I think what's fascinating to me is how...
They really were done.
You know what I mean?
They really were not the same team.
They move on from Kelsey Plum.
They bring in Jewel Lloyd.
And I actually, to start the year, thought that could be an upgrade just based on what we know Jewel Lloyd has done in Seattle.
And then it felt like Jewel maybe just needed to get her swagger back or maybe her age was starting to catch up to her.
She chooses asks to come off the bench and then like things sort of change.
But Asia was primarily the only one that was doing anything offensively other than Jackie Young.
It was just those two.
And outside of that, it was just very anemic.
But they trade for Nelissa Smith, which I think made a lot of help for Asia.
And then getting slapped into the mouth by the Lynx, I think, really woke them up.
But I don't want to act like we were all wrong to be concerned about a team that was 7th.
And just teetering on the edge of missing the playoffs altogether.
What we've seen is probably, Juju, one of the greatest turnarounds
in basketball history.
And like a dynasty, a team that's won multiple championships, they can always do that.
That's what the Warriors did, right?
