It's not as great if you don't have that in your bags. And so, you know, Kyrie Irving, for instance, like Teron Liu, who he coached in Cleveland. And again, you look at those Cleveland teams, they shot a lot of threes, especially Relative to their era, right? Totally. But one of the reasons he's as efficient as he is is because he is a, as T. Lou describes him, a three-level scorer.

He can play off the ball, especially with Luka, catch and shoot threes. He can get to the paint. He has the floater, which again, that's a star shot more than anything else. But he has the in-between game. And so... You are not going to hear that as much in the regular season. We're going to hear a lot of the noise that we're hearing now.

But every time that it becomes a conversation in the regular season, you don't hear it as much in the playoffs. Because it changes. Yes. Right. And what changes? The defenses are trying to take things away because they know, all right, you're a three-point shooter. We're going to close you out. We're going to meet you at the rim. Oh, you're a team that doesn't take the mid-range.

So we can actually, as a defense, leave that alone. But the players who understand that, they have advantages. We saw two years ago in the playoffs, Jamal Murray, where did he eat as a primary ball handler, as Nikola Jokic's pick-and-roll partner? He was getting to that elbow, Chris Paul style, and looking like a dude who's going to make multiple All-Star games.

Don't ask me why that hasn't happened yet. Breaks my heart, Law. Breaks my heart. The playoffs, that is a key differential for a lot of these guys, and mid-range is a part of it.
