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.
