So those are the two biggest things, because we have these big...

Discussion points about whether it matters in the regular season or it doesn't matter.

Are they going to turn it on and these things.

And I do think they'll play better in the postseason than we've seen the last couple of games.

But this is about getting to the NBA Finals.

It's not about winning a couple of series and then puttering out in the conference finals.

This is about getting to the NBA Finals.

That's why they fired Tibbs.

And the two things to me...

that are going to hold them back from what I've seen that are significant that we could take from this regular season.

One is their two best offensive players are a sieve on defense in Jalen Brunson and Carl Anthony Towns and teams expose them for that.

And two, the head coach can't figure out

How to get one of the more talented players in basketball to play like one of the most talented players in basketball.

And it's not all... Some of it's on Towns.

I'm not completely absolving him of blame.

But I used to put all the blame on him.

And I'm just... I can't do that anymore because he's not getting the basketball.

I mean, and then to me, the best example is, you know, here's Jose Alvarado comes from another organization.

And he comes into these games and he's like, hell yeah, I'm getting Carl Anthony Towns the ball.

I mean, he's the only guy who wants to feed him and get him involved.
