Let's talk about this basketball game, shall we?

Like I said, I made a list of 10 things, which I'm going to get into in a minute.

But it was just, look, it was good to see the team out there.

You know, I think their media day was over a week ago.

Yeah, it was like a week and a half ago.

It was 10 days ago.

So it's been a lot of buildup.

There's been a lot of anticipation. There's been some more, I won't even call them rumors.

I mean, who knows if it's actually a real injury.

I would be willing to bet that it is not.

And that this was all about getting piquem.Darie a chance to play with the best talent on the roster, a chance to make him look good,
