Hello and welcome to the Hoop Collective Podcast. We talk about the NBA, which we're doing on Thursday afternoon, joining me from New York City. He's all excited to see the Detroit Pistons

face the New York Knicks tonight at the Gardens, Tim Bonteps.

Well, probably not quite as exciting as to the in-season tournament finale the other night.

True, and it might have been a little hangover effect because the Kings got walloped by the clippers,

although the clippers did play well in that game, but kind of a tough ass to play back to back after that exciting one.

Congrats to the Kings. They will be here.

Fox played great. Everybody else did not. Yeah yeah he had 40 but best game for Kauai of the season and best game for James Hardin as a clipper.

Joining us from Dallas, Texas, bringing the positivity as always,

band McMahon.

Howdy, partners, it is a kind of a chilly, drizzly day,

but I've got sunshine, umpt in through my veins veins it's all sunshine and

affadils I said affadils we're still looking for a little bit of dee around here

but listen boys there's nothing like a profane public peck talk from a Hall-Thamer, who is a coach, to, you know, turn your

outlook around, so I'm really looking forward to this pod today boys.

You've had some good lines.

Affidels might be one of your best.

That was pretty good.

Thank you.

Yeah, I mean, by the way,

enjoy compliments.

I don't, I'm not trying to throw any shade. The Maverig. the Mavericks missed the playoffs last year in fact gave up what raised the white flag

because they were unable to perform in the clutch.
