The warriors are back, but we also should make jokes about being high. If you wanna do that. Oh, I thought you were going to say something about the agent's birthday, but yeah.

I'm not a drug guy. Have not partake in today. Might partake later on this afternoon, but I feel like it's when people go to the bar on like St. Patrick's Day and all the old drunks in the corner like this is a day for amateurs. It's professional. For 20s a day when real stoners, real gonja heads out there.

They're like not for me.

It's professional. You know, like for four 20s a day when real stoners, real real gonja heads out there. They're like not for me. It's legal everywhere. So it doesn't it's it's completely lost the allure from 15 years ago when it was like, oh, this is kind of cool. And they show the video from Boulder where they're just billowing clouds coming up. But yeah, I'm looking I'm looking forward to the early morning text that we'll get from Chris Long.

Just saying.

Yeah, you know, hey guys, we made another trip around the sun, happy birthday to all of us. That's what he sends us every 420. But yes, the warriors are back. I'd say that's the lead story. The warriors are back, maybe not for long, cause I just placed a future on them, but the warriors are back. Yeah, I think we called that right like we we're the warriors podcast. Nobody out there believes in the war isn't where they all forgot about the warriors. And they very quickly turned into the warriors that we all know and love. It was the third quarter warriors. Like that's that's what we've always said about the team, but actually last night's third quarter warriors. That was the best third quarter warriors of all time. There was awesome. It was like, they were incredible. It was some run where they scored, I think it was like 70 points in 19 minutes or something. Or maybe it was even more. It was crazy. We should note by the way, Hank and I are in Chicago for the dozen trivia. So we are not going to record after the games tonight. We'll be back to regularly recording after the games on Thursday. So we're going to talk mostly Monday games. We've got some great interviews for you. But yeah, that you're right, PFT. That was, that was insane what they did, what they put on. I do want to just, because we have, at times, flirted with being a nuggets podcast. And I want to say something for the nuggets fans out there because they're going through it. It sucks. I, everyone's bashing Joe Kitch because he's not been good in this series, but he also has no one on his team. And everyone's trying to take away his MVP case for this year. So I went and looked back because I was just curious because the MVP is a regular season award. How many times do you think in the last 20 years, the MVP in the NBA has won the title? It's like never. Right. So it's happened four times twice by LeBron, Steph Curry, and then Tim Duncan in the Oh three, 2002, 2003. Now how many times has the MVP lost in the first or second round of the playoffs in the season they've wanted. I think, wait, they've lost in the first or second round of the playoffs in their MVP season. I think it's a lot. I think it's probably like it's a little less than that, but it's seven times that that's happened. And like obviously their tea, their guys have gotten to the western Eastern conference finals. But my point being is that it's a regular season award and a lot of times the MVP of the season is the MVP because he dragged a team that probably shouldn't have been where they were in the playoffs to the playoffs and then they get there and much like what's happening right now with the nuggets. The Warriors are like, oh, you got one guy. Okay, that's not hard to stop in the NBA playoffs and you get this. And it's like dirt loss in the first round. Remember that year where he lost to the warriors. You had James Harden losing in the second round, Russell Westrick losing in the first round. So my, my, my long point here is I'm not taking away from the nuggets or theoke Itch the words are just really good and you can win an MVP Which you probably will has backed back MVP and that doesn't mean that you have the best team because that's just not what the award is Yeah, and I think that that Dirk series there were the number one seat overall right and they were playing against the eight-seed warriors So I agree with you I had the take that I thought the nuggets could make some noises this season, which I'm not going to back off of because I think I was right in a sense, but here's what I was right about. The team, when they're healthy, I think is still a legitimate title contender. So they're obviously missing Jamal Murray, they're missing Porter and Jamal Murray just came out today and said, I think he tweeted, you don't think I want to be out here. So like everybody that's saying Jamal Murray is the reason why he's not playing. He's saying, no, it's the team. I actually think what the nuggets are doing. This is right now. This is the season before the season. So this post season is, they kind of intentionally fucked up

their team by keeping two of their star players out.

People are gonna forget about the nuggets.

They brought in Buggie.

There's no better way to create just like a complete

disaster than having Buggie cousins on your team.

So what they're gonna do is after this season's over,

after this off season's over,

they're probably gonna get swept by the Warriors,

maybe steal a game, but they're going to get rid of boogie cousins. They're

going to bring back the two of their three best players. And then they're going to be like, thank God, boogie's not here. Now we're all ready to go from day one as a team. I think next season's nuggets, the day that that the NBA finals are over, I'm going to put a big on the next year's nuggets.

It's the season before the season.

Well, so I'm with you and everything you said,
