I'm doing great. Excited for the season. It's it's come up pretty quickly. Yeah, it really has especially for the Warriors

who played a game in September actually as did the nuggets of course on Saturday. Where I wanted to start with this team haven't had a ton of changes

but one obviously large one in Subbingen Paul Mills app essentially for General Gowner. He didn't change much aside from that.

But where I wanted to start is just how good they were with Nicola Yokech in the starting lineup on the floor

offensively because you could look to the beginning of last season when they were inexplicably bringing him off the bench

as what cost them a playoff birth. How were they so good when they had Yokech in the lineup offensively last year?

Yeah, well, it was interesting. They they played through him more and more beginning in December really the early parts of December

and then by mid December he was starting and they played through him mostly at the top of the key where he would just kind of go

back and forth through and dribble handoffs and it's it's kind of a simple reading react style of offense with just some

some basic principles. Malone would always talk about I don't call a lot of plays. I just let them kind of do their

thing out there on the offensive end and Yokech just orchestrated it so beautifully. He's great at you know shot selection first and

foremost. He's a terrific passer to cutters. But then he just knows kind of where the ball needs to go to create an

advantage whether it's a mismatch or whether it's to get the defense to rotate one time and then and then just the

nuggets. I think did a really good job as a team kind of exploiting once once the defense fell a step behind and

it was four straight months. This is what's so interesting about it was it wasn't a hot streak like we've seen teams get

hot for three or four weeks or or maybe a month and a half. It was four months where they really didn't have too

many bad offensive games. The offense was always there was so consistent but unfortunately also consistent was the

defense. Yeah. Yeah. That was not good at all. And I guess offensively before we turn to the defense of course that's

where I think Milstapp is expected to make a primary contributions is Yokech is not a guy that I think a lot of
