Is Felgrin-Maz your favorite afternoon show?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

How do you feel about how the team's playing Saram since Jason Tatum came back?

I think they're playing a good ball.

I love the ball movement.

I love the way you really see the difference in Tatum's playmaking when it comes to passing.

In that Cavs game, he was making some great passes, Derek White. I love the way they were going to the basket, even against the Spurs. Even with Wimby there, Derek White and Jason Tatum were getting layup after layup on him. And you can tell, I'm not the biggest Wimby fan. But they were getting to the basket. They were making the right plays. And I came away from that game. Like, yeah, if they had Vucevic and Peyton Pritchett, a full roster, they would have smoked the Spurs. And one thing I say about the matchup, the Spurs, Detroit teams like that, this is their top gear. Teams that are always trying to prove themselves in the NBA that weren't good the previous year, they max out early and they don't have a different gear to go to. That's the best you're going to see the Spurs play. Same thing with Detroit. That's why you see them all of a sudden coming back down. Like, man, what's going on? They lost four in a row, whatever it is. Because they maxed out. The good teams have gears. They have levels they can go to. Playoffs start, they can take it to another level. I think that Celtic team with a full roster against the Spurs team, they can go somewhere the Spurs can't. And you kind of saw it a little bit in that game. Darren Fox, was he 9 out 11? Wimby hitting all the threes. They won that game. They were short-handed. But I think the Celtics, I think they're playing good ball and they'll be even better with

I was less than impressed with the Spurs.

Yes, Jim?

Yeah, I was going to see him. I wanted to know what you thought of that landscape of the East because I'm not afraid of any of these teams. Even Detroit at one. I just feel like they're that. They're like the Celtics that year they ended up going to losing the finals of the Warriors.

They're just too young.

Yeah.

I mean, I would compare them to the Celtics team that had like Isaiah Thomas.

Didn't happen. that year they ended up going to losing the finals of the warriors they're just too young yeah i mean i i i would compare them to the seltics team that had like Isaiah thomas didn't have a lot of talent

but you had one guy for some reason leading them to 50 wins and getting them further than the playoffs

dropping 50 on john wall whatever it was i put them in that category same thing in the east i don't

trust i don't trust the Knicks.

I don't trust Detroit.

Everybody else is kind of banged up. But your biggest issue is going to be in the West. And I think it's the one team I'm scared of is not even a team. It's the one player. It's Yokic. Yokic has been the best player in the NBA. He's the best basketball player in the world. and I think he has been for almost a decade.

That guy is just on another level of basketball. You can't. has been the best player in the NBA. He's the best basketball playing in the world, and I think he has been for almost a decade.

That guy is just on another level of basketball. You can't stop him. You fear the Nuggets more than O'KC. Yeah, that one guy, he makes every... When they have their full roster, when Gordon's playing, Murray, when they're healthy, he just makes everybody look like an all-star. and the dudes never played with an all-star in this career.

Do you think they played differently since Tatum came back?
