Beat the Blazers, and you lost your mind. Look, the Blazers, led by three officials, nearly pulled the upset of the next Wow. Every play in the last minute was a Was the Blazers going to the free throw line? Well, you were tired and you were reaching. That's what happens when you play heavy minute every fifty to fifty. No, it's going to the Blazer's ridiculu. Let's call the Josh Hart turnover in bounds. Uh a walk, a clear walk. Note, we're gonna go that carry and let the Blazers go to the free throw line. Like, the officials did everything they could in this game to give that game to the Blazers broadcast.

You know, it wasn't even quite the euro step like it was. Wow, that's that's like four steps. But if something else he also turned the blake did the complete carry start again?

Sorry, you need ten miracles and Jesus to barely beat the Blazers.

Dude, you lost. You lost to the Nets last night. The Nets, the Nets who didn't have KD really good right now, didn't have anybody. You lost to the Nets last night. No, look, and this is look this show's and and look. Bridges has played well since Jalen Brunson's injury. It's not not the greatest of optics that he says, you know, our starters need less minutes, which they do, but he's not the guy to say that. But what we saw tonight. Look the Knicks. Yes, they escape with a win over the Blazers, who were terrible, but this still underscores this is what happens to the Knicks at the end of every game. They rely on Jalen Brunson to it some kind of shot, and the offense goes stagnant, and when they get into the final minute with a five point lead, it's like other teams going into the final minute with a game tied. Because the Knicks they don't have any creative offensive sets for the final ends of games, and they wind up missing four shots. Other teams are able to score because look, the Knicks defense isn't what it was, and like tonight, that's exactly right. The Knicks had a five point lead with forty five seconds left, but even no bruntson no creativity missshots, the Blazer are able to tie the game and send it to overtime. This is why when I think about the Knicks and the playoffs, I go, Yeah, after the first round, you're not gonna close against the Celtics like this, which is who they're gonna wind up getting. You're not gonna close against, or it could be the Cavaliers. You're not gonna close against either team like this? Like what are we doing? You know? Like you have to find some way at the end to run your offense and not just rely on Hey, Jalen brunt is gonna do something. Oh okay, great, And and look, there's not a guy in the league I think that has made more pressure shots in the final minute of games than Jalen Brunson or has led some status. It's either he's made more shots or his plays have led to direct baskets. Nobody's done that more than Brunson this year. And but that's not You're not gonna be to survive like that in the playoffs. And here the Knicks offense is still the same. You figure, okay, no Brunson. Here at the end, they'll go low to cat, they'll fake Nope, Nope, it's bad shots. It's Josh Hart and and and and here, all of a sudden we go to overtime and the same thing. The Knicks have a couple point lead down the stretch. They can't keep the ball in bounds. The official will make a couple of calls, and the Knicks have to rely on the on this three Now, I'm happy as hell. I love the fact they won. I love how they won. It was awesome. But still, the apparently is that the Knicks have are evident and and against against the you know, the the two best teams in the East. That's not going away. You know, well, you.

Don't have any depth the loss of Brunson. We watched it, even in that final minute of the Lakers game. Well, the guy's just looking at each other like, all right, who's supposed to take the shot? I was waiting for you to have an expletive complying out of your mouth right there.

Smith But all of that to say.

Smith But all of that to say.

Bridges made his statement, or at least that's the word traveling, that he was the guy to stand up and raising it because he's played forty three minutes a night now, Yeah right, with no bruntson, with no bench. Someone had to say it because we watched it in the defense. Forget about the officials for a second. I know you want to make them the focal point, and they certainly are on the metal stand, no question about it. But you see tired legs, and we watched the Knicks over the course of the you know, this is not your defensive Tom Thibodeau work of brilliance that we've become accustomed to. This is you're winning in spite of it. You know they're in spite of their defensive woes. Cat has been exposed. It was time and time again, inasmuch as we can plain and kind to mock at times, you know, the individual efforts of a Luca or Lebron taking defensive steps off. We've seen that from the Nicks a bunch and towards the end of the game, what do you got tired legs? Like, all right, I gotta follow the give, take the fall instead of point defense, like, all right, I'm gonna kind of reach it. Maybe I get the ball, Maybe I don't. We saw that a number of times down the stretch, and you would have torn out whatever hair would have been on your head out. I'll tell you, I think you plucked your eyebrows. I might think he did one of those things you might have like in what was it the Internship they had that nervous guy that kept pulling out his oh eyelashes.

I might think he did one of those things you might have like in what was it the Internship they had that nervous guy that kept pulling out his oh eyelashes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm plucking my eyebrows. No to tell you what, I tell you what I did. I was so upset at the officials, and it was upset at Josh Hart who trying to and this is what led to the go ahead basket is that he didn't he brain cramped that I can't run along the baseline and he tried to run along the baseline to endbound the ball and the officials blew the whistle. I'm like, okay, well that's on him. Wellion, but oh count and distance? So mad right, and and I'm mad but they allow the walk that the travel and the carry uh okay, And I'm mad. And then I'm telling you and I'm saying they're doing all they can to give them this game. The Blazers getting every single call, They're getting every touch foul down there. It's ridiculous. They keep sending players to the free throw school. Henderson is going to the free throw line like he's Kobe in his prime center the free throw line. I thought I wish I had a blood pressure that moment. And then Bridges makes the show we're watching here in the studio while Martin Wis is doing the update. We're watching the studio. Bridges makes the shot and I'll tell you, I yell, blank you blank you blank you?

Well, yeah, there was a big thing with NBA TV. I do want to bring that up for a second. Why are the Knicks games blacked out in Los Angeles?

Well, yeah, there was a big thing with NBA TV. I do want to bring that up for a second. Why are the Knicks games blacked out in Los Angeles?

Okay, Knick games, they had a problem, like NBA TV had a huge problem with its Uh I know they're not good, but that bad no, no, no, like like and anybody trying to watch games tonight, like you can only watch on the mix because the NBA there was something wrong at least what we had here in our area where there was something wrong with the with the This has never happened before. I've never seen something like this where you can't watch a game. Never. Yeah, where there was only the mix was what we had to watch the games on tonight. That was like half a mix. Yeah yeah, I mean the Knicks. The Knicks were on half of the time. Well, that's the thing. The other game was long over. Well you can't show that's the thing. I know. They can't put it up to a whole full. I know. I know this from from when I did Fantasy Zone at Direct TV, is that once there's only one game left, you can't go to it full. You have to do some kind of about how about you just squeeze it an inch or two on the on the right now. Well now, we've never had that issue ever, but we but tonight, And I don't know how many people dealt with this issue. I think it might have been all but the NBA, you know, trying to watch local games out of markets not you couldn't do it. You had to watch it on the mix. And there's like six games on the screen. Like I can't see this. I'm barely I'm fifty four. I'm trying to go. This is on half of a TV. I'm standing like eight inches in front of the television watching it, Like how do I lie? I'm like rain Man when he gets all the way close up to stufftree. I'm there, you go, Okay, I gotta be this close to see what's happening, because how is this only on half a television? Really was unconscidable? But you got your w and you got your final call. Unless you didn't, it's all good. No, no, we got I mean we're never gonna hear it, obviously, but it's okay. I mean I got, I got to hear Brunsons. It doesn't matter. Frostburg's going to hell. It's okay. Yeah, but hadn't you decided that, like ten what at this point I have time share? Yeah, but I think it's at certain points, like it's like the Statue of Limits. He's got a club set. Okay, Well, look Frostburg, what you did there eight years ago? Now the statue is up and now he's got new things coming. Then, well, I love how the criminal brings up a statue of limited keep keeping him in hell.

So we are waiting kind of a bit of a letdown today, or I thought for sure. Okay, Monday we had Sam Darnol and Justin Fields. Tuesday we add Daniel Jones. Today we're gonna get Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson. We didn't, okay, if they want. If the NFL had it in the script that the guys are going to sign later in the week, we have one day of wondering. Aaron Rodgers let go today by the Jets officially, still waiting to find the destinations for Rogers and Wilson. Now, we talked about Rogers a few minutes ago in that Hey, look it's the Steelers the Giants. Maybe he's trying to make the Vikings happen. But for Russell Wilson, we have to start coming around to the fact that we may have seen him play his last down in the NFL. Unless he wants to be a backup somewhere. He's okay with that, which doesn't happen to Hall of Fame players, it doesn't. But the only two landing spots for him are the Steelers and the Giants, right, and that's it. Right for Rogers. We're talking maybe a couple of teams, but these are the teams. Everybody else is quarterback in the draft somewhere else. Yeah.

Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post is at says that Steelers have made an offer to Rogers and he's quote mulling it.

Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post is at says that Steelers have made an offer to Rogers and he's quote mulling it.

Yeah. So for for Wilson, you know, this is it because these are the two teams. If the Steelers wanted Russell Wilson, they would have signed him, right, they would have signed But they're waiting. So you know, as much as Mike Tomlin wants saying, oh, look, how they understand we had to move on from him, So if they wanted him, they would have signed him. The Giants also could have signed him by now, but instead they wanted to make a move form Matthew Stafford. Look elsewhere. If they wanted Russell Wilson, they would go after him, right they would. They would sign him because Aaron Rodgers is not really a fit with the Giants if not talked to him. So where else are you gonna go for your quarterback? If you're the Giants, You're gonna wait until the draft and hope that well at three, we like Shador Sanders enough to take him, because cam Ward will certainly go, and you hope that maybe the quarterbacks don't go one two. But the Giants hold the key to everything, and if the Giants want Russell Wilson, they could have had him. Not only that, they could sign Russell Wilson and still get their quarterback at three if they want to. They could still go Russell Wilson and Shador Sanders at three if he's there, They could go Russell Wilson and coming back around early part of the second round for Jalen Milroe or Quinn Ewers or Kyle McCord or one of those guys. They could do that, so it's not like Russell Wilson and the decision is keeping them from deciding what their quarterback plans are for this year. So again I default to if the Giants wanted Russell Wilson, they would have had him already, they would have signed him. So where does he go? I mean, really and Hall of Fame guys. Look, we talked about it last night. It's sad that Rogers and Russell Wilson are sitting here and the desperation is oozing out of every pore of their body. It's oozing off of Aaron Rodgers mustache. I want to keep playing, dude, you're done. The league is telling you you're done. Okay, let's see. But for Wilson especially, it's I don't know that there's a landing spot for him, and they're it is more heat on Rogers because he closed the season well right the last eight to ten games he was pretty good, whereas Wilson had a few good games in the middle of the season when he took over. Because Mike Tomlin was adamant that I'm going to Russell Wilson as soon as soon as I can, so I'm going he didn't have to, but he still went there. He had a couple of nice games, and then the end of the season was terrible and the Steelers realize we have to move on from him. The rest of the NFL realizes, Okay, maybe Russell Wilson's at the end. So I don't know that there's a fit. I don't know that there's a fit. And when it comes to Wilson, it's the case of other teams are saying, all right, Wilson's near the end? Is he absolutely at the end? Because last year might have been the last death cry he had as a quarterback where he really has fallen off the last couple of years, and maybe that five or six game run in the middle of the season before the bad five or six games at the end, maybe that five or six game run was it. Because we don't want to get him a year too late, which is what's gonna happen getting Rodgers, or too late too But this is about Russell Wilson. So other teams are saying, yeah, if we were confident Wilson was gonna be even the guy from two years ago, we could go in on him for a year and he can be someone that is a bridge quarterback to our next guy. But we're not gonna go to Wilson if he's completely and totally washed and he's that close, because if we only got five or six, if the steel has only got five or six games out of him last year before he fell off the cliff, is he really gonna play better this year? Is he? Or is he just done? And it would be we don't want to get on the hook for a guy who that six game stretch might have been his last shining moment, and now we're gonna get a guy who's completely done.

Yeah. So for for Wilson, you know, this is it because these are the two teams. If the Steelers wanted Russell Wilson, they would have signed him, right, they would have signed But they're waiting.

Yeah, I wonder when it comes down to it, if this Dulac report is there and he's been there forever right, it was him and.

But it becomes the question of if if Rogers decides not to whatever else is on the table, whether he's pondering television, podcasting, wandering the earth, maybe the Giants, maybe the Browns, like all of these things, there's still a couple of landing spots. The Russell Wilson thing back to Pittsburgh from a football standpoint just makes too much sense after DK Metcalf comes over, because that's all he does well at this point, has put the ball up for grabs, and what do Pickens and DK do best go get the balls that have been put up for grab downfield. But he can't get along with Arthur Smith and they've already you know, put his his space and he's not going anywhere.

So for Mike Tomlin, what are you doing?

So for Mike Tomlin, what are you doing?

Like there's reports that reaching out to Mason Rudolph to bring him back.

Like there's reports that reaching out to Mason Rudolph to bring him back.

That's the answer. Come on.

That's the answer. Come on.

So for the Steelers, they gotta get on there. I'm going to Pittsburgh this weekend. I might just show up and start knocking on doors and trying to get some I need some answers. This makes no sense because you get again we talked earlier in the show. Listen to the podcast. It'll go up at the ft the end of the show. Download to give it five stars. We'll love you forever. All of those things with Captain Kirk Cousins kind of being in the mix as well of what are the Falcons.

Really doing there?

Really doing there?

Are they just waiting for some market conditions whereby it's easy to move him and they come to some agreement on the money with him another team and they get out of that business. So you got these veteran quarterbacks hanging around. It's the recognize that not everybody's Tom Brady moment for I think a lot of these guys is that you don't get to go out with a glory bound run.

Right.

How many guys really get to go out quote on top where they're not physically absolutely decimated which forces them?

John Elway tell me that guy wouldn't have signed up for another year if his body wasn't defeated.

John Elway tell me that guy wouldn't have signed up for another year if his body wasn't defeated.

And look, Drew Brees at forty already couldn't throw the balmore than you are. And Brady knew. Brady went out on as much of a high note as possible, and the fact that he did tells me he knew that. Okay, next year is not going to be but it's not going to be him right right there? This is there's version to me. I was this year. Russell Wilson's not going to be him next year. Neither is Aaron Rodgers. And as much as you want to think you can play, I always default to this. I'm the rest of my life. I'm going to say. The story is that you know you can want to play, but you have to understand when when you're at the end, and not only that, when the rest of the league is telling you you're done, right, Because I remember I still remember interviewing Ron Darling a bunch of years ago, and we were talking about retiring. Someone was retiring, and I said, well, how did you know when it was time to retire, he goes, I didn't. I was in spring training. I the hitters told me it was time to retire the hit or that when I couldn't get anybody out, I knew it was time. That shit.

You might feel great physically, you may be in a good mental space thinking, all right, I'm in command, I'm not favoring any part of my body, all those things. But if you got no movement on your ball, right, you're done.

You might feel great physically, you may be in a good mental space thinking, all right, I'm in command, I'm not favoring any part of my body, all those things. But if you got no movement on your ball, right, you're done.

And this is the same philosophy of This is the NFL telling Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson, you guys are done. And maybe because the Steelers want to continue to shop in the bargain basement section of the store for a quarterback because for some reason they didn't want to go in on anybody else this offseat didn't want to invest in the quarterback position, which is crazy. But this is the only reason why even one of them has any heat. But the rest of the rest of the league is saying, yeah, we think you guys are done. We think we think you're finished, and Russell Wilson specifically, we think you're finished. And like I said, it's sad to see this when when these guys who were you know, Rogers going to the Hall of Fame and Russell Wilson's probably gonna be a Hall of Famer too, But to end your career where I'm so desperate to stay in because I don't know how you control the narrative after this, right, I don't know how if you're Russell Wilson you decide I'm retiring, Well, dude, they retire. You weren't getting it, You're getting a gig. How does Aaron Rodgers do it if nobody else wants him? Right? How does he go from I've had a I'm going on a darkness retreat and I'm coming out and telling everybody I'm retired, Like, you can't control the narrative.

Well, but at least with him, like either his agent got du like to say this, Hey, there's an offer out there, because I think this is where we'd start hearing the protestation of these Steelers.

Well, but at least with him, like either his agent got du like to say this, Hey, there's an offer out there, because I think this is where we'd start hearing the protestation of these Steelers.

Or now we don't don't have an offer out there.

Or now we don't don't have an offer out there.

Again, So if he's legitimately got an offer, he could at least say, you know what, I decided I'm done.

Again, So if he's legitimately got an offer, he could at least say, you know what, I decided I'm done.

Russell Wilson doesn't have that luxury. But think about the last two years. Both of these guys teams eight a tremendous.

Amount of money to just say, you know what, we're out of that business.

Amount of money to just say, you know what, we're out of that business.

Yeah we saw enough. Now you mentioned the Jerry Dulac report. Let me not that I'm doubting it, but let me just let me just throw this at you. Is that if you were Aaron Rodgers and you have an offer from the Steelers, nobody else is going to sign you. You're not going to get in a better situation, no than quarterback in the Steelers this year because this is a playoff caliber team. You're coming in with Pickins, Metcalf and Jalen Warren's going to be the number one and you know, Gainwell just signed. He's a pretty good third down back. You have a great defense. You know you have it already. If that offers out there, what are you waiting for? Like, what's what are you It's not gonna I fail to see where. Oh I want people to think about what I'm gonna do. I want to hold the NFL hostage. You have an offer from the Steelers. Why have you're not said?

He?

He?

Maybe the NFL decided that they needed to wait more college basket, you know, at games tomorrow. Wait another day, wait for it. Maybe he waits another week. Hey waity, it's March madness. Oh no, we're tipping off now we're not. And they do it like the Joker in the nineteen eighty nine classic Batman, and they shove the mayor off the screen. In this case the NZAA tournament.

Oh, I thought we were gonna get an Aaron Rodgers' announcement, but instead Saint Francis won last night and they're sixteen and seventeen and going to the NCAA tournament. So we need to make sure we talk about that. Oh yeah, let's wait another day, wait a day for for Aaron Rodgers to come to Pittsburgh. Like, really is if if you have that offer, you don't say yes, don't you get a HOGI don't you don't you want to say calling him eight right now? Uh? Don't you don't you seize the narrative and say yes, I'm ready, I'm coming to play this. It would seem that you'd go attack that moment with all the money means. He seemed more more pumped up about staying with the Jets, then it would be going to sign with the Steelers, like come on, man.

It's Aaron Rodgers in Hades Town. Where did you hear that song? Where did you hear that song? I was running on the road. I was running up from Hell, and I looked back to see if Russell Wilson was behind me, and I turned around, and there he goes. There it goes, bro.

It's Aaron Rodgers in Hades Town. Where did you hear that song? Where did you hear that song? I was running on the road. I was running up from Hell, and I looked back to see if Russell Wilson was behind me, and I turned around, and there he goes. There it goes, bro.

I don't have to be faster than the bear or the devil.

I don't have to be faster than the bear or the devil.

I just have to be faster than him. Only one of us made it out. I'm sorry for Sephonie. I'm sorry sorry Russell Wilson. I turned around to see if you were there, and they go down Now I would have to say if I'm if I'm making a prediction for tomorrow, if I'm thinking tomorrow, if this is true, Aaron Rodgers signs tomorrow. We hear about Rogers with the Steelers tomorrow, but again, why would you not sign tonight? But okay, is that we get Rogers to the Steelers tomorrow, and then everything comes down to the Giants because the Giants. When I say the Giants control everything, it's not just Russell Wilson, they control quarterbacks in the draft. Because if the Giants signed Russell Wilson, potentially that takes them out from Shador Sanders to three because they have a quarterback for this year, right does it necessarily? But that could take them out for a quarterback at three, which means Shador Sanders would then slide potentially to the Saints at nine. And if the Saints don't take him at nine, because you know they're paying Derek Carf for the next ten years, and suddenly it's the Steelers at twenty one and the Rams at twenty six. So there's the next two teams that could get quarterbacks. So Shador Sanders could fall all the way through the draft. Conversely, if the Giants don't sign Russell Wilson, then they know they're pretty confident they're getting Shador Sanders or cam Ward in the top three in the draft. So you know that because they're not just gonna walk in and say, yeah, we're gonna run it back with Tommy Cutletz again. They can't do that, right, So you know that that if that happens, then you know where the quarterbacks are going in the draft, because there's no way they sit there with a quarterback sitting there at three and say nope, say yeah Travis Hunter instead, wait, really okay, and then they have to tell Shador Sanders, oh, we're gonna have you come sit in the commissioner's room, and you're not gonna have you sit in and show you on camera as you slide down the draft. Now we're gonna wait and go over here. So the Giants really they hold the key to everything. So after the Steelers will be the first domino with Rogers to fall, then it's gonna be Wilson. And I'm telling you the Giants arena in the mix for Aaron Rodgers. They're not. Wilson tried to go visit a couple of teams visited with So it's the So it's really the Giants are nothing for him. So so again, I'd come back to the beginning of the conversation. If the Giants wanted him, they would have had him by Now. Nothing's gonna happen with Aaron Rodgers. That's gonna make them say, oh, now we're gonna go get Russell Wilson.

I just have to be faster than him. Only one of us made it out. I'm sorry for Sephonie. I'm sorry sorry Russell Wilson. I turned around to see if you were there, and they go down Now I would have to say if I'm if I'm making a prediction for tomorrow, if I'm thinking tomorrow, if this is true, Aaron Rodgers signs tomorrow. We hear about Rogers with the Steelers tomorrow, but again, why would you not sign tonight? But okay, is that we get Rogers to the Steelers tomorrow, and then everything comes down to the Giants because the Giants. When I say the Giants control everything, it's not just Russell Wilson, they control quarterbacks in the draft. Because if the Giants signed Russell Wilson, potentially that takes them out from Shador Sanders to three because they have a quarterback for this year, right does it necessarily? But that could take them out for a quarterback at three, which means Shador Sanders would then slide potentially to the Saints at nine. And if the Saints don't take him at nine, because you know they're paying Derek Carf for the next ten years, and suddenly it's the Steelers at twenty one and the Rams at twenty six. So there's the next two teams that could get quarterbacks. So Shador Sanders could fall all the way through the draft. Conversely, if the Giants don't sign Russell Wilson, then they know they're pretty confident they're getting Shador Sanders or cam Ward in the top three in the draft. So you know that because they're not just gonna walk in and say, yeah, we're gonna run it back with Tommy Cutletz again. They can't do that, right, So you know that that if that happens, then you know where the quarterbacks are going in the draft, because there's no way they sit there with a quarterback sitting there at three and say nope, say yeah Travis Hunter instead, wait, really okay, and then they have to tell Shador Sanders, oh, we're gonna have you come sit in the commissioner's room, and you're not gonna have you sit in and show you on camera as you slide down the draft. Now we're gonna wait and go over here. So the Giants really they hold the key to everything. So after the Steelers will be the first domino with Rogers to fall, then it's gonna be Wilson. And I'm telling you the Giants arena in the mix for Aaron Rodgers. They're not. Wilson tried to go visit a couple of teams visited with So it's the So it's really the Giants are nothing for him. So so again, I'd come back to the beginning of the conversation. If the Giants wanted him, they would have had him by Now. Nothing's gonna happen with Aaron Rodgers. That's gonna make them say, oh, now we're gonna go get Russell Wilson.

His brother Ron had announced he was stepping away from the Cardinals later this year, so we you know, good thoughts to the family there, all the y Insers, the Pittsburgh folks, because they were always so welcoming to me that I would be remiss if we were talking about the Steelers this much and not giving a nod to a guy who was part of that team, part of their organization for forty years.

Smith has good news for the Lakers and Lebron James and a silver lining to his injury. According to many reports, Lebron James returning to Los Angeles for treatment on his groin injury right. Initially was supposed to be out two weeks, and it looks like that's what it's gonna be, and Lebron is back. Everything looks good and potentially he could be back right at the beginning of next week, which would be two weeks. Right, So it's all good news. And when this injury happened, it was all doom and glooming and chicken little running around the sky of Holly. And I saw this, I said, you kinda see this a little bit more with a little bit more nuanced. It's not a serious injury, and we were never from the beginning, this never seemed like it was a serious injury. And Lebron Okay, yes, he's gonna be out a little bit. But number one, was this really a two week injury or was this like it's a week injury. But we can get Lebron a break for a couple of weeks because this is where the silver line and this injury comes in as long as it's not serious. Hey, you're relying on Lebron to get you through to the Western Conference finals at least with Luca this year, and you know he gets banged up and you know he's gonna be running on empty at some point. You I want to postpone that this is the perfect time for two weeks off for him to be able to rest, recuperate and then come back with It's not too close to the end of the season where you're worried about him getting you know that he's rusty, or it's way too long before the playoffs start. No, you're gonna have a nice ten twelve ish games for him to get back in the swing and be ready to go. And let's face it. Do he and Luca really need time to mesh. No, they hit the ground running right away, right, So we told right away, watch watch how well their games mesh with each other. It's gonna be like when the Lakers went and got Paalgasol and they just started winning every single game. So when this injury happened, as long as it wasn't, oh, it's doom and gloom and he's done. I saw this from This is gonna be something that the Lakers. Really it's gonna wind up being a being a boon for them. You know, we're still eight months away from the playoffs so much. Yeah, so this is gonna be a boon for them and a silver lining that. Okay, in the end, it's Lebron getting a two week break. Now, you want to think that it's gonna be with teams that you can handle. Have been able to beat the Nets even without Lebron, you couldn't. You want to try to finish second in the West, but look, anybody can finish anywhere now between two and seven in the West, right, still a long way to go. So as long as Lebron's coming back for the final ten to twelve games, okay, that's me make your final push, and maybe he's gonna be fresher when he returns. This was not the doom and gloom part of the season for the Lakers that we thought it was gonna be. I'm like, Okay, yeah, he'll be back, and watch him come back. I'll make a big book. Watch him come back two weeks after he got hurt. What he'll be back two weeks after he got hurt.
