Oh, yes.

Man, a little off day in between two preseason games.

Yesterday, I still have things that you want.

And first time getting to rewatch the game.

Oh, this is your first rewatch the three season?

Because the first two were not in arenas that, like, are able to capture them for rewatch. They don't have the sport VU tracking cameras set up. So I wasn't able to go back, but I was able to go back on this one. Might have a little episode of the list. Kail and I got to work on right after this. So that should be up here shortly. Today's show though, stock report, not on players necessarily, on ideas, on concepts, which I think will make for a good show. We're also going to go around the association. Nice. Because there are some teams Harrison that might suck that I didn't think would suck. And there's some teams that might be good that I didn't think will be good. So we'll update our around the association. I got Harrison one with me. I'm still so high off last night's game, man. I'm straight-vibing. Like, I said last night, the most fun preseason game I can remember. I can't remember that many. But right now it's at the top top of the list so i brought this up on the show before that every game you talk about how long will you remember it there's certain games you'll remember for the rest of your life yes there's some games you'll remember for 10 years but you might not remember them you know too long some just for the season they go away do you think after every game we should try to like rank it on a scale of how long we'll remember? Oh, I actually that would be a fun segment like just one through 10 when do you think you'll forget this? No, you should give it an actual amount of time because like do you remember the game in Atlanta last year? No exactly. That's my point. There are games that you just don't remember. Shit, was that like a Jamal 40 piece or something? It might be, but I'm saying there are some games that just kind of come and go. Last night's game, this one might be one we remember for weeks for a preseason game. On a preseason sliding scale, this is high. We're going to remember it for weeks, I think. But let's go, Kail, straight to the hangover. Do you mind? Let's get our hangover going here. To your point, I am trying to think about this. Last night's game was legitimately fun. A lot of people were saying it, not just us. But I also am trying to figure out how much of it was fun versus how much of it is. We're just excited about our Nuggets, man, in the season. And that was the first, like, felt like a real, you know, they put in enough stuff that it felt real. Yeah. It was the first time we saw what this new defense could look like. It was the first time we saw what the actual rotation

would look like with the second unit. We got so many things last night. Big Val and Yokic

playing together. We got that. We got it. Check. We got what the second unit is kind of going to

look like. You know, we got Yoke and Murray having some big moments. Christian. We got everything

that we kind of wanted to see. They were also playing the Clippers, who were playing all their guys too. They were playing hard as well, man. So it felt real. The first couple of preseason games just felt like training camp, just felt like a scrimmage almost. This actually felt real. Man, I was listening to our buddy Ryan Blackburn as I was driving in today to his show. And he brought up a point that I hadn't thought of because it's so silly. But also, I think, accurate. The first game was played at Pachanga Stadium in San Diego, not a real arena. Very clunky. You go in there, like, if you're an NBA player, man, that locker room was the size of a closet it doesn't feel real there's no like jumbo tron and stuff then they go to vancouver i don't know what rogers arena really was like because we weren't inside it but it's not a real NBA arena it doesn't have all the bells and whistles last night was into it noamome. And I do wonder, he brought this point up.

Shout out to Blackburn. I do wonder if that for the players even felt a little bit more like,

okay, we're not in some rundown warehouse. We're in an actual NBA arena. They all love that

arena. The Intuit Dome. Yeah, the Intuit Dome. There's always videos of like whenever a player runs into Balmer,

court side or something. I remember the one with Devin Booker. He's like, this is a great arena, Mr. Balmer. Oh, Mr. Balmer. I don't know if that's what they call them. Mr. Balmer. I don't know. But all the players seem to love it. Yeah. So I could see it. I could see them getting up for it because of that.

I love the idea.

Did you see, by the way, this is, I didn't plan on bringing this up. seem to love it. Yeah. So I could see it. I could see them getting up for it because of that.

I just love the idea.

Did you see, by the way, this is, I didn't plan on bringing this up, but was it

Richard Jefferson maybe two weeks ago where he was like, I've talked to a lot of

players about the Steve Ballmer.
