1 00:00:02,799 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: What up. Y'all. Welcome into another episode of Profit Picks. 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,360 If you are new, we do always start the show 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,560 by being transparent. Man, yesterday I felt like I had 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,160 a good play, man, I did. I listened to all 5 00:00:14,199 --> 00:00:17,559 the interviews, I heard everybody talk, watched the way they 6 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,160 play any situations, and it did not translate. I saw 7 00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:26,760 a comment here, actually and pull this comment up. Joe 8 00:00:26,879 --> 00:00:29,960 says he had the Celtics good job on that. He 9 00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:32,640 said poor Ski though, had the under on that one. 10 00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:34,799 Of course, the Celtics decided to make eleven threes in 11 00:00:34,799 --> 00:00:36,840 the first quarter. A lot of these threes are just 12 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,799 wide open, man, It's just frustrating. After they talk about 13 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,280 we need to focus on defense. But oh, in one yesterday, 14 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,560 see if we can do better here today? You know 15 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,039 you do better than me yesterday? 16 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 2: I did. 17 00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 3: I got there with a three and oh yesterday's Ski 18 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:59,880 all three team totals. Funny in the YouTube comments section, 19 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,359 somebody had written welcome back Gino or something. I need 20 00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:08,280 my team totals, So we went to the team totals. 21 00:01:08,359 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 2: Last day. 22 00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:10,719 Speaker 3: We got the Philly team total over they get to 23 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,599 one to fifty three, had the Houston Rockets team total over. 24 00:01:14,719 --> 00:01:17,280 That was the closest of all the closest they were 25 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,640 one seventeen. They got to one nineteen simply because Milwaukee 26 00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:23,959 was in the game late and fouled and let Houston 27 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,040 get to the free throw line with like six seconds left. 28 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,159 Speaker 2: So that was two and zero. 29 00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:29,879 Speaker 3: And then we closed it out with the Knicks team 30 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,120 total against Memphis one twenty and a half. They got 31 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,159 to one thirty. Some of these things Ski and I 32 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,719 know I said it yesterday. Shouldn't be afraid of these numbers. 33 00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:42,719 Just jump on the train and ride it. Indiana Chicago. 34 00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:43,799 We talked about all. 35 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 2: The missing pieces. Two hundred and seventy one points. 36 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 3: Some of these games are just like, wake up and 37 00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:51,760 mechanically play them anymore down the stretch. Some of these 38 00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:57,040 teams just so disinterested in stopping the opponent and really 39 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,239 interested in scoring points. 40 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: So we'll see if we can put something together get today. 41 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, did any games go under yesterday? I mean, I 42 00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:10,240 don't know if anyways went under, but yeah, something to 43 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,080 keep in mind for sure. Not a whole lot of 44 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,159 defense being played right now these last few few games. 45 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,199 Is the season something to take note of? All right? 46 00:02:19,719 --> 00:02:23,039 We have one, two, three, four, five, six six games 47 00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:26,400 today and only one double digit spread, so we might 48 00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:31,319 have something decent to talk about here today. Phoenix and 49 00:02:31,439 --> 00:02:34,680 Charlotte opened up minus six, looks like five and a 50 00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:37,639 half now. Botal went up from two twenty one. That's 51 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,879 how it's two twenty five and a half for Phoenix. 52 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,840 Mark Williams is questionable, Coffee's out, Heigh Smith is out 53 00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:45,680 for Charlotte. 54 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 2: PJ. 55 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: Haws out. 56 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 2: It's like they're pretty healthy. 57 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,719 Speaker 1: The situationals here, third game in four nights for the Suns, 58 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,400 fourth and six as well, fourth and six for the Hornets. 59 00:02:56,439 --> 00:02:58,960 Also first game of a back to back. It says 60 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,879 here they played the Pacers two. So you also have 61 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,919 a horness team that lost to the Suns not that 62 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000 long ago, maybe a little less than a month ago, 63 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,120 March eighth, ninety nine to one eleven. They they lost 64 00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:16,919 them twice. They lost to them on January twelfth, one 65 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,120 thirteen to one twenty. I'm sorry, no, no, no, that 66 00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:23,439 was last season. So they did lose to them the 67 00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:29,639 only time they played them this season standings wise, I 68 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,360 guess that's something I should look at here, and my bad, 69 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,599 you guys today, I'm a little no, I'm capping on 70 00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:38,240 the show today because my priority today was I don't know, 71 00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:40,800 I felt like since I got sick at my betting 72 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,560 hasn't been that well. So all morning I just woke 73 00:03:43,639 --> 00:03:45,120 up and was just doing stuff to take care of 74 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,840 myself and make myself feel better. But standings wise, we 75 00:03:49,919 --> 00:03:54,520 do have the Suns at seventh. Doesn't look like they're 76 00:03:54,719 --> 00:03:56,199 going to be able to get out of the play in. 77 00:03:56,639 --> 00:03:59,199 But you definitely don't want the Clippers. You don't want 78 00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:01,639 to go down anymore, is what I'm saying there. And 79 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,719 they do have six games left. They're three games ahead 80 00:04:04,719 --> 00:04:06,680 of the Clippers, three and a half ahead of the 81 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:14,240 Blazers or the Hornets. The Hornets are in that eighth spot, 82 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,439 they can still make it out the play in. There 83 00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:20,360 are two games behind that six spot, so definitely doable. 84 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,079 Should get a good effort from both. You know, I'm 85 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,160 looking a little bit more towards the Sun's side, unless 86 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,839 you can talk me off here, Rob, what do you think? 87 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,959 Speaker 3: Well, I think the number would be the thing that 88 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,600 we're talking to the Suns here. 89 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,319 Speaker 2: I mean, Charlotte. 90 00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 3: Five and a half right now just seems large in 91 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,839 a game where there's meaning for both sides. A couple 92 00:04:44,879 --> 00:04:48,279 of things I found interesting though, especially in the case 93 00:04:48,319 --> 00:04:48,759 of Phoenix. 94 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 2: You just went through the standings. 95 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 3: Phoenix obviously a little more secure in their spot than Charlotte, 96 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,079 and Charlotte can continue to move up. That they went 97 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,920 from ten to eight last night with their win. Orlando 98 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,639 was lost, so Charlotte with an opportunity. Phoenix pretty much 99 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,519 is going to be locked into seven unless they collapse late. 100 00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:13,800 But I found this interesting in reading this morning. Suns 101 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,720 did not use Jalen Green the last sixteen plus minutes 102 00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:20,560 in Tuesday's game. Coach made a decision made by coach 103 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:26,160 Jordan not use Grayson Allen Royce, O'Neil, Devin Booker trying 104 00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:30,120 to go smaller. Here's what ID says. He says he's 105 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,279 not injured. Green's not injured. We just decided to go smaller. 106 00:05:33,879 --> 00:05:35,839 Don't know how much smaller you can go. Jalen Green's 107 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,839 a guard or a swinging play smaller and use some 108 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,360 other guys in that stretch that he's normally in. So 109 00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:44,839 he took him out of the grouping, the rotational that 110 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,759 Green is in and just sat him for sixteen minutes. 111 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,319 Now you could read into it two different ways. A 112 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,240 It could be a coach who knows they're locked into 113 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,680 seven and just looking at some smaller lineups in case 114 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,360 he needs to use them in the play in or 115 00:05:58,399 --> 00:05:59,120 the playoffs. 116 00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 2: Could look at it as man, this guy. 117 00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:04,519 Speaker 3: Wants to get Jalen Green on the pinch a little 118 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,759 more than on the floor. I don't know which, but 119 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,240 I just find it funny that they would be I 120 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:09,600 don't know. 121 00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 2: I don't know that it's funny. 122 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,079 Speaker 3: It's it's because they're in that specific spot, three games 123 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,040 ahead of the Clippers in that seven. Is about that 124 00:06:18,079 --> 00:06:22,519 he's able to do this evaluation process. I'm not sure 125 00:06:22,519 --> 00:06:24,720 that it'll make a difference tonight. I think what would 126 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,480 make a difference is if Mark Williams plays Mark Williams 127 00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:33,439 back to Charlotte for one and then a big presence 128 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,040 at the rim for Phoenix two. I think that would 129 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,079 make a difference here. But I tell you it's hard 130 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,160 for me to ski at this point in time to 131 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,959 go all in against Charlotte. One more thing I found 132 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,839 interesting about Charlotte. 133 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 2: This is numbers wise. 134 00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:53,319 Speaker 3: Charlotte's scoring margin this year is plus four point seven 135 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,560 points per game, so they're winning games by a little 136 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,439 over four and a half, a little less than five 137 00:06:57,519 --> 00:07:02,079 on average. That scoring margin is better than Cleveland's, better 138 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,480 than the Lakers, better than Houston's, and just three tenths 139 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,680 of a point worse than Denvers. Is Charlotte's playing great ball, 140 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,360 Not that we didn't know that already, but I think 141 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:19,519 it's attributable to their defense plus their offense. Brandon Miller quote, 142 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,759 I think the heart is there. Our heart is showing 143 00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:24,079 every night. We're competing at the highest level against any 144 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,879 team on any given night, building wins for the city 145 00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:28,800 of Charlotte. I think we've been doing a great job 146 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,160 with that. It's a team that's unified, it's a team 147 00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:33,920 that's playing well. The one thing that would scare me 148 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,120 off of them is a five and a half might 149 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,879 be too much because Phoenix is still a really, really 150 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,879 good team, and if they come focused, this could be 151 00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:43,680 a really tight one. And I could even see, you know, 152 00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:46,759 Phoenix come's focused, like see Phoenix winning the game. So 153 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,399 I don't I don't have a great feel for it, 154 00:07:49,439 --> 00:07:51,959 but I just some of the stuff surrounding it. I 155 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,519 think I need to watch a little bit here to 156 00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:56,120 see how these teams go down down last few games. 157 00:07:56,759 --> 00:07:58,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I need some more time with his 158 00:07:58,759 --> 00:08:04,199 sons and Hornets game. All right, we'll go to t 159 00:08:04,399 --> 00:08:07,079 Wolves and Pistons opened up minus five and a half 160 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,519 down to three and a half. Total went up from 161 00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:14,560 two twenty two as high as two twenty five. Injury report. 162 00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:18,560 You have Ant questionable, McDaniel's out for Detroit, Sasser's questionable, 163 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,759 and Oki no Stewart. This is man. Piston has been 164 00:08:23,759 --> 00:08:26,720 playing like every day. It's what six game and nine 165 00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:29,600 nights for them. It's a lot of basketball to be 166 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,399 playing for the Timberwolves. They did have a couple of 167 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,600 days off before this game, and it is the front 168 00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:37,480 of a back to back. They play the seventy six 169 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,919 ers tomorrow. Looking at this, Piston, I mean, six game 170 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,919 in nine days, that is pretty taxing. Let me just 171 00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:48,440 glance at the standings. I know the Timberwolves are kind 172 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,600 of in that fifth they're actually the Rockets passed them up, 173 00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:57,240 So Timberwolves in a sixth spot doesn't really look like 174 00:08:57,279 --> 00:08:59,399 they're in danger of falling into the play in but 175 00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:01,679 you know, still a chance to move up there. For 176 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,519 the Pistons, there are four games ahead of Boston with 177 00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:09,440 six games left. You know, almost pretty sure to be 178 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,519 locked in that first seed, you know, I mean you're 179 00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:19,480 missing a lot of scoring without both Kid and potentially Ant. 180 00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:21,480 Do you just look towards this game to go under? 181 00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:24,480 I mean, they are both more defensive teams. First, How 182 00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:25,840 are you viewing this one, Veno. 183 00:09:27,639 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 2: You know we had this oops, no, I was on. 184 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,159 Speaker 3: I think we kind of had this same situation the 185 00:09:36,159 --> 00:09:39,879 other night with Detroit, right, they got bit down and 186 00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:44,240 we capitalized on Detroit, or at least had the opinion 187 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,440 that Detroit at three and a half was a good play. 188 00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 2: In that game. 189 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 3: Here you get the number coming down. Probably people think 190 00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:56,039 Gant's gonna play. I can understand that Minnesota has been 191 00:09:56,279 --> 00:09:59,320 pretty good as of late five and three. I kind 192 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,200 of think the opposit way here of what I thought 193 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,799 the other night. I just don't know if I'm willing 194 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,279 to bet against Detroit in any of these situations. We 195 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,360 talked about it at length the other day. We talked 196 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,080 about the same situation with San Antonio. Those two teams 197 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,360 are very similar. Stepping in front of either one, you know, 198 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,840 could drop your account pretty quickly. So you have to 199 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,519 be pretty sure of yourself here again, Minnesota, like you say, 200 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,360 They're not in any danger of, you know, leaving the 201 00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:28,720 top six here, but. 202 00:10:29,759 --> 00:10:31,879 Speaker 2: A climb, maybe a climb. 203 00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 3: To five is something they have their eyes on. 204 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 2: I'm not really sure. 205 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 3: I think Minnesota's been playing a little bit better as 206 00:10:39,159 --> 00:10:42,799 of late, and at some point Detroit maybe has a 207 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,080 close call. I didn't play it, Ski, I won't play it. 208 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,519 I think my side lean is towards the timber Wolves. 209 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,639 You mentioned the scheduling for Detroit. That's got to be 210 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,000 considered a little bit here, and then you asked about 211 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,600 the total. So let me just respond to that really quick, 212 00:10:59,639 --> 00:11:02,080 to twenty two up to two twenty four and a half. 213 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,720 The game with Detroit that Detroit played the other night 214 00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:07,679 went far over the total. I think it was against 215 00:11:07,759 --> 00:11:10,720 Toronto one twenty seven to one sixteen or something to 216 00:11:10,919 --> 00:11:14,320 forty three. I feel like Minnesota's Toronto's just in a 217 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,200 free fall at this point. Minnesota is not that So 218 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,799 I could understand a move maybe towards under here in 219 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,960 this game. I won't play it, but I could certainly 220 00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:27,720 understand it. 221 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll try to continue to make the case 222 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,399 here and I'm gonna market on my my short list 223 00:11:33,399 --> 00:11:39,360 here under But talking about that Pistons game versus Raptors. 224 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,279 I mean, they shot fifty six percent from three. We 225 00:11:43,399 --> 00:11:45,440 got to expect some kind of regression from them, right. 226 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,399 Let me just glance at this Timberwolves team. I don't 227 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,279 remember their last game. They played the Mavericks. They put 228 00:11:54,279 --> 00:11:59,120 a one twenty four one by thirty. They shot forty 229 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,159 five percent from three. I mean, I like to think 230 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,440 there's some regression coming from both of these teams, you know, 231 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,519 I look at how they've been playing lately. I mean 232 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,440 Timberwolves have gone under five straight games. Timberwolves in those 233 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,519 five games have the second worst offensive rating, the second 234 00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:18,279 best defensive rating, and pace wise eighteenth. Pistons pace twenty 235 00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:21,360 first to last five games, number four defensive rated team, 236 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,919 eighteenth offensive rated team. I don't know, you know, I mean, 237 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:26,799 you know, I feel like I made a lot of 238 00:12:26,799 --> 00:12:29,639 sense for Boston and Miami yesterday. One plus one doesn't 239 00:12:29,639 --> 00:12:32,120 always equal to but if one plus one equals two, 240 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,120 this one should stay under one more thing, a couple 241 00:12:35,159 --> 00:12:41,080 more numbers points per game. Timberwolves last five games, averaging 242 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,440 one oh five point four and allowing one o two 243 00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:46,480 point two. That's about two oh seven and a half 244 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,639 Pistons allowing one to eleven scoring one twenty point eight. 245 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,519 I mean, you put those two together, I'm pretty sure 246 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,679 you still end up under two twenty four. 247 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:55,919 Speaker 2: And a half. 248 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: One plus one equals two. This game stays under. You know, listen, if. 249 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 3: I'm in a court of law and you're the opposed, 250 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:10,440 I'm a little nervous right now to the Minnesota numbers 251 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:15,679 really quick. Offensively, I would somewhat justify that low number 252 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,120 due to the fact that Edwards hasn't played in a 253 00:13:18,159 --> 00:13:21,039 few of those. But defensively, I think you said they've 254 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,279 given up one oh two points something, and I feel 255 00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:27,919 like Minnesota is always capable of that. Like they when 256 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,039 they're in these ruts and it's been almost a full 257 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,120 season for them where they're just giving up massive amounts 258 00:13:34,159 --> 00:13:36,639 of points. I think we always question, how could Minnesota 259 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,879 be that bad defensively? Really, they're not on paper. When 260 00:13:39,879 --> 00:13:42,879 they put their minds to it, you get the kind 261 00:13:42,919 --> 00:13:47,399 of number you just you just gave us there, one 262 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,519 oh two point whatever it was per game. 263 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 2: That's the kind of defense they can be. So they 264 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:52,399 may be. 265 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 3: In one of those stretches Ski where their focus is 266 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,000 on defense, maybe not saying it as loud as they're exposed. 267 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,879 What was true was saying it before he gave up 268 00:14:02,039 --> 00:14:05,600 fifty three in the first quarter. But Minnesota's got that 269 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,320 capability to stop teams from scoring, that's for sure. 270 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: This is a good point and only played in one 271 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,159 of the last five games, so offense will be better 272 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:19,399 if he's rolled in today. Good point, and justin, I 273 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,840 can't do it right this second, just because it'll take 274 00:14:21,919 --> 00:14:24,080 me too long to type it in the database, and 275 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,720 I don't want to hold up the show. But I 276 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,840 will look it up and I'll get back to you. 277 00:14:27,879 --> 00:14:32,399 I know where to find you, all right, Lakers and Thunder. 278 00:14:32,919 --> 00:14:34,759 This one opened up minus eight and a half. Looks 279 00:14:34,799 --> 00:14:38,240 like nine total open two twenty five tires, two thirty 280 00:14:38,279 --> 00:14:43,200 two and a half injuries, Marcus smart as out, Caruso 281 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:50,240 is questionable, situational, let's get over there. Third game in 282 00:14:50,279 --> 00:14:54,080 four for the Lakers. Meanwhile, the Thunder and the Lakers 283 00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:58,080 did have you know, day rest before this game. Thunder, though, 284 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,840 do have the rest advantage two days off before this one, 285 00:15:00,919 --> 00:15:05,799 and this is their fourth straight home game and this 286 00:15:05,879 --> 00:15:09,480 is the first row game after three straight home games 287 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:15,679 for the Lakers. Interesting, Thunder, I feel like I have 288 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,399 started to get back into a rhythm playing better basketball, 289 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,879 but the Lakers been playing good too. I mean, expecting 290 00:15:23,879 --> 00:15:25,440 the Lakers to lose about ten points the way that 291 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,440 they've been playing lately, that seems like a stretch man. 292 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,840 Oh no, I guess I would prefer the Lakers side here. 293 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,000 I'm not quite sure what to do with the total. 294 00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:37,240 Any thoughts from you on Lakers thunder? 295 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,519 Speaker 3: You know, yeah, I looked at that total to twenty five, 296 00:15:41,559 --> 00:15:45,600 all the way to two thirty two, and in one 297 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:50,440 straight spot to thirty two and a half, and I 298 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,200 wonder why this seven point increase in the total. But 299 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,279 and I do wonder if this isn't going to become 300 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,759 the game within the game. Right the last couple of days, 301 00:15:59,799 --> 00:16:02,559 all we hear about is this MVP talk. Luca put 302 00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:04,840 himself right into running with the month of March that 303 00:16:04,879 --> 00:16:08,200 he had, He got wemby over there at San Antonio 304 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,480 just going crazy every single night, and of course SGA 305 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,519 trying to win it as well. And you just wonder 306 00:16:14,519 --> 00:16:17,720 if this doesn't turn into the SGA versus Luca offensive 307 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,639 battle in this particular game. And maybe that's why people 308 00:16:20,679 --> 00:16:24,159 are betting this thing up and over. The number two 309 00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:25,799 twenty five might have been a little bit too low 310 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,720 to begin with. Anyway, the guys that you said are 311 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,200 out here Marcus Smart, Alex Caruso, or at least questionable. 312 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,159 Those are probably the two guys that go after loose 313 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,120 balls more than anybody. I neither one of these teams. 314 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,639 So you're taking some defense away. And I would say 315 00:16:42,639 --> 00:16:44,679 this about the Lakers. I think the Lakers are the 316 00:16:44,759 --> 00:16:46,799 right side if in fact, they don't turn it over. 317 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,840 You know, okay See goes on their runs by forcing turnovers, 318 00:16:50,919 --> 00:16:55,519 not necessarily because they're this great jump shooting team from 319 00:16:55,519 --> 00:17:01,600 the perimeter, but they will put a couple steals transition 320 00:17:01,799 --> 00:17:05,519 buckets together, are surrounded by a couple of threes, Maybe 321 00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:07,519 lou Dort shows up and makes one, and the next 322 00:17:07,519 --> 00:17:10,559 thing you know, they're on that run. LA's ball protection 323 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,839 is pretty good. So I don't know that OKAC can 324 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,519 get on a huge run against this team to knock 325 00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:22,200 them out and win by ten plus. Oklahoma City obviously 326 00:17:22,279 --> 00:17:26,400 is more than capable. Don't get me wrong, But again, 327 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,799 if they're up twelve thirty five seconds left, you think 328 00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:32,079 the Lakers can backdoor them. 329 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:32,839 Speaker 2: Of course they can't. 330 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,079 Speaker 3: There's more than enough guys who can shoot at three 331 00:17:35,559 --> 00:17:39,680 Luca or Austin Reeves for starters, So I don't know. 332 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,839 I think the way the Lakers are playing, I would 333 00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:43,920 look towards the plus nine and a half. I do 334 00:17:44,039 --> 00:17:49,559 think that Okase's knockout punch always scares me, especially at home. 335 00:17:49,599 --> 00:17:53,039 When motivated. I think both sides are motivated here. I 336 00:17:53,079 --> 00:17:54,480 don't know what to do with this game. I would 337 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,799 have played it over at the beginning price. I probably 338 00:17:57,799 --> 00:17:59,200 would have played it over all the way up to 339 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,680 two twenty seven and a half to twenty eight. But 340 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,440 here where it's priced now, maybe it's side of my range. 341 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: Yah, I think some good points there. I'm not sure 342 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,319 what to do with this one either. I think I 343 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,680 just need a little bit more time. Calves and Warriors 344 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,160 right around the opener for both side and total. Tyson out, 345 00:18:21,279 --> 00:18:25,359 Dean Wade out for the Calves, Steph and Horford out 346 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,920 for the Warriors. Santos post porzingis Peyton melting all questionable. 347 00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:32,559 There's the second of a back to back for the Warriors, 348 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,039 third and fourth for the Caves, but they do have 349 00:18:37,079 --> 00:18:41,799 the rest advantage, you know, Cavaliers off of a loss 350 00:18:41,799 --> 00:18:44,559 as well. I would like to think that they bring 351 00:18:44,599 --> 00:18:47,880 a really good effort here and I think that they 352 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,279 can win this game by margin. But something about it just, 353 00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:54,200 oh no, I can't really get there and push the 354 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,759 button is there? I mean, I have a hard time 355 00:18:58,759 --> 00:19:01,119 with Warriors games lately. I just don't know how much 356 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,680 they care, how much they're trying. Now it's a back 357 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,440 to back. I don't know, if you know, what do 358 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,359 you think about this game? 359 00:19:11,799 --> 00:19:15,599 Speaker 3: You know, my recent opinion on Cleveland's ski is that 360 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,559 if I'm gonna get involved. 361 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,079 Speaker 1: With them, team total, it's. 362 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 3: Got to be from a total's perspective or team total, right. 363 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,039 I mean, we talked a little bit about it the 364 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,960 other day. James Harden has slowed them down a little bit, 365 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,680 but they're still efficient. And if you're gonna if this 366 00:19:30,759 --> 00:19:32,000 is the way it works out, and this is the 367 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,880 way it worked out last night, because they're both on 368 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,680 back to backs. If post poor Zingis and Horford all 369 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,519 three don't play like they didn't play last night, then 370 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,079 Mobiley and Allen have to go crazy on the interior. 371 00:19:45,319 --> 00:19:47,039 I mean, it's just no other way about it. They 372 00:19:47,079 --> 00:19:51,160 should get easy, easy points. I don't know, because Golden 373 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,720 State is so secure in their spot, like they're locked 374 00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:55,400 in and they're a playing team, they're gonna be on 375 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,839 the road. Maybe Kurr is resting these guys on purpose. 376 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,240 There's no reason to pl play them because they can't 377 00:20:02,279 --> 00:20:05,000 move up or go down. So if you don't have 378 00:20:05,079 --> 00:20:08,359 any of those three bigs in this game, which, like 379 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,640 I say, last night, they didn't, could be a Detroit 380 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,279 situation where you know, they didn't play Duran and Harris 381 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:17,920 in game one of a back to back, but they 382 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,160 did bring him back in game two. But we knew 383 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,519 immediately that Duran and Harris were gonna play here. Steve 384 00:20:24,599 --> 00:20:28,240 Kerr drags us along as usual. I think Cleveland team 385 00:20:28,319 --> 00:20:30,599 total is a good way to go here. Golden State 386 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,960 hasn't played a lot of defense as of late, so 387 00:20:34,079 --> 00:20:36,920 one nineteam to me seems really approachable for the Cavs. 388 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,960 I looked that way, and if these three centers don't go, 389 00:20:39,279 --> 00:20:40,519 it should be fairly easy. 390 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: All right. I agree, I agree chat us to look 391 00:20:47,039 --> 00:20:54,960 on the team total. Let's see, it was something my bad, 392 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,079 I just lost my I'll here we go. So what 393 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,480 else gonna say is yes, I agree with the thought 394 00:21:00,519 --> 00:21:02,359 that if you're back in the Calves, you don't really 395 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,240 want to trust it. I mean, I always say, if 396 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,880 you can't trust me to get stopped, how can't trust 397 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,799 them win by margin? Twenty fifth defensive rated team last 398 00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:11,559 five games. So I do agree that that a team 399 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,960 total is probably the better way to look. Probably I'll 400 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,559 write that down on my list as well. Calves team total. 401 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:24,200 All right, next game, Pelicans and Blazers opened up minus six. 402 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,519 I'm sorry, minus seven and a half is down to 403 00:21:26,599 --> 00:21:29,319 six and a half total open two twenty eight. It's 404 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:40,599 up to two thirty three. Injury report, you have Mackovich questionable, 405 00:21:40,759 --> 00:21:44,960 Trey Murphy questionable. For Portland, you have Grant out, Cranchy out, 406 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,240 sharp out. My first thought here is Pelicans are often 407 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,039 ass whopping, and I think Pelicans have rest defantage. Yeah, 408 00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:55,160 Pelicans had two days off before this game, off and 409 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,240 ass whipping. They do play again tomorrow versus the Kings, 410 00:21:59,279 --> 00:22:00,839 but I mean it's not they have to look forward 411 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,599 to anything. I think they'll get a good effort from 412 00:22:02,599 --> 00:22:06,119 them tonight after that bad game last time out. For 413 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:11,160 the Blazers, they're coming off what they won four of 414 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:16,119 their last five games. They put up well, they won 415 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,400 for the last five games, so playing some solid basketball, 416 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,839 and they have one by margin and all of those wins. 417 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,759 When I'm looking at the competition though, what I mean 418 00:22:27,759 --> 00:22:29,720 the one versus Clippers recently, I guess I can give 419 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,599 them that the Wizards, Mavericks, Bucks nuts, not that the 420 00:22:33,599 --> 00:22:36,359 Pelicans are world beaters, but I like to think that 421 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,880 they can keep this one respectable. You know, how about you? 422 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, back up that garbage truck for that 423 00:22:43,599 --> 00:22:47,400 list of teams that you just rattled off, and then Portland, 424 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:48,759 to their credit, stop. 425 00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 2: Those teams from scoring. 426 00:22:50,759 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 3: Brooklyn only got ninety nine, Milwaukee only got ninety nine, 427 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,920 Dallas only got a hundred, Washington only got eighty eight, 428 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,880 and Clippers rue oh four. So for Portland, it's really 429 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,920 been good on the defensive side, leading to these covers. 430 00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:09,160 Six and a half to me seem like a strong number. 431 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,759 I know that mid season, at least prior to All 432 00:23:12,799 --> 00:23:15,319 Star Break, there was a pretty heavy trend on Portland 433 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,519 home games. Good as a home dog, not good as 434 00:23:18,519 --> 00:23:21,200 a home favorite. Here they're a home favorite of six 435 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,359 and a half against a team that when they're healthy. 436 00:23:23,519 --> 00:23:26,559 Jeante Murray's back here in this lineup that when they've 437 00:23:26,599 --> 00:23:28,839 been somewhat healthy. And if Trey Murphy does go, Trey 438 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,720 Murphy's missed like three in a row, I think. But 439 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,599 if Trey Murphy is able to go here tonight, New 440 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:38,240 Orleans has tried to win games at times, so or 441 00:23:38,279 --> 00:23:41,480 at least played them close. Numbers seems big to me. 442 00:23:42,559 --> 00:23:46,039 I'd almost And again this doesn't come from me a lot, 443 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,759 but the way Portland's playing defense under almost seems like 444 00:23:49,839 --> 00:23:53,759 it could be doable here. Two thirty three is large, 445 00:23:53,759 --> 00:23:55,799 and what the odds maker is telling us to get 446 00:23:55,839 --> 00:24:00,519 over that, it's got to be One twenty to one 447 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,000 thirteen is a Portland cover and a push, So one 448 00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:09,240 twenty to one fourteen could be a lot here. I 449 00:24:09,279 --> 00:24:11,160 don't know. I don't like it enough to play it, 450 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,599 but I could understand the way Portland's playing defense right now, 451 00:24:15,759 --> 00:24:17,359 locking teams down to under one hundred. 452 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:18,039 Speaker 2: I don't care who it is. 453 00:24:18,039 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 3: If you're locking them down to under one hundred, that's 454 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,480 that's playing good defense. So maybe a little lean toward 455 00:24:23,519 --> 00:24:26,640 the under and a little lean toward New Orleans plus. 456 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: The points a bad chat. Some people say Pelicans a 457 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,720 couple of people. Some people say Blazers. So a little 458 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,759 bit all over the place here. I would prefer that 459 00:24:41,759 --> 00:24:46,839 that Pelly side. There was a question here Michael asked, 460 00:24:46,839 --> 00:24:49,119 did I give out a client play yesterday? Yeah, I 461 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,240 mean I gave it out the Boston game under he 462 00:24:52,279 --> 00:24:53,880 says he didn't receive one. I mean, I wish it 463 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,759 didn't go out. If I could take it back, I would. 464 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,160 I would love that. But so if you if you 465 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,240 didn't get it, you should just be happy, Michael. But 466 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:10,200 hopefully we can do better today. Spurs and Clippers. Looks 467 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,119 like the last game open minus three and a half 468 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,799 and hasn't moved total right around the opener as well. 469 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,599 For the Spurs, Luke Cornett is probable. For the Clippers, 470 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:30,720 I think Jackson is out. Let's get the situational. So 471 00:25:30,759 --> 00:25:33,279 for the Spurs, it is the second of a back 472 00:25:33,319 --> 00:25:36,559 to back they played the Warriors yesterday. Third game four, 473 00:25:36,599 --> 00:25:37,079 four and six. 474 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 2: As well. 475 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: For the Clippers, they do have the rest advantage. They're 476 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,599 coming off that lost versus the Pelicans, so chances for 477 00:25:41,799 --> 00:25:45,920 them to bounce back. Let me just glance at the 478 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:51,960 standings for for the Clippers, where are they at Clippers, 479 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,160 because this is probably a much more important game for them, 480 00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:01,160 than in the Spurs. Your Clippers in that eighth spot, 481 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,359 half a game in front of the Blazers, three games 482 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,400 behind the Suns. So it doesn't look like they're going 483 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,480 to get out of the plane. They're not in danger 484 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,960 of falling out. I mean, I mean, I'm sorry, they're not. 485 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,000 Doesn't look like they're going to get out of the 486 00:26:13,039 --> 00:26:15,000 play in as far as like the regular playoffs, and 487 00:26:15,039 --> 00:26:16,640 it doesn't look like they're going to you know, fall 488 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,039 to the eleventh, but they can still you know, get 489 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,559 home court advantage, move up to the seventh or move down. 490 00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:25,400 So it is an important game for them more than 491 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,519 it is for the Spurs. Man, you know, Spurs. You know, 492 00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:32,839 the last two games for the Spurs, I feel like 493 00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:37,119 somebody must say something like they're trying not to cover 494 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:37,640 those games. 495 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 2: At the end. 496 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: It's always the last second of the game, the other 497 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,960 team is coming in like, I don't know, the starter 498 00:26:44,079 --> 00:26:45,680 is not. I don't know if you know. That's how 499 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,200 I'm feeling. This is the point spread where you know, 500 00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:51,319 we kind of really got to win the game. It's 501 00:26:51,319 --> 00:26:54,200 hard to go in front of the Spurs. But tell 502 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,799 me this, I mean, Spurs have been playing some of 503 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,000 the best basketball for over a month to month. It's 504 00:27:01,039 --> 00:27:02,559 just three and a half here. I mean, they just 505 00:27:02,559 --> 00:27:05,480 blew everybody out. I double did. It's in the past 506 00:27:05,519 --> 00:27:08,920 five games, it's three and a half. What do you 507 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:09,440 think about this? 508 00:27:09,599 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 3: You know, yeah, you know, I'm probably gonna stick to 509 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,559 the over in this game for a couple of reasons, 510 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,920 san Antonio. And again, when you go back through the 511 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,559 game logs, it's not the best competition, it's not the 512 00:27:23,599 --> 00:27:27,119 elite of the elite. But fourteen of their last seventeen 513 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,640 games they've scored one nineteen or more. That offense is 514 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,160 just like a machine. And since they put their mind 515 00:27:32,319 --> 00:27:36,200 toward it seems like they put their mind toward getting 516 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:42,119 wembin Yama some MVP votes. He's been going crazy. We 517 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,240 know that LA is playing up tempo and that we're 518 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,839 gonna get plenty of chances to score here. I think 519 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,119 san Antonio can score on anybody at this point in time. 520 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,640 There's so deep, so many weapons. It just doesn't stop 521 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,839 after one or two players. It's not just when min 522 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,799 Yama and Castle, it's that whole group through nine, one 523 00:28:00,799 --> 00:28:04,160 through ten. Everybody can score the other side of the coin, 524 00:28:04,559 --> 00:28:06,680 you need LA to score here too. They get San 525 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,519 Antonio on a back to back, they're a little bit rested. 526 00:28:10,599 --> 00:28:13,000 Like I say, they played faster, and I would expect. 527 00:28:12,759 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 2: To bounce back. 528 00:28:13,279 --> 00:28:16,559 Speaker 3: They only scored one oh four against Portland the other night, 529 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,880 with Garland in the game and with their you know, 530 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:24,559 with their lineup actually, so you know, you played kind 531 00:28:24,559 --> 00:28:27,640 of what I would call reverse bounce back. And I 532 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,519 would look at that too. When you were talking about 533 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,039 regression from the two teams that shot crazy three point 534 00:28:33,039 --> 00:28:38,279 percentages last night and pointing toward under, I'll say that 535 00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:41,799 Clippers just didn't shoot it well the other night. Probably 536 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,599 shoot it better here San Antonio. What they had like 537 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,319 twenty five points in the first four minutes last night. 538 00:28:48,319 --> 00:28:50,599 Speaker 2: It was crazy how quick they got out of the blox. 539 00:28:51,319 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 3: I think this one gets over Ski the Spurs for 540 00:28:54,519 --> 00:29:00,000 what it's worth against the bad competition. Last three games, 541 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,240 one thirteenth Indiana, one thirteenth in Milwaukee, one fourteenth to Portland, 542 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,559 who is a playing team, Adam, I feel like the 543 00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:11,000 Clippers can get to one fourteen here. If they do 544 00:29:11,119 --> 00:29:13,720 one eighteen, when fourteen gets me over, that's kind of 545 00:29:13,799 --> 00:29:17,640 right on the spread as well. I think this number 546 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,480 is probably in a spot where we can attack it 547 00:29:19,519 --> 00:29:20,079 and play over. 548 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,599 Speaker 1: I think you made some good points on that, and 549 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,720 a lot of people talking about the Spurs first half. Yeah, 550 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,599 you can avoid when Winby comes out the game and 551 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,960 they just trick it off. Could be a good way 552 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:35,000 to get involved there. That is the NBA car for today. 553 00:29:35,119 --> 00:29:37,920 So let's go do a little bit of that promo 554 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,799 that we usually do. Veno Buy three, get three free. 555 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,279 That's still available six days. Come out to just sixty 556 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,319 nine dollars. A good way to be involved for you know, 557 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,480 just shy of a week. If you like longer term, 558 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,640 you can do the all in for the year. Ultimate 559 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,920 All Access pass comes out to under four dollars per day, 560 00:29:55,519 --> 00:29:57,400 and if you were to, for example, go get Rob 561 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,559 Vino for a year, you'll receive a twenty five percent 562 00:29:59,559 --> 00:30:02,000 bonus Q you can come check out anything that I 563 00:30:02,039 --> 00:30:05,920 have going and last but not least, NBA Playoffs plus 564 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,400 the rest of the regular season free. It comes out 565 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,119 to just just under two hundred dollars one ninety nine there, 566 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,799 and NBA is going until mid June, so you still 567 00:30:15,839 --> 00:30:19,480 have about two and a half months left of action left. 568 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,400 I mean, this is a really good way to get involved. 569 00:30:24,079 --> 00:30:26,839 You know, I'm gonna pass it back to you, ask 570 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,680 you if there's anything else you would like to promote, 571 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,359 and if you have a best bet, we'd love to 572 00:30:31,359 --> 00:30:33,559 hear it. If you don't, it's all good. 573 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll just add on to that last package you 574 00:30:37,519 --> 00:30:39,880 showed Ski one more time all the way through the 575 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,960 playoffs through the NBA Finals, and say that you can 576 00:30:46,119 --> 00:30:48,839 subscribe and get both of us in that package. There's 577 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,480 gonna be days like if you had that package right 578 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,200 now you went three and one. Yes see, there's gonna 579 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,880 be days where Ski carries me. There's gonna be days 580 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,839 when I carry him. There's gonna be days when we're 581 00:30:57,839 --> 00:30:58,680 both hot. 582 00:30:58,519 --> 00:30:59,759 Speaker 2: And you're just raking it in. 583 00:31:00,079 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 3: So for fifty extra bucks, that's probably the best way 584 00:31:04,039 --> 00:31:06,880 to go. I think the office is putting that up 585 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,720 for two forty nine, but you can check into that. 586 00:31:09,759 --> 00:31:13,440 But it is available both of us combined all the 587 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,960 way through the NBA playoffs. Let me get to the 588 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,160 board here. Ski and I did make a couple of 589 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,680 plays today. The one I like the best, I guess 590 00:31:23,759 --> 00:31:27,079 is the Cleveland team total over one nineteen. I just 591 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,680 Golden State has shown no interest to play d Golden 592 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,119 State is so small they could be even smaller tonight. 593 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,599 We don't know that for sure, but even if only 594 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,599 one of the three centers plays, it's seven Mobley and 595 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,759 Jared Allen. There should be easy points at the bucket here. 596 00:31:43,759 --> 00:31:47,920 So for me, I trust Cleveland to score. Like you 597 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,240 always say, we can't trust them to get stopped, so 598 00:31:50,319 --> 00:31:52,400 we can't trust them to lay ten. But I think 599 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,839 getting to one twenty four of them should happen tonight. 600 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,000 So best bet for the show Cleveland team total over 601 00:31:58,119 --> 00:31:58,759 one nineteen. 602 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: And a reminder for anybody out there, if you're new, 603 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,920 you won't know, but the last three years in the 604 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,160 playoffs I did, I am plus one hundred and forty 605 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,400 five units, so it is where I usually do my 606 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,440 best work. I know I said that yesterday, but I 607 00:32:13,559 --> 00:32:18,200 didn't put any numbers to it. So yeah, playoffs coming up. 608 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,960 You know and myself both good ways to go. Like 609 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,519 you said, if you can get both of us, I 610 00:32:24,559 --> 00:32:27,680 think that's the best way to do it. My best bet. 611 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,079 I haven't pushed the button yet, so I don't like 612 00:32:30,119 --> 00:32:34,559 giving one, but what I will say is just reiterate 613 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,240 the one plus one equals too. Minnesota and Detroit is 614 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,359 going under two twenty five tonight. I would like Anthony 615 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,720 Edwards to be out of the game from getting involved, obviously, 616 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,720 so I will wait a little bit, check the injury report. 617 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,160 If he gets rolled in, I'll make a decision. The 618 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,079 line will obviously go up. If he gets rolled out, 619 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,240 I will probably be like already at the window by 620 00:32:57,279 --> 00:32:59,480 the time. You know, as soon as I see the alerder, 621 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,079 I'm running to the window. So I'll give that to 622 00:33:02,119 --> 00:33:05,079 you guys, and I continue to make decisions throughout the day. 623 00:33:06,039 --> 00:33:08,799 You know, appreciate you taking the time to catch these 624 00:33:08,839 --> 00:33:10,839 games with me.
