Thinking basketball podcast.

My name is Ben.

Welcome back to another playoff show.

And it's like nothing happened over the weekend since the last time we spoke.

Cody,

there wasn't any interesting basketball or fun games or crazy finishes or

controversies, fights, injuries, non-injuries. Absolutely nothing has happened. No, seriously,

I was thinking about this today. I think this might be the greatest first round in NBA playoff

history. Oh. It's crazy. It's absolutely crazy.

I like that call.

I think we talked about this recently where, like, you have a very good memory for things

that happen in specific games.

We were talking about what makes a good game.

And you were like, oh, the game, whatever of this year, game, whatever of this year.

And to be like, the series all kind of bleed together.

So you can say that to me. I believe you. If you were like actually, Cody, 2014, first, first round to 2014 was this and this. I'd be like, yeah, yeah, you're 100%. That

sounds right. So I'm just going to take your word for it on this one. Well, I realize as I say that,

that you're right. We've talked about this offline before, that people have different impressions of what makes a great series or a great game.

I think a lot of people index on close finishes.

So that's like the most salient factor that they can get to.

So if there aren't close finishes, a lot of people don't like that.

And there's a whole subjective component that's like an entirely different podcast.
