Welcome to LightEars.

A post-all-Star break light ears.

You know what I realized on our second half preview pod?

I forgot to ask you what was your prediction for their record to close out the season?

I did tweet out that my prediction was 18 and 9.

I thought they'd win twice as many games as they lose, which would put them at 21 and 10 in the post-Jimmy era, 46 wins.

It's neither here nor there. I felt like that prediction's

both ambitious and selling it too low. And when you see them against a team like the Sacramento

Kings in a game where, quite frankly, Steph was in more facilitator mode than anything they were selling out for him.

Jimmy, did he end up with 20 points?

It didn't feel like he was trying at all to score.

Quite frankly, trying pretty poorly in the first half.

17, sorry.

In a game where neither of those guys were really asserting their will as scoring options,

they controlled the game, 26 points, and it felt like a 30-point blowout majority of the game.

Sam, we are so fucking back.

We are so, so, so back.

And there's so many directions we can take this. I mean, Pots, Moody,

Steph, Buddy, Draymond, Jimmy, like everybody. It was a full team performance. That was an

absolute beatdown in a game that matters to both teams, like tied in the standings coming into

the night. And that was like you said, from the opening tip, basically.
