Thinking Basketball Podcasts.

My name is Ben.

We are live in the morning here to discuss the craziness that has happened.

And I have grown another Cody in a lab.

We couldn't get Cody today. So we brought in Jordan Dyer.

Jordan, you just go by JD on YouTube. Is that? Yeah, I wanted I wanted a catchy handle. And I was

between Jordy, my first name is Jordan and JD. And I wentd my my whole side of my family on my dad's

there's eight of us so i i went i went with the family initials jd there you go short and sweet

jd great video breakdowns does all kinds of short content and little snippets on uh an app called

ticot i don't really truly believe this app exists yet.

I've seen it in the wild.

But he's going to walk.

He's going to hold my hand as I try to figure out what happened last night.

And if you haven't heard our normal weekly episode from Tuesday with Cody, I thought that was great.

There's still a lot of high level thoughts about the playoffs that I think still apply. It ended up kind of being a very evergreen episode. So if you normally listen on the weekend, you can go back and check that out. We had a lot of fun with that. But the last three days, we've had 11 more NBA playoff games. And I don't know, eight or nine of them have been absolutely crazy.

I don't know where to start, so I'll just start with the most recent thing in my mind last night.

I feel like LeBron James, middle-aged man of 41, recruiting his son, Brony James, to play with

rag-tag team of thrownouts and upstarts like Marcus Smart,

somehow knocking off the big bad Houston Rockets.

I know Kevin Durant's only played one game and things like that,

but this is mind-boggling to me,

and I do have a few notes to get through for this game.
