Hello and welcome to the Ranger NBA show.

It is the answer I'm your host Chris Ryan.

And this week we are asking did the net show us a new way to watch the NBA regular season this year?

So an amazing performance by the Brooklyn Nets against New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday.

It got me thinking, you know, we haven't talked about the nets in a while probably since the hard and trade and it seemed like we would do.

And Rob Mahoney from the Ranger run a really great piece this week about how the nets have been treating this season as a laboratory.

As an a place to experiment botactically but obviously with their personnel constantly shifting from derand's injury, hardens arrival, kairi's absences.

And the emergence of these incredible role players that they seem to have happened upon, you know, may have heard of like those guys like Blake Griffin and Marcos Aldridge.

What what feel good stories those are to see those role players.

The nets have just been trying stuff and I don't know that a lot of teams really do that.

You know, as a sixers fan, it's been an awesome season, but I don't really think that we have been experimenting very much.

Whereas when you look at Brooklyn and you look at all that they've had to deal with, but also all that they've chosen to take on.

It's a fascinating way to go through the regular season. I think a lot of coaches coach scared.

I think a lot of teams play scared or a lot of teams just get sort of settled with what they are and who they want to be.

And the nets haven't really done that.

So I wanted to talk to Rob about whether or not that was something that specifically only Brooklyn could do because of their talent or whether it was something that other teams should maybe think about.

And we also just wanted to have a general sort of like stand and slack jawed awe of this Brooklyn juggernaut conversation.

So let's get into my chat with Rob Mahoney.

Joining me back on the show. I think third or fourth time it's Rob Mahoney. What's up Rob?
