You know, fairly, I guess.

You know, the Clippers nation is not the most vocal nation there is around here, especially, you know, when they're not really good.

When they're, you know, just kind of average like they were this year, people are like, yeah, all right, cool.

You know, I think the thing it always comes back to with the Clippers is that kind of like it's the Clippers, you know, like that black cloud kind of hanging over their head.

So, you know, again, this season finished,

Kind of on a down note, the way they got dispatched in the play in tournament.

But the second half of the season after the way it started was better.

It was interesting.

And I think people were a little bit excited about that, that they went on a nice little run and it was like, OK, well, that was that was better than we thought it would be at the end of the day.

It's exactly what we expected.

So, yeah, they're kind of playing with that house money, too, a little bit.

Like, they didn't think they would get out of the first round.

The fact that they...

beat the Rockets.

You know, a lot of people were excited about that.

A lot of people were fired up and like, oh, you know, the real hardcore fans are like, oh, we're going to beat OKC.

And I was like, right, sure you are.

So, yeah, this is kind of what you expected and the fact that they won that first round tournament thanks to KD not playing all that much, I think, was a feather in their cap and, you know, had the fans excited for a little bit.

Like, what could this turn into?

Because they thought Luka would be back, right?
