Hello, welcome to the collective podcast. We talk about the NBA. It's Thursday evening, about 1030 Eastern. Everybody's been traveling.

And we'll talk about that in a second, but joining us from the Bay Area, where he's out with some family.

And I believe going to Warriors game before his big weekend on the MVP, docket in Denver is Tim Bontems.

That's right, Brian. Warrior Sixers Friday, box Nuggets Saturday, Nuggets Sixers Monday, big weekend.

Big weekend in Denver.

Just off the arrow plane from Memphis, Tennessee, where he was at John Moran's redemption game on Wednesday night back in Dallas. It's Bay and McMahon.

Howdy partners windy. I wasn't able to get one of those hoodies for you, but we'll keep trying.

Alright, well, maybe they'll go into mass production. I'm at my mother's home in Akron, Ohio. So we head into a Cavaliers game over this weekend. Cavaliers, by the way, with a wild win on Thursday night. We'll talk to you about that.

But also on the road. And we need to get a report from our from our fine producer, Jackson, a Jello, who attended tonight's Nick's Mavericks, Nick's Mavericks, Nick's magic game at the Amway Center.

Jackson, the feet for your nicks, a lot now a three game losing streak, six of nine. What is your report from attending this, you know, magic victory, Cole Anthony, 18 points off the bench. What do you got?

I certainly got that down the stretch of that game. Mitchell Robinson certainly cannot guard when Delgard or junior kind of picking roll situation. And that it was about 70 30 nicks and the next fans did not go home happy.

That is for sure. And also the drummer. I would like to file a petition. I don't know who I need to work with on this. Or land, or magic, whoever is in charge of this.

To have a drummer who just consistently plays right where my seats were throughout the game at random moments. So so loud. There's music still playing as well. So it's a secondary music.

And that will haunt me for the rest of the night. I'm going to wake up in the middle of the night to him playing some smooth jazz as Julius Randall dribbles up the court to take a contested fade away.

I guess I guess Jackson didn't want us to see like the tear stains on his cheeks because he didn't pop on.

I didn't pop on with a video for our YouTube. He's not camera ready. He's you know, he's on. He was on VK. He's going down to see. I believe he's going to a Yankee spring training game.

I'm going tomorrow. Big big weekend for Jackson. And by the way, by the way, you mentioned this Cavs win earlier to go with this Nick's loss catastrophic week for the Cavs because the Miami Heat are zooming up the standings.

And if I'm the Cleveland Cavaliers, I do not want to be seen Jimmy Butler and Bam at a bio in the first round. And they this win over the nets today. These next loss to Orlando.

Miami beat in the next Wednesday night. This is all coming up Miami Heat this week. It's not good for the gaps.

I mean, I don't want to jump in on the USWB corner that McMahon has.

I'm just saying that was my first thought watching this game tonight. I was actually going to be a big win for the nets.

Yeah, it was an absolute. It was like the greatest moment of Isaiah.
