Es Baraheni

So I know he can get to that level.

It's just about doing it consistently.

And also like,

shot selection is always going to do a thing with Mather.

And so once he was starting to feel it in this game, you could see he was forcing it a little bit too much, but they needed it.

And I thought he was awesome.

He got it in multiple different ways, whether it was getting to the free throw line.

Once Garland comes back, man, I don't know.

The Clippers might be cooking with something, but who knows?

We'll see.

It's hard.

Like, how much do I take into consideration that this is the 24th best or, if you will, worst defense this season?

Like, this is a team that's supposed to contend for a championship.

It's basically unheard of for a team with that poor of a defense to win a championship.

Yeah.

Like there are maybe a few examples in NBA history.

So how much are you going to take that for the injuries or is it going to be, I don't know, something that they can work in as the season progresses, you know?

Yeah.

And especially you're not going to win that many games when Brandon Miller is five to 22 and the ball is five to 14.

Like the shooting was tough here for them.
