So it'd just be a little tough for me not to appreciate that and all the turmoil that the team has gone through with trades and injuries and everything.

Stuff that is probably his fault that happened in the past.

He's just been phenomenal.

So it's a toss up for me.

And I mean, JB has been incredible.

And just last night against the Heat, like had like 13 points in the first three minutes of the game or something like that.

He was stepping through double teams, knocking down threes.

He's been phenomenal.

So I can't really say anything negative about any of these candidates.

They're all phenomenal.

Totally fair.

I mean, at the start of the year when he was shooting the ball like Kevin Durant, I thought that that was one of the more revelatory parts of the season for the Celtics and kind of got them off to the hot start that they were able to sustain.

And then I also think that, you know, Boston has always been a team or in recent years, they don't really attack the rim.

And this year they've

one of the reasons that I am probably going to vote for Joe Missoula for coach of the year is just how he's adapted his philosophies, his, his, his strategies to to the personnel that he has.

And so it's obviously a more athletic, younger team and they,

have upped their drives more than any other team from last year to this year.

And Jalen, I think is averaging like 10 more drives per game or per hundred positions.

I'm not sure.

Then he did last year, which is obviously significant.
