And they're probably Aaron Gordon hamstring away from going to the conference finals.

Um, to your point, I want to read you a quote really quickly.

Um, this is from, uh, this is from David, uh, David Adleman, uh,

Over the weekend, he said, you have to play a different style sometimes.

And he's talking about guys coming in and out of the lineup.

You have to play a different style sometimes when you have certain people out.

But I think we get people back.

It's hard for people that have taken on more responsibility to fall back in their role.

It's human nature and they're trying to do it.

But they also know that, let's say over a two-week stretch, they had the ball in their hands constantly, and now someone comes back and that changes.

So there's these little incremental stretches where you just have to be a little bit more patient with the group.

Even with Nikola coming back, it's just not him coming back.

It's him getting back into rhythm.

It's guys understanding that the style of play on both ends is very different.

Now, I saw them in Golden State when they came over the weekend, and you could see, and granted, this is the third game in four days.

It was a vaunted 12-30 start, which you love Howard Beck as a beat writer, but players and teams don't necessarily love that, right?

So it was the last game of a three-game road trip, and then they had to, you know,

play through that.

And you could see the ups and downs with golden against golden state where, um, they came out flat.

Uh, D Anthony Melton had a game and then they get back into rhythm, get back in the flow.
