Derek, that was a fun one, and thank you for braving the cold, unlike me and Kyle and the snow, to get down there.

Any big takeaways from whether it's Nurse, whether it's M.B., Maxie, whoever it was.

Oh, Paul George, obviously, after the game, anything notable from the post game.

Yeah, I mean, not a whole lot. I think for the most part,

a lot of the conversation revolved around Jared. You know, obviously he has been down for quite a while

now. I had that big fourth quarter the other night in complete garbage time and then carried

that over through this one. So a lot of Nick Nurse, a lot of Paul George. Obviously, Jared was

at the podium himself. A lot of that centered around, you know, George. Obviously, Jared was at the podium himself.

A lot of that centered around him and getting himself back on track and what he's done over the last couple of weeks and months to get him back into a better spot mentally.

So I think that is probably what the major focus was.

And for the most part, it was just a, it was nice to see. You almost felt bad a little bit because it did seem like it was like, yeah, hey, you played great, but like how tough were the last couple of months? How were you able to brave through this? And it really felt like, you know, yeah, it's great that we're talking about him, you making shots, but we're all also acknowledging

that he has not been himself for quite a long time. So I think that was sort of the main takeaway there. And all I can say is personally, I'm just glad that they made a bunch of threes there in a second half because I did not want to talk about the way they played defense, really for the entirety of the game, because that was pretty atrocious. We have also ignored the defense for the entire show as I'm sure you're not surprised to learn. So, Derek, to piggyback on what you're saying here, we felt and talked about watching the game that we could feel the emotion not just from Jared, but from the entire team.

Like when he hit that three to send the bucks into a timeout in the fourth quarter,

VJ is going crazy, the bench is going crazy.

Did that carry over into what you were seeing post-game and just like the team kind of

rallying around Jared as at this tough stretch he's been through? No, I mean, he talked a lot about, you know, how all of his teammates have been great, how they've all been very supportive, encouraging him to shoot. He called out Yulele and Bede specifically, you know, about continuing to give him encouragement even through the down times and having confidence in his shot. So yeah, he certainly,

you know, he acknowledged that the team has been there for him. You know, he even asked at one point, like, hey, you know, you're watching VJ succeed. You're watching Quentin go out there and play. Is it hard to have sort of like mixed feelings about like I want them to do well, but I also want to make sure that I have a chance to get back on the floor and show what I can do. And, you know, he for the most part said, no, like this is a, you know, you control what you control,

put your best foot forward and, you know, see where things go from there. But he certainly, you know, he was called out some of the reactions from the bench when he made some of those threes. And, you know, Jared, with the big bright smile, certainly looked like he was very, very receptive

and very appreciative of the support that he's gotten.

Derek, speaking of reactions from the bench, did anybody in the post game talk about that and be dunk?

I mean, that was, I haven't seen that.

Diery said on the broadcast that he had not seen that since his second year.
