You are locked on the nba,

locked on the nba, part of the locked on podcast network.

Welcome everybody to your favorite day of the week.

I'm Anthony Erwin.

This is Lockton NBA.

I am not joined by Adam Mattis.

He is out for the next couple weeks.

But Sam Amick who has been on the show with me a cut once before

has been nice enough and and flexible enough to come on here and hop on for the next couple weeks.

Sam, thank you very much for hopping on, especially given how late we're talking right now.

No problem at all, Anthony.

Thanks for having me on.

I assume you are watching that

double-o-t game like I was with San Antonio O-KC so a little late night action but

good to be with you. It's so I mean we everybody says this all the time but on any given

night it just feels like the NBA seems to deliver at this point it makes for a

really fun viewing experience for everybody.

Yeah, I mean that was something else.

That was one where if I could have hit the magic button and you know and had a

turbo jet to San Antonio to be courtside for that thing it would have been fun to be there because I mean that crowd

especially you feel like Spurs fans right now that it's a little bit like it's all gravy because I think they thought that the year was was kind of just a waste through when the injury bug hit him like it did and they've actually got a fun thing going these last couple weeks and so you could feel that energy coming through that

crowd and you know okay see you know how it is like none of us necessarily have rooting
