1 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,599 Speaker 1: What's up, y'all? Welcome into another episode of Profit Picks. 2 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,080 If you are new, we do always start the show 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,519 by being transparent. Yesterday I went seven and seven. My 4 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,759 top play did win, but I ended up just doing 5 00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:19,480 a little bit too much. You know. Good to be 6 00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:22,320 back with you. How you doing today? How is everything 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:22,600 for you? 8 00:00:24,519 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 2: Yesterday was at a little loss here Ski. We had 9 00:00:27,879 --> 00:00:30,280 one and one in college basketball? Boy, oh boy, it 10 00:00:30,399 --> 00:00:33,640 just shows you. I had Miami of Ohio team total 11 00:00:33,679 --> 00:00:36,119 over eighty six and a half with the kid on 12 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,920 the free throw line to ice the game. They landed 13 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,960 on eighty six, and so we lost that one, but 14 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,359 we won the other one with Alabama last nineteen total 15 00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:49,399 over NBA was not good, Oho, and to the play 16 00:00:49,439 --> 00:00:53,200 I left here for the chat Utah and the Clippers 17 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,159 over never really got close. First quarter was bad. It 18 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:02,840 never got close. And I also had the first half 19 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,400 team total yesterday thinking that maybe they'd get up big 20 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,599 and then pull back the reins because they have a 21 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,719 back to back tonight. But they were never close to 22 00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:14,680 that either. So we got to make up some ground 23 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,760 here in the NBA tonight. 24 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: All right, We got a lot of games to try 25 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,200 to do that. With I'll tell you that. So we'll 26 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,319 start at the top. We'll go in rotation order like 27 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,439 we always do. That means Lakers and Calves opened up 28 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,439 minus two and a half for the Calves looks like 29 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,239 three total, not really moving too much. Reeves and Theero 30 00:01:35,519 --> 00:01:39,439 are listed as out. Marrow is probable, Hunter is probable. 31 00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:49,760 Both Garland, Mobley and Struce are out. It's Lakers team. 32 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,079 I mean, this seems like an overgame, rob you know, 33 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,480 I still don't trust the Lakers defense, you know, and 34 00:01:55,519 --> 00:01:59,319 then you minus Mobley from the Cavaliers and add Merrow. 35 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,760 I mean, and that seems like less defense, more offense. 36 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,400 To me, I would lean towards over. No, I probably 37 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,840 have to pull you on too hard to get you 38 00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:09,680 to lean that direction. What are you thinking here? 39 00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:13,439 Speaker 2: No, because everything you just said were my first exact 40 00:02:13,479 --> 00:02:15,879 thoughts when I bet this one over two thirty five 41 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,800 and a half. Yeah, it just makes too much sense 42 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,520 right at Cleveland, even without Garland, Donovan Mitchell has been 43 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,400 able to score without Mobiley. We get it, they lose 44 00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:31,000 some offensive production, but we know that they lose rim protection, 45 00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:35,120 they lose defense against the Lakers, and then when you 46 00:02:35,159 --> 00:02:38,039 bring Meryl back I don't know. We read the quote 47 00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:40,319 from Kenny Atkinson last week, the head coach. He said, 48 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,759 we need samback. You're gonna get him back now. He's 49 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,599 been out a little bit, so sometimes you wonder will 50 00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:50,000 he come back and just pick up where he left off. 51 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,199 But he is such a pure shooter that I kind 52 00:02:52,199 --> 00:02:56,159 of feel like he will against this particular defense. Funny 53 00:02:56,159 --> 00:03:00,159 that Mobley goes out, Merrill comes in and this line 54 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,199 goes up from two and a half to three and 55 00:03:02,199 --> 00:03:04,319 a half. You would think Evan Mobley's the bigger name 56 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,319 that maybe that would move the line more than Sam 57 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,960 Merrill would. But seems to me like people understand what 58 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,120 we're talking about here. I really like the over there. 59 00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:17,840 I think the Lakers can score. The Cavs haven't shown 60 00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:20,759 the ability to stop teams all year long for the 61 00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:23,879 most part, and without Evan Mobley it's just less of 62 00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:26,599 a defensive team. So give me over two thirty five 63 00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:30,240 and a half there, Ski, Yeah, that's Casey's on. 64 00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:35,919 Speaker 1: It all right. I like some props in this game, though, 65 00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:41,680 I think I think I like Ruy and his role. 66 00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:49,400 I don't like Ayden the fade aiden and yeah, I'm 67 00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:52,919 you know, somebody mentioned something to me about if they 68 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,639 said they saw an article where Reeves might be how 69 00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:03,039 do I say Reeves might be like upgraded to play today? 70 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:04,639 Speaker 2: Oh? 71 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: And I'm like they better not if I'm taking some 72 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:14,039 props in this game. But that would be that? Would 73 00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:16,480 that would that make you like the over more? Would 74 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,439 that mess up your handicap? Just curious? 75 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: It would kind of be Well, it wouldn't mess it up. 76 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,199 I'm not coming from a prop standpoint either. I'm just 77 00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:26,279 coming from straight over. I would I would repeat what 78 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,079 I said about Sam maryl. We don't know that Austin 79 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,519 Reeves is going to come in and just start scoring points. 80 00:04:31,519 --> 00:04:33,839 He's been out for an extended period of time, but 81 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,360 we know how important he is to that team, and 82 00:04:37,399 --> 00:04:40,519 I wouldn't discount him adding a little more offense, maybe 83 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,040 not what he normally does, but it wouldn't change my handicap. 84 00:04:44,079 --> 00:04:47,319 Ski I'm trying to find right here now, he's still listening. 85 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,199 Speaker 1: He's listened out. But we've seen this in the NBA. 86 00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:55,879 So I was just asking, all right, we could keep 87 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:02,360 going bulls in Indiana. This is another one. Well, it 88 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,519 opened for one, It opened minus to Indiana and flipped 89 00:05:05,519 --> 00:05:07,759 to minus two or two and a half Chicago, but 90 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,720 also total came down from two thirty six as long 91 00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:12,800 as two thirty four and a half. You have Tredy 92 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,079 Jones and Zach Collins out, you have Walker questionable topping 93 00:05:17,079 --> 00:05:22,439 out for the Pacers. Well, no, maybe I shouldn't. Maybe 94 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,439 they know something I don't know, but the Pacers are 95 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,639 pretty healthy right now. I think they should be able 96 00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:30,560 to start scoring points. And the Bulls haven't had a 97 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,360 whole lot of trouble scoring points except for that last one. 98 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,240 Or no, they still they got the team total. Yeah, 99 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:43,079 they still score. They didn't stop anybody, So I disagree 100 00:05:43,079 --> 00:05:46,399 with they coming down. Any thoughts from you here on 101 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,120 Chicago and. 102 00:05:47,079 --> 00:05:50,319 Speaker 2: Indiana, Yeah, I'm not going to agree with it coming down. 103 00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:53,040 The Bulls team total is seven and two to the 104 00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:57,240 over over the course of their last nine and obviously 105 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,120 neither team has been really good defensively. But Bulls team 106 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,480 totally again here tonight one eighteen and a half the 107 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,759 other side, the other side came down pretty hard, one 108 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,720 eighteen and a half to one sixteen and a half. 109 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,720 So it looks like and obviously in the points spread too, 110 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,279 there's anti Indiana money here for whatever reason. I don't 111 00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:19,079 know that I trust the Bulls defense enough Ski to 112 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,240 go ahead and play them, but I will say this, 113 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,240 I could trust them to outscore Indiana. The way the 114 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,439 Bulls have been We talked about it the other day, 115 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,680 the way the ball is moving around since Josh Giddy 116 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,839 got back, it's been pretty good. And even with the 117 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,279 slow start last game against the Lakers, it's still got 118 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,079 to one eighteen their team total in that game, I 119 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,879 know hit the two forty, So I don't know. I 120 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,199 would kind of disagree with the total movement down as well. 121 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,199 I would almost trust the Bulls to score more than 122 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,639 anything in this game over the one eighteen and a 123 00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:52,720 half their team total. 124 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: All right, going back to the world once more, Hawks 125 00:06:56,439 --> 00:06:59,800 and Celtics opened up minus six. Looks like it's gone 126 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,560 down a little bit. Seeing some five and a half 127 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,399 or starting to go down. See some five and a 128 00:07:04,399 --> 00:07:08,920 halfs there. Total not the most movement there. Let's look 129 00:07:08,959 --> 00:07:12,720 at some of these injuries. Kada has been ruled out 130 00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:19,920 for Zingis and Risa che both remain now for Atlanta. Uh. 131 00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:22,879 You know, I was thinking about Sam Hauser here in 132 00:07:22,959 --> 00:07:25,600 this game points and rebounds, I'm not sure how I 133 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,319 moved with Kate out, but there's still something on my radar. 134 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,160 Other than that, I'd like to think that this is 135 00:07:34,199 --> 00:07:36,079 a game that has a good amount of points as well. 136 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,800 I mean, I'm thinking yesterday under today overs. I guess 137 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,560 as I'm looking at these games, what do you think 138 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:42,879 you're Hawks and Celtics. 139 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd probably be more toward the Hawks here, just 140 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,560 off current form ski Atlanta three and oh straight up 141 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,879 against the number last three Boston. Oh and three straight 142 00:07:55,959 --> 00:07:59,360 up against the number last three. Boston's been streaky and 143 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,560 until they come out of it, I would probably try 144 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,639 to look the other way. It's it's kind of in 145 00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:08,519 that range where it's hard to take Atlanta with only 146 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,720 five and a half because they're still Atlanta, but the 147 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,680 way Boston's playing right now just hasn't been the best qualities. 148 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,480 So and I feel like Boston, We've said it before, 149 00:08:21,519 --> 00:08:25,199 but if they're really not making threes, they're not gonna 150 00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:28,399 win by margins. So we'll see if Atlanta's recent run 151 00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:33,080 here against it was done against Memphis Phoenix in Indiana, 152 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,000 Indiana the other night to beat by sixteen, Phoenix by seven, 153 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,399 Grizzlies by two, Grizzlies ran a back to back there, 154 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,399 but I still wouldn't like Boston here. I think if 155 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,200 I had to play and I didn't, I would probably 156 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,960 play Atlanta. 157 00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:51,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I like what you said about Boston has been streaky, 158 00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:55,759 because they absolutely have. I agree with that. We'll keep 159 00:08:55,799 --> 00:08:57,639 going here down the list. The next one looks like 160 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,919 Magic and Heat. And this one opened minus two and 161 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,879 a half. I'm seeing three and a halfs out there. 162 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,120 Total went up a little bit from two twenty eight 163 00:09:09,159 --> 00:09:10,919 and a half to about two thirty and a half. 164 00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:15,320 You have Castleton and Franz Wagner out. We have Powell 165 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:22,960 probable where questionable, Mitchell doubtful, and then no hero. This 166 00:09:23,039 --> 00:09:25,840 is a chance for the Heat to get a little 167 00:09:25,879 --> 00:09:27,519 bit of revenge. They've had a couple of days off 168 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,600 as well and are coming off of a win. I 169 00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:35,320 forget who they played, though they played, Oh the Suns. 170 00:09:35,759 --> 00:09:39,200 They beat the Sons without a was it without yeah, 171 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,399 without Devin Booker. So put every much stock into that 172 00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:47,720 as you want, I guess, But one thing I will 173 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:54,039 say is I do remember the Heat and they had 174 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,440 like a meeting or something like a team meeting, right, 175 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,759 and Sposter was was chewing bad mountain, some players out 176 00:10:00,159 --> 00:10:01,720 and then the Heat went out there and played a 177 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,120 good game. They went out there on the back to 178 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,360 back and played another good game. I think that was 179 00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:11,159 the game versus Phoenix. So are they going to continue 180 00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:14,600 that now or is you know, all that talk just 181 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:19,519 out the window all right home? Uh? I don't know 182 00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:21,399 if you know. I could see this one going a 183 00:10:21,399 --> 00:10:25,240 couple different ways. How are you seeing it? 184 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,639 Speaker 2: The way I view Miami right now? The way they're 185 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,120 playing Ski, it's hard to play them under. It's hard 186 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,039 to not just wake up in the morning and play 187 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,720 Miami Heat over now. They beat Phoenix at the night 188 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,519 one eleven to one oh two, only two hundred and 189 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,279 thirteen points. Game stayed under the number. I think Miami's 190 00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:44,919 team total still got above the number, but that came 191 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,679 on the heels. It was the fifth of a five 192 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,600 game road trip, and the eight games played before that, 193 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,399 and maybe that OKAC game is the start of the 194 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,200 good run that you were talking about after the meeting. 195 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,279 I can't remember exactly when they had it, but starting 196 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,240 with Oklahoma City, they played eight straight games over two 197 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,720 hundred and thirty points, and it really didn't matter who 198 00:11:06,759 --> 00:11:09,799 was in the lineup. I remember last week saying something 199 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,639 about hero not playing. You're like, I don't care if 200 00:11:12,639 --> 00:11:15,799 your hero ain't playing, Rob Vino. I'm still playing this 201 00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:19,960 game over and it went over. They're just playing that 202 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,320 brand of basketball again, up and down the floor, ninety 203 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,159 four feet and Orlando. I watched them again the other 204 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,879 day against who were they playing, Cleveland. I think they 205 00:11:30,879 --> 00:11:35,120 were beating Cleveland, like in the by halftime or start 206 00:11:35,159 --> 00:11:37,960 a third quarter, and then Cleveland went on this offensive 207 00:11:38,039 --> 00:11:41,720 run where Orlando's it's funny to say they can't defend, 208 00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:46,480 but they can't defend right now. So the only thing 209 00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:48,840 that held me back SKI from playing this game, and 210 00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:52,000 I did play it anyway, regardless over the number. I 211 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,639 got two twenty nine and a half. You're looking at 212 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,240 two thirty now. But the only thing that stopped me 213 00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:59,639 was that these two they're either within a half a 214 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,600 game or a game of each other for the division lead. 215 00:12:04,039 --> 00:12:06,320 So I thought, well, maybe they'll, you know, play a 216 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,279 little more defense, but I think Miami is way too 217 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,720 committed to playing the extreme tempo game. And if you 218 00:12:14,759 --> 00:12:17,559 watch Orlando this year, you're Miami, you gotta believe you 219 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,879 can score one hundred and twenty against them, So I 220 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,000 played over over too twenty nine and a half. Like 221 00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:25,200 I say, it's moved up to two thirty. 222 00:12:25,399 --> 00:12:27,799 Speaker 1: I like to see stuff like this. I'm happy we 223 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:34,000 could be winning. Glad we're helping you win. I appreciate 224 00:12:34,039 --> 00:12:40,039 you trusting us. Yeah, you know, I trust. I trust 225 00:12:40,039 --> 00:12:42,879 the Heat to. I mean played at Brandon Basketball, all 226 00:12:42,919 --> 00:12:44,559 the all that stuff that I said before, and it 227 00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:46,799 had two meetings. It was that thunder game, and it 228 00:12:46,879 --> 00:12:49,279 was another one after they lost to Portland before they 229 00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:51,559 played the Jazz, and then they smoked the Jazz like 230 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:57,399 one forty something to fifteen or sixteen. So they came 231 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,039 back and played another good game, is what I'm saying. 232 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,519 After that verse, Phoenix, I don't really like the thought 233 00:13:02,519 --> 00:13:07,200 of Miami laying points. That's my problem here. I don't 234 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,559 know it just for that reason, I guess I just 235 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:15,600 have to stay off right now. But the Magic, I'm 236 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,799 gonna come back at you Teddy cover style. 237 00:13:19,919 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, Magic. 238 00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:22,759 Speaker 1: I mean they haven't really been putting up any points lately. 239 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,519 It takes to the Tango, right Rovino. I mean, it 240 00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:27,480 can't just be the Heat scoring. Don't the Magic have 241 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:28,559 to put up some points? 242 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 2: They do. And I just attributed to the pace of 243 00:13:31,759 --> 00:13:34,279 the game, Ski, Like, when I play these overs, that 244 00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:36,519 first thing I asked myself, am I going to get 245 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,399 enough scoring opportunities to get this thing over? And the 246 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,320 way Miami plays, you just get I think Miami had 247 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,720 a game a couple of games ago where like they 248 00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:50,120 had one hundred and eight shots at the basket. It's 249 00:13:50,279 --> 00:13:54,159 crazy that the way that they're playing. So I think 250 00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:56,799 I just consider the pace of game will give me 251 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,240 enough chances, you know, to score against Miami. So lets 252 00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:02,360 say the. 253 00:14:03,399 --> 00:14:06,799 Speaker 1: I know what you're looking at. Remember that, Yeah. 254 00:14:06,639 --> 00:14:12,799 Speaker 2: That potential points right, Wake that baby out real quick. 255 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,159 The other thing, Ski, is we do often talk about 256 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,440 first home game off of a long road trip, right, 257 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,600 and it is the first home game for Miami off 258 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,759 a long road trip. They had a day of rest, 259 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,320 but still it is what it is. It is the 260 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,000 first off a long road trip. 261 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, so sorry, maybe if you like the I've been 262 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:38,440 up since like one am. Maybe maybe if you like 263 00:14:38,879 --> 00:14:43,039 the magic, maybe you take them early. Is that I thought, 264 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,240 maybe as a flash spot that heat come out sleeping. 265 00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:52,360 We'll see next game. Nixon Raptors pretty good one here 266 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,360 opened up. Pick them now minus one and a half 267 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,919 to open two twenty six and a half is down 268 00:14:59,039 --> 00:15:03,320 as low as two only and a half. Injury report, 269 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:08,240 you have Heart questionable, McBride and Robinson out, C m 270 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:14,559 B questionable, Yaka Purdle out. These Raptors had two days off, 271 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,200 you know, and the Knicks back to back here, Knicks 272 00:15:19,279 --> 00:15:21,679 have looked like they've tried to come back to life 273 00:15:21,679 --> 00:15:24,559 the last couple of games. But I can't ignore it 274 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:30,200 that the spot does scream Raptors. But I'm going to 275 00:15:30,279 --> 00:15:34,840 ask you this, but absolutely as spot as the Raptors. 276 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,679 I mean a home team with two days off versus 277 00:15:39,679 --> 00:15:41,919 team on the back to back, when'd you think the 278 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,960 spread would be just a little more than one and 279 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:49,399 a half? Like, I don't know, that's that's making me 280 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,759 feel a way that you know, you know how I 281 00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:54,120 get sometimes, Rob, You know I don't like that. 282 00:15:54,559 --> 00:15:58,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, the other direction, run the other What do you think, Rob? 283 00:16:01,399 --> 00:16:05,399 You make a good point. Obviously the number looks low 284 00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:09,279 considering the spot here. One team rested, one team on 285 00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:11,679 back to back. You know, I had the Knicks last night, 286 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,080 like I say, ski first half under the assumption that 287 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,360 they would play hard against Sacramento build their lead. It 288 00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:21,200 never happened. They didn't build their lead until the fourth quarter. 289 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,759 They had a thirty one to fifty, so they had 290 00:16:22,799 --> 00:16:26,399 to extend themselves in the fourth quarter, which makes this 291 00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:29,399 even harder. On a back to back, right, you would 292 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,120 hope that he could have that, Mike Brown could have 293 00:16:32,159 --> 00:16:35,320 pulled players in the fourth quarter because they were doing well, 294 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,399 but he couldn't. They had to absolutely blow Sacramento out late, 295 00:16:39,879 --> 00:16:41,960 which makes the minutes a little more taxing. So I 296 00:16:42,039 --> 00:16:44,879 can understand the point about maybe the number looking a 297 00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:50,320 little bit low. Nicks have played better lately, which you know, 298 00:16:50,519 --> 00:16:52,919 it kind of confuses me a little bit as to 299 00:16:52,919 --> 00:16:55,039 which way to go here. I didn't bet the game, 300 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,919 probably won't bet the game. I'd love to try and 301 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,159 recoup my money from life last night and exploding it 302 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,000 on me, but I don't think I can do it here. 303 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: I mean, neither team is playing with pace. Here. You 304 00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:11,559 have a next team playing really good defense lately, offense 305 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:12,920 not so great. 306 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,039 Speaker 2: I know maybe though right did you say no? 307 00:17:17,519 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: Maybe would hurt the defense, But I still think it's 308 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,640 it's going to be a slower, more defensive game. I 309 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,519 agree with the market dropping the total in this game. 310 00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:27,920 I think this is an undergame at all. Over I 311 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,359 liked earlier. I think this one's one of the undergames. 312 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,319 Speaker 2: Is it the asset end of the liner? Do we 313 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,079 still have room to get in there? 314 00:17:35,319 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: I still think it's gonna make it under two twenty honestly, 315 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,519 I really do. And you can still get to twenty 316 00:17:40,519 --> 00:17:45,079 one and a half. So that's kind of how I'm 317 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,759 looking at that game there, all right, Next one up, 318 00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:53,960 we have Hornets and Grizzlies. Opened up minus one and 319 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,119 a half for the Grizzlies, Flip to minus two for 320 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,400 the Hornets to open two thirty six down as low 321 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,200 as two thirty big move Plumbling and Simpson out for 322 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:07,000 the Hornets. Clark Edie Jerome or Morant and Pippin out 323 00:18:07,079 --> 00:18:17,079 for the Grizzlies. This one. You know, I'm not sure 324 00:18:17,079 --> 00:18:18,680 if the Grizzlies have covered That's what I'm trying to 325 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:23,240 look at here. Since they've come back from overseas, Yeah, 326 00:18:23,279 --> 00:18:29,160 they wont no, no, no, they lost the Rockets, they 327 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,960 lost the Pelicans, they lost to the Hawks, They've lost 328 00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:36,359 every game since they've come back. That's kind of how 329 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,160 I saw it. That's what I said, even though I 330 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,200 didn't play every single one of these games. They didn't 331 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,160 lose them all. I'm not sure that it ends tonight here. 332 00:18:46,559 --> 00:18:50,319 I mean, ah, take a little bit of time for 333 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,000 them to get back in rhythm. It's the third game 334 00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:55,000 in four nights, fourth and six. The Hornets are on 335 00:18:55,079 --> 00:18:57,160 the first of the back to back. They play the Mavericks. 336 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,640 Tomorrow's team, I think is in a pretty solid rhythm. Wow, 337 00:19:02,039 --> 00:19:05,079 the grazz Leaders are kind of the opposite. I think 338 00:19:05,839 --> 00:19:08,880 the line flipped for a good reason. I think the 339 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,759 Hornets deserved to be the favorite in this game. How 340 00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:12,359 do you view it? 341 00:19:14,079 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 2: I'm glad to hear it because I wanted to bet Charlotte, 342 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,359 but I figured I'll come on the show and just 343 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,920 wait and see what we hash out here. But I 344 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,720 think Charlotte's in a really good rhythm right now. Four 345 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,640 and one, straight up, we're not asking him to do 346 00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:28,680 much here. I mean, obviously you would have liked to 347 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,640 have him as a dog just you know, win money line. 348 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,200 But here to win by three against this team, I 349 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,480 don't know. They destroyed Philadelphia the day, bad spot, but 350 00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:39,119 they came out and did what they had to do 351 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,240 win by thirty seven. Beat the Wizards go on the 352 00:19:42,319 --> 00:19:46,720 road crush Orlando. It's been good for them before that 353 00:19:46,799 --> 00:19:50,160 beat Denver. That was at the very end of a 354 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,039 five game road trip, which is pretty impressive that Charlotte, 355 00:19:53,039 --> 00:19:55,720 five games out west, could come up the fifth game 356 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,119 in altitude and beat Denver. So I just like what 357 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,279 Charlotte's doing right now. Ski When I look down their 358 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,319 rotation for tonight, it's becoming a pretty deep team. Like 359 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,359 I'm looking through and saying, can I trust these bench guys? 360 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,920 And Charlotte looks to be getting a little bit better 361 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,599 defensively for sure. They were a terrible defensive team before. 362 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,720 Now they're actually halfway decent, and I know they can 363 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,359 play with pace and score with Memphis. So I kind 364 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,480 of like the Hornets here. 365 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,839 Speaker 1: All right. Yeah, Hornets definitely been playing better basketball for sure. 366 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,720 I do also like do also like Landale in his game. 367 00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:36,599 I think it's a pretty good matchup for him, and 368 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,720 you know, he's been a big part of what they've 369 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,240 been doing in Memphis lately. So that's the one person 370 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,319 I do like for Memphis. Other than that, I think 371 00:20:43,319 --> 00:20:48,240 I like the Horneteer a couple more comments. I think 372 00:20:48,279 --> 00:20:51,079 we're good. I think We're good. Appreciate you. Jay Maine 373 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,559 gave me something for one of the earlier games. I 374 00:20:54,599 --> 00:20:56,640 believe I did write it down. I'll go back and 375 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:02,359 look at it, all right, t Wolves and MAVs opened 376 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,799 up minus seven for the Wolves. Looks like seven and 377 00:21:05,839 --> 00:21:09,160 a half or eight total open two thirty two down 378 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,400 as low as two twenty eight and a half. Let's 379 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:17,079 take a look at the injuries. Terrence Shannon Junior remains 380 00:21:17,079 --> 00:21:20,759 out for the Wolves. You have Cooper Flag questionable. Anthony 381 00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:28,680 Davis and Kyrie obviously both remain out here the Wolves. 382 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,240 I are already gonna turn it around now after that 383 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,759 last game. I mean, they have been playing pretty bad. 384 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,319 They have been a team that has been untrustworthy really 385 00:21:38,319 --> 00:21:41,440 against the spread, and they are on the front end 386 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:46,079 of the back to back. They play Thunder tomorrow, and honestly, 387 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,279 when I see that makes me think that they'll care 388 00:21:48,319 --> 00:21:52,000 a lot more about playing the Thunder tomorrow. So wow, 389 00:21:52,279 --> 00:21:54,319 how do I missed that earlier? I think that may 390 00:21:54,319 --> 00:21:57,240 have made me like Dallas tonight. You know what do 391 00:21:57,279 --> 00:21:57,799 you think here? 392 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 2: Yeah? Everything doing thing. I'm waiting on his flag because 393 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,359 it's kind of one of those I know are wait 394 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,359 your talk colleague, Marco D'Angel LECs to refer to them 395 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,920 as sandwich games. But if you just think, you know, 396 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,880 they crushed Golden State. But let's face it, Steve Kerr 397 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,799 let him win, right, that was the game. We're not 398 00:22:16,799 --> 00:22:18,680 going to play anybody. We don't care. Let's just go home. 399 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,720 We won the game before, so they get that win 400 00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:25,119 that they're supposed to get. Now they play this Dallas 401 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,359 team and then they have Okac on deck. And when 402 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,480 I saw Okaycy on deck, this when the same reaction 403 00:22:29,559 --> 00:22:33,319 as you like Minnesota, even if I have to back 404 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,400 door it at the end of the fourth quarter because 405 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,000 Minnesota has got people on the bench, I really don't care. 406 00:22:40,039 --> 00:22:41,519 But I don't even see it that way. I think 407 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:46,880 Dallas can play competitive basketball here. And we use the 408 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,440 word a lot, but you used it again not trustworthy 409 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,079 with the Minnesota team because they just don't defend all 410 00:22:55,079 --> 00:22:58,960 that well anymore. So Dallas is what they are. But 411 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,160 one thing I know when I watched him, Jason Kidd 412 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,119 still has those guys playing. I would love to have 413 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,920 flag here. If we get them, it's probably an even 414 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,920 better play. Of course, we'll lose a little bit of 415 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,359 line value. But I think Dallas is the right side 416 00:23:12,519 --> 00:23:16,279 strictly situational ski really nothing more than situational, and maybe 417 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,440 a shade bit fundamental from the perspective that Minnesota is 418 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,240 just not playing good enough d to ask them to 419 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,160 win by a huge margin, unless you know you do 420 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,400 with Steve Current. Just you play guys nine through fourteen today, 421 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:32,200 That's what you. 422 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: Got man, Steve Kurr boy, I don't know what happened 423 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,400 to him. Was this team just so good that he 424 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,359 couldn't make mistakes earlier in his career coaching career, or 425 00:23:43,519 --> 00:23:46,920 has he gotten worse? I don't know one of the two. 426 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:56,079 Speaker 2: He seems disinterested because again he's on the podium the 427 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,279 other day and he doesn't talk about basketball anymore. He 428 00:24:00,319 --> 00:24:04,039 wants to talk about world events. I'm like, dude, you're 429 00:24:04,039 --> 00:24:09,079 a basketball coach. Let's go talking to somebody else about 430 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:09,640 that stuff. 431 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,519 Speaker 1: So he says he's old and stubborn. 432 00:24:14,759 --> 00:24:16,599 Speaker 2: He could be. He's off the pop of itch Tree. 433 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,200 So you can see that. 434 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,559 Speaker 1: Start child asking what we think about the total here, 435 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,480 I don't really have a strong opinion. Let me just 436 00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:33,839 check some pace numbers. At least number one and number five. 437 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 2: I mean. 438 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: Maybe just based on that, but the market doesn't agree 439 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,960 too fast paced playing teams and this one is I mean, well, 440 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,440 how much offense are we going to get for Minnesota? 441 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,359 Their offense hasn't even really been great. They just been 442 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:54,599 playing all right defense, offense hasn't been great, and how 443 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:59,160 interested are they tonight? We can get somebody sitting who's 444 00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:01,400 he looked at the injury part, but let me just 445 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,440 double check, because you can get somebody downgraded. I could 446 00:25:04,519 --> 00:25:08,119 very well see somebody downgraded in his game. I would 447 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,559 not be surprised any anything on the total. 448 00:25:10,599 --> 00:25:13,279 Speaker 2: Before we move on, well, I would say that they 449 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,480 take off. You know, the three and a half point 450 00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:19,119 movement downward is people seeing flag and immediately we know 451 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,400 how the NBA goes to star Child's question. I know 452 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,480 which way he's looking at it, but if he's looking 453 00:25:25,519 --> 00:25:29,039 at over he certainly you know it has a little 454 00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:32,720 bit of valuate. Anthony Edwards is the one guy SKI 455 00:25:32,839 --> 00:25:35,039 that ever since that All Star voting came out, has 456 00:25:35,039 --> 00:25:38,720 been playing really really well offensively. But other than that, 457 00:25:38,799 --> 00:25:40,599 I didn't play it, and for me not to get 458 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,559 involved in a total just means I don't have a good, 459 00:25:44,839 --> 00:25:45,920 good position either way. 460 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:52,079 Speaker 1: On that game, there was a one comment, ain't Randall 461 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,240 from Dallas. I'm not sure, but I'm gonna check and 462 00:25:54,319 --> 00:25:56,359 i'll see what he does first. Then I'm not sure though. 463 00:25:57,079 --> 00:25:59,839 Speaker 2: That's his hometown for sure, because at one point he 464 00:26:00,079 --> 00:26:01,799 is going to go play for Dallas. 465 00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: All right, good stuff from everybody. No start out, not 466 00:26:08,759 --> 00:26:13,279 with the pace numbers first and fifth, but we'll see 467 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,640 market is pushing it under. Maybe it's not correct, that's 468 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,680 what you're saying. Last or no, second to last, Warriors 469 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,400 and Jazz opened up minus oh man, So what use 470 00:26:24,599 --> 00:26:27,480 Steve kerboy? I don't know. I don't want to get 471 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,799 in trouble. It's not my platform. Actually, I'm not saying it. 472 00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:33,279 I've called it off. We'll talk about it later. Let's 473 00:26:33,279 --> 00:26:38,480 talk about Steve Kurr later. I have some things to 474 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,599 say about Steve Kurr. I'll just tell you right now. 475 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 2: They're not private session for this Steve Kirr talk. 476 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,039 Speaker 1: Moving right now. It went from eight and I'm seeing 477 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,960 a red nine and a half on my screen. Uh 478 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,960 so maybe it's starting to move total open two forty 479 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,880 and a half to thirty nine and a half. So 480 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:09,519 we're looking at Curry Draymond, GP two probable, l J. 481 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:16,240 Cryer questionable, Steth and Kaminga both out, can't say, George questionable, 482 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:22,960 Marketing questionable, Urkage questionable, art list and kneeang out. I 483 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,279 like to think if George plays, they can cover and 484 00:27:26,319 --> 00:27:31,400 it can go over. But if they don't play, probably 485 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,640 not going to be involved anything from you here. 486 00:27:35,319 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I was definitely involved here. Ski I'm trying. 487 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,519 I'm getting my money back from Utah tonight. I bet 488 00:27:40,559 --> 00:27:43,960 this one over. Can't they George? I think we'll play. 489 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,160 What I read was he's being He was just held 490 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,160 out of the front end for rest purposes, and he'll 491 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:53,799 probably be there today. So if you get him in 492 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:58,279 marketing together now they could switch out George for marketing. 493 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,400 But they just didn't play offense last night, which is 494 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,240 something you usually don't see from them at home. And 495 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,599 I've said this repeatedly, but I've made a pretty good 496 00:28:08,599 --> 00:28:10,880 amount or cast a good amount of tickets within the 497 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,480 last three weeks. I'm just playing Golden State overs in 498 00:28:13,519 --> 00:28:16,440 some capacity. So I think this one probably gets back 499 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,720 to Utah style. I know yesterday I made the made 500 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,440 the statement that for Utah at home, the baseline should 501 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,559 be two forty. We're looking right in that area here tonight. 502 00:28:25,559 --> 00:28:29,079 Two thirty nine, two thirty nine and a half. I 503 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,279 just think this one gets old. I think it's another 504 00:28:31,319 --> 00:28:33,799 one of those we get back to what we're used 505 00:28:33,799 --> 00:28:37,359 to seeing from Utah at home, and that's something you know, 506 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:38,759 mid two forties and above. 507 00:28:39,519 --> 00:28:44,319 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what Keane George is in that baseline 508 00:28:44,359 --> 00:28:48,839 is two forty. When he's out, they're gonna have to show. 509 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 2: Me even with marketing last night it was terrible. 510 00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're gonna have to show me without George. So 511 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,880 I'll be waiting on that injury report here all right, Uh, 512 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,920 when we're coming. I just seen pop up. Steph had 513 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,559 this my guy dream set out the dream in the chat. 514 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,440 Steph has six threes each time he played them. Ace 515 00:29:08,839 --> 00:29:13,000 threes a look. Nerd probably chased another triple double. Ace 516 00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:16,200 does play good at home. He plays good even verse, 517 00:29:17,799 --> 00:29:21,599 good matchups. I played him yesterday, and you know, first 518 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,799 my first thought was Buddy, But things were saying about Kurt. 519 00:29:26,119 --> 00:29:28,200 You can't trust whatever lineup he gonna put out there. 520 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,880 So I can't look at Buddy because I know the 521 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,279 number might have been low. But Curry. I didn't necessarily, 522 00:29:34,279 --> 00:29:35,640 I don't know. I didn't look at his threes. Maybe 523 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,359 I just looked at his points and saw thirty one 524 00:29:37,359 --> 00:29:39,440 and a half and just said, I'm cleaning the next guy. 525 00:29:40,039 --> 00:29:43,200 But that is a good call out on first threes today. 526 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,200 Appreciate your dream, all right, last game on the slate 527 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,960 here Spurs and Rockets. I feel like they've played like 528 00:29:50,039 --> 00:29:55,400 twenty times already. I mean many times they gets to play. 529 00:29:55,759 --> 00:29:58,519 See it open Mine is four and it's down to 530 00:29:58,559 --> 00:30:03,839 two and a half for Houston. It'll open two twenty one, 531 00:30:04,359 --> 00:30:07,759 and it's sitting as low as two twenty Steven Adams out, 532 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,119 sohan as questionable. 533 00:30:09,799 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 2: We'll say you Rob, Oh, you know it's one of 534 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,559 the best, may be the best competitive matchup tonight that 535 00:30:18,599 --> 00:30:21,799 we could watch. I just couldn't find a great angle 536 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:27,319 to come at it with. I think again, we've noted 537 00:30:27,319 --> 00:30:31,000 the lack of or at least what should be a 538 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,039 drop off in defense without Steven Adams on one side. 539 00:30:34,759 --> 00:30:38,839 I know that the other side San Antonio when Wright 540 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,400 can score a bunch. So my first look here was 541 00:30:41,839 --> 00:30:46,920 toward over. Didn't get there with it to me still though, 542 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,000 two twenty two twenty and a half looks a little 543 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,519 bit light in a game like this, so I may 544 00:30:51,559 --> 00:30:54,400 still play that ski it's gonna uh. I'll take some 545 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,160 time this afternoon and see if I can work out 546 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,799 some numbers here. But to me, that's the best way 547 00:30:59,799 --> 00:31:04,200 to look I don't quite understand why there's such a 548 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:09,000 heavy push towards san Antonio here, But another way I 549 00:31:09,039 --> 00:31:12,599 could look at it is if that line movement happens 550 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,119 to be correct, san Antonio's team total is only one 551 00:31:15,119 --> 00:31:18,559 on nine. One on nine just seems so low for 552 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,799 a team with that type of scoring capability. So I've 553 00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:24,880 got options to look at here. Maybe I'll land on 554 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,599 one of them. 555 00:31:26,839 --> 00:31:32,799 Speaker 1: I don't know, m I think this is the lower 556 00:31:32,839 --> 00:31:37,119 scoring game. Star Child says this one is who says 557 00:31:37,119 --> 00:31:40,559 two twenty is crazy, Rockers been done but unders Yeah, 558 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,880 I mean these are two teams. Neither one of them 559 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,960 is playing fast. Yes, Spur has been able to score, 560 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,279 but both teams theyle On the defensive end, I don't know. 561 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,880 I think there'll be some defense, at least for half 562 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,680 of this game. Yeah, I think there'd be more of 563 00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,720 a defensive game. Trying to make sure I didn't miss 564 00:31:59,759 --> 00:32:04,440 anything here, like, I'm all right. I feel like like 565 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,880 we did a pretty good job, Lucky Power minding. Everybody 566 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,200 just matched the light button and shared the video that 567 00:32:09,359 --> 00:32:13,799 it only takes a few seconds. Appreciate you, Lucky Power. Yeah, 568 00:32:13,839 --> 00:32:18,880 that's that's the card for today, so Veno, I guess 569 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,839 I can go ahead and put this up here. Seven 570 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:28,680 day all access for sixty nine bucks pretty much you're 571 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,640 getting seven days for the price at three. And yeah, 572 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,519 things have been good the past seven days, I know 573 00:32:34,599 --> 00:32:39,079 as a before yesterday. Well, I guess just add seven 574 00:32:39,119 --> 00:32:42,400 to seven that would make it what is that there? 575 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,960 Forty three and twenty one the last seven days? So 576 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,160 I know Veno has been making money as well. We 577 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,680 got a guy in our chat earlier say that. Here 578 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,119 we go, pull Bobby up there, happy to say I 579 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,200 got you both long term and you're crushing. Appreciate you, Bobby. 580 00:32:58,319 --> 00:33:01,519 If you want to be like Bobby, you can get 581 00:33:01,559 --> 00:33:05,160 involved over at Wager Tug. That's a good way to 582 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,720 do it, all right, you know, I think I can 583 00:33:07,759 --> 00:33:11,160 move it on over the best Bet Now, I'll ask 584 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,279 you if there's anything else you would like to promote. 585 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,640 Feel free and you know, if you have a best 586 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:17,960 Bet for the show. We'd love to hear it. If 587 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,240 you don't, it's all good. 588 00:33:20,759 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no more promotion, ski. I think we got 589 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:27,640 that covered pretty well here. As far as best bets, 590 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,440 a couple of angles I could take here, but I'm 591 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,000 gonna go back to the top of the board. I 592 00:33:31,039 --> 00:33:34,200 just think Lakers Cleveland is an over Evan Mobley out. 593 00:33:34,599 --> 00:33:38,160 Lack of defense to me just means Los Angeles has 594 00:33:38,839 --> 00:33:41,319 can score even more than they've been scoring. And you 595 00:33:41,319 --> 00:33:43,640 know we've said it time and time again. LA's defense 596 00:33:43,759 --> 00:33:47,880 is what it is. Kenny Atkinson said the other day 597 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,200 he can't understand why Donovan Mitchell isn't considered top three 598 00:33:51,279 --> 00:33:55,279 in the NBA. He's been going crazy lately, and you 599 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,680 get Sam Merrill back. So I'm looking for points there 600 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,000 up and over two thirty five and a half. 601 00:34:02,559 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: Up and over two thirty five and a half for 602 00:34:04,519 --> 00:34:07,880 the Laker game for Ravino. Good stuff on that for me. 603 00:34:08,599 --> 00:34:11,400 And I have so many bets, so many bets already, 604 00:34:11,639 --> 00:34:14,719 it's barely not even PM yet here. What I got 605 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,119 like nine bets? Which one am I gonna give us 606 00:34:18,119 --> 00:34:21,599 the best bet for the show. This is the million 607 00:34:21,639 --> 00:34:25,800 dollar question. Let me see which line has not moved 608 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:32,320 too much. I am gonna go with you know what 609 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,800 you asked me a question. I'll go with that one. 610 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,480 New York and Toronto. I think we'll get a couple 611 00:34:37,519 --> 00:34:39,840 of rule outs. I think it'll still be a slower, 612 00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:44,519 more defensive game. It's at two twenty one and a 613 00:34:44,559 --> 00:34:47,199 half right now. I think that's still good enough for 614 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,320 guys watching the show to go cashing under. So my 615 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,440 best bet for the show be New York and Toronto 616 00:34:53,039 --> 00:34:58,400 under twenty one and a HALFO appreciate you taking the 617 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,440 time to break down the games. Definitely helps my process. 618 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,400 I'm sure helps everybody else out there as well. And 619 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,639 we got some sharp cappers out there in the chat 620 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,719 and just good people in general. So y'all help make 621 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,559 the show that it is always gonna let you know 622 00:35:10,599 --> 00:35:14,079 you're appreciated. Best luck everybody on all your action.
