| 0:17.1 | it out there before we even get started. Cody is here, as always, and we are going to attempt to make our way through the best players |
| 0:27.6 | offensively in the NBA right now. |
| 0:30.9 | Cody how are you feeling about this? Are you extremely excited? I'm nervous. I'm visiting my parents right now, so I feel like this is an away game like like the crowd feels a little off the vibes are different so I don't know if that's contributing but |
