It's the most wonderful time of the year for people like you and me.

Not only do we have this triumph that we call the play in tournament entertaining us all week, we get ready to look ahead to the granddaddy of them all.

With all due respect to the Rose Bowl, the NBA playoffs is the best sporting event

in the world and i can't wait for it let's review the four playing games so far

We haven't gotten them unless they've landed since I've gotten on this zoom podcast, but you're exactly right.

Watching con canipple really struggle in that game, which I would say not only the drunkest game, I think it was drunk and high Zach Lowe to your point, drunk and high.

And then watching Denny do what he did.

I'm supposed to not be affected by this as a voter?

I'm going to do my best, Zach Lowe.

I also already had Cooper Flagg.

I talked about that on Bill's show the other day.

Was he mad at you?

I haven't listened to it yet.

Well, I told him there's a woman in Maine named Kelly Flagg who was asking me what Bill's vote for Rookie of the Year was.

And I said, hey, just so you know, people are watching you, Bill Simmons.

And he wasn't mad at me.

But I think it was good that I was there to make the case for Cooper, who I think has a solid case for Rookie of the Year.

I don't think anybody can argue that.

But long story short, the plan's been awesome.

A great Steph moment, which I know we're going to talk about next.
