I want to jump right into this. I know we got beach stepping later. Got some great questions from you guys out there yesterday. and we got tweeted the night, but there were 12 games on last night.

No shortage of scoring holy crap 10 out of the 24 teams that

played scored at least 130 points and ziller ghostface ziller himself said the average score across 12

games was 125 to 119. The average, which is a lot

of scoring. So let's do some drafting here. Picking two rounds each, six games total from the

12. TK, you get the number one pick. Which game are you drafting from last night as a favorite or memorable for whatever reason?

Well, there's only one game that was truly a national game last night.

Well, I guess maybe two.

But there was definitely one.

The Bulls and the Knicks were on ABC.

On Wednesday?

Out of nowhere.

In January?

In 2024? Not 1992? Yeah. That did not make any sense to me, but cool to see. Kind of a fun game. I'd give it about three stars. The Bulls forced a lot of turnovers in the first half, hit a bunch of threes, and then they ran out of gas. I thought in the last 10 minutes of this game is the second night of a back-to-back,

but really the Knicks All-Star duo, I think we could say, of Julius Randall and Jalen Brunson really put this game away. 35 for Randall, 31 for Brunson, they combined to score 20 in the fourth quarter to really slam the door shut. And it was a real dichotomy of man situation. It was either Julius Randall hitting the toughest shots you've ever seen or Jalen Brunson hitting the easiest shots you've ever seen.

They go together so perfectly.

Randall takes so many tough shots.
