Stuff like that happens way more than it should for a team that can legitimately win a championship, in my opinion.
And I've always been a bit of a skeptic in the defense, the numbers.
I know the numbers.
They're terrific.
They're great.
I watch them.
You know, there are games and stretches where their defense is amazing and I have nothing negative to say about it.
I think fundamentally, I always go back to just the differences between the regular season and the postseason with how they're built and how they can be attacked.
And so I'm generally skeptical.
And when you throw in like the just the lackadaisical brain farts that you see recently quite a bit, it's concerning.
But, you know, there's there's stuff to like, too.
But I just think like there's so much, you know, Kat said recently that they could figure it out in game 81 or 82.
And it's like, that is one of the most damning quotes I've heard.
That's just not, I don't think that's going to happen.
Yeah, I really like how you brought up shorting the pick and roll with Mitch Robinson because you're seeing it actually a little bit deliberately with Carl Towns.
Like at the beginning of the Thunder game, I think it was their first play of the game.
It was a pick and roll, high pick and roll with Brunson, Cat.
Cat dives Brunson down.
Hard comes up to the opposite elbow.
Brunson hits him.
