I'm with you. I think the crazy underrated aspect of this is that they did it with only one top five pick. They didn't, I mean, they, Never got the number one overall pick during any of this time. They have hit big on Jalen Williams, who went 12th, right? Like, they've gotten... Quezon, who went 10th, I'm pretty sure. They've just...

They pick up Isaiah Joe off the Sixers scrap heap after they drop him. They've just been very opportunistic with dudes like that. And, yeah, the scouting's just been very, very on point with a couple of these. I mean, like, you know, there are misses, right? RIP to Poku. But that was like – he was like the 17th pick, right? Like, you're not –

There you're allowed to take a little bit of a swing where you don't know how it's going to turn out.

Exactly, yeah. And so it... I... I think the turnaround is nuts. During some of that time, I know there would be some fans who would be like, God, they've been tanking forever. And it's like, well, no, COVID happened. And so that season is weird and is longer in your memory than a season actually is.

Also, before that season, there was all that talk of like, well, maybe they'll just ship Chris Paul out immediately and start the tank then. And so everyone was, and they had Gallo at that point, same thing. They were like, maybe we'll ship him out. There was a lot of discussion about the possibility of the Thunderbottoming out at that point. And so it was kind of already in the water.

And then when it did happen, I think people kind of acted like it had all, it, it had been happening before that, which wasn't like you say, like the, that, that Chris Paul team with, with, uh, him Schroeder and Shay as kind of a three headed monster there. Like, They were very, very effective. Steven Adams was still doing some stuff. Gallo couldn't move at all, but he could still shoot.

And so that was a good team considering what they had just sort of come from. This team now, I mean, their point differential is 11.9. and we're still way early in the season, that's third all-time. The only two teams that have a better point differential than that are the 96 Bulls and the 97 Bulls. This 11.9 is above the 11.6 that those 2017 Warriors the first year of Durant.
