Welcome to Michigan Hockeycast 8.7, where we have a whole lot of goals to dissect.

We're going to dissect. All right, we are recording a day late.

Maybe not a dollar short.

I'm not sure about the money.

I'll have to check your wallet.

Well, you got a lot of cash on you, don't you, Alex?

Because you just returned from a trip.

And we may need to talk about it, but I have one question that you have to answer.

Are the NBA Cup courts as awesome as they appear to be?

The Brooklyn Court was just kind of gray. It wasn't really a very flashy court. Well, that's boring. Yeah. I mean, you've looked at all the courts, I presume. I mean, the story of this year was the Timberwolves Court. With the, like, the lime green? That's amazing. It was like so bright it was glowing. Did they plug it in?

So you, but you drew like, would you argue that's like a bottom two or three court for the NBA Cup? Probably. Was it still cooler than most floors? Um, I mean, it was interesting. Did you get any good pictures of it? Like, did you get to walk down and, did you go early and, like, walk down and...

No, there was, um, there was a, like, a skirmish on the, in the court side seats. Oh. Which was interesting. Between patrons? I think so. But they were the people sitting in the seats, like, right next to the Pistons bench. Oh. So then the Pistons Benjolt jumped up.

So were they fighting beef stew?

No, they were just, I don't know what happened.
