So that's been great.

And then the Desmond Bain factor, first of all, hand and glove fit, obviously, with all the culture stuff and then the three-point shooting, you know, all that stuff is obvious.

But what I find really interesting and kind of game-changing for the Magic in having acquired Desmond Bain, they now have a guy who could be their best offensive player on any given night that isn't Franz and isn't Paolo.

where they didn't have that over the last few years.

It was Palo or Franz or bust.

And as you know, with Palo and Franz, it's usually one of the other, they still haven't quite figured out how to do it at the same time.

And frankly, they just haven't been on the court that much at the same time, the last couple of years, but with all the injuries, but with Bain, they have a guy who like tonight and go off for 37 points and didn't say, you know what?

Don't worry about it, guys.

Don't worry about figuring that stuff out.

I got us.

Yeah.

He goes, he makes six, three pointers.

He goes six for nine in this game against Miami.

And by the fourth quarter, he had that heat defense in a blender, right?

I mean, they were just all over the place and yeah.

he opens up to your point with the spacing and the shooting, he's opening up these slip cuts for guys like Wendell Carter jr.

I mean, it was huge.

And this heat defense that is usually so locked in, I counted half a dozen miscommunications and that's rare for an Eric's bolster coach team, but it's,

Credit Bain for sort of setting out those red alarm fires on the perimeter, making them switch from Davion Mitchell to Andrew Wiggins later in the game, like just searching for answers to try to figure out this guy where some of these other leaks started to spring loose.

Yeah, I think they will.
