What's the word y'all? What's the word? What's the word? All right y'all know man welcome to the show. You know

we're trying a lot of things definitely man this week we wanted to do something live. There's a lot of

stuff going on in the NBA. Y'all know this I haven't been doing recaps because I wanted to do this

big old segment today. So we got a lot of things planned. We're going to talk playoffs. We're going to talk

Celtics. They're not in the playoffs though. Well, these things are going on. We got guests along the way. We're super excited. Let's just let's just get into it.

And that's a game.

So yesterday we had a historic performance by Damien Liller, one of the greatest playoff games I have ever seen. And today we're going to talk about that with our special guest Zach Hollins of the Portland

Trove ladies power for Senna combo. You do a little bit of everything. Welcome to the show. That.

Thanks for having me man. I appreciate it. Yeah, this is great man. I appreciate you taking the time. One of the first things we want I want to talk about is yesterday's performance because you aren't you aren't able to play right now.

Because you're going to injury and get back healthy. But what was it like in your arena to last day and do the things he did?

Yeah, I mean, I mean, I've been here for four years and the dude keeps surprising me.

The he just the the difficulty of the shots he's hitting and the pressure that's on his shoulders. And the fact that you know, you know, when you're a top player in his league, everybody's game plan against you every night.

You know, like it's it's you know, being a guy, you know, coming off the bench or just so you know, a role player, you know, they're game planning for you.

But you know, the the plan is to stop Damien Lilleur and CJ McCullum. So any and he's going out there and he's he's delivering like that and making it look really easy.

That's how you know, it's not easy. It's it's amazing. It sucks that we didn't get to win though. I know I know him. Yeah, that's all he's worried about. So all that doesn't mean anything to him unless we get the win. So.

But it was amazing to watch.

What's your progression like everyone knows you've been sitting out doing injury. We saw it. You were getting some shots out before last game. So do you have a time table?

Um, for me personally, it's just it's from the beginning when we redid this, you know, when I refraction my ankle back in.

Uh, janker December.

It was going to be a four to six month process. So we're coming up. I think I might like five close to five and a half months now. So.

Um, you know, in that six month, the six month mark is more of a time life for me to to come out and start playing against contact and all that. So six month isn't isn't a hard time for me to, you know, come back. It's more of just a baseline for OK. Now we can start, you know, rampant things up on the court and going up against defenses and whatnot. So that's where I'm at.

So I want to kick it back to 2019 because you guys want to know a crazy run to the conference finals and then y'all did meet the Denver Nuggets on that run. Of course, you plan against them again right now. You got some OK experience. Garden. Yoke is probably the league MVP. So what are you guys talking about in the locker room when it comes to guarded the cold.
