Because I think if you looked at, you know, Detroit would love to have any one of Bane, Suggs, Anthony Black.

They would love to have just one of those guys.

Right.

To run some ball screen to do something.

But speaking to the Durham part of this, Rob, that you were talking about, I think packing the paint is really shining an ugly disinfectant light on some of his challenges.

When he has a lot of space to sort of catch it, drop step, beat one guy, bump one guy.

I tweeted out like I had a dozen screenshots of the paint against them.

It was super, super packed.

I want to hit this one stat and I'll move on.

In this game, Detroit, I sent this to Rob last night, Detroit ran 39 pick and rolls in this game at .564 points per possession.

That's a packed paint where guys are being dared to make shots.

Jalen Dern is in a crowd, and it's leading to fart sound, and they got to figure out how to figure it out.

Nothing jumped out to me.

Guys need to make shots.

That's the first thing that they need.

They need Tobias.

They need Dennis.

That would be a great starting proposition, and I think it'll...

even it up a little bit it'll bring it closer but i think one of the problems that they have is you know you see this in playoff series is that um you know as you start to get you know your opponent starts to push the buttons of your vulnerabilities like what does that do to your level of desperation and where does and what is that what trade-offs do you talk yourself into because the pistons are in this situation with their where they're like all right man we need some more you know we need some more spacing we need a little more creation on the

on the floor and who are the candidates to do that.
