0:00.0	Hey, this is Kevin O'Connor on today's episode of the mismatch. Chris Vernon and I got into a bunch.
0:04.9	We talked about the unstoppable Utah jazz Ben Simmons going off in recent weeks. The Nix and the
0:11.6	Hawks going in opposite directions Phoenix. The Suns they're continuing to win a bunch of games.
0:17.5	80s injury, the drumming and Blake Griffin news. And of course, we also had to talk a little bit
0:23.0	about NBA Top Shot. There's a big story written about that. And ESPN that we discussed at the end of
0:28.0	the show. This is a really fun episode. All that's coming up next.
0:45.1	Welcome to the mismatch. I'm Chris Vernon. Joining me is he does every Tuesday for the Ringer.com.

1:49.9	a polar vortex as it were. And so I'm stuck inside hoping that the streets could get better,
1:58.0	but the temperatures got to get higher for it to get better. Yeah, it's not, it's not the life you
2:03.4	leave, the life you lead, which is just walk outside, shovel it. Streets are fine. Life goes on as
