And you got LeBron in big moments who still knows how to make plays.

They're a really good team.

And I tell you what, I give J.J.

Redick a lot of credit.

That's not an easy team to coach.

He hired a very experienced coaching staff with him.

And he's very secure in his own skin.

I mean, he's got Scott Brooks.

He's got Nate McMillan, former head coaches, on his bench.

He's got a guy like Bob Beyer, who's a good friend of mine, who was the head coach at Siena, has been a longtime NBA assistant.

So he's got a lot of guys with him.

And that's not an easy group to coach because it's ego-driven.

And it's a huge market and a lot of pressure.

But I think they've handled it really well.

I mean, I think Denver and Minnesota are still asleep with teams in the West.

Minnesota's been the back-to-back West finals.

And, you know, if Denver's healthy, their offensive efficiency's off the charts.

I don't like how they're defending right now.

And off the bench, Jonas Valanciunas hasn't been at the level we're accustomed to seeing him play.

I thought he'd be better for that.
