It does feel like, to your point, though, it does feel like the Clippers can sneak into that conversation, right?

And that's something that we did not consider for a team that started 6-21 to start the year.

You know what?

I think that's one of the best explanations for it, because Jamal Murray is a 90% free throw shooter.

Like there couldn't have been a better player on the Nuggets to go out and knock down free throws.

And he bricked both times.

And like a lot of Canadians will know Jamal Murray's dad used to shovel in the backyard so he could take free throws in the snow.

Like this is how serious he used to be about free throws when he was a kid.

And he bricks them in the biggest moment of the game.

I can't believe it.

Hunter, I have to ask you about the three point shooting, because if there's one area that I could poke at with this Pistons team is the three point shooting.

They were six of 31 tonight, shot 20% from three.

Uh, they don't take that many threes in general across the season.

They're 26 and attempts, uh,

Is it a matter of they have to find ways to generate more threes or that's just not something this team can do consistently?

It's a foregone conclusion that the Pistons will see zone.

Yeah, exactly.

I do wonder, though, because if you look at some of the other teams in the Eastern Conference and the teams that they might end up facing in the playoffs, obviously the Knicks, high volume, three point shooting team, very, very good three point shooting team, the Celtics.

Also, very good three-point shooting team.

The Sixers, good three-point shooting team.
