It would be lovely if that pass was to someone with 12 seconds left on the shot. Right. Because then it isn't I have to shoot this. It is I could shoot it. And if it's not the best look that we have, let's get into another action. Maybe I dribble the ball uphill and it's into a handoff for Damian Lillard to get a shot because Damian Lillard's amazing.
Like there's just those levels aren't there in the Bucs offense anymore. And that's, to me, how you get to a spot where you have two spectacular individual seasons, you have spectacular three-point shooting, and you have an offense that still finds itself. I would have to look after tonight. I would guess maybe it went up a spot. It's probably 13th or 14th in offensive rating.

And that's just not good enough. It can't be when you have two generational offensive players on the same team.

Yeah, I mean, we get to have some fun. because the Bucs still have the Pacers one more time on Saturday. The Pistons and the Bucs play each other the final two games of the season. Both of their final games are against each other. So it's Bucs-Pistons for those two. And that's where we get to a spot where it's like, I could lay out everything for you right now and tomorrow it might be different.

The day after it might be different. But like, just know they are all in there and you've got to play some good basketball down the stretch. And for the Milwaukee Bucks, life is going to be pretty difficult over the next little while. They obviously, you can see me, I'm in Indianapolis right now. The Bucks head back to Milwaukee. They play the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. That's a break.

LeBron is out. Okay, that's cool. But then they have the Indiana Pacers on Saturday. That leads into a back-to-back against the Oklahoma City on Sunday. Then the Milwaukee Bucks go on a five-game Western Conference road trip. On that five-game Western Conference road trip, they get the Los Angeles Lakers, which is... Okay, LeBron will probably be out. That is nice-ish.

Not so nice-ish playing the Golden State Warriors. The Kings aren't the best team in the world, but they're going to be fighting for a playoff position. The Phoenix Suns also. fighting for a playoff position, fighting for a spot in the plan, and have Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. That's a tough one. And then, oh, by the way, you end the road trip at elevation against the Denver Nuggets.

That is a hellish... A hellish 10 or so games. And the Bucs are leading into that by losing three straight. So not exactly what you want to be doing. So while I would love to break down the full tiebreakers between four and six for you, Zena, I think the Bucs have much bigger problems than tiebreakers.
