But yeah, it is fair to say that the problems they have and have had, it's pretty clear that some of the more dire outlooks for Shingun specifically in terms of his archetype and how it plays, I think it's being proven that that's not really the issue because very much some of those things are still happening.
I think in the macro, you know, Shingun is your floor raiser offensively.
Steven is your floor raiser defensively is still true, but they're both just well-rounded players who provide value on both ends in most games.
And I think that's something that has stood out when not just Shingun, but Steven as well have missed time the last couple of weeks.
Hopefully, knock on wood, we don't have much more of that moving forward.
Anyway, with that, we'll bring this episode to a close.
One final shout-out, go Texans.
We went over an hour today, so I didn't get in any Texans talk, but yes, we will be watching, and hopefully we'll have a playoff game to celebrate when we return with an episode next week.
Or a playoff win to celebrate, I should say.
We'll certainly have a playoff game on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Thankfully, a Texans playoff game comes on an off day for the Rockets, so...
Rockets have Portland tonight, Sacramento on Monday, or Sacramento on Sunday, excuse me, then the Texans Monday, and then starting Tuesday, the Rockets have a five-game homestand at Toyota Center.
Finally, the schedule will even out.
They have five games in the next eight days inside their home arena.
So it's going to come very, very quickly.
Anyway, with that, I'll bring this episode to a close.
