It wasn't great in person.

Honestly, it was worse in the rewatch.

I'm about to be the Grinch that stole Christmas.

Marion has joined as well. Glad to have you guys aboard. Hope that Discord, we can build up that Discord channel built into something really great. Sorry, I'm fiddling with my camera for those of you on YouTube. On today's show, we usually do late game watch. We're not going to do late game watch today, honestly, because I didn't get to late games. But we are going to look at clutch play around the NBA, which is pretty interesting. We're going to talk about the second year blues. And honestly, East Bailey is a little behind. The others. I don't know if he's behind his trajectory. And I've said numerous times, we don't care until October 2027, but I thought I'd just be honest about where he was. And he wasn't very good last night. And then we'll talk about the second year blues and our struggles against bad teams. I'm kind of the greatest of the whole Christmas today.

Hopefully you tuned into our broadcast last night because we actually had a great time. It was super fun. We got involved with the fans and had a great time. When we get blown out, we're still going to have a good time on the broadcast. All right. So this was not my intention. I did want to talk about the second year blues because I think they are happening. Isaiah has been really good recently, but I still think they exist.

And it's always what I've believed.

I went and rewatch the first quarter tonight, this morning. And what I really thought I was going to see was us missing a bunch of looks, game not going our way, Denver getting some momentum,

Denver then tightening the screws a little bit because they were on a 13-0 run and it's fun to just kick the crap out

of someone. I'll be honest, I didn't see that at all. I saw one team that was really physical to

start a game and another team that was really soft. And I saw one team that ran hard and another that didn't.

And these are all these little cliches. And I don't usually like fall into this. But honestly,

that's, I didn't see the New York game. If you remember, I did the kind of recap of the 23 nothing.

I was like, okay, we got a bunch of looks. it just didn't hit him. And then it spiraled.

I don't agree on this one.
