And I don't think most of us saw that coming in the absence of Jason Tatum this year.

Yeah, and we've covered that on this pod a couple of times, I think, in recent weeks after Jokic went down about just what a shame it is.

And it's not just about Jokic.

And by the way, I know we should never worry about clapping back at the people who clapped back at us in the comments on Instagram.

We were getting clapped at?

People who are like, oh, you guys didn't say the 65 game rule was a problem with Embiid.

Stop, folks.

Personally, I was against the 65 game rule from the time it was invoked.

I don't like it for a variety of reasons, which we have covered on this pod.

Folks, go back, listen to the back catalog.

You can hear me rant about it from a couple weeks ago.

It's not about Jokic.

It's also, for this season, not even just about Jokic.

It's about Jokic and potentially Wemby and potentially Giannis.

We have multiple...

guys who are perennial MVP candidates who may all get knocked out by the 65 game rule, and it's going to put us in a position where, look, Shea may just claim it outright anyway, and it'll be fine, but the ballot is going to look a little warped based on guys just being eliminated by rule, and I just think that's a shame.

We don't need to get back into it again, but people on IG, go back, listen to the whole presentation, because this is not just about Jokic.

I'm just trying to look out for the integrity and rep of our show.

Lamello shooting off of one foot while falling out of bounds and over the backboard and shit.

Just like doing trick shots.
