Yeah. And not to bring it up again with Boston, but my standard for them is winning an NBA title. So when I see shots where I go, what was that? Like, you guys are too good to be doing that kind of stuff. But then I'll remind myself, like, hey, you're going to watch another game after this one. And you're going to see way worse players taking the exact same shots.

I'll still never understand the guy that shoots it when it's not in his hands. This is hard enough, man. And you know as a shooter, I don't really have it in my hands. It's like, ah, whatever. But I don't want to turn this into criticizing necessarily today's game because I think we're explaining some of the stuff that people don't like and the understanding behind it.

But I had two screens up on... Monday night and two teams within seconds of each other ended up on three on one breaks, three on one breaks. And both wings stayed inside the three point line and both teams with the ball didn't score like completely fucked it up. And I thought, that's crazy because they're not even used to guys not running to the corners.

I don't care who you are. There's nothing worse than looking over to see if you're going to be subbed out while you're trying to play. And I don't know that these guys have to worry about that that much anymore. A couple last things here before we finish up here. I don't want to keep you too much longer.

I was looking at some of the golden state numbers because like, I think the Jimmy Butler acquisition is just what is, what can we do to raise the floor? What can we do to close with five guys that are better than what we had before? So I understand that motivated Butler.
