  Speaker 1: Yep. Inside I want to kill myself. We are on
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: OWN seven run over the last two days after tonight.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: It was just complete bullshit.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: So that's that's I'm gonna start off this show horrible
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Sunday one and five.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what to tell you above that.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I just don't want to do this anymore. I have
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: never seen anything like this.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Man with the slump continuing, two straight losses, not a
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: good day at all.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Own four that have not had a good season.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Man with wookends the slump that I'm on, and the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: slump continues.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I've reached into peak. Actually, I'm going to burn my
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: brons hat Man. I don't know what is going on
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: with the Bruins. Arch Hape? Is that what it is?
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I don't even know it's list It's March ninth, I
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: think who even knows? Man, I don't know what data
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: is anymore. I don't even know what data is anymore.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Man, back with you after the worst day that I
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: could possibly have, Back with you as I always am
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: until I die at least oh and two.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Yesterday and yesterday did not go well for me.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Own five the worst month that I've ever had in
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: my eighteen years doing this.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to even tell you about this anymore.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: To the slump, praise, the slump discontinuous, the slump continues.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Somebody fucking kill me, please.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what I should do at this
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: point other than potentially.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: End it all.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: What's up, everybody, It's towed back with you, toadstool sports.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: This is gonna be the NBA Playoff bracket special, if
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: you want to call it that. I just did the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: NHL one, so if people miss that, they can go
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: check that out.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Thanks everybody for hanging out for that one.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I forgot to talk about some of the first round
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: matchups that we kind of glossed over, which probably we
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: shouldn't because you know, NHL even NBA like it's competitive enough.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: It's not like a sixteen versus one in March madness,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you know, where you can just forget about it in
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: gloss over it.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: So you know what I will say, I guess is
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: that yeah.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think Colorado was kind of a mismatch
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: over the Kings. I mean, obviously Colorado is the biggest
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: first round favorite. Kings are just not even really good
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: at home, and they were in the playoffs last year,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: but they were a lot better at home last year
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and that still didn't really help them. They were competitive,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: i think against Edmonton last year, but didn't get them
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: through obviously, But now that they're not even a good
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: home team, I just don't see it happening for them.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Montreal is still a young team.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I think they've been in the playoffs once recently, probably
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: just not ready yet. So again, I mean, we have
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the lightning winning the whole thing. But yeah, obviously I
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: think the lightning experience is going to carry them through
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: against Montreal, obviously, is what I think. And then yeah,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I mean I'm a little bit more worried about Carolina
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: against Ottawa. I think Ottawa might have a goaltending advance
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: with Ollmark there because he has really experienced where Caroline
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: is kind of alternating between Bussy and Anderson.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Anderson has a lot of experience Bussy does not.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean that could become an issue at
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: some point for Carolina if they don't figure out that
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: goaltending situation there.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: And just to side on one go with the guy,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And like Bruins, I mean I think pretty much,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be swaying in there, and I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: think they have the better goaltending over Buffalo, so I'm
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: definitely okay with going with them in that first round matchup.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I think that's pretty much all I had to say
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: about any of that. And then, yeah, I mean I
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: briefly mentioned Vegas and Utah. Vegas, you know, they're probably
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: fine going into Elevation and playing against Utah there. It's
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: not really that far of a trip for them, at
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the very least. Probably all I had to say. Anaheim
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: is a good home team. They're playing against Edmonton, but
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be one of those ones where there's a
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: lot of travel involved, so the home team probably has
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a little bit more of an I think that's the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: series that has the most travel between both teams. I
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: believe maybe it's Mantrea, could be Montreal in Tampa, I'm
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: not sure. Like that travel is kind of crazy those series.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: The home home factor, home advantage like is going to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: be a little bit more in those series. Yeah, Charles,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: what's up, Zach, what's up? Thanks for hanging out? Yeah, busy,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get into the NBA here. NBA, I
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: mean it's a bit different. I mean, there's more of
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a gap in the NBA. NHL is just a closer sport.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: NBA like usually the better teams pretty much rise to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the top, so NBA gets really chalky sometimes.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: My NHL is not that chockey like.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I had Florida winning it last year and they were
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: three seeds, so I'm not always chalk. But my bracket
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: was a little bit choky. But of course we did
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: not take Colorado or anything like that, so it wasn't
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: really that chocky. All right, NBA, we know who the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: matchups all are, and I think the odds probably are
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: are all out now as we know. The Magic took
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: out the very hot Charlotte Hornets. I told you this
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: morning man that that line was at least too high.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I did not expect the Magic to win in a blowout,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: but I thought experience might come into play in that game.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: The Magic that was crazy, So the Magic will play
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the Pistons and the other eight seed that got through
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: was the Phoenix.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Suns, which we won.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: My last play of the day on the Sun's cover
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and I watched the end of the game. Got kind
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: of stupid. Draymond Green got himself thrown out of the game.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I think he got in a fight with Booker maybe
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and they both got thrown out at the end. Very
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: very stupid Draymond Green. He's a dick dude. Never a
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: fan of that guy. Cheap player. I know he's a
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: really good defender, maybe not so much anymore, but ridiculous anyway,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the Suns will play the Thunder. I don't think this
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: is really gonna matter. I don't think I'm gonna.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Pick either eight seed spoil.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I'm picking both one seeds to win
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: in the first round. All right, let's take a look.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: We got to pick our champion first, man. We got
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: to build this thing backwards. The Thunder are obviously the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: team with the best odds, and actually they're plus one ten,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: which is almost fifty to fifty you know, implied probability
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: forty seven point six y two, although, of course you
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: know that.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Their actual odds are probably a little bit less.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Than that because the books are not going to give
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you what the actual odds are, you know what I mean,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: because they need to win money, so it's probably more
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: like forty three percent or something like that. Uh, the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Spurs are the second most. Sorry, the Thunder are the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: most picked team. I know, that's that's surprising, obviously shocking
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that the most the majority of people, not the majority
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: of people, but the most picked champion here is the Thunder.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: But they're only being picked thirty three point three three percent,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and their actual implied probability, like I said, like fourteen
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: percent higher than that, So we might be picking the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Thunder here.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: NBA.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Man, it's chalky, and people try to get cute with
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: this thing, and maybe they shouldn't. The Spurs are the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: second most pick team at twenty three point three to one.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I just don't think the Spurs are ready yet.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: It's just I know Wemby is the best defensive player
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: in the NBA, he's a freak whatever, but the.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Experience just isn't there. I don't see it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Even though they do have the second best odds it's
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: plus five hundred, they're at sixteen point six seven percent
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: implied probability, So the Spurs are actually negative leverage, So
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: you should not pick the Spurs. My Boston Celtics are
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: picked the third most of fourteen point five four percent.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Their actual odds are plus five point fifty. They have
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the third best odds to win. That's fifteen point three
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: eight percent, So there's a little bit of positive leverage
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: there on the Celtics, I guess not much if you
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: factor in like the vague and whatever. There really isn't
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: any though, And then the Nuggets are being picked at
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: seven point four to eight percent. Nuggets, you drop down
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to plus eight point fifty on them, which isn't too bad, right.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: The Nuggets have a lot of experience. I don't know
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: if I trust their deepfense, man, I mean, Jokic kind
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: of seems like he's kind of carrying this team, and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: maybe that's not enough to have one player really carrying it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know they have some depth there. They
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: got some guys back, Aaron Gordon improves their deepfense. They
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: have a ton of experience, so that's true. The Nuggets
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: are actually positive leverage if you want them at ten
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: point five to three percent, so there are like a
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: few positive leverage points there. Pistons are being picked the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: next most at six point two six percent. The public
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: seems to realize the Pistons are not great as a
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: one seed, although they are the second most picked team
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference here, with obviously the Celtics being
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the most we might wind up picking the Celtics anyway
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to win the East.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know yet. It's really not surprising.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, the public bracket here has thunder Spurs on
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: one side and Piston Celtics on the other side. But
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I think we're gonna differentiate differentiate our bracket a little
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: bit in some of those picks there. Okay, but yeah,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the Pistons six point two six percent, they are. It's
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: very telling. The Pistons are down at twenty two to one.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: They have worse odds to win the championship than the
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Calves and the Knicks. So there's no way we're taking
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the Pistons to win the championship.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: No way.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: They're also two inexperience at this point man, in my opinion,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Like in the NBA, you really see that become a
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: factor in these prolonged series, you know what I mean.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: When it comes this grind, teams that have been there
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: and done that before to have a pretty big advantage.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: So usually teams have to take kind of those steps
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: stepping stones. Four point three five percent is the implied
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: probability there, so it's negative leverage on them. For the Knicks,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: they're being picked next at four point three six percent.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Their actual odds are plus eighteen hundred, which is five
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: point two six percent, So the Knicks are actually very
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: small positive leverage there. Uh, the Lakers are being picked
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: two point seven seven percent. We'll see if they can
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: get anybody back out of their injured players. They're way
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: down at plus fifteen thousand man Lakers one hundred and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: fifty to one to win the whole thing. The odds
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: makers are telling you it's not happening. Less than one percent.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Imply probability for the Lakers makes me happy, but you know,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and then the Tea Wolves are being picked two point
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: seven one percent. This is it's crazy how some of
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: these percentages work out. They're actually they're what is that
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: one hundred to one?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Is that what that is? Yet? Plus ten thousand. I
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: feel like I'm hearing some weird noises here.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that was anyway, Yeah, they're implied
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: probability is less than one percent as well. Calves at
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: one point eight four percent, but their odds are plus
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: seventeen hundred, So the Calves are actually really big positive
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: leverage five point five six percent. I know, we're getting
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: into like very small percentages here. But I'm just saying
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: this is kind of crazy. The Calves are all the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: way down at one point eight four percent picked, but
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: their probability implied is five point five six, so they're
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: actually a positive leverage play at least. And then the
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Rockets are kind of interesting.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: They're being picked less than the Suns right now to win.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: What is going dude?
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: The Lakers are being picked more than the Rocks, but
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the Rockets are being picked less than the eight seed.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: What is going on here?
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes no sense, dude, It makes absolutely no sense.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: The eight seed is being picked more than the four
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: seed or excuse me, the five seed in the West. Yeah,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: this is all just some crazy stuff here. The Raptor
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: is basically being given no chance as well, but I
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: don't really see them beating the Calves though. But the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Rockets are gonna be positive leverage because the Rockets are
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: actually plus eight thousand, so they're an implied yeah, one
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: point two to three percent, so there is some positive
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: leverage with the Rockets too.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: But anyway, we're picking the Thunder, dude.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: There's actually a lot of positive leverage on the Thunder,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: and they have the best odds to win, So we're
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: doing it. We're picking the Thunder to go back to back.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: It is what it is, you know, the most picked team,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: but they're not being picked enough. There's like fourteen percent
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: positive leverage there or I guess, you know, maybe closer
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to ten percent if you want to factor in all
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the vagan stuff. All right, Who's gonna come out of
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: the East is the next question. The Celtics are plus
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: one fifty five to win the East, Calves are plus
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: three seventy. They have the second best odds to win
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the East, ahead of Detroit plus four twenty five, and
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: then the Knicks plus four fifty and then so on.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: How often are the Celtics being picked to win the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: East is what we kind of have to figure out here,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: because the sixty six percent that they're being picked here
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: in the in the game against the Pistons is literally
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: just the people that have that specific match up. I mean,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the Celtics do have the experience here. If they get
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: through all this, you know, they have an experienced edge
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: of with the Pistons, they'd have home court against the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: rest of these teams. I don't want to be biased,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: but I mean, dude, well, I mean, first of all.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: By the way, just to talk about the Thunder real quick.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: We know the Thunder are insane. I mean, they're obviously
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the best team in the league. They're extremely deep. They
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: did a lot of what they did this year with
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: different guys in and out of the lineup, like Jalen Williams,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: which I think they have two guys with that name,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: but one of them was the better one. The better
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: defender was like injured the whole time or injured for
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of the season like Hart and Stein I
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: think was out for a while too. This Thunder team
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: is just so stacked and so good on both sides
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: of the ball, you know. But the Celtics are pretty stacked,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: you dude, the Celtics. This is supposed to be like
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: a throwaway year for the Celtics, where you know, I
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: have them probably about like fifth in the East this year,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: knowing that Tatum was gonna miss most of the Sea
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: but he's back. He looks He's not one hundred percent,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: but he looks pretty good. Jalen Brown proved that he
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: can be the number one guy this season.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: He took over and the Celtics were able to get
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the two seed in the East without Tatum for most
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: of the season, and you know, like just bringing these
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: guys into the fold. I don't know how they're doing it. Man,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Caida has become like pretty good on the interior, so
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the Celtics aren't just screwed in the paint reeling. I
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: don't know how good he's gonna be with that lack
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: of experience, but with the surrounding cast being very experienced
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and a very good coach in Joe Mizzoula, you know,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I think we will do it. I think we'll just
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: take the Celtics, uh, to get to the to get
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: to the final.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I think that that just is what it is. Man.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I think they're probably being picked a little bit less
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: than what their implied odds are, which were plus one
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: fifty five thirty nine point two two percent to win
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: the East. Well, we know they're being picked less than
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: that because look, I mean they're only being picked. Uh
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: will there be worker point five four to win the
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: whole thing? But yeah, I mean that would implay. Yeah,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: but thirty nine point two two to win the Eastern Conference, Yeah,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I doubt that that many people are picking them.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: To win that it's more than double. So yeah, I
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: think we'll go with it.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, the noons, we're building it back whards thunder. Yeah, everything's.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Mm hm.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Can't click on anything, dude. All right, it seems like
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: it's back now. I don't know if you guys heard
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: me or not. It seems like it's back now. What
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: what's your speech? Is it at LP Colorado or something?
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Plug, yes, please do plug my channel. Every everybody
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: who hates fuck.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Something I'm going on. Fuck, there's something going on here.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: There's something going on with my internet, dude. I don't
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: know what is happening right now. Hold on a minute.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna let me speed test this or something. I
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: didn't get any like notification they were doing anything. They're
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: not working at two am, right, I mean, I'm I
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm navigating everything kind of seems fine.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Navigating the web seems all right right now. I have
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: no idea, dude. But anyway, yeah, I didn't I didn't
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: do anything else. So I'm running a speed test right now.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: They're just just same. I mean, it's looking like pretty
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: accurate here, Um, maybe a little it could be a
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: little bit on the slow end.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: I guess. I don't know.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: No, it looks about right. It's about a gigabit download.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: It seems about right. Upload should be I don't know,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: probably fifty or so megabit. It's about forty.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: It seems close to right. I don't know, I don't know.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: These seem all right, all right. The upload matters more
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: for when we're streaming though. Anyway, all right, who are
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: we taking to get to the East to the Western
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Conference finals? Excuse me to play against the thunder all right?
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: We have the thunder reminus one sixty to win the West.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: We already have them winning it. So oh and I
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: was gonna say with the Celtics, I was gonna say,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: just to wrap that up, I mean, Derek White is
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: like an elite defensive player this year.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: All these are the role players, dude, you know, I
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: mean some of them don't have that much experience. Some
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: of them do.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Be You got like all these three point shooters of
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the Celtics have Pritchard stepping in when other guys are heard.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Celtics played a lot of these games this year with
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: like not even their starting players in there, and they
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: still did this I don't know, man. And then you
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: got Hugo Gonzalez looks like an incredible draft pick late
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: in the first round. He doesn't show up on the
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: stat sheet. And I know he has no experience yet
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: and he's like twenty years old, but if you watch.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: That guy play, he's all over the floor.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Dude, Hugo Gonzalez for the Celtics, he has the best
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's plus minus, but it's like, I
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: don't remember exactly what the stat was, but it's like,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I think it's like your team's point differential. Maybe it
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: is just plus minus. It's like your team's point differential
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: is something. While he's on the floor, he's number one
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: in the NBA, which is insane. I mean, he doesn't
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: play that much, but even in his limited minutes, he
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: does that. Gonzales. He's all over the floor. Man, he's
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: a guy to watch. He plays really really good deffense,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Like he just puts in a massive effort in every
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: single play, you know what I mean. All Right, but
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I'm a Celtics fan, so you know I see more
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: of them. I'm biased anyway. All right, let's figure out
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: who we're gonna have play against the thunder Here Spurs
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: are plus three forty to win the West Nuggets plus
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: five hundred. It really drops off after that to the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Rockets at plus three thousand, because of course they would
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: have to run into the Thunder. So I think we're
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: either gonna pick the Spurs or the Nuggets yet here,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: though the you know, the Tea Wolves, I guess are
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: a possibility at plus fifty five hundred. They're a good team,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: They're good defensively. But I think it's gonna be either
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Spurs or Nuggets here. It looks like the Spurs are
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: being a bit overpicked the Wemby factor here, They're being
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: picked sixty six percent of the time out of the
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: people that have them facing the Nuggets. It seems to
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: me like the Nuggets are being a little bit undervalued here,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: like their odds are not that much worse than the Spurs.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I think we're gonna take the Nuggets here, man. I
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: think the experience might get them there, even though I
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: really worry that the Nuggets defense isn't good enough. But
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I think we'll take the Nuggets to get to the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: conference final here against the Thunder. Yeah, experience does loom large.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: They've been there, they've done it before. I know when
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: they won the championship. They had Malone who is now
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: coaching UNC. But still the Nuggets, you know, they make
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: these runs in the in the playoffs like pretty much
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: every year. So we'll put them there. And then we
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: got to figure out who's going to be coming out
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: of the other side of the Eastern Conference here between
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: basically the Pistons and the Calves here, and I already
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I think we already know that it's gonna be the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Calves here. Yeah, seventy three percent of people have the
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Pistons over the Calves in that hypothetical matchup if they
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: picked both. But the Calves have better odds to win
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: the conference than the Pistons do, which is basically the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: oddsmakers are telling you the Calves are going to be
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: like a favorite to beat the Pistons probably in that series,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: even though the Calves are going to be on the road.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: And again there is a lot of experience there. I mean,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the Calves, I know they're still I guess the process
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: of gelling since they got like James Harden or not
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: not James, Wait, wasn't Harden yet it was Harden, right, Yeah,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: James Harden. Dude, I get hard and confused with Durant
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: all the time.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know why.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: I think because they were both on the thunder at
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: various points, which yeah whatever anyway, Yeah, but yeah, we're
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: gonna take the Calves to get there. I mean the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Calves they do have that experience. I mean they've been
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs every year recently. You know, Donovan Mitchell
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: is still there. Last year, remember, the Calves were just
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: they just falter because they were a massively injured team
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: and they want to lose into the Pacers.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: But we'll go with it.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: No, they don't look the same harden as a massive beard.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: That's how you can tell, although I guess Durant's beard
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: isn't that much less. Yeah, you're rooting for the Nuggets,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: that's your team. I'm rooting for the Celtics. But I
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: mean the Celtics have a shot. I don't think it's
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: gonna happen though the FBI placing a bug. I just
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I don't want to see the Knicks do it, man,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I really don't. And that matchup very well might happen
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a war, but hopefully the Celtics
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: would get them back after last year, you know, I
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: mean we'll talk about it when it happens. Well, maybe
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I'll just talk about it now because I probably will
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: have a Celtics Knicks matchup here in my bracket that
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: you know. I was at Game one. Celtics blew twenty
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: point leads in game one. In Game two and then
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Jason Tatum got hurt. I mean, come on, man, the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Celtics dominated the verse two games against the Knicks there,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: and the Celtics had won like nine or ten games
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: in a row against the Knicks until then, and then
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: this year the Celtics didn't beat them that many times.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: I think they either know they went one to three.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Against the Knicks this year, I think, but I still
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: think the Celtics should beat the Knicks having home court.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: You know, the Knicks they still are not very good
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: at defending the three, and we know the Celtics take
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of threes.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: So do the Hawks, by the way.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: But anyway, if we want to talk about these opening matchups,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: real I mean thunder suns. I mean, I don't know
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: if there's much to say. It's a huge mismatch. Thunder
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be double digit favorites in the home games
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: in this one. We just saw the Suns play. They
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: didn't look good. I know they have Devin Booker Brooks, whatever,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: it's nowhere near enough, you know. I don't think we
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: have much to say there in that matchup. As far
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: as Celtics Sixers, Sixers are gonna be without Joel Embiid.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, I guess there's rumors he might come back
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: in the middle of this series.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if he will.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: But the Celtics have won every playoff series against the
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Sixers recently, so the Celtics are pretty much dominated. The
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Celtics are double digit favored in that first game. I
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna lose that series, obviously, But the
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Sixers did get everybody else back, Paul George back from suspension.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Edgecomb looks good, although he's inexperienced. Maxie is kind of
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: having to rise to that next level there. Probably it's
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: not gonna be enough though, you know. And then Nuggets
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: TEA Wolves is actually a very interesting first round over here,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: which we already picked that matchup.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: But that could be closer than people think. Man.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Tawls are good, they're the better defense
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: over the Nuggets. The Nuggets their weaknesses the defense. It's
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: just I don't know the Tewls. I pointed it out
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: like early in the season, I noticed the Tewlves were
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: not playing well against good teams, like most of their
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: wins were against bad teams. And then they finally started
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: beating some of the better teams. But I don't know
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: if it's gonna be enough.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I know they have Anthony Edwards. I know they've made
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: runs in the playoffs all these recent years. There's just
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: something off about this Tewls team this year.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I trust go Bear anymore at
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: this point. I just don't know. Man, Nuggets, I just
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: think it seems like they have a little bit too
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: much so anyway, and Calves Raptors.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I know the.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Raptors actually swept the season series against the Calves. I'm
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: pretty sure. I think the Raptors beat them all three times.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: But I think that was before the trades happened. I
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: think it was the Calves without hard. It is hard
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: and right without heart and there, Yeah, because I think
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: they traded with the Clippers. They traded Garland over the
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Clippers to get hard. But yeah, the Calves, they should
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: be they should have these guys back now, Mitchell Allen.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: And what I was saying is the Calves lost in
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: the playoffs last year because they had a bunch of
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: injury issues and they succumbed to you know, the Calves
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: just blew their wad in the regular season last.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Year, you know what I mean.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: So I think they learned something from that. So I
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: think they will make a deeper run this year in
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. They got the experience there, you know, they
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: know what went wrong last year. They're more healthy this
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: year or too, Like I think Jared Allen is back
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: and whatever. So anyway, yeah, all right, let's pick the
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: rest of these matchups here, Lakers Rockets.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: We know right now the Lakers are without Luca and
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: they're without Reeves.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: It looks like Reeves might not even come back at all,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: like for the duration of the playoffs. It looks like
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Luca is coming back. It's at some point. And I guess,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Luca went to Europe to get some treatment for his injury.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know, And.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Now I guess he's back in the States, and I
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: guess there's some custody issue going on with Luca and
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: some like one of his kids. I don't know what
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: the deal is, man, I really don't. It seems like
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: a distraction. I think Luca may come back during the series.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: But if we look at the series odds here, which
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: maybe I should have looked at them for the all
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: the NHL, I think we looked at most of them. Calves,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: by the way, minus five point fifty in their matchup,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Nuggets minus three fifty against the Tea Wolves, which isn't
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: as crazy. Knicks are only minus two to seventy five
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: against the Hawks, which we'll talk about that in a second.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Celtics and minus nine hundred against the Sixers. Okase minus
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: three thousand to beat Phoenix Spurs minus two thousand to
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: beat the very very poor the poor to lend Trailblazers. Anyway, now,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: the Rockets are minus five to seventy five to beat
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: the Lakers. They actually opened minus seven hundred. So money
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: has coming on the Lakers, and I think a lot
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: of it's because the Luca news. It looks like Luca
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: might be coming back sooner than people thought. But the
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Rockets are still a big favorite, even though they're the
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: road team, and you know, maybe they shouldn't be that
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: big of a favorite, But I'm not gonna pick against
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: a favorite that's that big. I'll take the Rockets to
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: win that game. And maybe Durant right it is Durant
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: on Houston. Yes, maybe the Durant versus his old team,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the Thunder. Maybe that'll be you know, a that'll be
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: a headline that you know, the that the who do
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: the talking heads they want to talk about it, you
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? That might be one of the
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: one of the storylines they want. Oh, Durant in one
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: of his final seasons, he gets to play the first
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: team that he played for. That would be the storyline,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: where with the Lakers, maybe there isn't as much of
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: a storyline.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Although on the cart you know, on the other hand,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: maybe the.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: The powers maybe do want you know, Lebron to have
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: a bigger run here. Maybe they want Luca to have
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: a bigger run here. I don't know, but I don't
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: think Lebron could carry the Lakers by himself. I don't
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: think the Lakers defense is good. The Rockets are the
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: better defensive team. The Rockets did start playing better at
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the end of the year, even though they had a stretcher.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: They really didn't look that good. I don't think the
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Rockets should be this heavy of a favorite, so I
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: think maybe in some individual games there might be some
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: value playing the Lakers in certain spots. But we're gonna
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: take the Rockets to win that series, and then obviously
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: the Spurs to beat the Trailblazers. Both these teams are
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: very inexperience. I mean, Wemby hasn't been here before, but
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: also Avda, however you want to pronounce his name, the
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Israeli guy on the blaz The is Rail Blazers no experience. There.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Spurs clearly the better team, though the Blazers just like
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: jack up a bunch of threes, I don't. The Blazers
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: are also a horrible turnover team. They turn the ball
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: over a ton. They're not gonna.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Beat the Spurs, So we will have the Spurs.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Winning that matchup, and then the inexperience will get to
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: the Spurs a little bit later. Pistons and Magic, I
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: mean the Magic do have experience. I mean, when the
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Magic are actually playing well as we saw tonight, they're
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit dangerous, you know. I think Charlotte may
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: have been more dangerous, but maybe not, because you do
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: have experience on the side of the Magic. The Pistons
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: are only minus five hundred to win this series, so
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: the Pistons are actually not an insurmountable favorite here. I'm
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: gonna pick the Pistons to win that series. But you know,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know if the Magic are totally trustworthy. There
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: is still that whole thing where maybe the players are
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: quitting on their coach. But the Magic could make the
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: series interesting because they're more experience than the Pistons are.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: The Pistons were here last year. They lost to the Knicks,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I think in the opening round last year. So the
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Pistons have been here once like Cunningham and those guys
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: have been here once. So there is that the Magic
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: or in the playoffs every single year. Men, And if
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: they're actually trying and they have that core of you know,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Bunchchero and Wagner, Bunkero, Wagner and sugs, you know magic,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: they're not gonna go away quietly. I actually don't think.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: I think the series might be closer than people expected
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: to be. And then Knicks Hawks. As I showed you,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: the Knicks are actually not a big favorite. They're actually
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: the smallest favorite out of all these series minus two
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: seventy five, so they're probably not happy they drew the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Hawks here. I don't really think the Knicks are gonna
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: lose though. I mean, the Knicks were in the conference
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: final last year. The Knicks do have the experience edge.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: I know this is a pretty chalky bracket here, but
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: it is what it is, man, It's the NBA. The Knicks,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: like I said, they do a lot a lot of
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: three pointers though, and the Hawks take a lot of threes.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: The Hawks could win some games just by drilling a
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: bunch of threes. But the Hawks, you know, as I
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: pointed out, like that hot run that they had down
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: the stretch there beating a lot of bad teams too.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and the experience is more on the Knicks
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: side as well. I mean, the Hawks haven't been in
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: the playoffs for a while now, They've been knocked out
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: of the play in a bunch of times recently. I
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: think they can make the series interesting, but I don't
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: think it's gonna happen. And the people that do the
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: storyline probably we were picking the Thunder to win the
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: whole thing. Yes, the people that do the storylines and whatever,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: they all want a Celtics Knicks rematch probably, you know, Boston,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: New York.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: We hate each other all that.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: The Celtics have a chance at revenge for last year
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: with Tatum back, you know, all that type of thing.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: So I don't think I have a whole lot else on.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: This, you know, I with the Knicks, I don't know
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: if the Knicks have enough toughness.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Man. I think Kyle Anthony Towns, I don't know, man.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: That guy doesn't seem like he's physically mentally tough, you know,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: for these runs here. I know the Knicks made the
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Conference finals last year, but they lost to Indiana, and
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: the Knicks were pretty much a complete team at that point.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Brunston is good, but you know, and I think Anonobe
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: is actually really good too.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: But I don't know, man.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: I think Celtics, you know, after what happened last year,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Celtics are really gonna want this series. The Celtics I
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: think would have won the series. We were a huge
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: favorite in that series last year. The Celtics would have won.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: That series last.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Year if they didn't blow two massive leads, including Game
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: one that I was ass and I was there at
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: that game. I was ass, No, I was at it
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: was ass but I was at that game. You know,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: if that didn't happen and then the Tatum injuries, Celtics
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: would have won that series.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: So that's what we're going with. We have a few
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: places where we're.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Differentiating ourselves with Calves getting to the conference finals here
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: and the Nuggets getting past the Spurs. So nothing crazy,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: but this is what it is. How many points will
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: the finals MVP score in the entire place?
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I who knows, dude, what I mean?
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: If it's gonna be probably some you know, SGA, let's say,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: is probably gonna be it. I don't know, man, what
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: does he even average? Twenty something points a game? Probably,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know. They probably sweep the Suns, you know,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: maybe a gentleman's sweep. Probably get through the Rockets fairly easily,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: to be honest as well. So we're looking at probably
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: maybe ten games there at most. The Nuggets could be
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: a tough series. Let's say, what like maybe twenty four
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: games or so during the playoffs here, and what does
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: SGA average? I'm just guessing he's gonna be the finals.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: And if he ever just thirty one point one, I
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: was expecting it to be like twenty seven, thirty one
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: point one.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: All right, so we're at about seven hundred and forty six.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it seems a little crazy, but whatever,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: we gotta put the tiebreaker in. All right, that's gonna
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: do it. Thanks everybody. Celticks, Thunder, what might not be?
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's just how my bracket wound up being picked.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the fake Moon mission, that's right, that's a
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: signal that the Rockets are gonna win the whole thing.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. All right, that's gonna do it.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Oh or Celtics or Thunder. I'd be a dude. I
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: love it if the Celtics won the whole thing.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna happen, though, Thunder are
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: really really good.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: That's gonna do it. Celtics. You know, it's gonna be
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: tough to get through.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: The East too, Knicks, Calves, you know, even the Pistons.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Those teams are not easy to get through and over.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: In the West, you know, the Spurs, the Nuggets, the
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Tea Wolves. Even if the Lakers are actually healthy, Houston
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: may be slightly dangerous. I mean it's yeah, it's not
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: totally defined, totally definitive, but that's gonna do it.
