Chapter 1: Why did the Chicago Bulls lose twice in the play-in games?
West Coast Bulls.
Yes. To further cement how stupid the Bulls are as an organization. Yeah, it was basically, let's watch the real Bulls play, lose by a lot at home, and then let's watch the core that was built around Zach Levine and DeMar DeRozan play out West, lose by a shitload at home.
Yeah, so now Dallas advances to play against Memphis. Yep. And I want Dallas in the playoffs. I do too. I really do. I think that'd be fun. Klay Thompson avenged last year's, he went 0 for 10, I believe, last year.
Yeah, I remember. I bet it. I was like, Klay Thompson is a big game player. He's not going to go out like this 0 for 10. He went out like that. Yeah, he went out like that.
But he's back like that now.
Also, the Kings, they're kind of lost in space. No idea what's going to happen with them. I feel like a couple years ago, we had to light the beam. Everyone was pumped about the Kings. They did something on Wednesday night that you can't do if you're going to lose at home. I think they ended up losing by 16, but they were down by 23 at half. Did you see the player introductions?
They played the My Little Pony theme song for the Mavs, which is very funny, but you can't do it, then lose.
You can't.
You absolutely cannot do that.

Chapter 2: What is the controversy around the NBA play-in tournament?
You've got to go scorched earth at this point.
No, they're going to pay Josh Giddey. And again, it's not really like... Josh Giddey's fine. He could be your... Third or fourth best player. But they're going to pay him way too much money. And they're going to be like, well, he's 22 years old. He's going to get way better. Okay. And you're going to be in the same spot. The ceiling is going to be the eighth seed play in game.
Yeah.
You get two home playing games. So, yeah, that was my sea reg. Hank was trying to say that we could beat the Cavs a week ago. What did I say?
Well, you guys have been so hot. You guys are trending so often.
Yeah, you fell for it. You fell for it.
I'm sorry to speak into existence.
We've done this before, but the halftime lead for the Heat was 71-47, and that is pretty much the largest 24-point deficit you can have.
Yeah, because you rarely see it with those numbers that high. It feels like 30. Yeah, that's a big one.

I need you to... I want Abdul Carter.
I want to make it Abdul Carter.
Why? You don't want the Giants? Yeah, I don't like... All the Penn State guys just go to... Yeah, but they go to the Eagles. Yeah. So you just got that.
Michael will probably end up in Eagle.
Memes, what are you thinking about?
uh membao uh the right tackle from mizzou okay he had numbers uh like trip williams so that'd be cool to have a right tackle for the next 10 15 years that would be cool i just i know i have to take malachi starks because if i don't then max is going to get him yeah system guy yeah uh okay yeah so we're gonna do draft stuff all next week uh you'll probably trade him to us shut the fuck up max probably will
All of a sudden, Villanova just took JMU's best player. Oh, no.
