Hello, welcome to the Hooke Collective Podcast. We talk about the NBA, which we are doing on

Sunday evening at a reasonable hour. A. Life Grand.

Joining us from New York City,

although he was in Boston the last couple of days

talking to the Celtics

ahead of the NBA finals is Tim Bontem.

Today I was at the Caitlin Clark show at Barclay Center where the fever had a rather rough second

night of a back-to-back against a liberty. Didn't go great.

Well this is not a W. M. A show. We talk about the M. But boy, are they dragging the fever around the country? I am glad they have the charter, and I don't know if this is a typical in W. M. A schedule. I apologize, but my God, like,

she's on each coast like every two days.

Well, today's game for the fever

was the 11th game they've played this season in 20 days. The aces, the defending champs, have played six.

So they, uh, their schedule is a little compacted because there's a break for the Olympics later this year but they've had a very

rough go of it and they've also had to play a lot of really good teams and they

look like it because she looked very tired today. I get it. Joining us from Dallas, Texas, where it took

him two days to get there from Minneapolis after the Mavericks closed out on Thursday night and unfortunately more storms hit tonight,

Ban McMahon.

Howdy partners are to delay things.

I did have some unplanned manual labor, but hey, when you live in Texas, you probably got a neighbor with the

chainsaw and Mike down the street came through for me. We got it done lickety split as they say.

All right, very good. Well, it's not lickety split till the start of the NBA finals.

That will obviously be days from now, and we will have a lot of discussion about the finals coming
