  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Inside, I want to kill myself. We're on OWN seven
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: run over the last two days after tonight it.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Was just complete bullshit.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: So that's that's I'm gonna start off this show horrible
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Sunday one and five. I don't even know what to
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: tell you about that. I just don't want to do
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: this anymore.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I have never seen anything like this.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Man, with the slump continuing, two straight losses, not a
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: good day at all.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Own four, I have not had a good season.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Man, with bookends the slump that I'm on, and the
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: slump continues.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I've reached into peak.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Actually, I'm gonna burn my Bruins hack Man, I don't
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: know what is going on with the Bruins.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: March eight? Is that what it is? I don't even
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: know it's March ninth. I think who even knows? Man,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know what data is anymore. But I don't
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: even know what data is anymore. Man, back with you
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: after the worst thing that I.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Could possibly have, Back with you as I always am
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: until I die at least oh and two. Yesterday and
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: yesterday it did not go well for me. Own five
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the worst month that I've ever had in my eighteen years.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Doing this. I don't know what to even tell you
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: about this anymore.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Slump, the slump discontinuous, the slump continues.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Somebody fucking kill me, please.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I don't even know what I should do at this point,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: other than potentially end it all.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: What's up, everybody?
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: It's towed back with you, toadstool sports. It is Monday,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: March twenty third, first weekend of March. Madness is over,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: you know. I mean, I'm not happy, dude. Those four
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: or five games in the bracket fucked them all all.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I don't have any of those sweet sixteen teams. I
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: got ten out of the sixteen, but it's mostly all
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the obvious ones, and then Tennessee at least helped me
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: out a little bit. I mean that's not the worst,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: but when everything is really chalky, ten isn't really that great.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: But I have seven of the elite eight remaining, an
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: all final four. So losing Florida yesterday, but of course
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: we got the win on the show here with Iowa.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I gave you guys Iowa plus the points there and
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: they got the outright win.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: So one and zero on the show yesterday and a nice one.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: And that's why I tell you, man, sprinkle on the
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: money line ten and a half spread. I would say
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: probably put about three percent of the bet or so
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: on the money line.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: It happened, We got it.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I will move on to today. Today is a very
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: small board. It's mostly NBA. I'm gonna give out one
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: NBA play and it is ugly, but you know, that's
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: that's how we do it here. NBA hasn't been good
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: towards the end of the season, I know, but I
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: think the last NBA play gave out was a winner, right.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: It was a big.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Underdog the Bucks. We're gonna have another one, and let's
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: try to get it. Man, Let's let's get into it
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: a lot. I don't know, is there anything we should
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: talk about with the tournament.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously Iowa was the one like huge upset
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: that we had during that round, double digit up set.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: It was the biggest upset of the round for sure.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know if there's much else to say. I mean,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: there were some complaints about some of the officiating in
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: some of the games. I still think that one call
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: that people were complaining about in the Tennessee game, I
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: think was the correct call I had the game on.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe I'm biased because I wanted Tennesseee to
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: win for my bracket, but yeah, and then the two
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: seeds were all able to advance. I believe all the
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: two seeds are alive, which I thought one of them
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: had a chance to go down, which I thought might
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: be Yukon in the second round, but that did not happen.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Decent set up for Yukon really, to be honest, because
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: they didn't play well in the first game.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: So all right, let's get into this.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: We have one hockey game which is on NHL Network,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: and of course it's a Rangers home game.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: What else would it be.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Ottawa at the Rangers is the one game here. Ottawa
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: on a couple of game win streak.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Here. They just beat Toronto. I don't know if that's
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: really any sort of big deal.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: They're starting a two game road trip here, but they
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: do play Detroit tomorrow, so there is maybe the potential
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: look ahead here because Detroit is a better team. I
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: don't really have much of an opinion on this game
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: at all. Rangers are on a losing streak, of course,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: what else is new. They've lost four games in a row.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: They played yesterday, so they're on a back to back.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: They did have a couple of days off before yesterday.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Lost in a shootout to Winnipeg yesterday. I mean, yeah,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I really just have no feel for this game. As
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: far as the market, Ottawa looks like they're getting the money.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: They're sitting at minus one eighty six or so on
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: the money line, sixty five percent of the tickets, eighty
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: seven percent of the cash on Ottawa.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I really can't. I don't even really have.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: An opinion on the game whatsoever. So that's what we
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: have going on in that game. You know, just not
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: much to say on it. It's not a game that
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: interests me at all. NBA we have I think nine
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: or so games here today, starting with Lakers at Detroit,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: which is one of the better games of the night,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: maybe the best game of the night. It's an interesting
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: when Detroit is without Kate Cunningham.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: We know that, which is why.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: The Lakers are actually favored here. I think maybe that's
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: going a little too far. I think there's some recency
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: bias affecting that line there. The Lakers have won whatever
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: it is, nine games in a row. They just beat Orlando.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: They've been doing really well on the road trip here,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: a couple of games left. I mean, they're not gonna
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: overlook Detroit, though obviously they might still get up for
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: this game. But we're talking about the Lakers getting towards
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: the end of a long road trip.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: They're playing.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I think this is a fourth game in six days,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: fifth game in eight days, six game and ten days,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: all in different cities, which is not that easy to do.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Detroit playing okay as well right now. They've won three
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: games in a row, but two of them.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Are against Washington.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: They beat Golden State, stepping it up in their last
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: game in a return home spot. They've had two days
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: off staying at home. You know, I think the spot
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: is a little bit better for Detroit, even though they
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: do have to kind of step up in class for
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: this and they're not totally healthy at the moment.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: The money is agreeing with me on that.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: On Detroit. Here, Lakers are a two point road favorite,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: which again I think that's going a little bit too far.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I know cunning Ham is really good. I know he's
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: not playing here, but to make the Pistons an underdog
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: like that at home, I don't know. It just seems
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit crazy. And know, I mean, sixty three
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: percent of the tickets are on the Lakers public all
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: recency bias, they're coming in on the Lakers, fifty six
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: percent of the actual money on Detroit.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Though, so I agree with it. I would lean to Detroit.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: The next game up is the actual play I'm gonna
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: give out, and it is.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: It is bad. Nobody's gonna like this one, but that's
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: what we do on the show Man.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I'm sure nobody liked the Iowa call yesterday either on
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Zula until they won the.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Game and covered wire to wire.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: The game was exactly what I thought it was yesterday
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: by the way, Iowa low scoring. They were in the
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: game the whole time, looked like they were gonna lose
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: towards the end, but we got that three pointer. Anyway,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: big underdog here. We're gonna play Indiana. The Pacers plus
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: thirteen and a half against Orlando.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: This is mostly a fate of Orlando here. We're gonna
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: need Indiana.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: To give us some effort, which I know that could
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: be called into question a little bit. We're talking about
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: an Indiana team it's lost sixteen games in a row.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: They are coming off a game or they just lost
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: to San Antonio. But at some point, I think you're
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: gonna get effort out of this team at some point,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and maybe it's gonna be here. And again we're playing
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: what I think is a big time flat spot for
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Orlando here, so hopefully Indiana could actually step up for
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: a game get us a win here. Looking at the
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: injury report, Indiana's got a lot of guys on the
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: injury report. I'm hoping that the majority of them are
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: just gonna play here. Siakam especially because he's their best
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: player right now. Now, they got a bunch of guys
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: that are listed as game time decisions, and Wagner is
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: not supposed to be back yet for Orlando. For Orlando,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, the reason why we're doing this is.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Orlando. I mean, yeah, they're on.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: A four game losing streak, but they played the Lakers
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: really tough on Saturday. I told you I liked Orlando
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: to cover that number, and they did. They lost the game,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Like that was It's crazy that they covered and didn't
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: win because they were like three point dogs, so pretty
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: good chance if they covered, they're gonna win that game.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: But they didn't.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: But that was a tough game, man, coming up a
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: game against the Lakers, and they have a huge game
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: tomorrow on NBC and Peacock against Cleveland. So Orlando's in
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: like this playoff sandwich here basically. So I don't like it.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: The games surrounded by much bigger games. I think they
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: could overlook Indiana Ara, even though Orlando is losing some
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: games recently. Of course, Orlando can win this game without covering.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: We're getting thirteen and a half here, eighty six percent
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: of the tickets on the Magic, fifty seven percent of
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: the actual money on Indiana. So we're agreeing with the
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: market here at least for now. We're gonna take the
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: points of the Pacers. I understand how ugly it is,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: but it's all about the spot man, Zach, what's up, man, Royals?
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: When do they actually start? I don't even know when
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: opening day is, Josh, what's up, man? Yeah, that's right.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: You got to take risks, man. I'm just doing what's
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I'm doing what works, man, You know, I've been doing
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: this for a long time.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Basically, Yet whatever works, just keep.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Doing it and you're gonna win more than you lose.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I would say, if you keep doing it, because that
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: has happened to me. So Oklahoma City at Philadelphia the Thunder,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're gonna be a big favorite here. Philadelphia
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: still has nobody playing for them. Their entire lineup is
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: suspended or hurt. Still, I mean, no change from the
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: situation they've had for about a week now. At the
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: very least, Oklahoma City has won a ton of games
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: in a row. I think eleven games in a row.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: At this point.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Coming up beating Washington not a big deal, but they
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: do have Boston on deck that is a bigger game
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: the next you know, potential finals preview summer saying there,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: even though the Celtics lost at home to Minnesota yesterday
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: for the first time in over a decade, so I'm.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Not happy about that. I did say that.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I leaned to Minnesota to cover that game yesterday, but
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I didn't think the Celtics are gonna lose as a
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: big favorite to an injured Minnesota team. But anyway, Philadelphia,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: they have been playing pretty decently. They've won four of
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the last five games, but against weaker competition. Oklahoma City
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: is obviously not that and Philadelphia's are turning over from
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: a road trip, so I don't like that they've been.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: On the way. They've been on the road, excuse me,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: away for more than.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: For almost a week, excuse me. Which you know, it's
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: not the longest road trip, but it still took them
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: out to the Pacific coasts and into elevation. So I
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: don't like that when a team returns home from road trip,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: from eight road trip, I will pretty much either fade
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: them or leave the game alone because I think they
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: get a little bit distracted. They have to get back
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: to home life. Now, they shouldn't overlook Oklahoma City, but
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's no way I'm gonna come in and
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: play Philadelphia here. I'm also not willing to fade them
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: in this spot, either the Thunder or Lank fifteen points
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: on the road here, sixty four percent of ticket, seventy
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: five percent of the cash on the Thunder, so a
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: little bit more of the money on the Thunder, and
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: maybe because of the road trip return situation for the Sixers,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: but the game looks basically unplayable to me, to be honest,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: So I'm staying off of that.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Jeff, what's up? Celtic's gonna look ahead? Who oh yeah?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Because they play the Thunder. Yeah, I mean that was
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a worry.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I guess I.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Still didn't really think they were gonna overlook the Tea Wolves,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: but I guess you it is a possibility when their
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: best player is not playing, Anthony Edwards not playing in
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: that game.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, maybe that is what happened. All right.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: We have a peacock NBC Sports doubleheader here. The first
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: game is the better of the two, San Antonio and Miami.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: San Antonio coming up beating Indiana on their last game.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: They've won multiple games in a row, five games in
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: a row, starting a road trip, Pierman, I expect focus
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: out of San Antonio here. It's not really a bad
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: spot for them. Usually team's gonna be focused when they
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: start a road trip. This is the biggest game on
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: their road trip as well, so they should show up
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: for it. Miami, they should show up as well. I mean,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: it's a big game for them too, and they've lost
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: four games in a row. But the problem is they're
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: coming off a couple of pretty difficult games against the
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Lakers in Houston, and they were in Houston on Saturday,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: So that's a little bit of an issue for me
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: where they're coming off a tough game. They're gonna have
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: to put up another effort in a game like this.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: So I don't have a good field for this game.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: But you know, I can't come in and play the
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: heat in this one. The market read is saying to
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: take the points.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Of the heat here. I don't want to do it.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: The Spurs are five point favorite here, eighty one percent
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: of the tickets, sixty percent of the cash on San Antonio.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: So the money is, at least the way the market
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: looks right now, the money is indicating on the heat side.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: But playing multiple tough games in a role like that,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I can't come in and do that. So that one
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: is gonna be. Yeah, I stay away from that one.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: But you know, do with all this information what you
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: want to. Of course, he'd have a pretty long injury
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: report too right now. Uh so I don't know who's
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: in and who's out for the Heat here, including Wiggins
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: may miss the game with a toe injury.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know. So we will see.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Iowa got your money back, Well, did you did you
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: take them? Because because I because it was one of
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: my plays. If so, I'm glad to help. All right,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: We got Memphis at Atlanta. This is God, this is
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: an ugly game Atlanta. I mean, they've been winning most
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: of their recent games, but they've had a really, really
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: soft schedule recently. Memphis coming off of a double digit
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: loss to Charlotte.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Charlotte is hot right now.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Memphis was coming off a close game against the Celtics,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: so I think it was a little bit of a hangover.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: That was a back to back.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Memphis, They're playing pretty much without any of their starters though,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: so got to keep that in mind. Will they show
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: up against Atlanta?
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: They do have a Western Conference game next against San Antonio,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: which possibly could be a look ahead. Although I don't
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: know if you really overlook Atlanta. Who's really hot right now?
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Atlanta just beat Golden State. I'm still not impressed by
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: this run of Atlanta's here. I mean, really, the only
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: impressive win in this entire run here was actually was
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: there really any I mean, they beat Orlando.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I'm not impressed by this
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: run at all.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Atlanta's been beating bad teams, but Memphis is another bad team. However,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Atlanta does have Detroit on ESPN next and then the Celtics,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: so they do have two huge games on deck. So
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: I think I would lean to Memphis in this one.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Not really a very strong opinion for me, but the
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: money is indicating on the Grizzlies for what that's worth.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: You got to worry about how motivated they're going to
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: be in a spot like this though. Hawks are laying fourteen,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: which seems a little bit insane.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: It is a really high total though, in the two forties, so.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: You know, the game being higher scoring does help the favorite,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: give them more of a chance to cover a huge
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: number like that. Fifty five percent of the tickets are
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: on the Hawks, seventy percent of the cash on the Grizzlies. Again,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: do with that information what you want. I agree with
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: that money. I would lean to the Memphis side as
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: well there, but not a strong opinion for me.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, good to hear.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad to give up one play on the show.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: One good play yesterday, Charles. What's up? Thanks for hanging
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: out all right?
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Houston at Chicago Chicago, I mean, they really look like
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: they've packed it in for the most part for the season,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: but you never really know. Maybe they'll get up for
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: a game against Houston. Houston just beat Miami which is
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: a pretty big game. They do have Minnesota on deck
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: in an ESPN game, so it does look a little
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: bit SANDWICHI to me. I mean, those teams are a
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: lot better than Chicago, so maybe they do overlook Chicago here.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Probably I have with Chicago as they're coming off a
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: big game. They did actually put an effort in their
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: last game against Cleveland and they I believe they covered
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: this number. They lost by five at home, so that
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: was a pretty good effort out of Chicago.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I don't really.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Want to take them coming off a big game like that,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: but I think the spot is worse for Houston in
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Chicago is staying at home with three days off as well,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: so that should help them get over that a little
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: bit too them maybe break the losing streak potentially.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I think you will.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Actually probably get effort out of the Bulls in this one.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: I like the Bulls plus the points in this one.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: The money not really agreeing with me at least for now.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Minus eight and a half is the number on the
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Rockets here, sixty two percent of the tickets, seventy four
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: percent of the cash on Houston.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I would take.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: The points of the Bulls if I was gonna play
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: that game Toronto at Utah, Toronto having to go into
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: elevation here. Toronto just got absolutely destroyed by Phoenix, which
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: I believe. I think I gave out a lean on
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Phoenix now, but yeah, that was actually I think I
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: believe I said that if I was gonna play any
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: NBA game yesterday, it was Phoenix. So I'm kind of
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: mad I actually didn't add that one to my card.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was a bad spot for Toronto. They
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: were coming off a big game against Denver where they
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: played pretty well coming out of elevation and then they
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: actually well I don't know, they only had Utah on deck,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: so I don't know, but I think it was a
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: good spot for Phoenix.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Toronto.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Now they're on a back to back, but they got
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: absolutely crushed last night, so maybe they will show up
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: for this one. But still going from Denver down to
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Phoenix back to Utah in a span of four days.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's not that easy.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: They're playing a fourth game in six days as well,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: all in different cities. Utah just playing out the stretch here,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: so it's kind of a gamble as far as which
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: games are actually gonna show up for I don't know
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: if this is gonna be one of them. I don't
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: know if they're really gonna get that excited to play
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: the Raptors here Utah coming off a loss at home
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: to Philadelphia by ten in their last game.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I don't really have a good feel for this game.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: The money is saying the Raptors for now, but they're
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: laying twelve and a half. I wouldn't want to do that,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: uh fifty ticket seventy five the cash on the Raptors. Yeah,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: that game is definitely a stay away for me, and
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: you know me, I'm like almost entirely a sides better,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: but I see nothing in that game. Really tough to
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: gauge the motivation as well, which is the problem with
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: these long NBA season, especially this year. It's like all
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: the teams that are out of it are just completely
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: out of it already, Like none of these teams have
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: any chance. And then you have the teams that are
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: gonna be in either the playing or the playoffs kind
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: of fighting with each other for position. Yeah, it's a
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: little bit ridiculous. Kyle, what's up man? Thanks for hanging
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: out all right. The second game of the Peacock NBC
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Sports doubleheader is Golden State in Dallas. Not exactly a
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: great game. Golden State. We know they're pretty injured. I
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: don't really know what the status of Curry is. Let
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: me see, other than that it gets used in Indian cooking.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Let me see.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like Curry isn't even listed on the
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: injury report. But I think we just have no idea
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: if he's even coming back at all this season. Golden State,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I think they're pretty much out of it at this point,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: so they might just not really have much of a
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: motivation to bring or an incentive to bring him back.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Golden State's finishing out a road trip here.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: It's been a bad road trip, but they might be
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: getting a little bit tighed towards the end of the
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: road trip. They're playing a fifth game in eight days.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: It looks like here in a sixth game in nine
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: days as well, and seventh in eleven all in different cities,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: which is not easy. Maybe they're going to show up
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: and try to salvage the last game of the road trip.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Dallas just lost at home to the Clippers in overtime,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: so they put up a pretty big effort there against
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Clipper team that I think is at least going to
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: be in the play ins as far as the playoffs
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: are concerned, Dallas, I mean hosting Golden State. I think
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Dallas will actually get up for this because it's a
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: TV game kind of it's a little bit isolated because
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: it's a Monday with not a lot going on. I
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: would probably lean to Dallas in this game. Golden State
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: two point road favorite here, sixty five percent of the ticket,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: seventy one.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Percent of the cash.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: On the Warriors, it looks like they're probably gonna be
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: a bit of a public side though. But yeah, I
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: think I probably prefer Dallas. But I really don't love
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: that game at all. Brooklyn at Portland. To God, Brooklyn
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: did lose yesterday. I told you I thought they were
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: going to lose to Sacramento after a big effort against
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: the Knicks the game before that and having to travel
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: out to the West Coast.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: But I didn't want to lay six and a half with.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Sacramento, and what do you know, Sacramento won and they
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: didn't cover Sacramento.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: League six and a half is just it's so ridiculous,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: even against Brooklyn.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn's now at a back to back, they're having to
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: go up to Portland play a third game in four
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: and as all in different cities. They did just lose
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: at home to Portland on the sixteenth, though pretty ugly
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: by nineteen, so maybe they will actually show up for
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: this game just because of that. Maybe that will motivate
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: them a little bit. Portland and losing to Sacramento's pretty
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: ugly to be honest. Portland is returning home from a
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: road tripe, and you know, I don't like that spot.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: They've been away from more than a week. They went
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: out to the East Coast, and then they came all
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: the way back. They went to Minnesota, and then they
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: were in elevation against Denver yesterday they lost by double digits.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: But they're having to come home out of elevation, been
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: away for more than a week. Things you know, have
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: to get done at home when you get home. Brooklyn
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: very easy to overlook, especially when you just beat them
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: during that road trip. So I actually do like the
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Nets in this game. I don't think I can actually
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: do it, but if I was gonna play the game,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: I would take the points of the Nets. Portland is
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: lank fifteen, which seems a little bit ridiculous, even against
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: the team like the Nets, eighty eight percent of the
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: tickets ninety six percent of the cash on the Blazers.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: I think what you can take away from that is
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: that they will be a pretty heavily public side. And
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: the good thing if you are taking the points here
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: is that it is a low total at two nineteen,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: so makes it a little bit easier for the underdog
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: to potentially come within that number there. I still worry
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: about the Nets, like being on a back to back
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: with travel, though, but I think that has kind of
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: factored into the number. I think the number would probably
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: be a bit shorter like this opened at thirteen and
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: a half.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: It probably would be somewhere in that range if.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: The Nets were not on a back to back, and
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: then the final game is Milwaukee at the Clippers.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee, I believe still without.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Yanis again, we don't know if he's coming back for
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: the remainder of the year. They just had a big
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: upset win at Phoenix, which was a winner I gave
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: out here on the.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Show, so I was happy about that.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Could be a letdown spot, you know, when a team's
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: coming up a big upset like that, A lot of
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: times they'll be in letdown mode after that. Even though
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: they are playing a team that is probably gonna be
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: in the postseason in some capacity with the Clippers, Clippers
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: still they're better than the record looks because they had
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: such a bad start to the season. They came they're
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: coming off winning an overtime against Dallas.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: But they are returning home from a road trip.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: But it was only a road trip that was Wednesday
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: through Saturday. It did take them to New Orleans and Dallas.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: They ended a losing streak with the win over Dallas.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Got a little bit tested in that game. You could
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: argue they got a little bit of a scare because
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I assume they were a favorite in that game. So
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: maybe they'll show up with more effort here because they
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: got a scare in that last game. They haven't been
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: playing that well, ended a losing streak, so some indicators
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: that maybe you will get some efforts, some focus out
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: of the Clippers here.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: But the return home.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: From a road trip again, even though it's not a
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: long road trip, I still don't love it. You know,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: you got stuff to do once you get back. Maybe
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Toronto on Deck is a little bit of a bigger game.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: This game is kind of a tough call, I don't
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: like the game. Clippers look like they are taking money.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: They're up to thirteen and a half, seventy five percent
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: of tickets, ninety six percent of the cash on them,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: So the money is indicating on the Clippers. I guess
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't really want to lay points like that in
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: a spot like that.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: That one. Yeah, I'm staying away. And that is it, man.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: That's what I got for you today.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: One hockey game and then all the rest NBA half
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: hour show less than that. We talked about ten games.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Gave out one play, which is the Indiana Pacers plus
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: the thirteen and a half.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: There.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: I see the number all over the place. I see
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: a couple of books of the main books actually with
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: thirteen and a half, and then I see thirteen, I
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: see twelve and a half.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I see it all over the place.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: So hopefully there's not really a different between those numbers
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: once you get into that number range there. But that's
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: the play Pacers plus the points. Let's get another one
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: and o day here man. Learn a toade on Twitter.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: You can subscribe to me there. Learn to tode on Instagram.

• 25:27
  Speaker 2: you'll see when I go live. We're on audio as well.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: We're back on audio, Charles, thanks for letting me know
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: about that. I had to, Like I said, it wasn't
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: really I wasn't banned or anything, but I had to.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I think it was from when I had my account
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: on Spreaker incorrectly nooked for bought activity for some reason.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: I think when that happened, I then had to go
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: in and I had to manually like republish everything to Spotify.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: So I went and I did that, so it should
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: be back up there. We were on Spotify and Apple
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: and really like all the audio.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: So if you listen there that helps as well. Give
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: me good reviews over there.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Let's get more people listening to the show man. Tell
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: them I gave you guys Ioway yesterday. You know, I
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: know we haven't been doing that well in the month
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: of March, but you know, you have down swings in
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: this territory.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: It comes with the territory, is what I want to say.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: In this business, it is probably what I meant to
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: say covered in you because my yuke channel on YouTube.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: You can check that out as well Patreon dot com,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: slash will learn to toad.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I know I haven't been keeping up with it.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: My voice is kind of fucked right now too, so
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: got to get back to doing more yuke stuff. Though
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: my hand is also messed up from slapping the yuke.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: That's just the way that it is.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: I think I have broken fingers or who even knows.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: And Loser Cast will be back tomorrow night with the
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: new episodes. You can check that out as well. If
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: you want some funny. Last week's episode was pretty funny. No, yeah, yeah, no.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: If that happens again, let me know like right away
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: so I can fix it. Although I don't know if
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: it will be the same issue or not. But I'm
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: kind of surprised that happened because like Apple just continued
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: to work, so I don't know. I didn't think I
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: had to manually like resubmit the podcast or whatever to
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: certain platforms. I don't know, it's stupid. Thanks for letting
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: me know that's gonna do it. I appreciate it, guys.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Thanks to everybody for hanging out this morning. Man, Yeah,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: let's boost these numbers, baby, and peace until tomorrow. I'll
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: be back tomorrow, will have the n T resumes tomorrow
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: with a couple of games, and then there's gonna be
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: more hockey and I think it's a big hockey board
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: because it usually is on Tuesday.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: And then there'll be some NBA as well. Peace,
