Welcome.

Welcome, one and all, to Light Ears.

Andy Liu?

Yes, I'm here.

I am officially, like, there's one more preseason game, but tonight was the night where I'm like, I'm right for the regular season to start. I'm ready for the regular season to start. I'm not saying anything wrong about the preseason, but, you know, you need like a two to three of these games. And then it's like, all right, enough of this. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it. That's not to say there aren't good things to talk about after tonight, but I officially got that itch. I don't about you. I officially got the itch. I watched Steph Curry go for 30 in like 10 minutes and I'm just like, yeah, I'm ready to go, dude. He's ready to go. I'm ready to go. I'm with you all the way, man. It's like the NFL where the NFL, I feel like,

just keeps deleting preseason games and just like keeps adding on regular season games.

Since the NBA will never delete regular season games, should we just take out half these

preseason games and just throw it on, make it an 85 game regular season or something. I'm

with you. I'm ready to go. Next week this time. I'm ready. I mean, the Warriors are, they're both taking the preseason seriously, which I appreciate.

They want to get off to a good start. But there's also that, you know, last on Sunday, no

Steph, no Horford, tonight, no Dremont, no Jimmy either game. He's got an ankle tweak from everything that we've heard about it.

It seems more like a precautionary thing, although, you know, it's always like, we know

they're an older roster.

So anytime I hear anything, I'm like, ah, here we go, you know.

But it does, it does kind of get to your point of, you know know it's not a full NFL preseason where you don't

see CMC or Trent Williams just like even put on a helmet you know but it's like kind of like that

either way uh yeah this felt like the game where stuff was like I'm I'm gonna push myself a little bit

just to make sure I got my legs. I'm physically where I want to be. And he looked amazing. There are some other cool things. But like, yeah, my takeaway from this is these dudes are ready for that go season. I think so. This is, I'll keep going back to it. I think there are some things I am concerned about, but the positive stuff is they're as, um, they're as locked into playing, uh, with real intensity right off the bat.

Like, they're not going into the season saying, well, you know, we'll figure it out by game 30.

Like, we'll figure it out by the trade deadline.

Maybe we'll make something happen.
