I can roll you out for 14 minutes in a playoff game.

And MPJ was playing that series with on one arm and the guy that they got for MPJ has played like eight good games this season, but all eight of them came right before his injury flared up.

And that's Cam Johnson.

And he was trending the right way.

Look, as much as we want to say, like the playoffs are about your top seven or eight guys and they, and they generally are.

Every team that wins four playoff series has like a jail and picket game somewhere along the way has a page of Stojakovic in Dallas game has a whatever game where that guy saved us for a quarter and swung a game that swung a series.

You just need more guys.

And just on Denver, you know, I was at their first game without Yokoch in Toronto on new year's Eve.

And David Adelman after the game was so proud of that win.

And one of the things he said in his press conference was, I don't have the box score in front of me, but their turn, they only had like 11 turnovers in the game.

And he said something that turned out to be so prescient, prescient.

But I look in this stretch, like we're, we're down a lot of guys.

just getting the ball to the rim is a big win for us.

Like we just have to get shots up on every possession and not get empty, dead, zero shot attempt possessions where we turn the ball over because we'll get free throws.

We'll get offensive rebounds.

And lo and behold,

In these 14 games, they are second in turnover rate.

They have the second lowest turnover rate and the third highest free throw rate.

Their offensive rating is not particularly good.

Their defensive rating is not particularly good.
