Okay, today's podcast we're going to do a few different things as we always do.

0:12.9

Most important thing we talk about tomorrow, Hamlin.

0:14.9

We don't have any new updates as of the taping of this podcast, but we are going to talk

0:18.7

about Dominique Foxworth who was positioned, I think, great to be a great resource on this topic.

0:24.6

Downloading is a former player, also a medium member, but the former president of the

0:27.9

Players Association. So we'll do that probably 30 plus minutes.

0:30.8

Tales of the couch, a bunch of NBA stuff about 20 minutes on that, and we finish with Life Advice.

0:36.8

We started this podcast with Tales of the Couch, Light Schedule, Light and B.A.2s tonight.

in the NBA, but there's some weird stuff going on with the offense. It's been happening most of

1:16.2

December. I don't know what the deal was after that Phoenix win that was so impressive. They

1:20.0

go into their place. Granted, you could say, oh, it's them getting off this road trip.

1:25.9

And like a lot of teams that are really good, it could just be, this is their bad stretch. Maybe

1:31.2

one of their two bad stretches. I mean, it happens. We try to point this out all the time, the pod.

1:35.6

But it feels a bit like the offense has gotten stuck here during the stretch of these last 12

1:42.4

games. So, Oklahoma City has 74 at the half. They're like, okay, they'll get back into this one.

1:46.9

And then the Thunder scored 76 in the second half. That normally doesn't happen.
