1
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,679
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome into another episode of Profit Picks.

2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,519
If you are new, we always start this show by

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,599
being transparent and probably not gonna be saying this too often,

4
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:15,519
you know, in the near future. But yesterday was a

5
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:18,879
day where I didn't get involved with anything. You know,

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,320
talked about those two games, thinking about them for months.

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,519
I just I didn't feel comfortable enough. And honestly, you know,

8
00:00:25,879 --> 00:00:29,640
I think I saved myself some money because over time,

9
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:33,359
whether I FI was Rockets team total under or I

10
00:00:33,359 --> 00:00:35,880
would have been a disaster. So it was good for

11
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,359
me to be on the sidelines yesterday. How's everything for

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:39,960
you and how are you feeling today?

13
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,399
Speaker 2: Doing good? Ski? There was one NBA play for me yesterday.

14
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:49,039
We talked about it here. The Golden State Lakers game over.

15
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:51,679
The total barely got there, but it did get there.

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,159
Real second half flurry again, Ski, how about Golden State

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,240
third quarter one more time right, thirty five twenty five

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,240
last night win. Maybe that's the thing we can pick

19
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,200
up again this year. But the total did get there.

20
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:09,040
And then I had a college football total with the

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,480
Kennesaw State game over, and that got over the total.

22
00:01:12,519 --> 00:01:15,000
So it's two and out. Small plays but still two

23
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:18,239
and those two and oh will take it.

24
00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: Two and oh. I mean if you do that every day, man,

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,680
you go get you a nice island rob. You know,

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,200
we'll take two and oh every single day.

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 2: You come visit me out there on the island.

28
00:01:30,359 --> 00:01:32,439
Speaker 1: All as long as you got the tequila pineapple, it'll

29
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,239
be good. All right, let's get to some actionable info.

30
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,400
We have a lot of games. I didn't count them all,

31
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:40,799
but I think it. I'm gonna eyeball. I think it's

32
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:46,719
eleven or twelve. We'll see. So we won't talk about

33
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,719
all of them, you know, as much as we did

34
00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:51,359
those two games yesterday. But the ones we feel stronger

35
00:01:51,359 --> 00:01:54,480
about we'll get to. And also, I want to throw

36
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,319
this out there. It's the beginning of the season. You

37
00:01:57,319 --> 00:02:00,359
don't get the normal, you know, we can't. We don't

38
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:03,799
have numbers to go off of, no recent performance, no anything.

39
00:02:03,879 --> 00:02:06,680
So it'll be a little bit different of a handicap

40
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,960
and show than what you'll probably see, you know, two

41
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,280
weeks from now. All right, you know, let's get to it. Cleveland,

42
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,280
New York is first of five O five five oh

43
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:19,240
six that opened up New York minus three and a

44
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,000
half flip a favorite. Cleveland is now minus three and

45
00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:25,599
a half total open two twenty nine and a half,

46
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,759
and I'm seeing two twenty six and a half. Literally

47
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,759
right before I did the show. I think I just

48
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,680
saw that injury with Karl Anthony town. So let's take

49
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,400
a look here refreshed, because like I told you all,

50
00:02:39,439 --> 00:02:43,879
their every five seconds, somebody's rolled out. No Mitch Robinson,

51
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,039
no Josh Hart. Hounds is listed as doubtful.

52
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 3: I thought I saw him out, but maybe I guess

53
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,919
I should double check, but I swear I just saw

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,800
him listed this out right now, and that's why the

55
00:02:56,879 --> 00:02:57,840
number came down.

56
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: Doubtful probably just as good as out O Giananobe is

57
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:08,000
probable for the Cavaliers. No max Strus, no Garland, then

58
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:11,680
you have a hundred questionable. You're supposed to be two

59
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,840
of the top teams in the East here Raveno and

60
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,240
again I have to change the spread and total here

61
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,479
because the lines are moving, you know, as we speak.

62
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:23,680
But it's not the matchup that we were looking forward to.

63
00:03:23,759 --> 00:03:25,960
With everybody out. For New York, right they could be

64
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,039
down three, I mean three key guys. They are down

65
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:34,159
three key guys for Cleveland. They do have more of

66
00:03:34,199 --> 00:03:37,159
their core. I mean, at this point, it seems like

67
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,680
it's Cleveland's game to lose. Raveno. I'll tell you this

68
00:03:41,759 --> 00:03:46,199
before I pass it to you. I did bet under

69
00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:49,719
in this game, and you know, some of why I

70
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,360
liked it has gone away now, but I still think

71
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,800
it could potentially get there. The things that I was

72
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,080
saying that I like that are gone are I like

73
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:01,960
Mitchell Robinson being able to protect the paint, car Anthony

74
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,800
Towns being able to protect the paint. And you have

75
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,759
another pair of bigs on the other side who can

76
00:04:05,759 --> 00:04:09,360
do the same thing, and Mobley and Jared Allen, but

77
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,759
we're not gonna get those two bigs for the New

78
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:19,439
York side. Other than that, the pace without Darius Garland

79
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,639
for that Cavaliers team definitely dropped last season. I know

80
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,680
they got an addition and Lonzo Ball see if he'll

81
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,279
keep the tempo going. But between that, you know, also

82
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,480
missing a shooter and Max strus I was looking towards

83
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,120
an under two twenty nine and a half. It's the

84
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:39,040
number I got. We're now looking at two twenty six

85
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:42,439
and a half. Do you think would you still trust

86
00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:45,079
it with the injury report? How are you looking at

87
00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:45,560
this game.

88
00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: Ravino, Yeah, this one's tough ski too many missing pieces.

89
00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:54,000
I did not play it. And then Nicks certainly are

90
00:04:55,439 --> 00:04:59,279
hurt defensively by all these absences. And you know, generally

91
00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:03,720
speaking last two years, three years, when I speak of

92
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,720
Cleveland at least, and I think when most of us

93
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,839
speak with Cleveland, I've done a bunch of shows with

94
00:05:07,879 --> 00:05:12,120
you the last five years. We talk about Cleveland's front line.

95
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,319
Evan Mobley, Jared Allen. There's nobody to contest those two

96
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:19,480
guys that Jared Allen. I don't and again I'm not

97
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,680
a prop guy, but these are the thoughts that came

98
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,720
to my mind. Jared Allen rebounds has to be in

99
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,240
play here. Evan Mobley from everything that came out of

100
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,720
Cleveland in the offseason and some of the preseason, Evan

101
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:37,879
Mobley looks like they're looking toward him to be a

102
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,000
bigger scorer carry Moore of the scoring load this year.

103
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,399
That probably is in play. I don't know what his

104
00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:46,720
points are, but from a prop perspective, I would think

105
00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:50,319
that the two bigs on Cleveland's side, I mean, how

106
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:54,439
many minutes can Yabiselli give them the Knicks at center here?

107
00:05:54,519 --> 00:05:57,720
He's a part time player for Philly, forced into action

108
00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:00,639
last year due to injuries. As good players outid player,

109
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:02,079
but he's a backup. I don't know that he can

110
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,240
give you more than twenty three twenty four minutes that

111
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:10,639
are good so to me, I don't know that I

112
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,480
could trust the total under simply because the Knicks are

113
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,839
likely probably gonna want to push it a little bit.

114
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,720
There's such a small team here tonight, and Cleveland has

115
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:23,240
such an interior edge. I don't want to play under,

116
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,079
don't want to play over. The only thing I could

117
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:28,839
recommend here is maybe the two bigs for Cleveland in

118
00:06:28,879 --> 00:06:33,120
some prop form, look like the best, the best possible

119
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:33,600
place to me.

120
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: Hey, Cody says, Nicks may struggle to score here looking

121
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,680
at their team total under, your Cavs still have you

122
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,560
know that defense on their side. It could be a

123
00:06:43,639 --> 00:06:46,720
good way to pivot there. Let's keep going. Rovino do

124
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:49,279
have a lot of games today, and next up looks

125
00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:52,040
like five oh seven five away. Brooklyn and Charlotte opened

126
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,399
up minus four and a half for the Hornets currently

127
00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:58,120
five total open two twenty two and a half all

128
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,800
the way up to twenty eight and a half. So

129
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,240
shut up about six points there. As far as who's available,

130
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,480
I do see Grant Williams and Josh Green out for

131
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,480
the Hornets, I Smith out for the Nets a lot

132
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,000
of I mean a little bit of a new Nets

133
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:20,319
team here. Here's here's how I think about this one.

134
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,480
I don't really trust all of the guys on the

135
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,040
on the Nets team. I trust Cam Thomas, I trust

136
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,560
Michael Porter both to score. I trust LaMelo to play

137
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,720
a pace and score. I trust Brandon Miller to score.

138
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,839
Like if I'm playing this one, I agree the total

139
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,000
is moving in the right direction. Already moves six points.

140
00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:40,839
You know you're getting the ass end of the line.

141
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:43,319
But I think that's the right way for it to go.

142
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,439
Other than that, I don't think either of these teams

143
00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:51,480
are great defensively, And you know in basketball, I don't

144
00:07:51,519 --> 00:07:53,680
like to lay with teams I don't trust to get stops.

145
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,240
So it would be Brooklyn probably or over you know,

146
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:02,319
in this one. And when I think about that to MPJ,

147
00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:04,759
I think he'll want to have a good debut over

148
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,839
there for the Hornets, So maybe bet on him anything

149
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,639
for you in this game between Nets and Hornets.

150
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,199
Speaker 2: Roveno, Yeah, I actually played ski and again, I think

151
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,240
one thing that you set off the top. It's the

152
00:08:16,279 --> 00:08:18,600
beginning of the season, and for those of you who

153
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,800
may purchase plays that I've had the first couple of days,

154
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,040
you can see I'm going baby steps in. There's plays,

155
00:08:27,079 --> 00:08:29,360
but there's smaller unit plays because we don't have a

156
00:08:29,399 --> 00:08:33,279
lot of solid info yet. But I did play this game,

157
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,919
and I did play the Charlotte team. Total over, I

158
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,879
just zero it in on Charlotte. I think you mentioned

159
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:40,039
right off the bat there is not a lick of

160
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,639
defense going to be played by Michael Porter Junior or

161
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,200
camp Thommas. So the Nets are and they've got five

162
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,279
rookies on this team. I just can't see the Nets

163
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,320
going out there against an uptempo pace team like Charlotte

164
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,519
who wants to push and has legitimate scorers across the board,

165
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,320
even a couple deep into the rotation. Oh, it was

166
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,840
one fifteen and a half yesterday at first ski when

167
00:09:02,879 --> 00:09:06,279
I got it, when I recommended it, it had jumped

168
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,799
up a point to sixteen. One sixteen and a half.

169
00:09:08,799 --> 00:09:11,879
But I still think Charlotte is likely in that one

170
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,519
seventeen category. One thing I think we know we're going

171
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,759
to get here is a lot of opportunity. Charlotte may

172
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:21,799
shoot a bunch of free jews here. Again, when you

173
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,799
have so many guys that haven't played together, defensive assignments

174
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,639
get blown all the time. In this game. I think

175
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,960
Charlotte can take huge advantage of it. They're going to

176
00:09:30,039 --> 00:09:32,759
want to come out on their home floor opening day,

177
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:36,120
Opening night, excuse me and play really well. So my

178
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,799
play here with Charlotte team total up and over what's

179
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,240
currently won sixteen and a half?

180
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,879
Speaker 1: A right? Good stuff on that Rob. You know I

181
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,039
can't talk you off at all. Let's keep going down

182
00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:48,399
the list. I messed up something on my screen here,

183
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,200
but I'll try to fix it as we keep going.

184
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,440
Next up is five on nine to five ten heat,

185
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,679
and you know their neighbors going to Orlando to face

186
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,159
the Magic opened up minus eight and a half or Orlando.

187
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,120
You'll see eight and a half out there. There's a

188
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,799
nine that just popped up. Total opened two thirteen and

189
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,480
a half and it looks like it's as high as

190
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,559
two fifteen and a half. And again, I just want

191
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,240
to refresh because when I see these lines moving, you

192
00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:19,279
know what time it is. The injury or something might

193
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,159
have happened. We are waiting on Khalel where he's listed

194
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,000
as questionable. There will be no tier hero in this game.

195
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,840
And then Moe Wagner out for the Magic. I saw

196
00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:33,840
somebody in the chat. I gotta put this up there

197
00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:39,720
because let me just where is it? Miami team total under.

198
00:10:39,799 --> 00:10:43,279
They got no shooters. I mean when I'm looking, Norman

199
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,440
Powell can shoot, Wigains can shoot, David Michel can hit

200
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,279
a couple jumpers. It's not like they don't have anybody.

201
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,720
But I do think, you know, they can struggle going

202
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:56,720
up against this Magic defense. I mean, we've seen the

203
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,840
last year, the year before, I think even as well,

204
00:10:59,399 --> 00:11:02,120
very very good defensive team. A lot of the problems

205
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,679
that I had with the Magic was thought process wise,

206
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:09,279
you know. Was usually when I expect teams to win

207
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,879
by these big margins, it's teams that I trust to

208
00:11:11,919 --> 00:11:14,039
shoot the three well and defend the three well. Now

209
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,480
the Magic were one of these teams that they didn't

210
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,679
have a whole lot of shooters last year, but when

211
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,679
they were big favorites, they were pretty damn good. They

212
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,440
still find a way to do it. And now this

213
00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:26,240
season you had Desmond Bain, who helps you in that

214
00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:30,399
department where you were lacking. So I like the addition.

215
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:34,480
I like this Magic team. Uh the more I think

216
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,360
about it, I mean, I think they can win this

217
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:40,399
game by double digits. Can you talk me off of

218
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,519
the Magic here at the House?

219
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 2: No, because it's still on my short list of play.

220
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,480
I was waiting on, you know, some kind of definitive

221
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,879
information on where, if where can't go. It throws Jovich

222
00:11:52,919 --> 00:11:54,960
into the game, and it's just a different story when

223
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,200
they played when they went to that lineup last year,

224
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,440
when they played Bam at the four and where the five,

225
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,120
it kind of worked for Miami. They started scoring a

226
00:12:03,159 --> 00:12:05,960
little more. But like you mentioned, no Tyler Hero, but

227
00:12:06,039 --> 00:12:10,720
insert Norman Powell. Norman Powell can do Tyler Hero type things.

228
00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:15,639
Davion Mitchell is not necessarily a shooter. To the earlier

229
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,120
comment about they don't have shooters Wiggins, we don't know.

230
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,840
I don't really trust that bench on Miami. But here's

231
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,360
what put it on the short list for me was

232
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:26,440
when I saw Jalen Suggs was gonna play. I thought

233
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,679
Jalen Suggs might miss. And this is a team for

234
00:12:29,799 --> 00:12:32,799
those who don't know that I played a future bet

235
00:12:32,879 --> 00:12:36,200
on to win the Southeast Division. I know Atlanta's made improvements,

236
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,799
but the Desmond Bain pick up and then add on

237
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,360
top of it Ski, but I think it's probably one

238
00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:46,320
of the most unheralded acquisitions of the offseason when Orlando

239
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,240
picked up Tyas Jones. Who, believe it or not, Tyas

240
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,039
Jones at point guard has led the NBA and assist

241
00:12:53,159 --> 00:12:56,360
the turnover ratio six of the last seven years. It's crazy.

242
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,559
How good boss with the ball. And like you said,

243
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,200
you normally don't trust Orlando offensively to cover numbers like this,

244
00:13:04,279 --> 00:13:07,440
but when you can come off the bench with Tyas Jones,

245
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,200
that's a big deal for playmaking ability for the Magic

246
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,480
who definitely have guys who can finish. So to me,

247
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,000
like I said, it was on the short list, it

248
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:21,720
might totally get on the playlist here minus the eight

249
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,200
and a half or whatnot. I don't wanted to get

250
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,279
two out of hands. You said you saw a nine jump,

251
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,840
so there may be only one. Yeah, in the show

252
00:13:29,879 --> 00:13:34,559
here Afesser's movement to interrupt and get involved quicker than

253
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,480
we want to. But yeah, I do like Orlando.

254
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, we let's shut it down real quick

255
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:44,799
on this show. We don't play around that wallet. Let's

256
00:13:44,799 --> 00:13:48,080
get involved, all right. Uh yeah, we're both looking at

257
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:53,519
Orlando in this game. Next one, five eleven, five twelve,

258
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,279
Toronto and Atlanta opened up Atlanta minus six, came down

259
00:13:57,279 --> 00:13:59,799
a little bit to five and a half. Total open

260
00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:03,360
two thirty five and a half and as high as

261
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,799
two thirty seven and a half. Injury report. Nobody on

262
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:11,759
there for the Hawks. For the Raptors, Jakobe Walter, I

263
00:14:11,759 --> 00:14:15,360
believe that it is is out. Mary Boyles is out

264
00:14:15,399 --> 00:14:19,919
as well. This Raptors team now has the combination of

265
00:14:20,159 --> 00:14:24,480
Ingram and Barnes on the wings, and I like it's

266
00:14:24,559 --> 00:14:28,919
that's a lot of length, athleticsism, defense, you know. I

267
00:14:29,039 --> 00:14:34,240
like that. At the same time, I don't really trust

268
00:14:34,399 --> 00:14:37,279
or like the guard player for Toronto. I actually hate it.

269
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,799
So I'm I'm unsure, you know, what I really want

270
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,159
to do with this Toronto team. As far as Atlanta,

271
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,840
I do like their roster. I like the addition of Porzingis.

272
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,559
I think that they have really I think they have

273
00:14:51,639 --> 00:14:56,919
some potential to make some noise this year, but it's

274
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,080
really really only one guy. I try to defend right there,

275
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,240
and uh, you know, you know me Robno. I like

276
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,519
that expect you know that I can trust to get

277
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:09,919
some stop when I'm laying some points. So that makes

278
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,679
me hesitate. On the Atlanta side, you know, I want

279
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,919
to try to find reasons to to take the points

280
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,399
with Toronto. But then I look at Quickly and RJ

281
00:15:18,519 --> 00:15:22,759
and I say, never mind. You know, is there any

282
00:15:22,759 --> 00:15:25,039
way you can get involved with the Raptors and Hawks?

283
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,919
Speaker 2: You know, real quick to the one guy that you

284
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,000
can trust defensively on the Hawks side, it's the new guy, right,

285
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,080
it's Dice and Daniels that guy. But absolutely interesting that

286
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,399
at shooting guard Ski a couple of years back, and

287
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,320
this is the reason why I played Orlando to win

288
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,399
the Southeast. Atlantam made the big move for dejenta Murray,

289
00:15:43,399 --> 00:15:46,759
who was a better two way playman, a very good

290
00:15:46,759 --> 00:15:49,799
defensive player and a far better offensive player than Daniels is.

291
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,200
Daniels is excellent on the defensive end, but he's not

292
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,840
de Jontay Murray offensively, and they still couldn't get anything done.

293
00:15:56,519 --> 00:15:58,440
It's a little bit bothersome to me. I know a

294
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,360
lot of people are higher on the Hawks now. If

295
00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:04,080
I flip it over, I know that our buddy and

296
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,000
colleague Teddy Covers is extremely high on Toronto. I have

297
00:16:08,039 --> 00:16:12,759
to see it to probably accept it. What I do

298
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,840
think is that last year, I don't know the last

299
00:16:15,879 --> 00:16:18,679
thirty games or so, let's just say after all Star break,

300
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,399
Toronto was just a wildly high scoring team. Score a lot,

301
00:16:23,639 --> 00:16:27,159
give up a lot. And if they continue that philosophy

302
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,159
when you play the Hawks, you know, maybe you can

303
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,159
get to over I just don't know that I can

304
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,960
get involved in a game where I need two thirty

305
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,399
eight on the first game of the season. You know,

306
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,879
we're probably gonna get the two forty real fast here

307
00:16:41,879 --> 00:16:44,559
from the hodsmakers. If this is already too thirty seven

308
00:16:44,559 --> 00:16:46,960
and a half. It took double overtime last night, like

309
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,080
you saying that OKC Houston game to get to where

310
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,720
it was. They're far better defensive teams. I don't know,

311
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,480
don't like the game as far as betting it is concerned.

312
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,480
But I want to see what Toronto looks like on

313
00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:00,240
the floor here for a couple of games, and you know,

314
00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:04,880
if that guard play is anything at all, they should

315
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,880
be able to score. I know quickly e Manual quickly

316
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,000
is going to charge that team up and down the floor.

317
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:11,680
So you should get opportunities here.

318
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would expect them to play with pace for sure,

319
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,799
And I mean you expect the same kind of thing

320
00:17:17,799 --> 00:17:21,279
with the Hawks, right, so I can understand if this

321
00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:23,440
one was the highest scoring game of the night, I

322
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:28,319
wouldn't be surprised. Yeah, let's let's keep going down the list.

323
00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:33,319
Drip Fego says, any player props, I mean, nothing is

324
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,960
standing out right now. I mean, yesterday I talked about

325
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,920
some player props, but again, this is the first game

326
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,200
of the season. We don't have any numbers, we don't

327
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,000
have anything to go off of, and we have eleven

328
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,880
or twelve games to handicap as it is. So Nah,

329
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,200
don't see any player props right now that are standing

330
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,960
out to me. Really, just spend the time getting through

331
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,720
these twelve games trying to figure out whom we pick

332
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:59,559
on the side in total. Honestly, next seventy six ers

333
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,440
and Celtics opened up minus two and a half for Boston.

334
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,519
Looks like four and a half right now to to

335
00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:09,240
open two twenty four and a half, and it's all

336
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,599
the way up to two twenty nine. As far as

337
00:18:11,599 --> 00:18:17,200
who's available tonight, Jalen Brown is still questionable. We know

338
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,440
there's no Tatum for Boston. Paul George's out, mckenne is out,

339
00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:24,079
Watford is out for Philly. Shocker, Robno.

340
00:18:28,319 --> 00:18:29,839
Speaker 2: Means a lot of money for not playing.

341
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, Joel and Bid will be out there. We'll

342
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,480
see what he looks like. I'm not a big believer

343
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,119
in in you know, current state of Joel Ebid or

344
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:46,599
what I've seen from him recently. So I'm not high

345
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,079
on the six years in general, no secret. I do

346
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,519
like their rookie vj Edgecombe. You know, maybe he can

347
00:18:53,599 --> 00:18:59,200
have a good game, but as far as as far

348
00:18:59,279 --> 00:19:02,079
as this game, if I'm betting it, you know, I

349
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,519
heard I think it was Jalen Brown and he was

350
00:19:04,559 --> 00:19:08,680
saying something like he's more like this seems like more

351
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,640
of a track team than a basketball team, Like they

352
00:19:10,759 --> 00:19:14,559
just want to run and you see the total skyrocketing up.

353
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:18,119
So players talking like that, especially you know early in

354
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,079
the season, no numbers, I tend to want to listen.

355
00:19:20,799 --> 00:19:22,680
I think the total will moved in the right direction,

356
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,759
and uh yeah, that's how I feel. What do you think? Rap?

357
00:19:26,839 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: You know, and I think those moves in this game

358
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,400
Ski correlate Boston's up to four now or four and

359
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,759
a half the totals up, and I think that's just

360
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,200
somebody knows that Jalen Brown's going to be involved in

361
00:19:39,279 --> 00:19:41,839
the game. Game SAT total SAT, and then all of

362
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,039
a sudden it popped, And I think that probably means

363
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,720
Jalen Brown's involved, and I can't disagree with him. When

364
00:19:47,759 --> 00:19:50,799
you look at their new look lineup SKI and we

365
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,559
know Boston wants to shoot fifty three is a game.

366
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:58,839
Peyton Pritchard, Derek White, Sam Hauser, Jalen Brown all in

367
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,440
the starting five. That's crazy. You're gonna get an awful

368
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,519
lot of pace, You're gonna get an awful lot of

369
00:20:04,599 --> 00:20:07,599
three pointers. And on the other side, it's the same thing.

370
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,319
I mean, a couple of preseason games here locally watching

371
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,359
the Sixers vj Edge Coleman. Again, it's preseason, but we

372
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,680
saw him at Baylor gets out on the wing. He's

373
00:20:17,759 --> 00:20:21,759
a tremendous athlete, good finisher, looked good in preseason. Having

374
00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:26,319
Tyreese Maxi back is huge. Quentin Grimes was the leading

375
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,960
scorer for Philly last year. Once all the starters went

376
00:20:31,039 --> 00:20:32,799
down and they were playing with that backup unit, the

377
00:20:32,839 --> 00:20:34,880
guy they went to was Quentin Grimes, so they've got

378
00:20:35,519 --> 00:20:38,640
all kinds of scoring in their lineup. There's nobody to

379
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:44,799
contest embiid if in fact he is healthy enough to

380
00:20:44,839 --> 00:20:47,160
play well tonight. He looked pretty good in preseason. I

381
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,119
will say he doesn't look like he's struggling movement wise,

382
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,039
so I could understand the total. I should have been

383
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,640
there to start with at the two twenty four and

384
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,039
a half, but now it's quite the move up to

385
00:21:01,079 --> 00:21:02,720
two twenty nine to twenty nine and a half. But

386
00:21:02,759 --> 00:21:05,079
I certainly understand it because I think this is going

387
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,519
to be some form of track meet.

388
00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: All right, Next game up Pistons and Bulls five fifteen

389
00:21:11,319 --> 00:21:13,880
five sixteen open minus two and a half for Pistons.

390
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:15,720
I think he got up to four and a half

391
00:21:15,799 --> 00:21:19,240
and came back down once Chicago's injury report got a

392
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:23,079
little cleaner. Total open two thirty four and a half

393
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,799
went down. Now that the injured report is cleaner, it

394
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,880
went back up to two thirty seven and a half.

395
00:21:30,799 --> 00:21:34,839
Kobe White out, Zach Collins out, Harris LeVert is probable

396
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,759
for Detroit. No or Sasser's doubtful. I'm sorry, and Ivy

397
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:44,880
looks like he's going to be out. You know I did,

398
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,759
I did play this game, and you know I don't

399
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,440
like to see the total going up when I've been

400
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,640
an under. But really my thought process is, again we

401
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,759
don't have the numbers and all this stuff. My thought

402
00:21:56,799 --> 00:21:59,319
process was, you're missing a lot of points in pace

403
00:21:59,759 --> 00:22:05,480
with both Kobe White and Jaden Ivy. That was the

404
00:22:05,599 --> 00:22:09,640
basis for it. But I'll ask you, with this total

405
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,319
on the rise, do you think it's the wrong side

406
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,240
to be on the under? Or how you viewing Detroit

407
00:22:14,279 --> 00:22:14,839
in Chicago?

408
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,039
Speaker 2: Well, I will say this to your case. Anybody who's

409
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,880
taken the time to listen to Billy Donovan, I mean

410
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,680
he's trying to tell everybody defense and physicality. Those are

411
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,720
the first two words out of his mouth about this season.

412
00:22:30,079 --> 00:22:32,880
It's a three hundred and sixty degree polar opposite of

413
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,720
what the Bulls have been. But when we see that

414
00:22:35,839 --> 00:22:40,960
they got Jalen Smith out of Detroit at center a

415
00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:43,799
shot blocker deluxe. When we see that Patrick Williams is

416
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,200
back healthy, it's interesting some of the guys Isaaccoro is

417
00:22:48,279 --> 00:22:50,680
now on this team, Some of some guys who are

418
00:22:50,799 --> 00:22:54,799
more defensive minded than offensive minded now infiltrating of the

419
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,599
Bulls rotation. I mean, you can't just believe the coach

420
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,880
because he says that's what he wants to do. The

421
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,519
players still have to do it. But I'd rather take

422
00:23:04,559 --> 00:23:08,200
a night and see if the Bulls do play any

423
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,759
form of defense. Pistons can score. They didn't have Jade

424
00:23:11,759 --> 00:23:14,279
and Ivy all last year basically, and they still scored.

425
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:19,720
So they've got players Duncan Robinson in their starting lineup

426
00:23:19,799 --> 00:23:23,640
is kind of interesting. All shoot, no defense. I don't know,

427
00:23:23,759 --> 00:23:25,960
Ski I could, I could see your side of it.

428
00:23:26,079 --> 00:23:29,200
I didn't play because I'd rather watch the Bulls after

429
00:23:29,279 --> 00:23:32,240
hearing Donovan talk and just see if it's lip service

430
00:23:32,319 --> 00:23:34,680
or if they really are going to be at least

431
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,279
a little bit different. I don't expect them to be

432
00:23:36,319 --> 00:23:38,640
a team that you know, is top five defense in

433
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,359
the NBA, but they were so rotten last year. If

434
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,759
they could just get up to you know, average fifteen

435
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,160
sixteen seventeen the NBA, they could be pretty good. So

436
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:47,640
we'll see.

437
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I'm playing the player prop here is absolutely Kate,

438
00:23:51,599 --> 00:23:53,559
and I would prefer to bet on Kate then bet

439
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,599
on the Pistons, because no Pistons are gonna win. I

440
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,240
think Kate is having a great night. That's just how

441
00:23:58,279 --> 00:24:00,960
I view them. So to the person about player props

442
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:06,920
so far, probably Kate, maybe VJ in the previous game,

443
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,240
Cam Thomas or MPJ in that next game. And I'm

444
00:24:12,279 --> 00:24:18,119
talking points for all these guys, so Evan Mobley, Pra

445
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,480
as of right now, that's just looking down the list.

446
00:24:21,519 --> 00:24:23,039
Those will be guys that I will try to make

447
00:24:23,079 --> 00:24:28,720
a case for, you know, keep going here. New Orleans

448
00:24:28,759 --> 00:24:32,079
Pelicans Memphis Grizzlies five seventeen five eighteen opened up minus

449
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,079
three and a half for the Grizzlies, looks like four

450
00:24:34,559 --> 00:24:37,000
total open two thirty four and a half as high

451
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:42,160
as two thirty seven. Who is available or who is

452
00:24:42,279 --> 00:24:46,680
not available? In this game? The Pelicans will be without Dejahntay, Murray,

453
00:24:47,599 --> 00:24:54,279
Cavan Looney. I feel like, year after year, even in

454
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,359
the the Grizzlies just always have a laundry list of injuries,

455
00:24:57,519 --> 00:25:01,039
Like why is everybody always hurt? There? No Brandon Clark,

456
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,039
no zachy Ty Jerome out, Scottie Pivian Junior out, Williams out.

457
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,960
I have a hard time, but I feel like it's

458
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,240
the lineup is so inconsistent all the time. With this

459
00:25:12,319 --> 00:25:17,079
Grizzlies team. I never have a strong fell on them

460
00:25:17,599 --> 00:25:21,319
in general. This Pelicans team, I like one through four.

461
00:25:21,599 --> 00:25:23,400
I'm not gonna say I don't like five. I just

462
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,319
I worry. That would be my worry. If I'm worried

463
00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:34,680
about this roster is Kevon, Looni and Mesi. But I

464
00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:37,440
do think one through four we'll be able to score on,

465
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,680
you know, with the best of them. So seeing them

466
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,920
getting points here, I was trying to make a case

467
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,319
for the Pelicans. Can you help me out trying to

468
00:25:46,319 --> 00:25:47,359
get there with New Orleans.

469
00:25:49,559 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 2: It's hard, and it's just as hard to make a

470
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,279
case for the other side. Ski, to tell you the truth.

471
00:25:55,319 --> 00:25:58,000
But to go back to your point about the Memphis injuries,

472
00:25:58,039 --> 00:26:00,599
they're not just injuries. Those are all low tournament like

473
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,599
we're not going to see those guys for a while.

474
00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:06,880
Zach Edy out until mid December, Ty Jerome out until

475
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,680
late November, Brandon Clark out until December, Scottie Pippen Junior

476
00:26:11,799 --> 00:26:15,960
out until January. Those are four guys that play minutes

477
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,559
for this team and you're not going to see him

478
00:26:18,559 --> 00:26:21,200
for at least six weeks, any of them. So it's

479
00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:24,680
kind of a strange situation here, you throw KCP into

480
00:26:24,759 --> 00:26:27,240
the mix to help just score a little bit. John

481
00:26:27,839 --> 00:26:32,480
Jared Jackson are certainly quality duo capable of anything. But

482
00:26:33,799 --> 00:26:37,680
I don't know. I kind of like the Pelicans scoring

483
00:26:37,759 --> 00:26:40,720
ability off the bench. I will say with Alvarado, with

484
00:26:40,759 --> 00:26:45,000
the rookie from Oklahoma, Jeremiah Fears, who's a scorer deluxe,

485
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,319
and then Jordan Hawk in second year out of Yukon.

486
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,079
But you know, I know Jose Alvarado is a pretty

487
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,079
good defender. But I don't see a lot of defense

488
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,599
in this game. It's again, it's one of those that

489
00:26:55,759 --> 00:26:57,799
was priced too high for me to get to the total.

490
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,880
But sidew it's just difficult. You have to just watch

491
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,279
this game. In my opinion, I may number props here ski.

492
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: Well sta, says Morant over twenty four and a half points.

493
00:27:11,799 --> 00:27:14,000
I mean, I don't see a whole lot of rim

494
00:27:14,039 --> 00:27:17,759
protection for the Pelicans. I mean I could see Marent

495
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:23,640
getting there. Zion maybe he has a I mean, we

496
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,160
saw skinny Luca last night. Maybe we see skinny Zion tonight.

497
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:30,880
Go off. People got something to prove in these first games,

498
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:36,559
So yeah, maybe Zion, maybe John ran points. It's tough.

499
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,680
I feel like anybody gets growing that Pelicans team, but

500
00:27:39,319 --> 00:27:43,279
Zion should be the most motivated. I think, all right,

501
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,759
keep going down the list here. I think we're making

502
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,799
okay time in so many games Washington and Milwaukee open

503
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,440
up minus nine for the Bucks looks like nine and

504
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,039
a half or ten total open two twenty seven and

505
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,640
a half, as low as two twenty six and a half.

506
00:28:02,759 --> 00:28:06,759
But we'll call consensus to twenty seven for the injury

507
00:28:06,839 --> 00:28:13,480
report belaws out for Washington, nobody else, nobody on the

508
00:28:13,519 --> 00:28:17,880
injury report for the Bucks. You know you like the

509
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,319
Bucks this season as far as being able to win

510
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:25,359
a little bit more than a five hundred team. I mean,

511
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,279
this should be one of the teams that they're able

512
00:28:27,319 --> 00:28:30,720
to beat up on. I like, when I look at this,

513
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,400
I see be honest surrounded by shooters. You know, I

514
00:28:35,559 --> 00:28:38,640
like Turner protecting the paint. I think that the Bucks

515
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,440
should be able to win this game by a big margin.

516
00:28:42,839 --> 00:28:46,200
But when I say that, you know it is the

517
00:28:46,279 --> 00:28:50,880
first game I am always weary of, Like I am

518
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,799
always wary of laying you know, close to double or

519
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,119
laying double digits in this first game of the season,

520
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,240
Like you just never know they're gonna come out already

521
00:28:59,319 --> 00:29:02,319
in rhythm. It's a lot of points for that. So

522
00:29:02,359 --> 00:29:05,680
I'll ask you all, are you a little bit nervous

523
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,839
about that? Is there any case we made for the Wizards?

524
00:29:08,319 --> 00:29:11,680
Or is it the good old over with Milwaukee and Washington.

525
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,119
Speaker 2: I'll say that I'm with you as far as Buck's

526
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,559
covering numbers is concerned, especially double digit numbers. I will

527
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,160
be involved here. I just haven't gotten to it yet,

528
00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:27,680
but I'm going to play the Milwaukee team total over

529
00:29:27,759 --> 00:29:29,880
one eighteen and a half here. There just doesn't seem

530
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,960
to be a lot of resistance from the Wizard's side,

531
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,039
and Milwaukee is healthy and deep one through nine. I

532
00:29:36,079 --> 00:29:38,839
mean when six through nine what's listed at least for

533
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,200
tonight is Bobby Portis, Kyle Kuzmatorian Prince and Cole Anthony.

534
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,799
That's pretty solid six through nine at all positions. So

535
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:53,599
for me, it's certainly we hear Giannis every single year.

536
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,200
He's pretty loyal to this team because he probably could

537
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,200
have gone at some point and left them. But I

538
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,480
think there's something to prove here that I hate to

539
00:30:03,599 --> 00:30:06,640
use the word because it's so overused. Statement game. It's

540
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,039
not really a statement game. But it's Milwaukee coming out

541
00:30:09,039 --> 00:30:12,559
as a group tonight and kind of setting a tone.

542
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,200
Love them having Miles Turner at center now. I think

543
00:30:16,319 --> 00:30:19,160
that's huge for them, and especially we're scoring is concerned

544
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:24,440
tonight against what's not a good Washington defense whatsoever. I mean,

545
00:30:24,559 --> 00:30:27,319
CJ's in there now. CJ and Chris Middleton are both

546
00:30:27,359 --> 00:30:30,119
going to start. There's no defense between the two of

547
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,359
them really, So for me, it's going to be the

548
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,480
Bucks team totaled. The current number listed is one eighteen

549
00:30:35,519 --> 00:30:37,400
and a half. I think they'll get to one twenty here.

550
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,920
Whether or not they cover, I'm not sure, but I

551
00:30:40,039 --> 00:30:40,839
do think they'll score.

552
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,119
Speaker 1: I like that play. I mean I thought about it

553
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,519
this morning before we talked. I just my hesitation was,

554
00:30:48,039 --> 00:30:49,880
if they're getting blown out by so much, maybe they

555
00:30:50,079 --> 00:30:52,599
just you know, take it easy at the end. But

556
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,279
still it's hard for me to see Washington stopping this

557
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,200
Milwaukee squad. And Milwaukee has a solid bench too, That's

558
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,920
what I mean. The six, I mean, maybe we can't

559
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,640
even trust those guys if it gets out of hand

560
00:31:05,839 --> 00:31:11,000
to continue scoring. Yeah, I mean one eighteen and a

561
00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:13,720
half seems pretty doable. Robne know, I do like it.

562
00:31:15,119 --> 00:31:18,359
I might join on that one. Won't. I won't stop

563
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,200
the show right now, but might open up that while

564
00:31:20,279 --> 00:31:25,599
a little bit later, comment came and said from Casey,

565
00:31:26,519 --> 00:31:30,720
there's two comments here. She likes Porters assists. Then you

566
00:31:30,799 --> 00:31:33,759
have Sta saying Janni's triple double off the Summer League,

567
00:31:34,119 --> 00:31:40,119
the Summer Interleague comments on passing, and then uh, Cody

568
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,319
likes Giannis Pira in Casey says Middleton props and this

569
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,440
one could be interesting. I mean, we're expecting more points

570
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,119
than not. I can't talk anybody off of any of

571
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,400
these props you said for this game. All right, you know,

572
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,440
let's keep going here, Clippers and Jazz. Another big point

573
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,319
spread open minus eight and a half for LA, looks

574
00:32:01,359 --> 00:32:03,599
like nine and a half total open two twenty six

575
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,960
and a half, and it's down as low as two

576
00:32:07,079 --> 00:32:10,119
twenty five and a half. As far as who's available,

577
00:32:13,559 --> 00:32:19,000
only Miller j Miller out, my bad. Let me refresh.

578
00:32:19,319 --> 00:32:24,359
Jordan Miller out for the UH for the Clippers. For Utah,

579
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:29,559
Collier and Niang both out. Oh, Ace Bailey is gonna play, Okay?

580
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,440
I thought I saw him listened as questionable, so he

581
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:37,839
must have gotten taken off of the injury report in general, Roberno,

582
00:32:39,799 --> 00:32:41,599
I look at this Utah team and I feel like

583
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,119
we saw this last year. I don't have the numbers

584
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,920
to back it up, but Utah does have a on

585
00:32:47,079 --> 00:32:51,920
court advantage with the altitude and stuff over there, and

586
00:32:52,839 --> 00:32:54,119
I know, I just feel like they have a lot

587
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,839
of guys who can make it scrappy. Yeat Kessler to

588
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,039
protect the paint. Marketing is a bucket, I think, and

589
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,519
get Ace Bailey's a bucket. You know he's a rookie.

590
00:33:02,599 --> 00:33:08,960
But I like Yontay George. I mean, ten points, give

591
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,920
me this you tall team ten points at home. I

592
00:33:12,119 --> 00:33:15,359
really want to try to get there. I do Clippers

593
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:25,799
team starting lineup looks stack if this is twenty and sixteen, Yeah,

594
00:33:25,839 --> 00:33:27,839
but I mean it is a listed a group of

595
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:32,880
good names. Guys are older, and uh, you know, I

596
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,920
don't like to bet on the older guys to come

597
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,480
out in the first game of the season and just

598
00:33:36,599 --> 00:33:39,000
be already rolling. You know, I think it might take

599
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,160
take those guys a little bit to get going. You

600
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,599
gotta you know, you got the old car, gott to

601
00:33:43,599 --> 00:33:46,480
crank it up, let it around a little bit. You

602
00:33:46,559 --> 00:33:48,519
can't just hop in there and go like it's a

603
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:53,880
twenty twenty five, so I don't know. They might they

604
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,440
might stumble in this first game. I lean towards Utah.

605
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,640
Can you talk me off? No?

606
00:34:00,839 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 2: And I think what you just said. That one situational

607
00:34:03,799 --> 00:34:07,200
just plays out in my mind constantly. Is that la,

608
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,480
whether it be slow start, whether it be get the

609
00:34:12,559 --> 00:34:14,679
vets out at the end of the game, because you're

610
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,079
winning big and Utah and sneak in under the number,

611
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:19,119
Utah is going to try to run. There's no reason

612
00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:21,880
why you wouldn't run against this team. Unfor so that

613
00:34:22,039 --> 00:34:26,280
the age on these players get and again saying get

614
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,559
the vets off the floor. There's more than a couple

615
00:34:29,599 --> 00:34:32,599
of vets. James Harden is old, Bradley Beal is old,

616
00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:36,639
Chris Paul is old, Nicholas Batoum is old, Brook Lopez

617
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,840
is old, Bargdanovich is old. They're all old. You got

618
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,519
to take everybody off the floor at the end of

619
00:34:41,559 --> 00:34:45,280
the game. So I could see it from the Utah

620
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,159
standpoint in those two ways, maybe the Clippers don't come

621
00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:52,159
out of the gate rolling, or maybe they're up big

622
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,960
at the end and they don't keep their foot on

623
00:34:55,079 --> 00:34:57,360
the gas and they give everybody you know limited, you know,

624
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:02,840
twenty nine to thirty minutes. The problem is Utah going

625
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,079
to play enough defense for me? And I will add

626
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,239
to it a little bit because you talked about Kessler

627
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,719
protecting the room, which he does. Kyle Philapowski is extremely

628
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,920
scrappy player too. Watching him in Summer League, he was

629
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,920
their best player by far and away, scoring thirty plus

630
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,840
a night, making all kinds of plays. But Nurkic as

631
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,559
a backup center, is a pretty good rim protector too.

632
00:35:26,599 --> 00:35:30,639
He doesn't provide you too much offensively, but they do

633
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,239
have a little bit of rim protection there. So we'll

634
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,280
see Walter Clayton Junior, the rookie from Florida who we

635
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,760
all remember when they won the national title's. We'll see

636
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,320
how he debuts here in the NBA. But he's another

637
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,119
one that can put up points instantly. Utah is full

638
00:35:45,159 --> 00:35:47,559
of those types of guys. Generally, Utah you like to

639
00:35:47,599 --> 00:35:52,159
play their home games over. Maybe I could see that here,

640
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,719
or maybe you could even see a Utah team total

641
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,519
over to avoid any blowout situation. I'm looking right now, Ski.

642
00:35:58,559 --> 00:36:00,199
Their number is one oh seven and a half. After

643
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,760
to ask Utah to get to one o eight it's

644
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,079
possible I haven't played, but just a thought there with Utah.

645
00:36:07,119 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I must have been thinking wrong here, Rober,

646
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:13,320
you know, because these numbers are not reflecting what I

647
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,400
thought about Utah from last season. Utah has a home

648
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:23,159
dog of eight plus or nine hs, I don't know,

649
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,920
So I don't know. Maybe I'm I was thinking of

650
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,000
something else. But when I do think about the games,

651
00:36:29,079 --> 00:36:32,239
looking at the rosters and just a situation. You know,

652
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,599
we talked about a bunch of young guys versus guys

653
00:36:36,639 --> 00:36:41,239
with walkers and tennis balls on them. I kind of

654
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:42,440
like that Utah man.

655
00:36:44,639 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 2: With the tennis balls on them. That's priceless. Yeah, that

656
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,239
might be an old cool There's probably a bunch of

657
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,719
overs in those home games, though, Ski I think with Utah,

658
00:36:59,119 --> 00:37:01,039
I'm trying to remember off the top of my head.

659
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,079
Speaker 1: You know, that pops in my head, But now I

660
00:37:04,159 --> 00:37:06,480
think about it, maybe because I'm not in school anymore,

661
00:37:06,679 --> 00:37:08,639
But it was like when I was younger in school,

662
00:37:08,639 --> 00:37:10,400
you used to see the walk through the tennis balls

663
00:37:10,519 --> 00:37:13,159
or something. I don't know. I don't know, I don't know.

664
00:37:14,159 --> 00:37:21,480
All right, let's keep going. Man Spurs and Mavericks five

665
00:37:22,639 --> 00:37:25,880
four open minus two and a half for Dallas, still

666
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,800
sitting at two and a half total open two twenty

667
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,000
four and a half. Seen it as low as two

668
00:37:32,079 --> 00:37:32,679
twenty three.

669
00:37:32,559 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 2: And a half.

670
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:39,079
Speaker 1: Injury report, no Kyrie, no Exum, and then you have

671
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:45,519
Daffort doubtful for Dallas. For the Spurs Darren Fox, Kelly

672
00:37:45,559 --> 00:37:52,519
olynnok Sohan and then Waters look like they're all out

673
00:37:55,800 --> 00:38:00,280
being no first thing to me in this one. When

674
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,920
you look at the injury report, I feel like you're

675
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,840
missing I mean, you're missing two point guards for this

676
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,920
Dallas team. You're also missing a star point guard for

677
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:16,320
this Spurs team. Slot playmaking and scoring gone. You think

678
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,880
about this Dallas team, I mean, they do have Dansel

679
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,199
Rustier run the show still, But I'm just saying you

680
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,320
got a lot, a lot of bigs, a lot of defense.

681
00:38:26,639 --> 00:38:30,880
They were a good defensive team last year. I think

682
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,920
that will continue more than anything, like, I think we

683
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:38,599
can trust Dallas come out here and be good defensively. Spurs,

684
00:38:39,519 --> 00:38:41,800
as long as Wimby's on the court, they're going to

685
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:45,519
have a solid defense as well. So I think this

686
00:38:45,679 --> 00:38:49,119
is more of an undergame. I agree with the line

687
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:54,320
slightly going down here. Yeah, I just I think in general,

688
00:38:54,679 --> 00:38:57,039
mass games are going to be lower scoring this season,

689
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,280
so under two twenty four and a half is direction

690
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,559
I'm looking here. How do you see it?

691
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like the best direction to look ski

692
00:39:06,559 --> 00:39:09,400
because trying to play side here is difficult. I probably

693
00:39:09,519 --> 00:39:16,079
leaned Dallas and Dallas. The roster was built for nights

694
00:39:16,199 --> 00:39:18,800
like this when Daniel Gafford can't go, because there are

695
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,519
so many bigs on the floor for Dallas that if

696
00:39:22,599 --> 00:39:25,039
one's going to be missing, it doesn't matter. There's four

697
00:39:25,159 --> 00:39:29,440
more to take his place to Anthony Davis, Derek Lively, PJ. Washington,

698
00:39:29,519 --> 00:39:32,719
Cooper Flag, et cetera, et cetera. And in the preseason

699
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,280
they did something interesting. They played Cooper flag at point

700
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:39,760
guard quite a bit. So you're probably gonna is.

701
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: That belief in Cooper flag or is that disbelief in Russell?

702
00:39:44,079 --> 00:39:46,199
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna play Russell, but they're gonna use

703
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,199
flag to you know, take some minutes off of him,

704
00:39:50,599 --> 00:39:52,920
which was interesting watching him. You know, I think that

705
00:39:53,039 --> 00:39:55,719
teams probably would try to blitz him and the you know,

706
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,000
there's a regular season gets here. There wasn't a lot

707
00:39:58,039 --> 00:40:00,360
of that going on the preseason games that I but

708
00:40:01,519 --> 00:40:04,840
Flag is a guy who Jason Kidd believes can play

709
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:11,639
one through five size and versatility. He has it ad

710
00:40:12,039 --> 00:40:14,840
Derek Lively. Like I say, there's a lot of defense there,

711
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,119
there's some decent offense as well. The other side. Castle

712
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,280
is so much more of a two guard than a point.

713
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,239
I think that between he and Vassell, Devin Vassell, they

714
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,760
may have a more difficulty. And they have Dylan Harper too.

715
00:40:28,079 --> 00:40:31,440
To me, Dylan Harper handler of all right, he might

716
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:31,960
be the best.

717
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:33,599
Speaker 1: He looks like his daddy.

718
00:40:36,079 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 2: That was a good ballplayer. So they've got they've got

719
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,199
answers too. But it's not the Aaron Fox like you

720
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,239
mentioned for sure. I'm with you. There's a ton of

721
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,559
Rimp protection in this game, and I don't know that

722
00:40:49,639 --> 00:40:52,760
there's a lot of up and down track meet style play.

723
00:40:53,159 --> 00:40:55,840
I don't think Jason Kidd wants that for forty eight minutes.

724
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,360
I think they'll do it in spurts. I'm not so

725
00:40:58,559 --> 00:41:02,400
sure this Spurs want it with the current lineup without Fox.

726
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,559
I think with Deer and Fox can comes back, there'll

727
00:41:04,599 --> 00:41:07,000
be a lot quicker teams. So maybe under two twenty

728
00:41:07,039 --> 00:41:08,079
four and a half is a solid.

729
00:41:08,119 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: Look all right, I like it. I like it. I

730
00:41:12,039 --> 00:41:16,199
am on it. Actually all right, Sons and Kings. Oh man,

731
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,360
I'm gonna have some fun with this one on Maybe

732
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,239
I'll take it easy. It's the first game of the season.

733
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:24,840
But five twenty five, five twenty six opened up Phoenix

734
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,000
minus one and a half. Now see Phoenix minus four

735
00:41:28,159 --> 00:41:29,599
four and a half. I don't know many times we're

736
00:41:29,599 --> 00:41:34,400
gonna see that this season. Total open two twenty eight

737
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,159
and a half looks like two twenty nine. Who is

738
00:41:37,159 --> 00:41:43,760
available here? Let's see. So we have Grayson Allen probable,

739
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:49,719
Jalen Green not available here for Sacramento, the bonus out,

740
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:56,800
Keegan Murray out, Isaac Jones out. So that's some key

741
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:02,880
players mission here for both sides. Yeah, this is I

742
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:07,719
mean Veno. This is very very simple for me. I

743
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,559
don't think I've ever had a team on the hell

744
00:42:09,639 --> 00:42:12,360
no list before the season starts. But if there was

745
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,880
a team, it's one thousand gonna be the Sacramento Kings.

746
00:42:16,199 --> 00:42:19,079
I mean, we've seen this. How many times have we?

747
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,639
Is this the Chicago Bulls or the Sacramento Kings, Like

748
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,559
we've seen enough of xactly. Levine and Demarta Rosen this

749
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,000
is not gonna work. You look at the rest of

750
00:42:28,039 --> 00:42:31,639
the roster. I mean, when you're gonna be banking on

751
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,599
and you know, the banking on Westbrook to come here

752
00:42:34,639 --> 00:42:37,400
and play some minutes as well. I mean, this is

753
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,960
a disaster. If I see Westbrook, Levine, and DeRozan on

754
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,360
the floor at the same time, I'm gonna lie. But

755
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,320
the other side for that that quarter, like, I just

756
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,960
don't think that's good basketball being played. I have zero

757
00:42:49,119 --> 00:42:53,000
belief in the Sacramento Kings. I don't necessarily love the Suns,

758
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:57,599
but I think they'll be better than Sacramento. So Aleen

759
00:42:57,679 --> 00:42:59,920
Phoenix here, how you see it?

760
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,760
Speaker 2: A couple of things to add to where you were

761
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:07,039
going with that. Can you imagine and I haven't kind

762
00:43:07,079 --> 00:43:12,159
of in parentheses here, Zach Levine, DeMar DeRozan, and Malik

763
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,199
Monk all on the floor at the same time. They're

764
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:15,920
going to be grabbing the ball out of each other's

765
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:20,039
hands to shoot shots. It's just not and Dennis Shrewder

766
00:43:20,159 --> 00:43:25,440
running the whole show. It's just not something that would

767
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,000
appear to be cohesive or fluid. These guys are playing

768
00:43:28,039 --> 00:43:30,840
together well. I guess Levin and DeRozan have played together

769
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,679
in a different uniform, but you get what I'm saying.

770
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,280
In this starting five, I think the injuries for Sacramento

771
00:43:36,679 --> 00:43:39,159
is what pushes me towards Phoenix. They're so small that

772
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,599
Damar is going to have to play power forward tonight.

773
00:43:41,679 --> 00:43:44,159
They're going to squeeze all those guys into the starting lineup.

774
00:43:44,559 --> 00:43:48,320
All their size is basically gone when you don't have

775
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,920
some bonus. When you don't have Keegan Murray that's your

776
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,440
starting center and power forward, and then you don't have

777
00:43:53,559 --> 00:43:56,719
your backup power forward, Isaac Jones. All that's left here

778
00:43:57,639 --> 00:43:59,400
from what I see on the roster is Drew you

779
00:43:59,559 --> 00:44:04,079
Banks probably the starter tonight, Dario Sarich that's not good

780
00:44:04,199 --> 00:44:07,639
enough to play the Dylan Brooks, Ryan Dunn, and Mark Williams.

781
00:44:08,519 --> 00:44:12,320
Mark Williams will protect the rim for sure. Those four

782
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,760
guys ski in the Phoenix lineup. And again this is

783
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:21,760
another head coach and in fact ownership which during the

784
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:27,280
offseason preached toughness, gotta be more physical, So they bring

785
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:31,280
in these guys. Grayson Allen, we know he'll kick you

786
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:36,199
for sure. Dylan Brooks will fight you. Ryan Dunn was

787
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,400
proved to be a really good defensive player, Mark Williams

788
00:44:38,519 --> 00:44:41,800
is a rim protector, so they've got size and physicality

789
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,480
that Sacramento doesn't have. I would have to lean Phoenix

790
00:44:45,559 --> 00:44:49,119
in its debut game here. I don't like laying four

791
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:55,599
with Phoenix, that's for sure. But yeah, I can't see

792
00:44:55,599 --> 00:44:57,320
Betton Sacramento. Let's put it that way.

793
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,519
Speaker 1: No way you cover, says Hell. I know before the

794
00:45:00,559 --> 00:45:01,760
season starts as crazy.

795
00:45:03,639 --> 00:45:09,039
Speaker 2: I mean you Fox and Sabonis get back right, No

796
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:10,639
excuse me to.

797
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean shout out to my guard. I missed

798
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,199
his comment earlier. I meant to bring it up. He said,

799
00:45:22,679 --> 00:45:26,480
what up? Boys? NBA is back? Then he says, with

800
00:45:26,599 --> 00:45:34,280
the injury, bullshit, we were talking about it, Ronald Ryan,

801
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,559
I'm curious why the bottom of coke is a flex?

802
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,440
Is it because it's good? I mean, I just happened

803
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,440
to like Coca Cola, and I think the glass coke

804
00:45:43,559 --> 00:45:48,960
is the best one. That's all, all right? Drew Ski says,

805
00:45:49,079 --> 00:45:52,760
where's the defense for the Suns? I trust Mark Williams

806
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,559
to protect the paint more than Drew you Banks, I

807
00:45:55,679 --> 00:45:59,000
trust Ryan Done. I trust Dylan Brooks to play defense

808
00:45:59,039 --> 00:46:02,880
more than Zactlyn Demarto Rosen. I mean, yeah, we're talking

809
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,239
about Drew Ski. What were talking about bro?

810
00:46:06,039 --> 00:46:08,039
Speaker 2: And we just listed them all four.

811
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 1: Hopefully I don't slander this. I'm gonna just say TM

812
00:46:14,559 --> 00:46:16,559
just because I'm unsure how to pronounce the first name.

813
00:46:16,679 --> 00:46:18,000
I think I know, but I don't want to mess

814
00:46:18,039 --> 00:46:22,320
it up. TM says, make sure you guys are pressing

815
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,000
the like button and sharing the live. I appreciate it.

816
00:46:25,159 --> 00:46:28,199
Definitely does help out the show and let's you know,

817
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,639
maybe less some people at what you're talking. No, you know,

818
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,599
this show is all right. It doesn't need to be cut.

819
00:46:34,039 --> 00:46:36,639
It's all okay, you know, so I appreciate it if

820
00:46:36,639 --> 00:46:42,079
you guys can do that. Gary says, always Coca Cola,

821
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,760
Absolutely all right. We finally made it to the last

822
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,159
game on the slate, Rob. You know, I thought we

823
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:53,320
never would, but somehow we're here. Five twenty eight Minnesota

824
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:57,360
and Portland opened up minus three for Minnesota. Looks like

825
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,920
current number is four or four and a half tot

826
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,039
to open to eighteen and a half and it looks

827
00:47:03,079 --> 00:47:07,920
like two twenty one and a half right now, let

828
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:13,960
me refresh. Anthony Edwards was listed as questionable, still listed

829
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,519
as questionable for the Blazers. We know there's no Lillard.

830
00:47:18,159 --> 00:47:21,880
There's also no Scoop and then time Lord looks like

831
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,239
he's out. Man, he's how many How long is he

832
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:30,719
gonna last in the league. He's always hurt, all right, Rob?

833
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:35,239
You know so, I've been kind of torn on this game.

834
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,360
I'm a big Drew Holiday fan in general. When Drew

835
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,960
Holliday went to the Bucks, I was very I said,

836
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,679
the Bucks can win, They're gonna win. I put a

837
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,880
ticket on the Bucks to win. I go to the

838
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,159
Celtics take over there and when he's just a winning player,

839
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,719
everything about him, everything he does. Portland is not expected

840
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:53,880
to win a whole lot of games, but Drew Holliday

841
00:47:53,960 --> 00:48:01,119
should make them better cleaning. I like him to protect

842
00:48:01,159 --> 00:48:05,079
the paint, you know, good shot, locker, big guy. I

843
00:48:05,199 --> 00:48:06,840
kind of I don't know. I'm not gonna say they're

844
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,039
the same, but in that regard, I'm looking at clinging

845
00:48:09,119 --> 00:48:11,519
and go Bear the same. I think there's going to

846
00:48:11,559 --> 00:48:14,599
be some pain protection in this game. I think that

847
00:48:15,119 --> 00:48:17,320
the Timberwolves have proved to us that they're a really

848
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,559
good defensive team. Drew Holliday should help make the Portland's

849
00:48:21,559 --> 00:48:26,000
defense better. I want to buck the line move from

850
00:48:26,039 --> 00:48:28,039
two eighteen and a half to twenty one and a half.

851
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,239
I think it's more of an undergame.

852
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:30,519
Speaker 2: And.

853
00:48:33,599 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: If I have to say anything about the side, I

854
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:41,679
would probably trust. I would probably play Portland for a

855
00:48:42,039 --> 00:48:45,440
first quarter here, and you know, if ethnic everas out,

856
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,199
that's amazing. But it's just like what I like the

857
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,199
starting lineup for this Portland team. I don't know how

858
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,519
much I like everybody else. So that's how I'm seeing

859
00:48:53,599 --> 00:48:57,880
this game, either under or Portland early currently. How do

860
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,679
you see it, Robio, Well.

861
00:49:00,559 --> 00:49:03,159
Speaker 2: I couldn't bet it under until I know if Anthony

862
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,679
Edwards is going to play or not. If he's in

863
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,639
the game, it makes it hard because Minnesota's got the

864
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:14,159
ability to explode offensively. What I do like and what

865
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,679
I played a lot last year, and I continually say

866
00:49:17,639 --> 00:49:20,880
that I don't play a lot of props. But Donovan

867
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,519
Klingon was a guy ski when Robert Williams was out

868
00:49:23,519 --> 00:49:25,880
of the lineup, which he is tonight. Donovan Klington was

869
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,159
a guy who used to lean on for his for

870
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:32,079
his points plus rebounds or for just his rebounds because

871
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,719
he he can. You know, he's the only guy really

872
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,920
that can get those for that team, and even against Gobert.

873
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,440
I think his rebounds here are in play, perhaps his points.

874
00:49:42,639 --> 00:49:44,840
Love what you said about Drew Holliday. I think everybody

875
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,079
knows we're not going out on a limb telling people

876
00:49:47,159 --> 00:49:50,400
that he's, you know, an all star type defender. And

877
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,760
you know, when you look at the scoring available on Portland,

878
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:58,400
it just looks like a lower scoring team, especially against

879
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,320
this defense. So two twenty one to me, he seems

880
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,199
really high. The only reason I couldn't get there yet

881
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,599
is because I don't know the status of Edwards. If

882
00:50:04,679 --> 00:50:07,480
he plays, it probably changes the whole complexion of everything.

883
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,599
He's that good. We know he's that good, so I

884
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,239
laid off for now, but we'll see what the injury

885
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,360
report gives us a couple hours from that.

886
00:50:16,559 --> 00:50:20,039
Speaker 1: All Right, it sounds like a plan. U Kapper says,

887
00:50:20,079 --> 00:50:25,039
this is a fishy line on the side. I mean, yeah,

888
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,079
maybe not so fishy as if Anthony Edwards doesn't play,

889
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,960
it might make a little bit of sense there. We

890
00:50:31,039 --> 00:50:37,880
shall see over jam Rock kicks absolutely over on injury

891
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:42,760
report updates. G Q Hustler asking for help on the

892
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,039
total in the Cleveland, New York game. It's the first

893
00:50:45,079 --> 00:50:47,760
game we talked about so let's scroll back to the

894
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,559
beginning of the show and you get your answer there.

895
00:50:53,599 --> 00:50:55,559
All right, you know, that's all the games for today.

896
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,559
I think we did ahead of a job we talked about.

897
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,519
I didn't count. It's either eleven or twelve games, it

898
00:51:00,559 --> 00:51:02,920
felt like, and we did it in fifty one minutes,

899
00:51:03,039 --> 00:51:09,119
So good job by us. All right, before we move

900
00:51:09,199 --> 00:51:11,920
the best bets, we can do a little bit of

901
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,679
some kind of promo here. What do we want to

902
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,880
toss on the screen today? Robo for one, let me

903
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:19,360
ask you, do you know, off the top of your head,

904
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:24,599
if the Opening Week thing is still going yes, okay,

905
00:51:24,639 --> 00:51:25,400
so we'll put that up.

906
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:26,119
Speaker 2: Yep.

907
00:51:26,599 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 1: If you guys want to rock with Robino and myself,

908
00:51:29,559 --> 00:51:31,559
you can get involved with the NBA. Opening Week comes

909
00:51:31,599 --> 00:51:34,800
out to ten dollars a day. Yeah, you get every

910
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:38,360
play we release, and I'm not gonna lie. I'm I'm

911
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:41,800
looking to probably load up by by two pm. I'm

912
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,280
probably gonna have a very very large card today. But yeah,

913
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,119
a good way to get involved with both of us.

914
00:51:48,119 --> 00:51:51,239
This one. I'm gonna shout out more for Robino just

915
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:55,960
because he absolutely killed the NFL last last week seventy

916
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:57,639
and one. He did, and you can get all those

917
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:03,239
releases Saturdays Monday for just forty nine dollars. Everything on

918
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:07,079
the in football, and if you wanted to be involved

919
00:52:07,119 --> 00:52:09,760
with myself, I do have a top play for Thursday

920
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,039
night on Top Plays are seven and four this season,

921
00:52:12,559 --> 00:52:16,639
and I'm looking at a couple more, a couple more

922
00:52:16,679 --> 00:52:21,159
this weekend. You know I think that is good? No,

923
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,440
one more, one more? How about this? I never put

924
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,639
this up. Let's see if we can do a little

925
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:28,920
something with this. If you're a person who wants to

926
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:32,480
do something more long term, you can put up all right,

927
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,360
I'm sorry. You can take advantage of the one year past.

928
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,760
You'll get five hundred bucks off and it comes out

929
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:38,559
to just one hundred and twenty five dollars a month.

930
00:52:38,679 --> 00:52:41,599
It's every sport, every single play. And not only do

931
00:52:41,639 --> 00:52:44,079
you get that, you get a twenty five percent bonus coupon.

932
00:52:44,159 --> 00:52:45,800
So if you want to rock with Robno for a year,

933
00:52:46,039 --> 00:52:48,519
you can do that, get that bonuskeupon you want to

934
00:52:48,519 --> 00:52:50,880
come check ski out, you know that will work out too.

935
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:55,920
And yeah, for a guy like myself, I told you

936
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:59,320
already my uh my top players in the NFL or winning,

937
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:03,159
you're such my teasers are undefeated this season. WNBA will

938
00:53:03,199 --> 00:53:06,360
be included in that past two seasons ended in profit.

939
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,119
There you'll get NBA et cetera, et cetera, and rob

940
00:53:09,599 --> 00:53:12,280
If you haven't noticed, he knows everything and does everything,

941
00:53:12,639 --> 00:53:16,000
so you can get Robino too. All right, Veno, if

942
00:53:16,039 --> 00:53:18,440
there's anything else you would like to add or promote,

943
00:53:18,679 --> 00:53:21,760
feel free. If you have a best bet for the show,

944
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:23,280
we'd love to hear it. And if you do not,

945
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:25,039
it's all good.

946
00:53:26,559 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 2: Just the last promo you put up there, Ski, just

947
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,639
looking at the numbers, that's four dollars a day for

948
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,960
a year. It's kind of they've done a great job

949
00:53:36,039 --> 00:53:39,880
at discounting that year long package. So again, like Ski said,

950
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:41,320
for those of you who are in it for the

951
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,599
duration and you do this every single day, the way

952
00:53:43,639 --> 00:53:46,159
we do could be the way to go. Let's go

953
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:49,880
to best bets real quick here, and I'm gonna go

954
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,719
to the Washington Milwaukee game. Ski. We talked about it

955
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,599
and when I looked at the side, I was like,

956
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:58,840
you know, lay ten with Glenn. No way, We're not

957
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,960
going to lay ten with Glenn. But what we could

958
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,239
do is bet on that team to score points tonight

959
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:05,519
and I think they will. I think they get to

960
00:54:05,599 --> 00:54:10,119
one twenty plus. The matchup screams points for Milwaukee against

961
00:54:10,199 --> 00:54:13,840
the poor defense of Washington. So give me that for tonight.

962
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:18,159
Best bet Milwaukee team total full game over one eighteen

963
00:54:18,199 --> 00:54:18,599
and a half.

964
00:54:19,599 --> 00:54:21,199
Speaker 1: I like that. That makes a lot of sense to

965
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:25,599
me and for myself. Let's see, let's let's pick and choose.

966
00:54:27,119 --> 00:54:28,880
I am gonna go with. I want to give you

967
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:30,559
guys a number. You can get the same thing that

968
00:54:30,679 --> 00:54:34,079
I took, so that that makes it easy actually because

969
00:54:34,159 --> 00:54:40,239
total line has already moved, so we'll go best bet

970
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,119
Dallas and San Antonio. You can still get two twenty

971
00:54:45,159 --> 00:54:48,559
four and a half to the under. You know, like

972
00:54:48,639 --> 00:54:51,679
I said, you're missing some point guard play from both sides.

973
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,440
We know how good of defensive team as were last year.

974
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:56,960
There are a lot of pain protection, a lot of bigs,

975
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:58,559
a lot of length. They're going to be really good

976
00:54:58,599 --> 00:55:01,599
on defense again this year. And I mean you got

977
00:55:01,679 --> 00:55:03,840
the clear defensive player of the year as long as

978
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,960
he plays enough games holding down the paint for the

979
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,920
San Antonio Spurs. So I think that under two twenty

980
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:11,880
four and a half is a solid pick for the

981
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:16,559
best bet on the show. You know, it's been great

982
00:55:16,639 --> 00:55:19,960
breaking down these games with you, talking them out with

983
00:55:20,079 --> 00:55:22,920
you helps my process tremendously. I'm sure it helps out

984
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:26,679
everybody else as well. Everybody in the chat, we appreciate

985
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,840
you too. Great cappers, great people, and you know how

986
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:31,400
we do here, man, We're all just trying to help

987
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,239
each other win, so I'm always going to let you

988
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,000
know you appreciate it. To everybody who is maybe not

989
00:55:36,159 --> 00:55:39,960
