Chapter 2: What unique insights does Michael Baiamonte provide about his career?
And it's to be expected. There's no surprise in that. Yeah. You're going to lose to some good teams, and that league is top-heavy. So, you know, you've got ā how many teams the last two years have been 90-plus point teams, right? Like, there have been more than a dozen, have there not?
Chapter 3: How does Michael Baiamonte feel about retiring after 35 years?
Well, listen, I mean, they were missing Bram Marchant last night because of personal reasons, and that's the guy who's been driving the offense lately. But, I mean, the Panthers ā really hemmed the puck inside the duck zone the entire night last night. And they outchanced them. They outshot them. They had more attempts. They just didn't finish.
What do you make of this wind meter thing that keeps popping up in these group chats where every game they make this meter of who's supposed to be winning this game. And it's always Panthers, and they're losing. Yeah, what am I supposed to make of that?
Deserve to win a meter was at like 82% for the Panthers. So, Dan, does that make you feel better? I like the deserve to win a meter standings. I wish we had an accurate measurement. To me, all I've been using for years is run differential or point differential, and it feels insufficient to me.
I would like a should of one meter, like another part of the standings that has win, loss, tie, and then games where they actually deserve to win but lost.
Chapter 4: What challenges do sports announcers face in their profession?
Let's celebrate the point. That was a hard-earned point. That game looked done, done.
That was exciting when they scored with the empty net. Three minutes left. That was exciting.
I always like that.
Yeah.
They were down to nothing, and it was hard to watch the general constipation of down to nothing in a game. You know, the total in that game was six and a half goals. People expected scoring in that game. And they did do something late to titillate. But let's go to the heat for a second before Mike Biamonti comes on with us.
And I know that Charlotte is as irrelevant a sports franchise as there is anywhere in sports. Let's take some guesses here. Never been to the Eastern Conference Finals as a franchise. You guys want to guess the last time they won a playoff series? Anybody want to guess the last time they won a playoff game? Because these are two different answers in my head. Probably Purple Shirt Guy series.
Yeah, Purple Shirt Guy, right? That is 2015.

Chapter 5: What memorable moments does Michael Baiamonte recall from his career?
So 10 years. 10 years since they won a playoff game. But go ahead and guess last time they won a playoff series. I'm going to go 93. Mourning the shot! Is that it? I think it was after that. I think they upset the heat. I think in the year 2000 with Jamal Mashburn, but they were the Bobcats. Eddie Robinson. No, they were Hornets. They were the Hornets. They were not the Bobcats.
Were they New Orleans Hornets? No, they were Charlotte, and I think Alonzo was trying to work his way back, and it kind of screwed up team chemistry a little bit. 2001, because 2000 was nip and tuck, nip and tuck.
Nick Bavetta.
Jamal Mashburn, 2002. So you're talking about the Charlotte? Not 2002. It was 2001. I was at the last Hornets game ever played in Charlotte before they went back. And that was 2002 against the Nets. Yeah, it was 2001. It got swept. Okay, but listen to what I just said. I'm grinding the show to a halt. Let me see here. Hold on. He's helping. Minor penalty. Two minutes. Delay of show. Tough start.
You're not allowing me to get on the road. 25 years without winning a playoff series in that sport is crazy. Everyone makes the playoffs in that sport. Half the teams make the playoffs in that sport. So it has been an irrelevant franchise. Go ahead. I'll ask the room. You guys want to guess the name of their coach? Yes. No, I don't. Charles Lee. Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Works for me.
It's just a guy named Charlie. Oh, Charlie Lee. Not Charles Lee. Charlie. Charlie. It's just a guy named Charlie. His first name's Charles? Yeah, like LeClerc. You've got it being two names, Charles Lee. It's just some dude named Charlie. He's in his second year. I don't believe it. You don't believe me? No, I know they fired that Italian guy. The one with the mustache?
The second year of Charles Lee produces a Charlotte basketball team that has LaMelo Ball and little else. I like watching LaMelo Ball. Cockbrenner's good. He shoots from distance in a way that is fun. You tricked me.
You said it was Charles Lee. His name is Charlie Lee. I was kidding.
Charles Lee, shit. What are you doing? His name... Swallow the whistle. Two minutes to lay a show.

All these high-paid analysts. I don't want to mention names. TNT. ESPN. You know, oh yeah, they are dead. They're not going to make it, you know. Even if they win in, if they lose in Miami.
I need to calm you down.
That's right, if they lose in Miami, they don't got a chance in Boston. Oh, they are going to have their ass, you know what, in Boston, you know.
Stugatz.
They were wrong. Are they going to lose their job? No. Are they going to get a cutting pay? No. What are they going to do? Keep predicting what is the obvious. They are going to say, oh, the Nuggets are going to win. Oh, Denver, the Altitude. And you know what? The Heat are going to win it all. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugats.
Let's talk for a second about what the Heat are doing, because without Norman Powell last night, they're getting a ton of help from their bench. This is now a handful of games that they've scored 140 in, and they scored 140 at Memphis, and man, would it be fun to see Kevin Durant in this offense. God, he would be tremendous with this group. The ball movement. Why?
They don't need to pay a guy what Kevin Durant's being paid. Look what the Heat are doing. I don't disagree.
I love where the roster is at right now. And Jaime Jaquez Jr. off the bench running everything. You know, it's funny. After that first game against Orlando, we talked about like, oh, if you're going to have Jaime bringing up the ball at the end of the game. But what he's doing offensively, he just looks physically and mentally refreshed.
