1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:02,919
Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody.

2
00:00:02,919 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 2: Welcome into another episode of Profit Picks. If you are new,

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,359
we alaly start this show by being transparent. Didn't do

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,119
any shows over the weekend. I bet a lot of

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,960
NFL over the weekend. It was like seven and six,

6
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:21,079
but I lost my best bet, so it wasn't that good.

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,160
It wasn't good at all, So gotta do a little

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:24,719
bit better.

9
00:00:24,559 --> 00:00:27,679
Speaker 1: Than seven and six. NBA.

10
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: Well, NFL props, though they've been hot all season this weekend,

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,079
that was a bright spot for me. And now on

12
00:00:34,119 --> 00:00:37,439
the season, I think I'm ten and three on NFL props.

13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,520
And then I did play some NBA. I've hit ten

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,880
of my last fifteen NBA, so we'll try to roll

15
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,159
that into today. We have nine games to talk about. Veno,

16
00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:47,439
good to be back with you. How's everything been for you?

17
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,719
Speaker 3: Thanks for good ski. NFL was good again this weekend,

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,000
so remain atop the wager. Twelk candycappers in the NFL

19
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,359
forty five and zero point six units for the season.

20
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,640
Was a good job. There was a good job in

21
00:01:02,679 --> 00:01:06,560
college basketball first week seven and three seventy percent, so

22
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:10,560
that went well. NBA, unfortunate for me, lost last night

23
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,239
U Kapper will laugh at me. Golden State team total

24
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,760
over one twenty and a half gets to one fourteen.

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,480
Not good enough in that game. Probably should have just

26
00:01:19,519 --> 00:01:24,079
played the side they dominated second half there. But all's good,

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,079
no complaints here, and we'll see if we can get

28
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:27,920
to this NBA car TOEA. It looks like there's some

29
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,480
stuff to me at least that sticks out Ski, So

30
00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:31,480
we'll talk it out.

31
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, see if we can open up that wallet. All right,

32
00:01:35,359 --> 00:01:38,760
We'll go in rotation order like we always do. That

33
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,640
means the first one up is five fifteen five sixteen

34
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,519
Lakers and Charlotte opened up minus seven and a half

35
00:01:46,599 --> 00:01:49,000
for LA. It did go up to nine, but I'm

36
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,480
seeing Miles British just got.

37
00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: I know. It's our upgraded to available to play.

38
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,879
Speaker 2: It's coming back down to eight and a half total

39
00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:02,359
open two twenty nine and a half. We're looking at

40
00:02:02,359 --> 00:02:05,280
two thirty two and a half right now. I see

41
00:02:05,879 --> 00:02:09,319
Reeves has been upgraded to probable. There will be no Lebron,

42
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,039
no Theorro, no Vincent Nolamelo, Josh Green, Brandon Miller or

43
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:20,680
Grant Williams for this Charlotte team. Nolamelo, no Hornets, for

44
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:23,960
me and I forget you know who. The Lakers just

45
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,439
played last but they lost as a favorite. It was

46
00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:32,360
like an embarrassing loss. They had no business music Atlanta. Okay,

47
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,800
they had no business losing that game. In my opinion.

48
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:38,439
For this one, though the Hornets do have a little

49
00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:40,879
bit of a rest advantage, had two days off.

50
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: I believe it's just no LaMelo, no Me for the Hornets.

51
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: So I think that the Lakers should be a shame,

52
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:53,159
and I think that they would play a full game tonight.

53
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,560
It would be Lakers or past for me. What do

54
00:02:55,599 --> 00:02:56,520
you think about that game?

55
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,759
Speaker 3: Well? I played, I played la the points eight and

56
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,639
a half number, but I mostly I played the head

57
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:11,240
coach here ski jj Reddick was pretty Usually he's got

58
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,319
a lot to say, you know, he doesn't mind talking afterwards,

59
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,439
but he was pretty brief with what he had to

60
00:03:16,439 --> 00:03:18,520
say the other night after that loss.

61
00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: And.

62
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 3: Is his basic His whole basic thing was there's not

63
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,639
a lot to like about what we did tonight. He

64
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,879
wasn't thrilled with any aspect of the game, which I

65
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:31,520
know we try to handicap coaches a lot on this

66
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,960
show and a lot of times when they choose to

67
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,280
speak it's meaningful, and I think in Reddick's case, a

68
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:43,719
couple of other things. He said he saw nothing from

69
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:47,080
the team early in the game, with a little throughout

70
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,280
the contest. The praise at all indicated he's not willing

71
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:54,319
to dismiss this performance and just simply move on. He's

72
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,439
going to make a point that the team looks at

73
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,560
it and probably plays better. You combine that with what

74
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:04,039
you just I mean, no LaMelo, no Charlotte's just not good.

75
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,479
And there was a couple of things our guy from

76
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,280
Duke had and he's been playing well. I mean, he's

77
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:15,199
been playing well. If you've been riding his props, I

78
00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:18,439
think you've probably been making money. But he said, you

79
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,639
can't just come out and play soft like that in

80
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,199
the first quarter. Hopefully some guys can get healthy soon.

81
00:04:23,319 --> 00:04:30,279
Obviously a little bit of indication that they're shorthanded, that

82
00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:32,839
they really need LaMelo in the lineup, that they need

83
00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:35,120
Brandon Miller in this lineup, And I don't disagree with

84
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,800
any of that. The defense is horrible. I think if

85
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,560
Freddick has his way, the Lakers will play better defense

86
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,279
here tonight in this game. So for me, it was

87
00:04:44,399 --> 00:04:50,079
Lakers and I generally like West versus East, especially when

88
00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:52,040
there's a class difference, because I think the West is

89
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,240
a better conference overall. So you got a good team

90
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,560
from the West against the miserable team from the East

91
00:04:56,639 --> 00:04:59,160
without a couple of their best players. So I played

92
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:01,000
the Lakers here, see how it goes. But I think

93
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,839
they can win this game by ten plus.

94
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm kind of with you there. Lakers have been

95
00:05:05,319 --> 00:05:07,959
a dead overteam. They haven't been playing the best defense.

96
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,360
But without LaMelo, you know, no pays. I don't know.

97
00:05:13,959 --> 00:05:15,639
I don't want to touch the total, but I agree

98
00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:19,199
with you on The Lake Show all right Tomorrow says

99
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:21,839
maybe even early says they'll be fired up after the loss.

100
00:05:22,399 --> 00:05:25,480
That is actually pretty appilling. Couldn't tuck you off a

101
00:05:25,519 --> 00:05:29,600
first quarter or first half. Next game up, Blazers and

102
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,360
Magic opened up minus three for the Magic. Looks like

103
00:05:32,439 --> 00:05:34,800
two go to open two thirty four and a half

104
00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:37,480
as high as two thirty six as far as the

105
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:45,000
injury report, Scoot with East Tyble, Wesley all out, Suggs

106
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,680
mo Wagner out for the Magic. Magic on a back

107
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,720
to back, So you have the Blazers with a little

108
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,120
bit of rest advents here Man the Magic have well,

109
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,800
you know, they did play good in the first game

110
00:05:57,879 --> 00:05:59,959
versus Celtics. I guess it's not too surprising to see

111
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,600
the Celtics come back and win in a quick revenge game.

112
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,160
Another coach, Robno, who is not happy with the way

113
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:09,560
his team has been performing, and he's not happy with

114
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,959
the questions he's being asked. Seems like he's on the

115
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:19,600
hot seat. You know, rest advantage is important. Now, you're

116
00:06:19,639 --> 00:06:21,319
just asking these teams to win the game. There's no

117
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,079
points in alved really to be It's tough. It's tough

118
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:31,120
to back the Blazers to win games. So I don't know.

119
00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:34,120
I think that Orlando's the hungrier team. I just don't

120
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,319
know if I can put my money on it.

121
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: How do you feel?

122
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think We've talked a lot about Jamal Mosley

123
00:06:41,399 --> 00:06:44,639
this season, and Orlando's switched to being more up tempo

124
00:06:45,519 --> 00:06:48,199
than what they were last year, and it's not going away.

125
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,120
I mean, you read behind or inside the lines of

126
00:06:52,199 --> 00:06:55,879
his quotes after that game, you'll understand that they still

127
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,040
want to play fast and that it's still somewhat of

128
00:06:58,079 --> 00:07:04,000
an evaluation experimentation period for this team. Here's his exact words,

129
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,160
we don't want to go with the highs and lows.

130
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,720
The team understands that things happen when guys are in

131
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,439
the right spots, when we push the pace, the stops

132
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,319
that we need in order to get out and run.

133
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,920
Those are all process pieces and that's what we're continuing

134
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,279
to do. So they're still working through some stuff here.

135
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,199
As to the back to backs here at the minutes

136
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:25,720
were huge, Ski, and there were big minutes right against

137
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:29,079
Boston yesterday. That's an important game for Orlando to try

138
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,240
and pull off the home sweep. Franz Wagner thirty seven minutes,

139
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,040
Paolo thirty four and a half minutes, Desmond Bane thirty

140
00:07:37,079 --> 00:07:38,959
five minutes. And now you're going to ask these guys

141
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,160
to come out again against a team that really wants

142
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,639
to run. In Portland. What I found interesting here and

143
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,199
maybe we can capitalize on it is Portland is a

144
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,319
little frustrated with the way they've been playing early on.

145
00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:55,600
According to what I have here, Portland, we'll put an

146
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,879
emphasis on avoiding falling behind early. Thiago splitters group is

147
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,040
halftime three of the last four games. We need to

148
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,959
start games better. I think that lately we've had to

149
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,319
get punched in the face first and then wake up

150
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,720
to start to play the second half. That's not good enough.

151
00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:12,720
League is too tough to wait for that. Hopefully from

152
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,199
the get go tonight we are ready to play and

153
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,120
get what we want the way that we want. So

154
00:08:19,279 --> 00:08:21,879
maybe a first half play with Portland here, But when

155
00:08:21,879 --> 00:08:27,439
you play these back to backs, I think generally.

156
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,639
Speaker 1: The second half usually, or at least.

157
00:08:29,959 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 3: Generally, you would want Orlando first half right, because you

158
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,320
would think they'd tiere second half. Portland thinks that they are.

159
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,679
At least Portland's indicating that they want to play hard

160
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,240
first half. I know it's going to be played with pace.

161
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,600
To your point, my initial thinking would be that Orlando

162
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,519
runs out of gas in the second half, not the first,

163
00:08:50,159 --> 00:08:52,720
and therefore maybe that's why Portland's only getting these couple

164
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:55,360
of points. Orlando hasn't been the best defensive team, and

165
00:08:55,399 --> 00:08:56,799
I don't know that we can expect it out of

166
00:08:56,799 --> 00:08:59,480
them tonight. I didn't play the game. I just found

167
00:08:59,519 --> 00:09:02,240
it interesting that Portland's going to focus on first half here.

168
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:07,639
If you look at Orlando's first half numbers, four and

169
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,919
six overall in the first half, or Lando only two

170
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,080
and three at home Portland down the road first half,

171
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,879
you know what, on the road three and one ski,

172
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,759
but overall not good overall not why not bad either

173
00:09:24,799 --> 00:09:28,120
five and four. So in Portland may be nippicking saying

174
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,600
that they're not playing well early, but they've been a

175
00:09:30,639 --> 00:09:32,399
pretty good road first half team.

176
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 2: You know, thinking about it. Also, they were favorites in

177
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,799
that last game that they lost to the Heat. Heat

178
00:09:39,799 --> 00:09:43,039
were missing Bam right, and maybe they were missing somebody else,

179
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,120
but they did lose as a favorite. You mentioned Thiago's

180
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,840
splitter being unhappy with them. I mean not only back

181
00:09:49,879 --> 00:09:51,519
to back for the Magic. It is their third game

182
00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:55,960
of four nights. Maybe there is some some reasons to

183
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,320
get there with the Blazers, whether it's early or full game.

184
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,759
Jay Patrino saying first half over, I don't really have

185
00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:07,559
any strong opinions about the total, and to Big Baby says,

186
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:08,759
thanks for the Franz report.

187
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,519
Speaker 1: I was talking about Moe Wagner. He's out. Franz is

188
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,679
playing all right.

189
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: I think we can keep it going here Wizards and Pistons.

190
00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:24,240
Pistons did get that dub versus six Ers last night. K.

191
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,000
I'm a big K fan, big K guy, probably my

192
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,519
I think, yeah, it's my favorite point guard right now,

193
00:10:30,919 --> 00:10:34,519
one of my favorite players in general. Guy has that

194
00:10:34,639 --> 00:10:37,679
Detroit team eight and two. I don't think we've seen Detroit.

195
00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:45,559
I mean since Chauncey Billups and Rip Hamilton and Ben Wallace.

196
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,399
I haven't seen the Pistons looking like this.

197
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,799
Speaker 1: So it makes sense.

198
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,159
Speaker 2: I mean when you look at how good they've been

199
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,799
so far, even though they're on the back to back,

200
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,720
and then how pathetic the Wizards have been, like they're

201
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,639
just getting blown out on a nightly basis.

202
00:11:00,279 --> 00:11:01,799
Speaker 1: So I'll ask you Rob.

203
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,399
Speaker 2: You know, rest advantage is important, but are the Wizards

204
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,919
just that bad where you got later or stay out

205
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:08,440
the way.

206
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:12,159
Speaker 3: I was hoping you were going to say, you're going

207
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,159
to get behind this ugly dog scheme because.

208
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,279
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I can't do it.

209
00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: A couple of things here, Kde played forty minutes last night.

210
00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:25,320
It's a bunch Jalen Durhan, who I think we both

211
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:30,200
like in the middle. He is rim protection, he is scoring,

212
00:11:30,279 --> 00:11:33,159
rebounding the whole nine yard twenty one and sixteen last

213
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,000
night for Jalen Durhan. But he played thirty seven and

214
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,000
a half minutes in that game last night in Detroit.

215
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,799
They're shorthanded to begin with, you know, JB. Bickerstaff, we're

216
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,440
down quite a few bodies. They thought that coming into

217
00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:50,679
the season, depth would be a strength. That proved to

218
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,200
be last night, But will it prove to be on

219
00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:55,799
back to backs? All of that situationally would have you

220
00:11:55,919 --> 00:11:58,720
toward the other side in this game. But as you

221
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,440
pointed out, it is the Wizards, and you have to

222
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,679
put that into consideration here. The Wizards are that bad.

223
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,639
I happen to think that, maybe, you know, I might

224
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,120
hold my nose here Ski and go with the eleven

225
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,399
and a half. I swear it just it lines up

226
00:12:14,399 --> 00:12:17,799
as a game that Detroit shouldn't care about as much.

227
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:21,159
Maybe Kaye doesn't see forty minutes, not that you need

228
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,240
to play forty minutes against the Wizards. He might be

229
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,799
able to play twenty eight and go rest because the

230
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,039
margin is so big. But I think there's opportunity, you know,

231
00:12:29,159 --> 00:12:31,879
on the other side of the on the other side

232
00:12:31,879 --> 00:12:34,200
of the floor. The Washington coach had a lot of

233
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,240
things to say, and again I don't know what you

234
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,799
make of what he's trying to say. How competitive we

235
00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:42,440
were last game, and we like to get into these

236
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,720
close games and we're making strides. We don't see those strides.

237
00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:50,200
I mean not in our business point spreads, totals. We're

238
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,399
not seeing any strides out of your team, coach. But

239
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,039
he thinks he saw something last game that might carry over.

240
00:12:56,159 --> 00:12:58,440
I think if I had allow would be on the

241
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,759
if I had to play, I would be on the

242
00:13:02,879 --> 00:13:05,159
Washington side and just pray that they could sneak in

243
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:06,320
under eleven and a half.

244
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe they're not motivated tonight like tomorrow, says.

245
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:12,919
Speaker 1: Jason.

246
00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: Gets a good point too, He says, I don't think

247
00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:16,480
Pigeons are the type of team to take a day off,

248
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,440
even if the Wizards, with all those losing seasons they.

249
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: Had said, I mean, that could be a good point too,

250
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:24,039
right there.

251
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: Situationally though, everything does point to Wizards rest advantage. Yeah,

252
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,120
and just you know, you talked about those minutes for

253
00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:35,840
the Pistons, just fading that on the back to back,

254
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:41,080
so I can understand. But man, those Wizards have been

255
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:43,039
I don't even know if they're just a dirty dog

256
00:13:43,159 --> 00:13:47,440
that's filthy.

257
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:48,799
Speaker 1: We'll see.

258
00:13:50,279 --> 00:13:53,279
Speaker 2: Next one up is Cleveland and Miami. The opener I

259
00:13:53,279 --> 00:13:57,679
have here is eight maybe the open yeah, opener half

260
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,600
here is eight. I'm looking at seven and a half

261
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,200
here we go. You know, those toddles are starting to

262
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,679
get pushed up open two forty three as high as

263
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:12,279
two forty eight. Injuries, Larry Nash Junior questionable for the Calves.

264
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,399
Still know Max Streuce, everybody else available. Heat will be

265
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,480
without Bam, Tyler Herro and uh of course Terry Rose here.

266
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,759
Speaker 1: I'll keep his name alive on the show. You do

267
00:14:26,879 --> 00:14:29,120
have you do have?

268
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: Drew Smith probable for this Heat team. Looking at the

269
00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:38,559
situation here, it is third game in four nights for

270
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:43,480
both of these teams, and the Heat, I'm not mistaken

271
00:14:44,159 --> 00:14:47,200
that's that's the other side, right They just played the Blazers,

272
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,080
I think it was, and they won that game, and

273
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,720
they were an underdog, So coming off of win as

274
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,480
a dog could be a little bit of a letdown spot.

275
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,919
At the same time, this is a Cavs team who

276
00:15:00,759 --> 00:15:05,759
own the Heat last year, you care. I think that

277
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,759
they beat them every time last year, I know that,

278
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,720
and only one game was not by the margin that

279
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,039
we're looking at here tonight. So I think that the

280
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,399
Calves just in general match up well with this Miami team.

281
00:15:19,639 --> 00:15:21,519
And when I think about that, like Miami likes to

282
00:15:21,519 --> 00:15:25,039
score in the paint. Maybe some Mit Rangers, like they

283
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,840
started off the year shooting a lot of threes and

284
00:15:26,919 --> 00:15:29,320
good from three, but the past few games it hasn't

285
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,440
been like that, So they're not gonna have a lot

286
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,879
of success in the paint. With Jared Allen and Evan

287
00:15:33,919 --> 00:15:38,720
Mobley down there, Calves just getting a little healthier. I

288
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,480
want to take the Calves here, Rob, you know, can

289
00:15:40,519 --> 00:15:41,240
you talk me off?

290
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 3: It's hard to it really is, because as you mentioned,

291
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,159
even in that playoff series last year, at one of

292
00:15:47,159 --> 00:15:50,679
those games, Cleveland beat this team by fifty five points,

293
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,000
and I think it's when that Cleveland can get motivated.

294
00:15:55,039 --> 00:15:57,759
For the interesting thing about Cleveland, Ski, you were talking

295
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,600
about these totals getting pushed up this when we're looking

296
00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:02,679
at now they've bet from two forty three to two

297
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:03,519
forty seven.

298
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:03,759
Speaker 1: And a half.

299
00:16:04,279 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 3: Cleveland doesn't mind scoring themselves. Miami for what it's worth.

300
00:16:10,679 --> 00:16:13,960
Eric Spolstra, I'm not putting the brakes on anyone who

301
00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:16,240
wants to attack the rim our. Guys are getting pretty

302
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,639
comfortable in this in this style, and he's you know,

303
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,960
obviously let loose of the reins. It's going to be

304
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,440
up and down. Since Darius Garland returned to the calves,

305
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,080
the game totals have landed two fifty three, two sixty three,

306
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,919
and two fifty, all above what we're looking at tonight.

307
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,759
I think, just based on pace and the ability of

308
00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:43,799
the calves to score, you might be able to chalk

309
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,919
the calves up for one hundred and thirty here. So

310
00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:49,039
on the other side, you're looking for one eighteen to

311
00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:52,159
get it up and over. I don't know that that's

312
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,080
too much to ask for. It's kind of hard at

313
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,600
this Pointski, but I don't know that Miami totals are

314
00:16:56,679 --> 00:16:59,200
yet out of range. That game you talked about with

315
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,279
Portland this fifty three in the first quarter the other night.

316
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,960
Maybe that's what Thiago Splitter was so mad about. Fifty

317
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,240
three in the first quarter. Never seen such a thing

318
00:17:07,279 --> 00:17:12,000
other than an All Star game at almost lean toward

319
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,319
over here. I think Cleveland's the better team. But the

320
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,000
way Miami is just dedicated themselves to playing this fast

321
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,119
and they almost don't mind giving up buckets because they

322
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,440
think they're gonna outscore you. And I don't think they'll

323
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,920
outscore this team.

324
00:17:30,079 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, we know the heater are gonna play on tempo,

325
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,839
you know, the heat, I would ask you this, you know,

326
00:17:34,079 --> 00:17:36,000
is there a reason to cut it in half? The

327
00:17:36,039 --> 00:17:38,200
heat are five and zero to the first half over

328
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,279
last five games, three and two to the full game over,

329
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,480
Maybe this one dies dies out if the Calves are

330
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,920
whooping that ass tonight. Any thoughts on maybe first half

331
00:17:49,039 --> 00:17:49,920
versus the full game?

332
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 3: You know what? And surprisingly, I'm just looking at it now,

333
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,680
Ski where we sit as we talk it out here,

334
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,039
it's at one twenty and a half, which to me,

335
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,079
you know, if you're these halftime totals every single day,

336
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,519
as far as the lines are concerned before the game

337
00:18:06,599 --> 00:18:09,519
is played, one twenty and a half is not unreasonable

338
00:18:10,279 --> 00:18:12,960
in these games. I've seen these things listed at one

339
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,240
twenty four and a half, one twenty five, et cetera,

340
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,359
et cetera. This one almost seems a little bit low.

341
00:18:17,839 --> 00:18:21,200
So just first glance, I would have to agree with

342
00:18:21,279 --> 00:18:23,559
you that one twenty and a half doesn't seem like

343
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,839
that big of a number to get over here in

344
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,359
this game. One thing for sure, Cleveland has not yet

345
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:37,000
played Miami at this you know philosophy, this tempo, the

346
00:18:37,079 --> 00:18:40,119
Miami we knew from last year far different that playoff

347
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,119
Miami than what they brought to the Floyd this year,

348
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,559
So it might take take Cleveland a little bit to

349
00:18:45,599 --> 00:18:48,119
get adjusted to the speed Miami is going to play at.

350
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,559
But I'll go back to one quick point that you

351
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,759
made about no Bam and Mobley and Allen inside. Man,

352
00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:57,160
the buckets should be very easy for Cleveland in this

353
00:18:57,319 --> 00:18:59,200
So maybe first half over one twenty and a half.

354
00:18:59,279 --> 00:19:01,599
I'm as you say, you're going to write it down

355
00:19:01,599 --> 00:19:03,599
on your shortlist, I'm gonna write that one down as

356
00:19:03,599 --> 00:19:05,000
we speak here because I kind of like.

357
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,279
Speaker 2: That, yeah, man, I mean sounding pretty good to me.

358
00:19:10,839 --> 00:19:15,960
I'm looking at looking at these calves hard. I like

359
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,559
that first half of over. I'm looking at these calves

360
00:19:18,599 --> 00:19:19,319
pretty hard man.

361
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: You know.

362
00:19:20,839 --> 00:19:23,559
Speaker 2: You know, maybe I've gotten away from this a little bit.

363
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,160
I definitely got away from it last year. But over

364
00:19:28,279 --> 00:19:32,640
in general and all my you know, career of capping,

365
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,039
the most important thing to me has been how are

366
00:19:36,039 --> 00:19:39,319
you playing right now? And when I look at the heat,

367
00:19:39,559 --> 00:19:42,960
like they start off the season really really hot, playing

368
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,200
really well lately, I haven't been liking everything I'm seeing

369
00:19:46,279 --> 00:19:49,000
and not rebounding well, you're gonna be without a reboundering

370
00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:52,680
Bam Calves. I mean they got two twin towers down there.

371
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:57,480
Calves definitely been the better offense and defensive ready team

372
00:19:57,559 --> 00:20:03,920
last five They've dominated this team. I feel like I

373
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,960
have to go with the Calves here. So yeah, I'll

374
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,640
put that on my short list right there. I'm pretty

375
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,880
sure I'll get there with the Calves all right. Next

376
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:17,000
game up, you know, Spurs and Bulls opened up minus

377
00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:19,440
one for the Spurs. We're looking at four or four

378
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,759
and a half. So it went from two thirty four

379
00:20:21,799 --> 00:20:23,960
and a half up to two as high as two

380
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,440
thirty seven and a half. Take a look at the

381
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:33,319
Spur the injury report. Luke Cornett questionable, Dylan Harper out here,

382
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,160
Fox will be out there for the Bulls. Giddy's questionable

383
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,880
after getting crossed off the earth. He better play because

384
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,119
he's gonna it's gonna be so much means and he'll

385
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,400
never hear the end of it if he doesn't play tonight.

386
00:20:48,279 --> 00:20:49,839
He's already probably not hearing the end of it, but

387
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,000
it will only get worse. Patrick Williams is probable, Zach Collins,

388
00:20:54,079 --> 00:20:59,920
Kobe White both out because of what I just said,

389
00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:03,640
I think Giddy plays, how effective he'll be We'll see

390
00:21:04,319 --> 00:21:07,160
Darren Fox. He looked good in that first game. I

391
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,519
think he can score versus Bulls defense. I mean, the

392
00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:14,160
Spurs seemed like the easy side to me, honestly, and

393
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:20,039
I could I could be talking in the dareon Fox points. Yeah,

394
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,559
Spurs are nothing for me and this one Robbino. But

395
00:21:22,599 --> 00:21:24,720
if Giddy's in, the number will come down. And I

396
00:21:24,759 --> 00:21:28,119
do think he's gonna play. So I'm curious, how are

397
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,000
you looking at Spurs Bulls?

398
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,559
Speaker 1: And I'll be right back. I'm still dying just a

399
00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:35,079
little bit. Give me, give me a second.

400
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,839
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna say this. I'm already with you on

401
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,400
the Spurs and I'm probably gonna get there with Spurs

402
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,720
team total. Now, remember the beginning of the season when,

403
00:21:47,839 --> 00:21:51,200
and we've talked about it since Billy Donovan, we're going

404
00:21:51,279 --> 00:21:54,200
to be more physical, We're gonna be more defensive oriented.

405
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,799
It kind of showed up early. But for the last

406
00:21:57,839 --> 00:22:00,720
five games that the Chicago Bulls that play, they gave

407
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:03,640
up one twenty five to the Knicks, one twenty eight

408
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,319
to the Knicks, one twenty six to the Bucks, one

409
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,960
twenty eight to the Cavs. All that defense talk is

410
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,119
eroding quickly all around us here, all around the Bulls.

411
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,240
So I think san Antonio now with seeing it, excuse me,

412
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,319
with the Aaron Fox at the at the helm proud.

413
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,440
Their team total is one nineteen and a half. I

414
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,319
think one twenty, as indicated by the numbers that I

415
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,240
just rattled off, one twenty is not hard for the

416
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,759
Bulls to allow. They're not a good defensive team, as

417
00:22:33,799 --> 00:22:36,519
Billy Donovan wanted us to believe early. They're not as

418
00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:39,160
physical a team as Billy Donovan wanted us to believe,

419
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,359
and it's showing up in these results. If I go

420
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,319
back even a couple more, they gave up one twenty

421
00:22:43,319 --> 00:22:47,279
three to the Hawks. So that's five of their last

422
00:22:47,279 --> 00:22:50,880
seven games where they've given up one twenty or better.

423
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,599
I think san Antonio is well equipped to get that

424
00:22:53,799 --> 00:22:56,359
against this defense. I don't see why it doesn't happen

425
00:22:56,519 --> 00:23:00,799
like the Spurs. Like the Spurs team total here, if

426
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,759
Josh Giddy's in doesn't make much more different, it doesn't

427
00:23:04,759 --> 00:23:07,400
make much difference defensively for the Bulls. They don't become

428
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,240
a better defensive team with Giddy on the floor. So

429
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,160
I'd probably looked those two ways. Ski like us I've

430
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,599
already bet Spurs at a better price than this. I

431
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,720
actually got three and a half but it is pushed

432
00:23:18,759 --> 00:23:20,440
up to four and a half now and I like

433
00:23:20,519 --> 00:23:22,720
over one nineteen and a half Spurs team total.

434
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 2: All right, so doubling up on this one here from

435
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:27,759
mister Robert.

436
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: I like it.

437
00:23:29,759 --> 00:23:33,279
Speaker 2: I mean we talked about it. Yeah, Billy Donovan, you know,

438
00:23:33,559 --> 00:23:35,720
talked all that defense. It looked good for a couple

439
00:23:35,759 --> 00:23:38,519
of games. But we know who the Bulls are. That's

440
00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:43,680
it's not gonna last, Robie. No, so expect the Spurs

441
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,920
to score, especially with the Aaron box back in the lineup.

442
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it.

443
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 2: Spurs and Spurs team total, definitely.

444
00:23:53,960 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 3: Give me a quick Billy Donovan forward here Ski He's

445
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,039
he's criticizing his team's offense, not criticizing, but saying that

446
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:12,480
they're not as good offensively as other teams because, in

447
00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:15,440
his words, we must attack. We've have to find a

448
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,559
way collectively to generate more spacing and penetration. His whole

449
00:24:18,599 --> 00:24:21,079
point is they played Cleveland and Milwaukee in their last

450
00:24:21,079 --> 00:24:24,400
two games, and when they defensively have to defend. Donovan,

451
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,759
Mitchell or Jannis teams generally over commit to those two

452
00:24:28,799 --> 00:24:30,759
guys because they're afraid of them. He's like, we have

453
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,559
nobody on our team that anybody over commits to, so

454
00:24:33,599 --> 00:24:37,079
we don't get those same openings offensively. We got to

455
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,799
find a way to generate those in when you're going

456
00:24:40,839 --> 00:24:45,079
against Wenby at the rim and Darren Fox obviously doesn't

457
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,920
add defense to this team. But point being, Chicago may

458
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,279
have a few extra turnovers here, a few extra misses

459
00:24:52,279 --> 00:24:54,720
that turn into runouts for the Spurs. So I think

460
00:24:54,759 --> 00:24:56,759
I'm all about san Antonio in that game.

461
00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:02,039
Speaker 2: I like that comment tomorrow if you know, you know

462
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,200
about the Grant that fought o wasted screen after get

463
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,960
he got crossed, That's exactly what it looked like, all right,

464
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:16,599
Bucks and mass the Bucks last night. I'm pretty sure

465
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,720
because I was watching Janni's first LP, I'm pretty sure

466
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:26,880
that was yesterday. Yeah, yeah, it was yesterday. So Bucks

467
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,480
went the back to back here Dallas with a little

468
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,000
bit of a rest advantage, and Dallas for Rovino, they've

469
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,599
looked absolutely pathetic. I didn't think this team would look

470
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,880
like this. Maybe a lot a lot of it has

471
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:43,000
to do with Jason Kidd, you know, trying to force

472
00:25:43,039 --> 00:25:45,400
this Cooper flag at point guard. A lot of it

473
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,440
has to do with injuries to Anthony Davis and you

474
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,960
know some of their bigs, et cetera. But damn Rob,

475
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,759
you know they look pathetic. It is the like I said,

476
00:25:55,759 --> 00:25:57,960
second of a back to back for the Bucks. It's

477
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,079
the third game and four nights for both fourth and

478
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,079
six for the Mavericks. The Bucks though, maybe a little bit.

479
00:26:04,839 --> 00:26:08,119
I mean they were the favorite in that last Wait, yeah,

480
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,039
they were the favorite in that last game. I think

481
00:26:11,799 --> 00:26:14,240
I don't. I'm kind of I'm not taking the Mavericks like.

482
00:26:14,599 --> 00:26:15,559
Speaker 1: I get it.

483
00:26:15,559 --> 00:26:18,319
Speaker 2: It's a good spot for them, But do you want

484
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,039
to catch that fall a knife or do you want

485
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:22,240
them to show you first. I need them to show

486
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,559
me first because the mask they haven't give me any

487
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,240
reason to believe in them.

488
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:28,079
Speaker 1: What do you think?

489
00:26:29,559 --> 00:26:31,519
Speaker 3: Well, I'd agree, and I'd agree even more because the

490
00:26:31,559 --> 00:26:33,480
Bucks are off of a loss. That game was hard

491
00:26:33,519 --> 00:26:35,279
for it. You say, the Bucks led for a lot

492
00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:37,839
of that and then Houston pulled away big fourth quarter

493
00:26:38,039 --> 00:26:40,799
out of them. So credit to the Houston Rockets for

494
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,799
pulling that one out. And Milwaukee's generally not been a

495
00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:49,359
good back to back team, especially back to back with travel. However,

496
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,559
you got to win the winnables, and I think if

497
00:26:52,599 --> 00:26:54,799
they had won that game yesterday, I might be looking

498
00:26:54,839 --> 00:26:56,680
at this a little bit differently. But I don't think

499
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,480
they want to lose two in a row here, and

500
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:04,920
the price is actually conducive to betting the Bucks Dallas

501
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,519
even over the last five ski which I'm looking at

502
00:27:08,559 --> 00:27:11,480
now shout out to u Kappa one more time for

503
00:27:11,519 --> 00:27:15,319
the Moneyballer website. But last five games, Dallas hasn't really

504
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,799
slowed down their tempo whatsoever. And I don't think you

505
00:27:18,839 --> 00:27:20,839
want to go quick with the Honest and the Bucks.

506
00:27:20,839 --> 00:27:25,880
I really don't, So I think there's a lot going

507
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,559
wrong in Dallas. They don't they go fast, they don't

508
00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:32,160
score Milwaukee when they want to, can play enough defense.

509
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,039
I think they're motivated to win here against this team,

510
00:27:35,519 --> 00:27:38,400
and they just as you mentioned the Bigs, the situation

511
00:27:38,519 --> 00:27:41,359
there which was supposed to be and when they're healthy

512
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,519
it will be Gafford Lively Ad. That's a whole lot

513
00:27:45,559 --> 00:27:50,200
different than no Lively, no Ad and Gafford not necessarily

514
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,519
playing at one hundred percent. It's just different. Right now,

515
00:27:52,559 --> 00:27:55,920
no Kyrie at point until probably after the first of

516
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,640
the year, so it's difficult here to play Dallas after

517
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,920
what they shown us. Any team that can lose by

518
00:28:03,039 --> 00:28:05,440
two add home to New Orleans on a back to back,

519
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,599
you know, can lose by six, six or eight to

520
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,440
Milwaukee off of back to back. So I'd probably be

521
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:12,759
on Bucks or nothing here.

522
00:28:14,319 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: All right, other books or nothing.

523
00:28:16,039 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 2: Steven Young says under two thirty says he thinks every

524
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,240
MAVs game finished under the total. They barely scored one

525
00:28:22,279 --> 00:28:25,440
hundred points versus the Wizards. I mean, not a bad

526
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,640
way to look that MAVs offense has, but you know,

527
00:28:27,839 --> 00:28:30,519
maybe a Buck's defense suffers on the second.

528
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: Of a back to back.

529
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 2: A lot of different ways you can look at this one.

530
00:28:33,279 --> 00:28:37,039
Not my favorite game of the day. Pelicans and Sons,

531
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,839
I don't know, waste too much time, but Suns open

532
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,720
six went up to eight and a half. That shows

533
00:28:41,759 --> 00:28:46,440
you how sorry the Pelicans are. That total came down

534
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,359
about from two thirty and a half as low as

535
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,079
two twenty five and a half, so by a five

536
00:28:52,079 --> 00:28:56,839
point move there, I think MESI has just been ruled in. Yes,

537
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:02,920
pull is out, Zion out for Phoenix. Roy O'Neill's probable

538
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,599
Jalen Green did reinjurre that hamstring, or at least that's

539
00:29:05,599 --> 00:29:08,400
what it looked like. He was limping off the court.

540
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,720
He had an hamstring injury before he came back, so

541
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,119
I just think he reaggravated it. I was watching without

542
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:20,720
the sound. I can't look at the Pelicans, Rovin, know,

543
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,480
I know, I don't really, you know, think of the

544
00:29:22,519 --> 00:29:24,680
Sons as a minus eight and a half team, But

545
00:29:25,039 --> 00:29:25,839
it just feels like.

546
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: This numbers is like that for a reason.

547
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: So do you have anything on Pelicans or Sons or

548
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,960
should we keep it moving right along?

549
00:29:35,559 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 3: I have nothing here, Ski. All I would say is

550
00:29:37,519 --> 00:29:39,359
the last time I tried to lay eight and a

551
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,839
half against the Pelicans on the road and with a

552
00:29:43,839 --> 00:29:46,799
bad basketball team, it was Dallas and the Pelicans won

553
00:29:46,839 --> 00:29:48,640
straight up. So I'm not gonna do Phoenix a little

554
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,319
better than Dallas. But I'm not laying eight and a

555
00:29:50,319 --> 00:29:53,160
half again with a bad basketball team at home against

556
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,960
the Pelicans, regardless of who's in their lineup. So just

557
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,839
a big red X through that one didn't play won't play.

558
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,119
Speaker 2: All right, We'll keep it going different looks in the chat.

559
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,319
This next game is very interesting to be here, Robb.

560
00:30:06,319 --> 00:30:09,920
You know T Wolves at the Jazz and this one

561
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,440
opened up. I have to open her at seven and

562
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,680
a half, so that means it hasn't moved. Total came

563
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,480
down from two thirty six, so it's two thirty four

564
00:30:18,519 --> 00:30:23,279
and a half. Injury report as right now, Terrence Shannon

565
00:30:23,319 --> 00:30:27,519
Junior is out for the Timberwolves. For the Jazz, I

566
00:30:27,519 --> 00:30:29,559
mean we know Walker Kessler is done for the year,

567
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,680
right so that's a big blow for them. Kyle Anderson

568
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,799
is questionable. You have Taylor Hendrix also questionable, and Yang

569
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,319
looks like he's out. This is the second of a

570
00:30:40,359 --> 00:30:42,880
back to back for the Wolves, third and fourth, fourth

571
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,440
and sixth for them. For the Jazz, they've had two

572
00:30:46,519 --> 00:30:49,039
days off. The last time they played, it was this

573
00:30:49,119 --> 00:30:52,160
timber Wolves team and they got blown off the Earth.

574
00:30:52,319 --> 00:30:54,279
I think they lost by forty points. Rob You know,

575
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,920
Jazz also on the front end of a back to back,

576
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,000
so situationally, this is absolutely a spot for the Jazz,

577
00:31:05,279 --> 00:31:11,119
and I think it could be like a It's definitely

578
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,920
a fatigue spot for the Timberwolves.

579
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: I can see them.

580
00:31:16,119 --> 00:31:18,359
Speaker 2: You know, they cared about that last game because it's

581
00:31:18,359 --> 00:31:20,720
a cup game, so they whooped them. You know, the

582
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,880
margins matter in a Cup game. They really cared that

583
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,039
much about this one, I don't think so. And the

584
00:31:27,119 --> 00:31:30,640
spread on that last game was like fifteen points. Now

585
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,440
we have seven points after they just lost by forty.

586
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,720
I don't know, Ravino. This is one of those where.

587
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:36,839
Speaker 1: I just.

588
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,839
Speaker 2: And Utah has looked really bad lately. But Utah was

589
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,839
in one of those beast schedule spots. They were playing

590
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,720
so many games in the short time span, and I

591
00:31:46,759 --> 00:31:49,799
think they were all on the road. This is one

592
00:31:49,799 --> 00:31:52,400
of those I just is screaming at me, Rob, you

593
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:57,559
know right now, like I've seen this before, Rovino, I'm

594
00:31:57,559 --> 00:32:00,279
thinking about taking them Jazz at the house two and

595
00:32:00,359 --> 00:32:02,519
all as a home dog. Can you talk me off?

596
00:32:04,279 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 3: The problem for me? And I looked to take Utah

597
00:32:07,559 --> 00:32:11,480
myself just because of the scheduling spot that favors them

598
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,799
against Minnesota. The problem for me with the Jazz is

599
00:32:13,839 --> 00:32:17,720
here's their last five game outputs offensively ninety six, one

600
00:32:17,759 --> 00:32:20,440
oh three, one oh five, one oh three, ninety seven.

601
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,960
What I used to depend on with Utah, especially at

602
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:28,440
home today or tonight, was the fact that they could

603
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,319
score enough to keep me within striking distance. Anthony Edwards

604
00:32:32,359 --> 00:32:35,400
wasn't really pushed to the limit last night because the

605
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,319
game was a blowout played less than thirty minutes. I

606
00:32:38,359 --> 00:32:42,240
don't know if you know, Minnesota's looking to just keep

607
00:32:42,319 --> 00:32:45,559
rolling here there on back to back blowouts. You talked

608
00:32:45,599 --> 00:32:48,119
about the Jazz game last night. They won by twenty seven,

609
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:53,440
really easy against Sacramento. So the situation, much like the

610
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:58,160
Wizards right ski, The situation screams to the Utah side.

611
00:32:59,759 --> 00:33:02,480
But to play on the floor doesn't indicate Utah at

612
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,440
all because I don't trust them scoring right now. If

613
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:10,400
I knew they were that team that averages one nineteen,

614
00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:12,839
one twenty at home like they were to start the

615
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,680
season throughout last season, I could get there with them.

616
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,200
But they just are not. They're not shooting well. It

617
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:25,039
doesn't even look like they have any true option other

618
00:33:25,079 --> 00:33:29,079
than marketing on the floor right now. So they've played

619
00:33:29,079 --> 00:33:33,799
four unders in their last five games. Team total has

620
00:33:33,839 --> 00:33:36,799
been under five straight. I don't know. In Minnesota could

621
00:33:36,839 --> 00:33:40,680
almost win this game by mistake, or by eight points

622
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,960
by mistake. So I have to lay off because you know,

623
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,480
my situational angles all tell me a bit Utah. But

624
00:33:47,519 --> 00:33:49,680
then when I look at the game from a fundamental standpoint,

625
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:50,559
I just can't do it.

626
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 2: You talked about lack of scoring, right, I mean, I

627
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,640
think a lot of that just they're on a bad

628
00:34:01,799 --> 00:34:06,319
long road trip. At home, they were scoring one hundred

629
00:34:06,319 --> 00:34:08,079
and thirty three points per game at the house so

630
00:34:08,119 --> 00:34:11,440
far this season. Now they come back home t Wolves

631
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,880
on his back to back going into elevation. I don't know, Rovino.

632
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,079
I could see that defense lacking on the will side,

633
00:34:18,119 --> 00:34:20,320
knowing they just beat this team by forty I can

634
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,559
see the Jazz scoring the night.

635
00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 1: I will be on the Utah Jazz. I like the

636
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:25,880
Utah Jazz.

637
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 3: And that game where they went by forty two real quick.

638
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,440
Ski did go over this total. I believe even though

639
00:34:33,519 --> 00:34:38,239
Utah didn't contribute, it still got over one last thing

640
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,639
before we close this one out. I will just jump

641
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,280
on what you said. Walker Kessler is a big miss

642
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:50,400
for this team. His rebounding, his ability to get out

643
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,039
and run. So we'll see the first two games of

644
00:34:53,039 --> 00:34:55,519
that long road trip where Phoenix and Charlotte not known

645
00:34:55,559 --> 00:34:58,679
as defensive stalwarts, and they only got ninety six and

646
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,719
one oh three. I'm just a little mind. I guess

647
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,880
you're a little more bullish on the Utah offense than me. Tonight.

648
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,159
Speaker 2: But we'll see a couple of people in the chat.

649
00:35:08,199 --> 00:35:10,639
Steve asking if I'll be rocking with Jay this year,

650
00:35:11,079 --> 00:35:14,119
jam Van don Dan asking if I'll be doing anything

651
00:35:14,159 --> 00:35:18,000
with Sauce. I mean, I don't even think Sauce has

652
00:35:18,039 --> 00:35:20,960
been doing the regular NBA thing, but I'm sure at

653
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,719
some point, you know, we'll link, we'll talk about some stuff.

654
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,039
Speaker 1: Sauce likes baseball.

655
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 2: Sauce likes football right now, and he's in the college

656
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,760
sports right now. He's not really thinking about the NBA

657
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,920
too much. It's on the back burner. So when maybe

658
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,559
football is winding down, he'll probably want to talk some

659
00:35:36,559 --> 00:35:39,000
more basketball, and for j let me feel a little

660
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,920
bit better, and then maybe I'll start doing a little

661
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:47,679
bit more shows. All right, next game, last game, you

662
00:35:47,679 --> 00:35:52,760
know in the NBA, Hawks and Clippers opened up.

663
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: Clippers minus four and a half. I see between four

664
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,119
and a half and five and a half.

665
00:35:58,519 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 2: We'll call it five up in two twenty four and

666
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,519
a half down as low ass to twenty and a.

667
00:36:03,519 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: Half for the Hawks. Looks like ni Kid.

668
00:36:09,599 --> 00:36:11,639
Speaker 2: I mean, it just has his name here. It doesn't

669
00:36:11,679 --> 00:36:14,239
say anything next to it. It says na kill Alexander Walker.

670
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:19,280
So I'm assuming he's questionable for this game. Yeah, now

671
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,840
put the questionable there. He's questionable. Jalon Johnson also questionable.

672
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:29,159
We know Trey Young still, we know that for the Clippers,

673
00:36:29,199 --> 00:36:33,440
Bradley Bill questionable, Miller questionable, and Kawhi out. They look

674
00:36:33,519 --> 00:36:36,880
really bad without Kawhi in general. And I mean, you

675
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,719
know how I feel these the old guys with the tennis.

676
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: Balls and the Walkers.

677
00:36:41,079 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 2: I just don't really like this Clippers team. At some

678
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,079
point they are going to start winning games, but it's

679
00:36:50,119 --> 00:36:51,800
just one of those teams I don't trust. It's a

680
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,320
third game in for an ice for the Hawks. They

681
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:54,880
are coming off of winn as a dog they could

682
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,079
let down. I mean, it is a bounce back spot

683
00:36:58,079 --> 00:37:01,679
for the Clippers. They haven't covered it, and who knows

684
00:37:01,679 --> 00:37:04,960
when they haven't covered in five games at least. This

685
00:37:05,159 --> 00:37:07,360
is This is tough for me, Rob, you know, it's

686
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,039
hard for me to lay with the Clippers the way

687
00:37:09,039 --> 00:37:09,920
that they've looked lately.

688
00:37:10,199 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: How do you see this one?

689
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 3: They're one in eight against the spread, and how could

690
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,039
they take anybody's money right now? They're just not good.

691
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,559
I mean we laughed about it in the beginning, Ski right,

692
00:37:20,559 --> 00:37:23,480
it was kind of half truth but half joke, the

693
00:37:23,519 --> 00:37:26,239
Walkers and the tennis balls. But they're playing like the

694
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,320
Walkers and the tennis balls. I mean, every team that

695
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,000
comes at them with pace has their way. You lose

696
00:37:33,079 --> 00:37:36,480
back to backs against Phoenix and you only score one

697
00:37:36,519 --> 00:37:40,159
oh two and one oh three in those games. That's problematic.

698
00:37:41,079 --> 00:37:43,760
They lost at home by thirteen, they lost on the

699
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:49,119
road by eleven. You're probably right. At some point they

700
00:37:49,599 --> 00:37:52,880
likely will start winning games. There's enough talent there to

701
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:57,519
do so. But until we see it, it's really hard

702
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,719
to play them. Now. The other side of that coin

703
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,119
is Atlanta off a Friday night game, fly to the

704
00:38:02,159 --> 00:38:05,039
West Coast. Play this as an opener, but Atlanta might

705
00:38:05,079 --> 00:38:06,840
have a little bit of juice to them right now.

706
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,320
They've won two out of three without Trey, and they've

707
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,159
won those two of those. Are those two games in

708
00:38:12,199 --> 00:38:17,280
pretty convincing fashion, scoring over one twenty, winning by double digits.

709
00:38:18,079 --> 00:38:21,000
You know, my notes here on this game said see

710
00:38:21,039 --> 00:38:24,840
the result and then counter punching the Sacramento game. Atlanta

711
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,920
plays Sacramento on the second game of this road trip

712
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,480
a couple of days from now, so kind of see

713
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,920
what happens here. And then maybe make a play on

714
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,920
the Sacramento game. But I want no part of the

715
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,239
Clippers at this point in time.

716
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 2: All Right, we agree on that. All Right, we're gonna

717
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,719
talk a little bit of Monday Night football Ravino, but

718
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,039
before we do some stuff in the chat that I

719
00:38:46,039 --> 00:38:54,840
want to address. A couple guys, say tray Von Jackson says,

720
00:38:55,039 --> 00:39:02,559
I can't trust Tylou and his gambling habits. The poker game,

721
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:08,440
Mal says, tylerust oss bookie some bread. It's a Tyler's

722
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,199
gonna be played Brook Lopez for thirty minutes. He'll sit

723
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:16,719
the start of five after halftime. Hey man, you know,

724
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,400
so I don't remember what it was, but I went

725
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,880
on wager Talk today and I haven't been on there

726
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,920
in a long time, so it was obviously a while

727
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:31,079
ago and pres was the host, and somehow, some way,

728
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,079
I think it was a question from the chat but

729
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,840
what it started being asking about, like it's sports rigged

730
00:39:40,159 --> 00:39:44,679
or sports manipulated or whatever the case may be. And

731
00:39:45,119 --> 00:39:50,239
my answer was not every game, but absolutely some games are.

732
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,679
And they did not like to hear that on that show.

733
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,840
I understand, you know, you might not want to hear it.

734
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:59,880
But here we are Robino. We're seeing it everywhere NBA players,

735
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,199
MLB players. I'm sure they're doing it at football too.

736
00:40:03,599 --> 00:40:07,559
So sometimes you got to find that fix man. When

737
00:40:07,599 --> 00:40:12,400
you hear me say I've seen this before, sometimes that

738
00:40:12,519 --> 00:40:13,639
might be one of those moments.

739
00:40:15,519 --> 00:40:18,599
Speaker 3: It's it's funny you say that, because yesterday on the

740
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,079
NFL in game show end Zone Live, that Wager Talkers

741
00:40:22,079 --> 00:40:24,480
had this show I'm on Teddy was hosting rather than

742
00:40:24,519 --> 00:40:29,480
pres yesterday and somebody came in the comments section because

743
00:40:29,519 --> 00:40:33,039
the fourth quarter games start to go wild in the NFL,

744
00:40:33,119 --> 00:40:37,599
and somebody came in the chat and said, these games scripted,

745
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:45,079
and Teddy went bonkers. You know, Teddy can get a

746
00:40:45,119 --> 00:40:49,440
little animated. Right at his point was if they're scripted,

747
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,400
what are you doing talking to us right now? You

748
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,039
should know the script and you should be rich. Maybe

749
00:40:56,079 --> 00:40:57,840
you should tell me what the script is so I

750
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,440
can get in on it too. And I just I

751
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,440
think it's much more. There were a couple points in

752
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:10,119
that show where topics were brought up where the NBA

753
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,400
seems to be the place where it happens more like

754
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,199
like I was saying, just that, you know, in the NBA,

755
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,840
when we do shows together. We talk about not games

756
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,079
being fixed, but hey, let's be aware of where Scott

757
00:41:23,079 --> 00:41:23,800
Foster is.

758
00:41:24,159 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: Let's be aware of certainly you know what I mean

759
00:41:26,039 --> 00:41:29,719
it is, and you know.

760
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,519
Speaker 3: Stuff like that. So I don't know, you know, the

761
00:41:32,559 --> 00:41:36,440
baseball players. Somebody was saying, I don't know how you

762
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,519
get four hundred and fifty k down on a first

763
00:41:38,519 --> 00:41:41,760
pitch prop and they were parlaying that thing and whatnot.

764
00:41:42,119 --> 00:41:44,559
But to the credit, I'll just make this last side point,

765
00:41:44,599 --> 00:41:47,559
Emanuel Clause. One of the guys, are the guy really

766
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,800
in that given away ball one as a closer walk

767
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,880
out in the mound, close the game out, giveaway ball

768
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,599
one and still be one of the three best closures

769
00:41:56,639 --> 00:41:59,519
in the league. That dude wasn't fixing outcomes. He was

770
00:41:59,599 --> 00:42:02,480
just making You're like, hey, I'll spot you bag one

771
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,679
and I'm still good to get you outs. It doesn't matter.

772
00:42:06,039 --> 00:42:09,320
Kind of crazy, but yeah, to your point, we do

773
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,800
look at stuff in the NBA. I think a little

774
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,519
harder where that's concerned than we do the NFL.

775
00:42:15,119 --> 00:42:18,199
Speaker 2: One thousand percent tomorrow now says I'm gonna join a

776
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,159
teddy streamer, say these games are scripted.

777
00:42:20,679 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, or you'll get some pushback. There's no question.

778
00:42:27,199 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't even laugh. I'm dying here.

779
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you one more thing before we move

780
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,320
on to some more actionable stuff. We're seeing it a

781
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:41,360
lot right now, these player props, especially the popular ones.

782
00:42:42,039 --> 00:42:45,159
You'll see them taking away the stats. Like you'll see

783
00:42:45,199 --> 00:42:46,880
a guy go get it assists. Next thing you look

784
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,880
at it is back down to two assists he just

785
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,360
had three, or they crediting the rebound, or somebody else

786
00:42:52,599 --> 00:42:55,679
not giving somebody else a rebound. It's been happening all

787
00:42:55,679 --> 00:42:59,360
season long, and now guys are fed up. Guys are

788
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,199
on Twitter at in the NBA calling them out, and

789
00:43:03,519 --> 00:43:06,639
the NBA is having to respond because everybody's talking about it,

790
00:43:06,679 --> 00:43:09,880
they're having to change the stats. So pay attention, man,

791
00:43:10,559 --> 00:43:12,719
that's all I'm gonna say.

792
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,039
Speaker 1: All right, NFL, what do we have here?

793
00:43:17,079 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 2: I don't think I I didn't put the banner up,

794
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:22,880
So oh, there we go, Eagles Packers.

795
00:43:24,119 --> 00:43:25,599
Speaker 1: This one opened at three.

796
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,519
Speaker 2: For the Packers, came down to I mean, it's a

797
00:43:29,519 --> 00:43:33,559
pick them at a couple of shops now minus one

798
00:43:34,119 --> 00:43:36,119
without really any Jews, So yeah, it really it's a

799
00:43:36,159 --> 00:43:39,840
pick them now. Total open forty four and a half.

800
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:48,039
We'll call consensus forty five. Right now, I'm touring a

801
00:43:48,079 --> 00:43:50,480
little bit, you know, my initial thought on this game,

802
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:55,440
Like I'm when I'm looking at week ten on Wednesday

803
00:43:55,519 --> 00:43:58,079
or whatever to whatever, I'm thinking.

804
00:43:59,599 --> 00:44:00,079
Speaker 1: The pack.

805
00:44:03,119 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 2: I'm thinking the Eagles off of a bye, right, I'm

806
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,159
thinking that I might want to back the Eagles off

807
00:44:07,199 --> 00:44:10,039
of a bye, but I don't trust the Eagles defense

808
00:44:10,039 --> 00:44:12,840
as much as I trust the Packers defense. And then,

809
00:44:14,039 --> 00:44:16,599
you know, I started to think about Tucker Kraft getting

810
00:44:16,639 --> 00:44:18,719
hurt and what that could mean for the Packers' offense

811
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:24,079
because he's a big part of their offense. It's man,

812
00:44:24,159 --> 00:44:26,440
I've been going back and forth. I think the Packers

813
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:30,760
pass defense is solid, but Eagles have Saquan.

814
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,039
Speaker 1: This is this is a really really tough game for me.

815
00:44:37,119 --> 00:44:37,519
I don't know.

816
00:44:37,679 --> 00:44:40,159
Speaker 2: I'm an pass it to you. You're the Philadelphia area guy.

817
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,360
What are you thinking about Eagles and Packers right now?

818
00:44:44,199 --> 00:44:46,079
Speaker 3: Well, I'll give you one thing that has nothing to

819
00:44:46,119 --> 00:44:47,440
do with the people that are going to be on

820
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,519
the field as far as matchups are concerned. Philly's bitter,

821
00:44:52,119 --> 00:44:56,840
and I mean really bitter about Green Bay being the

822
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:01,239
one team that voted against the tush push, and so

823
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,519
in this area it's a big deal. And Matt Lafleur,

824
00:45:04,679 --> 00:45:08,360
the coach at Green Bay, had a press conference during

825
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,599
the week at some point whatever the coach's day for

826
00:45:10,639 --> 00:45:13,719
press conferences is, and a Philly Beat writer and flat

827
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:15,599
out asked him about it, and he didn't want to answer.

828
00:45:16,159 --> 00:45:19,679
He didn't want to take responsibility for his management voting

829
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,800
against Philadelphia ever being able to run that play. And

830
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:27,079
you know, jokingly around this area Philly sports media, we

831
00:45:27,119 --> 00:45:31,199
should run it twenty five times, right up green Bay's ass,

832
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,599
so to speak. You know, they won't run it twenty

833
00:45:33,599 --> 00:45:35,320
five times, but you get the point. They're a little

834
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,880
bit bitter that green Bay tried to get rid of

835
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,920
this play. I don't know how that affects anything here.

836
00:45:43,519 --> 00:45:45,440
I think Philly is going to be totally motivated. As

837
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:49,119
you mentioned, Nick Sirianni is a perfect four and oh

838
00:45:49,639 --> 00:45:52,920
off a bye week with this team. And to the

839
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,960
point about defense, I give Howie Roseman the GM a

840
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,480
ton of credit. Trade deadline came, what did he do?

841
00:45:58,679 --> 00:46:00,960
He went out and got Jalen Philip from Miami, their

842
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:05,239
best pass rusher, to put alongside the pass rusher on

843
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,559
the other side for Green Bay. For Philly, the Georgia

844
00:46:07,639 --> 00:46:10,920
kid Nolan Smith, and he went out and got Jaii

845
00:46:11,039 --> 00:46:14,639
Alexander to play corner because their corners were getting exposed.

846
00:46:15,559 --> 00:46:18,159
And I don't know how much of the Green Bay

847
00:46:18,159 --> 00:46:22,239
playbook Jaier Alexander remembers or still knows, but it was

848
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,559
the same coaching staff when he played over there, so

849
00:46:24,599 --> 00:46:27,320
maybe there's a little something there. Those are all exterior factors.

850
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,079
I think Philadelphia is the right side here. I agree

851
00:46:30,079 --> 00:46:32,000
with the money. I just think they're the better team

852
00:46:32,039 --> 00:46:34,880
at this point in time. As you said earlier, Saquan's

853
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,159
gotten going because the offensive line got a little bit

854
00:46:38,199 --> 00:46:41,199
healthier and they started opening up holes for him. Again,

855
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,039
I think during the bye week, you get two weeks

856
00:46:44,079 --> 00:46:47,920
to prepare for a team, it's pretty good chance you're

857
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:49,719
going to be ready for them. The venue might be

858
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,920
a little bit scary Monday night in Green Bay, but

859
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,360
Philly seems venue proof to me. So I looked towards

860
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,320
the Eagles to win this game. I took a money

861
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,719
line because it was a better price and taking one

862
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,239
and a half points, and I figured they'll win the

863
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,679
game out right, at least in my mind. So That's

864
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:07,960
where I'm Matt. I think Philadelphia right at this point

865
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,840
in time is trying to make every move possible. Oh

866
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,960
one last thing, skey. They're very familiar with blocking Micah Parsons.

867
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,639
They had to do it twice a year when he

868
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,719
was on Dallas every single year. So Micah Parsons is

869
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,239
not the scary thing that other teams view him to be.

870
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:25,079
To Philadelphia, they have ways to keep him off. Jalen

871
00:47:25,159 --> 00:47:27,519
hurts his back, So I like the Eagles.

872
00:47:27,119 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 2: Here, all right, Vino liking the Eagles did have somebody

873
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,280
mentioned that hurts his thrown interception every.

874
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:36,280
Speaker 1: Monday night football game.

875
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,599
Speaker 2: I think it was back to twenty twenty that they said,

876
00:47:38,679 --> 00:47:43,280
So some good information there. Yeah, I need a little

877
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,400
bit more time with this Eagles in Green Bay game,

878
00:47:45,519 --> 00:47:49,440
so it might be one that I tweet out. Definitely

879
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:53,559
if I play, it'll be closer to kickoff. So, Vino,

880
00:47:54,159 --> 00:47:56,199
I think we did a pretty solid job trying to

881
00:47:56,199 --> 00:48:01,599
wrap it up before we do the best. I don't

882
00:48:01,599 --> 00:48:04,760
even know that do we still.

883
00:48:04,519 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 3: Have a I was just gonna say, I don't, I

884
00:48:07,519 --> 00:48:07,880
don't know.

885
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: What we don't even know. I don't even know we're

886
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,039
gonna do it the o G way. We'll put this

887
00:48:13,119 --> 00:48:13,480
up here.

888
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:15,519
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask you if there's anything you want to

889
00:48:15,519 --> 00:48:18,559
promote personally and if you have a best bet for

890
00:48:18,599 --> 00:48:19,639
the show, we love to hear it.

891
00:48:20,079 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 1: And if you don't, it's okay.

892
00:48:24,159 --> 00:48:28,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're promotional stuff is concerned. I'll just say really quick,

893
00:48:28,199 --> 00:48:31,400
anybody who's interested in selection packages on my on my

894
00:48:31,599 --> 00:48:34,719
end number one in the NFL at Wager Talk, and

895
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,719
seven and three college basketball to start the season first

896
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,320
ten seventy so we're up to a good run in

897
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:44,559
college basketball. If you're a fan of college basketball, tune

898
00:48:44,599 --> 00:48:48,239
in either live at ten am each and every morning

899
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,760
for the college basketball show called Full Court Press on

900
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:56,920
Wager Talk, myself, Brian Power, Adam Trigger and Interesting. As

901
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,480
part of that show, we all give out one leg

902
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,000
of a we give out one best bet, so to speak,

903
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,360
and we combine it into a three team parlay or

904
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:09,159
three leg parlay. We won three of the first five days,

905
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,079
so re winning parlays in five days and we almost

906
00:49:12,079 --> 00:49:14,800
had a fourth on Friday. So for those interested, as

907
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:18,320
I say, it's ten am Eastern, seven o'clock am Pacific,

908
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,719
or you can catch it on the rewatch at any

909
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,880
time on wager Talk TV. Now let's get to what

910
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,519
we're talking about tonight, and I think my favorite play

911
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:32,480
of all tonight's ski was probably san Antonio. I got

912
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,880
it at a better price than what's being offered now.

913
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,440
So I'll come off of that here for best bet

914
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,480
purposes and I'll ride with the Lakers minus eight and

915
00:49:40,519 --> 00:49:43,280
a half. I think the Lakers JJ Reddick. Again, I'm

916
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,599
handicapping the coach. I could be wrong, but I don't

917
00:49:45,599 --> 00:49:48,360
think JJ Reddick is one of those guys who is

918
00:49:50,039 --> 00:49:52,679
full of bs so to speak. I mean, when he

919
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,039
reacts the way he reacted Friday, it's kind of out

920
00:49:55,039 --> 00:49:57,440
a character. He was upset. I think the team will respond.

921
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,800
Charlotte's in dire straits here as far as personnel and

922
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,559
defensive ability. So best BET's gonna be the Lakers minus

923
00:50:04,599 --> 00:50:05,519
eight and a half tonight.

924
00:50:06,599 --> 00:50:11,039
Speaker 2: Good stuff for me promo wise, all I'm gonna say is,

925
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,519
you know I've hit ten in my last fifteen in

926
00:50:13,519 --> 00:50:16,159
the NBA, ten and three on the NFL props this season,

927
00:50:18,079 --> 00:50:20,679
and I'm gonna be getting involved today. Even if you

928
00:50:20,679 --> 00:50:22,920
don't see something on my page, I will have action.

929
00:50:23,079 --> 00:50:24,760
So it'll be one of those where you should get

930
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:26,519
a day pass or a week pass or a three

931
00:50:26,559 --> 00:50:28,880
day or if you want to be involved, that's the

932
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,960
way to do it with me right now, my best

933
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,599
bet for the show, I'm gonna go back to the Cavaliers,

934
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,280
and you know I'm seeing seven and a half minus

935
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,079
well fifteen, but I can get a six and a

936
00:50:39,119 --> 00:50:41,480
half minus one twenty. I'll just take the I'll pay

937
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:42,719
an extra five cents for the six.

938
00:50:42,679 --> 00:50:43,199
Speaker 1: And a half.

939
00:50:44,639 --> 00:50:45,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like the Cavs.

940
00:50:45,599 --> 00:50:45,800
Speaker 1: Man.

941
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 2: They dominated Miami all last year. Like I said that

942
00:50:49,079 --> 00:50:52,719
only one game they didn't cover this margin. They protect

943
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,800
the paint with the trees down there, no bam out

944
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,159
of bio. They're gonna struggle to rebound even more than

945
00:50:58,199 --> 00:51:01,079
they already have been lately. It's a lot of different

946
00:51:01,119 --> 00:51:03,840
things that line up for me here Calves Mius to

947
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,639
six and a half. Honestly, think they win by ten plus.

948
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,480
That would be my best bet for the show. You know,

949
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,840
I've always enjoy breaking down the games with you. Appreciate

950
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,719
you taking their time to capping with me. Everybody in

951
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:18,960
the chat, Thank you guys for putting in. If you

952
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,239
get the like button, it helps out the show. And yeah,

953
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,119
just appreciate you guys. Like I always say, y'all are

954
00:51:25,159 --> 00:51:28,119
good cappers out there, good people out there, and we're

955
00:51:28,119 --> 00:51:30,039
all doing the same thing. We're all just trying to

956
00:51:30,039 --> 00:51:32,880
help each other win. So best of luck everybody today

957
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,159
on all your action. We'll be back again tomorrow
