I could do a 5.2, and I know you guys had your own Olympics with Owen, but, like, we would be churning out sixes and sevens and eights.

We'd be like, God, are we slow.

We ran the numbers.

I suggested right now the eighth place team is on pace for 99 points.

But I'm saying even if you wanted 97 points, so like lower than the current pace, to get to that mark, they were going to need, what, 34 points in their last 25 games, now 24 games.

This year, including that run where they won like 9 of 10, they've never got 34 points in 25 games.

Not once.

Last year, in a year where they won the division, the most they ever got in a 25-game span was 35 points.

They won the division and they got there by one point.

So to think that they're going to do it in the next 25, now 24 games, whatever it is, it's not going to happen.

It's not going to happen.

And there's just too many teams around them.

You know, whatever the numbers are, of course, as athletes, we tell ourselves it's possible.

We can go on a run.

We're going to play hard for each other.

We believe until we can't.

The numbers are the numbers.

They're just so far back, it's just not going to happen.

Yeah, I think, Frankie, that can be said on a lot of fronts.

Probably a case for the value of Chris Tanev as well and how much he sort of made other stuff made sense last year.
