Paulo Alves

on how tired and how fresh his legs are.

Beyond that, there's no longer, I don't think, reasonably the excuse of, oh, Shane Goon's still coming back from injury, or he's not 100%, and that's why he's mostly for his stutter on the rim, not necessarily his defense.

I just think that that's been a constant regardless of whether or not the season.

But offensively, it does seem that his season has trailed off after starting off really hot.

Both.

I think that might be a little bit because of fatigue.

Might also be because it seems like his shot diet has changed again.

He's not taking as many threes as he was earlier in the season.

It seemed like there was a rework on his shot diet.

going into the season and that seems to have regressed back to where it was last season and that will not help his efficiency as well.

So I do expect Sengun becoming fully healthy to be something that makes us better.

Dorian Finney-Smith, you know, we're getting to a point where, OK, you've got to show us that you're still anywhere close to the player that you were before.

Like, a long time has passed.

It's about time.

And then I think the biggest impact is actually, well, we talked about earlier in the season that everybody was pointing out small things that they would tweak with the lineups, right?

And one of the things that I brought up on the pod was, well, yes, it seems like there is a little bit some low-hanging fruit that they could use to become better.

But I also said, well, we have arrived.

We are a playoff team.

The goal from the beginning of the season wasn't to squeak out every win that they could possibly get by, you know, fully maximizing the team to be as good as it can be right now.

And I do think that that was true.
