All the way to 100K. All the way to 100K. Maybe not. But we'll see. We'll get there maybe at some point. Let's talk about MLK Day because that is the day that is coming up in the league. It's an important day, obviously, for many reasons. but it's an important day from a basketball perspective just because it's one of these best watching days across the whole season. With nine games on, again, it used to be more. I'm glad they cut it back. I hate a 12-game day, as you're well aware. I feel like it does the whole league and the players a disservice to have so many games on at once because you can't watch them. We've got games though that start, the first game is starting at 1pm Eastern in Atlanta, Milwaukee and Atlanta.

1:54.3

All right, that's the first game. Then we go to a 230pm game, Oklahoma City in Cleveland.

2:18.1

And then we have a 3pm Eastern game, Clippers in Washington. Then we have 5pm game, 5. Eastern. We've got Dallas at the Knicks and the Jazz at the Spurs. And then we've got a 7pm game. The paces at the sixes, a 7.30 p.m. Eastern game, the Suns and the Nets, an 8 p.m. Eastern game. The Celtics and the Pistons. And finally, we've got a 7 p.m. Pacific game, which is the Miami Heat and the Golden State Warriors. So a lot of games all starting next to each other and then a two-hour gap at the end between the tip off of Boston, Detroit and Miami Golden State. But much like you had to do for Sunday, we had to set your lineups at midday Eastern. You've got to set them before 1 p.m. Eastern on Monday. So two early starts in a row, Bucks and Hawks starting at 1 p.m.

2:36.9

Eastern, you've got to be on top of that. Otherwise, your line up, depending on your settings, might be locked, especially if it's a weekly league. That is a key thing. If you're in a weekly league and your line up locks, and you don't get it done by 1pm yet cooked. You're in real strife. So make sure you're getting that sorted again. I will bang this drum for you.

2:51.7

1pm, you're cooked. You're in real strife. So make sure you're getting that sorted again. I will bang this drum for you. 1pm. 1pm Eastern start. Get your lineups

2:57.7

locked before 1pm on Monday for MLK Day. And then we get back to a regular schedule after that.

3:04.9

Let's go into these games and talk about a Bucks Hawks. Last time the Hawks played

3:08.3

Dyson Daniels also was not available along with Posingas and Rissachay now. Pusings and Rissacet been out for about four or five games now. But what happened with Dyson Daniels out is C.J. McCollum, moved into the starting life and he continues to hijack this team. I cannot stand the way at C. Jim McCullen plays, and I haven't been able to stand the way C.J. McCollum plays

3:23.7

since he left Portland, basically.

3:26.1

I just, I don't get it.
