everyone to the sports gambling podcast. I'm

2:15

Sean. Second, the money green. What's my

2:18

partner in picks Ryan real money Kramer.

2:20

What's happening? Cram. It kind of looks

2:22

like you have one of those like

2:24

a night, the things that they would

2:26

wrap over their horse, uh, over your

2:28

head when you're, when you're eyes. So

2:30

it looks like you just have an

2:32

S GPN. Um, I don't know.

2:34

Horse cloth. What would you call those things?

2:36

I don't know. You're the horse expert, right?

2:38

I'm not a horse expert. Digital horse digital.

2:40

Yeah. You don't know anything about a long,

2:42

no erections in that game. Yes. No longer,

2:44

uh, did not take home the most accurate

2:46

mock draft or title. How are you feeling?

2:48

I feel good. I mean, I feel like

2:51

a loser. No, no. Cause I

2:53

beat you. But so that, that felt

2:55

good. What was the final score? Now

2:57

off to pull it up. Right. I mean, I

2:59

mean, I prefer the greatest in the world versus

3:02

a mere, mere mortal. And

3:04

if I didn't get cute, I beat you. No,

3:06

that's, I mean, that's the thing we're saying. Some

3:09

are saying I let my personal, this is no different

3:11

than the 50% ownership of Dan

3:13

Jones. I

3:15

beat you by one. So the

3:17

fun, uh, I would have won. I

3:20

also tied a Daniel Jeremiah. So

3:23

yeah, it's still a pretty good, a

3:25

pretty good score. I mean, again, didn't

3:28

have a, obviously Brock

3:30

powers going to the

3:32

Raiders hit on that at 66

3:35

to one. That was a sweet, sweet long shot.

3:37

Basically made it a profitable

3:39

draft in spite of all my other draft

3:41

long shots that have not come home. Although

3:43

we still have a couple of draft long

3:45

shots out there, Ryan, that are still live.

3:48

I was, I was thinking and I'm producer.

3:50

Josh is going to have to start tracking this for

3:52

us. But if we're, if we were ever going to

3:55

have an award show, it would have

3:57

to be things like a best bet one

3:59

this year. So Kyle, you strike

4:01

happened this year. We now

4:03

have the Raiders tight end. And

4:05

that's the one. So yeah, we're,

4:07

we're, we're accumulating some fun, some

4:09

fun things. I'm just mad. I

4:11

didn't have more on it, but

4:14

still at 66 to one,

4:17

made it a nice, you know, check the

4:19

old account. Very nice to see those numbers.

4:21

I do also have an announcement. I never,

4:23

I never shared this with anyone, but it

4:26

turns out that this totems

4:28

name the entire time was named

4:30

Malik. So I want

4:34

everyone to welcome Malik, Malik neighbors,

4:36

not, no, just Malik. Okay. Malik

4:38

is in the neighborhood. So coincidence.

4:40

I think not Ryan stringing that

4:42

really Jake, I'm sure is already

4:45

thinking up fun. Nate, like a

4:47

mr. Rogers, Malik neighbor, a t-shirt

4:49

idea. Got to lean into the

4:51

neighborhood idea. I'm I can't figure out what it is.

4:53

And then maybe there's a gun involved like a little

4:55

Easter egg. Oh, well, there certainly is. If you know,

4:58

I'm the league neighbor, you don't want to go to

5:00

the side of his neighborhood ride. Well, absolutely

5:03

not. He learned from that mistake and he's

5:05

actually moved forward. Love his competitiveness. Love his

5:08

drive. Watched a lot of highlights. Sean, I will

5:11

say I'm not scared to watch a look

5:13

across the Al Quinn and Mitchell. Good player.

5:15

I don't know if you've already watched the

5:17

multiple highlights of him shutting down Ricky Pearsall

5:19

and the senior bowl. Those were fun, making

5:22

him look stupid. But yeah, I would,

5:24

if you want to, if you want

5:26

to have some fun, I would check

5:28

out Malik neighbors. It's a, are you

5:31

talking about checking out when wet? Well,

5:33

certainly slippery as he, the charges for

5:35

his concealed weapon on

5:37

bourbon street, weren't able to stick for

5:39

some reason. The charges got dropped. So

5:41

congrats to you and your low

5:44

character organization, Shane, Shane did say in the presser

5:46

that he saw, they saw the tape of the

5:48

incident and they're good with it. They watched the

5:50

game. They watched the tape. They're good. I

5:53

mean, we still have to talk more

5:56

about the Atlanta Falcons making the, the

5:58

insane. decision to draft

6:01

Michael Pennick's now, maybe the decision to

6:03

draft Michael Pennick's don't give out your

6:05

grade. We will be doing a full

6:07

draft grades episode on Sunday. So just

6:10

without saying your actual grade, well, it's

6:12

tough because I do like Michael Pennick's

6:14

and I think you might fit well

6:16

in that system with those guys, but

6:20

you don't pay Kurt cousins $90

6:23

million and then draft Michael Pennick's at number

6:25

eight. What you didn't know, Michael Pennick's wasn't

6:27

going to be a vet was going to

6:29

be available at eight. Have you not looked

6:31

at a fucking mock draft? Like what in

6:33

what world did you not think Michael Pennick's

6:35

was going to be available at eight and

6:38

that you had to pay Kirk cousins? Okay.

6:40

Maybe you think Michael Pennick's isn't ready

6:42

to start right away. That's kind of weird

6:44

because one, he is super

6:46

experienced too. He's a guy you almost have

6:48

to start right away because he's older. He

6:50

has the injury history and you

6:53

bring in Kirk cousins as a mentor. Like

6:56

this doesn't, it makes no sense

6:59

at all. I mean, at

7:01

least the, the Jordan love Aaron Rogers,

7:03

Jordan love not starting. Okay, fine. That

7:05

makes sense. But man, nothing about that

7:08

made sense. And the Falcons think they're

7:10

a good team. They're not good. Jordan

7:12

love is 25 right now. Yeah. How's

7:16

Michael Pennick's right. What do you think? I

7:18

think he's 24, 25, 23, 23, but his birthday,

7:20

get this Sean in two weeks, he'll be 24 May 8th.

7:22

So he's basically

7:28

24 Malik neighbors, Sean,

7:30

for reference is 20. But

7:33

yeah, I think you nailed it. There's,

7:36

there's the roster construction piece. That's confusing.

7:39

There's the, like the, the

7:41

championship were a quarterback away piece, which

7:43

is confusing. And there's the locker room

7:46

of all these vets who are like, yeah, we're, we're,

7:48

we're one piece. So we got the quarterback. We get

7:50

a couple of defensive pieces. We'll be good. Nope. We're

7:52

gonna, we're gonna get our quarterback. We're going to get

7:55

our quarterback in the future. He's going to play his

7:57

first snap when he's 27. I,

8:00

my commentary on social media this morning

8:02

was if only Brandon Weeden was, was,

8:04

was given the opportunity. I felt

8:07

someone saying, don't, you know, the,

8:09

the Falcons are in contention for

8:11

Spencer Rattler to take over for

8:14

when Michael pedix is done. I

8:16

mean, it's, it's just insane. It was

8:19

bonkers. And you pissed off Kirk cousins

8:22

because he was blindsided. His agent even said

8:24

like, yeah, we got no heads up on

8:26

this. Very, I mean,

8:28

you paid Kirk cousins, $90 million. You're

8:31

getting a top 10

8:33

talent. Give the, give them

8:35

something to build around this Kirk cousins

8:37

led team, whether D line offensive lines,

8:39

even, even using another skill position player,

8:41

which they've done a ton of already.

8:44

Fine. Just anyone to help Kirk cousins

8:46

win in the next couple of years.

8:48

I would say I'm impressed at how many Falcons

8:51

fans there are. Didn't know there were so many.

8:53

They're all gotta be so pissed. They're uniting. I

8:55

think they should, they should learn from the Panthers

8:57

fans last year, set up

8:59

a peaceful protest outside the stadium.

9:02

Ownership will listen and they'll trade up to the

9:04

end of the third round for a receiver that

9:06

no one expected to go in the first round.

9:08

All right, right. So we'll do our full draft

9:11

grades, but we, we're going to

9:13

give out a couple of draft props here

9:15

for round two and then get to NBA

9:17

best bets with Scotty Rochelle in just

9:20

a second. So Scott, Ryan, a couple

9:22

of draft props. Now we do have

9:24

some live still as well for safety

9:26

to go off the board. We got

9:28

two plays on that still

9:31

alive. Houston Texans to

9:33

draft a tight end with their first pick

9:35

that is still alive at 50 to one.

9:37

I'm going to add on real quick noting

9:39

on the safety's can chances is

9:42

gone up. So you can get a bet. You give you,

9:44

if you still want to double down, you want to go

9:46

a little heavier on it. It's up to 20 to one.

9:48

I think we gave, we, we, we loaded up

9:50

on 16 to one. So yeah.

9:53

So certainly safety market wide open.

9:56

And again, we, the, the long

9:58

shot stuff is where get

10:00

interesting, especially in the second round. Like who knows?

10:03

I will also take you some Texans

10:05

first pick linebacker at 10 to one.

10:08

I think there's interest in this linebacker

10:10

edger and Cooper who

10:12

they brought in. He's a local kid. I

10:14

think he could fit that Texans defense. And

10:16

again, they did a lot of stuff for

10:18

the offense in the off season. Linebacker

10:21

for D'Amico Ryan's to

10:24

me is not crazy at all. Texans don't pick

10:26

for a while. A lot of things could happen,

10:29

but 10 to one, I'm going to take that

10:31

as well. So I'll have a small play on

10:33

linebacker and tight end to go first for the

10:35

Houston tech. So he is minus one

10:37

20 to be

10:40

the first linebacker. Really? Cause I got it. I'm going

10:42

to give it out at plus one 50. So

10:44

shop around. Right? Oh, interesting. No, I don't

10:46

have it. I'm bringing up more for reference on.

10:48

So I do also like edging Cooper to

10:50

be the first linebacker at plus one 50, but

10:53

I also like Texans first pick linebacker at 10

10:56

to one, maybe hit both, maybe

10:58

only hit one, but yeah, I do

11:00

see them being interested in them. Yeah.

11:03

So also worth

11:06

re-referencing the running backs Trey

11:09

Benton still sitting at, you can find two

11:11

80 out there. I know

11:14

the, the Jerry Jones almost

11:16

gave up where Jonathan Brooks is on

11:18

their draft board, got people excited. It

11:20

seems like it created a little steam

11:22

on, on Benson, who's now minus one

11:24

50 or steeper, but it

11:27

also caused Marshawn Lloyd to have some,

11:29

some crazy price variance, seeing as low

11:31

as four 20 as high as 10

11:33

to one. Yeah. I

11:36

think there's absolutely when, when I saw the price

11:38

come down, I thought it made sense. And

11:41

I still don't think we know who the first guy off

11:43

the board is. So

11:45

yeah. Running that back as

11:47

well. I got

11:50

a couple fresh ones, Spencer

11:52

Rattler to be drafted in the second round is

11:54

plus one 80. I just watched

11:56

six quarterbacks go in the top 12 picks.

11:58

Yeah. And I think plenty of

12:00

Scouts who I feel like

12:02

are sound and have a good process

12:04

feel like Spencer Rattler should be in

12:07

the top six, which tells me

12:09

he's going to come off the board soon. I

12:11

also think most people think there's

12:13

a, you know, a decent drop

12:15

from Spencer Rattler to Michael Pratt

12:18

from Tulane. And so whoever

12:20

needs that quarterback, there suddenly becomes a

12:22

bit of urgency. If you think Spencer

12:24

Rattler is your guy, number of

12:26

teams brought him in on a visit. Sean, you were

12:28

telling me the Falcons brought him in on the Falcons,

12:30

250 to one to take

12:32

Spencer Rattler. Are you with me though? Is that

12:35

not feel like a lock to you at plus

12:37

one 80 that he goes in the second round?

12:39

Yeah. I mean, I was trying to work it

12:41

out because it's like, I guess the idea that

12:43

he's the only guy in his tier both helps

12:45

him and hurts him. Yeah. It's interesting because a

12:48

lot of quarterback needy teams, even some surprise quarterback

12:50

needy teams, AKA the Falcons did take quarterbacks in

12:53

the first round. But to your point, he

12:55

probably is the consensus number seven quarterback.

12:57

You would imagine put up

12:59

this way. It doesn't make sense. What quarterback gets

13:01

drafted ahead of him in the second round. It's

13:03

not, it's that's what I'm saying. Pratt almost certainly

13:05

is not on the same level. It's almost a

13:08

bet. Will there be a quarterback drafted in the

13:10

second round? Now again, sometimes

13:12

these teams know, Hey, I can

13:14

wait. I'm going to say, just

13:17

based off visits, based off making

13:19

sense, you can bet on a

13:22

Spencer Rattler. But his, the team that will

13:24

end up drafting him, I'll fire

13:26

off the odds here real

13:28

quick. Cause I

13:30

do think, so you look at

13:32

some of the chalk stuff Raiders plus one 40

13:34

certainly interesting Rams five

13:37

to one. I dunno, a

13:39

giants five to one. The giants did bring

13:41

them in. They still need a quarterback. That's

13:44

interesting Seahawks. Same kind of thing

13:46

where G note is in their guy long-term.

13:48

I'm going to go to the Tampa Bay

13:50

Buccaneers at 25 to one. They

13:54

brought him in. I could

13:56

see him, Kyle, Trescaro over.

14:00

think they're locked in the trash very

14:02

much. That's kind of a joke, but no, but

14:04

I'm saying like I don't Baker

14:07

is what, I mean, are they really

14:09

that committed to Baker long-term? Yeah. They

14:11

gave him a deal, but I want

14:13

to your deal. Spencer Rattler,

14:15

Baker Mayfield. What a dynamic quarterback at

14:18

this time. At this point, if you

14:20

see a quarterback get signed for four

14:22

years or less, that's a

14:24

bridge contract. That's probably really a two year

14:26

contract. Right? 100%. So

14:28

those teams are still able to add a

14:30

quarterback. Everyone will use the reference

14:32

of Alex Smith, the chiefs were paying

14:35

Alex Smith on a decent contract when they saw

14:37

it, when they drafted Patrick Mahomes and let Patrick

14:39

Mahomes sit for a year and it worked just

14:41

fine. Yes. Offensive

14:44

assistant. I was

14:46

reading compared Spencer Rattler to

14:48

Baker Mayfield again. So if you like Baker

14:50

Mayfield to the point that you're paying Baker

14:52

Mayfield, I think some of that would

14:54

translate to liking Spencer Rattler. Certainly at the price of

14:57

25 to one feels like a fun long shot. Cause

15:01

I think who knows where a sense of Rattler

15:03

is going to go. Right? Like if you're drafting

15:05

a quarterback in the second round or third, yeah,

15:07

or third disagree. If you agree with the odds,

15:09

he's not going in the second. You're taking a

15:11

quarterback in the third round. You're not expecting him

15:13

to start in the next couple of years. So

15:15

I think it really opens itself to long shot

15:17

stuff. I look through the, the

15:19

teams that visited with him and

15:21

the bucks were on that list. He didn't have a ton

15:24

of visits. I think 25 to one makes a bunch of

15:26

sense. Yeah. I've

15:28

given out Edger and Cooper Texans

15:31

first pick being linebacker. We already have tight

15:33

end Ryan Spencer Rattler to the box. And

15:35

then I am co-signing your Marshawn Lloyd at

15:37

10 to one first running back drafted. Who

15:40

do we think is going to take him

15:42

now? Really the Cowboys being the Cowboys

15:45

and taking Brooks early would blow this

15:47

up. But I don't think it's that

15:49

certainly would lay juice for it. I

15:52

do think that part of what our

15:54

bet requires is the

15:57

running backs to fall. Yeah.

16:00

When did the Cowboys pick the Cowboys pick

16:02

at 56? So you kind of have to

16:04

draw a line there. That's the, that's the

16:07

point at which do we

16:09

think are running back and go ahead of

16:11

them? And if show which teams potentially, I

16:14

know the giants like both of those

16:16

players that I mentioned, I don't think they're going to

16:18

take one. I kind of don't think

16:20

it's going to be before Dallas. I

16:22

don't think it's a lock. Dallas likes Brooks.

16:25

The most they've said way too much publicly

16:27

about Brooks for me to believe it.

16:29

They've been a very buttoned up organization around the

16:31

draft of late. And they've actually been

16:33

pretty good at drafting of late. I'm slightly worried.

16:35

I don't think they're going to pull a donkey.

16:38

I'm slightly worried the chargers go running back and

16:40

take Coram way early. His

16:42

total is 83 and a half. So

16:44

Coram. Yeah. So that they, so maybe

16:46

this isn't the third round, which is

16:48

mid third round. So all

16:51

right. Any other draft props you want

16:53

to give out Ryan for day two

16:55

here? No, I think, I mean, yeah,

16:57

no, I think, I think I'm good. I mean, most

16:59

of the stuff I texted so

17:01

many people who asked me, what should I bet

17:03

on the running back and safety props where

17:06

it's an even the Houston tight

17:08

end prop. It's like, and

17:11

remind you can still bet into the second

17:13

tight end market. It's fluctuated. Sanders is now

17:15

basically the favorite at plus one 80. Yeah.

17:17

We got it at what? Three to one.

17:19

Still like that. Yeah. Yeah. I

17:21

mean, I like it in our price. Wow.

17:23

Hashtag sharp. I'm sure. All right. Switching gears

17:26

here. Going to talk NBA in just a

17:28

second. Of course, a hundred dog fantasy. Perfect

17:30

place to get over and get on some

17:33

higher, lower underdog fantasy pick them. So

17:35

fun. I mean, they really have some

17:37

amazing markets, especially for NBA. I mean,

17:40

first quarter points, obviously

17:42

assists rebounds. They have so many

17:44

markets to play fantasy, pick them

17:46

higher, lower. They got the spicy

17:48

ones. If you really tried to

17:50

put together a spicy

17:53

meatball, one of those hundred to

it comes to a great shave, you

18:18

by the shaving industry with overpriced, underperforming

18:20

products and decided to do something better.

18:23

They found their own way to make beautifully

18:25

designed razors for a fraction of the price

18:28

of the other big brands, so you never

18:30

wonder if you overpaid. Harry's shaving

18:32

products look great and the weighted handle

18:34

makes shaving feel great too. I like

18:36

to keep my beard neat and Harry's

18:38

always leaves me with a smooth yet

18:40

us on the line, you know I'm

19:22

from the NBA gambling podcast and the

19:24

tennis gambling podcast. Mr. Scott, right

19:26

shell. Scott, it looks like you got a haircut

19:28

on looking sharp. Yeah, thanks. It's

19:32

a little bit warmer outside, so I didn't need the beard anymore. Yeah.

19:35

Oh yeah. And you get

19:37

rid of the beard is a yeah. He's

19:39

all course efficiency play. Come

19:42

on. All he has is a Evie opportunity

19:44

plays getting a little hot. You gotta, you

19:46

gotta get the trim there. Scott, any, uh,

19:48

before we get into NBA playoffs, I'm sure

19:50

you were also watching the draft. Any, uh,

19:52

any big picture thoughts from a day

19:55

one of the NFL draft? I

19:57

feel like it's the same as most people. I don't know what it went.

20:00

is doing. I feel like that's kind of the main shocker

20:02

of the night. I forgot what PENEX was to be a top.

20:04

I think he was 17 to one to be a top 10

20:06

pick and he was 85 to one to

20:08

go to Atlanta or like to get to be the

20:10

eighth overall pick. I don't get it. I understand

20:13

the argument of trying to copy the Green Bay

20:15

model, but why would you pay

20:17

Kirk Cousins for four years with a no trade clause

20:19

if you're gonna draft a quarterback anyway? And

20:22

I feel like people aren't talking about this

20:24

enough. The most underrated aspect of

20:26

actual rookies is the rookie salary

20:29

and the rookie contracts. And if

20:31

you're going to sit PENEX for basically four or

20:34

five years, cause I don't see a bench in

20:36

cousins. All I'm talking gets injured. Yeah. Then he's

20:38

going to be your backup and then you're going

20:40

to pay him in free agency to start

20:43

for you. I just don't

20:45

see the vision there. I don't get it. Am

20:47

I missing something? It's so funny. It's like what

20:49

we've done is we've gotten a room full of

20:51

these Rubik's cube experts that can solve it in

20:53

nine seconds. And we have to be giving them

20:55

fake Rubik's cubes and they're staring at it and

20:57

they're like, what the, like

21:00

there's something wrong here. I can't figure it

21:02

out. There's something wrong here. Why did the

21:05

it's like the only explanation is there

21:07

idiots because like the, the, I mean,

21:10

really like the formula for this to

21:12

work out perfectly for you is what

21:14

you have two great years of Kirk

21:17

cousins. And then you know

21:19

enough to get rid of Kirk cousins, but

21:21

he's still got dead money on the cap.

21:23

But like at some point this is

21:25

going to look really bad. Now maybe they

21:28

get bailed out and maybe Michael Pennocks is

21:30

really good. I mean, have you

21:32

heard the rumors? What? That

21:34

potentially the, this

21:36

doesn't seem logical to me, but that

21:38

the tampering stuff can lead to the

21:40

deal being voided and

21:43

Kirk cousins like that would be,

21:45

or, or they found out his Achilles is

21:47

really bad. I mean, maybe

21:50

Michael Pennocks looks really good. And they're like, see,

21:53

we should have drafted him, but then you still

21:55

paid Kirk cousins $90 million. You

21:57

could have used that to build around Pennocks.

21:59

Like in no. scenario does it come

22:01

out looking great for you guys? Dave

22:04

Gettleman. Can we Photoshop Dave Gettleman's head

22:06

on Bill Belichick's body at chick fil

22:08

a and just, just makes no freaking

22:11

sense complete. Yeah. I

22:13

don't even know what to make it feel bad

22:15

for Falcons fans. They were so excited and we

22:17

were even saying there's too much hype here. We

22:19

were already selling the team and now it just,

22:22

you hear the, the response and you pissed off

22:24

his agent. It's just what a horrible way to

22:26

start the Kirk cousin zero. And if you listen

22:28

to that Twitter spaces audio, it sounds like there was

22:30

a 911 call of like someone like

22:33

a house being slaughtered. That's

22:35

great. All right. Switch gears here,

22:37

talking a little NBA. We got

22:39

a nice three game slate here.

22:41

First up, you get the bucks

22:43

catching six and a half at

22:45

the Indiana Pacers. Interesting

22:49

here bucks. I mean, paces,

22:51

the number feels a hair high, but I

22:54

don't know if I can take the bucks,

22:56

especially on the road. There's three and eight

22:58

ATS as a road dog. I mean, to

23:00

me, the most scary thing about taking the

23:02

bucks on the road, obviously it seems like

23:05

Giannis isn't going to play. Listen, it's doubtful.

23:07

Line suggests he's not going to play, but

23:09

doc rivers complaining about everything

23:11

they do on the road being wrong

23:13

and how they're not professional, even calling

23:15

out like some of the staff not

23:17

doing things right the way they should.

23:19

I think Halliburton has a bounce back

23:22

game now that they're at home. He

23:24

hasn't shot great. The first couple of nights in spicy

23:26

P average 36 and a

23:28

half points for game in the first two. I

23:31

think the numbers are hair big, but I think you

23:33

got to take a Pacers here.

23:35

Scott, how say you? Yeah,

23:38

I kind of am on the same page here. Part of

23:40

the reason why the line is so high is because of

23:42

the fact that in addition to Giannis being ruled out, he's

23:44

officially out. He's not going to win this game is

23:47

Middleton who also got injured. And now he's questionable

23:49

for the game. So I'm not sure how long

23:51

Middleton is going to play for if he's going

23:53

to play at all, but he heard his ankle

23:55

and I believe he skipped shoot around. So the

23:57

point is that could be a reason why Milwaukee

23:59

looks very old in game two.

24:01

Indiana made some adjustments, they played

24:03

a lot more up-tempo, and there

24:05

were even full-court pressing in that

24:07

fourth quarter, and Milwaukee had a hard

24:10

time with it. They had a hard time even

24:12

crossing half quarters getting into their sets late. It

24:14

felt like Indiana realized what they had to do

24:16

in order to get the job done in game

24:19

two, kind of reassert their overall identity, and they

24:21

were able to do so in the game. The

24:23

problem I have with Milwaukee is that, assuming Middleton's

24:25

banged up and with Giannis being out, I'm not

24:28

sure how many great scoring options they actually

24:30

have on this team when you go through

24:32

the depth, because Lillard's been great in the

24:35

first half of these games, completely

24:37

no-show-it-after halftime in both these games.

24:40

Middleton is banged up, and you're

24:42

going down the line here, and I'm not really sure

24:44

who else has stepped up for them in this series.

24:46

I like Bobby Portis, I think he's a good player.

24:48

I don't know how many points you can consistently expect

24:51

from Bobby Portis, probably in that 15

24:54

to like 18 range, give or

24:56

take, so you're gonna need a bit more

24:58

than that. As for Indiana, Siakam's been unguardable,

25:00

he's averaging 36.5 points per game. Halliburton

25:03

really hasn't done much shooting-wise, he had a

25:05

couple of threes at the end of game

25:07

two, but they've been winning anyway. It just

25:09

felt like Indiana was able to inject pace

25:11

into the game, they were able to play it at

25:13

their own speed, and they're also really

25:15

good at home, and that kind of resulted in

25:17

some comments by Halliburton in

25:19

the postgame, he could argue that maybe he shouldn't

25:21

be running his mouth, Siakam's carried

25:23

the entire team up to this point, but

25:26

he basically said we've had better regular

25:28

season crowds in Indiana than we had

25:30

in the first two playoff games in

25:32

Milwaukee, which is a serious shot, part

25:35

of it also might be because of

25:37

the fact that his brother was subject

25:39

to some racial sores in the actual

25:41

stance in that, but he also

25:43

went to Oshkosh, so he's from Milwaukee,

25:46

he's from the Wisconsin area,

25:48

so the point is I think that you

25:50

can make the argument maybe he shouldn't be

25:52

saying anything, Maybe he should, because

25:54

it'll get the crowd extra amped up. but yeah,

25:56

I like Indiana at home, it's gonna be a

25:59

solid atmosphere. Hockey have not been a great

26:01

on the road and. Yeah. You're looking.

26:03

I'm a walk. he does not having a law

26:05

degree scoring options in general so I'm an only

26:07

Indiana and this one bite. I. Can understand

26:09

why it might seem a little bit

26:12

high but I like what I saw

26:14

a game to of he carries over

26:16

games or yeah I mean I am

26:18

faces of the series I'm feel and

26:20

knock on wood in a decent spike

26:23

or him or whatever you have a

26:25

gimme gimme more donkey a gay bars

26:27

examining everyone's on the pacers I will

26:29

your own concern or know I'm on

26:31

the pay can cause I yeah with

26:33

this is the give up game for

26:36

the box and weird start time. nominee

26:38

fan bases would be in their seats

26:40

for a five thirty local time. Maybe

26:42

it's for thirty local? This is no

26:44

yeah they desire either either. Youth: it's

26:47

for thirty Milwaukee done for thirty Milwaukee

26:49

time. Five. Thirty local time and

26:51

nominee fan bases are in their seats

26:53

at that L A they would they

26:55

would miss the whole games. Yeah a

26:57

little heads in he added i feel

27:00

like an early oh one front of

27:02

my I go I think they they

27:04

pry cancelled classes, jobs got out early

27:06

by the of A they claim to

27:08

like that means more of their basketball

27:10

yet to scenes made a big number

27:13

Yeah knows it's jockey but pieces and

27:15

tasers a. Team. Total I think

27:17

if you're worried about Milwaukee, may be back

27:19

door and Pacers team Total I think is

27:21

pretty reasonable. As. Well next up

27:23

we got the L A Clippers. catching

27:25

four and a half in Dallas. Scott.

27:28

We saw the return of

27:30

acquired lettered climb back seem

27:32

the. Not. Be great for

27:34

them as as as he like his knees

27:37

Auto presents. I don't know I

27:39

I like again I'm going saki here

27:41

of with a lot of this fraud

27:43

is stuff I think the mavs or

27:45

better team and I think Luca why

27:47

put up points? He hasn't had a

27:49

super efficient game which I think he's

27:51

do for here at home against the

27:53

Clippers alone Clippers there today. Interesting ah

27:55

similar vibe the Chargers where they don't

27:57

have any home court advantage so maybe.

28:00

The undervalued on the road. Ah

28:02

elsa use got what he making this Clippers

28:04

mavs game. Yes, With the

28:06

series itself has been a very ugly series

28:08

in general earlier the offices of really not

28:11

done much and the games employed in the

28:13

half court lot of physicality nominee foul calls

28:15

by I think for that reason we got

28:17

the honor in this game or just based

28:20

on how it's played usually one seem to

28:22

make an adjustment, play fast or if things

28:24

don't go well Orlando for example in game

28:26

three at home is where hundreds when he

28:28

pulls points he saw the Pacers game to

28:31

play a lot faster. I don't know of

28:33

either team wants to play faster because the

28:35

Clippers dominated. Game One they probably couldn't

28:37

take steps. Could have one game to

28:39

endow. as you can argue baby, figure

28:41

something out. Point: slow in game two:

28:43

Summers are either team wants the boys

28:45

that. Luca. We know was gonna

28:47

try to thrive and a half court and the

28:49

Clippers of the same way with harden and a

28:52

lot of older guys so I would be under

28:54

in this game or the or to see another

28:56

physical grind it out. Had the game where first

28:58

team to one hundred wins if any team reaches

29:00

one hundred but nominal our the under in this

29:02

game now as the actual side. It's.

29:04

Really tricky because you expect our way better

29:06

at home by. I really have not seen

29:08

much to separate these two teams so far

29:10

in the series and luke and of a

29:13

monster game which is always a possibility you

29:15

mentioned it is not been that efficient so

29:17

far in the series carries been okay. To.

29:19

I like the supporting cast no no Italy

29:21

or Tim Hardaway Jr. getting for to that's

29:23

one less guy or potentially a worry about.

29:26

I'm not a Hardaway Jr guy anyway, but

29:28

always easy threat to sue from the outside.

29:31

And. Is officially ruled out for this game. Ah,

29:33

I'd seen for this one. I just like the

29:35

total to be honest, kind of a cop out.

29:37

Maybe if you want to go for the team

29:39

that you do expect to win win by one

29:41

to ten. most game or once

29:44

you gonna grind that advised when a when

29:46

i don't see wanting blown the other one

29:48

out though i see a close match up

29:50

but i think you're looking at a spot

29:52

where if i had to win anywhere it

29:54

when dallas i'd rather take the yonder is

29:56

games have been very ugly sorry physical not

29:59

very efficient and team supporting cast wise, it's

30:01

really not been great in the series. So I'll go

30:03

with the under at about two 12 and a half.

30:06

It's like when you asked the Somalia for

30:08

a wine, they don't have it, but it

30:10

comes back equipped to give you four other

30:12

options. And we can do great, great variances.

30:14

I just fired on the menu. I

30:17

just bought, I just fired on the

30:19

under it's a compelling case. You're trying

30:21

to do a totals guy now run.

30:23

Yeah. Well, I'm just getting, getting my

30:25

backing of Dallas also out of the

30:28

way. That's true. Yeah. You don't

30:30

want to Dallas sucks, but I'll stick with

30:32

just the Mavs laying the points. I

30:34

see the case for an ugly game. I

30:36

don't know why the Clippers got away from

30:39

Zubach. He was like a nightmare for the

30:41

Mavs in game one. I don't know why they, I

30:44

don't know why he got less minutes, but yeah, I'll

30:46

take a Jason kid. I think

30:48

isn't as good of a coach as Tyler,

30:50

but I still think with Kawhi, they're going

30:52

to force themselves to play Kawhi because it's

30:54

Kawhi Leonard, but I don't think he's a

30:56

hundred percent. I almost in a weird

30:59

way think they are better without him on the court. At

31:01

least this version of it's almost like they just brought

31:03

him back cold. Like he hadn't practiced in my, I

31:06

mean, the Kawhi, the Clippers, it's just

31:08

such a nightmare. The entire organization didn't

31:11

they just announced he hadn't practiced in

31:13

like a very long time. And then

31:15

he comes back in like a physical

31:17

playoff game. I maybe, maybe

31:19

he gets, maybe his knee gets right.

31:21

But again, it's a knee. It's just,

31:23

it's fluid. Do you know, he's gotta,

31:25

he's gotta sit out for another couple

31:27

of weeks. Minnesota Timberwolves head down to

31:29

Phoenix here, catching five points in Phoenix. Of

31:31

course they're off to a two Oh start.

31:33

You have a desperate son's team at home.

31:36

But then you got a young T wolves

31:38

team, maybe feeling a little fat and happy

31:41

sons were in that game. The second

31:43

one, at least they were up like middle,

31:45

late third quarter kind of blew the

31:47

game. Durant Booker. Haven't done much offensively. I

31:50

mean, you know, Booker led the team in

31:52

points in game two with only 20.

31:54

Is this a

31:56

bounce back game for the sons here, Scott,

31:58

or are they cooked? Yeah,

32:01

I kind of hate this damn team. I know I

32:03

gave them out initially to win the series, but it

32:05

was mostly because I didn't trust either team. Phoenix had

32:07

been a well-won all year in general, and I just

32:09

thought that they were a bad matchup for Minnesota to

32:12

deal with. So it's kind of a matchup

32:14

handicap, which has aged horribly, but we'll see

32:16

what happens. Technically, Sun's in sixth all-life. So

32:19

say yes. It might not last that much

32:21

longer. I think I'm going to go with

32:23

Sun's first half in this game. They're one of the worst

32:25

fourth-quarter teams in the entire league, so I really don't want

32:27

to back them for an entire 48 minutes. They

32:29

have been really bad closing games, which

32:32

is insane to think about with Booker and

32:34

with Beal and with Durant on the same

32:36

roster that they can't close games. I'll

32:39

give you the first half. It's kind of a

32:41

well-known trend. Teams down 2-0 returning home tend to

32:43

do very well in the first half. Yes,

32:45

the odds makers have kind of accounted for it

32:47

recently, but it went 2-1 yesterday. But

32:50

I do think Phoenix has to show some urgency

32:52

if they're going to even have a shot at

32:54

this. I don't see Phoenix coming from

32:56

behind. I think you're looking at a team that's

32:58

been known to kind of quit when things

33:00

don't go well. We saw them get blown out of

33:02

their home floor in back-to-back playoffs. Not

33:04

a good look for them, but I think

33:06

for the first 24 minutes, they'll

33:09

come out, they'll be firing, and I think they'll look

33:11

sharper. Role players might play better at

33:13

home. You hear that saying all the

33:15

time. Give me the Sun's first half, though, around minus

33:17

2-1.5. I just think if they're

33:20

going to make this game interesting, they're going

33:22

to have to come out first 24, pedal

33:24

to the metal, and then after that, if

33:26

they choke, not my problem. I'd rather worry

33:28

about them in the first 24 minutes. Once

33:30

again, love the angle here. I like it

33:32

too. I'm just dawned on me. Yeah. Is

33:34

Kevin Durant? Well, he's surrounded

33:36

with by losers. He's just a loser,

33:38

right? He's only one with winners. Yeah.

33:40

I mean, he's lost everywhere else. He

33:43

does. He doesn't have the best energy or

33:45

body language. I would say as a guy

33:47

who's won a decent amount of games, but

33:49

yeah, T this team

33:51

is trash. I will say is

33:54

Zooming in right to the playoffs and feeling like

33:56

optimistic about the Suns based on a couple games

33:58

at the end of the. The season

34:00

they are shit. Yeah, there are

34:02

no harm. No. Dog on

34:04

that court. The Kevin Durant is a

34:07

pussy Had devil a small dog energy

34:09

rehire what you will of Allah Braun

34:11

are all take the sun's lane. The

34:13

points and about sex my period as

34:15

it's weird ice I have the same

34:17

religious got when the. When. The

34:19

playoffs or com and I'm like you know what

34:21

I've been saying the entire time over to

34:23

say the pledge the Sons of the Playoffs they

34:25

all have a plan minded team for saw

34:27

and then they they match up against the T

34:29

will attack was coming back they that can

34:31

offset them be just the renewal ring or season

34:34

yes they are Temple see the their own them

34:36

in the regular season stats coming back to just

34:38

need a steel one of those first two when

34:40

they had they had a chance to still

34:42

game to they didn't. I. Don't

34:45

know. Mining and it's a desperate

34:47

situation. Desperate times call for desperate

34:49

measures. I think the sun's. Also

34:52

or yeah, Yeah,

34:54

I was going to have turned and

34:56

we can move on the ah. Next

34:58

up we have the Cleveland Cavaliers at

35:00

the Orlando Magic. This one again with

35:02

a i like the Magic for the

35:05

series at the plus price. Obviously.

35:07

Not after grade sort they're often looks

35:10

horrible on the road, but then massive

35:12

bounce back games in game three. Yeah.

35:15

Maybe the Cavs realize hey, we just

35:17

need to get one down here in

35:19

Orlando. or maybe Orlando. Ill at home.

35:22

They been great at home as a

35:24

home favorite. Ah, Scott What do we

35:26

do in here? Ya. Monolines

35:28

Orlando in this one as well

35:30

award both number that you have

35:32

to. Two. Point Arrow thing and I'll

35:35

take Orlando and that one seemed somewhat better. Home

35:37

in on the road. Going. Into the

35:39

series I believe I had or window and

35:41

seven. Which. is kind of our take that

35:43

involve them winning a road game seven by the

35:45

board as i expected a very long series yeah

35:48

and i was not auto me to hit the

35:50

panic button if cleveland and a beating need experience

35:52

playoff team in the first two games at home

35:54

or linda kind of figured out now you can

35:56

argue that it wasn't a coincidence that they brought

35:59

on scott foster the series extender and Orlando

36:01

won by about 40 points. But I

36:03

do think that Orlando definitely kind of

36:05

fed off of the crowd's energy and

36:07

Cleveland completely no showed the game. I'm

36:10

still really annoyed that I lost the

36:12

under in that game to a

36:14

one and a half eight, eight points in

36:16

the final 48 seconds of meaningless three pointer

36:18

and without 19 seconds left to lose. That's

36:20

what happens when you bring out the scrubs

36:23

and they're all trying to get playoff points.

36:25

Nobody really starts guarding anybody for the last

36:27

couple of minutes. But I lost that under.

36:29

I still like the under. I'm not going

36:31

to suddenly overreact because Orlando scored 121 points.

36:34

Cleveland scored what the score

36:36

83. Yeah. And that game I'm

36:38

not going to overreact. There was an unfortunate

36:40

loss there for the under, but I'm

36:42

still two and one with it. I run it back.

36:45

The under is getting my favorite play into this matchup,

36:47

but I do like Orlando. I think it's going to be

36:49

a long series. I had seven going in. So give me

36:52

your Landau and give me the under. Yeah,

36:54

I'll go Orlando. And also worth noting this is

36:56

the early start time or at

36:58

least relatively early one o'clock East 10

37:00

a.m. Yeah. It's Cavalier. It's

37:03

Cavalier. Yeah. They got it. They got

37:05

to put it on the NBA now, which I, I

37:07

yeah, they, they're, they're dumping it on here because

37:09

they don't think it's going to be, there's no offensive

37:12

excitement, but the matchup's pretty interesting. I don't know. We'll

37:14

see. I do like Orlando to even it

37:16

up here too, too. Oh, I mean, is

37:18

Orlando a crowd that's going to get there at the

37:20

weird time at one o'clock or what do we got?

37:23

They got a, they got a

37:25

tasting over at the Epcot center. I don't know.

37:27

I'm going to, I'm not going to, so I

37:29

do have family that lives in the area and

37:31

they take in basketball games from time

37:33

to time. And it does seem like

37:35

the fan base has ballooned in

37:38

the recent months. So I'm wondering how

37:40

many of them are going to be getting to that,

37:43

that tip right there. Middle of the day. Give

37:45

me the calves calves.

37:48

All right, right. I'm not going to overreact.

37:50

I heard Scott say that three times. I'm

37:52

not going to overreact. This magic team's worst

37:54

pick I had on the NBA show. Wish

37:56

I should have listened to someone. Oh, come

37:58

on. There's still plenty of time for. Orlando

38:00

to pull this out. This is the

38:02

classic. They, they dumped the Gatorade after

38:05

game three, dominant performance over reaction time.

40:00

game, good games here on Saturday,

40:02

starting with the Oklahoma city thunder

40:04

at the new Orleans pelicans. This

40:07

is interesting. I was all over the thunder

40:09

game too. Felt like, Hey, they survived the

40:11

pelicans best shot. They are the better team.

40:13

They were at home. They're going to cruise.

40:16

But now this is

40:18

again, noon tip here, West coast

40:20

time afternoon game pelicans

40:23

are, I think you're going to get the

40:25

best shot of the series from the pelicans

40:27

here. The question

40:29

is, is the pelicans best

40:31

shot good enough to win

40:33

this game? Brandon Ingram hasn't looked

40:36

great here. First couple of games, but the

40:38

thunder and experience don't have

40:40

a lot of playoff experience. I could see

40:42

them maybe feel themselves a little bit here.

40:45

I'm kind of intrigued by the pelicans, but Scott, what

40:47

are you doing? Yeah, I think

40:49

I'm going to lean to okay. See in this one, if

40:51

you want New Orleans, maybe the first half, but the problem

40:53

I run into with this new Orleans team is kind of

40:55

two fold one. I don't like their star

40:57

players. Yeah. Design being injured. I've never

40:59

been a McCollum guy. I've never been an Ingram

41:01

guy and Ingram's been abysmal in the series. Dorts

41:03

had him in the torture chamber and he's really

41:05

not been very good. But you're looking at the,

41:08

the other issue I have with this team, but

41:10

in the pelicans are a dumb basketball team. I

41:12

just think that they make a lot

41:14

of self-inflicted mistakes and they

41:17

turn the ball over a bunch. The overall sets

41:19

aren't that great defensively. They were terrible

41:21

in game two. They couldn't stop anybody. They switched

41:23

to a zone midway through that game, which works

41:25

for a little while. And then of course, Oklahoma

41:27

city and NBA team figured it out and they

41:29

were able to blow the game open again. I don't

41:32

know what the pelicans actually do well at. They're

41:34

a good rebounding team for this matchup, but balance

41:36

shooters can't guard anybody on the perimeter. And

41:38

Larry Nance Jr. Is not a great offensive

41:41

player by any means. So they're big men

41:43

are flawed. So that's the one

41:45

area they can dominate in. They won game one

41:47

because it was very ugly and Oklahoma city shot

41:49

the ball terribly, but Oklahoma city is a pretty

41:52

solid outside shooting team. They have the best player

41:54

on the floor by a mile. They have probably

41:56

the second best player on the floor too, because

41:58

Chet's been incredible. Yeah. as well. I don't

42:01

know what the really is to like about New Orleans. You're

42:03

looking at a weird start time. So I'm not sure if

42:05

the crowd is going to be fully into it or not.

42:08

The draft was, you know, yesterday first round, are they

42:10

back to the saints fandom? Are they, is there a

42:12

basketball town still? I don't know. But

42:14

the point is, I think you're looking at a spot where the

42:17

Thunder are the better team. Obviously it's a one

42:19

verse and eight. If Zion was playing, I would

42:21

definitely think New Orleans had a better chance at

42:23

winning a couple of games in the series, but

42:26

watching the pelicans play, I just don't like what

42:28

I see from this team. It doesn't seem like

42:30

they are able to play a full 48 minutes.

42:32

They make a lot

42:34

of dumb mistakes, both offensively and defensively.

42:36

If the game's close, give me Shay

42:39

over Ingram and McCollum. So I'll go

42:41

with Oklahoma city. Very soft, very, very

42:45

soft. And I've said this repeatedly. I

42:47

I'm shocked at how much a Chet

42:49

Holmgren has turned into like a fucking

42:52

useful NBA player. What'd you

42:54

call him? Sean Bradley? No,

42:57

no, I didn't. But he's a credit for that.

42:59

That's a good lie. I thought he was going

43:01

to be John Bradley 2.0, but man,

43:03

he's got some fire in him. Yeah.

43:06

This is, I yeah. Scott nailed

43:08

my handicap, which is the, this

43:11

early start time. Not, this is not

43:13

Indiana. We're talking about, I'll say, I

43:15

hear what you guys are saying. I

43:17

think the early start time does help

43:19

the pelicans. Now imagine this, you're

43:21

the Thunder. You have some young stars. Oh,

43:24

Hey, it's a Friday night. We can

43:26

go out on bourbon street. No, have

43:28

a couple of those hurricanes. Next thing

43:30

you know, insane hangover. He's locked in

43:32

chat. I think the pelicans saw that

43:34

commercial. I think they pull a one

43:36

game out of their ass and it's

43:38

this game. So I actually am taking

43:40

the pelican. I also heard Scott say

43:42

something useful. Anyone who plays rec

43:45

basketball in an organized setting knows the second

43:47

you have to switch to the zone, you're

43:49

fucked. So usually not a

43:51

great side. Yeah. Last game of

43:53

the Saturday slate, the Celtics

43:55

lay nine against the Miami

43:58

heat. This was an interesting.

44:00

conversation in our Slack because

44:03

when the heat came out 18 to one for the

44:05

series, I immediately fired on it just cause I hate

44:07

the Celtics that I thought it was fun. And then

44:10

Scott came in, he's like, yeah, you shouldn't bet

44:12

it because if they lose game one, it's going

44:14

to be a crazy price and you're better off

44:17

holding off. And I

44:19

didn't listen to that. I bet it 18 to

44:21

one, but then when the price came

44:23

out and it was 60 to one, I bet it again

44:25

a little bit just cause I

44:27

thought it hits the Miami heat against the

44:29

Celtics, they seem to just ugly these series

44:31

up and they seem to hang around. They

44:33

got the outright win game too. Now there's

44:35

a couple of different ways you can see

44:38

this right? Like Miami is not good at

44:40

home. ATS, they just haven't been good at

44:42

home in the regular season, but clearly they

44:44

have another gear that they switched to in

44:46

the playoffs. I'm taking the

44:48

heat and the nine points. I

44:51

understand why, you know, the shooting regression,

44:53

both a Miami heat setting a franchise

44:55

record or NBA record for play. I think

44:58

it was franchise 23

45:00

made threes for the, for the heats not

45:02

going to continue, but I still think they

45:04

can make this game close enough. And I

45:06

think there's going to be incredible pressure on

45:08

the Celtics. I don't mind Celtics first quarter

45:10

first half. Cause that's when

45:12

they've been good, but I think late they,

45:15

the Celtics might tighten up, you know, Chris

45:17

out porzingis is probably not used to playing

45:19

in the Boston media whirlwind. That's probably

45:22

just been crushing him these past

45:24

couple of days. And

45:26

again, yeah, why, why hasn't

45:28

Tatum won an NBA ring?

45:31

There's just, there's

45:33

a little small dog in them. We haven't seen

45:35

him flip the gear. Now, maybe they just shoot

45:37

lights out and it doesn't matter. That certainly is

45:40

something that the Celtics have done a bunch of

45:42

season and one, but I don't

45:44

know, man, I'm definitely taking heat and nine

45:46

points. Scott, I'll see you. Well,

45:49

I'm going to start off with the three point

45:51

shooting in game two, because you could argue regression

45:53

is due. And I know Missoula claimed that a

45:56

lot of the defense was, you know, solid in

45:58

general. No, it wasn't. I don't know. game

46:00

you were watching mine was wide open on like 80%

46:02

of those threes defense was horrible the entire game So

46:04

I get Missoula Maybe didn't want to throw his guys

46:06

under the bus because you could be you could be

46:08

somewhat honest and Criticize your three-point

46:11

defense. I don't know what protecting

46:13

and maybe because you mentioned that you think Boston

46:15

soft, too Maybe doesn't want to hurt

46:17

their feelings. He wants to keep them engaged. I

46:19

mean, this is the modern NBA Just won't vote.

46:21

It was an awful quote. You know, I thought

46:24

a lot of the looks were moderately to heavily

46:26

contested Are we watching the same game? I'm not

46:28

my others wide open on all these three-pointers. So

46:30

yeah Maybe involved

46:32

some shooting luck, but I think

46:34

the quality of shots were just

46:36

there Truth is the

46:38

series is really tough to predict because every single

46:40

time you look at the actual Roster's

46:43

and you look at all the breakdowns. It's always

46:45

gonna favor Boston Yeah, except Miami

46:47

has some like devil chaos magic and they

46:49

find ways to win games I don't really

46:52

know how to fully analyze this Boston team

46:54

because they should Win all

46:56

these games the fact that they lost a home

46:58

game is embarrassing my double digits to a Tyler

47:00

hero Lead heat team, but

47:02

we saw this last year. Yeah Was

47:05

a bad coach the Celtics are soft. I don't know what

47:07

you want for me in this series but

47:10

it's really tough for me to get

47:12

down on anything money related for these games

47:14

because I Don't know what

47:16

to expect that Boston chooses to show up and they

47:18

look sharp You get the same outcome as game one

47:21

if they don't and they once again overlook their

47:23

opponent or just get outcoach dramatically They're gonna lose

47:25

anybody and we saw that when they lost back

47:27

to my games to the Hawks and they blew

47:30

a 30 plus point Lead in the middle of

47:32

the regular season. So I guess I'm gonna link

47:34

to Miami just because they're getting nine

47:37

Nine and a half it feels a bit disrespectful in

47:39

Boston wins by a lot Would I be shocked? No,

47:41

but I think Boston is a team that I don't

47:43

trust if I don't really trust either team

47:46

I'd rather get the points so into Miami to keep

47:48

it close I might link to the

47:50

under though if you are expecting regression or just

47:52

better defense from Boston into this matchup And I

47:54

think that does result in a lower scoring game.

47:56

So I'll go with the under but I am

47:58

an only to Miami I may, I

48:00

guess has been a fun for the

48:03

heat, especially with Butler out. He's been getting more

48:05

minutes. Very fun rookie.

48:07

I really love his game and it's just

48:09

fun to see the Celtics lose. So

48:12

last year when the heat came out

48:14

and stepped on their throat

48:17

in Boston, winning both games, they

48:19

came home and did Boston

48:21

bounce back in that game? No, they

48:23

lost because they're they're, they're, their buttholes

48:25

are tight. We're back to

48:28

talking about buttholes on the show. Now, now

48:30

they, it was, they corrected me

48:32

if I'm wrong. They went up three. Oh, and

48:34

then, and then then Boston won

48:36

three in a row. And then they already

48:38

should have won in six because Derek white

48:41

had that put back in game. So yeah,

48:43

they were up three and I'm like, yeah,

48:45

but yeah, I think just in general, you,

48:47

you can't overlook softness in the coaching staff

48:49

and the team. And clearly

48:52

this rattles the fan base. That's what,

48:54

where you really get fucked because Miami

48:56

fans will sense this and guess what?

48:59

They'll be there on time. They

49:01

feel like they have hope now. They're like,

49:03

it's happening. They're not getting well. And they

49:05

probably won't leave early because there's been so

49:07

many comebacks and won't be like the NBA

49:10

finals where they're trying to, that's at all

49:12

time. You're it's, you can't take your town

49:14

seriously sports moment when they're trying to come

49:16

back to the finals game. Let us back

49:18

in. You can't get locked out. Let us

49:21

back in. I

49:23

like the under two. That's fun. Yeah. So under

49:25

and the heat plus the points, this is certainly,

49:27

yeah, I was going to say maybe something you

49:29

want to bet live if they get down, but

49:31

I don't even know it might

49:33

not be that this

49:35

could be a bloodbath. Well, it might not be

49:37

that advantageous because the fact that

49:40

they're nine point dogs, you're probably not going

49:42

to get a great price until they get

49:44

down like serious money. And then

49:46

maybe, maybe the game's out of hand, but I mean, I

49:49

just don't know where

49:51

this Boston playoff competence is

49:53

coming from. I'm super skeptical of

49:55

them. Still it is. What was the

49:57

number though? They're like 13 and 13 and best

50:00

26 home playoff games or like something absurd.

50:03

Yeah. I, I, I think that's like

50:05

the, the another one I saw was

50:07

something around the idea of like they

50:09

were 55% straight up as

50:12

a home favorite in the NBA playoffs where like

50:15

most other teams are 76% or more, you know,

50:18

it's, it's crazy. So when they were probably

50:20

implied odds of greater than 76% or

50:23

more in a lot of, Oh yeah. I can't even blend

50:25

it on my Zula though. Cause I went back to Doka

50:27

too. Yeah. It wasn't even like a coaching thing. That's definitely

50:29

a roster thing. Seems like there could be some rot in

50:31

the building. Yeah. You know what it

50:34

is. It's this entitled new England sports fan.

50:36

And it's like, it's, they just, they just

50:38

did it. They, they just think that they're

50:40

going to win and not fucking wheel. We're

50:44

back to before the pink Boston red

50:46

Sox hands hats. You love the Patriots.

50:48

Well, you got to support Drake may

50:50

now. We'll see. What's your, what's your

50:52

take on the, the quarterback

50:54

situation. Who do you think you

50:57

think Drake may is going to work in new England, Scott? I

51:00

don't know if he's writing his first year. The

51:02

truth is a lot of quarterback struggles or even

51:04

successes in the NFL depend on the actual environment

51:06

you're in and how well the

51:08

team is set up around you. New England's

51:11

got nothing offensively. There is a

51:13

terrible offense in general. So people have

51:15

also kind of been critical of craft

51:17

recently for being cheap. And when

51:19

he does spend money, he invests in a bunch of tight ends

51:21

and it over pays for like

51:23

the bond, a Parker and company. Like

51:25

I don't know. Free agents spend spending

51:28

spree was like comical. Maybe it wasn't

51:30

Bellicheck. Yeah. It's like Nelson Aguilar. Like

51:32

they, they spend a ton

51:34

of money in free agency. It's like,

51:36

I don't really know what they do

51:38

to help young quarterbacks succeed. Yeah. I'm

51:41

not that high on Drake may. Maybe I'm

51:43

also biased because the only North Carolina quarterback out of

51:45

recent memory was for Biscay and he turned out to

51:47

be an all time bust. But I think you're looking

51:49

at a spot where I think Mays talented, I think

51:51

he's going to get his ass kicked in New England.

51:54

It's not the same exact thing as Bryce young who

51:56

had no chance in Carolina anyway.

51:59

But if New England's not. going to surround him with anybody

52:01

and they're probably going to play in his first

52:03

year unless you use who preset for

52:05

the first year and you let me sit that

52:08

means we're probably sitting for what a month and a

52:10

half before the fan base riots and you get made

52:12

in there. Yeah, it's probably not going to go well.

52:14

Well, they need some reason. I think it's going to

52:17

be a problem because the rest of the division is

52:19

good. You might be low on the jets, but that

52:21

defense is still good. Miami and I know Buffalo is

52:23

going to take a step back, but New England's clearly

52:26

the worst team that division by a wide margin. They

52:28

might win four games. They're going to be

52:30

really, really bad. I think may is going to get killed if

52:32

he plays the first season. He, and

52:34

the, the best part is the Patriots fan base

52:36

having to listen to a guy that sounds just

52:38

like Eli Manning. He sounds just

52:41

like Eli Manning. It's great. They, yeah, I,

52:43

I unclear, I'm unclear

52:45

what's going to happen with this

52:47

Patriots guy. Cause who's developing this

52:49

quarterback that needs development? I don't

52:51

know. Skeptical last game

52:53

of Saturday night. We got the Denver

52:56

nuggets lay in three in LA nuggets.

52:58

Just own the Lakers. It's just that simple.

53:01

I don't know why it was a pick

53:03

game three. And these games are very, yeah, it's

53:09

like a roulette wheel. Yeah, guys. No,

53:11

actually they, they, it isn't a 50

53:13

50 proposition. This

53:16

team just has this team figured out and it's

53:18

comical because the

53:20

Lakers keep winning the first half. And then

53:22

the nuggets are like, Oh yeah. Well, we'll

53:24

just be in the second half. Like the

53:27

nuggets didn't even shoot that well from three.

53:29

Like they just are a better team. They,

53:32

they are outmatched and LeBron,

53:34

I think might get swept again. I heard Scott

53:37

van Pelt were like, it's like Yukon. You, you,

53:39

you know, you feel like you're in the game.

53:42

Next thing you know, you're down eight

53:44

points and you have no idea what

53:46

happened. Also, did you see the press

53:48

conference? The video clip made some rounds,

53:50

but LeBron basically just saying

53:52

it's just basketball. Well,

53:55

when he was calling out the replay center,

53:57

I go, okay, God, I'm a game three.

54:00

This is not, this is not winter

54:02

mentality when you're, why do we even

54:04

have a replay center? And I think

54:06

Scott was the one that tweeted out

54:09

the free throw differential and the Lakers

54:11

have a comical advantage of that. So

54:14

Scott, I don't know. I mean, taking the

54:17

Lakers and the points feels way too cute here. What

54:19

are you doing? Yeah. I think

54:21

the free throw differential by the way was

54:23

for the last two seasons, including the playoffs,

54:25

the Lakers free throw differentials plus 1100, which

54:27

is like three times more than

54:30

any other team. So that was kind

54:33

of why I tweeted it out. I just thought

54:35

the free throw differential was mentioning. Yeah. There's a

54:37

team that should not be complaining about calls. It's

54:39

probably the Lakers. Just going to throw it out

54:41

there. For the sake of this matchup, the

54:43

question is, you think the Lakers actually show up for a

54:46

half again or they roll over? Because I feel like the

54:48

cute play is the Lakers first half again. For

54:50

game three, I had Lakers first half nuggets full

54:52

game on the premise of I've seen this movie

54:54

before and it was plus four 20. So that

54:56

worked out pretty well. For the sake of the

54:59

matchup, we

55:02

saw the same thing happened last year. It was

55:04

three nothing. And then we'll brawn went nuts in

55:06

the first half and they lost the game anyway in the exact

55:08

same script. They were up at halftime and they fell apart. I

55:11

think I just got a lean Denver in

55:13

this one. There was a lot of quit

55:16

in the final three minutes of that gaming game. And

55:18

DLO is sitting on the, on the sidelines and nowhere

55:20

near the huddle and he had zero points. Why the

55:22

hell are you of all people not sitting with the

55:24

team? Like, I don't know. Like it's what you're on.

55:27

One of the reasons why they lost. I don't know

55:29

why you're pouting on the side. You sucked yesterday. You

55:31

had zero points. You pulled the clay Thompson. Like I

55:33

don't know what you want me to tell you, but

55:35

I just seems like the

55:37

Lakers are at each other's throats right now. There's

55:39

a lot of arguing. There's a lot of just

55:42

overall lack of decisiveness from Darwin ham who's

55:45

guaranteed to get fired once they lose the

55:47

guys. And I know he's a bad coach.

55:49

The roster construction is not good either. You're,

55:52

you're giving dim woody minutes. Gabe,

55:54

Vincent's getting minutes. Go down

55:56

the line. You're relying on Torian Prince. You're

55:58

relying on Reeves. Parables entire

56:00

series. Yeah, like all the little

56:02

one game. They. Also raises and

56:05

so it up. Or yeah, what did

56:07

you expect them to show up like

56:09

what your boy's gonna last year and

56:11

the boils gathered for his a has

56:13

been a great by you're looking at

56:15

the liquor. Supporting cast Ruiz been terrible

56:17

who's been Go yeah in this entire

56:19

supporting cast and the nuggets have been

56:21

doubling down on the minutes for Murray

56:23

and for Joker and or exactly got

56:25

injured in game three. You're going to

56:27

play much anyway, but you're just going

56:29

down the line and the Lakers have

56:31

to rely on thirty nine year old

56:33

Little Braun and. Older Anthony Davis we

56:35

know can be a little bit fragile and

56:37

soft view on use that term again kind

56:40

of the both work for that. So physicists

56:42

able to play forty two pools minutes for

56:44

games as have Assad. Even be

56:46

close in these games and ever was

56:48

be mad at Anthony Davis and Will

56:50

Braun for know showing fourth quarters feals

56:52

are exhausted year if the boy every

56:54

minute of the games even hang be

56:56

competitive and then we'll just wait surround

56:58

the hang in there he became competitive.

57:00

In than once the Lakers start getting

57:02

tired of wants this are making mental

57:04

mistakes that I could jump on. The.

57:07

Same story for two years you changing.

57:09

Maybe the Lakers sold for a half

57:11

again. But. I the seem does

57:14

not play a full forty minutes and

57:16

Denver is going to get better sauce

57:18

the new down the stretch in crunch

57:21

time they're just going to. So if

57:23

I only the supporting cast for the

57:25

Lakers and I question the overall fitness

57:27

of their two best players to play

57:30

forty two forty five minutes of effective

57:32

basketball. I'm not going to pick

57:34

you to win games gimme Denver sweeping

57:36

of they won one of and threat

57:38

by their my sweet but ah that's

57:41

going to feel nice as the earlier

57:43

fifteen point dog and a Sunday soon

57:45

mans played in the playoffs. Josh Hard

57:47

won thirty three maxi one twenty nine

57:49

at. Davis. One Twenty Six

57:51

Bronson. One Twenty Five. Le Bron.

57:53

One Twenty One, The Ads and

57:56

Joker. One twenty. I

57:58

mean it. I will say it must. People

58:00

off the joker look in completely not

58:02

in shape is able to display of

58:04

it's not easy to play this many

58:06

minutes and about going ahead is a

58:08

bit any. The big guy who always

58:10

stays healthy and again like his his

58:12

shots in like what he does is

58:14

it just looks unconventional like the folks

58:16

Yeah unorthodox is a great word for

58:18

kids. So many times ago he puts

58:20

have a shot you like or that's

58:23

icon in and and you're like oh

58:25

wait it's gonna go and scenarios the

58:27

why and how a wig oh yeah

58:29

yeah come back. To effort like Aaron

58:31

Gordon getting fifteen rebounds. So.

58:33

That is on the Lakers not boxing

58:35

out Aaron Gordon I had so what

58:37

Easy buckets under the basket suited beta.

58:40

It's just watching a little that game.

58:42

They took so long to adjust to

58:44

these these basic as cuts. And

58:46

yet, Jokers is too good. For. You watch

58:48

the nuggets and I I know my take

58:50

away again As a Tmz fan feels like

58:53

the Denver Nuggets are more more of a

58:55

lot to me to win the west. Then.

58:58

The Boston Celtics were come into these which

59:00

was the inverted view of most people Michael

59:02

Porter get and ten rebounds some of that

59:04

is on the lake or great squad though

59:06

in full team effort with that's where we

59:08

like done now they're just rely on same

59:10

I mean the the argument is maybe they're

59:13

slightly sin but as lines Murray's health have

59:15

a want to rest for think of as

59:17

yogurt the his puppet of his team about

59:19

and a guys will you want to not

59:21

play for a little bit my let's let's

59:23

get a week off. Certainly. I

59:25

might be able to fly back. I

59:27

it's a salary of owls and as

59:30

as a last game that we got

59:32

odd forty jokers in the digital horses.

59:34

Ah yes Mister Reagan sell on E

59:36

le A Love horses I knew at

59:39

and Minions horses at Minion Love him

59:41

Look like Zero is pretty fun. It's.

59:43

Ah, The nuggets are com is just like.

59:46

Trolling, The Lakers of. Them

59:48

had gone down in our staff. Of all

59:50

these games it feels like they're giving like

59:52

sixty percent effort and overall care. I would

59:54

just be to see we know they're not

59:56

a good word is going to take care

59:58

of business by quotes from alone. All these

1:00:00

other quotes is just like oh no, We know we're going

1:00:02

to win. The question is like how

1:00:04

do we want to win this time Me

1:00:06

and it's a psychological thing. the Lakers every

1:00:09

game have gone up. And. When

1:00:11

a run starts to happen. Maybe.

1:00:13

Late Second quarter, Early third quarter. it has

1:00:15

a snowball mentally for the Lakers because I'm

1:00:18

in, the Nuggets are just a bogeyman that

1:00:20

can be to. Simply. Boys been

1:00:22

eleven straight. I just think if you're gonna

1:00:24

be the Lakers gotta be early because you

1:00:27

don't trust the steam to maintain mental focus

1:00:29

and to make proper adjustments. I saw the

1:00:31

fourth quarter of a yesterday had the Vincent

1:00:33

and him what he on the courts gather

1:00:36

for thrown the vertigo announced reynosa distorting the

1:00:38

quarter with him what he had been cel

1:00:40

Nick or together there's not much like about

1:00:42

the Lakers and I wonder if abroad will

1:00:45

have his bags packed for like ten. Coon

1:00:47

Middleton Fourth or Isis basketball. Figure.

1:00:50

Things differently: The rug. A bigger fish

1:00:52

to fry. Gonna. Help build the

1:00:54

bunker and why with Oprah? Yeah.

1:00:58

Ah, alright. Last game of the

1:01:00

slate, we got the New York

1:01:02

Knicks cats in five points in

1:01:04

Philadelphia. Course, I've taken my sixers.

1:01:06

They still got one of those

1:01:09

first two games they didn't. They

1:01:11

rebounded be that a fifty point

1:01:13

game. They're gonna roll here once

1:01:15

again. Scott. Am I right?

1:01:17

Or order the next poses out. Mega

1:01:19

mega The nail biter here. I.

1:01:22

I'm gonna go with these sixers and

1:01:24

this one I use in game three.

1:01:26

If you're going to be a long

1:01:28

series anyway, you and be probably should

1:01:30

have been ejected. know fence around out

1:01:32

there are Robinson's at a boot now

1:01:34

get move so it's probably gonna miss.

1:01:36

or a sub zero's how's the knicks?

1:01:38

Don't me without my old on he's

1:01:40

I get suspended for that. I

1:01:43

don't think so. Wow, don't

1:01:45

America a victim. Fl pals the of

1:01:47

As and I'm is Bell's palsy. Yeah

1:01:49

come on man. the guy who were

1:01:51

let me if I don't even know

1:01:53

what that is but it's a says

1:01:55

see clearly wasn't playing basketball at that

1:01:57

point. That's crazy. you

1:02:00

mean the dirty plays or do you meet him flopping

1:02:02

on the floor for 21 free throws? Which part are

1:02:04

you complaining about for the not the flopping is bad,

1:02:06

but once you've already flopped and then you're going to

1:02:09

try to like twist some guys' ankle down like an

1:02:11

MMA fighter, leg locks aren't legal

1:02:13

in the app. And yeah, Hey,

1:02:16

it's physical. It's playoff basketball. All right. But of all

1:02:18

be, and be didn't hear a tap. So he kind

1:02:20

of just held on to it. Oh,

1:02:22

well, people may be to not go out of

1:02:24

the way to hurt someone. If

1:02:27

I, I I'm sending, I'm just getting

1:02:29

whoever, you know, 15 man on the,

1:02:31

off the bench, I'm sending him

1:02:33

in for one minute. Well, you get the

1:02:35

right side of his knee, you know, like

1:02:37

that ACL, you get these a fucking bead

1:02:39

chance going. Maybe the guy's gonna, you know,

1:02:41

I'll get back a little bit. I will.

1:02:44

I, you know what? I don't typically cheer when

1:02:47

players get injured, but I will cheer when

1:02:49

indeed gets in. Oh wow. How I will,

1:02:51

I will, I will stand up for injury.

1:02:53

I will stand up and real

1:02:55

rooter of injuries. Kramer just them

1:02:57

bead. Okay. Just in being, you know,

1:02:59

Scott, why are you going to leave the Philly

1:03:01

though? And be it at 50 Robinson's injured. Now

1:03:03

what's the Nixon move? You promote Jericho Sims and

1:03:05

you start giving him some minutes. Like they don't

1:03:07

have any front court depth. The problem is hard

1:03:10

and stun. I like, but he got into foul

1:03:12

trouble pretty early. And that's an

1:03:14

issue when you're guarding and bead because

1:03:16

he's going to manipulate officiating. And if he

1:03:18

gets into foul trouble, I

1:03:20

don't think the Knicks have many great options

1:03:22

besides him. Now he had 50 points to

1:03:24

do whatever he wanted in that game. Maxi

1:03:26

was okay, but the supporting cast stepped up.

1:03:28

Cameron Payne, especially was randomly really good. We had

1:03:30

a good, we had a Cameron Payne, a pain

1:03:32

game, which nobody was expecting. Brunson

1:03:35

was good too, though. He had 39 and 13. So

1:03:37

they kind of showed up for the same game there. I'm going

1:03:40

to lean Philly though. This has the makings of

1:03:42

a seven game series. And I

1:03:44

think that going into the series, I was going

1:03:46

to lean to the home team to win every

1:03:48

game. That's where we're at right now. I

1:03:50

think it was 30 to one. I didn't like the price,

1:03:52

but that was kind of my main thought for the series

1:03:54

scripts. I'm going to stick with it. Give me Philly to

1:03:56

win game four. I think they win this game by about

1:03:59

10 kind of the same. story as game

1:04:01

three, but the lack of front court

1:04:03

depth for the Knicks is a serious problem because

1:04:05

Robinson, despite being the backup was giving them pretty

1:04:07

good minutes off the bench, at least for energy

1:04:10

and for rim protection. That's a massive

1:04:12

loss. I think it's a big deal. I'm going to link the

1:04:14

Philly in this game. I

1:04:16

am coaching every player when we're,

1:04:19

when we're rebounding, we're making sure to get

1:04:21

all the way up under and beads shoes.

1:04:23

We want to be right under the basket.

1:04:25

Make sure when he lands, he might have

1:04:27

a nice soft cushion saying that you're going

1:04:29

to sign Zaza up a chilead of retirement.

1:04:32

Whatever it's a deep poll. I was a

1:04:34

big Zaza guy back in my fantasy basketball

1:04:36

days. Give me the points series starts Sunday

1:04:39

Kramer. I'm sorry. Six months going to

1:04:42

win. They're going to roll like Scott.

1:04:44

I mean, these are the two biggest

1:04:46

TV markets and be going

1:04:48

down. He built some, going down like

1:04:50

15 times in this game. He's going to get,

1:04:54

he does. Yeah. He's just how it

1:04:56

goes. He always falls down and then looks all

1:04:58

creaky, getting back up and he's trying to, I want

1:05:00

to ask you a question about MB because even though

1:05:02

you are rooting for the six years and it's good

1:05:04

for your team, I'm assuming MB is one of those

1:05:06

guys that you love to have on your team, but

1:05:08

hate to be against. Do you actually like him watching

1:05:10

him be played basketball? No, he doesn't.

1:05:13

You can, you can

1:05:15

be in the middle and say, I

1:05:17

enjoy winning. Do you actually enjoy watching

1:05:19

him play basketball? I enjoy aspects of

1:05:21

his game. I don't enjoy when he

1:05:23

sits back at the three point line.

1:05:25

I like that down. That's a, that's

1:05:27

a, I enjoy aspects. It was, it's

1:05:29

the ultimate combo, but with extra steps.

1:05:32

Okay. Cool. I do like his, I

1:05:34

do like his post play. I do

1:05:36

think he settles for threes too much.

1:05:38

And I don't like the constant falling

1:05:40

down offensively and defensively and like, you

1:05:42

know, trying to draw fouls sometimes,

1:05:44

but, uh, him in the

1:05:46

paint, like his post moves, some of

1:05:49

those are like old school centers that

1:05:51

remind me. And that to me is the most fun

1:05:53

part of his game. So he's got a great full

1:05:55

work. I agree with you though about his, I'm not

1:05:57

denying his talent. He won the MVP. I think Or

1:06:00

of the Mvp he's got nominal player. I

1:06:02

hate watching him play basketball but if you're

1:06:04

that's pretty common I'd say opinion. It.

1:06:06

Was fifty points on what nineteen shots. Litter

1:06:09

the free throw contest. Yeah for the eighth

1:06:11

birthday look out more more attempts at the

1:06:13

line or I am that's always a boy

1:06:15

you that I was in game three so

1:06:18

I I I enjoyed it isn't misses. Third

1:06:20

is take away A so the Cmb the

1:06:22

next attempt to get inside the octagon duel

1:06:24

digits. Oh. Man

1:06:27

yeah. I heard the water was

1:06:29

mm a guy randomly rye that M B, the

1:06:31

old grandmother who brought broadly too big of a

1:06:33

frame but surly as a crazy reads I have

1:06:35

a nice take down the I'm. Sorry.

1:06:39

The enemies in a week in in the M

1:06:41

B A of all leagues that's not turning in

1:06:43

the summer. Commodity grabbed his side. The thoughtless and

1:06:45

I just want, I just don't know the differences

1:06:47

between a player. One in a flagrant you have.

1:06:49

that's the one. That.

1:06:51

Trump Boot. What more do you need? A horror

1:06:54

thriller? Suspense? True. I mean I've I'm Yvonne the

1:06:56

next. Oh my Gawd Like this is actually intend

1:06:58

for. He signed in Jerome. He does in Jerome

1:07:00

and you don't suspend them. But. If

1:07:02

a guy comes off the bench and fucking does little

1:07:04

were. The. Will dance on the

1:07:07

Korea use as a bunch or same. He

1:07:09

took a Philly to win the series plus

1:07:11

three fifty before that game boy we give

1:07:13

a fuck would dig sense and ah you

1:07:15

can get it now. plus two hundred. still.

1:07:18

Ah, Which feels like a decent value considering their

1:07:20

favored yeah point two hundred feals a large. The

1:07:22

argument is the Knicks are still up a home

1:07:24

game or with home court advantage of Philly wins,

1:07:26

the steamer might be minus one ten apiece. I.

1:07:29

Think so, he's alive to win the series. I mean,

1:07:31

I did. Additionally, I the next and seven you could

1:07:33

argue that should be up to one or even three.

1:07:36

Nothing is another. First two games in New York won't.

1:07:38

As. Weren't easy home games for the next and

1:07:40

I do think that it's gonna be a competitive

1:07:42

series. I don't mind the post he wandered on.

1:07:44

Still going to picnics and seven, but I have

1:07:47

seven. The first place so close to hundred is

1:07:49

a pretty solid value. boy. my than. I

1:07:52

am. I mean, Mix. nixon when everyone

1:07:54

talks loud and and be going down i

1:07:56

mean i know these that go down or

1:07:58

i'd year ago and bad. You enter it

1:08:01

all. I mean, it's, if there's any honor in

1:08:03

the game of basketball, someone's going to take him

1:08:05

out. All right. Let's call

1:08:07

it. He apologized at least. What's he gonna apologize

1:08:09

for? It's a physical game in the load management

1:08:11

era of basketball. You think there's honor. Really?

1:08:14

That's my point. How is it not a

1:08:17

suspension? It's a soft league. Now he actually,

1:08:19

I mean, I watching it real

1:08:22

time, I said, Oh, he has to be suspended.

1:08:25

He's not suspended. He's playing game four. They're going to roll.

1:08:28

They're going to cover. He's going to get the win. Scott,

1:08:31

what do you like is your lock and

1:08:33

a dog here for this slate? All

1:08:36

right. So my lock for the

1:08:38

show, we covered a lot of

1:08:40

games here for the lock. Let

1:08:42

me just quickly see if I prefer anything on the

1:08:45

Thursday or Friday slate. Cause these men

1:08:47

I like, I think for the sake of

1:08:50

this matchup though, I mean, I do like

1:08:52

that Cleveland Orlando wonder again, but I got burned

1:08:54

in game three. So I'm still a bit salty.

1:08:56

I think I'm going to skip the actual Friday

1:08:58

slate. I think I liked the Saturday slate more

1:09:01

for my lock. I'm going to go

1:09:03

with, I'm going to

1:09:05

save the Denver play for my dog. I'm

1:09:08

going to go with Orlando minus

1:09:10

the two. I think home core matters

1:09:12

a lot in the series and it seemed

1:09:14

like Orlando figure some of out and they're

1:09:16

playing a lot better defense. They were solid

1:09:18

offensively in that game. I

1:09:21

think that Cleveland and Orlando is destined

1:09:23

for seven. That's kind of how I

1:09:25

look at the series. And I think you're

1:09:27

going to end up seeing a competitive seven

1:09:29

game series because of it, maybe not the

1:09:31

individual games, but the ebbs and flows. I'm

1:09:33

going to go Orlando minus two. I like

1:09:35

what I saw, not totally overreacting to what

1:09:37

I saw in game three, but I was

1:09:39

very impressed at how Orlando responded to the

1:09:41

adversity. And I think the crowd definitely helps.

1:09:43

So give me Orlando minus the two as

1:09:45

my lock ugly game, but I think Orlando

1:09:47

offensively might've figured some stuff out, which will

1:09:49

help them in this game for my dog.

1:09:51

I can either go

1:09:53

with Denver to potentially win an ulti

1:09:55

line. I can go with Lakers first

1:09:58

half Denver full game again. That's

1:10:00

an option to maybe just then bead 30

1:10:02

35 plus an affiliate win. I mean that's

1:10:05

an option to go on that I'm

1:10:07

gonna stick with the overall theme of

1:10:10

the 11 game series

1:10:12

between these two teams Give

1:10:14

me the Lakers first half nuggets full game. Yeah,

1:10:16

why not? There's pulse 420 in

1:10:18

game three I

1:10:23

can try to pull it up. I think some people said

1:10:25

they found six to one on that prop Oh, wow, so

1:10:28

I don't have a line on it But I'm gonna

1:10:30

wait till closer to game time and shop around give

1:10:32

me Lakers first half nuggets full game I'm

1:10:35

not gonna fix what isn't broken. It's

1:10:37

been a cash cow. It's 3 and 0 in

1:10:39

the series. Let's make it four now Love

1:10:42

it. Yeah, I'm with you Scott. I'll just

1:10:44

go officially with the lock Denver

1:10:46

minus three, but love that angle Why not keep

1:10:48

running it back? It it almost seems like the

1:10:50

Nuggets are doing the little brother thing if you're

1:10:52

playing like pickup basketball I score a couple of

1:10:54

baskets and then it's make it take it in

1:10:57

the second half and they're just running all over

1:10:59

you It's a rope it open. It's like a

1:11:01

Muhammad Ali rope it up. Yeah, you're doing well

1:11:03

Look, so we're doing and they just immediately like

1:11:05

oh, no, you're actually screwed Though

1:11:07

that's the best analogy like they're just

1:11:09

they're letting you run around Give

1:11:13

all your effort LeBron and then we got

1:11:15

the second half also take a sprinkle on

1:11:18

the Miami Heat money line I mean

1:11:21

just their playoff history against his team How

1:11:23

can you not think there's a little value at plus 340 plus

1:11:25

350? So

1:11:28

yeah heat money line Nuggets minus three, although you

1:11:31

might be able to get like a two and

1:11:33

a half Something there.

1:11:35

So that's me Kramer. What do you got lock

1:11:37

and dog? lock

1:11:42

All right, so I'll you know what I'll pivot here because I

1:11:44

was Both of

1:11:46

those could be locks will lock up. Okay,

1:11:48

see and we'll make the dog Denver

1:11:52

minus How far

1:11:54

do I want to take this six and a

1:11:56

half Denver minus? nine

1:11:58

and a half plus you know, Denver

1:12:01

minus 11 Denver

1:12:04

minus 12 plus three 30. Yeah.

1:12:06

You were going to bring back the old

1:12:09

threads. I like that in here. And, and

1:12:11

maybe I even, it's just basketball. Yeah,

1:12:14

there it is. It's just basketball.
