Hello, welcome to the Whoop Collective podcast. We talked about the FDA, which we are doing on Thursday afternoon joining me from Boston, Massachusetts is Tim von Tempz.

Howdy everybody.

And joining me from Dallas, Texas is band, McMahon.

And that's a trademark on Howdy. Okay. You don't see Howdy in Boston. The hell you. I'm not from here. So you don't say Howdy in upstate New York. Do not be originally do my Howdy trademark.

Definitely do. Definitely do say Howdy up there.

Far country.

He's still spent more time in New England than you, Bontowns. Just want to point that out. That is true. That is true.

All right. So we're a week into the NBA season. We'll over a week in the NBA season.

I can't believe it. But I've already been in five NBA arenas already this year. It's crazy. It's terrific. I'm pleased about it a lot. So still too early to really form any iron clad beliefs, of course.

There's stuff going on that I want you guys opinion on about whether this is something to something to pay attention to or just a little blip. And I want to start with James Harden and his dramatic fall off and scoring.

And he's played five games. So let's just keep that in mind. But he is only only averaging 16 and a half points a game. Obviously, if you've been paying attention at all to the league, you've seen that his free throw numbers have crashed.

He's only getting the line three times a game. And he's the poster boy for the new rules. I talked about this on my pod. A little bit earlier this week.

But I want to know, you know, you know, you know, I'm well, McMahon.

You know, he, I went back. I was pretty sure he said this. So I went back to actually stay and listen, because I was at next media day.

And he said his hamstring was 100%.

But then he said yesterday that he's still getting into form because he was obviously recovering as opposed to training in the off season. Although I remember hearing plenty of, oh, he's going to be much better this year than he was last year sort of stuff.

He is pointing toward form. And I'm sure that that's true. But what do you make of his, by the way, the nets who last year were the number one offensive team of all time, all time.

And they only had seven games with their big three together. So it wasn't just based on that when they had two of the three throughout the season, they were dominant too.

So we're talking about still a juggernaut offensively right now coming into tonight's games. And I know you're going to see swings right now. They're 21st in offense five games in.

They're actually card an NBA comms offensive rating. They are tied for 27th with the juggernaut offensive team that is the Oklahoma City Thunder.

You are and I had that number confused just 27 and goodness, Bayesley dunk there to pad that offense right there. And there. By the way, Russell Russell Westbrook, the the NBA's guide for stat patting the etiquette. I love it.

Give me a break.
