And I very much think the Rookie of the Year race is up for grabs.

Well, I'm just gonna say while we're here, um, should we know that, you know, we also have the Kyrie news, right?

So Mavericks related Kyrie out for the rest of the season.

Um, you and I had texted about this.

Like, uh, I don't think anybody should be shocked by this.

Um, I was never quite convinced that there was a plan for him to come back to season anyway, and especially where they are in the standings now and given obviously tank races and control of draft pick, which they have now and not in future years.

Like it, it just makes sense.

Um, I am curious to see what happens next though.

Does it make sense?

for Kyrie Irving to be on this roster next season is that something that they revisit in in the summer um what is Kyrie I mean it's gonna be to have been a long time since we saw Kyrie by the time we do see him again on the court wherever he is and you know um but yeah kind of anticlimactic that they are saying uh he's he's shut down for the season yeah not I as soon as it was clear this season was going to go in a tanky direction for the Mavs um

Where's your confidence level in the Rockets right now?

To do what?

To be a serious factor in April and May.

Yeah, I agree, and it's kind of a bummer considering where we began this season.

My last pick, getting a little strange creative with this one also.

This is less about the game and more about the context.

And that is April 6th, Cleveland.

I have not picked a Cavs game yet.

Cavs at Grizzlies.

This might be John Morant's last home game in Memphis.
