Houston can generate sometimes. I think fundamentally, like my, it's so difficult to pick them though is not that I won't, but it's, it's tough just because it comes down to like tough shot making and who are the tough shot makers on this team. And I, can Jalen Green go off in two or three games? Can Dylan Brooks shoot well over 40% from behind the three-point line?

Can they survive if Fred Van Fleet has another clunker? I don't think that they can. So there's a lot of stuff they can do. A lot of pieces they can... Or areas they can poke at. But... generating good offense for this team is going to be tough.

And I will also say that the double big lineup, which I think has been much ballyhooed deservedly with Shangoon and Steven Adams, you know, the last time they played email, Doka plays that, that duo, it had a lot of success in that game, but he also played it when Steph Curry was on the bench intentionally. And so you can't really do that. Like how much are you going to squeeze out of that?

if Curry is playing more minutes. I mean, we're in the postseason. So I think that that's really fascinating. They go zone a lot when those two are on the court. Can't really do that against the Golden State Warriors when Steph Curry's out there. So I... I don't really have a good answer. I hope that was a good answer. I don't know what the answer is. I don't know.

When the Warriors have... I mean, how do we get Steph going? My mind is recency biased off of that last game that I rewatched a couple of days ago. But you mentioned the... Well, first of all, I want to say, yeah, the Warriors, they got some good stuff doing typical Warriors stuff in crunch time of that game. You had...

there is a possibility that I'm in Thompson who is first team all defense for me and someone I flirted and considered with for defensive player of the year, that he is a true nuisance on the level. We have never seen in a playoff series for Steph Curry. And in that case, the reason that you got Jimmy Butler is that you can tilt your offense more towards Jimmy Butler.
