Well, it was 60%, but yeah.

He got, oh God, I forget exactly what it was, but he got blocked like 40 times last season and he's on pace for like 70 times this year. And, you know, it might not seem like a lot, like when you're looking at it, you know, just a game or five games at a time, but over a season it adds up and we really are seeing, you know, his worst finishing season, possibly in his career.

I have to double check the stats, but at the very least in, you know, six or seven years, so.

Well, are you talking about with the Plumlee lineup or with the Plumlee? Yeah, I mean, it's no secret. So like you guys are wondering about what are the issues with this team? Like it's no one thing. There's the Bradley Beal piece. There's the Devin Booker piece. There's the lack of wing size piece, which is another thing that we haven't even hit on. Right.

But it's like, you know, they either have guys who are good defenders or, you know, who are good defenders, but are like six foot four, like Josh Akogi and can't shoot. And they don't have the right blend of three and D perimeter guys. And then another big one is they have arguably the worst center rotation in the entire NBA. And I think it's telling, arguably.

You know, it might be bottom five, bottom six. But I think it's telling that they close a game like tonight's against Philly with a rookie, Oso Godaro, who's drafted 40th overall.

And their entire center... Yeah, I've been really impressed with his effort and the way he also can play at the elbow and kind of be that connecting piece offensively. He's also a 6'10", 230-pound rookie.

Yeah, their stars in some ways have let them down. I would say the exception to that is Kevin Durant, who I think will be their their only all star this year. I don't think Devin Booker has a chance, unfortunately, with the way he's playing. But then a lot of their role players have also let them down. Yusuf Nurkic has been one of the worst centers in the NBA.
