I'm wearing a Jasper shirt.

Like, this is basically, you know, the podcaster's uniform.

And we got seabears.

We got seabears underneath, man.

So I'm doubling down.

I'm pandering to you.

I'm trying to make sure that this is a friendly reception here and also to make sure that Dave feels threatened.

That's a really important part of this equation.

So my biggest concern with the shakeups they did at the trade deadline is anytime you see a seismic shakeup like this, how often do those teams make the finals?

Forget go out and win the NBA finals.

So to to some extent, I'm concerned about that.

Right.

Like, I think.

This is going to be a team that's very, very good down the stretch.

They have an incredibly easy schedule after the All-Star break.

There's a couple weeks here where they're playing some other contenders in the Eastern Conference.

They play OKC, but we'll see who's available for that.

But after that, it's a very, very light schedule.

So this is a soft landing for them.

But when they get tested in the playoffs and you don't have kind of that chemistry and continuity like you had in the past, I'm curious about how that's going to shake out.
