1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome into another episode of Prophet Picks.

2
00:00:04,599 --> 00:00:06,839
If you are new, we always start to show by

3
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:12,160
being transparent. Yesterday I went too and two. Let's see,

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,519
I had jk which is KAMINGA over five and a

5
00:00:16,559 --> 00:00:20,600
half rebounds. That was just ridiculous. Like Steve Kirk, he

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,079
starts off the game with two rebounds to assist like

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,519
in the first couple of minutes. Then he gets taken

8
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:28,839
out for like twelve straight minutes, and then he puts

9
00:00:28,879 --> 00:00:31,000
them back in with like the brain dead people who

10
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,159
can't do nothing, like you can't put Comena next to

11
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,799
Pods and Spencer to get like what are you doing?

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,119
And then he just takes him out at the end

13
00:00:38,119 --> 00:00:40,960
of the game. So Steve Kurt doesn't like KAMINGA. That's

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,320
probably just a bad bet because of that. And Jalen

15
00:00:44,359 --> 00:00:47,799
Johnson was the other loser. He was, uh, you know,

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,320
decided he didn't want to do anything yesterday. As far

17
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,920
as rebounding the two winners, I honestly cannot remember, but

18
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,479
it was a Juice two and two day veno. Hopefully

19
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,960
yesterday was better for you. How you doing today?

20
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: I'm all right, Ski NBA was no better for me

21
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,280
a bad read down. Orlando thought maybe the defense was

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,560
playing better. It was not. Atlanta had them wired to wire,

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,040
so there was nothing good happening there nor in the

24
00:01:20,519 --> 00:01:22,680
In the same game you just mentioned Golden State, I

25
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,120
had the total over two twenty five is where they

26
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,920
landed to thirty three is what I needed. Fourth quarter

27
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,120
slowed up a little bit, only got fifty points combined.

28
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:35,079
But again, these last couple of days have been a

29
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:39,760
rough stretch Monday Tuesday so far, So hopefully today snap

30
00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:42,560
out of it a little bit and get back onto

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,319
the winning column.

32
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. The two winners I just looked it was Giddy

33
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:49,239
over his rebounds and assists that was fairly easy, and

34
00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:53,200
the Pelicans to win. That was the two winners for yesterday.

35
00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:56,159
Shout out to everybody in the chat. We appreciate you

36
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,599
tapping in. Anthony says, hello, Will House everyone. I felt

37
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,040
terrible and I think you can hear it in my voice,

38
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,760
and uh yeah, so I'm gonna do my best to

39
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,240
get through this. And Guppy says, got a live fee,

40
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,479
he's happy, he's ready for some winners. If it's your

41
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,280
first time, anybody out there watching the show today will

42
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:18,159
be a little bit different, just because, like I said,

43
00:02:18,159 --> 00:02:20,039
I don't feel so great. So we won't touch every

44
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,400
single game, but we will get through a good amount,

45
00:02:24,759 --> 00:02:27,520
all right, you know, let's get through it. First game

46
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,919
five thirteen, five fourteen, Philly and Cleveland opened up nine

47
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,599
and a half for Cleveland looks like ten. So it

48
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,800
opens two thirty three and a half looks like two

49
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:44,680
thirty five and a half. Garland Hunter, Alan Merrow all questionable,

50
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:48,879
strus out for the Sixers, McCain, George and b Barlow

51
00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:52,879
all out. I would I mean, I know the Sixers

52
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:55,360
just played, but I'll be a little hesitant, you know,

53
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,840
laying the big number with you know, Garland's coming back

54
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,960
in this first game. Also, well you could be missing

55
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,960
all of these guys and I would still be hesitant

56
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,280
with that big number. So Sixers are past? What do

57
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:06,879
you think we know?

58
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to lean on the same team, but

59
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,199
in a different way. Ski. I think if Philly, for

60
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,360
what it's worth, is like the third or fourth most

61
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,719
efficient offense in the NBA right now. Without Embiid out

62
00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:24,840
there tonight, McCain doesn't matter. McCain hasn't played much, but

63
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,000
it's the core we talked about yesterday. I like when

64
00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:31,759
Adam Bone is on the floor for Philadelphia, his energy

65
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:35,280
level is about one hundred times what Joel embiids is.

66
00:03:35,919 --> 00:03:38,039
So I thought one twelve and a half team total

67
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,159
was a little low here. Cleveland hasn't really shown defensive

68
00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:44,680
capability this season. Philly, all they do is score and run,

69
00:03:45,039 --> 00:03:48,360
even on back to backs. I think these the sixers

70
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,439
that'll be present tonight on the floor. We'll get up

71
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:53,719
and down. We'll see what Cleveland brings to the table.

72
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:57,000
Like you say, the injury report when we get it later.

73
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,800
That's that's four key guys right there for Cleveland. But

74
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:03,719
for me, it's gonna be Philadelphia. I'm zeroing in on

75
00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:05,599
their team total one twelve and a half.

76
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,639
Speaker 1: Over, You're not worried about them being on the back

77
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,560
to back as far as like just looking at them specifically,

78
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:12,639
not including the Cavs.

79
00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm really not, only because I've seen these

80
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,199
guys just go, go go. They've been in a back

81
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,000
to back already this year. I don't see a lack

82
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,199
of energy in Philadelphia. Ski with Edgecomb and Maxie and

83
00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:29,199
Ubra and like I say, Bona on the floor is

84
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,519
even a bigger bonus. He'll start tonight in all likelihood

85
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,120
with them beat out, So I'm going to go that route.

86
00:04:37,079 --> 00:04:38,639
Speaker 1: All right. There is a lot of young guys over

87
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,079
there in Philly, so maybe it won't affect them as

88
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:45,399
much as you know, some other guys. Jazz and Pistons

89
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,160
not a whole lot of moving on the side of total.

90
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,040
Kesler remains out. No Sasser, no Harris, no Ivy. I

91
00:04:54,079 --> 00:04:56,839
feel like, I mean, the Jazz have been pretty scrappy.

92
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,920
They're still catching ten points here Detroit. I mean, are

93
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,839
they taking that next step up? They're five and two

94
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,480
to start this year. I love Kay Cunningham as a

95
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,000
player nine and a half. Like, I don't know when

96
00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:13,360
the last time we saw Pistons minus nine and a half.

97
00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:15,600
This just stands out to me. Makes me think that,

98
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,639
you know, they'll run them off the court at home here,

99
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:18,480
Any thoughts from you?

100
00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 2: Long road trip for the Jazz, right, They've been on

101
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,759
the road for a while now. We'll see if they

102
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,439
wear down. The other night, the shooting was horrendous against Boston.

103
00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:34,439
Their three point shooting was terrible. Boston's was terrible as well,

104
00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:37,160
but that whole offensive performance out of Utah a little

105
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,920
bit uncharacteristic. I don't know if it's a product of

106
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,639
not having everybody on the floor or not, but Detroit

107
00:05:47,439 --> 00:05:49,600
is in that sit probably a little bit better, I

108
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,480
would say, than Boston defensively when they want to be

109
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,600
second game out of Mexico City. Detroit played pretty well

110
00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:58,480
the other night. I'm with you. I don't know that

111
00:05:58,519 --> 00:06:00,240
i'd want to lay nine and a half, but I

112
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,199
did look toward total here at two thirty two. Didn't

113
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:05,560
play it, but I was looking for a bounce back

114
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,759
out of Utah, and Utah defensively has been an absolute sieve.

115
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,680
I mean, the only reason Boston scored as few as

116
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,560
they scored the other night is because I think they

117
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,000
were It's summer in the vicinity of eleven for fifty

118
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,000
one from three point range. Jalen Brown, I know, was

119
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,720
oh for nine and he's still at thirty six going

120
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:28,279
oh for nine from three. So Utah doesn't defend. Could

121
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:30,600
be just one of those up and down playground styles.

122
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,560
I could look over Ski, but like I said, I

123
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:34,319
haven't bet it yet.

124
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,959
Speaker 1: Bad over Pistons, k props. I can see any of

125
00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:45,720
those dropping. Don says Jazz. I have not broke one

126
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,639
o three in any of their road games. He likes

127
00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:51,480
their team total under tonight. Good stuff. Next up Wizards

128
00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:53,839
and Celtics, and they go up to twelve and a

129
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,160
half from eleven, and the total went up about three points.

130
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,759
I'm seeing two thirty three thirty three and a half Celtics.

131
00:07:02,079 --> 00:07:05,160
I mean, I feel like they should be embarrassed. I mean,

132
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,079
we know they're missing a lot from last year, but

133
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:11,600
still that was that was pretty embarrassing last game. Washington

134
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,560
will be without Middleton, and Washington hasn't been looking great lately.

135
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:20,240
One person I trust for Washington Kyshawn George, especially with

136
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,319
Middleton out. His point prop was thirteen and a half

137
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:26,199
this morning. I'm almost certain that's gone up fourteen and

138
00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:29,199
a half. Like he's getting fifty. He averages a little

139
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:33,120
bit over seventeen. He's getting fifteen, you know, every single night,

140
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,920
as long as he doesn't get in foul trouble or

141
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,839
file out. Even when he does get in foul trouble,

142
00:07:36,879 --> 00:07:38,920
he still makes it a lot of times. But all

143
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,240
I'm saying is he'll have a lot of opportunity without

144
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,800
Middleton on the court. Boston not the best defensive team.

145
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,160
I think he can get fourteen to fifteen points. So

146
00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:49,759
Kishawn George over on his point prop for me, what

147
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:50,439
do you think? You know?

148
00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they'll score, you know, like I I'll

149
00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:56,240
just take what I said earlier and apply it here.

150
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,839
Boston eleven for fifty one, twenty one point six percent

151
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,439
from three. Not great for the Celtics. I would expect

152
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,839
to bounce back here against this defense of the Wizards,

153
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,639
fifth worst in the league in defensive efficiency. Yet they're

154
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,040
this second fastest pace. This game is going to go

155
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,319
up and down. I'll go back to what you said

156
00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:18,720
about Jalen Brown, thinking he's on a track team more

157
00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:21,240
than a basketball team. This game should have plenty of

158
00:08:21,279 --> 00:08:22,639
opportunity to score.

159
00:08:23,079 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: I gotta stop you right there, you know, go ahead,

160
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,319
I got to stop you. Jaylon Brown is a liar, bro.

161
00:08:29,399 --> 00:08:30,920
I don't know what the hell he was talking about.

162
00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:32,879
They're not running. They're playing at the slowest pace in

163
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:36,120
the league. Whatever he said, throw it out the window

164
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:36,320
to me.

165
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: I got him here pace twelve, but it is slow.

166
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm mistaken. That's my bad. But I don't know.

167
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:50,679
Maybe I don't know what I saw.

168
00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:53,399
Speaker 2: My bad. Jalalen Brown, You're a damn.

169
00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:57,279
Speaker 1: No, I have the Celtics at twenty eighth for pace

170
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:57,919
twenty eight.

171
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:06,039
Speaker 2: That's how do I have them twelve? Okay, I don't know.

172
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,879
This one goes by possessions per game. Maybe we're going

173
00:09:08,919 --> 00:09:12,600
off different figures, but we'll straighten it out. But let's

174
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,720
just say there for sake being their their bottom bottom tier.

175
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:23,240
The Knicks are also bottom tier and he lying about

176
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:29,399
his hair. Gotta love the chat. The Knicks are bottom

177
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,200
four in paces. Well, they got one nineteen the other

178
00:09:32,279 --> 00:09:34,559
night against this team, So for me, Boston shoots a

179
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,840
little bit better than eleven fifty one. It's interesting to

180
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,879
watch these guys Sky Peyton Pritchard. Here's something that entered

181
00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:42,159
my mind. These guys like Peyton Pritchard and Sam Hauser

182
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,639
that came off the bench and shot threes as role players,

183
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,200
now thrown into extra minutes roles not really shooting as

184
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,879
well as they had. It might be an adjustment period

185
00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:57,480
for them. Not sure, but I know Washington will push.

186
00:09:57,519 --> 00:09:59,480
They do it to everybody. Like I say, they allowed

187
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,799
to slow Nicks to get to one nineteen the other night,

188
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,159
so it could be an overplay for me over this

189
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,919
two thirty three and a half, they pushed it from

190
00:10:05,919 --> 00:10:08,399
two thirty to two thirty three and a half. A

191
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,639
little bit of a move there. We'll see if I

192
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:11,440
get to the window with.

193
00:10:11,399 --> 00:10:13,799
Speaker 1: It, I'll be rooting for you, Robi, you know. But

194
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:16,759
Jayalen Brown, you a damn lie.

195
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,279
Speaker 2: You gotta have one of those side, one of those

196
00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:21,960
drop buttons where we can press that every now and again.

197
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:27,879
Speaker 1: Le Bron down, We're all right, Let's let's keep going.

198
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,159
We gotta we got some more games here. Houston and Grizzlies.

199
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,440
Not a whole lot of movement outside or total. Let's

200
00:10:34,519 --> 00:10:40,879
check the injuries. Steven Adams, Javaris Smith Junior both questionable,

201
00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:47,080
dfs out. We know Vanvleets out. Memphis, same four guys,

202
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:54,039
Clark Adie, Jerome Pippin out. No seeing uh Adams Andrew

203
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,639
Baris Smith. You know, it does give me a little

204
00:10:56,639 --> 00:10:59,159
bit of hesitation. I mean, the Rockets that started off

205
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:02,080
a little shaky. They won four in a row, right,

206
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,799
They're supposed to be a really good defensive team, and uh,

207
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,639
I don't know. Something like my first initial thought when

208
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,799
I thought about this game was damn Grizzlies and John

209
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,879
Morant got to go against all that length, like it's

210
00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:21,200
gonna be hard getting to the paint and scoring could

211
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,960
be minus some of that length that both Adams and

212
00:11:23,039 --> 00:11:29,120
Jabari Smith don't play. And then I always say, you know,

213
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,759
to win by margin. For me, I like teams that

214
00:11:32,799 --> 00:11:35,080
can shoot the three well defend the three. I don't

215
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,679
view Houston as a good three point shooting team. So

216
00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:41,679
on the rod laying it's many points, it makes me hesitate. Now,

217
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,600
I understand a lot of people are gonna run to

218
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,559
the window and just immediately fade the Grizzlies because Grizzlies

219
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,480
haven't looked good. I don't think they've covered. They haven't

220
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:56,039
covered their last five games, that for sure. And John Morant,

221
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,039
you know, just all the drama that's going on. You

222
00:11:58,039 --> 00:11:59,600
don't know if he's gonna be out there wanting to

223
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,600
play or what. Been a lot of different opinions on him.

224
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,039
There's been some x NBA players, some Hall of famers

225
00:12:07,039 --> 00:12:09,360
talking about him, saying what he should do. I'm wondering

226
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,200
how it's gonna turn out. Man. I want to say that.

227
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,120
I mean, at some point, either it's gonna be like this,

228
00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:20,080
you know, it's gonna be like when Jimmy Butler was

229
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,799
in Miami and he's just loafing around until they finally

230
00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:26,000
trade him and keep you know, doing that route, or

231
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,840
they're gonna figure things out, and he's just gonna, you know,

232
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,759
come and show everybody that he's still that guy. I

233
00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:37,519
have a tough time thinking that it could be the night,

234
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,440
but they're at home. I don't believe in laying with Houston.

235
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,200
I wanted to try to find reasons to back to Grizzlies.

236
00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:44,960
What do you think about this game?

237
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 2: Well, I generally don't play under Ski, but I played

238
00:12:50,039 --> 00:12:52,840
it here that post game out of job the other night.

239
00:12:53,039 --> 00:12:56,200
I mean, they asked him the question, is the relationship

240
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,320
between you and management irreparable? And he said, yeah, they

241
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,200
told you that, right, So he throws everything toward management,

242
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,720
but he was not happy. You watch the game the

243
00:13:06,759 --> 00:13:08,799
other night, which was the game I wanted to see.

244
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,919
Whole offense looked disjointed. He didn't look all at engage

245
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,720
five of sixteen. His backcourt partner Jalen Wells was two

246
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,320
of fourteen. They scored one hundred and five one hundred

247
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,279
and six in that game. Honestly, I don't think he

248
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,320
wanted like you're saying, he doesn't want to be there

249
00:13:24,759 --> 00:13:26,279
when he's out on the floor. I don't think it.

250
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,960
By the looks of the other night, and by the

251
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,320
looks by the sound of his comments afterwards in the

252
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,279
locker room in that post game with the reporter, it

253
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,480
sounds like his interest level here is zero. I didn't

254
00:13:38,519 --> 00:13:41,639
play the Rockets for a couple of the reasons you mentioned,

255
00:13:41,799 --> 00:13:44,120
injuries and whatnot. But two thirty two and a half

256
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,879
just looked way too high for this game to me.

257
00:13:47,919 --> 00:13:50,320
I think it probably lands somewhere in the lower two twenties.

258
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,320
So I'm gonna get to probably the under in this

259
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,960
game and be interesting to keep an eye on what

260
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,879
goes on with Memphis here, because you know, when it

261
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,559
I tell you he can't repair the relationship between him

262
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,399
and the management, it's it's that far going. Then I

263
00:14:05,399 --> 00:14:07,240
don't want to be on that any part of that.

264
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tough, it's definitely tough. Maybe it's a wait

265
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,440
and see, but man, at some point, I mean it's hard.

266
00:14:17,639 --> 00:14:19,799
You know, in the business, we always say, you know,

267
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,840
they're not gonna the books, the market, They're not gonna

268
00:14:22,879 --> 00:14:24,799
let you beat them forever on the same thing. Like,

269
00:14:24,799 --> 00:14:26,519
like I said, the Grizzlies have been covered in forever.

270
00:14:26,559 --> 00:14:29,799
At some point they're gonna be getting too many points. Rights.

271
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,279
It's tough when you know you also got to think

272
00:14:34,279 --> 00:14:36,320
about the effort the players are gonna give in that game.

273
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,039
So it's hard. I guess I need a little bit

274
00:14:39,039 --> 00:14:44,519
more time with Memphis and Houston Pelicans and MAVs. Shout

275
00:14:44,519 --> 00:14:46,559
out to the Pelicans. Yesterday I was on them. They

276
00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:48,879
got the first win of the season, barely, but they

277
00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:51,200
got it. They saved Willie Green's job. I know he's

278
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:59,039
happy tonight. Missy and Poor are both questionable. Zone out

279
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:04,320
for the the mass lively ad x M, Kyrie all out.

280
00:15:04,679 --> 00:15:07,360
A lot missing in this one. You know, Pelicans on

281
00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:12,320
the back to back. Can't look towards the Pelicans, absolutely not.

282
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,519
And it's just you know, I was on him yesterday

283
00:15:14,519 --> 00:15:18,639
because they're finally playing a sorry team, No LaMelo, they're

284
00:15:18,679 --> 00:15:22,000
at home, desperate fer whin. They finally got that way

285
00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:24,159
and it could be satisfied now and on the back

286
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,120
to back could be missing some guys in the Mass.

287
00:15:28,039 --> 00:15:32,360
They have been They have been playing up to how

288
00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:35,879
everybody viewed. You know, this roster will perform this season

289
00:15:38,039 --> 00:15:40,159
and a lot of it, you know, probably is Jason

290
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,000
Kidd just being an idiot. I mean, he's not dumb.

291
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,480
He's a smart guy. He's a good player, good coach.

292
00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:48,200
But he's being dumb right now trying to put Cooper

293
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,919
Flag at point guard and not allowing the team to

294
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,080
thrive with a real point guard. So if you told

295
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,799
me Daniel Russell was starting tonight, I would feel a

296
00:15:57,799 --> 00:16:00,879
lot more comfortable about laying the points with them. You

297
00:16:01,039 --> 00:16:03,279
tell me Delo is starting, I'll be looking at his

298
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,120
props as well. Even without him starting, I'm interested in

299
00:16:07,159 --> 00:16:10,559
his assists at five and a half. So that's where

300
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,320
I'm at with this game. Tell me Delo starting, I

301
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,480
think his MAVs and Delo props, what do you think.

302
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,399
Speaker 2: Of You know, I played, and I played the Dallas side,

303
00:16:19,399 --> 00:16:21,000
and it's a lot of points, so I had to

304
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,840
kind of hold my nose and play it. But the

305
00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:26,159
situation screams toward Dallas. You know that game last night

306
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,559
that the Pelicans won, It's one twelve, one oh eight

307
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,799
Charlotte with a couple of minutes left. It took an

308
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,679
eight to nothing run out of the Pelicans at the

309
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:36,000
end of the game to win that thing. So they

310
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,120
were almost they were actually in danger of losing that

311
00:16:39,159 --> 00:16:45,159
game too. Before I open my mouth because I do

312
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,720
not want to quote role numbers, I show Dallas number

313
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,039
three in pace in the NBA. Where you got them?

314
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: Oh you know that does? I mean, just thinking about

315
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,120
the Dallas team, that doesn't sound right. But I'm gonna

316
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:03,200
tell you right now, my bad. I have them at

317
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,920
Dallas third. That's correct.

318
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you got the third fastest team, and I

319
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:15,680
showed New Orleans again the second slowest team. And you're

320
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,599
in a back to back, you like to play slower.

321
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,400
The other side's gonna run because they know you're in

322
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,480
back to backs. I just think that at some point

323
00:17:23,519 --> 00:17:26,160
in time Dallas can create a little bit of margin

324
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,319
here in this particular game over the course of forty

325
00:17:29,319 --> 00:17:33,720
eight minutes, and probably sustainable because New Orleans just doesn't

326
00:17:33,759 --> 00:17:36,720
have that. They showed it last night. So I won't

327
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,480
say they don't have it at all, because they showed

328
00:17:38,519 --> 00:17:40,759
come back ability last night to win that game in

329
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:42,960
the end. But like you say, that was going after

330
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,000
their first win against a team that was severely hobbled.

331
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,920
I think Dallas is the right side of here situationally, Ski,

332
00:17:49,079 --> 00:17:50,599
so minus eight and a half was one of the

333
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,720
things I played today.

334
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: I like it all right, Let's keep going. Heat and

335
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,480
Nuggets went on from eight to nine and a half.

336
00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:01,160
Total went from two thirty nine highest two forty two.

337
00:18:02,319 --> 00:18:06,559
And looking at injuries here if I can get there,

338
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:12,960
Jamal Murray, Julian Strauther both probable, Ya questionable for the Heat.

339
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:18,920
No Hero, no Roseier, Heat coming back when they're gonna

340
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,519
take them off, I'm gonna keep saying his name, though

341
00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:24,279
I don't keep the name alive. As long as they

342
00:18:24,319 --> 00:18:25,960
put them on there, I'll keep saying it just because

343
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:33,920
it's funny to me. But the Heat, this is with

344
00:18:34,039 --> 00:18:37,240
their third game in four nights. They played the Lakers,

345
00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:39,960
they played the Clippers. Now they come into elevation and

346
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:44,000
play Denver. That just doesn't seem like a good spot

347
00:18:44,079 --> 00:18:49,440
for this Heat team. Denver. I don't think of them like.

348
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:55,000
I never like them defensively really, but the pace that

349
00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:57,200
Miami likes to play, I don't know. I feel like

350
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,519
Miami is gonna be worn out in this game. It's

351
00:18:59,559 --> 00:19:03,400
just my thought up in Denver, like, I feel like

352
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,079
they can score really on anybody. So I'm leaning Nuggets here,

353
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,720
but nothing with conviction, right, now how about you.

354
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:17,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny because Miami continues to just play rapidly

355
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,359
no matter. But this is the fourth of a four

356
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,680
game road trip. Like you say, it's third and four nights.

357
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,880
It's fourth overall on the road at San Antonio, at

358
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,720
Lakers at Clippers. Not much travel there between Lakers Clippers,

359
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,880
and that back to back they scored one hundred and twenty.

360
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,920
They just seem to get their points no matter what

361
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,359
they do defensively. They may get their points here because,

362
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,960
like you said, Denver doesn't play any defense. I looked

363
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,839
immediately at their team total, but I shied away because

364
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,240
it was one sixteen and a half and I thought, well,

365
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,200
maybe they don't make one seventeen in this particular instance.

366
00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:53,519
But it's the way i'd look if I had to play,

367
00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:59,160
because Denver just seems to be fine beating teams, you know,

368
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,440
one thirty to. They don't mind giving them up as

369
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,000
long as they're scoring them. So it's just I like

370
00:20:05,039 --> 00:20:08,839
the way Miami's played throughout so far. They've stuck to

371
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,480
their guns and played this fast paced still number one

372
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,200
in tempo. If I had to play, i'd look Miami

373
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,359
team total over but I do think that numbers set

374
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,559
a little bit too high. I would have preferred something

375
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,599
like thirteen and a half. Fourteen and a half in

376
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,680
that range appears a little high.

377
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you tell me Miami is getting over the

378
00:20:26,519 --> 00:20:28,599
team total, I'm just betting the full game over because

379
00:20:28,799 --> 00:20:32,079
I think Denver's gonna score. I worry about just the

380
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,599
travel fatigue, and just travel fatigue and playing so many

381
00:20:36,599 --> 00:20:40,039
games lately. I worry Nuggets are over for me. Rob,

382
00:20:40,079 --> 00:20:46,759
you know, all right, man? Finally, last game, last game

383
00:20:47,039 --> 00:20:51,799
dying here, Spurs and Lakers opened up two and a half.

384
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,400
Still two and a half, open to thirty and a half.

385
00:20:55,559 --> 00:20:59,359
It's like to twenty seven and a half. Olynic so

386
00:20:59,559 --> 00:21:05,720
high waters all questionable. Let me just refresh this. It says, yeah, okay,

387
00:21:05,839 --> 00:21:10,400
dearon Fox, Dylan Harper, Luke Cornett out for the Lakers,

388
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:16,319
Jackson Hayes is probable, Austin Ridge is questionable. Lebron Kleva

389
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:24,519
thero Vincent out. I mean I heard Winby say, you

390
00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:27,880
know how much he respects Luca, and he doesn't think

391
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,559
he's ever one versus Luca. I also know that winby'

392
00:21:30,559 --> 00:21:32,200
is a lot better this year than he has been

393
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,759
in the past couple of years. With that said, miss

394
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,359
Dylan Harper, that's a big loss at point guard for

395
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,880
this team. Not getting Darren Fox. I know we haven't

396
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,039
seen him yet, but it's gonna be a lot on Castle.

397
00:21:44,559 --> 00:21:48,480
So I can see Castle scoring tonight. I mean, you

398
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,359
don't have the best unless it's market Smart or somebody.

399
00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:54,200
I mean Lakers defense, especially that the guard position is

400
00:21:54,279 --> 00:21:59,720
just not great, and his usage is so high without

401
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,240
Harper or without anybody else there, you know, at the

402
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,960
point guard. So Castle props I can understand. Outside of that,

403
00:22:08,079 --> 00:22:10,559
I don't know whether A Reeves plays or not. I'm

404
00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:13,519
kind of thinking that the Lakers. The Lakers are gonna

405
00:22:13,519 --> 00:22:16,680
be able to score too. Luca Orst. The guards over there,

406
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,359
they're not gonna have anything for him. Reez vversus the

407
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,359
guards over there, He's gonna be able to score and

408
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:22,799
get to the free throw line if he does play.

409
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,680
You just got to worry about wind Be down there

410
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,359
in the paint. I could see, you know, maybe they

411
00:22:30,039 --> 00:22:32,240
I mean, if you put a shooter out there a center,

412
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,359
obviously we can take advantage of him on the other end.

413
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,319
But I see the Lakers trying to get Windby away

414
00:22:38,319 --> 00:22:40,359
from the paint, and just I think they could score

415
00:22:40,519 --> 00:22:44,960
on his Spurs team. So I over or Lakers for me,

416
00:22:45,519 --> 00:22:50,319
really more so Lakers, Luca, I think he gets a

417
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,839
job done today. Can you talk me off the Lakers?

418
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,519
Speaker 2: Well, I would say there's a huge gap in defenses here,

419
00:22:57,559 --> 00:23:00,599
seeing in Tone the number one rated defensively fish team

420
00:23:00,599 --> 00:23:03,200
in the league. A lot of that obviously has to

421
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,279
do with Wenby at the rim and being such a

422
00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:10,119
good rim protector. So when you said you'd like to

423
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,519
see them draw him away from the rim, makes a

424
00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:15,559
lot of sense. Whether they can or not remains to

425
00:23:15,599 --> 00:23:18,559
be seen, but they are the number one defensive efficiency

426
00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:21,319
team in the league. They're also against Ski I'll check

427
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,480
with your numbers. I show San Antonio the slowest paced

428
00:23:24,519 --> 00:23:27,640
team in the NBA, just not getting up and down,

429
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,960
and the Lakers, although they score a lot of points,

430
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,799
they're efficient, but they're fairly slow too. My first look

431
00:23:34,839 --> 00:23:37,000
here again, it's come out of my mouth once already

432
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,119
today was towards the under. They bet it that way

433
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,599
down to two twenty seven and a half. But I

434
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,599
think San Antonio defensively is just good enough to get

435
00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:50,519
this done. We're gonna see something else creeps into my

436
00:23:50,559 --> 00:23:55,200
mind where the other night Luca doesn't play, Austin Reeves

437
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,160
doesn't play, the Lakers win. Now Luca's back, it's the NBA.

438
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,519
They probably don't tonight. But for me, it would probably

439
00:24:02,519 --> 00:24:04,440
be a look. And it's the exact opposite of what

440
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,000
you said. And very seldom do we disagree as much

441
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,559
as we've done today. But I think that I would

442
00:24:09,599 --> 00:24:13,599
look seeing Antonio because the defensive edge that they have

443
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,440
and also probably a little bit under still haven't played,

444
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,759
might get their injury reports important here to me, especially

445
00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:24,200
where Austin Reeves is concerned.

446
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: RUI all right, yeah, Jojo like really points and rebounds.

447
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,920
All right? You know we made it, didn't I didn't.

448
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,440
I made it to the end, all right. I'm just

449
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,119
gonna pass it to you, Robie, and I'm not putting

00:24:59,839 --> 00:25:03,359

460
00:25:09,559 --> 00:25:13,640
Press College Hoops Show. Let me go back to where

461
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,519
we started. I like the Sixers team total over one

462
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,559
twelve and a half. It's going to be my best bet,

463
00:25:18,599 --> 00:25:20,240
one of the two things that I did bet today,

464
00:25:20,279 --> 00:25:22,599
the other one being Dallas. So if you want to

465
00:25:22,599 --> 00:25:25,759
take that into consideration as well, you can. But again

466
00:25:25,799 --> 00:25:28,160
I explain the reasons why I like Philadelphia. I just

467
00:25:28,599 --> 00:25:30,720
I like the energy on this team right now. They

468
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,200
don't play a lot of defense. They push pace, and

469
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:37,400
they do score. And if Cleveland's injury list has even

470
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,799
a couple of those guys off, especially Jared Allen, they

471
00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:43,079
probably will score more than one twelve and a half.

472
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,960
So that's my play here. Best bet, Philly, Philadelphia seventy

473
00:25:46,039 --> 00:25:48,559
six ers team total over one twelve and a half.

474
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,319
Speaker 1: Good stuff from Ralphino. For myself, my best bet will

475
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,480
be Keishawn George over thirteen and a half, fourteen and

476
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,759
a half points, whatever you can get. He's had fifteen

477
00:25:58,759 --> 00:26:01,680
plus five at a seven game names. No, Middleton will

478
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,359
have a lot more on his play tonight, and I

479
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,880
don't I don't fear. I don't think they feared that

480
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,519
Celtics defense over there, so I think he'll be able

481
00:26:10,559 --> 00:26:13,599
to get fifteen plus tonight. That's Keyshawn George for the

482
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,240
Washington Wizards. You know, appreciate you taking the time to
