No kidding: California overtime law threatens use of grazing goats to prevent wildfires
"And overtime law in California could threaten the use of grazing goats to prevent wildfires. The park supervisor in West Sacramento, Jason Pablo, uses hundreds of goats to munch on long blades of yellow grass in the city. Essentially, mow those down to reduce the fire risk for the upcoming dry season. But new state labor regulations in California are making it more expensive for goat grazing services like Tim Aerosmith's company to operate. We can not fix the current legislation. We will be forced to sell these goats to slaughter and to the option yards. And we'll be forced out of business and probably filed for bankruptcy. Goat herders would be subject to the same labor laws as other farm workers. Hundreds of millions of dollars has been spent on putting out fires, very little has been spent on fire prevention. The changes at goat grazing workers would be entitled to overtime. I'm Ed Donahue.

California's epic melting snowpack means cold, deadly torrents ahead of Memorial Day weekend
"California safety officials are warning that some of the states rivers could be deadly this Memorial Day weekend. Safety officials say California rivers fed by the mass of Sierra Nevada snow pack over the winter have been turned into deadly torrents, at least 7 people have died or gone missing this spring, Justin Sylvia of the Sacramento fire department. This year we're seeing higher water. Faster water and colder water. And Sylvia says some people are taking unnecessary risks. We're seeing a lot of people not wearing life jackets. That's our big message this year is put a life jacket on. With this higher water, you can see snags out there. There's more of that from the surface that you can not see. Sylvia says Sacramento has already had 20 water rescues this year, nearly as many as all of 2022. I'm Donna water

Larry Elder: Not Focusing on Saying Bad Things About Trump or DeSantis
"What do you make of Ron DeSantis as a presidential candidate? I mean, is he a viable challenger to president Trump and de Larry elder? By the way, my website is going to for president dot com elder for president dot com. Elder for president dot com. Sorry about that. Got the wrong one. Elder for president. Let's get that right. My producer is fired. Done. But I ran for governor Michael. I did not say one negative thing about any of my Republican rivals. Not Caitlyn Jenner, not Kevin faulkner, the two term mayor of San Diego. That's the candidate that Kevin McCarthy and the Republican congressional delegation in California wanted. I said not one word about John Cox. He's a guy that Gavin Newsom ran against in 2018. I did not say a single negative thing about any of them. When they tried to get me to do that, I said, look, the issue is not cost. The issue is not Caitlyn Jenner, the issue is Gavin Newsom, the way he shut down the state. In a more severe way than did anybody else? The issue is the fact that people are even California for the first time in a 170 years. The issue is that we're spending more money paying through 12 than ever before with our scores near the bottom. It's just homelessness. So you choose crime. And if we had focused if my opponents had focused that way, then maybe just maybe the first part of the ballot, which is the one revenue some out would have succeeded, and you'd be talking to me from Sacramento. So I intend to do the same thing here. I'm not going to bash Donald Trump. He's had a extraordinary president. He's got a strong record to run on. I think Ronda and his has been an amazing governor of Florida, has a strong record to run on. We should be celebrating the fact we have such a deep, deep bench. Again, I'm auditioning to the American people. Do you think that I am somebody who can carry the American first flag and who is somebody that you feel that you could vote, not hold your nose and vote with happily vote for so we can carry the day in November 2024.

"Golden State needed a win Sunday to avoid the play in tournament and the warriors came through in a big way with a one 57 one O one thrashing of Portland.

Koepka leads Masters, NBA scramble
"A piece for it. I'm Bruce Morton. Brooks Koepka continues to sizzle at Augusta. Winner of four majors, he has a three stroke lead heading into the weekend. On Friday, he crowded a 5 under 67 leaving him at -12. Then really do too much wrong. Maybe the speed kind of got me on a few pots, striking the ball really well, leaving it in good spots. And it's what you got to do. You got to make birdies in these par 5s, take advantage of them and did a good job of that playing in 500. In second place is John romm, who got through ten holes before inclement weather on Friday, suspended play. Pro basketball, the playoff picture in the east was to a degree sorted out when Brooklyn bounced Orlando one O one 84 to clinch the 6th seed. Likes the idea of avoiding the play in tournament. The scouting piece of the preparation for it, it is at a different level. It lets us focus on Philly and hone in to what's next. Miami was chasing Brooklyn, but the heat will have to settle for a play in spot after falling to the lottery bound wizards one 14 one O 8. In the west, Golden State moved into 5th place at 43 and 38 by whooping shorthanded Sacramento one 1997. A half game back in 6th are the clippers, New Orleans is in 7th at 42 and 39 after the pelicans held off the Knicks one 13 one O 5. Trey Murphy was game high with 31 points. I'm just taking what the defense gives me. A lot of it first have, they were running out the line. They were playing me a lot closer, so you know that's when I was getting to the basket. And making plays for myself. So really, that's all it was. Meanwhile, the Lakers pulled into a tie with New Orleans by beating Phoenix one 21 one O 7. Baseball, there was only one team with a perfect record and that is Tampa Bay. The rays are 7 and zero after beating Oakland 9 5.

Sacramento Bee Falsely Accuses Charlie of Trans Lynching Comments
"The things we do at turning point USA and we believe firmly in our core is that we should go to we should intentionally go to places where we are in the philosophical, religious and ideological minority, that we need to go to places where we are not always going to get the warmest welcome. And in fact, I think one of the reasons that we have lost our country is that far too often conservatives are afraid to go into the left wing bastions and speak the truth. And so we had this campus event schedule that University of California Davis for quite some time and what happened last night was something I've never experienced in my now ten years of doing this. I have given over a 120 speeches on campus. I've given over thousands and thousands of lectures and as many of you know, radio and podcast thing. I've never seen what has happened and what is unfolded because it wasn't just the students or the antifa terrorists. What unfolded in the last 24 hours is so telling about how the elites and how leaders are involving themselves in the incitement of violence against conservatives. And I'll prove this to you and I'll show it to you. It's disturbing in more ways than one. So yesterday morning we were hosting our radio program and they were already talking a big game at University of California Davis. And the Sacramento bee, which is the local newspaper in the Sacramento area published a newspaper article, calling me a fascist speaker, and that's not true, but I can roll my eyes and say whatever. But the byline of the article took my breath away. It said, Charlie Kirk is coming to University of California Davis, who has openly called for the lynching of trans people. I have not only have I never said that. I haven't even remotely ever gotten close. It is a fabricated total completely fake lot. But the Sacramento bee ran with it. And so immediately we mentioned it on our program, we emailed ahead of the Sacramento bee. We said, hey, this is an Internet rumor of somebody that's a trans activist that came after Charlie because he didn't like his strong opinion when he said, quote, in the 1950s and 1960s, men would not have allowed men to compete against women in women's sports or go into women's locker rooms, they would have dealt with it.

See, we're dealing with a lot of big right now. We're dealing with very macro issues where the left is trying to take over the country. Now, there's no doubt about it.

The Best Reasons to Vote for Trump
"I think Republicans obviously, listen, I've said and I'll say time and time again, the best reasons to vote for Donald Trump are a couple of reasons, and he mentioned them and his cpac speech, but I think retribution is very important. I think that the American people need justice. I think that American people were sincerely wronged and continue to be wrong by these freaking marxists in The White House and these marxists that are occupying these bureaucratic agencies. So I think justice is very important. We don't use that word on the right often and in my opinion often enough because it's so wrongly used when it comes to people on the left, but justice is very important. The rule of law in the United States of America is very important. Retribution is very important. I know a lot of people, Carl, that's such a dirty word. Trump shouldn't have used that. No. I totally agree with them. We were wrong. We were wrong. And so I have no problem with Trump using words like retribution. At all. At all.

How the White House Gave Putin a Green Light for Ukraine
"Now, we're talking about a Pakistan here, Chad and before we go, I want to make sure we have you wrap up on that, but I also want to get your take on what's happening in Russia, Ukraine, IRC, Xi Jinping, visiting Russia. This is absolutely insane. All right, so just if you would ramp up what you were talking about as far as Pakistan and the ISI yeah, I mean, just I mean, this is our enemy. This is who we've been fighting for the last 20 years when we fight when we say fight and Taliban. And the truth is, we didn't negotiate with our allies. We didn't negotiate with. We didn't negotiate with the Afghan government. We spent 20 years in place. The only people we talked to when I say we, The White House talk to was the Taliban, our enemy of 20 years, and we left Afghanistan without the consensus of the rest of the world. And we had 2500 troops there. We had 2500 troops and 20 places that can name around the world. We still have 50,000 troops in Japan and 40,000 in Germany and 35,000 in South Korea. This is not how the United States strategical leaves places and it created a catastrophe. And left Americans behind cost American lives left a 100,000 Afghan allies behind and left a 40 million vulnerable Afghans including 20 million women and little girls that we raped and for the rest of their life because of this. And so it's complete tragedy. And the world is watching our enemies are watching, which leads us into why Putin invaded Ukraine because he could. Because of the weakness in our White House and he postured against the imposture and the border with a 100,000 troops. Right. Joe, Joe Biden flinched, moved our U.S. troops out of Ukraine, moved our embassy out of Ukraine, the rest of the NATO partners followed and gave a green light for Putin to come in. And now we're sending a 113 plus $1 billion to Ukraine. None of that money is making it to help those people. It's a complete catastrophe. It's only it's only emboldening Putin and continue doing what he's doing and it's incentivizing people like zelensky who are getting all this money and never in this war because why they're making veins and dollars off of it, including corrupt politics in the United States.

Veteran Uses Platform to Bring Hope
"Listen, Chad, there's so much that I'd like to talk to you about. First off, let me say this. Thank you for what you're doing for vets. And when I talk about what you're doing for Bette, people might not know this, you've been extremely transparent. And vulnerable when it comes to your own stories of PTSD, the mighty oaks foundation, if you would just talk about that briefly here because you help out veterans with a biblical perspective that have gone through PTSD, dark times, talk about the mighty oaks foundation if you would. Yeah, well, you know, it started with me. I came home from 8 deployment to Afghanistan as part of a joint special operations command task force. Had my own hardships coming home, dealt with anxiety, depression, severe panic attacks, and diagnosed with PTSD. I had a three year downward spiral that ended in me almost losing my family. And a very real suicide attempt where resulted in people coming around me, helping me to get well and of all the things that people did for me to get well was nothing was probably more profound than a restoration of my faith in the other side of that. I just felt a deep burden of my heart that I really believed God put there for me to help others. And I used the platforms that had been given through a really good reputation to special operations community, being a professional athlete, using those two platforms to broadcast the message of hope to other people struggling just like I was. And that is stored at 12 years ago with the founding of the mighty oaks foundation over the last 12 years. We really do four things. One is we do resiliency programs of active duty military. Based around the world, I've been able to personally speak to about a half million active duty troops throughout the program. Even as much as going to Marine Corps boot camp, every quarter now for the last 8 years, I've been in the Marine Corps boot camp and speaking to recruits on the four pillars of resiliency on spiritual agency and just being the warriors that our country needs them to be. And this world needs them to be.

"But I will say, even if I'm making a joke right now about how Trae Young is shot and the hawks have shot. In the right moment, that's a damn good celebration. The stuff with the Knicks and that playoff series, that's priceless. On the surface, you're like, ice tray is that cool, blah, blah, but I like to tie in with his name. And it's just, I love a simple, easy to execute, celebration. You know, I think he doesn't overuse it either, which I like. It's like, you know, I think Steph, this isn't really a celebration, but Steph does the point to the sky after he hits every shot basically, which is not quite the same thing, but Trey's not bringing it out all the time. He saves it for the big moments, which I think is important. And when you've hit some of the big shots he's hit, you gotta do something. He doesn't have great options. So I love the email. I love the energy. I respect people who hate, you know, I respond to people who wake up early, so they have extra time to be haters. I love the energy from Ezra, but I do think ultimately I'm pro that celebration. The hawks are interesting. Peanuts I'm trying to antagonize me since the summer about the hawks. Winning the southeast division, and I know he did it. He brought that take to a popular basketball podcast that I won't acknowledge. But they're interesting. I don't know what to make of them because they've had some, you know, they beat the bucks a couple times, but once without Trey, once when the buxton of drew and a lot of their wins have come against so, so teams like, I don't really know what to make the hawks yet. That might be a team we have to discuss more at some point. But they've been kind of weird in 15 games and there's so many teams that I just don't know what to make of. And we're at the top of that list too. I think I know we've been talking about in our group text. Okay, fair. No, no. But it's interesting, though, that granted they beat Denver without jokic, but they just went and won games and two places that they really haven't. I mean, that Utah win was a nice win that Utah and it was a very nice win. And so was the Denver one frankly, even without jokic, Brunson has been great. I know that. I think Brunson has been everything they could have asked for. Yes. So there's just so many teams that hello teams that we thought were going to be the biggest tankers are within like a game or two or 500. And the two game series have thrown everything off, like some teams, some teams of like, I think the hawks have played like the hornets and pistons like four times already. Weird stuff like that. It's just some seasoned series are already over. It's almost strange, but I will say, you know, I appreciate the league's effort with what they're doing to make the back to backs like that and the home and homes or whatever else. I do think that it's kind of weird to have them just from the standpoint of. Yes. Like other people said, if you've got a key guy injured that they miss both parts or half of a season series against a team because you're playing teams and Succession like that is a little weird to me. And I am curious whether that. There are always good things. There are always unintended consequences of these decisions.

"Wiseman coming a moody pat Baldwin junior, Ryan Rollins, like moody ended up getting in that game, but when he sent this tweet like none of those guys got minutes, that's 5 roster swamps, you're not getting anything from. Meanwhile, Iguodala is not playing. Clay hasn't been clay like there's just so many question marks up and down the roster. Again, I know we've talked about this a lot of time, but at this point we've identified what the problems are. I think we both agree it's time for them to make a change. Kris, I wanted to tell you about this, but I wanted to get to this email before we get out of here. First of all, I just want to acknowledge Greg, who sent us an email called trailblazers to disrespect. Even though I said I was buying stock in the blazers on Monday and he said, it wasn't good enough. Apparently I wasn't effusive enough in my praise about the blazers. Even though we lost really tough game last night. We're also the only podcast NBA podcast I know that has a special segment dedicated to one team. Right. And that's apparently et cetera. Yeah, we made that last week too. Yeah. Anyway, this email comes in from Ezra. It says NBA player's signature celebration miss. What's up for globe? Loved hearing Rohan and Chris discussion of NBA signature celebrations this week. But I think y'all missed one and I want to hear your thoughts. Specifically, what's your take on the ice tray celebration? I, for one, am low on it, low in all caps. First off, it's a celebration named after a kitchen appliance. I stray, which isn't that cool. Secondly, the celebration itself is essentially Trae Young pantomiming what someone does when they say it's a bit nippy out today. Not exactly the most intimidating act. What are y'all thoughts? This is answer. This email cracked me up, dude. It's too good. It's just too good. Hell, I'll agree for the sake of, if for no other reason, going back to something earlier. Trae Young is shooting 30% from three, 31 if you want to round up. And his team is not much better. I mean, let me look really quickly. Are they the worst three point shooting team in the league so far? They are 27th in the league right now. Which is shocking. They could use Kevin also dead last attempts, which is interesting. Dead laston makes that last an attempt. So from that standpoint, I'll say, yeah, it's a little bit overrated if only because he doesn't get to use it much right now. You know, even though the team has done fine, it's a little bit surprising like when you think about that team and some of the guys they have on it and the way that team was built, granted, they lost herder, but it's a team that you would expect to be knocking down a lot more threes, which maybe it bodes well for them that they've that they've been as decent as they have been record wise so far. Without knocking down those types of shots. John Collins has been kind of struggling from there too. And so it'll be interesting to see what happens with them.

"I don't know if they brag it's not exactly light years, but they've talked for a couple of years now about the idea of melding this group of vets with this group of youngsters and then they also let a couple of guys that were experienced enough walk from a championship team and Peyton and Porter and I mean, we're seeing some of the results of that in addition to the team aging a little bit in addition to the team being a little bit rusty between clay and pool and trying to figure out what role works best for them. It's not to say it was fully predictable, but it starts to make me wonder whether pelton's model was actually spot on about some of what it was seeing. It was always a little bit strange to just kind of assume that this will work because the warriors have a really good top end of their roster and they've got some young guys that have pedigree. That doesn't mean that they're going to be good. It doesn't mean that they're going to fit. So absolutely, they need another vet or two. I'll also say this. And I love them. I understand I wouldn't have been itching to get him off the roster either. But you have a guy in Iguodala that really doesn't play. I mean, they're having a lot of roster spots right now that are giving them nothing. They're not giving them much. Iguodala's not doing anything. Yeah, yeah. You know, so I don't know what that looks like. I mean, part of me thinks that maybe they could try a little bit more of something, but they also might have already been doing it. Like the idea of playing mostly their vets in their key guys that you know can play together. And maybe playing one of their young guys at a time. Saying that like, look, we will score enough between staff and Wiggins and the other guys, we can score enough, just go out and play like we've let you on fire from a standpoint of defense. We have to defend better. Whether that's coming on, whether it's moody, whatever. But it does feel like there's just been too much kind of maybe propaganda is the word or just belief that because these young guys have watched there was definitely and I think I was guilty of it. There was an assumption that these guys were ready to step in and be contributors and I definitely never bought the two timeline thing is like, oh, we're going to be dispersed and for the 15 years after Steph retires we're also going to be great and it's like, no, no, no, this only works because you have Steph Curry. But I did think that a lot of these guys were going to be more ready to contribute than they were.

"Two of the three or four most illuminating sequences that I've seen have generally been Steve Kerr talking. And part of me wonders a little bit if that's because he has a TV background and so maybe he's cooler with the networks and maybe to some extent does it mind what shared but I'm always blown away or not always but sometimes blown away I remember a couple years ago it was him talking to Durant about involving the rest of the offense. Right. And I was like, oh wow. You could tell there were fractures within the Durant relationship with the warriors. I was like, that's really interesting that that was put out there for all of us to see. So granted, this wasn't that, but the other night during that game, he's basically just like, guys, come on, like, raw raw. He's just trying to get them to play with passion any sort of passion. Regardless of what it is that brings it about because he can't get the defending champions to play hard. And maybe it wasn't just that, but also he didn't say it directly to him, but it also felt like we're just out there playing. It feels like a wreck game, like a pickup game. It felt like he was talking to Klay Thompson because clay just kind of granted he has struggled granted he's taken it on the chin as far as the criticism, whether it's from Charles Barkley, the media, you know, it has been a huge uphill climb for him. But the challenge with him is that he does so much to try to will himself back into a rhythm that it's like there's not even another four guys out there up from his team. And it felt like to some extent when Kurt talked about the fact that we're playing as individuals. He's not talking about Steph, who's going off for 50. He's talking about clay. So anyway, to that point, I am ready to say, I think, and it doesn't fix their defense necessarily.

"You can't really debate it, but their record just isn't where the selfie. Of course. I think the Celtics would have fallen off. Yeah. No, I think we did a podcast before. The season start I did it with Ben gulliver and I said, is this Celtics window closed? I mean, I wasn't being completely serious, but there's something that you said about can it seem lose a coach and it's one is important as you Joker was and be as good and they've been fantastic, man. They've been so good. I'm with you. I do think Tatum is definitely going to be in the top three of the MVP conversation. All season long, and if he continues at this face, I would bet on him to win. The reason I want to bring up the Celtics and I think something really fascinating is brewing here. Boston's offense, like I said, it's been incredible. They're catch and shoot numbers are insane. Like grant Williams was also shooting 48% from three. I don't have the latest numbers, but I wrote the story, I think, for Wednesday, like him, Horford, Derek white, those guys were all shooting at least 40% Brogdon was at like 38%. Sam Hauser oh my God, PETA was dropping in Sam Hauser stats the other day. That guy's on cloud 9. I don't even want to acknowledge the houser problem. He's the one taking the most. He's taking the most threes of anyone on that team per 100 possessions and he's drilling them. He's over 50% with them. So it's basically what we were saying before about hurt her, except you know, granted someone that it doesn't play as much as herder, but it's still on a team where everybody else is contributing that way, particularly with some of the injuries that they've had. You'll absolutely take it. And again, we'll see regression to the mean, but everybody they plug in is a great point. Another thing is even if their offense aggressive, I don't know if they'll finish as the best offense. I didn't be a history. The thing is, it just makes sense on paper when you look at it because they're shooting is so good. And if Jalen and Jason beat there one on one matchup, your defense is screwed. Like once you get caught in a rotation against these guys, they swing the ball so well. But even if the offense gets worse, then they get Robert Williams back and that changes their defensive ceiling from what it is now, but what's interesting to me is the Celtics have this incredible offense. Meanwhile, I looked this up today. Do you know what the defensive rating of Milwaukee starting 5 is with brook Lopez, Giannis, holiday, and Grayson Allen? If I had to guess, because where do they rank team wide on their not the top seemingly anymore? They are, they are. There's still number one at one O 4.9. So I'm assuming that their bench falls off quite a bit. So that starting 5 has to be like high 80s low 90s. 89.2, Chris. 89. That you were right there, brother. So maybe I'd looked at it a couple weeks ago.

To me, it's really fun to watch. I love watching guys. Operate in the post and like, yeah, man, he is bringing it into people's chest in the restricted area every night in a way that strongest guys in the league, whether it's bam adebayo dream on green, whoever it is, like he's not afraid to go, you know, he's got that wiry strength that's really impressive to watch. You mentioned her. I remember when the hawks made the Murray trade, I told our good buddy Michael pina, I was like, what bothers me about this is I know they're going to make a cost cutting move. And that bothers me sure enough they trade herder soon after, 'cause they don't want to pay everyone. And you could argue sure would hurt her of a place in Atlanta's rotation, you know, they want to duck the luxury jacks. Dude, he's been lights out. He is 5 ten from three, 51% from three on 7 attempts per game. 7 attempts per game in this man is shooting 51%. He's not shooting wide open catching shoots, man. No. Coming off screens, rising, launching, like, it's been, it's an incredible and the hawks just, it was a salary dump trade. I mean, you know, they got holiday back and he's been fine for them, but it's pretty incredible. And yeah, and they're shooting a big purple light into the sky every time they win. That's awesome. You mentioned they play fast. I mean, it feels like I don't know that it necessarily have an identity just yet and it's funny to think that a Mike Brown team is like this bad on defense, but you know, I think there are 8 and 6, it's still feels like we're not at the real part of the season yet.

"I know you've been really excited watching this team closely. What makes you most excited about the kings at the moment? I mean, it's a number of things, really. It's the fact that they have some of the most fun lineups in the league. I mean, they've played fast for years. That's really not unusual. But I think the combination of shooting that they've got makes them really fun, hurt her has been a fantastic addition for them. I think it's fit really well. It's a bonus at center. It's been awesome. Yeah, it has. And it's been cool to kind of see him just bully people the last several games where Fox has had really good vision for the last few games too, where he's hitting guys with some crazy angles on passes and stuff like that. They have some real bounce on this team. They've essentially benched rashawn Holmes, but they have all these other guys. This is crazy. He's good. I mean, I remember it wasn't this year that we were gonna put him in our top 100, but it was last year, and I think it was Jeremy Wu, who, you know, shout out to whoo. I will not call him a voice of reason because I normally disagree with this man on his voice of unreason, okay? An agent of chaos. He's seen us neck in the group chapter. Yes. But I will say this though, and he raised a good question last year because I want to say like, okay, whatever. If you've got. 100, right, if you have 5 or 6 guys from the warriors in the top 100, that's one thing. They're the warriors. We had like 6 or 7 from the kings and the kings, as everyone knows, have the longest running playoff drought in NBA history. And so, you know, it's weird. I think it's okay potentially to have like more than the sum of your parts as far as, you know, it's one thing to have more guys on your team that are talented that aren't actually like a good fit, but we had so many guys on the list where we was like, we should probably cut this off somewhere. Like, do you guys really believe that strongly and rashawn? Because I think we had him like 97. Last year. And it is quite a tumble to not even see him in a rotation, but this is a team that could potentially be a winning team. And maybe not everybody fits winning basketball. And rashawn Holmes certainly has holes in his game. So looking at guys like Shi mezzi metu, just Terrence Davis has looked like he's been he bought some of the stuff he's done some of the stuff he's done with the ball and just kind of one on the nets. He did. He had like, he's had a couple nasty spin moves. It's just a really, really fun team.

"All these other teams going to step it up on the defensive end once the playoffs come around. This other's just playing hard. Fair question. Everybody else, because they're relying on that. But they're ahead of everybody in that sense. Yeah. That thing kind of narrows down. Email got asked about that today. I think he kind of just brushed it off and said, oh, this stuff with translate. But transition game tightens up a little bit in the playoffs. Shooting becomes a lot more important. That's obviously an area they lack in quite a bit. Would they shoot tonight? Tonight was actually a ridiculous shooting night for them. Yeah, they were 50%, I think, from three. And that's all a Tatum and brown, essentially, and prichard going off. So they have some of those explosive nights in them. But mostly you're talking about a 33 to 36 at best percent, 3.2, which is fine. That's not the worst in the league, but there's some nights where they really go cold, like 18% against Detroit, a couple bad ones before that go on state wasn't great. So there's lingering concerns with this group, but I'm very confident. I've put myself out there and said, they're probably the team to beat in the east, just the way they're playing, the point differential of this number one. Number two in conference record behind Miami. The record's not number one, two wish, but it could be soon. 11 games to go, they could really work their way up there in the standings. And it looks like they're gonna hear just based on who they're playing late in the year and a lot of competition against teams like the bucks and the bowls who are in that race. That road trip ten the year against Chicago Milwaukee and Memphis is going to be electric. But 11 ago here, stretch run really starting to take shape.

"The first half of this season, it felt like the Celtics were, you know, they probably had a worse record than the kings, to be honest, start the year. So, you know, it's turned around dramatically for the Celtics here. And it's honestly a special run that they're on. I don't know how deep they're going to go into the play. I don't know what's going to happen next because like we've talked about, you know, some of these teams they've played. The guys have been undermanned or they've been bad teams. So yes, the subjects are taking care of business and they're dominating opponents and they're playing the best basketball arguably in the NBA over the last three months here. But you have to wonder how that's going to change when the playoffs come around. Teams start to lock in on defense on their own end. Guys get healthier. Rotations shorten a little bit. So there's a lot of questions that still ask me where constantly checking the standings to try to figure out who the Celtic should want to play and who they match up with best. So it's not like they're this shoe in number one team where it's like, yeah, give us whoever you want. We'll just take care of business. It doesn't feel that way, but the difference is they should be able to go toe to toe with pretty much anybody in the Eastern Conference. So I'm not saying that they're gonna win it against any team, but they should be competitive and it should make for a decent series. So Celtics had a chance to go up to three today with Dallas in Philly, Dallas obviously has been on a tear going back to that win on Sunday, but Philly did handle them here. 32 from embiid 24 from harden. So they stay in three. Celtics firmly in four now, a game over Chicago who lost here. Chicago that works tonight against Phoenix. So that's where you want to be, essentially, I'd say it's like that three to four ish range. You either get a Cavs team or raptors team. I think that's our most exciting outcome is the Toronto series, or the Chicago boss thing, which will probably have the potential to be dare I say O 9 S I'm sure you really love that series, Jimmy..

"And Brown got going so I guess maybe that's part of it. But these guys don't play a lot of minutes together. So there was plenty of opportunities for Sacramento in that first half to throw some doubles, throw some blitzes away. They started to do them the second half. He slowed way down, but it was way too late. They were already down 23 at the start of the third quarter there. So this is the game with him. I still think you can throw him off a little bit if you put some. If you make other guys hurt you, we've seen that in some recent losses like Dallas, but if you just try to guard tape and one on one right now, he's in a place where he's just going to scorch you. He's got the flamethrower out right now. I thought he was going to go for 50 in this one starting with 22 early in the second. Yeah, I mean, he was on. And even when they doubled them, he was finding ways to kind of get out of that. You know, his passing is just on another level right now. He's seeing the court much clearer than he was to start the year. And that's really kind of unlocked him. I think that's made him more of a more confident player on both ends. The fact that he's, you know, I think not thinking as much out there. He's just kind of letting the game come to him and using his instincts. So I think that that's translating to his comfortability on the offensive end. And like, man, every shot he takes, you just kind of think it went in. I mean, his field goal percentage tonight was unbelievable. I think I saw 12 or 15 if that's how it ended. 12 of 16. 16. Okay, yeah, so I mean, really, you can't ask for anything better than that. I mean, if you're not his style of play. And then, you know, we gotta, you know, we joke about not mentioning jaylen Brown all the time, but we do have to give him his props as well, because him and Tatum were kind of going back and forth tonight. And it wasn't like in a bad way. It wasn't like one guy's offense was hurting the other guy. So this was one of those games where both players were on. And, you know, I would say making each other better. Which is one of our big concerns to start the season in last season was their inability to do that. It was like my turn your turn. We said that a million times. So not the case tonight. And listen, they needed these guys tonight because the bench continues to be an issue and I know we'll get into that a little bit later. But these are your two, this is your two headed monster Brown and Tatum and you're only going to go as far as these guys take you and tonight they took you as more than more than as sure. It.
