1 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: What's going on, y'all? Welcome into another episode of Prophet Picks. 2 00:00:05,599 --> 00:00:07,599 If you're new, we do always start the show by 3 00:00:07,719 --> 00:00:11,919 being transparent. And yesterday I had one play and it 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,119 was a loser. It was the Cavaliers plus two and 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:20,280 a half. Never was even close. So man, the past maybe, 6 00:00:20,679 --> 00:00:22,359 I don't know. It's been a little bit of slump 7 00:00:22,399 --> 00:00:25,839 since the weekend. For sure. Got to get back on 8 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,280 track here today. You know, hopefully you did better than me. 9 00:00:28,359 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 2: Yesterday I was equal to you. Yesterday. I had one play. 10 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,240 It was the Clippers game over. Did not get there 11 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,600 to eighteen, but I did go up and down the board, 12 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,479 you know, ski just to review it, boy, a lot 13 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,320 of the stuff we talked about. I wish I had 14 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:52,320 played Orlando Phoenix wound up getting over the totals. Charlotte 15 00:00:52,359 --> 00:00:56,799 was really easy, Detroit down to three and a half, 16 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,920 wound up being easy against Toronto. I was thinking Cleveland 17 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,799 Lakers over it. Just it makes me shake my head 18 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,719 sometimes when you have that much of a good hold 19 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,200 on a board and you pick the one that doesn't 20 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,680 go right. That's what happened yesterday. But at least I 21 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,959 know we handicapped it pretty well. Just a poor decision 22 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,799 on my part which one to play. We'll see if 23 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:19,760 we can be better today. 24 00:01:20,359 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's been the story for me the past couple 25 00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:25,840 of days. Yesterday and today, I feel like it was 26 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,760 just like that. I'm like, damn, why didn't I just 27 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:28,959 take all this other stuff. 28 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 2: Hopefully we're helping the chat. Hopefully you guys are taking 29 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,519 advantage of it. Certainly we know what we're talking about, 30 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,359 we just don't know how to apply it right now. 31 00:01:39,879 --> 00:01:42,840 One of those Let's see if we get it right today. 32 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see. We'll start with Philly and Washington opened 33 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,840 up fifteen down to fourteen and a half. I see 34 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,920 a thirteen and a half out there too. Total right 35 00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:57,200 around the opener, Billy and beat us out, Broom is 36 00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:01,719 out Washington. We have Shawn George, A D. D. Lo 37 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,680 Sar and Trey Young all out. This is it's a lot. 38 00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:11,680 It's something dirty games on this slate, you know, But man, 39 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,000 this is how we gotta start. Huh. You got the 40 00:02:14,039 --> 00:02:17,520 Sixers coming off for loss of the favorite, so maybe 41 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,199 they get a chance to bounce back here. They lost 42 00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:22,520 to the heat of one o nine till one nineteen. 43 00:02:22,759 --> 00:02:25,400 That was a nice second half by the heat the Wizards. 44 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,000 It's their first game home after a what is that 45 00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:30,960 five game road trip, so could be a little bit 46 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,639 of a flash spot. But I mean it's like they're 47 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:40,039 they're always flat. It's also fourth and six. Yeah, I 48 00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:43,039 just it's hard to look towards the Wizards. I don't 49 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,719 view the Sixers as the I mean, I guess if 50 00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:47,879 I'm trying to make a case for the Wizards, it's 51 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,000 that I don't view the Sixers as a team. I'm 52 00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:54,199 willing to go like double digits with especially you know 53 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,879 you're missing in B two, you definitely would won him 54 00:02:56,879 --> 00:02:59,879 in So for that reason, it will be more of 55 00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:03,439 a fate of Philly at the current number, with the 56 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:04,439 lean on Washington. 57 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,719 Speaker 2: What do you think, Yeah, maybe, well, I think the 58 00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:13,719 motivational end of this goes to Philly one game out 59 00:03:13,719 --> 00:03:16,520 of the playoffs. Right now, they're the number seven seeds 60 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,039 sitting in the play in but they're only by in 61 00:03:18,039 --> 00:03:20,840 Toronto by one, with a chance to catch them and 62 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,360 make it easy on themselves and just be automatically in 63 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,319 a series. Neither of the centers play tonight. No SAR 64 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:33,120 for Washington, no MBD for Philadelphia. Philly's got a little 65 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,560 more in the backup department. They can always lean on Andre, 66 00:03:35,639 --> 00:03:38,360 Drummond and Bona to play centers. So I think it's 67 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,039 advantage Philadelphia from that perspective. They're three to oh against 68 00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:46,560 these guys this season, Philly one thirty one to one ten, 69 00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:49,840 Philly one thirty nine, one thirty four, Philly won twenty one, 70 00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:52,960 one oh two. They've been able to score at will 71 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,039 against Washington, and we know Philly has been banged up 72 00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:00,439 for at most of the time this year, either George's 73 00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:03,280 been on suspension or Embiid's been hurt, so they've played 74 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,919 these games with different lineups. I feel like if I 75 00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:10,719 had to isolate something because Philadelphia has the motivation legend, 76 00:04:10,719 --> 00:04:13,439 because Washington flew all the way back from the West Coast, 77 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,439 I feel like Philly will score here. Only one o 78 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,160 nine against Miami, then that was just a bad shooting 79 00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:21,560 that really you should score more than one o nine 80 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,639 against Miami. They're pushing pace the entire game. So maybe 81 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,639 a look toward the Sixers team total here ski I 82 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,800 believe when I looked it was one twenty six and 83 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,000 a half. As I look now, it's still one twenty 84 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,120 six and a half. Interesting here that the line went 85 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,360 straight down as you mentioned to thirteen and a half 86 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,279 over the EMBID news and now has come back Philly's 87 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,120 way a little bit because SAR was announced maybe forty 88 00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:52,160 five minutes ago as not being a go here. COOLi 89 00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:55,639 balio play Washington could score too. Maybe I shouldn't exclude 90 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,720 Washington from the mix here at two thirty eight and 91 00:04:58,759 --> 00:05:00,560 a half, but I feel a little more oppident in 92 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,680 Philadelphia playing a what should be a quicker pace game 93 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,879 and the Wizards having not much in the way of 94 00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:10,399 rim protection for this one. 95 00:05:12,519 --> 00:05:15,519 Speaker 1: All right, we'll go over to Hawks and Magic open 96 00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:17,720 up minus fours down to three or two and a 97 00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:19,759 half depending where you shop. And the total also came 98 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,240 down from thinking opener two thirty six, and I think 99 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,800 consensus will call it two thirty three and a half. 100 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,839 As far as the injury report for Orlando, Franz Bogner's questionable. 101 00:05:33,879 --> 00:05:35,480 Interesting to see if they can get him out there. 102 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,000 Black and Isaac are out for the Hawks. Landale is 103 00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:43,720 questionable once again. Yeah you know this. I mean this 104 00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:45,639 Hawks team has been playing really good basketball for a 105 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,399 while now. This Magic team has not. This Magic team 106 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,319 is coming off of a win they played yesterday, this 107 00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:57,319 Hawks team has some rest advantage. I look at the standings. 108 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,040 You have the Hawks and with that fit seed. Let 109 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:05,839 me pull it back up here. Fifth seed, yeah, Hawks, 110 00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:09,519 fifth seed in the Magic eight seed two and a 111 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,319 half games behind the Hawks, I mean, very very important 112 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:18,480 game here. I'd like to think that well, I don't know. 113 00:06:18,519 --> 00:06:22,360 The number, just seems like numbers. Seems like I should 114 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,279 be taking the Magic like it seems cheap to have 115 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,360 the rest advantage. And if you've been playing so well 116 00:06:28,079 --> 00:06:32,120 to only lay two and a half for three, I 117 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,240 think the Magic maybe I found a little something can't compete. 118 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,800 I know they're gonna play hard, at least at the 119 00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:37,439 very least. 120 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,879 Speaker 2: What do you think you know, Yeah, they played hard 121 00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:45,240 last night. That was not an easy game to win 122 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,120 against Phoenix when fifteen to win eleven, all of those 123 00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:51,360 minutes were taxing minutes. Ben Carrol put in thirty seven, 124 00:06:51,439 --> 00:06:56,560 I think Baine put in thirty seven, point guard sugs 125 00:06:57,439 --> 00:06:59,759 thirty seven, thirty eight. All those guys are around the 126 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,920 same amount of time yesterday, so they needed it. They 127 00:07:03,959 --> 00:07:06,600 got it yesterday. I kind of doubted whether or not 128 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,959 they could get it because they haven't been playing good. 129 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,519 They haven't played good against the Hawks all season long. 130 00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:14,879 Atlanta's three and zero against these guys, and in two 131 00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:17,560 of those three Franz did play. They're back towards the 132 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,360 beginning of the season. But I don't feel like Atlanta 133 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,040 was in form back in the beginning of the season, 134 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,120 especially since what they have fired in the trade down. 135 00:07:26,439 --> 00:07:31,519 Now now they're better, right, And so to me, man, 136 00:07:31,399 --> 00:07:34,879 don't this is hard. They both need it. Orlando needs 137 00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:36,800 it more and you look at their spot in the 138 00:07:36,839 --> 00:07:40,439 standing ski and they could again slide right down to 139 00:07:40,519 --> 00:07:45,000 the eighth spot by losing year, so they have to 140 00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:47,759 I'm sure that oh and three against this team means 141 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,000 something to them. It's a divisional rival. You want to 142 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,759 beat them for a multitude of reasons. Here tonight, So 143 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,480 a situation I think almost in the same spot we 144 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,879 were last night, right Phoenix was the rested team. Gee, 145 00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:02,759 just go ahead and play the rest advantage, or do 146 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,920 you play the we need it more advantage, which seems 147 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,600 to be Orlando, even though Atlanta could use it. I 148 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,519 don't know. It's a difficult game. I do agree with 149 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,800 the total coming down a little bit, even though they're 150 00:08:15,839 --> 00:08:19,360 fast paced teams. Honestly, I think this one will take 151 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,800 on kind of a playoff type atmosphere with people playing 152 00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:25,800 defense against one another here tonight for at least some 153 00:08:25,879 --> 00:08:30,279 periods of time. So maybe a look at Under. Maybe 154 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,799 I don't know that I could trust. I don't know. 155 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,840 I don't know that I could bet Orlando here, but 156 00:08:34,879 --> 00:08:37,440 I don't know that I could bet Atlanta either, even 157 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,440 though they've owned this series this season. 158 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,159 Speaker 1: I agree with what you said about the Under. That 159 00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:45,600 was another look for me. It did come down to 160 00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:47,879 two thirty two and a half and now going back up, 161 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,440 so I'm not sure why that's happening. Don't like to 162 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,600 see that, but Under definitely on my radar, just because of, 163 00:08:54,919 --> 00:08:58,480 you know, the importance of the game. I think you're 164 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,840 going to get really good effort on defense. Also, I 165 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,919 didn't pull the trigger because I'm unsure how that back 166 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:09,519 to back will affect the Magic, whether defense suffer could 167 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,840 And yeah, it made me hesitate a little bit, but 168 00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:14,840 I agree with that thought. 169 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,759 Speaker 2: What do we think if Franz plays, does to throw 170 00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:21,039 a wrench into their offense. He hasn't played in twenty 171 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:21,960 two games. 172 00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:25,879 Speaker 1: I would think so first game back after that long, 173 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,000 high ustage player. I think it was the other their 174 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,240 rhythm off a little bit. Not like they had much anyway, 175 00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:34,159 but I agree. 176 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,919 Speaker 2: Could get us to the under all right. 177 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: Celtics and Heat opened up five now four and a half. 178 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,159 Total open two twenty eight and a half, and I 179 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,000 see it as high as two thirty and a half. 180 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,080 For the injuries, I see Norman Powell out. World's there 181 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,320 still on the injury report for some reason. Lucevich is 182 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:02,960 out for the Celtics team other than that pretty team. 183 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,519 I disagree with the total going up here. You know, 184 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,759 I'm curious before I even get into it, how do 185 00:10:09,799 --> 00:10:11,440 you feel do you agree with the total going up? 186 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,799 Speaker 2: Well, I'll say what we say all the time. No, 187 00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:20,240 Norman Powell, no doubts. Don't really want a piece, especially 188 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,679 if it's a good defensive team like Boston. Now, Eric 189 00:10:22,759 --> 00:10:28,000 Spolstra has had a lot to say. It's kind of 190 00:10:28,039 --> 00:10:31,919 funny that he's talking about how they should be. They 191 00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:35,360 haven't predicated themselves on defense all season long, but yet 192 00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:37,720 he's saying their problems are because they don't play defense. 193 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,279 That's kind of obvious to all of us. If in 194 00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:45,879 fact what he's saying, if I put it into context. 195 00:10:45,919 --> 00:10:48,320 Monday night, they did hold Philly to one o nine, 196 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,559 and if that's the start of something maybe coaches words 197 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:56,200 sinking in, then perhaps you know under is in play here. 198 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,960 We know Boston can play defense, we know Boston can 199 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,600 lock down. These guys played on February sixth. It was 200 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,720 ninety eight to ninety six, only one hundred and ninety 201 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,639 four points. So that's a good testament to the for 202 00:11:07,759 --> 00:11:12,840 the under here, I could possibly look that way. Ski 203 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,240 I viewed Boston as maybe one of the top three 204 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:21,480 defensive teams in the league. I think Boston is able 205 00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:25,759 to Some teams aren't able to control pace, tempo against 206 00:11:25,759 --> 00:11:28,159 a team that's like Miami that wants to go fast, 207 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,720 and then Boston, you always have the thought process they're 208 00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:35,679 gonna shoot forty five threes, are they gonna make a 209 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,360 bunch tonight or are they gonna miss a bunch? So 210 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,720 I think for me, a lot depends on whether or 211 00:11:40,799 --> 00:11:44,159 not Monday's Monday Nights one o nine allowed to Philly 212 00:11:45,039 --> 00:11:47,240 was a sign of things to come for Miami, and 213 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,360 they're gonna start to lock down a little bit. They 214 00:11:49,399 --> 00:11:51,720 don't have to so much as they can score if 215 00:11:51,759 --> 00:11:54,399 that's the case, then maybe we want under. 216 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: I think, so I'll listen to all these guys talk 217 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,120 on the east side. They said how many Hawks was 218 00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:03,559 talking about like it was one of the best half 219 00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:09,519 times ever, pretty much saying, you know, Tyler Hero and Bam, 220 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,559 you know we're leading and you know everybody's just following them, 221 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,120 and it was one of their best performances. That's what 222 00:12:15,159 --> 00:12:19,600 he said. And then uh, they asked Hero, they're talking 223 00:12:19,639 --> 00:12:21,879 to Tyl the Hero. He was just talking about you know, 224 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,200 they were just stressing playing harder. Everybody knows the situation 225 00:12:25,519 --> 00:12:28,679 they're in right now towards the end of the season. Bam, 226 00:12:28,879 --> 00:12:31,559 same thing, you say, we know it's at stake. So 227 00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:37,919 a combination of that, and you look at that second. 228 00:12:38,039 --> 00:12:40,360 I mean you look at the game. Yes, their last game, 229 00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:43,039 sixty percent of the time they were playing his own. 230 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,159 You know you want to you want you want to 231 00:12:45,159 --> 00:12:46,799 teams playing his own if you wanted to over. 232 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 2: No, but let me ask you this, is it smart 233 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,600 to zone Boston the way they shoot threes? 234 00:12:54,799 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: Well they could out of the zone. That can be 235 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:03,919 a debate. Regardless, I think that you know Boston plays 236 00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:06,279 at the slowest pace in the League this season, I 237 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,360 think Miami will be willing to slow their pace, especially 238 00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:11,840 after Bam and Hero played what forty something men this 239 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:17,080 last game. I think we get less pace, more defense 240 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,720 from both sides. I mean the Celtics are off for 241 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:24,200 lost too. Celtics off for lost this year on this team, 242 00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:27,360 totals are what eighteen and six to the under? That 243 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:28,799 tells you what they're gonna come out there and do. 244 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,080 They're strapping up after the loss. You're not getting any 245 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,279 easy buckets, so I like under in this game. You know? 246 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,840 How about how about this heat? Last five totals were 247 00:13:39,879 --> 00:13:44,039 two forty plus. We were looking at what eight and 248 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,320 a half today excep to two thirty now, But looks 249 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,960 so easy to go take that over? What do you think? 250 00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 2: You know? But I think I laugh every time you 251 00:13:54,039 --> 00:13:57,960 say Boston plays at the slowest tempo because I go 252 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,240 all the way pack to November for Jaylen Brown lying 253 00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:06,039 to you. This is no track of me. He's lying 254 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:11,240 to you. You know, the numbers tell the story. He 255 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,039 was lying to me. I fell for it in the 256 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,960 beginning of the year, but now we know, and with 257 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:21,360 Jason Tatum back, they're just that much better. Defensively. So yeah, again, 258 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,039 it's funny too. The one thought that ran through my 259 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,320 head while you were talking is we kind of wait, 260 00:14:27,679 --> 00:14:29,360 guys like you and I that bet these games. We 261 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,120 kind of wait all season long for teams to play 262 00:14:33,159 --> 00:14:35,679 with this type of focus, like play play the game, 263 00:14:35,759 --> 00:14:40,120 don't screwball around bench guys don't care. Everybody seems to 264 00:14:40,159 --> 00:14:42,799 care now when it matters. So maybe it makes the 265 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,120 handicaps a little more. I don't want to say easier 266 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,759 because we want to win bets here or I don't 267 00:14:48,759 --> 00:14:52,360 want to jinx myself, but maybe what we're handicapping is 268 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,720 more true to the core than it has been all 269 00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:55,360 season long. 270 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:02,639 Speaker 1: I agree with that. I definitely agree with that. Yeah, 271 00:15:02,759 --> 00:15:04,360 I like that, unduring this when I disagree with the 272 00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:06,919 move up. I got a worst number. I got two 273 00:15:06,919 --> 00:15:09,399 twenty eight and a half, but I don't think they 274 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:14,039 make it two twenty Bucks and Rockets. Oh man, Rob, 275 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,399 this is a stinker. I feel like I should just 276 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,240 not waste anybody's time. I'm done. I've nothing smart to 277 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,360 say about this game. Is there anything you would like 278 00:15:26,399 --> 00:15:29,039 to talk about with the Bucks and the Rockets? 279 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 2: Real quick? I was only joking yesterday when I said 280 00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:35,000 it might be Glenn Rivers appreciation that he made the 281 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,200 Hall of Fame and Milwaukee came out and smoked Dallas 282 00:15:38,279 --> 00:15:42,679 for their head coach. That probably doesn't happen again tonight. 283 00:15:42,799 --> 00:15:47,879 I really think it. Because they're Houston, I'm able to 284 00:15:47,919 --> 00:15:51,000 get this price. But their team total is one seventeen, 285 00:15:51,879 --> 00:15:54,240 and I've made a pretty good amount of or cash, 286 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,600 a pretty good amount of bats. As I've said off 287 00:15:56,679 --> 00:16:00,559 in here, playing Milwaukee games over in some capacity, whether 288 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,559 I just fade their defense, which I'll do tonight, or 289 00:16:03,559 --> 00:16:06,039 whether or not I play the full game over their lineup. 290 00:16:06,159 --> 00:16:10,000 Now with Gary Trent back in there, they've got some 291 00:16:10,039 --> 00:16:12,279 scoring ability, but I don't want to include them against 292 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,120 the Houston defense. The one thing you worry about is 293 00:16:14,159 --> 00:16:16,200 Houston's off the back to back. They played the Knicks 294 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,320 last night. That was a big game, but they didn't 295 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,360 you know, they didn't play really hard minutes. Nobody played 296 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,440 a lot, Nobody had to really go out of their 297 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,720 way the last six minutes to preserve that win. So 298 00:16:30,799 --> 00:16:33,039 to me, the way Milwaukee's been giving up points, I 299 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,480 just see Houston getting to win eighteen here tonight. So 300 00:16:35,559 --> 00:16:37,440 that's the way I did play this one. By the way, 301 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,639 for those watching, I did play Houston up and over 302 00:16:40,679 --> 00:16:43,840 their team total. Just I'd like to focus in and 303 00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:47,279 just continue what I've been doing. Fade Milwaukee's defense. 304 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,679 Speaker 1: I get it. I mean they played a better defensive 305 00:16:50,679 --> 00:16:53,600 game yesterday, but before that, I mean giving it up 306 00:16:53,639 --> 00:16:58,080 like clockwork. So definitely can understand. You do have both 307 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,639 of these teams on a back to back, so maybe 308 00:17:01,879 --> 00:17:08,799 let's defense from both. All right, Kings and Raptors opened 309 00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:11,720 up minus twelve, still twelve total, open two twenty six 310 00:17:11,759 --> 00:17:14,759 and is down to as low as two twenty four 311 00:17:14,759 --> 00:17:18,680 and a half. Scottie Barnes is questionable, ingram is out 312 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:23,319 quickly is out, battles out for Sacramento, no Westbrook, and 313 00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:29,559 no Murray. I mean, damn you know, these are some 314 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:34,079 bad games. You have the Kings playing what is this 315 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,400 their fourth straight road game? Yes, no, fifth straight road 316 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,480 game the end of a road trip. They have lost 317 00:17:40,599 --> 00:17:44,200 every single game. It is second of it back to 318 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,160 back for the Raptors, third and four nights as well. 319 00:17:46,519 --> 00:17:48,559 They come off of that l versus the Pistons last 320 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,640 night and have to travel back to Canada. I mean, 321 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,519 Detroit from Canada is not far, they're right next to 322 00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:58,000 each other. So the Raptors, I mean absolutely a team 323 00:17:58,039 --> 00:18:00,440 that needs the game more than the Kings. Gonna double 324 00:18:00,519 --> 00:18:02,559 check where they are in the standings. I know twelve 325 00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:04,759 point spread is not you know, what they need, but 326 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,559 they're in that sixth spot, half a game behind Atlanta 327 00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:13,400 in one game from being in the playing Probably for 328 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,359 that reason, I would look towards I would look towards 329 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,000 the Rappers, whether it's the first half or I feel 330 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,119 like the and I'm gonna check it before I pass 331 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,720 it to you or while I pass it to you. 332 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,559 But I feel like the Raptors have been better in 333 00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:28,480 the first half than the second half. Maybe Raptors first half. 334 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,039 How many thoughts from you here? 335 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 2: You know, yeah, I was going to play Toronto team 336 00:18:35,799 --> 00:18:38,240 total for a lot of the reasons you described. Feel 337 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,880 like Sacramento is just playing out the string on the road. 338 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,559 They're no good on deepense anyway. And you know, for Toronto, 339 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,440 you face Detroit last night, who brought all their bigs 340 00:18:48,519 --> 00:18:51,119 back into the lineup. That's this is a severe step 341 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,880 down in class defensively what they're gonna face tonight. But 342 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,359 then you know they go ahead and scratch Ingram and 343 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,279 maybe they're gonna scratch Barns, And I start thinking, I 344 00:19:00,279 --> 00:19:03,519 don't know that I want the over anymore. Without these guys, 345 00:19:03,519 --> 00:19:07,200 they could get there quickly. He's already out, But I 346 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,079 don't know. I don't think I want to take the chance. 347 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,519 Toronto does need to win, doesn't mean they have to 348 00:19:11,559 --> 00:19:15,240 win by thirteen. Also doesn't mean that the Kings can't 349 00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:18,000 lose by nineteen, because they're more than capable of that too. 350 00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:20,880 So too many questions for me, Ski, I let it go. 351 00:19:22,599 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel you. On that Raptors as a home favorite, Well, 352 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,200 let's actually expand this. See they've been doing lately more 353 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,119 than just five games three and oh is a home 354 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,960 favorite one and on a back to back. Let me 355 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,680 just look at the season Raptors. Actually, yeah, see, here 356 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,519 we go. This is what I was thinking. The Raptors 357 00:19:46,559 --> 00:19:49,720 as a home favorite are twelve and fourteen ats, but 358 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:55,240 seventeen and nine ats in the first half. They they 359 00:19:55,599 --> 00:19:59,599 have played some stink, some bad second halves, and I 360 00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:01,599 think this is a game where they should be focused. 361 00:20:02,759 --> 00:20:04,279 You should get a really good effort, at least for 362 00:20:04,279 --> 00:20:09,000 twenty four minutes. Raptor's first half is a Pilly anything 363 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,599 else getting to get out. Yeah, any reason to talk 364 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,279 me off of the first half. 365 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 2: What's the number six and a half? 366 00:20:18,519 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm pulling that up now. I'm assuming it gets 367 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,920 six and a half with the twelve point spread and 368 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:25,960 it's seven. 369 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,799 Speaker 2: They bumped it even higher on you. But still to 370 00:20:30,839 --> 00:20:34,920 your point, I mean, even without ingram if in fact 371 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,960 Barnes does play and Sacramento I mentioned this yesterday really quick. 372 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,960 These teams that are clustered at the bottom of the 373 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,480 win totals Sacramento nineteen, Wizards and Pacers with seventeen each, 374 00:20:47,559 --> 00:20:50,119 Brooklyn with eighteen while fighting each other to lose the 375 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:55,640 most games right now, Sacramento's totally not trying. Some of 376 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,160 these teams do love to go out and get themselves 377 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,920 buried in the first half and then play a better 378 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,000 second half and make it look like they're trying, you 379 00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:04,759 know what I mean, They just kind of disguise the 380 00:21:04,759 --> 00:21:09,480 way they lose games. Right, it's so the first half. 381 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,440 If Toronto's really good at first half numbers wise, it's 382 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:14,519 probably worth the book. 383 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: And also, I just checked the Kings have covered one 384 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,200 of their last five first halfs, so definitely gonna put 385 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,279 that on my short list. I like that one. 386 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 2: Let's just get buried early and that will make pretend 387 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:27,279 we care. 388 00:21:30,039 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: Great out. I like that one. Pacers and Bulls opener 389 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,200 was four and a half. Looks like four photo went 390 00:21:39,279 --> 00:21:41,640 up from two forty three. That's as two forty seven 391 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,240 and a half. Let's see who is and wow, you 392 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:51,240 have Jakobe Walker, aaron Ne Smith, Andrew nimhar TJ McConnell 393 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:57,400 all out ob topping Pascal Siakam, both probable for the Bulls. 394 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:02,400 You have Josh Giddy questionable, Nick Richard's questionable, Yabouselli questionable, 395 00:22:02,519 --> 00:22:04,839 and Simon's out. A lot can be missing in this one. 396 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,359 You know, I've been wanting to, you know, expect the 397 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,920 Patris to score in recent games. But a lot of 398 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,359 those guys I trust because like they're not gonna play 399 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,119 McConnell's the pace if Pong guard played from nim Hars 400 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,279 scoring from him shooting from the Smith. I don't like 401 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,119 missing all those guys, as well as the possibility of 402 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,319 Giddy missing. So uh, with all those question marks are 403 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,079 guys out. I could not agree with the total going up, 404 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,640 and I don't view the Bulls as a team. I 405 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,359 want to lay with. I mean, the thing with the 406 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,319 Pacers is when they had the guys in the lineup, 407 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,880 they play hard, they play good. When the guys are 408 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,039 now in the lineup, it's like they don't care no more. 409 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,079 So this is a tough game for me. You know, 410 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:44,640 what do you think? 411 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,519 Speaker 2: I think they've won too many games recently. And then 412 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,640 coach has to start paying Yeah, they have to say, 413 00:22:54,079 --> 00:22:58,200 oh no, we're tied with Washington at seventeen. Everybody sits tonight. 414 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,240 And it's a shame because it's almost one of those 415 00:23:02,279 --> 00:23:05,319 where if guys were playing, I would be in that 416 00:23:06,319 --> 00:23:09,920 kind of why even fight it attitude because the totals 417 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,480 and Bulls games have been outrageously high, and this one 418 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,839 was bet up to this point. Ski. This didn't start 419 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,119 to forty seven and a half. This thing started around 420 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,319 the two forty three range, and people just piled on 421 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,480 because in bulls games, why not Like I look at 422 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,359 these totals and I'm like, man, that's too high for me, 423 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,440 too richer, And then the Bulls, you know, go out 424 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,960 in total two sixty and I'm like, well, why why 425 00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:36,119 even fight it? Just played bulls games over But to 426 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:41,119 your point, when you start seeing all these absences from 427 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,920 the lineups, I get the defenses of liability on both sides, 428 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:47,880 and you know, the guys that are on the floor 429 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,440 are still NBA players and want to put up some numbers. 430 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,680 But you want to get the two fifty with a 431 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,160 bunch of reserves. It's not easy. It's just not that easy. 432 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,799 I know they're playing. Both of these teams actually are 433 00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:04,599 playing kind of like an All Star game mentality, especially 434 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,960 the Bulls Now the Pacers I think are nine to 435 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,960 one team total over last ten, nine and one over 436 00:24:10,079 --> 00:24:13,240 last ten. They've covered like seven or eight straight. Been 437 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,000 too good. Tonight's a good night to take off if 438 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,720 you're Indienna, So I'll stay off that game, all right. 439 00:24:20,839 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: Nixon Grizzlies. This one came down, keeps going down from 440 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,920 sixteen and a half now it's thirteen and a half. 441 00:24:28,519 --> 00:24:33,240 Total's going up though to twenty two as was the opener, 442 00:24:33,319 --> 00:24:36,279 and now it's as high as two twenty six and 443 00:24:36,319 --> 00:24:40,319 a half out there. Looking at the injury report, Shaman 444 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,720 is questionable, Mitchell Robinson is doubtful, Todd Gibson is questionable, 445 00:24:43,839 --> 00:24:47,319 Hendrick is doubtful, Ti Jerome is out, and you know, 446 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:49,799 If you know me, you know what that means. Tie 447 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,119 Jerome out, I'm out. There's no way I'm betting the Grizzlies. 448 00:24:54,079 --> 00:24:55,759 And I probably won't bet the Necks either. I mean, 449 00:24:55,799 --> 00:24:57,480 it's not a good spot for them. It's there, what 450 00:24:58,039 --> 00:25:01,240 fourth straight road game, and it's back to back and 451 00:25:01,319 --> 00:25:04,319 all these points. I mean, Knicks have lost three straight. 452 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,200 They should be hungry and want to come out there 453 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,279 and win. But that's also means they're not playing good basketball. 454 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:14,160 So this is probably one I will not bet. What 455 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,200 do you think about this game? 456 00:25:16,839 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 2: I think I would love to play the Knicks offense 457 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,640 in a bounce back situation. Ninety four last night against 458 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,880 Houston just not a good offensive effort, But that's a 459 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,799 really good defense when they want to be and Memphis. 460 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,920 You combine that with the fact that Memphis has been 461 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,599 an absolutely brutal defense last ten, last five, last ten, 462 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,079 last twenty whatever you want to look up. Give up 463 00:25:39,079 --> 00:25:42,400 one thirty one the other night game, totals two forty 464 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,440 nine against the Bulls, give up one nineteen to the Rockets, 465 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,440 one twenty three to the Spurs, one forty six to 466 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,559 the Hawks. I could go on and on about this defense. 467 00:25:49,599 --> 00:25:53,559 They just haven't been good, so the Knicks should score. 468 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,680 My inclination is to just take that side of it, 469 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,640 because the Knicks also they're in the three spot, not 470 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,000 really in danger of coming out of the top four 471 00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:05,759 where you get a home floor advantage, but they could 472 00:26:05,799 --> 00:26:08,680 slide behind Cleveland. They're only a game ahead of Cleveland 473 00:26:08,759 --> 00:26:12,079 right now for the three spot, so some importance to them. 474 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,000 I just I would like to be able to trust 475 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,039 the Knicks offense against a very very bad defense here tonight, 476 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,480 thinking that the Knicks let me look really quick here 477 00:26:21,559 --> 00:26:23,839 Ski with this team told I saw one nineteen and 478 00:26:23,839 --> 00:26:26,359 a half earlier, but I want to make sure that 479 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,519 that's even correct. Yeah, we're looking at one twenty and 480 00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:33,119 a half right now for the Knicks, which still against Memphis. 481 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,119 One twenty one should be doable for New York. Memphis 482 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,519 allows it, so maybe that's like a maybe play one 483 00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:42,279 that's on the short list, as you'd like to say, 484 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,599 nixt team total over. 485 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: Fair enough Nuggets and Jazz, two forty nine is as 486 00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:54,160 high as two forty nine and a half is what 487 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,799 we're looking at there with a seventeen point spread not 488 00:26:58,039 --> 00:27:00,920 already just makes me uncomfortable, but I mean the Nuggets 489 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:06,079 do score injuries, Aaron Gordon, probable NAUSEI out, Jones, out, 490 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:12,759 Collier E Sean, George Arkless and marketing all out. I mean, 491 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,000 you know, Utah is still gonna play fast and they 492 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,240 don't have a whole lot of defense. Nuggets don't play defense. 493 00:27:19,839 --> 00:27:23,079 This number is high, though, But I don't really want 494 00:27:23,079 --> 00:27:25,480 to be better in these two teams under. It's just 495 00:27:25,519 --> 00:27:26,599 how I feel. What do you think? 496 00:27:27,759 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would not play it under. They just played 497 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,720 four days ago and they scored two sixty four. The 498 00:27:32,759 --> 00:27:35,640 Nuggets really didn't care. Utah had the lead almost the 499 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,880 whole way and then realized we can't win a game 500 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,240 in Denver. Realize we need to win a game in Denver. 501 00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:45,440 Wins one thirty five nine with a crazy last seven 502 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,559 minutes of the game, but still to sixty four. It 503 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,960 just goes to show you what Denver thinks of playing Utah. Like, 504 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,759 in my mind, Utah is one of those teams they 505 00:27:54,839 --> 00:27:58,200 like have no shame whatsoever, Like they'll do anything possible. 506 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,519 It just doesn't matter to them, and they've been giving 507 00:28:02,519 --> 00:28:06,559 it up like crazy. It doesn't really matter what group 508 00:28:06,599 --> 00:28:09,160 they put on the floor though. Ski they managed to score, 509 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,599 and like you say, Denver allows it again. I just 510 00:28:13,599 --> 00:28:16,519 said this about Indiana Chicago. I look at these numbers 511 00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:19,279 and I think, oh, that's too high for me too, 512 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,799 forty nine. As much as I like overs, it seems 513 00:28:21,839 --> 00:28:25,400 too high. And then the other side of my head says, well, 514 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,519 why even fight it. All you see is overs out 515 00:28:27,559 --> 00:28:30,160 of these two teams. But I'm probably gonna let this 516 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,400 one go Denver. We set it three and a half 517 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,440 weeks ago. They needed to stack wins. They hit the 518 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,920 gas pedal. They have stacked wins. They're now into that 519 00:28:40,039 --> 00:28:44,039 four spot, and one more probably keeps them in that 520 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,839 top four spot. They'll they'll have a home floor advantage 521 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,240 in some capacity at least first round. So I think 522 00:28:50,279 --> 00:28:52,599 they want it. Whether they want to win it by eighteen, 523 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,880 not sure. No, we are in Gordon also means when 524 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,440 he doesn't play, they stink defensively. Wow, they're not pay 525 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,480 good one. Oh he's probably okay. If he were to 526 00:29:03,519 --> 00:29:05,839 be out, I would really maybe look a little harder, 527 00:29:05,839 --> 00:29:07,160 but I'll take a pass on that. 528 00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: Spurs and Warriors, Uh yeah, I could only bet the Spurs. 529 00:29:15,559 --> 00:29:19,920 I mean, they just continue to continue to roll. This 530 00:29:20,039 --> 00:29:22,880 Warriors team feel like, you know, they'ven been embracing the 531 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,440 tank for a while. This injury, this is long, Spurs 532 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:27,920 are passed. 533 00:29:28,359 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 2: But you got you know, yeah, I will say that, 534 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,680 and you know me, I read these quotes all the time. 535 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,640 I'm thoroughly sick of Steve Kerk talking about, oh, the injuries, 536 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,720 Oh the injury. So stop it with the injuries, dude, 537 00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:46,559 because even if you're not injured, you scheduled losses for 538 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:51,640 this team when you weren't injured. So but I will 539 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,359 apply everything I said about Detroit yesterday and have said 540 00:29:54,359 --> 00:29:57,319 all season long that they just play, that they come 541 00:29:57,359 --> 00:30:00,599 to play every single night. It doesn't matter. That's the Spurs, 542 00:30:01,359 --> 00:30:03,279 ones in the east, ones in the West, and I 543 00:30:03,319 --> 00:30:05,559 still think the Spurs. I was listening to a couple 544 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,319 of quotes and there seems to be a little back 545 00:30:08,359 --> 00:30:12,440 and forth now between Wemby and SGA over this MVP thing. 546 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:17,039 But from a team perspective, san Antonio seems to want 547 00:30:17,079 --> 00:30:19,319 to just keep trying to chase down. Okay, see for 548 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,079 that number one seed. Now, mathematically it's still possible seventy 549 00:30:23,079 --> 00:30:25,039 five games played there, two and a half out, so 550 00:30:25,079 --> 00:30:29,519 you got seven left, could be done. But they're not. 551 00:30:29,759 --> 00:30:31,880 You know, they're pretty secure in that two spot and 552 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,559 they're not holding back at all. They're actually trying to 553 00:30:35,559 --> 00:30:37,920 get that one spout. So you have to figure san Antonio. 554 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,640 They score every night big. Their team total here really 555 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,599 quick against this broken down Golden State defense. One twenty 556 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,359 and a half is definitely doable for san Antonio. Seems 557 00:30:49,359 --> 00:30:51,079 like they wake up out of bed and score one 558 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:55,279 twenty So I could see some form of san Antonio there. 559 00:30:55,400 --> 00:31:01,000 Golden State just too small, don't care enough, and seeing 560 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,720 Antonio is the exact opposite. 561 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,519 Speaker 1: I agree. That is the NBA show for today. Man, 562 00:31:08,559 --> 00:31:10,839 there's some stinkers on this card. It's six double digit 563 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,640 spreads and we have what nine games, six out of 564 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:19,960 nine double digits. That's crazy. But we'll move it on 565 00:31:20,079 --> 00:31:22,240 over to or before we move it to best bets, 566 00:31:22,319 --> 00:31:26,640 let's do the promo and we still have the buy three, 567 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,480 get three free at six days for just sixty nine dollars. 568 00:31:30,079 --> 00:31:31,759 That is a good one to get involved with if 569 00:31:31,799 --> 00:31:34,279 you want to do a little longer all in for 570 00:31:34,319 --> 00:31:37,480 the year. Ultimately all access comes out to just under 571 00:31:37,519 --> 00:31:40,279 four dollars a day, and if you were to go, 572 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,279 you know, purchase Rob Vino. For a year, you receive 573 00:31:43,319 --> 00:31:46,599 a twenty five percent bonus coupon that you can use 574 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,559 on anything for anybody else. So if you wanna check 575 00:31:49,599 --> 00:31:52,039 me out too, that's a good way to do it 576 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,920 as well. And this is this is the one that 577 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,000 I think is why I don't still have this. That's 578 00:31:57,039 --> 00:32:01,559 my bad. I'm bad for having this up there. This 579 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,839 is the one that I think is I mean, the 580 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,440 best for this show right now. NBA playoffs plus the 581 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,319 rest of the regular season comes out to just under 582 00:32:13,359 --> 00:32:17,519 two hundred dollars nine and we still have what three 583 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,519 May June, I mean April May June. We have about 584 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,279 two and a half months of basketball left. And this 585 00:32:24,359 --> 00:32:27,599 is the good basketball. This is where where we usually 586 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,160 do some good work, Ravino and myself. So Vino, I 587 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,000 know you'll mention you mentioned that, you know, you talked 588 00:32:35,039 --> 00:32:37,559 to the office and if anybody was interested, they could 589 00:32:37,599 --> 00:32:41,079 reach out for a combination of you know, trying to 590 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:45,160 put you and I together for NBA playoffs. So other 591 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,839 than that, or if you want to expand on that 592 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,680 or whatever, is there anything else you would like to 593 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,039 promote And if you have a best bet for the show, 594 00:32:51,079 --> 00:32:52,839 we'd love to hear it. If you don't, it's okay. 595 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll say real quick that you know, those who 596 00:32:56,279 --> 00:32:59,000 watch the show know that you know Ski and I 597 00:32:59,039 --> 00:33:01,759 have been here covering the end since day one. So 598 00:33:02,279 --> 00:33:04,720 we're waiting for these playoffs where we can actually, as 599 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,720 I said earlier, handicap stuff. That's true basketball. And you 600 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,640 could see by the records. Ski's been on a really 601 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,960 really nice role extended period of time. I had a 602 00:33:14,039 --> 00:33:17,960 terrific march. It actually extends back to February, so we're 603 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,680 both in pretty good form as of now. And the 604 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,240 office did respond. So anybody who's interested in maybe paying 605 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,839 less for both of our plays, I think they were 606 00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:29,559 only going to crank it up by like fifty bucks. 607 00:33:29,559 --> 00:33:32,279 It went from one ninety nine to maybe two forty nine. 608 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,279 But again, that package is available for anybody who would 609 00:33:36,319 --> 00:33:38,960 like to just get both of us. We do. I 610 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,359 had enough sense. Sometimes were handicap similar sometimes we handicap 611 00:33:42,359 --> 00:33:44,319 a little differently. But you'll get a good variety if 612 00:33:44,359 --> 00:33:48,000 you do combo up. Let's go to best bet here, Ski, 613 00:33:48,279 --> 00:33:52,480 I will I got a choice here of what I 614 00:33:52,559 --> 00:33:56,759 really want to do, and I'm pretty sure I'm on 615 00:33:56,839 --> 00:34:00,640 the same wavelength as you in one of them. So 616 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,680 I'll let that one go, and I'm gonna go ahead 617 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,200 and go to the back to the top of the board, 618 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,759 and I'll play the team total that I like here, 619 00:34:07,799 --> 00:34:11,000 which is the seventy six ers. We explained earlier, Washington 620 00:34:11,159 --> 00:34:15,559 off of the extended West Coast road trip, Washington bad defense, 621 00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:20,199 no center, and Philly without mb does play quicker through 622 00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:22,199 off a bad offensive performance, and maybe it was a 623 00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:25,679 good Miami defensive performance. I'm not sure, but I do 624 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,280 think Philadelphia, who has owned Washington all season long and 625 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,800 scored in this range or above every time they've played them. 626 00:34:33,119 --> 00:34:36,119 So give me Philly team total over one twenty six 627 00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:37,760 and a half, best bet for the show. 628 00:34:38,519 --> 00:34:42,159 Speaker 1: Good stuff for myself, I will go with I'll go 629 00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:43,960 with that Boston and Miami game. You can get a 630 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,079 better number than I did. I got two twenty eight 631 00:34:46,079 --> 00:34:48,239 and a half. You can get two thirty and a half. 632 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,039 I like it under I gave you plenty of reasons 633 00:34:51,039 --> 00:34:56,559 why earlier, but yeah, it's a reason why Miami's totals 634 00:34:56,559 --> 00:34:58,960 have been two forty plus the past five games, and 635 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,000 now we're looking at it. You know, two twenty nine 636 00:35:01,039 --> 00:35:03,719 and a half through thirty after it's gone up, So 637 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,400 I'm rocking with the under. I expect strong defense from 638 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,920 the Celtics, strong defense from the heat. That would be 639 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,119 my best bet for the show. Vino. I do always 640 00:35:13,159 --> 00:35:14,960 appreciate you taking the time to break the games down 641 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,639 with me.
