And I would guess Joe Missoula's philosophy is this.

Without Jason Tatum, we have to do everything we can to optimize our offensive efficiency, guys.

We have to do everything we can.

What's his math quote?

That's exactly right.

And so you can lean into that.

And if you look at his trajectory in three-point rate, which has already broken the record.

Last year's team broke the record for three-point rate in NBA history.

I think that's a good take, and I think it'll be Pritchard, Sam House.

Derek White might shoot 10 a night, and I know that sounds crazy, but he might shoot 10 a night because Tatum, I think, was shooting 10 or 12 a game, wasn't he?

Nine a game?

Well, yeah, those shots are gone, so somebody else is going to do it, and some of the guys getting those minutes and those shots are three-point assassins.

It's one of my favorite things, right?

It's like when you have a great coach or a great team and somebody rests, like when Tim Duncan rested, teams would be like, oh, this is going to be easy.

No, it's not.

They're still going to beat you.

And I do think Rick Carlisle and Joe Mazzulla deserve that level of respect.

And these teams, nobody thought Indiana was any good last year.

Yeah.

They'll break the record.
