Hello and welcome to the game theory podcast from your host Sam Vassini.

We're presented by CLNS Media.

Today on the show, Deeter Curtinbach is here.

We are going to go through every game one in the NBA playoffs. We're going to

basically look at it through the lens of the team that lost and how panicked they should be.

We're going to rate every team on a scale of zero to five in terms of what their panic meter

level should be at. Dieter, how you doing? I'm personally at a panic level of about two,

but that seems to be more or less my normal levels.

I never really go below a two,

and I hope I never go above a four,

but that's for other people to determine.

I'm doing fine.

I feel like a two is, it's a good number for you, typically.

Well, you know, we all like to view ourselves in the most optimistic

light. I would say I'm at like a two as well right now. Maybe a one even. Like I would say a week

ago when I was traveling for the Final Four and when I was traveling up to Hoops Summit and everything,

I was like at a solid three five. Right. Yeah. That's just that's just life on the road, not having your shit around you, not having,

you know, Laura in your life, like just kind of being out there and vulnerable.

Yeah. And like, my dog has like a sprained, like, left leg right now. That's, that's a half

point right there. So that's, you know, it's just a little small thing right now.

It's going on in my life.
