It's like everything has gone wrong. So do you think they like been a very weird stretch? But but today obviously was just a pretty complete win there. Their defense was there in the first half when the offense wasn't quite rolling. And then once the offense kind of came around, they ran away with it.

Yeah. Yeah. So I'm sure Joe loves it. Yeah. I'm sure there's a part of him that's like, you know what? We can really benefit from this and, and we can benefit from things being hard. We can benefit from, um, Going through like they've talked a lot lately about how the NBA has adjusted to them and how teams are guarding them differently.

And and especially with Porzingis back, I think the coverages against them have been different. They've been shifting and they're sort of trying to figure all of that out. So maybe they come out of this better. But I think the the bigger point is like. Like, they're probably just a little. like, low energy right now. They won a championship.

And as Steve Kerr pointed out today, not only did they win a championship, most of the guys on this team spent seven or eight years building toward that championship. Right, yeah. And so you put so much time, so much energy into winning that, and then you've got to come back, and it's like, where is the motivation, you know? Do it again.

And so I think to some extent, you know, they dominated the first couple months of the season, and they got to December to January. And it was a little tough reincorporating Chris Asporzingas because he plays very different. But I think also it's just kind of. the motivation is tougher to find than, than it was last year.

So you can say that, but then you can also look at during this nine and eight stretch, they've shot something like 34 percent from the arc, which is very rare and will probably never happen again. And they have like the fourth ranked offense or third ranked offense during that time. And part of that is because they do have such a such a high three point volume.

And part of that is because the math suggests like if good shooters get up that many shots, it's going to be really tough to keep that offense down. And that's part of the reason why they've been so efficient at the rim is because you have to worry about everyone on their roster firing away. And so I think, yes, you do have to have other things to go to.
