I'm going to shovel this hole all the way through to the other side.

And I think Scoot, you can kind of, and I've always kind of thought that this was the case, whether or not he could like,

build the skill sets that would get him there was always the question because i always knew that he had the right mentality um but it was nice to see him do that and like you were saying what's what's the downside here for for scoot the downside is he experiments at this and has a great experience and learned something from it i and by comparison you know taking it to which isn't the end of the world i think it could ultimately be a great thing for scoot

Not that the Blazers are punting on their chances in the series, but I think it would be a good takeaway.

And the Fox thing is interesting because I always kind of thought that this was the best outcome for Fox's player type.

And watching his maturity last night of just like his usage didn't have to be at a certain level.

Yeah.

it's not very difficult to look at Victor Wimbanyama.

There's just a real road to Damascus kind of wake up call for you as a basketball player when you're next to a Wimbanyama that's like, okay, my place is over here.

I think it would take a real narcissistic monster to not have that realization.

Him making extra passes in the spots, he's a very difficult thing to wrangle because on a certain night, he is capable of being that primary type talent.

I just think it's a great spot for De'Aaron Fox.

I think the the black mold in the in the subfloor for there you go.

There you go, Justin.

That's for you.

For the Suns here, what you said absolutely true.

I think the additional thing that's damning is you have the basically implied deflections, stops that lead to transition that the Thunder are going to get anyway.

I think one of the big problems for the Suns is that the horses that they are trying to ride the distance here are going to...

feed into what the Thunder do naturally.

If you're, if you're getting a tough shot night from, from Jalen Green, that is easy offense.
