Ranking more elite polls from overtime. I already have a feeling I'm not gonna like this. I'm all for improvement. I think people can get better. In overtime, I think you can get better. So overtime, I got faith in you. Let's see what you got for me. Seventeen's. Seventeen's right now. You're gonna run them until I tell you to stop. Okay? This is atrocious. If you mentioned Gerald Green having four and a half fingers on one hand, that's ball knowledge. But Gerald Green himself as ball knowledge? Guys, I I feel like I'm fighting a battle by myself. I need you guys to help me here. I'm losing my mind. We've lost the plot. We have lost the plot. Andre Worse, one of the best defenders in the league at one point. Ball knowledge. Guys, guys, we need to do something about that because this is sickening. Alright. What else you got for me? Okay. Why is Eric Bledsoe a go to ball knowledge poll? This is becoming a common theme tier, and I don't like it. I don't like it at all. I can't do this anymore. I can't. I can't. Over tier, get on the baseline. Get on the baseline now. No. Matter of fact, get to the corner. Go to the corner right now. Alright? Alright? We're running a James Harden offense on you for the rest of the year. We have to do something about this, guys. This is unacceptable. This is not okay. Not okay. I don't wanna. I don't wanna prove it. I don't want to.
