Yeah.
Who's been unbelievable.
And he's also so critical to their team and how they play.
But that lineup that closed Orlando, I was just really fascinated by it.
Kenny Atkinson's decision to kind of surround his three best players with shooting some of the best shooting in the entire NBA.
Max Bruce has shot the crap out of the ball since he's come back to.
Uh, so I, I would just love to see, uh, I think Kenny has a lot of, uh, a lot of options and it's a good problem to have, but he has so many, I mean, Keon Ellis, Dennis Schroeder, like who is going to come in and who are they going to play with?
When are they going to play?
Um,
There's some questions that they still have to figure out, as you said, and you alluded to.
But I just really want to see them healthy.
And I still think they could find themselves in a playoff series and kind of carry themselves through.
Because they're just so talented.
And they've gelled offensively almost immediately.
The pick-and-roll chemistry with Harden and Allen was so seamless.
So...
Do I think they're going to win the East?
I would still pick Boston, but I like the Cavs in a series against the Knicks.
And I like the Cavs, honestly, in a series against the Pistons, a team that I really, really respect.
But I just think like shooting is so important in the playoffs.
