And we all walked away from that going like, oh, OK, well, this is different and different than what we expected. And then we saw kind of what they did last season.

You know, they go through kind of the the growing pains of losing to Dallas or whatever. But what I would say is overall is A, the confidence of Dagnall in the group and the willingness to understand that everything is a teachable moment, right? And I'm guessing, and I was not there for game one, and I'm guessing that game one was an incredible teachable moment.

By the way, for him and the players on the way you handle a playoff game, because I don't know how you felt about game one and the ending of it, but I looked at it this way. several crucial errors.

Mistake number two, Shea having that easy look at the cup and not dribbling the ball out a little bit and taking off a couple of seconds. That's what a veteran team there does, gets fouled, right? And And then number three, the immediate foul afterwards with Jokic on the sideline, putting Gordon on the line and getting Jokic back in the game. Like I thought all those things were mistakes.

And they haven't played a lot of close games this year. They have the least amount of clutch games, 24. They were, I believe, 16 and eight in those games. But again, we've just talked about the regular season versus the postseason. It's just going to be different. All of it is going to be different. The intensity is different. The preparation is different.

And the discipline is going to be different. So I feel like every time I watch them, regular season or postseason, I feel like they come away from that. You know how teams always say, oh, we'll look at the film and we'll figure out what we did wrong. I feel like when I watch them, they do take that lesson and apply it immediately, right? They don't lose a lot of games.

They haven't lost a lot of back-to-back games. They haven't lost three in a row, I think, at all this season, if I recall correctly. Maybe it happened once. But...
