Maybe they had the seventh worst, eighth worst

winning percentage in the NBA.

It improved their opportunity to get one of these superstar, potential superstar players coming out of the NBA draft, and that's all well and good, but it's not fun to sit there for 48 minutes of basketball, two and a half hours a night with all of you, and call it every time that they turn the ball over.

Do you really want us to cheer, so to speak, when they turn the ball over for the 14th time that night?

That's not a fun way to go about this job.

When these guys are on the floor and they've made it

fairly clear that Billy Donovan's trying to win games and the players on the floor are not trying to lose because they're, as we've talked about ad nauseum, a lot of them are fighting for jobs.

A lot of them are fighting for contracts.

A lot of them are fighting to get experience.

They're not going to try to lose games purposefully.

So it's an interesting dynamic to sit there.

And by the way, it's easier, I would say as a fan, because if you do want this team to lose games, all you have to do is not watch.

You don't have to watch them try to lose or try to win because

I've always made the joke like the difference between the only difference between fans and us, you know, Stacy and I, is that you guys can shut it off if you want to.

You guys don't have to watch.

You guys can say, all right, well, let's hope they lose this one and turn off the game and come back in the fourth quarter and look at the score or check on Twitter or check on Insta or check on, you know, your box score the next day.

you guys can kind of turn it away and look back and hope that the results that you want are there.

For us, it's a little bit different.

I don't want to sit there and watch.

At least I don't want to sit there and call a game.
