All right, one of the heavy hitters for a heavy hitting team is coming on here.

Michael Schwartz of ESPN. How you doing, man?

I'm doing great, Nate. Always good to be on here.

Yeah.

One more fun to talk about them than the first times we started doing these.

That's true. That's true, though.

I mean, that loss in game seven, obviously. I mean, that's got a linger.

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

A little bit. I mean, I don't want to get two sidetracks.

We're going to talk about this year.

But, you know, I think it is important to go back and look at what it was that

fell. This sun's team that I think for many was the championship favorite right

up until the end of the first quarter of game seven against the Mavs.

I thought, you know, I talked about with linger afterwards.

Like, it was basically to me, I couldn't remember a more shocking game in all of NBA history.

It must have just been like a crazy feeling.

But I guess maybe now because everyone is back again, like, you felt like, oh, man,

they can't bring the same team back. Like, they're going to have major changes.

I'm glad that they brought everyone back.

I'm glad that in the end, they didn't totally overreact to this.

Uh, that loss.

Oh, yeah. Completely agreed just from the standpoint of the big question mark
