I know.
And I watched every second of that game at no point.
And Orlando, by the way, last year...
In teams I saw live, and I saw, I don't even know, probably 26 teams live last year, I would bet.
Orlando impressed me more than any team in the league defensively.
And it was a game, it was an ABC game at Cleveland when Cleveland had that long winning streak.
It was like 15 games or something.
And Orlando snapped that streak.
And they did it primarily because they just absolutely got up in Cleveland, who at the time was on a heater like you couldn't believe.
Their efficiency was off the charts.
They were averaging like 125 points in their previous 20 games.
And Orlando completely got into them.
And I was so impressed with how hard they played.
So you're talking about top five defensive team.
They, at no point against Philly, did they contain the basketball for the entire game.
At every time you looked up, someone was getting beaten off the dribble on the perimeter.
And then Philly, just the freedom and the freewheeling mentality, like up the floor, even after made baskets, they're throwing like one pass ahead.
And Kelly Oubre just shoots a 28 footer with no thought to it.
So all of these guys are clicking.
It's set up by Maxie and the way Edgecombe has played.
