And if you look at their top six guys, really their top seven guys these days, if you include Scottie Pippen Jr., every single one of them have only known one coach, and that's Taylor Jenkins. Except for Triple J, his first year he had J.B. Bickerstaff. Everybody else, only Taylor Jenkins. So you kind of get the feeling of when, hey, this might turn around.

Maybe they'll turn it up right before the playoffs. And when you think about, you know, John Morant reportedly not being in love with the offense and seeing how they've fallen off the last couple of weeks or a few weeks, especially defensively, which is the place where you look at mostly where guys are getting coached up. It's when you look at it, it kind of doesn't seem so crazy.

Like you're going to an assistant coach that might have a different version of the offense you're already running. And maybe it'll be the best. Maybe it'll be the honeymoon period during the playoffs. And, and you, you know, you get the best of this team because it didn't seem like they were going to go much further than they'd already gone with Taylor Jenkins.

But that also helps out with the timeline, though. I mean, right? Sort of explaining it, right? Because it's like, hey, here's your chance. We need to know what this is going to look like. And as they got further into the season, looked worse and worse. Like, I don't know from the outside looking in, I don't know necessarily who was a Taylor Jenkins guy and who wasn't.

But just based on the quotes, seemed like Jaron Jackson Jr. was definitely one. But John Moran certainly was not. Seemed like he got out of bed. He said he was in bed. Saw the quote. Huh. Surprised me. That's pretty much what the extent of his quote. Not, hey, I really love that guy.

Let me say this, though. Whoever came up with the offense, I believe it was one of the coaches he was fired with just now. He came up with it as a model after a Division III school. Listen, man, if you're telling me if I'm an NBA front office decision maker and you are telling me you're going to devise an offense based on something that you saw with Division III something or other,

no thank you man i i don't want any of that not only do i not think it's going to work but you're going to tell your players that and they're going to be like why why do we need some division three gimmicky offense and just to answer your last question there in terms of like what does it mean like if they get the best out of their team with this new assistant code or with this new coach what's that going to mean is that going to mean title contention not necessarily but if they make a western conference finals

If they go to a game seven in a second round, as opposed to flaming out in the first round, which a lot of people assume they might have done under Taylor Jenkins, that's enough confirmation for them that they made the right move. I'm not saying that that's what's going to happen, but this isn't one of those championship or bust type of scenarios.

It's let's just see in these playoffs, because we know what it looked like under Taylor. Let's see what it looks like with this guy.

Well, and the other thing is, is like the the idea. You're right. The idea of that offense was they weren't running as many pick and rolls, even though like somebody like Zach Eady drafted number nine. He says out loud, hey, I love pick and roll offense and they do less of it. Right.

And, you know, the idea is that they draft him so they can punish small ball teams instead of just take them out and do the traditional thing. It doesn't seem like they were aligned on a lot of things. And so I wonder if it was something of, you know, they were just waiting for this opportunity, right? Because they've been, you know, they've been up and down all season long.
