Last night, I will say, Tuesday night too, you don't have any competition with anything else that you had to go up against yet.
We still got WNBA playoffs in the postseason, getting ready to head back to Atlanta.
And so it was a great opportunity to just sit around and digest a bunch of basketball.
We get the full slate tonight, but Dad, your biggest takeaway from night one in the NBA where we saw the defending champs against LeBron James, a renewed rivalry in the West, last year's number one seed in the Eastern Conference.
Well, I mean, listen, the Celtics Pistons being on a three in the afternoon was a bit of a bummer, and the Pistons getting a win.
We know they had the best record in the East last year and unfortunately got ousted in the second round.
I think it was – I was looking at how – the chemistry worked with LeBron and Jalen Brown and Tyrese Maxey and that whole crew.
And it seemed to work out pretty well because we had the comparison of the heatles back with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh.
But as we talked about, LeBron's in a way, way different situation than he was more in his prime with the heat.
Knicks had the ring ceremony, which is just the rings that go out in championship games now are just unbelievable.
I mean, as he's trying to get his third straight NBA MVP, which, again, only three people have gotten, Bill Russell, Will Chamberlain, and Larry Bird.
So, I mean, to have your name possibly alongside those three would be unbelievable.
That, to me, to keep an eye on because these two teams, obviously the rest of these teams will play each other again, but I just love the vitriol between these two teams.
