You are locked on NBA, your daily NBA podcast, part of the locked on

podcast network, your team every day. Welcome everybody to your favorite day of the week.

I'm Anthony Erwin.

I'm joined by Adam Mattis.

Adam, do you think this show is going to go better than the last three on one break

that your Denveruggets at against the

Washington Wizards? I can't go worse. I don't even think it can go as bad so yes I
