If you feel like you need Porzingis, that's a dangerous way to play.
00:03
Right, right, right.
00:03
Because I don't know that you're going to have him.
00:05
Do you think they need him to win this year?
00:07
I still don't think they need him to win this year.
00:09
And maybe that speaks to the other teams that are out there.
00:12
And we hit on it briefly yesterday when Terp was in.
00:15
You know, I like Cleveland.
00:16
I don't love Cleveland.
00:17
Like, you like New York.
00:18
You can't really love New York.
00:19
Like, you go through, maybe in the West, maybe that's different.
00:22
Maybe if you get a healthy team this year out of the West,
00:23
whether it's Oklahoma City or Denver, maybe then you need Porzingis.
00:28
But I'm with you.
00:29
Every time we talk about this team and project them out,
00:32
I never assume you're going to have him.
00:33
And then if you do have him, great.
00:36
Like, I feel like that's almost like piling on.
00:38
Not only are there no excuses, but that's when maybe a six-game series
00:42
becomes a five-game series, or a five-game series becomes a sweep.
00:45
Like, when you have him, you can see how different they are.
00:49
I mean, he's obviously a very unique player himself.
00:51
But then when you add and subtract him to the lineup,
00:54
they look a lot different.
00:55
And that's the best they can be.
00:57
I know they've had plenty of games with him where they've lost.
01:00
They've had their whole lineup and they've lost.
01:03
But when everything's cooking just right, like,
01:05
that's the best team that they can have.
