It is relevant context.

But even absent that context, just watching these two guys go at it over the course of this series has been awesome.

I don't know that I expected that or even necessarily wanted that, but Wendell has held up his end of the bargain.

Seeing Jalen Duren show up in the way he did in Game 2, it's just become an awesome subplot for this series.

I don't even know what realm he might be coming to us from.

Who on earth is John Rothstein?

Okay, I definitely don't know who John Rothstein is.

Is that the implication of being the carpenter?

The like capital T, capital C carpenter?

It is a pound the rock kind of situation.

I'm with it.

He is meticulous in his way.

So I can see the precision, the attention to detail.

That checks out for me.

Okay.

Anything else from this game?

The Carpenter.

I don't know that it's an aberration so much as a lot of the variables surrounding the Magic are just like how they deal with adversity.

When they do meet equal pressure or a certain kind of attention on defense that's stifling them, how do they deal with it?

Historically, the answer is not super well, and they get bogged down.
