Yeah.

You keep losing.

There's no valiance in it.

Why am I supposed to applaud you on the back for just, you made them sweat a little bit more this year.

Oh, you know, as they walked into the Western conference finals again, um, I, I, I fear we're going to have to get to the territory of, and granted, this is what I just normally do.

Um,

if they don't make the move that we're all expecting or maybe hoping for, am I going to have to talk myself into like, well, you know what?

When Ryan Hartman is on his game, boy, you can't do it.

I can't do that.

See, I know you can't, but I'm not, I'm not there yet.

Unfortunately, like in my life, like I'm, I'm not 30 yet.

So I feel like I'm able to have a little bit of hope and let myself be dumb, but I'm going to be let down at the end of the day.

Cause it's the roller coaster when he's on his game.

Don't get me wrong.

He's a pleasant player to watch.

He's not a top line center, but for this team, he may as well be.

But when he gets low, we saw in the playoffs last year, and that's where a lot of the, I think the hype and positivity starting the season was, oh my God, we're going to get this version of Ryan Hartman.

It's going to be great.

We've seen it at times, but can you rely on that for an entire run of the playoffs?

We saw it in the first series.
