Yeah, sorry.

One of the toughest things to do when you're trying to weave together several thoughts is to put a bow on it and pass the baton.

So yeah, in terms of the exact phrasing, I did not go to school to be a broadcast journalist.

For anyone who saw my All-Star break activities, I had a good vacation, went back up to Mizzou where I went to journalism school.

And well, other than the game, unfortunately, Mizzou lost to UT when I was there.

But other than that, I had a nice vacation.

But yeah,

No, I went to school to be a print journalist.

So I'm a writer by trade.

Broadcasting, podcasting, that's something that I've sort of picked up along the way and I try to improve.

But yeah, passing back the baton and putting a bow and summing it up, especially in a live recording.

Sometimes it gets a little choppy.

My apologies for not having the ideal wording, but

Yeah, I will not let this rant get extended.

Actually, Paolo, before we get to the final segment, the next four games, the next week, I think, to me, you've got the Hornets Thursday, Knicks Saturday in an ABC primetime game from Madison Square Garden, then two home games against the Jazz and the Kings.

None of these are back-to-backs.

To me, if you're a serious team, if you're going to make a legitimate run for the three seed, which I mentioned on paper, you know, the Nuggets, I know it feels like you missed your chance to catch the Nuggets with, you know, not making hay when they were without Jokic for a month.

But, you know, they have a far more difficult schedule coming up.

You're only a game back.

You're tied in the loss column.
