Joe Mizzou is literally out at half court trying to call timeout. Refs won't give it to him. You can see him like for seconds just calling timeout. They don't give it to him. Jalen gets called for an offensive foul later in that play. That doesn't happen very often. So it's just like there's been a lot of weird, weird stuff.
And I'm not trying to give them excuses because they also need to execute better. Their crunch time defense needs to be a lot better. Their fourth quarters in general just need to be a lot better. A lot of it is just like weird stuff has happened during this stretch. And over the course of a season, that's that stuff happens. But for them, it's all happened.

It's all been jammed into slamming jammed into a one or two month stretch.

The Magic, I've been a Magic fan for a long time. I think the way they play defense is just incredible. Those guys can really, really defend. I don't know if they have enough offense to challenge a team like the Celtics, but even if that's a four or five game series, you come out of that... You're bruised. You're beaten. You've dealt with jail and sugs for seven games.

You've dealt with the size and physicality of Franz Wagner and Paulo Banqueiro. You've just... You're not going to be feeling great about yourselves coming out of that series, I think, because you probably struggle to score. Nobody's really in rhythm. If I were them and the Magic are near the bottom of the standings in the Eastern Conference, that's the team that I wouldn't really want to play.

Yeah, I mean, it goes back to last season, too. During the playoff run, he shot 20-something percent on threes, and he was still awesome. It's really hard when you shoot that high volume to shoot that poorly and still be great at basketball. But he's screening. He's moving off the ball. He's getting off the ball when he's double teamed. He's in charge of the offense. He's in command. Yeah.

Like you said, he plays defense. Great, great rebounder for his position. And so this transformation is it started happening a long time ago where he was like just a bucket early in his career and has gradually become one of the best all around players in the league.

Yeah, so it's been a weird season for him because his playmaking has gone way up. His assists have gone up. He's making much better decisions at the rim. Where he's had the biggest dip is like long twos or mid-range twos. And last year he was automatic. For the past five years, he's been very good at those. And so the rate that he's hitting those shots right now is,
