0:00.0	Speaking basketball podcast my name is Ben we are back we had to wait for the finals to end I think we haven't talked in like a month
0:16.9	because you know there's like three games three days between every game in the NBA finals but the
0:22.0	2024 season is over it is in the NBA finals. But the 2024 season is over. It is in the books. The
0:25.4	Boston Celtics win what their 18th franchise championship over the Maves. I don't know why I'm saying this like there's a single person listening who doesn't know the results of the end of the season.
0:38.0	We have some things to talk about
0:51.6	the top 10 teams, which might sound counterintuitive at first because you might be like what do you mean?
0:57.0	We just did the tournament for the top 10 teams, but there's a little bit more to it than that. So we will get to that because this is something

1:50.4	forward facing, that are a little backward facing. are a little backward facing but first the
1:53.7	finals have wrapped up we have not done a pod since game two we have done many many
1:59.4	videos since the last time we talked.
2:03.0	Do you have any post-mortem thoughts on either the finals
2:08.0	or the Boston Celtics who...
