You may have been the biggest Julius Randle fan. You did not expect this. You can't do a victory lap on this. Maybe Tim Conley can. But what he has been in these playoffs versus who he has been historically, it is two entirely different species. So he was 7-8 for his playoff record. Again, record's not always on a basketball player, maybe even less than it is on a quarterback.

But his shooting splits in those series with New York, 41-28 overall, 34-24 overall, 30% overall from the floor, 33-3 in his last series with the Knicks. And then Minnesota trades Cat for this guy and DiVincenzo, who I think people were more excited about the guy in the sidecar coming over in the trade than maybe driving the motorcycle.

But as much as my history with how I felt about Cat is long documented, and there's plenty of examples of like, I don't think Rosillo's a Cat guy or a Dog guy, I guess. 29 years old, you've just made it to the Western Conference Finals. It feels like against Denver, you have a nice frontline matchup to combat the best player in the world.

Because if you can put Rudy on Aaron Gordon, granted the non 45% from three Aaron Gordon, but I still think teams are like, it's okay. It's okay. If you take those, we're not going to freak out about it. But you had Rudy being able to help off of that. Hopefully shut off all the baseline Aaron Gordon stuff.

And then Cat, who as long as his defensive assignment is right in front of him and it's not a switch and he's making a closeout drop decision or he's chasing somebody around a screen at the top like we've seen so many times in this Boston series, if the defensive assignment is right in front of him, Cat is physical enough.

And again, he's not a great athlete, but I think he's athletic enough because it's not like Jokic is crossing you up and all these things. Again, no one ever stops Jokic. It's just... Can you make it harder on him? Which is why the Clippers still have to be like, you know, we have the guy that actually makes it harder.

And I think you've seen that in the carryover and some of the Yoko shooting games that he's had throughout the playoffs. So Minnesota, even if you didn't like cat, you had that. And you also had one of the best shooting bigs in the league, a real stretch five. If you wanted to play that way, um,
