Transcript
- 0:06Welcome to Nate's daily wager. I ain't picking winners, but I
- 0:10am making wagers. Time to put my money where my
- 0:13mouth is. This is Nate's daily wager for
- 0:20May 17th, 2026. And well, we got the got the
- 0:27over. And once again, it was one of
- 0:29those wrong for the right or no right for the wrong reason.
- 0:33Yeah, right for the wrong reason or wrong for the good reason or
- 0:36anyways, the important thing is it worked out in our favor.
- 0:39We got the over. That's where we were.
- 0:41We had the plus money wager, got the plus money to hit.
- 0:44And on the positive side, we get a game seven out of that series.
- 0:48So Buffalo, the clock has not yet struck midnight.
- 0:51That's going to be a lot of fun. And Speaking of game sevens,
- 0:54that's what we got us tonight over in the NBA.
- 0:57We got Cleveland and Detroit taking on each other Game 7,
- 1:01figuring this is what this was going to come down to.
- 1:04And here's where I'm at. I'm going back and forth on this
- 1:07one, right? Well, I I get basically what I'm
- 1:09thinking is I don't know what the heck is going to happen
- 1:11here, right? Because you got James Harden,
- 1:14who tends to disappear in these game sevens.
- 1:17Now, by disappear, I don't mean he actually doesn't like do
- 1:19anything. I mean he just doesn't make
- 1:21baskets. He like, he's still like
- 1:22shooting. He just doesn't like making
- 1:25them. And maybe it's that he it's not
- 1:27that he doesn't like doing it. He just doesn't.
- 1:29So is this going to be his redemption song right here?
- 1:33And on the other side, I mean, you know, Detroit, basically,
- 1:37it's kind of the other side, right?
- 1:38It's it's Kate Cunningham got to do everything because nobody
- 1:41else seems to be doing stuff. When he's got the ball in his
- 1:44hands, good things happen. And when he dishes it off,
- 1:48somebody else messes things up for him.
- 1:50So you know what's going to end up happening here?
- 1:53Is the other rest of the team going to step up or there is,
- 1:56you know, Harden going to step up, which is kind of why they
- 1:59brought him in and who knows? So basically it's what I figure
- 2:03it's going to come down, it's going to be close and I'm
- 2:06looking at the spread and it's 4 1/2.
- 2:09So would I rather rather have 4 1/2 or would I rather be given
- 2:13up 4 1/2? And really it just comes down to
- 2:16I'd rather have 4 1/2, especially since it's 4 1/2 and
- 2:19not 2 1/2, You know, it's within one and even under 5I mean, this
- 2:24just seems to me, since I have no idea it's a game seven, it's
- 2:28going to be close. Take the points.
- 2:30So that's what I'm going to do. So we're going to go Cleveland
- 2:34Cavaliers plus 4 1/2 against the Detroit Pistons in tonight's NBA
- 2:40Eastern Conference semi final. Game seven.
- 2:44Playoff basketball action. See anything better than that?
- 2:47Pound it. That's my pick and I'm sticking
- 2:49to it. Game seven games.
