Yeah, I didn't mention it, but Risa Shea, career high, 38 points this week. Yeah. Very impressive. Yeah. And I think going into the season, I'm sure Spurs fans were feeling good. They were thinking, ooh, we might get a juicy pick. And they still might end up getting a lottery pick if Atlanta doesn't get out of play. But, you know, right now that's the 15th pick in the draft.

And I think going into the season, you probably were expecting, oh, that might be closer to like a top 10 pick. So credit to the Hawks. Now, Andrew, it's our worst take of the year award. The award goes to the take that we are most embarrassed by. And this didn't happen on this podcast, but it was on Down to Dunk. We do over-unders every year. And I took the...
