I get it. Which I think is another aspect of why the loss doesn't hurt quite as much. You know what I mean? Yeah, it doesn't matter. None of these stats matter. The game disappears from existence. You know what I mean?

You're exactly right.

That's a good question. I haven't actually thought about weighing one era against the other in that way. Those early Durant-Westbrook teams, they were so exciting because of the... just sheer force that they would play with. You know what I mean?

And the vibes were really good at that time. I would say, though, that there was always this kind of like, well, will it work?
