After being down big, I don't know that it's scary stuff for the rest of the playoff field, but that shows you something. That shows you something where a lot of teams in that spot are like, look, we're still up, commanding lead. They're a little banged up. We're good. We're in their heads. We'll just go back and get this one at home, and let's not try hard tonight.

And that is the opposite of what we saw from the Spacers group. So it feels like what we're seeing now is just a continuation of those really good moments in the regular season. Um, sometimes, sometimes you have the other side of it. Like, you know, Boston was 22 and five after the all-star break, but they've always been really good now throughout much of the stretch with this group.

Um, you know, the Tatum injury part of it, look, I still think they were going to lose game four and still would have been down three one. And it's a nice emotional, you know, you can't count us out yet type of win from the Celtics last night at home against the Knicks. But, um, I don't know.

Jalen Brown being the primary option on your offense in the absence of Tatum for two more high-stakes playoff games, that's not something I would necessarily feel great about. You also have other seasons. As I look at the East, 2018, remember that young Sixers team everybody was really excited about? They were 24-24. They were 36-30. And then they closed the season on a 16-0 stretch.

So they get to 52 wins. You're like, man, look out. The Sixers have figured this stuff out. 16-0 is good. You know what would have been really good is 12-4. 16-0 is 16-0, but I think looking back and then their shortcomings in the playoffs, you wonder, did they close really strongly against a bunch of teams that were no longer competing? So let's get back to Minnesota. They were 17-17.

They were 32-29. Randall comes back right around this part of the season, right at 32-29, I believe. DiVincenzo had come back for two late games in February, so you're basically getting both the trade pieces back. There's also a number here with the playoffs that this team is in this absurd run with Randall back in the lineup, where they're 30-6 in their last 36 games. But

Anyone watching Randall over the course of his career or maybe even the early Randall games with Minnesota, we were like, what did Tim Conley do? I don't know that anybody's ever like after a losing streak, gone back to a locker room and said, don't worry, we get Julius Randall back soon. But that's exactly what has happened. And this is outrageous.
