Yeah, no, that's fine.

I get that, too.

I mean, I understand that.

Like, listen, they have...

That's been one of the, I think one of the better stories in the, in the league is what they've done at them and Philly.

I think both of those teams, what they've been able to do with Boston, not having Tatum and really just, I think holes in their roster to be able to do what they've done.

And in Philadelphia, the uncertainty of when a bead's going to play, you didn't have Paul George at the start of the year.

And when it B does play, it's a totally different style you adapt to.

And those two teams are third and fourth in the Eastern Conference.

I did not for the life of me see that coming.

If you told me Embiid was missing the amount of time he's missed and Paul George, there's no way I have Philly probably in the top eight in the East.

Boston, I thought at best they were going to probably be like in that five, six, seven area.

So both of those teams have overachieved because they've been carried by a couple of guys offensively.

But I get why you'd include Boston in that.

Why not?

Particularly if these reports are that Tatum's going to come back in March and he might be back for a month before the playoffs would start.

Yeah, they absolutely probably should be included to win the East at least.

I don't know if any of these teams legitimately are beating Oklahoma City in a seven-game series.

So the real question is who could be the last team standing against them in the West and who could be the last team standing from the Eastern Conference?

That's really what we're talking about.
