Um, so we had more things that we could throw at the problem.

The timing was also way different.

Like this is midstream.

We were just getting in the canoe.

You know what I mean?

This was training camp when Amari goes down.

So you can say, all right, well, here was the plan.

Um, doesn't look like we can adhere exactly to that, but like, here's what we can do.

Um,

in terms of augmentation of it.

And let's throw this at it real quick and see how that looks over a preseason, which is what we did.

And then the third most critical part of that is, you know, we had multiple all-stars like Steve was still good to go.

Sean was still good to go.

Boris Diaw was critical in that because Boris was a piece that you could bring in.

And while he wasn't Amari and he didn't finish above the rim,

And so we couldn't play exactly the same.

It gave us another person that you could throw the ball to and he could facilitate offense.

And it just meant we played a little different, but it actually added a wrinkle to who we were offensively that we did not have when Amari was out there.

Amari got it, he shot.

or finished.
