I'm going to go by my full name.

My mother will be very proud.

Not true.

It's more of a fallback when I try.

So it's, it's, it's funny you mentioned that.

Like I, after the game I'm in the locker room and I asked Austin Reeves, I'm like, Hey, like can I get for an extra minute after scrum?

He's like, grab a seat.

We like just kind of like run down like a little bit of the streak a little bit and all the moments, like I started with the game tonight and it was like, sort of like when you guys went down like 16, he's like, and I was like two months ago and like, he cut me off and he's like, we lose by a hundred.

And then, like, I gave him another, like, moment, like, in Houston when, like, the Rockets, I'm like, you know, when Sen Goon, like, decides he's going to physically dominate for, like, a four-minute stretch in the second quarter and, like, tell the Lakers, like, no, we're not rolling over.

You're not beating us twice in a row.

They would let go of the rope and lose by 100.

When they show up in Miami at 5 in the morning,

You know, you lose by 100 when you feel like the refs have it out for you in Orlando.

You lose by 100.

There are all these moments that that like the Lakers of like January 10th would have crumbled under.

And tonight included, like they're just not.

And I think, you know, so what's what's changed?

Right.

I think one, they're by and large, they're healthy.

And they've had probably their best level of continuity here over this last month than they've had all year.
