I thought that Shingun, again, didn't have the statistical profile, but I thought his game was really solid, and he showed patience, In the pick and roll, there was one play where he didn't settle. He got it. I think it was a similar play where he set a high screen for Fred and caught it at the nail.
And Quentin Post was on him and giving him this huge cushion because the Warriors would love for him to shoot that little flamingo shot. But instead of taking it, taking the bait, he threw it back out to Fred, ran another pick and roll, got a better angle, got behind post, and drew a foul.

So if you're looking for things to hang your hat on, it's just playing with more poise, playing with more patience, not getting sped up. If you're Houston, those are really good things. But I think... at the end of the day, I fundamentally agree that their, their offense, particularly in the half court, it's just so reliant on offensive rebounding and like really tough shot making.

I don't know. It's just me. I'm not really interested in any stuff like this when I'm watching basketball. I didn't know that this was a thing until I watched the press conference. And I expected Steve, when I'm listening to the question being asked, I expected Steve Kerr to be like, we're not worried about that and whatever. We're getting ready for game six and we played like crap tonight.

There's a million reasons that we lost and he didn't do that at all. which I thought was really funny and called the league's reaction to it. Or I guess like how it's not a foul, but the league can call, the refs can call a flagrant foul.

He basically said that he did it. He said, I have the quote right here. If someone had an injured ankle, I would attack that ankle every single time. So whatever they're saying on the broadcast, they can keep saying it. Yeah. And that's I think a lot of players have that mentality.

I mean, I'll echo everything that you said just about the similarities between these two teams. And I think that it's kind of, it feels like, I don't know if you feel the same way, but a lot of these series have been a slog and kind of defined by the defenses and the physicality that's been a big theme in this postseason.
