Tim Legler

And I had already thought about him even in a limited amount of time.

We saw him last year that I felt like every time I watched Wim Benyama, there was something he did in that game that I would say that's the only guy in the league that could have done that.

And he gave me at least one of those every night.

And so, you know, the anticipation was there.

Let's see what this looks like this year.

What has he added?

You know, they had already said he got stronger and that really translates more like functionally stronger than necessarily body mass.

Functional strength is a real thing.

When he drives and he's got a defender riding his hip and his rib cage, he's not pushed where he's not going in a straight line at the rim anymore, where he would drift off toward the baseline and shoot something off balance off one foot.

He's releasing the ball when he wants to now.

He's playing through some of that contact, so it's more extended toward the rim, and it's just improved his efficiency.

So he's stronger now.

I saw the first half of that first game and I'm going, I don't know what exactly teams are supposed to do offensively against this.

And it's translating to them being four.

No, look, they've played three bad teams.

And if you throw Dallas in there, maybe even three and a half bad teams right now.

Because I think Dallas will be okay.

And then three other not very good teams.

And it's okay.

But let's look at what's really going on.
