Hello, welcome to the Hoop Collector Podcast. We talk about the NBA which we're doing on

Sunday afternoon. Joining us from New York City, Tim Bontas.

Hello everybody.

Joining us from Dallas, Texas, where the Mavericks continue to confound, they win games they

should lose and lose games they should win, is Van McMahon.

Howdy partners? I drew the wrath of that pesky little pelicans' fan-based last night because

I mentioned a week before the game that they were punting, which I did not think was an offensive term for a team that was sitting out its three highest paid players and as well as Tray Murphy the third on a back to back that was totally brutal didn't get to the hotel until 435.

And there was some angry pelicans folks that,

team social media accounts were mocking me,

doing the old alternating capital and lowercase letters.

I mean, whoa, tell you what, Jordan Hawkins wasn't punting baby.

He was, he was lighting it up. Rising Stars candidate Jordan Hawkins.

Just anecdotally, there's been some wild schedule situations

over the last seven to ten days,

and I'm not sure it has to do with the

the rash of blowouts but I would expect that it would but just this

concept that the you know it you should never have, you should never play it back to back when you go east. Never.

And especially when you are pushed back and it's our company, but when you're pushed back and so it's a later tip to normal because it's a national TV game like they were in Denver

Whereas we all know the airport is on the other end of the earth.

At the end of a long road trip.

And then on the other side of it, now this was going west, but you had the Bucks getting to play the Celtics the Celtics now you forget about the

overtime game but you know I actually personally think that Florida to the Northeast road trips are a little bit ridiculous on back to back so somebody used to live in Florida.
