We haven't seen them down there.

And you can't slice the pie anywhere last season and find a stretch like that.

The rebounding is a little bit of a concern and Hartenstein's out and that's a big part of it.

But I do think to your point, if there's a crack in the foundation, it's on the offensive end of the court, specifically beyond the three point arc.

I don't know.

It's just crazy how fast things change.

I remember when I was talking about the 24-1 Thunder and how great they were, I was on with Zach, and I said, hey, a year ago at this time, the Celtics were clear favorites in the NBA championship that ended up being the Thunders.

It happens really fast.

I'm not saying that's what's happening here.

But just as a fan of the NBA, it's a lot more interesting when there isn't this absolute buzzsaw destroying everybody at the top of the league and we can start to see a path for Denver or San Antonio or Houston to at least give these guys a seven-gamer.

Yes, that's what I would like to end on as well.

They deserve to be the favorites.

They are still a pretty big juggernaut in this league.

And has there been an adjustment to the foul baiting stuff or is that, is that a byproduct of something else?

Like I, I got to look at the numbers.

I don't know if it's an officiating thing or people are figuring out how to defend him.

Um, but that's another thing.

He's like, I'm just going to flail my... The giant beard gets tilted up into the sky and the refs are just, they have no choice but to blow the whistle at that point.

I don't like it.

Well, I think the biggest one, Bill, is that scoring is way up in the NBA.
