That's the biggest thing. I know this whole thing is like 'What have you done for me lately?' and every game we repeat the same questions and I repeat the same answers, but sometimes I feel like there's a little bit different timeline or different perspective. You get asked about one practice and what happened there and how did that help? It helps to have some type of clarity on that, but the timelines that we're talking about are much longer. They take weeks, they take months, sometimes they take years like in OKC's case to build something together. It's just not something that's much talked about in this profession because the games come after one another."
