Yeah, it's kind of funny. I would love to get Tyler Hero in an honest moment and be like, isn't it nice that it's not you in the trade rumors for once? Right, right, right. But this team really, like, it's not a surprise.

Like, they really find some sick enjoyment out of it. And I really do mean that, like, earnestly, like, they hear all these things and they're just like kind of rally together. It's, it's part of the identity of this group. It's very intangible, but you can, and, but when you're winning four in a row, that's the part when that's when you see it, right.

That's when you can touch and feel it and see it in the standings. Um, I, I, I was telling Dave before we even started recording, I've never seen Jimmy Butler in a better mood after a basketball game than I saw him tonight. He was amazing in that postgame.

He's really kind of had some fun dyeing his hair and changing his hair color and all these things. This team just really kind of gets jazzed up when people are doubting them or questioning them or whatever. In terms of the win streak, I think the overall sentiment on the team is We knew it.
