Yeah, and if I'm OKC thinking about the next series, you know, what am I getting from J-Dub?

I need, I need all my horses for this next series and I don't, San Antonio, the question with them was, well, history of the league says dot, dot, dot.

Nobody, nobody under 25

can lead a team to a title without having a taste of it first.

No young team just that get thrown in the playoff fire can survive that first year.

And I just feel like all bets are off, especially with how Castle's playing.

But on the OKC side, they're not 100% healthy.

San Antonio, knock on wood, San Antonio feels like they're running on all injury cylinders.

But with the Minnesota piece,

pretty devastating.

Like you're in set, you win seven playoff series over the last three years.

You kind of had a team built.

The league has these little three, four year windows with the way the tax works that you can, and maybe OKC in San Antonio would be a little bit of the outliers because of their young guys.

But for the most part, three, four years, that's what we just saw with the Celtics.

And you try to catch lightning in a bottle for one of those years.

Celtics caught it in 2024.

They add holiday, they add Porzingis and they're just able to, you know, um, everything kind of aligns and they're spending a ton of money.

If you're Minnesota, you just basically went all in.

You got rid of all your picks.

You're playing a San Antonio team that this is the worst version of the team you're going to play for the rest of the decade, right?
