They got some health luck, although they suffered their own health injuries, the health issues. Nurkic was hurt for, I think in that entire playoff run for them and Cantor, that was like the Ennis Cantor playoffs. You know what? I've said this many times before. Ask the LA Clippers about how easy it is to make a conference finals.

Ask a bunch of these... Ask the Charlotte Hornets haven't won a playoff series in like a thousand years. Never poo-poo. Yeah, brackets break, right? You get some luck. That's fine. A lot of teams are never able to put themselves in any kind of position to take advantage of that kind of luck. I love that team. I've always loved Dame.

If you look back at my MVP ballots over the years, I always have him like a spot or two above consensus. And it just... it's he's been pretty open about how rough the transition to Milwaukee was for him personally. Yeah. I think he bought in the chemistry with Giannis just kind of never got to the point where we all thought it would be so easy for them on the pick and roll.

And we can talk about that trade and revisit it. Yeah. And I didn't think they were going to win this series with Dame, without Dame. I just didn't think they were good enough. But this is just... For NBA diehards who are up watching Blazers jazz at 11.30 Eastern time, he's a beloved player. And he's a beloved leader. And he's just... It just sucks.

Look, there are a lot of moves you can knock the bucks of the last six to seven years over. Certainly. I always go back to one of the stupid podcast things that I was happiest about in my retrospective of looking back. was squeezing in a rant about Dante DiVincenzo for Serge Ibaka at the end of whatever trade deadline podcast that was. It's like, I just don't understand.

Everybody liked that trade for the Bucs. And I was like, has anyone watched Serge Ibaka? Like, I just don't trade wing for watched a big ever, not one time. The draft picks that were missed, the Kuzma trade is obviously a disaster, which included one of the only draft picks that who knows it may end up being a hit for the Bucs, AJ Johnson. Yeah. I'm with you on the Dame trade.

I will defend it until the end. Now, you could say, did they overreact to the Miami series in which they just fell apart completely? Giannis missed most of the series. Bud did not cover himself in glory in that series. They fire Bud. Butler bullies Drew Holiday. And it feels to them like the end of the road for this team. Like, we just don't have enough offense. And they make this trade...
