We haven't done this before, have we?

0:03.2

Not mid-season.

0:04.5

We did a wins draft a couple years ago before the season as a way to replace the over-under pod.

0:12.0

And so instead, we did a draft with me, you, Jeremy, and Chris, where we each took, I believe, let's see, 30 divided by four is seven.

0:21.8

So we each took seven teams and then there was two non-taken teams.

0:26.5

And they both ended up with the worst two records in the NBA.

0:29.1

And we then calculated wins throughout the year.

1:13.7

wrinkle into my research of looking at schedules that made this kind of fun.

1:18.7

So I'm curious how this goes.

1:22.3

As am I, I just want to point out that like first have, the first half, like, what we've seen so far is, if history is any indication,

1:35.1

certainly not, uh, necessarily a predictor of what may could maybe happen in the second half.

1:43.7
