Well, John, when we last talked, the trade deadline was so fresh in our minds.

And good to be back now.

A lot has gone down.

We're going to get to a discussion of contenders and pretenders and what we've seen in some of these teams that have been put together since the deadline.

Also want to talk a little Quinn Snyder being hired because I think

that's really just a fascinating turn of events. We haven't seen anything like this in a while.

However, we first must rule at least one team, maybe even two teams out of the playoffs.

We've ruled out, yeah, I think we get some work to do here because we've only ruled out seven, and obviously we'll have to rule out another seven.

So we've probably got to get two ruled out here.

All right, all right.

All right.

All right. This will get interesting because there's some injury issues.

I think we've certainly eliminated the low- fruits and also maybe some higher hanging fruit

that shouldn't have been eliminated. But to recap, you and I have eliminated the same teams

in the same order. So far, perhaps that will change this time. OKC, Houston, Detroit, San Antonio,

Charlotte, Orlando, and Indiana.

Last time we did this was February 1st.

So much has changed since then.

Would you like the first pick or the second pick?

I'm going to pick first.

I'm going to knock out the Chicago Bulls.

And the reason I'm going to knock them out is because Washington's, Washington winning that game last night in Atlanta was actually kind of huge.
