I'll figure it out because I'm that good.

hyperbole you guys are hyperbole yes the last couple of months we've had a lot of talk about tanking the entire season no sir the entire season we had the great start of the spurs we had the nba cup and the knicks finally winning something we had the trades that happened at the trade deadline the trade that didn't happen with yannis we had aspiration and the clippers uh tampering or excuse me the

Clippers capture convention case.

All of these were massive storylines that dominated the stories.

And then towards the end of the year, we started talking about, hey, man, these teams are really tanking a lot worse than it usually happens.

And you guys are going to say that was the entire season.

I disagree wholeheartedly.

I think that people focus on whatever they want to focus.

I thought Jeremy made an excellent point about Tommy John's surgery and, like, we don't look at that with pitchers.

Why do we look at it with basketball?

And Mike's response was like, yeah, I don't care.

Right.

Like that's basically what it comes to.

It's like, oh, wait a second.

Oh, yeah.

Mike even said, yeah, I actually can see the comparisons there, but I still don't care.

And at that point, that's why I say the league has a PR issue, because it's not about facts.

It's about people just feeling like, yeah, I don't care.

I don't care what the facts are.

I still believe what I believe.
