Yeah.

I think this was an attempt at...

Finding some sort of way to juice this offense.

This is an offense that had finished prior to the season, bottom 10 in the league and offensive rating the last three years.

Right.

And that's with Jimmy Butler.

It didn't matter in the regular season.

They're 15th in offensive rating right now.

So it's worked like just getting the league average for this offense was it was a huge win, especially given the injuries that they've been dealing with all year.

So I do think the offense worked, but I think that's pretty much the ceiling of this group, minus some sort of star player insertion, right?

Like with this team, I think this is the ceiling.

And this offense, I think this is the ceiling.

And I think Spoh gets credit for finding that ceiling and unlocking it and hitting it.

But yeah, this to me is a desperate offense.

It's not the offense of a team that has like a go-to advantage creator who can kind of just do those things on his own.

I predicted they would finish six in the East before the season.

So they're right about where they are now.

Maybe that just changed after tonight's result.

But this is about where I thought they would be.

I didn't think it would look like this.
