And it just comes back to a lack of spacing, a lack of movement, guys not understanding where to be at certain times, other teams that are... throw different coverages at them like the Warriors that showed zones. They blitzed. You have Alpey in the middle of the free throw line trying to direct traffic, and guys don't know where to be. It's just a mess.

And I think that's been the biggest issue because they don't know how to score at an efficient rate. And when the fourth quarter comes around, their luck that they rode all year is starting to come back to bite them. I think even though they're 18-12, In the clutch, they have like a minus seven net rating, which is just, that's the basketball gods to a tee.

And now you're seeing them come back to earth in terms of how these teams are starting to affect them on a nightly basis.

If I was to pinpoint an area where I think a man has made the biggest leap, it has to be in his mid-race comfortability. I think as a rookie, it was clear that he either was going to go to the rim and try and get fouled or, you know, look for someone else to come get the ball. Now...

that the Rockets have put more trust in him in the half quarter, seeing him kind of get to his spots a little bit more, you know, with a little more fluidity, still a bit of a rigid ball handler. And you see at times he turns the ball over a bit too much when you saw like late game in Brooklyn and New York. But. As a mid-range pull-up guy, he does have some potential there.

Obviously, the shot is still kind of funky in terms of the mechanics, but it looks a lot better than it was as a rookie. And I think that that part of his game, obviously, with the athleticism he possesses, he can get to the rim at will.

But if he creates that in-between game, that 12- to 15-foot jumper or floater, that will open up a lot more doors for him and will make him a more well-rounded offensive player.
