the MBA 72 game schedule will be released in two halves.

Future simple

They're going to do the first half of the season that will run from December 22nd to March 4th.

Present continuous

That's gonna be released right around the start of training camp.

The league is not going to release the second half until later.

Once play has already started to adjust for any postponements, that quote can be reasonably added and a play in tournament is a lock.

Now back to end the season, here is a quick explanation for that.

The seventh seed will face the eighth seed, with the winner advancing to the playoffs.

The winner advances to face the loser of the seven versus eight game and then, lastly, the winner of the nine versus 10 faced with the loser of the seven versus eight to determine that final playoff spot.

So perk is the return of a play internee this season, something nothing or everything.

It's the playoffs before the playoffs, and you know what else it does?

It makes guys take regular season games throughout the long season very important, so they don't have to play in the play in tournament.

So teams they're gonna be going even harder and playing extremely good basketball throughout the season, so they don't fall in that bottom tier of the play off the conferences.

I think it's everything to and I think perk hit on the head.

You know you got to continue to play throughout the season.

I think the playing game in the bubble was excellent.

It was well played on both sides and I said I like this if you are about a month ago because some teams hit their stride late, some teams have injured key injuries early on in the season.

It still allows these guys to get hot at the right time, but at the end of day you wanna be hot going into the playoffs and made the best team to get in and I agree with you, I said.

I said something, but it's everything at the same time because if you're the if you're the 9 10.

See, You're like, man, this is everything.

And if you're that 78 see, you're like, Man, please, we gotta make sure we're hitting our stride at the right time.

One thing KP said this is igniting the fans for what the playoffs is gonna look like weeks later.

I think the playing game was was phenomenal, which led to a great playoffs, which leads to our lead to our champion.

I mean, it's a way to get a few more games in because you know, the regular season is a little bit shorter this year, so it's a way to mbah a little more money.

You generate some more revenue going into the playoffs.

So business side, but also entertaining for fans?

And look, it means is you said that hot teams were going into the playoffs.

So maybe those first round matchups one versus eight or two vs seven are gonna be a little bit better because they've got teams that air raring to go at the bottom of the bracket.

Anthony Edwards had a curious quote recently.

He said that leading up to the draft when he's watching basketball, you know what doesn't really watch much.

If he's not in the game, he said, quote, I can't watch saying he loves to play it, but he's not into watching as much as, say, his first love.

Vince, is this quote something, nothing or everything.

And I say, Here's why I say it's nothing.

I'm playing in in this era now with play with a bunch of young guys.

A lot of these guys don't watch basketball like that.

Once they're done, they go straight to the video games or Netflix or whatever they do.

Um, I think when they show up to practice and they're doing what they do in the arena in the in the game and of course studying when you need to study, that's all I care about.

After that, I mean, there's there's probably I mean you would hear this from a lot of guys, I feel like So this is This is nothing to me.

Oh, Well, Vince, I'm glad you brought up your last part of your career your hall of fame career, because it was with the Hawks.

And I'm glad that you brought up those guys weren't watching basketball, and it showed because they weren't in the playoffs and they were at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

You need to start watching your opponents on your off nights.

Otherwise, you might be going out there and people gonna be putting 30 on you.

Yeah, I think this is nothing but Perk is right.

I think it has to change because this is his job now.

And you understand the interest is of the game by watching film.

I was a football player at heart, and the only time I really watched basketball was when the Lakers were playing.

Other than that, it was football all day, every day.

So I understand where he's coming from But what I love most about this as I know he has a football players mentality, and I was wondering what kind of dog he is.

He's a dog, so I'm excited for him cause I think he has tremendous upside.

But, Matt, don't you think that you could get useful, valuable additional information if you are watching on your absolutely e a different guys play.

I think obviously, now this is his job and they're gonna someone's gonna someone's gonna pull them to the side hopefully and teach him out of watch film and watch games because that's what you need to do with this level.

But I said leading up to this, I didn't think it was a big deal.

Yeah, no, I want to say, I agree with you.

You pick up things that you didn't know before about guys that you don't know or guys that you do know.

But like I said and I've always preached that, like guys, you need to watch this game and get in and get into your film and understand the intricacies of the game.

So, yeah, at some point it needs to change.

And Vince, that's so interesting that you said some of your younger Hawks teammates in your last stop weren't watching.

I know how much basketball they watch in their off time.

We saw LeBron James when he didn't make the playoffs last year.

Say that he still watched every single televised a game because, he said, Oh, I could learn stuff Well, apparently paid off on the title this year, so my advice to Mr Edwards would be to start watching just a little bit more.

You can fit it in in between Monday Night Football on Thursday Night Football, just saying all right.

According to Kevin O Connor of the Ringer, the Warriors have discussed a trade with the Bulls involving their second round pick for the Bulls fourth pick and Wendell Carter Jr.

I'll ask the former warrior, Matt, Is this something?
