We'll get to the bottom of it, but right now, it's time for this. Now let's go. Around the sports. KT fuck weeks as all the sports.

1:02Yeah! I can tell you that after three straight losses, the Mavericks are sitting at 7th in the tank at the on standing right there. Reverse standing. So yes, 7th is pretty good. Giving them a 32% chance for a top four pick and a 7.5% chance for the number one pick in the draft. It's good. I worry that when Cooper Flag comes back from his injury, which seems like it'll be very soon, it's going to make it even harder to lose games. Did you see the... So they just went through a stretch where they played Memphis. They played Sacramento, the worst team in the league. They played four and I'm... Anyways, they went two and two during that stretch. So they're about to go on one of the most brutal road trips in the history of the franchise. And their strength of schedule for the remainder of the season is the third toughest in the NBA. That's great. So the league could not accuse them of tanking in there.

2:04What do you want from us? Right. But I don't need any heroic wins. There's a good prize W's in there. I think if you look and it depends on what happens with health and stuff. But if you look at who's missing games and how many games they're missing, I think when it's all said and done just the way the seasonal play out, the Mavericks will have the sixth worst record in the NBA. I do think New Orleans is going to catch them. I wonder if there's a way because the NBA is having the big debate about tanking and how to fix it. So fans can still enjoy going to the games, you know. What if they added tanking? Like if there's a part of tanking is a spanking. Oh, yeah. So the percentage of games where you spank up on teams that you're supposed to spank on, that helps you in the draft lottery percentage. I'm just thinking about ideas. I don't have this. I mean, this is right now it's all shots on goal. Right.

3:04There's a lot of ideas to move forward. But I think if we had the spankathon pulled up and we saw that the Mavericks are beating the teams they're supposed to beat, they should be rewarded for that, rather than just kind of losing and some guys are hurt and getting through it. You can't call it spankathon though. Right, not in Texas. Some people would just be confused. Right. You'd say illegal in Texas. Oh my god, my kid just logged on to spankathon. It's just basketball, dude. Wait a minute. It's the Mavericks fault. You're watching Lola Bunny getting rammed right now. These are the tough times fighting through this, the rest of the season, and what are there? 20 games left or something like that? 22. Doing the math to your bed. It looks like we've got about 22 games left in the season. It's just going to be a little bit of a death march to get to the end. But I can't wait to get to the end. And I hope they lose as many of those 22 games as possible. But what they do in the off season, whether it's trades or the draft, I'm super excited to see the way they start building the teams. Around Cooper Flag. I'm also excited to see who it is that does it.

4:04And get Kyrie back. Man. Yeah. I don't have any insight information on this. I'm strictly reacting to what's happening around me. I would not be surprised at all if it's Matt Ricardi and Michael Finley now. That would not surprise me one bit. I just hit the simulate lottery button three times in a row. And we got the eight pick all three times. Yes, you know, just get your mind set ready for that. And if it's better like last year, we can celebrate that North Park Mall. You clearly want the highest pick. But man, the number one pick is scary. Because the clear NBA player has played 13 games this year. And he pulls himself out of games. And he, if you just watch his footage, he's the no brainer number one pick, especially to play alongside Cooper Flag. We'll trade back for some future picks that we don't have. Yeah, we don't have many. Just like I'm thinking out loud. Yeah. Maybe he drops and the maps get lucky. Maybe they get like the fourth pick or something. And he drops. That'd be great. But I could see the fear of taking him number one. If he doesn't love to play.

5:04But I mean, for the Mavericks, you already have your alpha. So you wouldn't even be counting on him to be an alpha. I don't know. I just want him to get another great piece to pair alongside him. And then I want to see him start building out the roster around him. And I can't wait for that. I can't wait to see what unfolds. They can't miss because of their draft predicament moving forward. This has to be a guy. They have to draft a guy that by the end of his second season is a top three player for the Mavericks. If they miss on that, it's very painful. Now, you know, there's they have picks. They're just going to be lower picks because people can swap with them. And you know, there's a lot of people that'll point out, hey, the Pacers got to the finals last year. And they didn't have anybody drafted in the top 10 on their roster. You basically, you have to hit more than you miss. But this is going to be their last chance to have a high pick for a long time. So they really need to hit. And I feel like if you were in the East, anything could be possible. But the West is just so freaking stacked, man.

6:06Yeah. All right. There you have it. There's around the sports coming up next. It's the neighborhood watch. Where are you going to take us, KT? We have something shocking and shady happening in Alito. I'll tell you what it is next on 971, the Eagle. Drew McIntyre here from WWE. Wheeled in the Claymore can be a life of chaos.
