I don't mind.

I'm a little flaccid on this becoming a recurring audio drop for us.

If we just want to clip and stamp that thing right now.

Who's the Ben Affleck?

Is that like the Rockets taking another swing and just seeing how it goes?

Love waited, right?

I mean, look, I have a hard time squaring the part of me that loves Darius Garland, the basketball player, and the part of me that is freaked out by the fact that he just can't seem to stay healthy basically ever.

That's what I was googling.

It's both.

It's both feet.

In addition to some other random freak injuries along the way, which is always like, I don't know, makes my alarms go off a little bit.

You don't want to over-index on the chaotic stuff where a guy just breaks a jaw or something.

But if it just keeps happening, then maybe it can be indicative of something about style of play, something about ultimately how they're carrying themselves on the court that lends itself to that.

I don't think of Garland as that kind of player.

And yet the proof is what it is that he's had a really hard time staying on the floor.

And in between those spells, sometimes take takes a minute to kind of ramp up and get back into form again.

Like we blinked and this guy is about to be in the prime of his career.

Like he's not a young player anymore.

He is a star that the Clippers absolutely should bet on and should see if maybe he can be healthier for them than he was for the Cavs.

Maybe it'll just be like the right time in his career.
