And now the low welcome to the low post podcast on a Monday afternoon, a lovely Monday afternoon

here on the East Coast where it was another strange and interesting weekend in the National

Basketball Association.

We focused on the East at the end of last week with the great doors.

Burke, we're going to go west this week, which means it's time for Tim McMahon.

How you doing, sir?

How do you partner doing all right?

It is always a pleasure to jump on here.

A wonderful forest green background.

Just love the forest green background.

I got the same color in my office.

It's a great color.

Dark and evocating, I'm told, it's the actual color.

Oh, excuse me.

It might surprise you know that I did not have anything to do with the color choice,

but it is nice.

I chose to choose the color for this room, this one.

You got that one room.

No further comment will be made on that.

The biggest story that we can obviously was not really a basketball story, although

it affects a basketball team that is currently number two in the Western Conference with

I thought legitimate hopes of making a long run.
