• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I feel like I was just here, Thanks for everybody
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: who showed up for the college basketball show.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Was getting too warm and here with my heat on,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: so T shirt.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: We're t shirting it now, man, not T shirt dicking
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: it though, just T shirting it. I'll reiterate the College
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: of Basketball plays at the end, but thanks for hanging
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: out for the delayed college basketball show. We're gonna talk
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: NBA here. I got one NBA player to add to
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the card here. That's gonna be what we're gonna do here.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to do it fast, that's correct. Yeah.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I would.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I would try to make my own rap on the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: fly there, but I don't know if I could do
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: it with.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah eminem without me is what that song is? Yeah?
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: All right? NBA first game up three pm.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Not televised anywhere, because why would anybody want to watch
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: this just spau with college basketball going on. This is
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: a dumpster fire Washington at Brooklyn.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I looked at this in the first.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Thing I thought was, well, Washington's gonna be in a
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: bad spot here because they just upset Detroit. That was
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: a monster upset and we had that, we had that
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: on the show. It was a bad spot for Detroit.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Washington showed up. They got the job. Non. No, I know,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Washington's all in flux here because they made these trades whatever.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Don't really know how that's gonna go for them going forward.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: But they also play Brooklyn here. Doesn't seem like a
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: spot where they're really gonna pay attention. Could be let
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: down city here, and they do have Miami Cleveland on deck.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Those are bigger games Miami tomorrow, so this is a
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: sandwich spot. So I'm like, all right, I probably want
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn here. Looking at Brooklyn, Okay, Yeah, they just lost
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: pretty badly at Orlando.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, cool. So they're returning home from a one game
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: road trip. That's not that bad.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Only one game road trip return that's fine, you know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: not having to deal with a bunch of stuff that
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: piles back up at home. And it's only one road
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: game they got killed. So I'm thinking, all right, they
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: should show up for a game against Washington, right, So
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking, all right, we're gonna go with the Nets here,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: And then I'm looking like, what the fuck is going on?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: How are the Nets a six point favorite?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: They're out from four and a half to six, Like,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: is this just how bad the Wizards are? Like, I,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I don't get it, man, uh sixty the tickets and
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: fifty four percent of the cash on the nets, so
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the nets are actual public with less than the money
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: on them. But I'm not gonna come in and lay
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: this many points to the Nets, even though I think
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the Wizards are in a terrible spot.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I just don't know what's going on here, and the market.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Seems like it's disagreeing with Brooklyn, so I'm gonna pass.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: It looks like maybe Saar is out, and maybe that's
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: why the the center for the Wizards, whose name is
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: uh he, I call him the Indians, sir. I don't
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: know if he's out or not. He's questionable, I guess
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: for today. So I don't know if that's part of
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the reason why the line is like this, because I
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: don't really know the Wizard's personnel very well at all, Man,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: So I don't really know exactly what's going on here.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: This is the injury report.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: There no Nets players listed at all, just a bunch
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: of Wizards players. I don't even know exactly what they
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: did in the trade. Besides, they got Anthony Davis, but
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: who cares because he's not playing anyways, that has no effect.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: But I would be looking to Brooklyn as far as
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming Brooklyn's gonna win this game.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: But I can't lay this many points here.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on with that number, so
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna stay away from it. But the spot definitely
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: says that I would want to fade Washington there. But
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: you got to take the number into account, man, And
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: hopefully we're still doing that with the college players. And
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I know, the numbers a little high,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: but I love the spot, so I'm doing it anyway.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: ABC is a doubleheader here. One of the games is
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: kind of better than the other, probably because the other
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: game has both teams missing their star player.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: This game. That's not the case, Houston, Actually, no, it is.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: What am I saying?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: This game, one of the teams is missing their star
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: player in this game too. Houston at Oklahoma City. SGA
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: is not playing for Oklahoma City.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: ABC is probably not happy about this. Houston at Oklahoma City.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Houston's coming to this game off of a couple of
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: pretty ugly losses to a shorthanded Celtics team and then
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: to this upstart Charlotte team that wasn't a back to
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: back though. Now they're going to Okay. See, maybe they
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: were looking ahead to this game. I think you will
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: get an effort out of Houston here in this one,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: so I'm not really concerned about Houston putting in an
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: effort in this one. You might get extra value on
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the line because they haven't looked good. Oklahoma City's coming
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: up a pretty big game at San Antonio a few
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: nights ago, and they lost the game, San Antonio re
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: establishing their I guess dominance of Oklahoma City. I don't
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: know what else to say.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Now. I believe SGA.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Didn't play in that game, so that was part of
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the reason why I think he got hurt in the
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Orlando game. He didn't play in the San Antonio game,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: so that might be part of the reason. Like maybe
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: debatably it should have been an insured player theory spot
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: for SGA there for I mean for the thunder there,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: but they still lost the game.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: It was a big game.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Now, I don't know how close was this game would
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: be the other question. I was watching a little bit
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: of the end of it, but I thought San Antonio
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: had a pretty decent lead. Actually maybe they did, not
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: let me say. I mean, it was pretty close towards
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: the end of it was within seven. I mean that's
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: not that close. It was within six with four h
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: three left, and then within seven in the final a
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: couple of minutes. So I don't know, uh, but yeah,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma City's coming up.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: That big game.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: They're shorthanded in this game. I don't know what we're
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: gonna expect in this game. Man, Oklahoma City's got SGA out.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Like I said, Jaylen Williams is still out.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: He's been out. It's mostly SGA.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: But SGA being out has knocked this line down from
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know where do you think this line was
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: gonna be if SGA was playing, like it looks.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Like it was gonna be five, But I think that
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: was still with him not playing.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I think, like I was thinking it was gonna be
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: like seven if he was gonna play, but I don't know.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: The Thunder down from five to three and a half here,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and it does look like Houston is a public underdog though,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: believe it or not, sixty percent of tickets and fifty
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: four percent of the cash on the Rockets, so I
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe it's about this number being crazy, crazy
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: low for a Thunder home game. I mean, the Rockets
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: are definitely good. The Thunder haven't been as good recently,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: so I don't know. This game confuses me. I don't
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: want to do anything with it. I hate the game.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Normally I would want to fade the public underdogs. I
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: guess I would say you lean to the Thunder here,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: but the situation seems like it's better for the Rockets
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: a little bit. So this might be about the number
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: just being maybe too low and over adjusted to the
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Thunder injuries. I don't know, but I'm staying away from that.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Dallas at San Antonio Part two wasn't a fan of
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: part one because Dallas probably should have had the cover
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: in that one. They were within three points late in
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: the game. Somehow they wind up losing by twelve.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Now they're gonna go to San Antonio and play them again.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: But maybe this is do you think it's a zigzag
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: spot or not? Though, because san Antonio might actually show
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: up for this one, because maybe san Antonio realizes, hey,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: we almost got caught in that previous game, so we
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: got to take Dallas more seriously here. So I could
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: see that happening for san Antonio as well. So that's
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the question, will san Antonio show up in this game
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: or not? Because I think Dallas will because it's a
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: bigger game for them. I think san Antonio has the
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Lakers on the horizon and then Golden State both on
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: TV potential look ahead there. So what do we want
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: to do with this besides obviously not give out a
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: play on it. The money's coming into Dallas, for what
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: it's worth, the Spurs are down from eleven to ten here,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: pretty big favorite. Fifty three percent of the tickets on
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: them now sixty two percent of the cash on Dallas.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I guess I'll agree and go with the quick zigzag
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: spot and maybe the Spurs potentially looking ahead to those
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: bigger games after they already just beat Dallas in Dallas,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: We'll go with the quick road revenge zigzag angle. But
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: I don't love it enough, so I'll slightly agree with Dallas.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Plus the points there Utah at Orlando. Utah is coming
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: off almost cover.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: They did cover.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: They almost upset. Excuse me, Atlanta is pretty big underdogs.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I think they were eight and a half nine point
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: underdogs here, almost covered or gets Atlanta.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I'm when a.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Big underdog plays well like that, a lot of times
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: they will come up flat in the next game. I
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: don't love that for Utah. Orlando's coming up an easy
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: one over Brooklyn. They don't really have anything upcoming, so
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: some of it makes it looks like the spot is
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: better for Orlando. We gotta look at the injuries though,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: because it's basically been Wagner has been the main guy
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: for Orlando has been injured. He is still out so
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: he's not playing, so it won't be a reverse injured
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: player there for Orlando, but we might want to fade them.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: But the money looks like it is coming in on
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: the Jazz anyway here, and I don't really agree with
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: it based on the situation. The magic down from nine
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: and a half to seven fifty two ticket seventy four
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: percent of the cash on the Jazz, so a lot
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: of movement, some movement on the line, and then it
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: looks like the cash percentage is on the Jazz.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I don't really agree with it.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I would not really want to be in the Jazz
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: after they almost pulled up that other upside, although I
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: guess you could argue, well, they'll show up for a
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: game against the Magic too, because it's just a better
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: team than they are in The Jazz have lost so
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: many games in a row, they just got to keep
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: showing up. I guess I could see that argument, but
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know the Magic. I mean, coming off an
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: easy win and not having a huge game up next,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I don't really see them overlooking this game. Really, next
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: game up is my play. We're finally gonna fade this
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: hyped hot Charlotte team in and we're gonna go with
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: the Atlanta Hawks plus two at home, we're plus one
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: and a half, So I know the ozekers are telling
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: you the Hornets are the better team here, but all
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: the money looks like it's coming in on Atlanta, and
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: I agree with it.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Hornets one and a half.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Now it looks like I would still take one and
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: a half fifty three percent of tickets on the Hornets
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: sixty percent of the cash on the Hawks.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Though money seems like it agrees with me on the Hawks.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: And we look at the spot for Charlotte, I just
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: think we're about to pretty much re reach like peak
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: of the market on Charlotte, man, I mean, look at
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: what they just did.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: They just upset Houston on the road.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: They caught Uston in a decent spot, kind of off
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: with Houston on a back to back, although Houston was
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: off that ugly performance against the Celtics, but still wasn't
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: a horrible spot to catch Houston. And now Charlotte's gotta
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: travel to Atlanta and up next they gotta play Detroit,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: which is a much bigger game they might be looking
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: ahead to, man, So I don't know if they're gonna
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: have full focus on this Atlanta team that just kind
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: of unloaded some guys. They're below five hundred. They're not
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: a good team. Atlanta has won two games in a row, though,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: and they just beat Utah. But that's the other part
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: of this handicap. Atlanta's coming up almost losing to Utah
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: is a big favorite, and you know me, I like
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: to look at teams that almost lost is a big
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: favorite to bounce back and that is Atlanta. So this
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: sets up nicely I think for both sides of this play.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: The one worry I guess maybe is that Atlanta will
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: be looking ahead to Minnesota. But I don't think they're
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: gonna be looking overlooking this Charlotte team has just been
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: on fire recently, man, I don't think they will, so
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: I like the Hawks here. I don't know what we're
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: gonna get out of the Hawks as far as well.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Also, we gotta look into Charlotte Becau Charlott to just pick.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Up Kobe White from the Bulls, but he's not gonna
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: play for a while, so there's no real issue there
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: with him coming into the fold here. The Hawks did,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: of course pick up some new guys themselves, but it
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: looks like Cominga's still not playing here. We don't know
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: if Healed is gonna play, but I just don't think
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: he's a big enough piece that it's really gonna matter
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: that much. So I'm not really worried about the the
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: trade aspects of this. It's a situational spot. It looks
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: like the money's agreeing with me. Hawks are the play
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: in that one, and I think Charlotte's a hot streak
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: comes to an end in that one, the streak discontinues,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: hopefully Denver at Chicago. Denver don't love the spot that
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: they're in here. Denver is coming.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Off a fuck you Firefox.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know what Firefox is even doing, like bringing
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: up all this shit just because I miss click. Denver's
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: coming off a double overtime game. They had a couple
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: of days off since then, but that was a huge game.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Two huge games in a row man really three. Last
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: on Sunday they played Oklahoma City, although it wasn't that close.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: They played close at Detroit, and then they took the
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Knicks at a double overtime the next night, So yeah,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: they did need some days off. But still they're coming
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: off a huge game, and now they're playing the Chicago
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: team that's I don't know, kind of unloading some pieces,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: and they got a bigger game up next with Cleveland
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: when they come back home. So I don't love the spot,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: even though you could maybe make the argument, well, Denver
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: wants to show up for this game because they want
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: to try to get a win to finish the road trip.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But for Chicago, they're not in a
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: good spot either.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: They're returning home from a road trip that they've been
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: on since last Saturday. And you know, I always talk
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: about it when a team is gone on the road
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: for a week they come back home, they can get distracted.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: They have to get back to home life. Now.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I don't really think they're gonna overlook the Nuggets, because
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets are a good team, but that return home
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: spot is quite bad, man, just it always is.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: So what do we want to do with this game?
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: The Nuggets are up from five to five and a half,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: eighty six percent of the tickets on them, ninety percent
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: of the cash on the Nuggets.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: There're gonna be a public side though.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I'm probably going towards taking the points with the Bulls
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: in this one, even though there's no way that I
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: could do it with the return home spot though, but
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I don't like the spot the Nuggets are in either though,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: So I don't know, and I don't know that you'd
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: be laying that many points on the road. But of
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: course we know the Bulls have unloaded some guys, but
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: maybe it's a bit of an overreaction to the Bulls
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: trading some guys.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Giddy is out again.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: We got to pay attention to Jokic because he's game
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: time decision, I guess questionable, So pay attention to that.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I guess, NBA, we never know who's gonna play, man.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: That's the one thing. The heat blew a twenty point leader.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: I didn't see it at all, but obviously I was
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: on the right side of that. Yeah, I think I
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: mentioned that at the top of the other show.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: No, that's not gonna happen because I watched those in
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: a private browser. I'm not one click away from any
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: of that shit, all right, ABC. The other game, great
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: game here between Golden State and LA And I've forgotten
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: to mention the last couple of games. Steph Curry is
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: out for Golden State. He's been out for like a
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: couple of games, and I keep forgetting to mention that.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I haven't gotten involved in any of the games.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: But now Luca is out for the Lakers. So this
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: is a great game to watch on TV in primetime.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Good luck watching this game with no Curry and no Luca.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be awesome. But the Celtics are a good team, man,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. I mean the Celtics definitely have
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: the ability to just beat anybody.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, I.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Didn't expect the Celtics to get blown out in that game.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I expected Miami to cover the game and maybe win
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: the game outright. I didn't think they would be up
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: by twenty points. But the Celtics are good when you
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: punch them in the mouth. I mean, they're better team
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: than the Heat, So you punch them in the mouth.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Sometimes they're gonna come back in the game. The Celtics
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: have done that a lot. The Celtics have huge variants,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: like they get a huge lead and they take their
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: foot up the gas and they let teams come back.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: But on the other hand, they also will go down
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: big and they'll make these huge comebacks, and their backups
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: are able to do it too, because they're a deep team.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Golden State just upset Phoenix on the road. I think
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: they are about five and a half point underdogs there.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: You could make the argument they're in a letdown spot,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: but I don't think they're gonna overlook the Lakers, except
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: for maybe the fact that that Luca is not playing
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: and this is the injured player theory spot.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Luca.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure, he played against Philadelphia and he got
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: hurt in that game.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: So this is the injured player spot for Luca here
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: for the Lakers.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: And you know, I always talk about that when your
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: star player goes down, you'll get a lot of benefit
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: in the line. The line over reacts and a lot
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: of times your team will play a lot better. So
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: that's what we might get with the Lakers. Plus the
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: fact that Golden State's off of that road upset whereas
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: the Lakers are off a ridiculous comeback. The Lakers shouldn't
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: have won that game against Philadelphia, And I told you
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: it was a bad spot for the Lakers, this crazy
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: lone road trip return.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: They had an extended road trip because they needed to.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Be away from LA for the Grammys, because the Grammys
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: needed to take over the city. It's so fucking stupid.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: And then I'm pissed because I hate the Lakers and
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: they should have lost to the seventy six Ers. The
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Sixers had a like double digit lead in that game,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure, and then lost the game double digit
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: lead in the second half too, So I don't know,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: but that's what the Lakers are coming off of. They
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: won as a favorite and I think they didn't cover. Still,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: I think they were four and a half point favorites.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Golden State is coming off that road upset, plus getting
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: the value on the line with the Lakers with the
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Luca injury, I think I would lean to the Lakers
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: in this one. Man, They're only a two and a
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: half point favorite with Luca out. It might be an
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: overreaction up from two to two and a half. Then
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: we know the Lakers sucked defensively, but the line also
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: has to be adjusted for Curry.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Being out on the Warriors side, so I don't know.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Seventy tickets only sixty seven percent of the cash on
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: the Lakers, so the public appears to be on the
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Lakers with less of the money on them. And while yes,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: I think the Lakers are an overrated team, whatever I
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: think in that spot, I probably lean to the Lakers,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: but the market is saying completely the opposite. Philadelphia at Phoenix, yeah,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, I didn't see it.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I saw some people that were coming out of that
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: game that.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Had been partying in the city after I got out
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: of the show that I was at, But I don't know.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the Celtics are good.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Philadelphia just lost that game to LA that was a
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: brutal loss because they had LA on the ropes basically
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: the Lakers, and then felt just short.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Now they're gonna go to Phoenix.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Not exactly the greatest spot here for Philadelphia. For Phoenix,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: they are coming off that loss to Golden State, Like
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I said, at home, losing as a favorite. So I
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: gotta lean to Phoenix in this one. Man, A team
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: staying at home after they lost is a home favorite
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: versus a team that had kind of a brutal loss
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: in their previous game where they had a good team
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: on the road hopes. This game is definitely Phoenix if
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: you're gonna play the game. The money looks like it
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: does agree with me on this one. Minus one and
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: a half on the Suns here fifty seven percent of
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: the cash on the Suns, fifty to fifty on the tickets.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: I do agree with that market. If I was gonna
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: add another play, it would probably be that one, because
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: there were just so many unknowns in all these other games.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: But I do like that when I like the Suns.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Memphis at Portland.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: This is a zigzag.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Potentially Memphis just got blown out at Portland and now
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: they're playing the same game again. I think the line
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: is about the same in this one.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I think it was about eight and a half on Portland.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: That's just how bad Memphis is now.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Though this is a back to back, but it's a
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: back to back for both teams, so that's not as
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: big of a deal. But yes, Memphis lost by twenty points.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: If you look at the stats, it was like, I
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: don't know, it didn't seem like it was that misleading.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Like I think there was a pretty big rebounding edge
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I think on the side of Portland in this one,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: so I don't think it was that misleading.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well by nine. The rest of the stats weren't
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: that misleading.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: But still it could be a situation where Portland just
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: doesn't take them as seriously the next time, and maybe
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: they overlooked them this time. So I would still probably
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: agree with the zig zag here and agree with Memphis
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: making adjustments here. Memphis is they're rebuilding though, man, so
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: they're like they emptied out their roster, so I don't
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: know what we're gonna even get out of this Memphis
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: team from here on out, so it's really difficult to
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: trust them at all.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Portland does kind of have a bigger.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Game on deck, I guess against Philly and then Minnesota,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: so definitely the possibility they overlook the Grizzlies here.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I would lean to the Grizzlies.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: The market is agreeing with that, but I don't want
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: to give that out as a play. Blazers down from
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: nine and a half to eight and a half, fifty
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: two percent tickets on them, ninety seven percent of the
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: cash on the Grizzlies though, so it looks like the
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: market read is saying the Grizzlies. Hopefully it doesn't change
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: on this Horn of talks. Man, I'm starting to get worried.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: But no, I like the I do like the Hawks
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: in that one. But yeah, I would agree with the
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Grizzlies in that one. But it's tough to know what
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: you're gonna get to them. But the market seems to agree.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: And then Cleveland had Sacramento to finish this off. This
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: is a pretty ugly game. I believe James Harden did
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: not play yet for Cleveland, even though he was there
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: because they were playing the Clippers, but I don't think
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: he played. And Garland has been out for the Clippers
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: now think he got traded to the Clippers, so neither
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: of them played in that game. But I was surprised
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: because I thought Cleveland would be overvalued because of the
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: hard and trade with people thinking he was gonna play
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: on whatever.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: They blew out the Clippers.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Probably they're feeling a little bit high off of that,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: and they might overlook Sacramento where they well, they did
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: just beat them at home, but they only beat them
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: by five, So maybe they won't overlook the Kings because
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: the Kings did just play.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Them that close.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: But Cleveland does have Denver up next man, so it
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: does still look pretty sandwichy to me in a way.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Blow out win on one side of it, in a
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: big game against Denver on the other.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Sacramento they did just play.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Close then only against the Clippers, and that was yesterday,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: so they aren't a bad to back.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: But they're staying at home. I mean, maybe they show
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: up for it. I don't know. I think the spot
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: is worse for the Calves.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: I would probably lean taking the points with the Kings
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: in this one market seems like it does agree with
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: that one. Seventy four percent of tickets on the Calves.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: They're sitting at minus twelve, down from twelve and a
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: half fifty eight percent of the cash on the Kings
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: money does agree with the Kings, I agree with it,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean that's that's that's what I have
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: man for the NBA there. So those are my opinions
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: on the NBA. Added one play in the NBA there,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Atlanta Hawks plus two or one and a half will
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: be my one NBA play once again. College basketball upcoming
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: not till the afternoon though, Utah plus the points. Northwestern
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: State not Northwest. I don't even think Northwestern's playing though
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: maybe I'm wrong, maybe they are. Most teams are Northwestern
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: State plus the points. Maybe Northwestern's playing one of those
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: big ten Sunday games. I don't know, but yes, Northwestern State.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Don't be confused by that. Seattle and they're plus the points,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: and then Seattle and Pacific minus the points in those.
• 24:03

  Speaker 2: have a good one. It'll be Super Bowl Sunday tomorrow.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: You already have my entire Super Bowl card. I'm not
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: adding anything else, but I did add that one extra
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: play yesterday.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Hopefully you guys can can get some of you some
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: wins here. She squealed. What's up? Man? A parlay? You know?
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: You know what I say about parlays.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Man, the books, they want you to do it because
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: they don't give you good enough odds on it, and
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: one thing can take the whole thing down. So I
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: personally despise parlays and I don't recommend them. But if
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: you I wanna do it and just know that you're gambling,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: then yes, then go ahead and do it. I don't
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: spend more than you can afford.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Hopefully you get it and hit the lottery. But this
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: is why I play everything as a straight bet, even
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: though you win less right away. You can't be a
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: high time preference here.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: You gotta be low time preference. It's a grind. Man,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: it's about winning more than you lose long term.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: That's gonna do it. I appreciate everybody's super Bowl tomorrow.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Peace for now,
