You thought I forgot, didn’t you? Last night I started working on a potential Dirty 30 podcast at home. It was, in short, a complete disaster. I’ll try that again at a later date.

The numbers in () are the previous spot on the Dirty, and the record in () is that team’s record at the time of the last Dirty 30, which was November 22nd.
