All right, welcome on to Hollinger and Duncan week three already in the NBA season.

Pretty ridiculous to think about that.

But we got a lot to get to.

We want to talk about whether some of the teams that are struggling.

Is it time to panic for them?

And also want to get into John's piece.

He hit the road for the first time in a while in an NBA arena.

I'm going to talk about that.

He spent some time in Memphis with the Grizz.

And also, sadly, I know for John, because it really depresses him.

We must rule a team out of the playoffs.

Once again, how are you doing, man?

I'm doing great.

Yeah, had a good trip back to Memphis.

It was actually my first time back there as a civilian, so it was kind of interesting and fun.

And it was my first, so I've been on a couple trips, but it was my first regular season NBA game since March of 2020.

So that was fun.

Yeah, well, especially with those Memphis seats.

Was it slightly annoying that the media there gets better seats than you probably got as an executive? Those are better seats than my actual seats for the games when I work there. Yeah, don't get me

wrong. I had great seats in the lower bowl and whatnot. But that press seat in Memphis, when it's available, is probably like one of the top three or four seats you can get in the league.

Really, I guess Phoenix, maybe one or two other places still give you that kind of seat, but it's pretty rare these days.

All right.
