The undercurrent that was going on the entire time is Steph Curry and Mike Dunleavy and Steve Kerr and Draymond Green are all saying these dudes ain't good enough. All year long, that's been undercurrent. We're not good enough. We need to make some trades. Now they've gone from that, they trade for Jimmy Butler, and they out here with the sparkles going in the VIP section at the party.

You know, they think they in the contender VIP section right now. Like, we in there with OKC in them, you know? I can't stand you. Like, that's what Jimmy Butler has done. Right, right. He's infused this whole franchise... With like this new belief and the craziest part of seeing this, we still haven't seen Jimmy Buckets yet.

I think the West makes it unfeasible. I understand what Draymond's saying. You got Steph Curry, you got Draymond, you got Jimmy Butler. They can win any series. Like, they can do it. But that ain't how you win a championship, right? You gotta win four of them things.

So, to me, that's the part that's tough. Like, if they somehow... You know, like, I mean, they're just like every other team. They need things to fall right. You know what I'm saying? Yep. So, they need a first round that, you know, is amenable to them. Like, if they gotta go through Jokic and Anthony Davis and, you know... Like, that's tough.

But I do feel like if you just look up and they make the West Finals... Yeah, I see it.

I see it at that point. We've seen Jimmy Butler do less. We've seen Steph Curry do it with less, right? That's true. With a compromised Klay Thompson and the best of Andrew Wiggins. We've seen Jimmy Butler get to the finals, you know what I'm saying, with Gabe Vincent as the point guard, right? Like, good players, but not that kind. But that was in the East, too, where...

You basically got to win one big series. The problem with the West is you probably got to at least get through two really, really good teams. And I don't think it's a matter of ability or talent. I just think it's really about retention and survival. And that's the question I have. Not like...
