Thinking Basketball Podcast, my name is Ben. Welcome back. It is Tuesday, May 14. I was going to say Monday, May 14th

because we usually record on Mondays throughout the season, but it is Tuesday, May 14th.

I don't know why I'm starting the show with the date

other than this, look, we need to time stamp things

for when people listen from the future

because the NBA playoffs are crazy this year.

They're crazy right now. I want to talk to you about that, Cody,

so we can get to the bottom of this.

And it's 2-2 in the Denver, Minnesota series.

I don't know if you know that because

I'm not going to say, Cody, you were part of the problem.

I'm not going to say you're part of the problem.

But you did have Minnesota in the finals last week and I have a bit of a gripe about this whole situation

But before I get really worked up I mean welcome. How you how you doing it well you are right like I'm pretty sure I painted like the the

wolves I gifted them a conference finals birth and then the finals birth last week I did

say I was like I would not be surprised if the

Timberwolves just completely swept. You said that which is why I'm hesitant to put you

into the group that I am about to rail against. That's okay you know I'll like I'll accept it but I do have to say that

the Jamal Murray that we saw was just a little a little bit different from the

Jamal Murray we saw games one and two so I get you that yes don't count out the heart of a

champion something like that was once said yeah Rudy that was really go bear

Rudy too I'm gonna mention Rudy T in my ran as well okay Rudy? That was really go bear. Rudy.
