Chris Ryan

With or without Joel, if we make the playoffs, it's like a really cool, like, you probably would rather not see them in the playoffs kind of team.

Like, if they wind up being...

the eighth seed like or the seventh seed like would is Cleveland or Detroit going to be a little nervous to play them I kind of feel that way about the Celtics oh well just like if Tatum comes back in mid-February right and they're able to get like 20 have you decided on the number or the record that you would accept him coming back versus being like just take a year off bro they're hitting this danger zone with this season

No.

Oh, Atlanta.

Oh, you went to that game, right?

Old school CR, like a kind of like a dirty story or kind of like a feel-good story?

Dirty.

I think it's just watching what's happening.

The Clippers.

And just like on... And just how even if Harden scores 51, they're just in a dogfight every night.

And not that I wish this on them, but it is... It kind of almost feels like a throwback season of like these just really... There's a couple really gross bad teams really early.

Like the Kings thing is just like...

almost unwatchable on a night-to-night basis.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah, it doesn't feel like a lot of teams can, other than Oklahoma and Detroit and a couple other places, they can't get any traction.

Like even Jokic coming out and being like, we're not as good as we think we are.

Right.

And Gordon getting hurt.

It kind of puts a pause on their season.
