Unknown Speaker 0:21
tuning in to our court side conversations covering all things NBA rebels Young Money, nothing you could sell me

Unknown Speaker 0:40
What's up y'all Gucci row? Back? So 13 My name is Kevin Kelly. Will does part. And we got a lot of love for you today. So, just to start How you doing man started December tomorrow. What are we looking like?

Unknown Speaker 0:55
Can't believe it's the summer already year went by fast. I'm doing pretty good

Unknown Speaker 1:00
facts. Me too. Yeah, like we were just saying finals projects wrapping up and stuff. So it's getting hectic. And then December in Vegas, as you know, is a really busy sports time. So now it's good, though. Yes, sir. What? Um, I know you sent me some of the events you're doing. What are you covering coming up here in December? Well,

Unknown Speaker 1:21
we got the PAC 12. Coming up Friday, Pac 12. Championship and the Mountain West Championship Saturday. So it's a busy weekend football for me.

Unknown Speaker 1:30
I saw they just opened. They said they're open in the stands to the top ones. Yeah, they

Unknown Speaker 1:35
opened up the top section for the UNLV game Saturday, which is huge, because they haven't done that yet.

Unknown Speaker 1:41
Yeah, that's fine. That'll be that'll be fun. And then, yeah, we got the legends of basketball Invitational this weekend to right with USC. And Washington. Is it? And then yeah, Jack Jones classic coming up a lot of sports to cover here. It is. And then it's Washington. The next game? Yeah. So that'll be fun. And then obviously, NCAA tournament coming up here soon. We have the semifinals and the finals here in Vegas, which will be cool. I got my credential denied, which is, you know, good stuff. But nonetheless, I'm excited for it. And we'll be there. So that'll be fun. For sure. To get into some of the NBA. There's we're about you know, a month and a half into the season now almost 20 games, you getting like a slight read on what teams are doing. Even though you know, of the whatever quarters of the season. The first one is probably the toughest to read, but just gonna go through a couple standing surprises from either conference that we saw. And yeah, get into some inseason tournament talk a little bit about the Mavs who just had a big move. And then yeah, get into some other basketball talk if we have the time but so I just wanted to start over on the east. My big surprise so far has been the magic who are second place in the east at 13. And five, they've eight wins in a row. Yeah, that they've been fun to watch. Especially like Cole Anthony and Jalen Suggs, they, they're exciting, they are just fun to watch in terms of the they're really animated and so that's been cool. But we mentioned also recently I have to say this that because there's been a recent trend of rookies of the year who take their team to the playoffs in their their sophomore year. And we stood on the fact that Paolo probably will not be in that group of guys but it looks like you know a second place they're on their way are we walking that back yet? Or we think there's a lot of season left.

Unknown Speaker 3:46
Oh, there's a lot of season left for sure. As far as Second place goes. I bet it could probably get themselves in the plan maybe like the bottom half of the like the teams that are solid in the playoffs but I don't see them getting past like a six seed.

Unknown Speaker 3:59
The interesting thing, though, is that like you know Paulo has been really good he had player the week recently but like he hasn't had this sort of like significant leap that people would have predicted had the magic bend in second place at 13 and five and neither as France like they've both been good but they're doing this without like a big jump from either their two best players. So I think if there's one thing that helps them going down the road to maintain like you said maybe not home court advantage but just being in the playoffs. I think they're building some good at that and even like their bench like mo Wagner has been one of the best backup centers in the league like yeah, they've been fun to watch. The next one I have is the the Pacers who are in six than the east at nine and seven. They've as far as just like the past teams they've been maybe my the most fun to watch. They lead the league in points per game assists per game field goal percentage and they're in first in pace by a lot. They They just get up and down and run, run, run, run, run. And that's been fun. Have you gotten to catch many of their games or now?

Unknown Speaker 5:06
I've seen some Halliburton stuff. I haven't watched any Patriots game before. But Halliburton title, like a lot of highlights show up on my timeline. And when watching him like

Unknown Speaker 5:14
his numbers are the word ridiculous. Yeah, I mean, I'm pretty confident saying that. I think he's the best passer in the league right now. And I don't really think it's that close. He's special.

Unknown Speaker 5:25
I think that kings trade is definitely more up for debate than maybe it was last year. It's kind of like it kind of like fluctuated in terms of like how like it's been perceived, right? Like immediately. It

Unknown Speaker 5:34
was like, oh, Halliburton, that's a horrible trade. And then last year, it was like, Oh, it worked out perfect. And then this year, it's kind of like, Oh, yeah. Is he better than Fox?

Unknown Speaker 5:41
Yeah, like, obviously, we saw the Kings get third place, and ran into a tough warriors matchup, but still, yeah, like that was clearly successful than that for them. While the Pacers side of things was like, people were buying into maybe the ceiling and everything, but it wasn't showing yet. And now you're really seeing that trade evened out on both sides.

Unknown Speaker 6:00
So maybe the rare win win. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 6:02
So speaking of to the kings, not as high powered as last year, but they're still so fun to watch to me. And just like as a side note, Mike Brown is my favorite coach besides spa in the league, by far, he's just his he has the most electric postgame pressors. And I recommend you tune in to any one of them because it's worth it.

Unknown Speaker 6:24
I'm still on on the Kings as far as playoffs, I think they could be a team that makes a finals run this year. Like I said that this summer, but they remind me of the warriors from like 2013 or 14 that were just on the verge of making a run. So I mean, they didn't get that extra piece that I would have thought they would have got this offseason, but they still have like a unbelievable core that I think will win them playoff games playoff series and get them to the conference finals or finals sooner rather than later. Now

Unknown Speaker 6:52
I agree. And like you said, they didn't make any big moves. But they, you know, Keegan hasn't been shooting it well, but he's still looked a lot better and a lot more confident. They just got Darren back. Who's been even better than last year. He looks like if he keeps this up. He could be in the MVP conversation, too. So yeah, they're, they're gonna be fun to keep an eye on going into this next season. I agree. I think that they don't they don't look like they're gonna fall off much in that sense. So I guess, I guess, be relatively easy to make choice. But which team? Do you think of the first two Eastern conferences that I mentioned, have had a better start the magic with the Pacers? are, I guess, a more impressive start?

Unknown Speaker 7:35
I mean, it's gotta be the magic, right? I mean, eight in a row. I think that's, I mean, it's for the start of the season for a team that young to come out that strong is impressive. I don't know if they'll be able to keep it up. But

Unknown Speaker 7:48
yeah, definitely watch for sure.

Unknown Speaker 7:51
We'll see how it progresses. I think we'll, I think like this is the part of the season where you start to really see where teams are like the next 20 or so games or like, if they're, if they're doing this for 20 more games. It's not a fluke.

Unknown Speaker 8:03
Yeah, I agree. I think that next chunk of 1520 like that December January games, like that's when you saw the Celtics, flip it around last year and turn it into the team that they were, yeah, teams are really starting to shape up. And so another one on the east, not, not such a high note here. But the Chicago Bulls are 55 and 14. They're in 13th, right now in the East. And they have a bottom five deep offense in most ways that you spin it. So that hasn't been good. And just some of the bulls fans that follow are certainly not happy with what's going on. And like this has been a trend now for a couple years of just mediocrity, despite having an expensive team with some stars. So I know I've said it plenty of times, but it really is time for them to blow it up. I

Unknown Speaker 8:50
mean, you could only would not see this coming from a mile. I mean, what do they have that's gonna win them a playoff series or playoff games like Demar? DeRozan hasn't been that six years. And he hasn't been that since he left Toronto? That was 27. What not not 2017 2019. Right.

Unknown Speaker 9:07
But sure. And even then, like, that's I've been showing up in the regular season like you can't have, like you said Tamar, who's, you know, one of the better players of our generation. And then also Zack Levine, who's clearly a star in himself and then Bucha who they spent Carter and picks to go get anyway, I mean Levine's

Unknown Speaker 9:26
a star, but he's not winning a playoff series. He's like, Levine might be the most empty stats kind of guy and as far as like stars go in the league like well, it's also

Unknown Speaker 9:36
just that diet. Like I feel like Damar and Levine together was never going to Well, yeah.

Unknown Speaker 9:41
I think all of them together is just like foodservice anymore, cuz that's how useless he's been. Blondes. I was not coming back ever. Yeah, I mean, disappointing. It's disappointing, but it's at sports. Like that's the type of stuff that happens. Yeah. And the done nothing. They're big. They're big acquisition the past half decade was Alex Caruso, and they're about to send them back to Los Angeles.

Unknown Speaker 10:06
And then like, like you mentioned with Levine days, he seems to have like some sort of, like Rift or issues with Billy Donovan, too. And you can't have like your best player and your coach not getting seemingly not getting along. Yeah, it just, if there ever was a time, and it wasn't before it is now to move on from either Damar Levine Fuch or, or some combination of all of

Unknown Speaker 10:34
them, get them all out of there. Maybe keep Rouge because he's, he's a big guy. Almost had a slip of tongue.

Unknown Speaker 10:42
Yeah, no, actually, I think if I were to keep one of the three actually, that's a good question. You're saying boots. You'd keep it three? I

Unknown Speaker 10:50
mean, I'd always keep a big anchor. I don't think two agent guards is. I mean, I don't know if I call it being aging. You know, it's not getting any younger. And you're gonna get in Myanmar as far. I mean, tomorrow, he has three years let them lead. Maximize opinion.

Unknown Speaker 11:04
Yeah, I might even say that I think they should just keep Tamar. And then let him be the tank Captain like he was for the Spurs, get rid of Levine, get rid of food, get some pics and some young guys, and then let him run and get you a decent pick to move on in the future. Because like you said, obviously he's aging too. And it's going to be out of there. So to move on to the West Conference, unless you got anything else on that?

Unknown Speaker 11:28
No.

Unknown Speaker 11:30
We covered that. So the Timberwolves are first place in the West, the 13 and four they have the number one defense in the league. Rudy go bear has been special on that end. And it man has been an MVP candidate thus far. And you know, a lot of we saw a lot of struggles between Rudy and cat in the frontcourt last year just in the fit and how it worked. And their defense even didn't look anywhere near as as good as it should with the guy like Rudy, but it looks a lot different this year. And it has really stepped up to the plate on offense. So that's fun to watch. He's averaging 26, six and five right now. And he just looks really hungry down the stretch to get the ball and take all the important shots, which he absolutely should be doing. So

Unknown Speaker 12:16
I mean, he's ridiculous. He's, he's my mind. He might be my favorite player in the league right now. Besides Steph, just because he's just a dog like, Yeah, he'll be an MVP sooner rather than later if he's not the MVP this season, which is entirely likely if they keep doing this. Yeah,

Unknown Speaker 12:30
he's less possible. And like you mentioned to like, just the brand that he plays is so phase so athletic and explosive. And like, there's no one in the league that is has less fear of going at the rim on top of someone than him. So that that's fun to watch for sure. Another guy that was there last year, but it's certainly slipping in MVP talks for this year is SGA. Che Gillis Alexander has the thunder 11 and six, they're fourth in the West. And right now like you just mentioned with an I'd say SGA is my pick for MVP this year. He averaged 31 last year so you're probably not going to improve on that but he's at like 30 points six and six assists. And he leads the league in steals at 2.4 steals per game. Which I thought I had to look up a couple times if that was even accurate. The next highest is 1.9 but they've been getting after it he's been getting after it thunder are my other pick for the surprises in the West.

Unknown Speaker 13:30
He's sort of this other guy who he just needs wins to be the MVP Right? Like he's not gonna do it with last year's record. But if he has the stats, he keeps having any he went to 60 games 55 games in a year. I mean, you're the MVP and

Unknown Speaker 13:44
like kinda like I mentioned with Ant brand of basketball how super you know exciting and explosive Shay's is not it's it's so like meticulous and it's fun to watch just as like a you know, a hoop fanatic I guess but just like just not just someone who admires the differences and play styles between guys che is really good at I'm sure I've mentioned it on here before but just using his strength getting to spots and not relying on explosiveness or athleticism as much as guys did put up the numbers that he does Yeah, and then also while we're on the topic, chat home guns right still sitting at number one on the rookie ladder. He has been really fun to watch and like we mentioned last time his mentality is is special he I read a he had this thing on the NBA newsletter that went out this week just about what he took mentally from being out last year and just as his like mentality on the helping the community out here and that's kind of irrelevant but my my point being he's such a mature and well rounded player already. Just as a rookie even though it's a second year

Unknown Speaker 15:03
going back all the Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 15:06
And then the Grizzlies. I have as a surprise, it's not really that surprising, but they're four and 13 they're second to last in the west right now. It has not been good. They just won their first home game, like almost games into the season. So, you know, that's not good. Obviously, we predicted a slow start without them having Jah. You know that. That was always going to be an issue. But as we last year, if you look at the record, they it became a big talking point of how good they were without jaw. And we haven't seen that at all this year. You know, they've been a lot more. There's a lot more injury than there was last year. The Grizzlies are missing. Steven Adams and Brandon Clark, who they've missed all year, and then they just lost canard. Xavier Tillman and Marcus smart. So that's obviously piling on but they they've looked bad. I

Unknown Speaker 15:56
mean, I have no tears for the Grizzlies. As a warrior fan, I mean that they had a lot to say. Yeah. So and

Unknown Speaker 16:04
then I think it comes back quick. I think it's funny now that you bring that up. I don't know if it was clay or stuff. One of the two mentioned how like, you have to be able to repeat this kind of thing and like talk until you you've been absolute

Unknown Speaker 16:17
peak was losing to the Warriors and what night It wasn't even the conference finals. It was the round before me. And then that was their peak. And that was like that

Unknown Speaker 16:29
makes makes me I'm interested to see if they will be able to turn it around. I don't know. I mean, I

Unknown Speaker 16:34
think they will but not this season. I think John jaws that type of player where he's just sure need to put stuff around. Oh, yeah, I'm not reason you're not gonna He's it's too far gone. Yeah,

Unknown Speaker 16:43
I think it may be which is wild because they have such a, like I said injury but they have a good roster, even with that. And then another minus here I got your warriors who are eight and 10. They haven't been like, you know, an atrocity or anything but CPCP three has struggled and struggled to find his place really. And now he just had had an injury. And then clay has obviously struggled. They asked him in the postgame presser this week, someone like mentioned the idea of having him come off the bench and he seemed pretty upset. He

Unknown Speaker 17:17
needs to go play for Indiana. They need to send them the NBA and I'm done with him. I'm done with Draymond to their trash. They're wasting steps. twilight of his career. I used to be in the camp even as recently as this summer you could probably hear me say on this podcast say I want them to retire together. That's canceled. That's done. I'm done with that.

Unknown Speaker 17:35
Yeah. And then like clay to sing. I love clay but it's just like he's a baby. It seems so salty. Like they asked him a very valid question about like, lineup figuring out lineups, especially because they brought in CPE and have such unique lineups in general, but the prospect of him going to the bench is not outlandish at all. And his response was to like throw Why don't you say it for Wigan.

Unknown Speaker 17:59
It's insane that he thinks he's good. It's insane that he thinks he's good. And everyone is saying it for Wiggins because Wigan sucks too. And

Unknown Speaker 18:05
then his and then clays excuse was like, basically, I've earned the time to find my grand nobody

Unknown Speaker 18:13
that nobody does know, LeBron doesn't earn the time to find it. It's the NBA if you're eight and 10. Figure it out.

Unknown Speaker 18:19
I mean, just look at James Harden and how he gets treated. Look at how he gets treated when they come back off not being in shape. And it's not even about being in shape. He's just not playing good basketball.

Unknown Speaker 18:30
He just sucks. What else to say he just sucks. I don't want every time he comes on the floor. I'm just like, sitting on the bench. Like why is he in the game? And that's another like, Steve Kerr man. I used to be in the camp for like, ah, Steve Kerr can do no wrong. And that kind of changed a little bit like 2020 2021 When I saw him kind of it changed for me when he was like sitting staff to start the fourth quarter no matter what he would sit Steph like, yeah, the first four to five minutes of the fourth quarter no matter what the situation was. And I was like, alright, this guy's an idiot. But he won the championship the next year. So I was like, Okay, I'll cut him some slack. But now, what are we doing to some of these things? He's sitting Modi and at the end of this inseason tournament thing? I think so we can

Unknown Speaker 19:14
I think Bob Meyers saw the writing on the wall. Oh, I

Unknown Speaker 19:17
mean, he he had to I mean, yeah, kurz geriatric, like he coaches basketball IQ. He's 98 years old, which isn't he's like Bella check almost like they are. They're both like so cocky, that they got like, their wins, how they got their wins. So now they're never going to change. And

Unknown Speaker 19:36
yeah, they can always turn it around. But that's it hasn't looked very good. And then,

Unknown Speaker 19:41
I mean, they'll turn it around, they get rid of her and they get rid of clay and they get rid of Draymond. They have Steph Curry. He's gonna win games. If you put a decent team around him. The team around him is terrible, like Klay Thompson is if you're redoing his 2k rating right now. He's like a 76 Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 19:58
I also They'll never forget that they drafted James Wiseman over lamella ball. I

Unknown Speaker 20:03
mean, I try it forget. I try as hard as I can. Yeah,

Unknown Speaker 20:06
I mean that that would have changed things.

Unknown Speaker 20:10
I mean, that's Bob Meyers. He gets a dip out on ESPN. Back. Yeah. I mean, whoever's decision that was needs to be tarred and feathered. Bob

Unknown Speaker 20:21
is a was a quick to sign his name on that one. But moving on from the Dubs, though, one more. One more somewhat disappointing. I guess it's kind of turning around, but the clippers are eight and nine right now. They obviously got James Harden, and went on five in the first five games that they had him they're starting to come into form, you know, hardens literally like playing himself into shape. quite evidently. But yeah, I don't know. Are you buying in on the clips? Or are they the clips of always and No, no. chance that a playoff? No, I'm not buying.

Unknown Speaker 20:57
Why would anyone buy on the Clippers who's ever showed? What have they shown you ever? That they're not even winning now? Like, and they have their guys, right? Yeah. So what are we doing? Yeah, I mean, get injured eventually. And then they're gonna go tank like they

Unknown Speaker 21:12
do always face the bug. But the argument would be that like, obviously, you know, you'd never expect a team that just adds someone like harden to get it right away. So, you know, I'll give them a little slack there. But even going into it, I didn't think that this like dynamic was going to work really well. I just don't think that giving a harden the ball with the amount of usage that he has while you have guys like PG and Kawhi that need also their shots. And it just I know he says he's the system, but I don't think he's a system for the clippers. But yeah, so I'm not buying an either. And then I guess we'll see. I don't know. I'm not hopeful for them to make any deep run either. But moving on to speaking of run, we're on the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament. The group player just finished up this past week. And so now we have it set. The western quarterfinals is pals was kings, and the other one is sons versus Lakers. And then the Eastern quarterfinals are Nick's first box and Celtics first pacers that I say pacers in the beginning. I'm gonna run this whole thing back ready. The quarterfinals for the NCAA Tournament is here. And we have the matches up matches set up after group play is done. The West is pals verse kings and suns verse Lakers. And the East is next verse bucks and Celtics first Pacers. So that's all set. And that should be fun. But going back to some of the group play. The last few games were really important in terms of point differential for finding seating and who's going to be in these quarterfinals. So it led to some kind of interesting, I guess, situations. Because basically, it's like if you have there's only a handful of games that decide the standings so if there's ties it falls back to who scored more points. So that clearly obviously incentivizes teams to run it up to the buzzer leave their starters in and like I said, run it up not have any quote unquote respect for the other team or for the game. How it should be. You're saying it's how it should be is keep running it well. Yeah,

Unknown Speaker 23:37
that's how it should be without like the incentive like you should just always I mean, without without you could play your players risk of injury. You should never like Yeah, and that's sit on the ball and

Unknown Speaker 23:48
book I saw his like, interview is like locker room Scrum. I just watched they asked book about that. And he said the same thing. He's like, it's just higher competition this day. Why would we not want to play until the buzzer? There's, there's nothing like, inherently, like, disrespectful about playing syllables.

Unknown Speaker 24:10
So are all getting paid. You're all professional athletes. If you're checking out early, who cares what the score is? You're checking out early.

Unknown Speaker 24:15
I agree. The argument will be the old heads who say like conventions and unwritten rules, which I think our generation is pretty clearly not a fan of anyway. So yeah, I mean,

Unknown Speaker 24:28
I don't really think conventions and unwritten rules existed when they were handing Wilt Chamberlain the ball, the score, 100 points from like, yeah, no garbage time. That's

Unknown Speaker 24:35
a really good point. And they were not only just doing that they were playing the foul game. I read about that. They were like literally hacking the other team, not letting them shoot it. Yeah, so to act like that was not always the case as mild. And then

Unknown Speaker 24:48
I mean, that's always the thing with the whole holier than thou thing with generations above in any sport. They all did the same thing.

Unknown Speaker 24:55
Yeah. So to explain, like why the context of that decision? Celtics were playing the bulls in a moment where they were up like 30 In the fourth and they kept their Tatum and all their starters in and even turned to Hakka shacking drum. And so like, as soon as the bulls would get the ball, they'd fall Drummond and make him go to the line because he's a terrible free throw shooter. And Billy Donovan, the bulls coach and Joe Missoula Celtics coach met at half court and you could see them like discussing this whole thing. And Billy seemed like slightly upset but he was understanding of it and his presser he said just something along the lines of he understands keeping the lineup in but he he said, great, keep them all in play all the way till the end. I got no problem with it. I just thought it was putting Andre in a tough spot. I don't like that argument at all. I think an NBA player Yeah. Like my I think I care so much less about putting Andre Drummond in a spot where he has to shoot free throws because that's part of his job. I think that the bigger argument is just that like, you're taking away good possessions of November basketball and games that are like otherwise inconsequential. And now we have to watch Andre Drummond go shoot 10 Free throws in a row instead of you know, the bowls offense or whatever. So that to me is where you really lose out. But I understand that

Unknown Speaker 26:16
it kind of turned to the inconsequential to consequential, right? Because you're fouling drum and because it has consequences, so I don't know if

Unknown Speaker 26:24
they were following him to win by 30. Like, that's,

Unknown Speaker 26:26
it's true, but it's kinda like, kind of, like aggregate in soccer. I mean, I mean, yeah, comparison, but like, you're you gotta like, Nah,

Unknown Speaker 26:34
I hear what you're saying. And like you said, it's not their fault. The end. You're a fan

Unknown Speaker 26:38
of that team. Like it keeps you from turning off that game. Yeah. If you're a fan of like, that keeps you from turning off the game, which I think, an

Unknown Speaker 26:46
end game in November, if you can add that. Yeah, that's helpful. So yeah, I think like, to that extent, the NCAA tournament has been good or like working, so

Unknown Speaker 26:55
to speak. And I think it's a success so far. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 26:58
I agree. It's been fun. So we'll keep up with that. And then I guess, next episode, we'll have the this the finals for you for what's going on there. And then, just the last thing we'll touch on is the the Mavericks. Mark Cuban is selling the Mavs early in the week, there was a lot of speculation after he left shark tank and announced that there would be a sale of the Mavs. And it looks like LV Sands is buying the team. And they plan to build like a Venetian type casino in Dallas with the arena in the middle of it because Texas is legalizing gambling. So the idea is that mark, like somehow keeps I don't get this but keeps his shares. And he gets to keep control of the team ops, but got to pocket 3 billion. Yeah, he bought it for $285 million in 2000. And just made almost 3 billion on it. So I guess we'll see the details of you know, what the ownership change looks like or if there's gonna be one, but it's just

Unknown Speaker 27:58
for the arena. It's just I mean, from he's been saying this for over a year now. He wants that Vegas style arena, then resort and who better to bring in then. The Vegas people?

Unknown Speaker 28:12
Yeah. It's a hell of a plan. So I mean,

Unknown Speaker 28:16
he can pull it off. I'm sure he can. And I mean, as long as he controls basketball apps, I think that's what he really wants. He's he has his money in the toe. So yeah,

Unknown Speaker 28:23
I was just surprised to see him pull out of Shark Tank. And yeah, I don't know.

Unknown Speaker 28:27
We'll see if that show even stays on the air without him.

Unknown Speaker 28:31
He doesn't seem to be caring.

Unknown Speaker 28:32
I mean, that show's been on for well over a decade now. So yeah, I think he is probably winding down anyway. Yeah,

Unknown Speaker 28:39
it was his 10th year with it. So yeah, but I don't know. I mean, obviously, there was some talk of like, whether people thought that the maps would be moving or anything but he came out

Unknown Speaker 28:48
and he'll never move the maps. He's like God and Dallas. Yeah. And

Unknown Speaker 28:52
I think like it's a smart venture. You know, I think putting, like I mentioned to you I know you're you made the point that like for locals having an arena not in a casino is really nice.

Unknown Speaker 29:04

Yeah, if I live in, like, anywhere in Texas where I want to have to go, like Texas is big. You're gonna if you're gonna go to the match, you're probably gonna drive it from two hours. Three hours out. You're gonna want to stay the night. Perfect idea.
