Jeff Passin, we're going deep, we're talking baseball, just two baseball guys hanging out,

this weekend and life advice

0:44.7

I do a little tails from the couch. I'm not going to get to a million games here. I want to get to what I thought was important from last night. The most important thing and yes teams are missing

0:53.8

players but the most important thing was Jane Lynn Green with the Houston

0:56.8

Rockets last night. He was incredible we're going to spend some time on it. So no

2:00.1

He's flirting with a 50,-40 and 90 shooting split month.

2:04.8

When he gets an undersized body, like as good as A-Man is on defense and his instincts and his

2:10.8

athleticism, obviously he's a better defender already than Janine Green, but like even if there are these
