Thinking basketball podcast.

My name is Ben.

Welcome back.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I was just looking at the comments.

The commenters are already coming in hot,

and I'm not quite sure the relevancy of that particular comment.

I was just confused.

I was showing my consternation with my eyes, Ben.

Okay, I don't know.

Wanted to make sure you are okay.

If you're keeping score, I am the co-host who was not in a pogrom this week.

So that's just the technicality of how things are going.

And I have something too correct, Cody, since I podcast from a hallway and you podcast from Asana.

I have to correct something.

Last week, I misspoke.

I want to thank the commenter for correcting me.

Palo Moncaro last week, I said, was the commissioner's pick when he made the All-Star team. He was not the commissioner's pick when he made the All-Star team. He was a reserve pick. I was thinking of Scotty Barnes. Scotty Barnes was the commissioner pick. Yeah. I appreciate that. I think instead of just shouting and being like, oh, why did you draft so-and-so instead of so-and-so at number 18, actually correcting factual things? I'll accept that. That's the kind of criticism, feedback, whatever it is that you want to call it from somebody, because we want to make sure that we have our facts straight on this podcast. What are facts? Who needs them? Truth and it's shared reality. It's overrated. But I do think it's a great example of a cognitive bias.

Because in my brain, if you listen to our sub All-Star podcast and things like that, I think over the years, I somehow was like, oh, yeah, it makes more sense that Scotty Barnes, who once made an All-Star team, was selected as a reserve, and Paolo was the commissioner's pick.

And it's a beautiful example of cognitive bias brought to you by me being an old man who can't remember things.

So, yes, we're up to a good start.

As much as I always drafted Barnes really high in those drafts, his last couple of years weren't necessarily like shining beacons. I think I was definitely somebody that saw the light through some of the darkness that was Barnes's developing career. But I think it's all starting to culminate a little bit more. We've talked enough about the rap. Maybe not enough about the Raptors, actually. The fourth seed in the east. I mean, we talk about Boston. We're so excited about what they're looking like the Raptors of one fewer win than the Celtics. I don't, who cares about net rating? I'm not going to look at fancy, schmancy numbers like that. We don't even look at stats on this, on this episode on this pod on this what do we call this a program does anyone say the program yeah no i'm just saying
