Game one of the NBA finals is tonight it was moved up smartly and appropriately by the NBA was going to start Thursday and I was totally confused Saturday night when a friend called and said

the final start Tuesday I said no I am absolutely sure they start Thursday and he said I just Googled it and I said really and I Googled it and I went

and he said yeah they they changed it and it was like wow so we get it tonight which I'm fired up about because I got to talk about it today and then tomorrow leads our show

I have a little conspiracy that I'm brewing maybe I should maybe I should run it by you in the brain before I hear what is it I'm gonna run by you in the

nuanced or I think it's a really great story I think I think the ratings and Phoenix and Milwaukee will break records locally

I think it these teams feel like Utah they've done it away they try to add a piece but it's a cool way to do it I like the

way that I'm okay with both I like stars I like super teams but I like this way to I like this way to and I think it's a nice
