Last but not least, making the magic happen tonight, J.D.

Hello.

There he is, and here we are.

Well, that day of action was a lot more enjoyable than Friday's turd platter. We had some unbelievably drunk games today from the bubble,

and even this one that we were waiting on to finish to fire up the live stream here, the Mavericks

holding off the bucks in overtime

of course but they pulled it out 136 to 132 we'll get to Luca a little bit later with

whoa boy but he put up some stupid numbers you're shaking your head Lee what's wrong we can we even

these out a little bit so we can have a couple of these games on Friday and then a couple today. I mean, you know what? I went out this afternoon. I thought, I think I can probably just escape with getting away from a couple of games. And then you look at your phone and like, oh my God, I have to go back and watch all these games because it's like just incredible, incredible stuff, like just some wild finishes this afternoon. It was, I mean, it's great, but it's like, come on, man, what was yesterday then all about?

What's going on?

You're not wrong.

Yeah, the first two games of the day here Saturday were especially insane.

So we're actually going to play a little what you got.

What you got?

What's your got?
