I was going through the other offensive options there, and you're like, Luka dragged this team. And I do think there are conference finals appearances that can be fool's gold and maybe gets a team thinking about themselves in a way that they shouldn't be thinking about themselves.

Like, hey, you guys actually aren't that close, and you're not as good as you think you are, even though it says you're one of the Final Four teams still standing. But Luka getting to the finals, again, with a different roster, that quickly after getting to that Western Conference Finals appearance, like, tells me that you actually are close. And again, this isn't some empty stat guy.

This isn't just the most talented guy in the league that even with his deficiencies on defense, there wasn't enough happening negatively with his game that put a ceiling on who you were, where I think there's like five to seven other guys in the league where I'm like, oh, cool, he had 30 again.

And that's the part with Nico where it's very clear they were completely over him. And Windhorse, when he did his rant last year during the playoffs, it just, I mean, that was like vicious. He made a point today where he's like, you know what's crazy about that? He's like, nobody, or maybe I just saw the clip again. He's like, nobody from Dallas called me to defend their guy.
