| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to group chat. I am Justin Varyer and joining me, Rob Mahoney, the great Rob Mahoney. Does that honorary title come |
| 0:24.1 | with like a sash or maybe like the key to the east side of Los Angeles? I think you have to |
| 0:29.4 | tell me because you literally just made it up. So what are you giving me? I've heard that on many a |
| 0:34.1 | podcast. Oh, come on. You're great. I am merely regular Rob Mahoney here to talk today |
| 0:39.9 | about some unfortunately irregular NBA teams, but it's that point in the season, Justin. |
| 0:44.4 | You know, we got to dispense with these teams that we're not going to be talking about for a while. |
| 0:48.2 | That's right. We're going to be talking about the Western Conference edition of our Say One Nice |
| 0:53.5 | Thing series. We did the Eastern |

| 1:25.0 | making a real run for MVP and is very proud of the fact that |
| 1:28.2 | he is very much in the thick of this race. We'll talk about that what, probably next week or the |
| 1:32.4 | week after we'll make her actual picks. My thing last night that really jumped out to me is |
| 1:37.3 | like I almost feel like I can't miss a Wembe game at this point. It's becoming very Steph Curry |
| 1:42.7 | prime like where it's like, this is appointment |
| 1:45.7 | viewing no matter who he's playing against. Yeah, I mean, he has something similar to Steph |
| 1:51.5 | in just a weird, counterintuitive way, where when you would watch Steph play, I would say, |
| 1:55.2 | especially when he's really cooking, whether that's in his prime or kind of one of these later |
