They're so hard to kill.

Yeah, I mean, the Julius Randall thing in particular, even though I told myself like this whole narrative about Julius Randall being terrible in the playoffs, it's based on such a small sample. And part of that sample, we knew he was injured. We knew he was injured. And yet it just became such a popular narrative that you just assumed going into the playoffs, he was going to be bad.

But his style of bully ball was so terrifying in that series. And I'm looking ahead to future potential opponents like him playing that bully ball against the Golden State Warriors. Like, yeah, I could see that working against the Warriors. And so I am starting to drastically change my ceiling for this Wolves team because it does feel like everything is just coalescing at the perfect time.

Yeah, compared to the Lakers, Nuggets, Warriors, they have eight guys you trust. And none of those other teams can say that. I feel great about DiVincenzo, Naha, and Nas. That's an amazing bench for the playoffs. Yeah.

I love, I love the Thompson twins so much. Like watching that game tonight. I know he got like the last shot was bad with, but the play right before that, where he just like bodied up Jalen Brunson on the perimeter, didn't use his hands like at all until he absolutely needed to. Those dudes are just so good.

So back to the Lakers. They're heading in the offseason. The focus once again is on acquiring a center after the Mark Williams trade fell through. Do you feel that this Lakers roster is one center away from being a top tier contender in the West? Or do you still have significant questions about the rest of the roster?
