This is the day more NBA podcast brought by Blue Wire podcast coming a Saturday morning.

It's November 26th.

because that was, as you just said probably I mean prisoner in the

moment but I thought Wednesday we'll get into this but I thought Wednesday's win against

Indiana was maybe the most complete game they've played under Chris Finch not just this year but
