They have a lot of injuries throughout the course of the season.

And the thing that really looks the worst is.

from a how is this group going to continue together standpoint, is that Evan Mobley and Jared Allen are pretty rarely on the court together in the most important moments.

A lot of staggering.

Fourth quarters during that first round playoff series against Orlando, which they won.

Fourth quarters in that series.

Fourth quarters during the ensuing series against Boston.

Really, even the second half of the season during the regular season, they're kind of choosing one or the other to close the game, more often Mobley.

Last year, Kenny Atkinson comes in as head coach, and they kind of iron out a lot of those issues.

And those guys play together and play together really well, and they close a lot of games together.

Guess what's happening right now?

Jared Allen is sitting for a lot of fourth quarters.

Yes, sir.

It's it's going back to that issue that they had before that.

I don't want to say it was solved, but it definitely was.

It was bogged way down the list of issues.

It's it's rising up again.

And it makes you wonder about the viability of this group long term together, because ultimately.

The greatest flaw a basketball team can have is if it can't reach its best when its best players are on the floor.

Yeah.
