Remembering some sentence quotes, but half-assed, kind of.

Yeah.

What was the name?

I guess the only other team to really mention here are the Celtics.

They kind of got their asses handed to them by the Knicks in this early game right before the Super Bowl.

I don't know how much you could read into that.

I always kind of write off early games, especially in big markets, just because I figure guys are just kind of going out and the timing is just weird.

I did like Vuce's impact in game one against the Heat.

In game two, it wasn't so great.

But it did feel like it played out exactly how we thought, where he was dominant on the boards.

I think he had 12 there.

And it did really feel like he had an advantage scoring against smaller units because Spoh refuses to play Kal-El Ware all of a sudden.

It's a whole separate issue, but they tried to go small, and he was just a big old boy doing big boy stuff.

And so I did kind of like it from that respect.

Having said that, we are getting the reports that are slowing down the Jason Tatum return, and that does worry me about them kind of hitting that next gear.

I did watch a Shams report where it was just like a bunch of word salad where it was like,

He still needs to get the okay from the medical staff and then also the training staff.

And Malika, the training staff is different than the medical staff.

And it's just like, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Just tell me what's happening.
