They're 4-6 in their last 10, but Norm hasn't played since February 13th, so I'm impressed with what they've done. They've exceeded my expectations. They continue to bring in all these players who I cannot stand. And if Ben Simmons had an aggressive and won the other night, congrats to him.

But I'm just not going to pick them against anybody because I just think they're going to be a bad playoff bet because of Kawhi's health and Harden's track record. Something with Harden that I've noticed this year, too. Tight spots, fourth quarters, turnovers. It's a problem. If you look at the top 50 players in usage in the fourth quarter, only... Only jaw is worse on the turnover ratio.

Jokic fans, don't look at his. Minneapolis, also known as Minnesota. All right. I wasn't trying to be clever there. I have it written down as Minnesota. All right, this is what we got. An offense that's 12th, a defense that's 6th. Last year, an offense that was 17th, a defense that was 1st. Whatever the defensive issues were very, very early in the season, they're just not an issue anymore.

You could point to the second lowest contested three points per game, but Orlando's last, so that's two teams that we really like their defenses overall. Those defensive numbers are really good, so that number doesn't really show up as being that much of a detriment to the overall stuff. The biggest thing overall is what's Finch going to do with Randall Conley and Rudy in a playoff series?

Rudy's still the best bet out of that group. Randall might become a 20 minute at night guy because he just I think everybody has to come to the realization of like whatever his numbers are and his skill and his shooting and his passing and some of the rebounding and all that kind of stuff. It's just he's sort of out there on his own. He's going to get his numbers. But what about the other stuff?

Are you going to get back on defense consistently all night long? Conley doesn't really even shoot anymore. And the comeback against Oklahoma City, I think he was under 15 minutes in that game. And defensively, he's going to be a target all of the time. So with McDaniels and Ant and Alexander Walker and Shannon, and Clark.

I think they're going to be going defensive numbers there only because you would think Conley is better offensively to balance out some of this stuff, but it's just not much of a threat and certainly a target on defense. And I feel like there have been games where Finch has decided they're better without Rudy out there. So that'll be a matchup specific thing.

McDaniels, who I haven't always loved on offense, which I think is completely fair, just a complete breakout February here. He's been lighted up scoring-wise without actually shooting it that well from three, which is actually kind of more impressive. Ant's points per possession on ISO is too low, but I still love him. Golden State, offense 16, defense 8 last year.
