If you're in the play-in, I'm sorry, you're probably not going to go to the NBA Finals.

That'll be exceptionally difficult.

So...

I'm more pessimistic today than I was even a week ago before he fell on his ankle.

And there's all these other things that we can get into about how, why they are weird, but just zooming out, that is really what my focus is on.

And yeah, there's a lot to like, but there's just a lot of flaws with this team that I just don't know will, I don't think they will translate well into playoff basketball.

I think that's totally fair.

And going back to the comment you made about Fred,

I think obviously where you see him missing is the high turnover rate for sure.

The crunch time offense, which I'd love to talk about more because I think that that is one of their great Achilles heels.

And just really problematic when I went through this morning and watched a ton of their crunch time possessions offensively.

Tell me what you saw.

I mean, it's just such a mess.

It's both a mess.

It's like bumper car basketball.

And then also, it is so formulaic and so predictable.

And so just like the defense knows exactly what's coming, which is probably going to be Kevin Durant, high pick and roll, or maybe without Perrin Chagoon, usually.

Or Kevin Durant just drawing two because...

the defense is just unafraid of him swinging the ball and they're, they know that they're trust their ability to rotate behind the play or Alper and Shangoon two man game with usually Durant, honestly.

And I just think that that predictability is, it has not worked out well for them.
