But they've got to string wins together. Like you said, they haven't had three straight wins in a long time. And it just hasn't been super consistent lately. They've handed away games late in the clutch with some weird, weird crunch time mistakes. So I do believe they're coming out of it. They're showing signs. They're beginning to transform back into what they used to be.

So... Maybe. I just feel like Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown have a level of physicality that they haven't always had. Porzingis, he's shooting right now at an incredible rate. And if you look at his stats throughout his career, he's always been a good shooter, but not a great one. But because he's 7'3", it really matters that he's as good a shooter that he is.

But if he's a knockdown shooter, then it's totally different. His post-ups, they might want to use those more often even. He's just an incredible post-up player. He just bashes switches in the post. He's as efficient as it gets. And because he rarely played in the playoffs last year, that's your answer. If they're going to get better, just having Chris Stapps healthy throughout the playoffs.

would be a great way to start because when he's out there and they're flowing and they're making the right decisions, reading the game the right way, there's not much you can do to stop them because if you switch that, Chris Stapps will kill you on the switch. If you don't switch it, then Tatum or Brown is going to have a pretty easy time.

So I think that's the obvious answer, just a healthy Chris Stapps.

I think a lot of it's variance, like like that stretch against the Rockets. They had Luke Cornett out there. When will Luke Cornett be out there in a tight game that they really, really need to win? Yeah. He was guarding Alfred Shang-Goon. Like, somehow they let Shang-Goon just have a straight line to the rim. You're not going to see that very often. The next play...
