you know what, screw it. We are going to compete every night. And let's say in the next 40 games, they rattle off 25 and 15. They could do that. Or they could just be like, you know what, we're good. Like, let's just keep getting through this. Let's stay healthy. Let's get the four seed. And then let's make our run in the playoffs.

Like it's, it's a really, I think a tougher decision than it may look like from the outside, because you do have to, Figure out how much you have in your stamina bar. How low is it getting? Do you need to have this much to get through the whole postseason? That could end up being, what, 40 games? An extra 40 games at the end of the year that you end up playing? It's tough. It's a lot.

It's tough to get to those 16 wins. I think it's easy.

I think they believe they are a championship team now. That is something that when you talk to Giannis, Dame, Chris, Brooke, Bobby, Doc Rivers, all of them say, we can compete with anyone. We have no doubts about that.

Even when they lost their eighth game against the top three teams in the East on Sunday, and I brought that stat up to Doc Rivers and said, hey, you're 0-8 against the top three teams. He just kind of laughed and said... You know, that's something you guys, like, write about. Or that's something Tim Bontemps is going on TV and he's going to talk about. Oh, you know, Evan won against whatever.

And he's like, but coach is a big athletic guy. Yeah, I know. Hey, I mean, he knew I was writing. So I guess bomb temps on TV. Like, I'll have to work on my TV presence. It's a good point, Dave. But just, like, the idea that, like, that matters more outside of their locker room than inside their locker room. So I think there's a high level of confidence inside the locker room.

But that doesn't mean they... think they're a complete product, that there isn't more that they could do, that they can try to find some more. And I think to your point, Dave, where it gets interesting is you look at that cap table. The Bucks have been in the luxury tax for years. They've been in the second apron for years.
