If I just throw it, maybe we'll get something and I won't have to drive or I won't have to force something physically.

And I think there's been a lot of that kind of stuff with Steph where getting De'Aaron Fox back would be huge.

And Fox doesn't quite have the physical imposition of Harper.

Like, look at how many times Harper just dusted Lou Dort either by turning the corner on him or plowing through his chest or just in general forcing his way to the basket.

But he got several clean looks at little mid-range pull-ups that he's missed.

And I think Fox, even though he won't have the same physical position, he's a little bit more steady as a ball handler.

And he has that mid range pull up that he can go to as a counter.

So it's a different type of player, but I think Fox would be able to fill that role enough to where Dylan had to miss her game or two.

They'd be able to kind of fill those gaps.

Yeah, just about every time the Spurs run double drag, they get the defense in rotation and they get a pretty decent look.

And that was another example of that.

They kind of got the defense in rotation.

There were several attacks in the same possession, and it kind of resulted in this runway for Steph to get into his one-two.

And then he just... I think it's been one of the funniest subplots of these first two games, whether it's... There's this weird thing with Chet that I'm noticing where he's almost like...

relying on verticality too much around the basket.

And it's like, I kind of wish he'd bow a little bit more, like be a little bit more handsy and physical around the rim because there have been several times where the Spurs guards are just playing off of two feet around Chet at the, at the basket and are able to kind of finish around him.

Exactly.

And so I think that's kind of one of those next phases of development for Chet, which is like bring a little bit more physicality to your rim protection, especially for this matchup, because it's very clear again through two games that like there was a take that I think it was it was either Dylan or Steph.

So many of their takes look similar because there's such power guard takes.

But one of them, a transition take Hartenstein's back and he's at the rim.
