Four o'clock. Nice to have you as we turn our attention a little bit. I know tomorrow's

0:05.1

the lottery. We tried this routine with the Red Wings and Connor Bedard and, you know,

0:10.4

I will bring this up tomorrow in a longer format. If you don't think this stuff matters,

0:15.1

you think we overdo it. Well, you know, there's plenty of good players. The Chicago Black

0:19.2

Hawks have sold over $3 million in season tickets in the first 24 hours of not even having

0:24.8

the player, but just winning the lottery. Why does it matter? Because we have a dead franchise

0:29.9

that plays at LCA. The Detroit pistons are a dead franchise. No direction, no future.

1:29.6

or the guys players help coaches, too. You know, I'm talking about who the guy is.

1:35.8

Monty Williams is not liked around the league. He's loved his players love him, not the

1:43.0

Andreate and but everybody else. Monty Williams gives you something to hang your hat on.

1:52.1

Monty Williams is an offensive head coach. This back court of Cade and Jade Nivey, it can't

1:59.4
