uh for them and not having sugs in particular as you you highlighted in this matchup makes it almost or definitely untenable i previewed the other four series earlier in this week i made broad predictions on a few of them i want to make specific predictions now you can join in if you wish

I agree with that. And I think that there's... Let me ask you, what... If that were to happen, what is the like, I don't know if panic is the right word or just like existential self-examination as an organization with regards to Giannis Antetokounmpo and his status with the team?

I'm going Lakers in six, and I'm not a huge fan of the construction of this team for the purpose of a playoff run, but I'm with you. I can't bet against Luka Doncic, and I don't want to be mean, but picking a team that has Luka to lose versus a team that has Julius Randle to win just doesn't feel right. That was mean. You did want to be mean. I'm sorry. You were mean. So Lakers in six.

This has been like asking me... to choose between my son and my daughter. I love these two teams so much. I love Jokic. I love Kawhi. I wrote a column in August. The headline was, I can't quit the Los Angeles Clippers after they gave up. I remember it. I was like, well, he's obviously lost his mind. And I love a lot of the things that they do. I love so much of how they built this team.

I think Kawhi looks so fantastic on both ends, which is really telling and important. And I also am going Nuggets and Seven because it pretty much boils down to home court for me, honestly. I had such a difficult time with just kind of delineating the...

advantages and disadvantages between these two they're so good and it's it's like an unjust basketball crime that uh we don't get this matchup in the conference finals um and uh Yeah, so Nuggets in seven, and I don't feel super pumped about that pick, to be honest.

I have a piece coming out tomorrow on just matchups breaking down. It aligns with this conversation, dovetails very nicely, just fun matchups to look out for in the first round. So check that out. And again, this was a true honor. I know you hate that word. It was. I've listened to basically every episode that you've ever recorded. Huge fan. You're the Michael Jordan of what we do.

I know you don't want to hear that. I don't know. I've never had a gambling experience. But yeah, this was great. And I truly appreciate you having me on Zach.
