And then we got a few questions, a few super chats, and then we will get out of here.
Uh, "Yovan, can you ask JJ a question that would make him aware that the first half of the season is important to win since it's easier competition, please?" Uh, I would assume JJ is aware of this.
Now, he did have the, the interesting quote today at practice where he was asked about, do you wanna have the dress rehearsal? Do you wanna see the full group together before the regular season? And then he said no.
And then he clarified that he was saying no because it's just not, not gonna happen.
But, uh, I know fans have been frustrated with the Lakers preseason approach, and they're ...
And there's concern about how that could potentially undermine a relatively easy start to the season.
I, I think they understand, like, getting off to a, a good start is important on a variety of fronts, of like even just a confidence thing with a new group.
If you start seven and three, eight and two, versus five and five or four and six, that could have a real ripple effect on the rest of your season.
I, I don't think we need to bring it to JJ's attention, and I think this is more managing stuff in the preseason and being cautious.
I mean, the other thing is that at least the last couple of years, they have been a strong start to the season team.
So we've seen this team have strong starts, like that's kind of just been what it is.
Forget the whole, you know, even outside the player availability, just like this is a very new group.
