Yeah, I think that's the difference between now and 2011 or 12, which is when I first became a regular on League Pass. It was like, whoever the Bulls were, when they decided that they were going to stink up the joint, they were going to have basically... Three rotation-worthy guys in the starting lineup, and everybody else was kind of going to be like, okay, this team is headed for 17 wins. Yeah.

They're playing the lottery game and whatever. Nowadays, like, the Bulls we expected to be a bottom four Eastern Conference team, but because they haven't gotten rid of, like, they would have sold off Vucevic. They would have sold off Levine. They would have sold everything off. But now because they kept those guys, like, they're just not a given win. There's no, like, given wins.

And even the Wizards on some nights of first game, I think Zach Levine— Brooklyn's another one. Brooklyn's another one. Yeah, like, there's no— Toronto. There's no process Sixers is what I always say. Like, that process Sixers team where Michael Carter-Williams was leading that team in scoring for an entire season— That was insane.

Yeah. It's so different. And I don't know if it's just the talent. Like, these dudes have just come out and played with a lot of pride. Like, just quite frankly.

Yeah, but I mean, it's really hard to explain why none of these teams have come out and been, you know, just dog shit. And again, it's early.

And I think what's crazy too is that like the NBA, because of how they handled some of this load management stuff, have been... How did they handle it? Poorly. They've been so effective in messaging that the regular season doesn't matter. This isn't real basketball. Playoffs where things really start and people are playing hard. That's not been the case to start the season.
