We talk about the NBA, which we are doing on Tuesday evening.

Joining us from New York City, where I think he's got big plans for the rest of this week.

I don't remember where he's going, but it's always what I always say.

Tim Bontap.

Going to see Wolves Knicks on Wednesday when I think Anthony Edwards has a good chance

of making his return from his hamstring injury.

And more importantly, I'm glad that we've gotten the podcast started because I wish

people could have seen our guy, Van McMan, trying desperately to get his equipment to work in Los Angeles, on remote,

trying to cover games, traveling around the country, trying to get on the podcast.

He desperately needed the IT department.

The IT department is far away, and it was a struggle.

But we made it. respect uh tim tim mcm
