1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome into another episode of Profit Picks.

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,080
If you are new, this show has always started by

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,400
being transparent. And yesterday in college basketball, I did a

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,039
little bit too much. I went one and five in

5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,519
college basketball, So take a hit on the season. I

6
00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:26,320
think that makes the season twenty four and eighteen. The NBA.

7
00:00:26,879 --> 00:00:28,839
I did have a winner with that wizard's bet that

8
00:00:28,879 --> 00:00:31,440
I left you guys with, So we'll see if we

9
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,719
can keep having some success with the NBA. You know,

10
00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:38,320
good to be back with you. How you doing today.

11
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,039
Speaker 2: It makes me laugh because you just jogged my memory

12
00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:46,960
after the show. Wizards were the only best bet we

13
00:00:47,079 --> 00:01:00,359
left and the comment was, I'll take today. Man played

14
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:04,519
the NBA yesterday, I had five college plays three and two.

15
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,079
Did have those Houston Cougar's first half minus three and

16
00:01:09,079 --> 00:01:11,799
a half, thirty one twenty six with a minute fourteen left,

17
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,000
give up five straight. Not great, but that was one

18
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,599
of only to lose. It was a winning day, big

19
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,200
win last night with Wisconsin. First half. UCLA had Sky

20
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,719
Clark a lot like the NBA. Ski guy was announced

21
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,079
out of the lineup about I don't know a couple

22
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,959
hours before start time, Like what college getting like NBA here,

23
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,840
Auburn team total over crazy ending. There another winner that

24
00:01:39,879 --> 00:01:41,319
I'm not thinking of off the top of my head,

25
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:43,640
but regardless, it was three and two with a pretty

26
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,640
decent plus, so we'll take it. College basketball has been

27
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:47,000
good to me.

28
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: All right, let's go so big State today. I'm not

29
00:01:50,959 --> 00:01:54,040
putting any banners up. I spent that time just trying

30
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,319
to make bets. So let's see some of these. I

31
00:01:57,319 --> 00:01:58,920
want to talk about some of them I do not,

32
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:02,040
but we'll go. We'll start at the top. Toronto and

33
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:08,280
Charlotte open minus three looks like minus two, and actually

34
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,759
someone and a half's out there as well. Total came

35
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,400
down from two thirty four and a half about two

36
00:02:13,439 --> 00:02:15,719
thirty as long as two thirty and a half I'm

37
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:19,360
seeing out there. Let me just double check this injury report,

38
00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:26,199
because yeah, looks like no Yaka Purdle the only one

39
00:02:26,199 --> 00:02:30,000
on there for the Raptors. For the Hornets, Brandon Miller

40
00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:35,000
did get downgraded to questionable, Williams Plumbley, COLG Brenner all out,

41
00:02:35,199 --> 00:02:42,719
Salouan and Diebalte probable Raptors get RJ back in the lineup.

42
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,039
They look a little bit better rab you know, maybe

43
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:47,560
they don't even need yaka purdle is what it looks

44
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:50,199
like they're But the Hornets have been playing good too.

45
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,439
I want to say, they've covered eight of their last

46
00:02:52,479 --> 00:02:56,680
ten games, so it's tough for me to pick aside here.

47
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,319
I think if I would like the Hornets that rather

48
00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:05,719
just back of nipples points and yeah, that's just how

49
00:03:05,759 --> 00:03:10,439
I feel right now. Anything from you on Hornets and Raptors.

50
00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hornets ski have been good at home. I points

51
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,560
spread wise ten and seven against the spread eight and

52
00:03:18,719 --> 00:03:22,439
six as an underdog, which I don't think. Well, still, yeah,

53
00:03:22,439 --> 00:03:24,360
it still is the case here right, there's still the

54
00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:27,039
dog in the spot. It's come down to minus too,

55
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,080
so good home underdog, good at home.

56
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:30,759
Speaker 1: Overall.

57
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: They've covered both games against the Raptors this year, So

58
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,560
you can make a lot of technical trend arguments for

59
00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:41,919
the Hornets here. Fundamentally on the floor, like you say,

60
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,520
Toronto does look like a better team every time. Are

61
00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:49,080
J Barrett's out there? Not quite sure? I want to

62
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,759
make a play here on this total I don't know.

63
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,840
The downward movement to me a little bit head scratching,

64
00:03:56,879 --> 00:03:59,240
but I get it with the injuries, but without Purdle

65
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,000
at the RIM said it before, Toronto kind of weak

66
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,479
as far as Rim defense is concerned, And I guess

67
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,560
Brandon Miller's a big injury absence if that happens as well.

68
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:12,120
But Charlotte's got some guys that can get to the racks,

69
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:14,960
So I don't know. It's a little bit of a

70
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,959
back and forth for me here. If I had to

71
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,040
at this point in time, I'd probably be looking at

72
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,600
the Charlotte's side, just because they've been real good in

73
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:26,000
this particular situation on their home floor as a home dog.

74
00:04:28,319 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: All right, next game, it looks like Chicago and Detroit

75
00:04:32,519 --> 00:04:37,519
opened up two thirty six down to about two twenty

76
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,040
eight and a half or as low as two twenty

77
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,519
eight and a half, and the side open to minus

78
00:04:42,519 --> 00:04:45,000
eleven for Detroit looks like nine and a half. There's

79
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,720
gotta be some injury related stuff going on here. Kate

80
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:52,439
Cunningham down great, It's a questionable, That's what that is,

81
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,839
or some of it at least. Daan Robinson is probable,

82
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,560
LeVert is probable. During and Tobias are both out for

83
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:04,000
the Bull Boozellis has been upgraded to probable. Kobe White

84
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:07,800
remains questionable, no Collins, Giddy or Smith. I did make

85
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,800
a play on this game, Rabno, I should have probably

86
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,879
doubled up here. Honestly, I took first half under. I

87
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,839
should have took full game under. It looks like two

88
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,399
first half under one twelve and a half and really

89
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:27,600
a lot of it banks On. I like the way

90
00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:30,720
the Pistons have been playing defense lately, combined with the

91
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:33,600
Bulls have been slow starters for a long while now.

92
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,279
Bulls actually sixteen and four to the first half under Robino,

93
00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:43,199
Bulls bottom five offensive rated team last five games. You

94
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:47,560
know my thought process, it is least was They'll be

95
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:50,319
without Giddy for sure, could be without another top scorer

96
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:53,560
in Kobe White, another one possibly in Bozellis, but he's

97
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,360
now upgraded. And neither team really playing with pace here

98
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,000
rob so Piston's having to travel. I think they can

99
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:05,720
keep that lockdown defense going once again here. First half

100
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,680
under one twelve and a half is what I went with.

101
00:06:08,519 --> 00:06:10,480
What do you like in Detroit and Chicago?

102
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,879
Speaker 2: Well, I tried to play against Detroit the other night

103
00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:19,800
with the Knicks. Hit boy, that was never close. Detroit

104
00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:23,759
start to finish in It just reminded me of a

105
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:27,199
lot of comments we've made on the show here all

106
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,839
season long about how Detroit seems to be like the

107
00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:32,680
Okay See of last season, where they just care about

108
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,079
every game, they play hard. No matter what I thought,

109
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,959
not having Jalen Duran what could be a difference maker.

110
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,480
I think Detroit was on back to backs in that situation,

111
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,839
none of it mattered. They destroyed the Nixon You talk

112
00:06:45,879 --> 00:06:48,319
about their defense, they held them under one hundred. So

113
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,199
Chicago's in a bit of a tail spin at this

114
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,399
point in time. I wouldn't want to be on their side, obviously.

115
00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:57,120
I don't want to play Detroit if Kate Cunningham isn't

116
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,600
going to play, I'm not sure you'd want to lay

117
00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:03,120
that amount of points, even though Chicago has been fairly

118
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:05,000
bad total. I won't talk you off of I mean,

119
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,079
how am I going to talk somebody off of? Sixteen

120
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,199
and four angle eighty percent first half under for the

121
00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:14,839
Chicago Bulls sounds pretty good to me. I'm actually writing

122
00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:17,360
that down as we speak, so, uh, maybe I can

123
00:07:17,439 --> 00:07:19,439
consider that first half play for myself.

124
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, I'm kind of disappointed out and get

125
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,920
down on a full game as well. I thought about

126
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,560
it too, and I just I like the first half

127
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,920
more I like the full game two and now it's

128
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:36,800
a little bit too late to go for the full game,

129
00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:41,360
So got gotta do a little bit better, have a

130
00:07:41,399 --> 00:07:44,240
little bit better judgment with that next time, next game.

131
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,399
Washington and Philly opened eleven for Philly now fourteen and

132
00:07:48,439 --> 00:07:51,000
a half. Fifteen total open two thirty three and a

133
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,360
half looks like two thirty six to thirty six and

134
00:07:53,399 --> 00:08:00,920
a half injury report and be as probable Brey is probable,

135
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,040
Watford's probably Wow. The sixers could be completely healthy.

136
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: For ones.

137
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: For the Wizards. McCollum not playing this back to back

138
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:16,920
neither is Middleton, Keyshawn George out wit Moore out all right?

139
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,319
You know I made my money with the Wizards yesterday.

140
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:22,560
I don't know if you can go back to them

141
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,079
here today. I don't know who's really putting the ball

142
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,519
in the basket for them. You know, you're just missing

143
00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:33,639
too much scoring with those first three guys I listed

144
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,440
out Philly, I know they'll be excited to be completely

145
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,000
healthy for once here. It can absolutely blow this team out.

146
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,159
I don't view Philly as a team the latest big

147
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,080
of a number with but we've seen at times this season,

148
00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:51,200
Wizards can just get routed, and without Kashawn, George McCollum

149
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,960
and Middleton, this looks like one of those Knights. So

150
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,399
I leaned towards six ers, even at that big number.

151
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,399
Anything from you on this game.

152
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, my first look was towards sixers. Team total it's

153
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:08,519
one twenty five and a half, So the decision becomes,

154
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,399
do I want to lay fifteen or do I want

155
00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:15,440
to play team total over plus Philadelphia ski is coming

156
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,399
off of that overtime loss to Denver's second string, and

157
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,399
I know talk around here they were pretty disappointed with that.

158
00:09:23,879 --> 00:09:29,799
Philly's actually developing some expectations now in this area as

159
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,519
they get a little bit healthier, team wise, coaching, staff wise,

160
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,399
fan base, media wise. Everybody's sort of rallying around the

161
00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:40,480
seventy six ers right now. I have a hard time

162
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,600
laying that big of a number with them. I'd almost

163
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,919
rather play over one twenty five and a half with

164
00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:49,600
the sixers in this game. The problem is is if

165
00:09:49,639 --> 00:09:52,559
it becomes a true route, do they let off the

166
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,519
gas in the fourth quarter? So you got issues playing

167
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,279
either of these because the numbers are so large. Washington,

168
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,200
as you said, get routed. Washington can also give up

169
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,080
one twenty six. We've seen that done, but they've been

170
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,879
a little bit better defensively. So kind of a quandary

171
00:10:08,879 --> 00:10:11,279
here for me. I want to get to Philadelphia somehow,

172
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,279
maybe I go first quarter, something of that nature where

173
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:17,840
I isolated, But I don't think I want any part

174
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,519
of the Wizards here in this game, although they've been

175
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,399
playing really really good as of late.

176
00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:29,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been playing so well. Now they're fifteen point underdog. Yeah,

177
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:32,759
so like that's a trying and tell us something here, Robino.

178
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, when's the last time Philly was fifteen point favorites

179
00:10:36,879 --> 00:10:38,000
in back to back games?

180
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: That's crazy, Yeah it is. And well, you know what

181
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,080
they played. The Sixers played the Wizards on December second,

182
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,320
they were thirteen and a half point favorites. They won

183
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:56,240
one twenty one to one oh two. I mean it's doable.

184
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that wins tonight for sure, definitely.

185
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,759
Speaker 1: So I think I think the move towards the Sixers.

186
00:11:04,759 --> 00:11:07,279
Obviously you don't want the assing of the line, but

187
00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:10,600
I do still think that they can that can cover

188
00:11:12,159 --> 00:11:15,399
what else? Dooby says, Let's get this money and put

189
00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:19,200
a hashtag green room guys. That was the ogs right there.

190
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,919
Man from the green room, Good to see you in

191
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,960
the chat, Duobe. You know about the green room, Robbie, I.

192
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,919
Speaker 2: Remember the greenroom, man, that's spot. That's why I kind

193
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,080
of first got together, just doing individual stuff with you. Yeah,

194
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,519
that that place was pretty wild.

195
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: People get up and speak, yep, yep. Report to the stage.

196
00:11:42,879 --> 00:11:45,960
If somebody has a bad take, don't try to run

197
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,840
and cover. Report to the stage.

198
00:11:49,519 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 2: And there's Casey stuff.

199
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: She was around there and there too. She said. Somebody

200
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:59,759
said green room, good times, good times, all right. Nuggets

201
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,799
and Celtics opened up minus nine for the Celtics still there.

202
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,039
Total open two thirty looks like two thirty three. As

203
00:12:09,039 --> 00:12:12,960
far as the injuries here, I mean bron and Murray

204
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,919
are probable, that's a plus compared to some of their

205
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:26,120
recent games. Deal without Cam Johnson, Jokic, valancheering is you know,

206
00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:30,360
I don't want to wreck my brand with this game.

207
00:12:30,799 --> 00:12:33,279
I think I agree with the market pushing this total up.

208
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,840
We know Boston wants to shoot a lot of threes,

209
00:12:35,919 --> 00:12:38,799
Nuggets want to play up tempo, and you know, not

210
00:12:38,879 --> 00:12:41,919
play a whole lot of defense. Lean over in this game, Ravino.

211
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,399
But probably not going to be at the window anything

212
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:45,000
from you here.

213
00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:48,159
Speaker 2: I could totally see over. And I'm just noticing here

214
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,799
Aaron Gordon back in the lineup two for Denver tonight.

215
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,480
So few additions here for the for the Nuggets, So

216
00:12:57,519 --> 00:12:59,440
that probably means they get blown out, right because they

217
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,639
win with the same team. Now you bring some starters

218
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,000
back and you get destroyed the way the NBA works.

219
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,480
But I could see over in this game. Obviously, Denver

220
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,799
has not been a good defensive team as far as

221
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,399
stopping people from scoring all season long. We continue to

222
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,360
harp on that, and I don't know that this number

223
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,840
is out of reach. At two thirty three, Denver, with

224
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,639
some premier scorers back, probably get their share. Boston slow

225
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:32,879
tempo but pretty efficient shooting threes. As of late, they've

226
00:13:32,919 --> 00:13:35,039
been racking up some points Boston, as I mentioned the

227
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,360
other day, look up and see them right on the

228
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:41,200
knicks heels for the division lead, which was a little

229
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,840
bit surprising to me. So I think for me it

230
00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:47,679
would be total or nothing here for Denver to reach.

231
00:13:47,759 --> 00:13:52,159
This type of number is not anything unordinary, and Boston's

232
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,720
shooting the ball pretty well right now.

233
00:13:55,879 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: All right, next, we have Clippers and Knicks opened up

234
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,080
Necks minus five and a half. I see four and

235
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,759
a half out there now, total open two twenty three

236
00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:09,639
and a half and sitting right about there. As far

237
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:14,720
as injuries for this one, and let's actually refresh, let's

238
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,960
see if we get anything new here. James Harden is

239
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,759
probable now for this Clippers team. Probably why we'll see

240
00:14:20,759 --> 00:14:25,320
that line move Bogdanovich, Jones, Chris Paul all out. For

241
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:31,639
New York. We have Josh Hart out, Landry Shammitt out.

242
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,440
I took the Clippers in their last game. I think

243
00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:37,320
we talked about that, Rob. You know, I'm not sure

244
00:14:38,279 --> 00:14:43,639
versus was it Golden State? It was, yeah, and you

245
00:14:43,639 --> 00:14:46,960
know I thought about it. I got in late with

246
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,759
the plus three after James Harden was rolled out. Clippers

247
00:14:49,799 --> 00:14:52,639
been playing good basketball, and like I mentioned, it started

248
00:14:52,679 --> 00:14:56,159
when Tyler caught his team out for only having six wins.

249
00:14:56,639 --> 00:14:59,080
Since then, they won I think seven of their last

250
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,519
eight games, Robno, so clearly they got the message, and

251
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,759
you know they're responding. Looking at the Knicks, they've been

252
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,799
coming to the opposite here, not really playing any defense

253
00:15:12,519 --> 00:15:15,600
and as a result, not really being able to score.

254
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,320
I mean, if we look closer at the Knicks. So

255
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:22,759
far this season, the Knicks amazing whenever Josh Hart starts.

256
00:15:23,039 --> 00:15:26,039
Seems like that was the key to a lot of

257
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,399
their success, putting Josh Harden at starting lineup eleven and

258
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,840
three when he starts, when he doesn't, whether if he

259
00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:34,279
comes off the bench or he's out, they're only twelve

260
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,679
and nine. They've only covered one of their last seven

261
00:15:36,679 --> 00:15:41,600
games without Josh Hart. Ah, I see two teams a

262
00:15:41,639 --> 00:15:45,960
little bit opposite that going opposite directions here, Ravino, I'm

263
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,759
gonna go with the team going the right way. Go.

264
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,759
I'm gonna go with the Clippers plus the five and

265
00:15:52,759 --> 00:15:55,240
a half or four and a half for this one, Robno,

266
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:55,960
what do you think here?

267
00:15:56,879 --> 00:15:59,759
Speaker 2: Yeah? I know it's hard to bet against Knicks at

268
00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:02,320
home in MSG because that's where all their good work

269
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,440
has been done this year. But just some numbers to

270
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,720
add to since they won that Cup, the NBA Cup

271
00:16:09,799 --> 00:16:12,480
might be a jinx one in nine against the spread.

272
00:16:12,559 --> 00:16:15,799
Since they won the Cup lost three of their last

273
00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:19,200
four by twelve, eleven and thirty one. Like you say,

274
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,440
that's not a team going upward, that's a team going backward.

275
00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:25,519
Three losses by eleven or more in their last four

276
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:31,120
clips cross country trip, first of three for them. I

277
00:16:31,159 --> 00:16:34,320
always say that when these good teams, and I'm referring

278
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:35,879
to the Clippers as a good team because of the

279
00:16:35,919 --> 00:16:38,279
way they're playing right now. I know their record doesn't

280
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,639
indicate that they're a playoff team as of yet, but

281
00:16:41,639 --> 00:16:47,159
the Clippers, when you your first stop on a road trip,

282
00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:50,080
to me, is always the most important game for good teams.

283
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,559
I think they all like to get off to a

284
00:16:51,559 --> 00:16:55,840
good start. Interesting that Harden was rested or whatever the

285
00:16:55,919 --> 00:17:00,000
other night for this road trip, so maybe that was calculating,

286
00:17:00,279 --> 00:17:02,679
maybe not, But I know I had said the other

287
00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:08,519
day that Kawhi and company insists a little bit that

288
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:11,519
they've been able to play quicker. They put younger guys

289
00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:15,720
on the floor at times to play quicker. However, I

290
00:17:15,759 --> 00:17:18,640
know the retaliation from you real quick because they're dead

291
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,440
last in pace last five games, so don't let them

292
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,720
lie to you again. But they have up their scoring

293
00:17:24,799 --> 00:17:28,039
ability the Clippers as of late. They've been a pretty

294
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,480
good scoring team. Two twenty three and a half to

295
00:17:30,599 --> 00:17:33,640
me looks a little bit and low Nicks have been

296
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,000
playing bad defense, like you mentioned, but at home they

297
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,039
do score. I don't know. I think I may take

298
00:17:40,039 --> 00:17:42,079
a shot with over in this game. I can understand

299
00:17:42,079 --> 00:17:46,599
Clippers plus points certainly based on recent form, current form,

300
00:17:47,319 --> 00:17:48,640
but for me it might be a play on the

301
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,000
total up and over all.

302
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: Right, next one here, you know we are looking at

303
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,599
Magic and Nets. I'm going to pass this one to

304
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,160
you first here, Rob. You know, open four for the Magic,

305
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,920
down to two and a half, open two, twenty six,

306
00:18:07,279 --> 00:18:08,400
down to twenty one.

307
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 2: So real quick. This is back to back I think

308
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,960
for Orlando in this spot against Brooklyn, so right away

309
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,759
you get a little bit of a rest advantage for

310
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,960
the Brooklyn Nets defensively. I know their numbers have been

311
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,359
pretty good. Talked yesterday a little bit about the quotes

312
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,519
coming out of Orlando where they have not gotten it

313
00:18:32,599 --> 00:18:35,119
right defensively yet. I don't know if you get any

314
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,960
better in back to back with travel situations. That could

315
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,920
be an indication for New Jersey to score a little

316
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,480
more than they've been scoring as of late. I can't

317
00:18:47,599 --> 00:18:51,559
get to Brooklyn though it only plus two in this game, Ski,

318
00:18:52,559 --> 00:18:54,559
that's difficult for me. I'm trying to see if there's

319
00:18:54,559 --> 00:18:58,440
any updated injury report here as we speak that makes

320
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:04,440
it that number looks like Suggs definitely out here. He

321
00:19:04,519 --> 00:19:06,720
does make a bit of a difference for sure. But

322
00:19:06,759 --> 00:19:10,799
I think Orlando could still be okay. Tough game to play,

323
00:19:10,799 --> 00:19:15,480
but there's a situation, probably, says Brooklyn. My mind tells

324
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:20,039
me Orlando minus two they can get that done. I

325
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,200
don't like the defensive aspect of Orlando though, especially on

326
00:19:23,319 --> 00:19:25,480
back to back nights, which probably a pass for me.

327
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,319
Speaker 1: Oh well, I did talk about the Magic yesterday and

328
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,519
I told you guys how terrible they've been playing without Franz,

329
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,880
especially on the road. And here they are again without

330
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,079
Franz on the road. I mean, Wizard's handled that game

331
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:48,119
pretty easily. Yesterday they handled it so easily that started

332
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,960
for Orlando barely even got to twenty five minutes. I

333
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,440
mean Jamal Mosley said, fuck you guys, you don't want

334
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,440
to play, We'll leave the bench, and the bench wants

335
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,960
to play, We'll go with those guys. They got the lead,

336
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,960
they were down by like twenty points. I think the

337
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,640
bench cut it down to like four hit. The starter

338
00:20:05,799 --> 00:20:11,039
is looking like can we get back? Sit down?

339
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,079
Speaker 2: So we're just fighting without you.

340
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: Well, we'll see if those guys learn a little something

341
00:20:18,799 --> 00:20:20,799
from last night. But I do think they'll have more

342
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,759
energy than you know, any other usual back to back

343
00:20:23,799 --> 00:20:28,240
because they didn't play those heavy minutes. With that said,

344
00:20:29,279 --> 00:20:32,720
I'm with you that you can't take Brooklyn. You absolutely

345
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:38,640
cannot take Brooklyn at this price range. As much as

346
00:20:38,759 --> 00:20:41,720
Orlando has been playing less defense lately, their defense has

347
00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:44,640
still been better than Brooklyn. They's still been a better

348
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:52,160
rebounding team, I believe. And every time every time this

349
00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:55,519
Magic team gets embarrassed or like lays the egg, they

350
00:20:55,559 --> 00:20:58,640
come back the next time and play play well. I

351
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,799
remember there was a game I had bet on them,

352
00:21:01,799 --> 00:21:03,960
and it was a game they're supposed to show up.

353
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,480
They got embarrassed, and they came back the next day

354
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,720
and won, and I absolutely couldn't take them because I

355
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,240
was sick to my stomach from the day before. And

356
00:21:13,559 --> 00:21:19,119
I saw them do this two more times recently. I

357
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,920
forget who they played before Denver, but then they played

358
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,920
on the back to back and they beat Denver alright.

359
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,920
That was with Jokic, and it was a game before

360
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,160
Portland they lost, and they beat Portland. Both of those games,

361
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,960
by the way, without Franz, I think the Magic can

362
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000
get the w here tonight. I think that, you know,

363
00:21:38,519 --> 00:21:41,119
that last game when you're getting spanked out the gate

364
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,799
and all game by the Wizards kind as a wake

365
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,839
up call. I think the Magic respond today with the

366
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,240
w What do you any last words on this one?

367
00:21:50,279 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 2: You know, just like I say, it's difficult to take

368
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,200
Brooklyn just because I prefer to take Orlando in this spot,

369
00:21:59,319 --> 00:22:01,880
just they're the better team overall and you only have

370
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,519
to win by three at Brooklyn. So the situation, again,

371
00:22:06,799 --> 00:22:09,519
as you mentioned, gets somewhat neutralized by the fact that

372
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,079
Orlando didn't play a lot of minutes last night their starter.

373
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,319
Certainly I'm not going to play it Ski, but I

374
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,720
can't play. I saw a couple as you were rolling

375
00:22:17,759 --> 00:22:21,319
through the comments there. Maybe it was Mark who said

376
00:22:21,319 --> 00:22:23,759
it looks too easy to take Brooklyn. It probably is

377
00:22:24,519 --> 00:22:27,319
too easy to take Brooklyn. I wouldn't take them at

378
00:22:27,319 --> 00:22:28,720
that price range.

379
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: Are New Orleans and Atlanta. I have absolutely nothing rock

380
00:22:33,759 --> 00:22:37,119
You know, ten and a half points spread totaling up

381
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,920
five points to two forty six and a half over

382
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,079
or pass in New Orleans games for me, but passing

383
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,240
anything from you.

384
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, over is always the immediate look. Even though we

385
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,400
talked yesday about how New Orleans had that great run

386
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,759
and it's been followed up by a bad run now,

387
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,480
and that fourth quarter last night was bad. Ski get

388
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,000
outscored by something. I think it was fourteen or fifteen

389
00:23:00,039 --> 00:23:02,079
by the Lakers last night. So the Lakers wind up

390
00:23:02,079 --> 00:23:07,640
covering that number, win by eight. New Orleans just a

391
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,039
little bit lazy checked numbers, and they got buried in

392
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:16,240
fast breakpoints twenty four to nine by the Lakers. And

393
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,599
the Hawk's probably gonna run a little bit more than that,

394
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,559
especially with Pelicans on back to backs. But I don't

395
00:23:21,599 --> 00:23:23,640
know what's going on in Atlanta right now. I mean

396
00:23:23,759 --> 00:23:26,799
all you hear out of Atlanta mostly is trying to

397
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,799
unload Tray Young somewhere, so kind of stuff circulating around

398
00:23:31,839 --> 00:23:34,519
the team. Sometimes it doesn't matter, sometimes it does. I

399
00:23:34,599 --> 00:23:37,039
think i'd look over here, though I don't expect New

400
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,680
Orleans to play a heck of a lot of defense.

401
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,240
And if you wanted to isolate just at Lanta team total,

402
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,319
I think you could do that too here with the

403
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,400
Pelicans on back to backs, all.

404
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:54,799
Speaker 1: Right, Phoenix and Memphis. Phoenix open minus three and a half.

405
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,440
Looks like five total went all the way up from

406
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,359
two twenty six and a half to two thirty two.

407
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:05,039
Let me just glance at this enter report here. Phoenix

408
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,960
is pretty clean. Memphis the same CVS receiat that we

409
00:24:09,039 --> 00:24:14,480
always see until Memphis gets some more improtection back in

410
00:24:14,519 --> 00:24:16,759
the lineup. I don't want to look towards unders, so

411
00:24:16,799 --> 00:24:22,400
I can understand good pushing it that way. Guns just

412
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,440
playing too well right now to want to look any

413
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,000
other way than Phoenix. So it's very simple for me

414
00:24:28,079 --> 00:24:30,000
in this in this one here his suns or nothing.

415
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,200
Probably know what you think.

416
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was the best spot on the board. Actually,

417
00:24:35,039 --> 00:24:38,000
Memphis played their hearts out last night, played really close

418
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,799
now back to back against the Phoenix team that's played

419
00:24:40,839 --> 00:24:44,519
really well, had time off, comes in rested, so the

420
00:24:44,519 --> 00:24:49,279
rest advantage is there just and the defensive advantage that

421
00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:53,319
Phoenix has over Memphis to me is significant. So, like

422
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,960
I say, when I first glanced at the board this morning,

423
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,680
it was the first one I put the little last

424
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,160
risk next to I think it is the best and

425
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,079
the board, but it keeps going up ski three and

426
00:25:02,079 --> 00:25:05,079
a half now to I guess you could still get

427
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,000
five if you go quick, but it's up to five

428
00:25:08,039 --> 00:25:09,960
and a half in a lot of spots. Now, I

429
00:25:10,039 --> 00:25:13,480
understand it, I agree with it. It may not matter

430
00:25:13,519 --> 00:25:15,720
in the end, though, because Memphis is another one of

431
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,960
those teams like Washington that has a tendency to get

432
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,920
beat pretty badly at times. And I think Phoenix one

433
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,759
of those teams that's on an upswing right now.

434
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,519
Speaker 1: All right, Utah and okac okay se coming off of

435
00:25:31,559 --> 00:25:35,359
a pair of losses and embarrassing loss at that. But

436
00:25:35,839 --> 00:25:41,440
did I see I thought I saw, yeah. Sga is questionable,

437
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,599
Caruso's out, Hartenstein's out, and they are still laying eighteen

438
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,599
and a half here Rob, you know, is Bailey's questionable

439
00:25:49,599 --> 00:25:53,240
for the Jazz, I get it. I've lost a couple

440
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,440
in a row. They should be angry, et cetera, et cetera.

441
00:25:55,599 --> 00:25:57,440
They should have been angry after losing another game the

442
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,880
other day. They're just not playing good back basketball right now.

443
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,200
That's just what it boils down to. And Tolay eighteen

444
00:26:05,319 --> 00:26:09,160
points with a team not playing good basketball is asini.

445
00:26:09,839 --> 00:26:12,960
So I don't love the thought of back in Utah,

446
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,480
but I cannot put it that in on Okay see

447
00:26:16,519 --> 00:26:19,880
and feel good about it right now. So this is

448
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,279
the past for me. Robno.

449
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have the depth to be able to overcome

450
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,680
some absences. Obviously SGA is a huge one. But there's

451
00:26:33,799 --> 00:26:36,839
kind of a red red flag up on OKC now

452
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,559
Ski because I said earlier that Detroit is kind of

453
00:26:39,559 --> 00:26:41,480
like the Oka See of last year. They care about

454
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,599
every game in Oklahoma City. Recently, just hasn't been the

455
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,359
same since they got buried by San Antonio in those

456
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,319
back to backs. One was in the Cup semi final,

457
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,759
and then they came back, should have had revenge, had

458
00:26:55,799 --> 00:27:00,400
a good first quarter and then got swallowed by Saying Antio.

459
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,319
It hasn't been great ever since. They bounced back with

460
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,079
a couple of good ones against Philly and then Portland.

461
00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:11,079
I guess Golden State two on the road, but the

462
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,079
last couple not good. I don't know. There's something different

463
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,400
about them. I'll say that right now. There's something different

464
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,319
about the way that they're playing. That being said, yeah,

465
00:27:21,319 --> 00:27:24,680
I'm not trusting Utah. I'll give the eighteen and a

466
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,400
half points to somebody else. I wouldn't put anybody else's

467
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,880
money on Utah on the road. So over is always

468
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,759
a possibility with the Jazz the way they play, But

469
00:27:36,839 --> 00:27:41,559
for me, the side is no play.

470
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: Right Lakers and Spurs seven and a half point favors

471
00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:47,799
here for the Spurs. Lakers on a back to back

472
00:27:48,519 --> 00:27:57,160
still no, Reeves still no, really, I think that the

473
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,359
Lakers can really get ran out the gym. He's saying,

474
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,599
I don't trust them defensively and ain't on the back

475
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,000
to back. Let me actually refresh this. I thought I

476
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:12,519
thought Lebron questionable too, And refresh, Yeah, Lebron questionable now too.

477
00:28:13,039 --> 00:28:19,200
Win be also questionable, but self questionable. I just I

478
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,200
trust more to the young guys on the Spurs to be

479
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,640
able to score and defend, and I trust on the

480
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,480
Lakers on the back to back on the road. So

481
00:28:26,759 --> 00:28:28,920
when I just think about it like that, if you

482
00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:31,400
like the Lakers, you should just be betting on Luca tonight.

483
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,599
Other than that, I would have to look towards the Spurs.

484
00:28:36,039 --> 00:28:37,359
You know, what do you think here?

485
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think you add two that Spurs on back

486
00:28:42,039 --> 00:28:45,680
to back as well, but difficult loss last night one

487
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,119
six five to Memphis. I mentioned earlier. Memphis played their

488
00:28:49,119 --> 00:28:51,079
hearts out last night and not sure they can do

489
00:28:51,119 --> 00:28:55,440
it back to back spots. Spurs probably want to atone

490
00:28:55,519 --> 00:28:58,720
for that loss last night and you know with LA

491
00:28:59,119 --> 00:29:01,200
you do have to worry a little bit. The injuries

492
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,039
are what they are, the potential absence of Lebron is

493
00:29:04,079 --> 00:29:08,519
what it is, and they're just not a youthful type

494
00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:11,559
team like the Spurs are. So I would agree with you.

495
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,759
Has to be a look towards san Antonio here. Even

496
00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:19,319
without Wembin Yama, they played well at times without him.

497
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,519
I get that he's a substantial addition when he's in there,

498
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,000
especially with rim protection. Maybe you could look at total here,

499
00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:30,119
or you could look at San Antonio team total. I

500
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,640
have a lot of faith that they'll be able to

501
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,319
score against this Laker defense. So maybe as I talk

502
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,640
myself through this, San Antonio team total is the way

503
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,400
I would look in this game. It seems to me

504
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,319
that they should be able to get the job done.

505
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,559
She's got to look up the number here real quick, Ski.

506
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,680
While we're going through this game, I show one twenty

507
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,200
one and a half on the Spurs side, actually bet

508
00:29:53,319 --> 00:29:56,880
up from one twenty and a half, probably because the

509
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,799
full game total went up as well. But I could

510
00:29:58,799 --> 00:30:01,240
see that happening here. I could see a Spurs team

511
00:30:01,279 --> 00:30:03,319
total over. I could see a full game total.

512
00:30:03,079 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: Over alrighty, Houston and Portland, and I'm getting I'm getting

513
00:30:11,279 --> 00:30:14,039
tired of you, and I've been up since one am

514
00:30:14,599 --> 00:30:19,400
getting tired here. Houston and Portland opened minus six six

515
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,759
and a half total, all the way down from two

516
00:30:21,839 --> 00:30:24,119
twenty nine as low as two twenty one and a half.

517
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:32,839
Shangoon out and Fleet out, Crawford out for Portland, Murray's

518
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:43,000
doubtful Grant School, Drew Tibo and Wesley all out. I

519
00:30:43,039 --> 00:30:46,720
think that the Blazers are probably the play in this game,

520
00:30:47,359 --> 00:30:51,720
and it's really more so just wanting to fade, wanting

521
00:30:51,799 --> 00:30:55,240
to fade Houston right now. Like I don't like the

522
00:30:55,279 --> 00:30:59,759
thought of expecting them to win by put a few

523
00:30:59,759 --> 00:31:03,440
perce essence plus on the road trying to figure things

524
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:10,599
out without Shangoon. It makes me uncomfortable. Yeah, So for

525
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,599
those reasons, I'll land with the Blazers at home. How

526
00:31:14,599 --> 00:31:14,960
about you?

527
00:31:15,079 --> 00:31:18,519
Speaker 2: You know that is a big difference skill. I mean,

528
00:31:18,759 --> 00:31:22,799
Steven Adams is no concern at all where offense is concerned,

529
00:31:22,839 --> 00:31:28,039
and Shengoon is a concern on multiple levels. So obviously

530
00:31:28,039 --> 00:31:30,920
it's a big hit for Houston there. But without having

531
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,200
any real play on this game, I will say this

532
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,839
It's been difficult all season long to bet against Portland

533
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,599
as a home underdog. It's been profitable for you if

534
00:31:39,599 --> 00:31:42,119
you have bet Portland as a home underdog. And here

535
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,799
they are taking six and a half tonight against a

536
00:31:44,839 --> 00:31:47,279
team without one of its best players. So I could

537
00:31:47,319 --> 00:31:49,680
certainly understand the Portland side.

538
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: All right, last game on the slate here, you know,

539
00:31:53,559 --> 00:31:57,680
Milwaukee and Golden State opened up five. Looks like five

540
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,799
and a half for the Warriors total. Not a whole

541
00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:03,400
lot of movement. Let's go look at the injuries for

542
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:08,839
this one. For Golden State. Draymond is questionable. Gary Payton,

543
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:16,200
it's questionable. Set this out, turning Princes out for the Bucks.

544
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,920
I don't remember the Warriors. Last game, was it the Clippers? Yeah?

545
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:28,680
I had the Clippers, the Clippers, they had the Clippers, Yeah, Warriors.

546
00:32:30,079 --> 00:32:32,079
I don't really trust him right now, and it's not

547
00:32:32,119 --> 00:32:37,279
like I necessarily trust the Bucks. But if we'll start

548
00:32:37,319 --> 00:32:40,000
off with going back to the Steve Kirk thing, I mean,

549
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,319
how many guys he's playing to night? Is there a limit?

550
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,839
Is he playing guys off, grabbing them from the G

551
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,400
League and tossing them in the game too. He's playing

552
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,680
everybody you got in the Warriors uniform. He doesn't know

553
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:56,920
what to do. I just I don't have faith. I

554
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,839
don't like what I'm seeing currently. I guess from the Warriors,

555
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,680
Draymond is questionable. If he's out there, you know, I

556
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,680
feel like they've been playing better when he's off the court.

557
00:33:07,039 --> 00:33:11,039
He might get ejected. He's been getting thrown out lately.

558
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,720
If he does, I would, you know, I don't know.

559
00:33:14,839 --> 00:33:16,400
This is the game. I probably have to play live,

560
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,000
but I don't think I can lay with the Warriors

561
00:33:19,279 --> 00:33:24,519
pre game. That's all I'm saying. Casey in the chest says,

562
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,400
you notice her team? He says, stop being playful. Ski,

563
00:33:28,319 --> 00:33:30,240
Draymond out. We might be on the Sun, but kerr

564
00:33:30,279 --> 00:33:33,160
playing twenty people. Man. Even Pa is talking about he

565
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:34,240
can't find a rhythm.

566
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:35,839
Speaker 2: There you go.

567
00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:39,039
Speaker 1: What do you think here of? You know, Golden State

568
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,200
and Milwaukee a fire curve?

569
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 2: There you got? I mean he's on his way out anyway, right,

570
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,200
We've talked about this last year of contract. His rotations

571
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,759
have been wacky for years now. Actually in back to

572
00:33:51,799 --> 00:33:55,440
backs especially, they've been wacky this year, especially wacky. I

573
00:33:55,599 --> 00:33:59,279
like over in this game, Ski, I just see points points, points,

574
00:33:59,279 --> 00:34:04,400
Milwaukee doesn't really defend. Golden State's been seven and two

575
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,840
their last nine games, scoring one nineteen or better. A

576
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,599
little bit of a bounce back. Only got one oh

577
00:34:10,599 --> 00:34:12,199
two last game, so I think they'll get a little

578
00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:15,000
bit of a bounce back. Don't like them defensively at

579
00:34:15,039 --> 00:34:17,920
this point in time, so I thought this was a

580
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,840
pretty fair price to twenty nine and a half in

581
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,840
a game that probably can find its way at two

582
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,079
thirty five to two thirty six. So I think it's

583
00:34:25,079 --> 00:34:27,920
going to be on my card. Milwaukee Golden State over

584
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,199
the number. Just can't see any other way to play it.

585
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't talk you off of of points in

586
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,519
this one, but I don't think I'm going to be

587
00:34:39,559 --> 00:34:43,760
at the window in this game. Yeah, it's a good

588
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,039
call out too, Rawlins. He did play well. I think

589
00:34:46,119 --> 00:34:48,920
versus Golden State last time could be another chance for

590
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,920
him to light it up a game versus Golden State

591
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:56,599
after they got rid of him. All right, Adam, this

592
00:34:56,679 --> 00:34:58,920
is the only person who wants Draymond to play. I

593
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,639
guess today too, says Green doesn't play. Nobody has a

594
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,800
chance to stop. Be honest, we shall see it for me.

595
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,679
We'll see how this one shakes out. But man, they're

596
00:35:13,679 --> 00:35:17,800
coming with the pitchforks for Steve Kerr in the comments section, Rabino.

597
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 2: Not doing Jopski.

598
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: All right, that's all twelve games. How long did it

599
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,199
take us to do it? Thirty five minutes? I think

600
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:35,119
that's decent. So actually I put the best bets. Well, yeah,

601
00:35:35,119 --> 00:35:36,880
we could leave it up there. I won't put a

602
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,440
graphic up, but I know they do still have that

603
00:35:40,039 --> 00:35:45,239
seven day all access. I'm sorry. You can get seven

604
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,559
days all access for the price of three. That's what

605
00:35:47,599 --> 00:35:49,960
they have going right now. Promo wise comes out to

606
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,920
a little less than ten dollars a day. Do you

607
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,039
want to get involved? You see at the bottom my profile,

608
00:35:55,119 --> 00:35:58,880
Ravino's profile. On that note, I ask you, Veno, if

609
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:03,079
there's anything else you like. Oh and if you have

610
00:36:03,119 --> 00:36:05,039
a best bet for the show, you know we'd love

611
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:07,119
to hear it. If you don't, it's all good.

612
00:36:08,599 --> 00:36:13,039
Speaker 2: Today I do. And let me just very quickly, I'm

613
00:36:13,079 --> 00:36:15,480
going to self promo real fast. Here ski for NFL

614
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,719
Playoff action for those who are going to be at

615
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,639
NFL last couple of years. Twenty three, postseason twenty three,

616
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,440
postseason twenty four finished number one over there, at wager

617
00:36:25,519 --> 00:36:29,960
talk in net profit back to back consecutive first place,

618
00:36:30,039 --> 00:36:33,880
so they put together a little package for myself and

619
00:36:34,639 --> 00:36:38,400
Jesse Schule, who ran pretty close last year, picked up

620
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,039
thirty three units. I think last year was a second

621
00:36:41,079 --> 00:36:43,559
right behind me. But you can get all of our plays,

622
00:36:44,039 --> 00:36:46,880
both of us combined throughout the NFL playoffs for two

623
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:51,039
forty nine. It's reduced rate. You can check it on

624
00:36:51,119 --> 00:36:53,840
my home page over at wager talk dot com. Playoffs

625
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,760
get going this weekend. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have

626
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,719
a five percent on one of these four games and

627
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,960
probably a play on all four, so you'll get a

628
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,400
lot of action here. Playoffs have been good to me,

629
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,440
so once again visit my homepage wt dot buzz slash

630
00:37:07,679 --> 00:37:09,719
r V and best bet for tonight in the NBA.

631
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,840
I think I said it earlier. I thought Phoenix was

632
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,719
the best spot on the card here tonight against Memphis.

633
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,679
Off the big win last night one O six, one

634
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,079
oh five against San Antonio. Really don't expect them to

635
00:37:21,119 --> 00:37:23,679
come back with that same effort. And Phoenix has been,

636
00:37:24,119 --> 00:37:26,519
you know, resting while that was all going on. So

637
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,719
I think Phoenix in good form right now, only laying

638
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,840
four and at you can still get four and a half's. Guys,

639
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,320
there's some fives out there too, but four and a

640
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,960
half's do exist at some of the more popular places

641
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,559
for folks in the States. So once again, I'm gonna

642
00:37:43,559 --> 00:37:46,519
play Phoenix here to be fair to the to the

643
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,880
UH to the chat. Here, I'll say minus five, but

644
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,079
I'm telling you there's multiple spots where you can find

645
00:37:53,119 --> 00:37:54,800
four and a half, So shop it well.

646
00:38:00,119 --> 00:38:03,559
Speaker 1: Yep, Dad, good stuff for rob, you know. For me,

647
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,119
I do have a couple of four percents already put

648
00:38:06,199 --> 00:38:09,199
up for today. Those have been doing well. But for

649
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,800
the best bet for the show, I do love this

650
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,239
play as well, and it might be a four percent

651
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:20,400
two magic. I like the Magic. We faded the Magic yesterday.

652
00:38:20,679 --> 00:38:23,800
We're back in the Magic today. That's what they do.

653
00:38:24,039 --> 00:38:26,239
They get embarrassed and then they show up in the

654
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,800
next game. We've seen it multiple times so far this season.

655
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,480
They're clearly the better team than Brooklyn. It's not a

656
00:38:32,519 --> 00:38:34,320
true back to back because of the minutes that the

657
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:38,280
starters played yesterday. I think that you see a response

658
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:42,000
from the Magic tonight. I am taking them on the

659
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,639
money line. If you want to take minus two two

660
00:38:44,679 --> 00:38:46,519
and a half out there. I think that cash is

661
00:38:46,599 --> 00:38:49,519
but I don't mind taking minus one eight I can

662
00:38:49,559 --> 00:38:52,079
