I'm glad we still got some energy up, end of the week. I'm just going to say this. This might be our best dressed episode of the season. I feel like everybody did something instead of like, you know, usually as one or two people, maybe some sweats, yada, yada, yada. I feel like we all, you know. Mike pulled out out the Blackhawks joint he can't name two blackhawks

0:53.2

undershirt on but then it looks too big because I'll have all oversized teas. You got to get the little shirt. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Welcome back to numbers on the board. We got you off the mic. We do. I want to give y'all some teams, and I want you to tell me who is the biggest X factor for this team's success. But starting off with the Rockets, who we seen last night.
