I got corrected sitting next to some Rockets coach.

But don't say that about him.

Stop.

They can settle down.

But one of the things when Van Fleet went down is like, okay, now every dude in this lineup...

is a rebounder, right?

And so, Durant is one of the tallest threes when they're playing double bigs that you'll ever see in this league.

And then you have, you know, people like Tauris and guys like Jabari, Amon Thompson, who are incredible rebounders.

So,

It is one of the more fascinating pathways we've seen to the number one offense in a very long time.

When Joe Mazzulla had figured out the math, hey, what if we just shot more threes than everybody else?

It was kind of this sort of cliche way to get there.

What I love about this Rockets team is they are reminding us that you can get there with just brute force inside and grabbing rebounds from your opponents.

Yeah.

But those three teams, and you alluded to this earlier, those are the three best teams in the NBA, right?

We have Houston, we have Denver, and we have OKC.

And OKC levitating over both of them.

Well, that's my last trend, by the way.

But dude, I think...

anybody who says all these teams are playing the same, just watch those three teams.
