But the offensive rating of the team with those three guys on the floor is not very good, as good as the respective two-man games, particularly the Murphy-Queen two-man game can look.

It just feels like they're caught between...

eras and identities.

And really that Zion is, is the sort of thing that's anchoring them to something like, all right, this guy was the guy, like he still can be the guy sometimes, but we also kind of want to move on to this kind of system.

And it just, I watched them play.

I'm like, what man, they just need to get through this goddamn season.

There's also just like a really preposterous amount of Sadiq Bey going on.

And I like Sadiq Bey and he's been very good for them.

And he's been a good buy low trade candidate for them.

There's just a lot going to the lack of a point guard and the lack of just like a consistent fulcrum from possession to possession.

There's been a lot of like, all right, I guess Sadiq's going to ISO again.

Like, okay, man, have at it.

I don't really understand what the point of this is, even if it works now and then, but

It's not been great.

This episode is brought to you by Michelob Ultra, a superior beer worth playing for.

It's always a fun way to spice up a little friendly competition.

Like, hey, poker night, suburban dad loser poker night.

If you don't want to throw a lot of money into the pot, maybe throw some beer into the pot.

Who knows?

All-star game?
