Sometimes I wonder if teams don't hunt Kyrie because they're like, man, that guy just gets it. All right, so look. There's really not much to talk about with this team because there's not any statistical thing because Anthony Davis didn't even play the full game. But I still have some hope that they could cause some noise with AD back in it. But you'd have to have Klay still playing like this.

You'd have to... You'd have to kind of figure out what your closing group and what you're willing to give up offensively or defensively and how much AD would hold up for a lot of that stuff. 19th toughest remaining straight schedule, so maybe some ground to make up there.

But the AD thing, look, there's just not a lot that I'm going to have that's all that insightful that you don't already know on this. I would add this. If the Lakers now make some kind of run, a trade that we already know is historically inexplicable, it's going to be so much worse for UMass fans. Like, imagine Luka... in the Western Conference Finals. Okay, Sacramento. No. 7 on offense, No.

19 on defense, 13 on offense, 14 on defense. So when they made their move into this season, I've always felt like, hey, they're replacing Harrison Barnes and DeMar DeRozan. DeRozan's just still impossible to stop. And some of his offensive pull-up stuff, they're going to raise their offensive ceiling, raise their offensive floor, and just hope they can outscore a bunch of teams.

Look, they were stuck on the Fox thing so they're going to be worse. Levine's got his 23 game. Cool. Uh, it's nice to see Keegan put up two great months of shooting after kind of a rough start there.

And looking at the rest of this, Sabonis' stuff, you know, the box scores, when you look at them, if you didn't watch the game, you look the next day and you look twice that they're so impressive, but there's usually going to be some kind of matchup that he's going to be exposed against. Um, there's usually just going to be something there. DeMar's had an awesome February.

But I think the most telling thing for Sacramento, and it backs it up when you watch them play, if you go through the 10 teams in the play-in, and obviously for the playoffs, they're 10-18 against teams 500 or better, which is the worst of any of those 10 teams. That's kind of what I expect. Phoenix. It's bad. All right, overall numbers aren't as bad. Yeah, 11th on offense, 27th on defense.
