0:56

traveled largest took her really early by because

0:58

1:00

you're here. Does Rochelle that I got to witness

1:02

the Miami Heat order the code red? Cheeses? What

1:04

1:10

a few good men. Are guess it is as

1:12

a movie you have seen. Wow Wow Look

1:15

1:17

no way of knowing. I'll tell you a

1:19

movie that you have seen. What? The Miami

1:24

Oh that movie. Why do in our

1:26

men and a horror movie movie gives

1:28

me nightmares? That movie give me nightmares

1:30

last night. I mean because. Also.

1:32

Need it And I do that. We knew

1:35

that this could happen. Yeah, Pretty.

1:37

Much. Blew. His body I

1:39

was every conversation before the game, Charlotte

1:41

and. This. The idea of like

1:43

who how out is a team went to Syria

1:45

and villages that I've always thought about the play

1:47

offs. Kind. Of like the draft

1:50

lottery Naga grub lottery. Every team gets

1:52

a thousand. Combinations. Right

1:54

though we're going to be. There are thousand

1:56

combinations and everything gets a certain amount of

1:58

combinations out of those. Yeah, That if.

2:01

These. Number and combos Hit

2:03

men. You. Win the lottery

2:05

right? So the team with though

2:07

the best chances of like a

2:10

hundred and forty different number combinations

2:12

of the thousand, right? I.

2:14

Think about of same way in the playoffs

2:16

two teams day. There's

2:18

a thousand. Different ways

2:20

this can go. right?

2:24

Favorite. Lab. Like the biggest,

2:26

how big of a favorite them I have

2:28

seven hundred fifty A and and maybe nine

2:31

hundred others combinations of the underdog on the

2:33

as a hundred Elsa. so. What

2:35

are the hundred? Scenarios.

2:38

Where you end up winning the series. The

2:40

division, the lottery and the play offs is

2:42

a lottery is truly chance to coin flip

2:44

in there as yeah. The. Play Offs.

2:47

The. Teams have agency that they can

2:49

control or influence how these. Certain.

2:52

Combinations come up and other ones know. What?

2:54

The Miami he did last night

2:56

was the hit all the numbers.

2:59

That they needed to hit me made it happen.

3:01

And. It made and by controlling pace the

3:03

me to happen by. The. Defensive.

3:06

Excellence. Of brilliance of them out

3:08

a mile. And they may

3:10

to happen by hitting a lot of theories

3:13

as but not crazy. Three is not contested,

3:15

Three is not. Oh my God.

3:17

someone's on fire. Hinder is it was

3:19

just good basketball. Also. The Celtics were

3:22

letting them hit three, The celtics were daring

3:24

them to hit threes. And then the heat

3:26

were. and at no point where the celtics

3:28

like, maybe we should stop daring themselves, Maybe

3:31

we should guard Kevin Martin. We

3:33

should leave him in the corner and say you know my

3:35

buddy like go for it. Is. Fun isn't

3:37

funny. They're like I said I was Idea

3:39

Mchale of mine got booed. Every

3:42

single time his name was mentioned. some

3:44

real every time you take the ball.

3:47

He. Checks in the game. not a

3:49

huge until my booth.it a there's a

3:51

wimp when we found somebody a vow

3:53

Number sixteen girl of Martin's a new.

3:56

Arena get really angry at lower the heat

3:58

Someone like all yeah. Him when he

4:00

called are not be booed deal of Martin

4:02

getting for a getting a foul call. I

4:04

mean. That's a sign of life

4:07

from nice expands because he saw in the

4:09

fourth. Quarter as a building went silent Hill.

4:11

well. This others are down like nine. The

4:13

oh hey, you know their forty. One seconds

4:15

left. Like obviously, What? You

4:17

know, the most pure. Humans. Are Mothers or

4:19

morning When Me: And. Other

4:21

was about because it was like really loud

4:24

at moments yet little then I remembered our

4:26

are among the most beautiful park what do

4:28

some Tatum Went to the Fredo one in

4:30

the fourth quarter and with three people were

4:32

setting Mvp. Dude. I'm

4:34

not lying, It was like. You could

4:36

hear like just filling a sad model of

4:38

and. Okay, that

4:40

was different. I mean. By. Igor

4:42

a new game deal. Brother goes every the

4:44

line. Em of the building

4:47

is shaking. And. Even as a

4:49

guy who. Was. Not going to win

4:51

mvp right? So. He hears a see

4:53

things mean about the South emit into a

4:55

teen. They. Want the Eastern Conference finals Against.

4:57

Cats and I wrote an article for

5:00

Sports Illustrated ah or I sorted out

5:02

roasted online yet to see. Certain.

5:04

Up Rose said a little bit but I

5:06

said America would love the Celtics if they

5:08

weren't from Boston. Because everybody hates

5:10

bottom seems. But. They lot but like

5:12

the Celtics. At that point we're so. Love or

5:14

lovable Ever so. Lovable they played was so

5:16

much to a depleted the kind of joy that we

5:19

see tired of maxi play. With Isaiah

5:21

Thomas, I'm. Filipino.

5:23

American rookie Brown as a second year player.

5:25

yeah, I think it was a Gordon Hayward

5:28

Experiment is like sort of funny in itself.

5:30

Season in our poor guy got her to like mean

5:32

a lot of money. But

5:34

to me, what we're seeing now is

5:37

like. There's. A little

5:39

bit of broken as even in the regular season you

5:41

know my than saying like as a Celtics fan it's

5:43

so weird. Because. It feels like to

5:46

sort of waiting for disaster a set of

5:48

celebrating excellence and I really like last night

5:50

was a part of that disaster that people

5:52

been waiting for. an awful it is one

5:54

game. itself does have a monster series

5:56

they could get their act together but there

5:58

was a sense of does defeatedness and

6:01

just like misery in watching this

6:03

team and Missoula where it's like he's subbing

6:06

the game as if it's a regular season

6:08

game. He's like, well, down

6:10

in the end of the third quarter, let's put Sam

6:12

Houser and Peyton Pritchard in. And also Sam

6:14

Houser was the only one who was like actually hitting three. It was

6:16

also very confusing. But I just think, Amin,

6:19

that there is this sense of the vibes

6:21

are bad and the fans are

6:24

not bringing the energy in the way that they could help

6:26

reverse those vibes. There's a couple of things, a couple of

6:29

directions I want to go with this. Number

6:31

one, you know who called all of this prior

6:33

to game two? My bartender

6:35

Joe in Boston. Shout out

6:37

to Joe, the bartender in Boston. Can you tell me what

6:39

bar he's in? You know what? I

6:42

will. Yeah. It's the

6:44

W. Oh, see, because in my head I had it. It's like,

6:46

you know, the sevens. The 10 or

6:48

whatever. Yeah. Oh, amazing bar. Oh,

6:51

yeah. Oh, yeah. No, but no.

6:54

You know, I see him a lot

6:56

there and he's always he is

6:59

like, remember, we tried to

7:01

do a man on the street in Boston

7:03

and you couldn't get enough like, Angster.

7:07

Let's break the fourth wall here. We shot something in Boston

7:09

when I asked people what their greatest fear about the Celtics

7:11

was and everyone was like, I have none. Yeah. And

7:14

I was like, oh, we are not going to

7:16

wear it. We are screwed. They were. They

7:19

were. It was an air of

7:21

like arrogance. Arrogance. Like dismissed. It's

7:23

not just kind of like, oh, we're going to kill

7:25

him. We're kind of like, well, where is that for

7:27

the poor? Right. I'm going

7:29

back to Harvard. People who don't have wins.

7:32

There you go. That's exactly what

7:34

I came across. Joe was

7:36

who we were looking for because Joe on Tuesday

7:38

night is telling me all of the stuff like,

7:41

dude, I'm worried. I don't like

7:43

the what happens when they can't hit these

7:45

shots. I'm not. I don't trust this

7:48

rotation. It's not deep enough. This was just too good

7:50

of a coach. You know, he's going to make adjustments.

7:52

The guy got to make adjustments like he read me

7:54

the whole thing. And then sure

7:56

enough, Wednesday, it played out exactly

7:58

how he called it. Can we get Joe

8:00

on the show? I think we can. Next

8:03

stop, be there for game five. I'll ask Joe if you

8:05

want to come on the show. Great. But

8:08

you know who else called at

8:10

least part of what you just said

8:12

about the fans and the entitlement? Donnie

8:14

Wahlberg. Donnie Wahlberg. My

8:16

man Donnie. Let's see what he had to say. I don't know

8:19

if it's all those years of the Patriots. We

8:23

assume we're going to win now, but we

8:25

as fans cannot get complacent. We got to

8:27

keep our mind right and stay focused and

8:29

locked in the way we want the team

8:31

to. Can't expect them to lock in if

8:33

we don't lock in. Okay. I

8:36

mean, I never thought I would say this.

8:38

I completely agree with Donnie Wahlberg. Also,

8:40

can I tell you a real quick story? Dottie

8:42

who was a woman who worked in the cafeteria

8:44

at the Boston Globe when I worked there, she's

8:47

one of my favorite people in this world. I hope she's doing

8:49

all right. That building was demolished, I think,

8:51

or it's just not. I hope she left before they did that. Same.

8:55

She would make fun of me when I would get

8:57

a salad. She once said, you know, Mark Wahlberg is

8:59

in the building today. I was like, oh, cool, Dottie.

9:02

My sister went to prom with Donnie. I

9:04

have a real soft spot for Donnie Wahlberg,

9:06

so I'm glad that we

9:08

agree on the family. It was cool to see

9:11

him put out a step-by-step

9:13

blueprint of how the fans should react.

9:16

A step-by-step blueprint. What

9:18

reference is that that I'm not getting? Am

9:20

I the only one here? No. Do

9:23

you know? Is that a

9:25

song? Donnie Wahlberg was

9:27

in New Kids on the Block. Wait,

9:30

what? You guys know that, right? You

9:33

guys not know that Donnie Wahlberg was in New Kids on the

9:35

Block? I think somewhere in my head I did, but I had

9:37

forgotten it or I didn't know. Wait. New Kids on the Block

9:39

was a musical? I know, I know, I know, I know. I

9:41

know, I know. Producer and it's like, what

9:43

can you be like? I'm a child. I don't know these

9:45

things. New Kids on the Block was

9:47

a musical group of the late 80s, a boy

9:49

band that was built basically to be a white

9:52

version of New Edition. Okay, great. We

9:54

glad, okay, Donnie, shout out Donnie. Yeah,

9:56

and all the other ones. We gotta move on. This

9:59

is too depressing. Um, really

10:01

quick before we move on, one

10:03

last thing. You

10:05

remember last year when the

10:07

Celtics went down 3-0. Yeah, I'm still

10:09

completely broken because of it. Well, Dalen

10:12

Brown at the time infamously had the

10:14

quote like, don't let us win one. Don't let

10:16

us get one. Right? Don't

10:18

let us get one. And then they got one and they got two and I

10:20

think we have a game seven and like they in the blue thing, but like,

10:22

oh, that was a pretty, pretty like prescient

10:25

thing to say. Well, after

10:27

the game last night, Jimmy Butler took

10:29

the Instagram and there it

10:32

is. Yeah. Okay. So

10:34

it's a Photoshop of Jalen Brown with Jimmy Butler's head on it.

10:37

Don't let us get one attributed to Jalen

10:40

Brown. You know, the one thing I will say to Jimmy,

10:42

first of all, how would you describe Jimmy's

10:44

face to the audio listeners? Oh, diabolical. Yeah,

10:46

I would say, he'd eat in grin. There

10:48

you go. Yeah. Okay. Same

10:51

two sides of the same coin. Yes. I would

10:53

also say though, the Celtics didn't win that series. No. He's

10:56

sort of saying we might take it to seven,

10:58

but we're going to lose. Yeah, sure. Maybe. Or

11:01

maybe like they let them get one

11:03

a lot sooner than the Heat

11:05

let the Celtics get one last year. So

11:07

we'll see. I mean, look, there's

11:09

going to be a game five in Boston.

11:11

I will be there. Okay. And I will

11:13

be coming back to report my findings. I

11:16

sort of like your findings from

11:18

Boston almost better than like my

11:20

being there because I go there like I just saw

11:23

Donny there and I got this like paying as

11:25

like, Oh, I'm home. I love it. Like,

11:27

Oh, these people get her a Dunkin Donuts.

11:29

Yeah. Seriously in

11:31

a sponsorship. But you know,

11:33

I like hearing your more neutral take on

11:35

things from Boston. That's

11:38

my job. Yeah. All

11:41

right. All right. There's another series

11:43

that's going to start tonight. We're not going to

11:45

start tonight. We're going to continue tonight. And Nick's

11:47

and Sixers, but the big story,

11:49

Charlotte, as the Knicks try

11:51

to go up three Oh in the series,

11:53

this is something that's insane to say. I

11:55

mean, look, this is happening. The Knicks are

11:57

one of the best teams in the NBA.

12:00

know, right? I

12:02

talked to a lot of people last night. That's what I

12:04

like to do when I'm walking and I see players and

12:06

coaches and other media people. You're the mayor of any arena

12:08

you're in. But I like to ask them about stuff that

12:10

has nothing to do with what we're dealing with here. And

12:13

so the question I asked everybody was, how

12:15

crazy is it watching Embiid after

12:18

game two look

12:20

distraught in a way that you don't typically

12:23

see that early in a series? And I

12:25

think we have the sound in the

12:27

video here. So we can

12:29

gauge, roll it through. We're good.

12:31

We don't win this series. So

12:34

again, this is one of the things

12:37

where print doesn't do audio justice, audio

12:39

doesn't do video justice, right? The

12:41

print is what he just

12:43

said right there, right? And you read it and print

12:46

like, okay, cool. That's what guys say when they're down

12:48

to it. Right. The audio, you hear the voice like

12:50

this is a lot sadder and less defiant than the

12:52

words are. But you know, whatever, maybe

12:54

just tired. The video is him

12:56

not making eye contact. Just headed down

12:59

and he's scratching his hair and

13:01

he's like, oh, we should be up. Like

13:05

it definitely gave the

13:07

vibe of defeated. 100%.

13:10

And I mean, to me what

13:12

this is, this feels very personal to

13:14

Embiid. It feels like he is, he

13:16

knows how hurt he is. We see

13:18

him hurting out there. Like he's playing,

13:21

which testament to him, he's still making a

13:23

huge, he's still the difference maker on that

13:25

team, but it looks like it's hurting him

13:27

a lot. And I think physically or

13:30

emotionally? Both. Okay. Physically, he

13:33

like also when he would get to the free throw line,

13:35

he would do like his, did he get hit in the

13:37

eye recently? Yeah. Well, he didn't get hit in

13:39

the eye. He got when he got fouled, he

13:41

fell down and one eye started blinking rapidly while

13:43

the other one stayed still. So there's a lot

13:45

going on physically where I feel like

13:48

that was the look of someone who

13:50

sort of knows what direction this is

13:52

going in. And like this guy is

13:54

a generational player. He's been hurt so

13:56

much another year where he's looking

13:58

down the barrel of like, cool. Just

14:00

not gonna make it. I Want

14:03

to also point out quickly that the

14:05

Sixers filed a grievance after game two

14:08

down more he leads the

14:10

league He's the best in front offices

14:12

that filing grievances and putting in like

14:14

all the paperwork So

14:16

they asked Tibbs about it after the last two minute

14:18

report came on. This is what Tibbs had to say

14:21

I'm more concerned with the 46 minute

14:23

report. I knew they couldn't call file there.

14:25

I'm watching away jail and being guarded I

14:27

watched the whole game that two minutes worth

14:29

that I'm locked into game three. That's

14:31

what that's where we are This

14:34

man is quickly becoming my favorite

14:36

soundbite machine. The 46 minute

14:38

report is fantastic

14:42

Fantastic. I mean look I think that if

14:45

The fact that the Knicks are doing this and

14:47

Jalen Brunson is not playing the way Jalen Brunson

14:49

usually plays I feel like he's due for a big game

14:53

I also feel like the Lakers Or

14:55

do for getting their act really?

14:58

Yeah, really? Okay. I like to hear

15:00

this Can we roll can we say

15:02

what we roll LeBron here, please? D-Lo

15:05

clearly gets hit in the face on a drive The

15:09

fuck do we have a replay center versus it's gonna

15:11

go that doesn't it doesn't make sense to

15:13

me making those things to me And

15:17

now if our dear producers would

15:20

also roll the ad storming out

15:22

video. Oh I

15:25

don't know if you were screened or what

15:27

happened that last time your mom

15:29

worried made a shot I'm

15:36

gonna say this That to

15:38

have that happen that has to be

15:40

the worst feeling in basketball like other

15:42

than getting hurt, right? Yeah, that last

15:44

minute buzzer beater that your mom Marie made

15:46

over Anthony Davis face and then

15:49

you fall backwards into their bench

15:52

celebrating mobbing Jamal

15:54

Murray, this is that those two that was another

15:56

interesting thing to me that in the same vein

15:58

of the Embiid Video where

16:00

they're sort of showing their cards a little

16:03

too much like you act like

16:05

you've been there cuz you've been there You know

16:07

what the energy that I got off of

16:09

LeBron and ad what? I'm

16:11

a show I've never watched, but I'm very familiar

16:14

with the quote right it's Aaron

16:17

Paul and Breaking Bad That's

16:21

what I feel like they feel like

16:23

that about the nuggets They can't keep

16:25

getting away with this 100% just this

16:27

feeling of like it's unfair

16:30

And it's clearly unfair, but nobody seems

16:32

to care nobody cares It's the same

16:34

as Michael Malone being like they're all talking about

16:36

the Lakers now the Lakers are like they're

16:39

all winning They're beating them. You

16:41

think the Lakers did the Lakers don't let him

16:43

get one. What's going on man? Let me ask

16:45

you a question. What if the

16:47

nuggets repeat? What do you think Michael Malone speech is

16:49

gonna be? Man he's

16:52

good didn't he say like I'm LeBron's daddy Gonna

16:55

say I'm LeBron's dad. I'm LeBron's mom.

16:58

I'm LeBron's wife. I'm LeBron's kids I

17:01

I just love the idea that like there

17:03

was a point where The

17:05

the Nuggets are like why do you guys

17:07

keep talking about the Lakers even after we

17:09

beat them? So I'm interested to see after

17:12

the series is over when the Nuggets

17:14

eventually kill the Lakers Will

17:16

there still be a lot of conjecture what the Lakers

17:19

19:38

That seriously stadium because you'll hear more

19:40

about draft Kings and On has to

19:42

offer throughout the show draft Kings the

19:44

Crown. Yours Scalia or mean.

19:47

We. Are going to start out today the

19:49

first that. The. First team

19:51

to score ten points in

19:53

L a first is Denver.

19:56

L A is my real bad. This is a real.

19:58

Bad. Breath that I'm glad. first team

20:00

to score 10 points in tonight's game

20:02

Lakers Nuggets is that the Lakers

20:05

the line right now is Lakers minus 130. So

20:07

is LA gonna come out hot in

20:10

front of the home crowd? Are they gonna take that Anthony

20:12

Davis mic drop energy and bring it to the

20:14

game? I'm gonna say no.

20:17

I'm gonna say no because

20:19

the hot start Laker game

20:21

happened already. That was game two. Yeah. They

20:24

gave them a great start. Yeah. And then

20:26

it all fell apart. Their favorite

20:28

to do that. Yeah. I don't

20:30

believe it. Well look there's

20:33

two ways to look at betting lines

20:35

right. One is what's gonna happen and

20:37

two is what is everybody betting on.

20:39

So like let's let's try

20:41

and like even the money out. Right.

20:43

I imagine it's one

20:45

of those of the latter there but I

20:48

don't I don't I see the Nuggets I see

20:50

Mike Malone basically saying okay guys we gave him

20:52

the one game where they we give them hope.

20:54

Let's not give them any more hope because

20:57

if they come out again and play close

20:59

then it's like even if we win game three

21:02

they still got this stupid. They want to

21:04

put the doubt of all doubts in their

21:06

mind of you can't

21:08

do this. You can't win. In the

21:10

words of Adrian from Rocky. I

21:13

also think that the Denver that

21:15

the Nuggets have not been playing

21:17

at their full ability and so

21:19

I feel like coming out and being

21:21

real smothering right off the bat would

21:23

be something that could maybe keep them

21:25

going a little bit more throughout the

21:27

game than letting the Lakers get a

21:30

what was it 2015 19 20-point lead. Was it 20-point lead? That

21:34

was a big lead. That was a big lead. Can they

21:36

do it again? You can bet on it. Only

21:39

on that kicks. All right here we go. This

21:41

one's for you Charlotte. Okay. We have

21:44

Jalen Brunson over

21:47

two and a half made threes and that's

21:49

plus 124 there. Now before

21:51

you you shoot from the hip here let me

21:53

just tell you he's two for twelve from deep

21:55

in the playoffs thus far. That's only about 16.7% so Is

22:00

he struggling or is he due? Both

22:04

but I think I'm gonna go more on the

22:06

side of due because I think that Brunson has

22:08

showed You know, it's interesting because this is the

22:10

playoffs when the Knicks are good is not a

22:12

situation that that Anybody is used to so I

22:14

can see with the pressure of being at home

22:16

being like oh my god I have to do

22:18

what I've done all season but do it in

22:21

the playoffs do it when this matters more than

22:23

anything I could see being on the

22:25

road now a Little bit of

22:27

a little bit of a release of like cool

22:29

Everybody here hates us like I'm gonna go show

22:31

out and although it's probably gonna be half Knicks fans

22:33

because it's Tough

22:36

crowd Yeah,

22:41

yeah, I do think though that that I think

22:43

Jalen's gonna break his streak

22:46

of bad She's actually well, it doesn't

22:48

have to be good shooting. He's just gotta hit three three.

22:51

He could be for 13, right? Like

22:54

I'm gonna do that. I think you can do that.

22:56

Yeah, there you go Okay, the next

22:58

bet here is that Lakers and Nuggets you

23:00

can bet on whether it's gonna be four games

23:02

and that is right now to

23:05

40 five games is plus one ninety

23:08

six games is plus three

23:12

Basically are the lake gonna win zero

23:14

one or two games are the Nuggets

23:16

gonna sweep the Nuggets gonna sweep Gentlemen

23:18

sweep or actually have a series. Oof

23:22

Man sweet feels good, but it's

23:24

also there's no room for error there That's

23:27

why five games is the one with

23:29

the worst odds. God. I'm

23:32

gonna go five I think I think

23:34

the Lakers are gonna get one eventually because they

23:36

do play them close. They do play them tough

23:39

So at some point at some

23:41

point like just Sheer

23:44

dumb luck. They're gonna fall into a

23:46

win I feel like LeBron

23:48

should have gone to the Timberwolves or

23:50

the Thunder should have seen that potential and been

23:52

like, you know what? I'm gonna go and try

23:55

to Not too late. Too

23:57

late. Ronnie. Not too late. Ronnie. Do you

23:59

like? Oklahoma City, would you like to play with

24:01

your dad? Wow, and that's, I mean, that's what you,

24:04

it goes, okay, so you're Philly, you got, you

24:06

got, yeah, yeah, yeah, I

24:08

want to take my little, okay, so you

24:11

have eight million draft picks. Oh, we can

24:13

make them. We can have, you know, you

24:15

guys got Gordon Hayward, imagine like someone can

24:17

actually play like. I do think though

24:19

that I feel like they're going to sweep. I

24:22

really think. You're doing the plus 240. Yeah, I think

24:24

that, I think LeBron can only do so much in this,

24:27

in this situation. And I

24:29

just have a gut feeling. I also feel like I have a

24:31

gut feeling that I might be wrong. Yeah.

24:34

So those are canceling each other out. So

24:36

you're going five games. I'm going five games. I think Pouty

24:38

A.D. is going to get at least one. Pouty

24:41

A.D. He hit a shot. He

24:44

hit a shot. Well, maybe

24:46

you should, Anthony. Yeah. You should

24:48

hit a shot. Try hitting a shot. Period. Because

24:52

you had three points in the second half. Yeah. Yeah.

24:55

And I'm mad about that. Okay, anyway, what's the

24:57

next bet I mean? All right, we've got, oh,

24:59

you'll love this one. Heat plus

25:02

nine versus Boston and Miami on

25:04

Saturday. Again, so

25:06

for those that aren't well-versed in

25:09

gambling, this means that

25:11

the line is saying that

25:13

whatever the heat score, add

25:15

nine points to it. And

25:17

it still won't outdo with

25:20

the Celtics. Why are we, this,

25:22

okay, this to me is like the kind of

25:24

thing that the heat, that guarantees the heat win.

25:27

The kind of thing the heat say, oh, you think

25:29

that we're plus nine? You think it's that unlikely that

25:31

we're going to win? We're going to print that out.

25:33

And then we're going to find some other movie quote

25:35

that has to like rounders. When you're up, you're up. When

25:37

you're down, you never think you'll be up. Whatever the

25:39

heck. The odds are plus three 20 for them to

25:42

win straight up. Like just forget about the spread.

25:44

Just heat win plus three 20. I

25:47

hate this. Can

25:49

you take this one? No, this

25:51

is for you on purpose. Do

25:55

the reverse psychology. Someone knows the reverse

25:57

psychology move. He said, yeah, I'll take

25:59

that. the Heat of course plus nine they're

26:01

gonna cover. And then the Celtics

26:03

come out and win by 20. And then you say,

26:06

yeah. Okay, yes, the Heat are definitely

26:08

gonna cover because they're

26:10

gonna put up a real big fight and Boston's gonna have

26:12

to come out swinging. And who knows if they

26:14

can, boys? Like let's see if you have it.

26:16

Yeah, there you go. And then when they do,

26:18

Charlotte gets to say, I inspired them. They clipped

26:21

it. And you know, that's what they

26:23

played in their locker room. Heat were playing a few

26:25

good men. Joe Mazzullo. Joe Mazzullo said, had you heard

26:27

of him? He's been eyeballed. Yeah, the Heat are gonna

26:29

win. How do you feel about that, Joe? Yeah,

26:31

yeah. Whose car are we taking, Joe? Do you

26:33

have your Knick hat? Your Knick hat because you're

26:35

a big Knick fan with your Knick towel? No,

26:37

I'm not. No? No.

26:40

Okay. We're just gonna brush over that. I

26:42

miss one day of work and all

26:44

of a sudden Charlotte's walking around

26:46

with Knick paraphernalia roaming the streets

26:49

of New York. It was for a bit. It

26:51

was those Knicks fans that talked to me. You know

26:53

what? That's all the time we have, but we're gonna

26:55

end on some words of wisdom from the great Don

26:57

Draper for the Lakers and Sixers tonight. Success

27:00

comes from standing out, not fitting in.

27:02

That's funny. And if you're the Knicks,

27:05

I don't think about you at all. Yeah, there you go. That's

27:07

what I got with Michael Malone from that. I don't think about

27:09

them at all. That's his next t-shirt. Yeah. Hey,

27:12
