Chris, are you surprised that Zaslow is already wandering over toward hockey away from where it is that the heat used to play meaningful basketball games and has dismissed the NBA playoff so far as a dud, even though we've had like four minutes of NBA playoffs?

Surprise he's watching playoff hockey if I'm being real.

Yeah, you seem pretty strong in your opinion that he hadn't paid attention to hockey until the Panthers were good. It's most unfair narrative. I wasn't saying that. I was just saying that normally this time of year, he wouldn't be checking out the entirety of the hockey landscape. So it's exactly what you said. Yeah, no, he had to actually watch the playoffs before the Panthers got good.

I understand that, but when the Panthers, the last two years, were at the top of everything, he's watching the games with an intensity.

Like, we are aware, correct, that at his age when he's complaining about having to stand for five hours at a UFC event and needs to be in bed at 930,

that that person can't watch both playoffs with the same intensity.

You have to choose which one you prefer.

It's not possible to watch all of it.

It's not humanly possible to have kids a life and watch all of it.

I mean, I spent a lot of time on the couch in the Zaslo Mansion family room this weekend, Dan, if we're being completely honest. Yeah, YouTube multi-view. That's been a lifesaver. Got the multiple TVs, and then WrestleMania gets going in the evening, it becomes tough to watch three things at once. But I took a gander at the hockey, much to your amusements apparently. Do you like it? Yeah, you know, it's a sport I might be able to get into. You've dismissed basketball after two days. Well, hold on a second. Guy doesn't love ball. It's very easy to see. He likes puck now, he doesn't like ball. It's okay. Hold on a second. When the NBA opening weekend gives you eight games, four on one day,

for the next day, and one of them was compelling. Dan, it's fair for me to say it's been a dud.

Come on. It's fair for me to say that we just got started. We don't do these measurements

two days, three days at a time. Is one of eight a good percentage? You had a big upset. It happens, you know, fairly frequently. That was the one. Well, I mean, I can make the argument that is immediately after Tony said that the Orlando Magic were a joke, that they did the two most impressive things I've seen done in the entirety of the playoffs, both of them, because the way they took out Charlotte, like,

it's been a long time since I saw an NBA team play defense like that, where Charlotte, you talk about a team that wasn't ready for any of that and just decided, oh, playoff basketball, I'm going to keep shooting threes from over here.

It was awful.

The team that knocked out that finished the heat season got had all sorts of trouble

getting the ball to the free throw line. They were having trouble getting the ball over

half court. It's been a long time since I've seen a team shut out like that on a good

offensive team shut out totally by a defense. This is who we thought the Orlando magic

were going to be when they got Desmond Bain

in the beginning of the season.

We're like, wow, Orlando could be a sneaky, interesting team in the East. And all of a sudden, I say that they're a joke clown franchise, and then they go on a great run of winning two massive games and then beating the pistons. Like, what's going on here? You're more wrong about that or Con Canipal? No, I'm right about con canipal.
