They have a game tonight.

They keep coming, man.

And you're just, I mean, I can't express, like, try to put myself, like, it's deflation, man.

Now, he might be a little lesser than the previous guy that was holding that down, but

There's a version of that that's going to be okay, right?

We just got to get him up to speed, get his rust knocked off, and so on and so forth.

But one of those guys, the Jimmy Butlers, the Staffs, the Draymonts, when you lose them in that way and you know you're not getting them back, that's deflation.

So then you lean on your culture, you lean on the leaders of the locker room, the coaches, the brain trust, and the –

you know, the collective to try to ride that storm out as quickly as possible.

But you just can't predict it.

You can't predict the hangover from that and the deflation that comes with getting that news.

Yeah, I mean, that's the point, right?

We had them stacked on the bench.

Like,

Mike was getting criticized at some points for not getting deep enough into his bench in the playoffs.

It wasn't the lack of people that we had that were capable.
