So I think that's what it comes down to.

It comes down to Fred.

Can Fred come back?

It's getting late.

Yeah.

This is late now.

But it is a conundrum for Yudoka because he doesn't want to play Reid because of the defensive liabilities.

And that's sort of like where Yudoka like hangs his hat, right?

He wants that defensive identity.

But like you have to play Reid, especially when there's no Van Vliet, because there's no other player on Houston that can give any sort of gravity on the court and shoot the ball.

besides Kevin Durant.

He has to go with Reed.

It's definitely not Amin Thompson.

You saw the comeback.

They're down huge in the third quarter.

And Yudoka, maybe begrudgingly or not, Reed Shepard comes in for Amin Thompson, Clint Capella comes in for Elprin Shengun, leaves Tari Eason out there, and then he finally goes with Josh Okoji, who is so much better than Dorian Finney-Smith, it's crazy.

And he sort of made that decision, and that's when they ripped off the 21-0 run.

And it looked like actual decent offense there for a second.

It was Durant, Reed, like I said, and Josh.

They were scoring all those points.
