 to be in first place, first time for the franchise since 2003, having the best record in the Eastern Conference with what you guys have gone through from injuries or a number of other things. What does it say, you know, about this group? Obviously, there's bigger goals ahead, but what does it say about this group at this point to be where you are? Yeah, we're, you know, first and foremost, really proud of our guys, you know. They've had a lot thrown at them this year. We've had a lot of different lineups, you know, tough schedule, and a new group, you know. I mean, we've had three new groups in a sense, so for them to stick together, to continue to pursue what we're asking them to pursue, big picture end, you know, in the short term with the details, you know, it's impressive. You know, we, first half was the doldrums, especially the first quarter to a tee, but, you know, second half was outstanding effort and improved physicality. And so that, again, I would say we're really proud of our guys for what they've accomplished considering everything that's been thrown at them. Do you hear anything, you know, regarding the hamstring injury, considering which heaven is going through? It causes everybody to pause. What do you know right now, as far as James Harden in this situation? Yeah, I mean, we're going to monitor it. We'll see how he feels in the morning. I don't have a lot to tell you, but we feel optimistic. It's not a long-term thing, and we'll just monitor it. Ryan Lewis with the New York Post. I was going to ask you about James, but you talked about the doldrums, and I'm curious whether anything that was said by you or by any of the particular players in particular that helped kind of shake them out of these doldrums early and, you know, in the second or third quarter? I mean, we talked about it at halftime, you know, they know, they know, you know, they're professional basketball players. They know that it wasn't good enough, wasn't tough enough, mentally weren't locked in, and didn't give the effort or the respect that was deserved. And, you know, it doesn't matter what's said or who said it, what we talked it over, they took the challenge. And that's what matters. You could talk to your blue in the face, if they don't take the challenge, it doesn't matter. But so our guys, you know, they had pride, and they had respect for each other, and they went out and competed, and were unbelievable in the second half. It's not perfect, but it was a heck of an effort, losing James, you know, Kevin out, Landry out. Lamarcus not playing yet, it was, I thought an outstanding effort, and I'm proud of them, and it made up for, you know, a very painful first quarter or so. Alex Shiffer with the athletic. Hey Steve, would you make of Nick's play down the stretch? You know, he had that assistive leg that blocked, he had a couple baskets and road seams, like there was time in the fourth quarter, he was really carrying you guys. Nick was outstanding, you know, we've seen at his length athleticism, he just plays so hard, but he did make a couple really nice, you know, plays, like you said, assist, a couple tough finishes around the baskets, rebounds, tap outs, deflections, things like that, defended, you know, so very, very impressive, and you know, we're, you know, we need him, he's maybe our best defender, and you know, with that length and activity, he's been outstanding for us.
