the group chat listeners responded overwhelmingly.

Our inbox overflowed.

I would say this is like our most prolific response to any mailbag calling we've ever had.

Thank you to everyone who emailed in to ringergroupchat at gmail.com.

You can keep them coming on an ongoing basis about anything we talk about.

Maybe we'll read them on the show, regardless of it being a mailbag or not.

But we got to get into it, Kyle, because we have a lot to dig into today.

And to read those questions, as always, our producer Isaiah Blakely is going to join us.

Isaiah,

Can you cue us off the top with the first question?

Like we, we didn't ask for this.

We didn't prompt him in any way, but here we are.

The title pie is presented by FanDuel.

Uh,

We're going to break this down kind of like in chunks, I think, Kyle.

And you can tell me what strikes you as being out of character with your perception of the league, a little too high, a little too low, whatever you like as we go.

The first group of contenders, according to FanDuel by percentage broken down, the Thunder at 38%, the Spurs at 13%, the Celtics at 13%.

I would say the Thunder in particular, that's right in line with where we've had them in our title pie conversations all year, no?

And certainly, if you want to parse the words of everyone involved, you can see the moment.

moments of frustration, but then they'll go beat the Thunder and everything is fine again.
