And there are times where they don't have shooting on the floor with the guys that they have because they want to have more defense in that situation.

I think that's an important number right there, and that's an important aspect of this rise, at least, is he's playing –

as to what they expected him to be at and at what level they kind of were hoping to get out of.

This is probably, again, the high end of what they were hoping.

And I think another thing that started out for them that really kind of started this run, Zoom missed a couple games, you know, and that forced them to actually have to play a little more five out.

And I think that opened the door to start this run.

And it was funny because I have Clipper fans in my life, like four of them.

You do?

I was going to say, you do?

Are you friends with Clipper Darryl?

Not quite, not quite, but I have a few friends.

One that makes a point to send me notes constantly about the Clippers and things.

But, you know, they were worried when Zoo was coming back.

But they were worried when Sue was coming back that they weren't going to play as much five out or they would lose this momentum.

And I was like, no, when Sue comes, you're just going to get better.

And you can always go back to playing five out when you need to.

And I think that's been a big part of them just kind of having a little, the versatility that I think they thought they were going to have at the start of the season and everybody kind of playing to their level, maybe a bit above at this point, but like, we'll get them on track to where they're supposed to be in terms of, you know, they're not going to win 49 games after the start of the season they had, but they're going to be, like you said, a mid forties team.

I think they're going to be in the race.

I think they're going to be in the race.

for that 7-8 seed and maybe even the 6 seed, depending how the West kind of plays out with some of these teams.
