The fact that we were talking about him as a dark horse title contender, I think, is a compliment in itself. There's also some other stuff worth looking at. 66 minutes per game in February of Finney Smith, Vincent Vando, and Jackson Hayes. Look who I'm just never going to like.

Catch the lobs and his defensive plus minus stuff because he's just so active and he's a huge necessity based on their lack of depth. at the big positions for this team. But this went from, oh, Luka, well, kind of punting on 25 and see what happens. And I'm sure they didn't say internally, hey, we're punting on 25, but Now it feels even more real.

And Luke is just going to get better and better because these last two games, he's starting to look like Luke again. Houston, offense 14th, defense 4th. Last year, 20th on offense, 10th on defense. The defense has been slipping a bit here. So if you go last 15 games, they're 13th on D. Van Vliet's only played one game in February. I love them. It's one of my favorite teams to watch.

Everybody already knows that. But this is kind of a weird way when I watch them. Like one of the things I'll think about. We talk about the two timeline thing. We just had Anthony Slater point that out with Golden State. Other teams have tried to do in the past. I'm thinking about doing a two timeline deep dive on the rebuilding.

Not to say that it works or completely write it off and say that it never works. But Houston's in a just interesting spot in that it's supposed to be kind of the Jalen Green, Alpy Shingun deal. But it might be about a man, Thompson, who's become a league pass favorite. How about the shooting splits for him?

Granted, he's only taken one and a half threes per game, but he's 52 from the floor, 36 percent from three. Doesn't look good, but it's just so much better because he's more confident all the time. He's getting into this jump shot more and more. So they have a bunch of players that are kind of the same age, but it may be like they have to pick a few of them and go, OK, these are the guys.

And Jalen Green is still going to be the closer for them. Offensively, at times, we know the clutch offensive numbers are not very good, but they have a really good clutch record. I wouldn't give up on Jabari. I think since he's come back, he's actually looked a little bit better with the basketball.
