Granted, the final stage is a little bit different, but then there's the other thing that I was saying earlier is that we kind of know who the Knicks are in a way.

Granted, they made some adjustments like with the way that they're using cat that we could talk about, but,

the Spurs are so unwritten and they're still getting better.

Like Dylan Harper is not the guy today that he was in December when we were talking about them.

Stephon Castle, same thing.

Wimby, same thing.

They have so many dudes who are ascending in a way where the Knicks, who's ascending on the Knicks at this point?

They're all kind of in their primes, right?

They're in their, yeah, they're in their primes, but like, I think Kat, OG, and Mikhail are all playing like as well as they have ever played.

I'm not, I'm not diminishing them when I say that.

I'm just saying we know who they are more where it's like the Spurs are still working towards that.

They're not too that stage yet.

Yeah.

Right.

That swung the series back towards San Antonio, the fact that those two dudes looked normal.

Because in the games they lost there in the middle of the series, they were not themselves.

I mean, their role players are playing fantastic.

I think we can get to the root cause of why that is.

I mean, I went and looked this up specifically.

Bridges, Cat, Brunson, and OG, the only guy in their starting lineup that isn't seeing a significant jump in efficiency in the playoffs is Josh Hart, who's adding, as Josh Hart does, little intangible things all over the place.
