on from that more negative part, I do think that this game is, you know, the latest in a series of games in which Jabari Smith Jr.

has played a lot better than people have been giving him credits for the entire season.

He had a six-game stretch where he played really poorly.
