    And I think Darren Fox was trash. I think he was god-awful. I think, and I don't think that was because of him. I think, you know, because, you know, he was injured a little bit. I think the coach should have had him come off the bench and kind of went with, you know, what he had against OKC, right? I didn't like him just putting him in the starting lineup. But, you know, you live and you learn. That's the difference between, as we know, and been around good coaches and elite coaches. And that's no disrespect to Coach Mitch, But, you know, elite coaches would have put De'Aaron Fox on the bench, let him get his rhythm, and went with what they had. So you would have started Dylan Harper as soon as what, game three? Or like how early do you make the decision? Because the guy's making a lot of money. Once we beat OKC, he's my starting guard until the series is old. We beat the number one team. Why am I playing with the house money? The house money is already we beat the number one team, right? We beat the number one team. De'Aaron Fox, you coming back? because, you know, I was the starting point guard with the Clippers. I was coming off injury. I wasn't all the way right. I played Dallas first game, game one, game two. Luka cooked me, right? I had to go to the bench. I sat on the bench until we got past Dallas, and I end up starting in the Western Conference Finals. And that's Tyron, you know, that's Ty Lue, right? So we talk about, you know, the elite coaches. You know, you have to, you know, you give, you know, Darren Fox, you know, you give him a lot of negativity. Oh, he could have played better. But, you know, you lose as a team also. .
