And you know what, I'm 10 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: making an executive decision, as I do most executive decisions 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: on the show. It creates work for other people and 12 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,599 Speaker 1: they're finding out about it live on the air. But 13 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: we need to just can let's just make a good 14 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: easy for people to find email address for people to 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: send mail bag questions to, so people can I do 16 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: envy the way Simmons mail bag works where they have 17 00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: like long form, thought out questions and so so that'll 18 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: come up. We'll get that in the works at some 19 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: point here in the near future. Today, we're not doing 20 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: a mail bag. Instead, we are going to do a 21 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: bit of a Game five preview because that game is Saturday, 22 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: and we're not obviously gonna have another episode before then, 23 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: and a bunch of World Cup stuff again full disclosure, 24 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: we are recording this before. We're recording this right after 25 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: Mexico beat South Africa as called by me to the 26 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: exact score two nil, before South Korea or a career 27 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: Republic Chechia, and before any of the Friday games. So 28 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: that's where we're at in the World Cup calendar. When 29 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: we're doing this, only one game has been played. So 30 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: we'll do World Cup stuff in a bit, but first 31 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: to Monday, let's get to game five. 32 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: It's totally possible. Why next time we go live the 33 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: finals champion will be crowned as a loss like the 34 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 2: Spurs to suffered too hard to come back from. Do 35 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 2: you see them winning this Game five? Where do we 36 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: go from here? 37 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: So here's where I stand on the series. I think 38 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: the Spurs lost the championship Wednesday night. They Lebron James 39 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: is not walking through that door. They are not coming 40 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: back from down three h or down three to one. 41 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: They are to me, about as dead as a team 42 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 1: that was down. It was down three to zero. And 43 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: part of that is because I do not think they 44 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: are better than the Knicks. I know they aren't more 45 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: clutch or better at executing down the stretch than the Knicks, 46 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 1: and there is no lead the Spurs can get out 47 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: to where the Knicks in Game five, where the Knicks 48 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: will be nervous, or where the Spurs will be comfortable. 49 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: It is remarkable to Monse that the Spurs have had 50 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 1: a double digit lead in every game this series. Well, 51 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: and it's start the games off hot. But then also, 52 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this in on the fly the score 53 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: right around the two minute mark of these games. Game one, 54 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: san Antonio at the with two minutes left in the 55 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: game had a one point lead. They lost Game two 56 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: of this series. At the two minute mark, san Antonio 57 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 1: had I'm doing this again on the fly, had a 58 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: they were down by one at the two minute mark. 59 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry, so let's do it this way. San 60 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: Antonio at the one minute mark of Game two had 61 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: a two point so at the game one at the 62 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: two minute mark had a one point lead and they lost. 63 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: Game two at the one minute mark, they had a 64 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: two point lead and they lost. Game three obviously was 65 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: the game they one, but that was also a game that, 66 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: in the waning moments, all of a sudden, appeared to 67 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: be in the balance, and at the two minute mark 68 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: of game three, say it again, No, not there talking 69 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: about yesterday's No. At the two minute mark of game three, 70 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: san Antonio was up four, they won it. And yesterday 71 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: at the two minute mark, san Antonio was up one 72 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: and they lost the game. So they have been not 73 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: only up double digits every game this series, but up 74 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: within the final two minutes in every game this series. 75 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: And they're down three points. So that speaks to the 76 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: fact or they're down three points, they're down three games 77 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: to one, speaks to the fact that they're good enough 78 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: to win. And I and you know Stefan Castle keeps 79 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: saying we're gonna win every game. We expect to win 80 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: three in a row. Then after yesterday's game was like, 81 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: we have dictated the winners and losers of this game. 82 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: They were credit at some point, Yeah, exactly. They refuse 83 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: to just give the Knicks credit. But the other piece 84 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: of this is, right now this moment, who on the 85 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: Spurs is playing great? I don't know that anybody is. 86 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: I think Castle is the closest one to it. 87 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 2: I can't think of anything like really bad Visell moments. 88 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,119 Speaker 2: I feel like he's been pretty consistently. 89 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: Decent, sure and great playing great like and I said 90 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: Castle and Castle in yesterday's game or wednesday's game was 91 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: two for seven from the field. Wimby's had one great game. 92 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: Uh you Visell is shooting the lights out. That part 93 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: is true, but again he's giving you thirteen and seven. 94 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: It feels like Dylan Harper is you know, you could 95 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: use more of him, but he can't hit an outside shot. 96 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: None of the Spurs are playing great. Meanwhile, Og is 97 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: playing the best basketball of his life. And Brunson, while 98 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: not the efficiency he would like, Demons is thirty points, 99 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: five rebounds, five assists, and his efficiency has only gotten 100 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: better as this series has gone on. The you know, 101 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: Game one he was thirty nine percent, Game two he 102 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: was bad. He's twenty eight percent, Game three forty four percent. 103 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: Game five or game four forty eight percent. But here 104 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: is the real reason that I believe. I believe the 105 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: Knicks are gonna win Game five. And it is not 106 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: because I think the Spurs are just going to be 107 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: a shell of themselves. Because everyone is looking at it 108 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: from the perspective of what that type of loss could 109 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: or could not do to the Spurs. That's not the 110 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: perspective I have. The perspective I have is what that 111 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: type of win is going to do for the Knicks. 112 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: Those guys on the Knicks are going to walk into 113 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: Game five bonded in a way that I don't want 114 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: to use a war analogy like the just melded as 115 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: a unit, the likes of which you it's usually impossible 116 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: to be without having won a championship together. Like demon, Say, 117 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: what will Josh Hart do to try to help out 118 00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: Ogannaobian game? Anybody? Literally? Anything, anything? Carl Anthony Towns, Is 119 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: there anything that can happen in game five from an 120 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: officiating perspective that he is going to think he can't overcome? No? 121 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: Is there any deficit or matchup that Jalen Brunson can 122 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: be staring at and not think watch what I'm about 123 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: to fucking do here? No, Jose Alvarado is like guys. 124 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: Four months ago, I was playing in the Smoothie King 125 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: Center for eight hundred people. I just played nine fourth 126 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: quarter finals minutes and was unbelievable. It og and Nanobi, 127 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: who it should be noted og and Nanobi hit a 128 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: game game winning three in the playoffs as a kid, 129 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: I can you guys look up the game that was, 130 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: because I just remember he had a great quote. I 131 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: think it was the year the Raptors won the championship. 132 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: Oh no, the year the Raptors won the championship. It 133 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: wasn't that year. He was out with an injury that 134 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: playoff run. But Annonobe had a great line when he 135 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: was asked after he hit a game winning corner three 136 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: and about did he think it was going in? And 137 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: he just said He's like, well, I didn't expect to 138 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: miss it, and I'm it was. It was just super funny. 139 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: I'm trying to find the game the scrolling his game 140 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: log and if you guys see it, tell me. But 141 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: I you know, I'm saying I remember it vividly, but 142 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: I obviously don't remember one sneaky. 143 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 2: Leathless three point shooters, like even outside of Curry, I 144 00:09:54,679 --> 00:10:00,239 Speaker 2: just feel because of his size, like that dude, a man. 145 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: The it was Daniel Was it the Boston game in 146 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenty? The okay, so maybe that that's what it was, 147 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: the double overtime let me see. No, so I don't 148 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: think that's it, because that says Norman Powell. The No, 149 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: that's not it. The I'm just gonna find it. Sorry, 150 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: Ogan Nnobe. If it's problem is you google right now 151 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: game winner, Ojan Andoby, you're gonna get a different thing. Yeah. 152 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 2: This Celtics East Semifinals, Boston Leeds to zero. 153 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: That's okay, definitively that's what it was in the bubble. Yeah, okay, 154 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 1: that big game winner. Oh it wasn't the double o 155 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: double overtime either. Okay, the double overtime game was a 156 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: different one of the different game. So if that was 157 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, the reason I did all this, Sorry, I 158 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: should have just had that before. Bad job by me. 159 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: So he had a playoff game winner when you know 160 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: he was it was twenty two years old or twenty 161 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 1: three years old at before he became a star, and 162 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: that was when the Raptors were the defending champs. But 163 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: they didn't have uh Kawhi wasn't there, that's right? The 164 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: Oh yeah it was, and it was by the way, 165 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 1: it was point five left and Kyle Lowry I'm watching 166 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: it now, throws it over the top of the court 167 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: and it has to just be a snap, instant shot 168 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: and he doesn't even celebrate. He's just cold as ice. 169 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: So back to the point, what level of confidence is 170 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: Ognanobi gonna be playing with the only guy on the Knicks. 171 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: There's two guys on the Knicks who are probably like 172 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: act wish that things were going a little better. Deuce 173 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: who had a really rough game, and Mitchell Robinson who 174 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: but maybe Mitch is like a. 175 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 2: You know what, broken pinky. 176 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, but also I hit Wimby, he talked shit and 177 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: then he fell apart. You know, maybe Mitch can convinced himself. 178 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: I helped turn that game. I just think the Knicks 179 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: are going to be on another level. And here's another prediction. 180 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: I think that stadium in San Antonio is gonna be 181 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: MSG South. I already have been looking at the tickets 182 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: because I can. Again. I don't wonder if you guys 183 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: listened to yesterdays episode and I was talking about my buddy, 184 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: who's the highest steaks gambler. He he and some of 185 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: his friends have been for all of the Knicks road 186 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: games been chartering their own plane and they split it 187 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: and then they go to the games the private plane. 188 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: I Nick Wright, man of the people, also down up 189 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: the money for it. Have never flown private anywhere in 190 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 1: my life. With that said, I'm not above asking somebody 191 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: who's already charted the plane, are there is there an 192 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: extra seat? Like it's just gonna go empty? Like the 193 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're you know, if you're on the 194 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 1: way that if we're going the same place, that's the 195 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: that's the what do you mean? That's their People go 196 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: on a trip. 197 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 2: People go on a trip, and they'll just I forget 198 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 2: how it works. But you just pay a certain amount 199 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 2: of money. And it really was supposed to take off 200 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 2: money for everybody else, but you just end up reaping 201 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 2: the benefit. I don't know, I don't know how to 202 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 2: describe it. 203 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: That would I would, you know, I would, I had, 204 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: of course offer it's a throw. But if the plane's 205 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: already paid for, if you again, I'm just saying, point 206 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: is this. I think there's a chance, Tomans, that your 207 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: mom and I might be able to catch a ride 208 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: to San Antonio. There's a chance. I don't think it's 209 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: a great chance, but there's a chance, and get if 210 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: that's the case, I obviously would do it, and I 211 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: would buy tickets the Spurs game five prices. All of 212 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: a sudden, right now we're damn near Knicks game four prices. 213 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: Like I think Knicks fans are coming down for that moment, 214 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: and I just think the Knicks are gonna be a 215 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: team on fire, and they can obviously win in San Antonio. 216 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: And here's the one other thing I will say, and 217 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: maybe it won't happen, but you know what we haven't 218 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: seen yet this series, the Knicks go crazy from three. 219 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: They listen, they have been consistent and good from three. 220 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: But Game one Knicks eleven of thirty six from three 221 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: thirty one percent. It's fine. Game two fifteen of thirty 222 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: eight from three thirty nine percent. That's that's good. You 223 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: know that, that maybe even really good. Game three the 224 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: Knicks were thirteen of thirty seven from three. That's again 225 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: just average. And last night the Knicks were fifteen of 226 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: thirty two from three. Now that's a great percentage, but 227 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: it's not a crazy number. We haven't had the eighteen 228 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: to three pointer game yet for the Knicks. I wonder 229 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: if that's coming in game five. I know you have 230 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: some follow ups here, so go ahead. 231 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 2: Are you at all worried about a Knicks hangover? Like 232 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 2: you know you're saying, are gonna come in feeling feeling themselves, 233 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 2: feeling like they can do anything? But do you think 234 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 2: that that might work against them? 235 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: Be built that way, bro, I don't think Brunson has 236 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: been so yeah styled stoic og is I mean OG's 237 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: quote of like everybody's excited was so funny, but he 238 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: is Josh Hart is angry, like Josh Hart's not celebrating 239 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: the So no, I'm not worried about that. And then 240 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: the question is how will Wimby respond? And my answer 241 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: to that is I think he will have bounts of 242 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: greatness and maybe maybe he'll have one more. It would 243 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: have to be in game five, awesome, awesome game, and 244 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: they can force game six. Wimby does not have three 245 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: straight great games in it. He doesn't have the juice. 246 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 2: No chance if they win this game once Saturday. 247 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I think people can trick themselves in 248 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 1: this regard. It's like, all right, can the Spurs win Saturday? Well, yes, obviously, 249 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: sure they can. In fact, they are the favorites to 250 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: win Saturday, like Vegas thinks they're going to win Saturday. Okay, well, 251 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: then can they win at MSG, Well, yeah, of course 252 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: they can. They just won game three and they were 253 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: up twenty nine in game game four and then well, 254 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: they would be favorites in Game seven. Looking at them individually, 255 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: it does not seem that hard. And I know some 256 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: people say you can't look at it this way, but 257 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: I am looking at it this way. I do not 258 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: care about it individually at all. Here's what I care about. 259 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: Do I think the New York Knicks, who have lost 260 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: one game in seven weeks and just came back from 261 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: down twenty nine points for the greatest comeback in the 262 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: history of the Finals, are about to have a three 263 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: game losing streak. Apps so fucking lutely not so. I 264 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: think the Knicks will win Game five. I am wholly 265 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: and entirely confident the Knicks are gonna win this series. 266 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: I am less confident with my World Cup predictions.

But now I want to know 313 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 2: what you have your eyes set on in the World Cup. 314 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 2: Maybe top five storylines. 315 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I listen. The number one storyline, obviously, is 316 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: can Argentina defend its title? And if they were to, 317 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: how it would mean that Messi it's it's it is 318 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: debatable whether or not Messi is the greatest player ever. 319 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: Pele has has something to say about that. Some believe 320 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: it's debatable whether or not Messi is even the greatest 321 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: player of his own generation. Christiano Ronaldo would have something 322 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: say about that if Argentina were to win this World Cup, 323 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: because Messi would have to be a big piece of it. 324 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: It is simply not debatable in the least. It is 325 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: not a argument, It is not a question. It is 326 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: not a as I love to say, an allowed opinion 327 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: to say that the that Messi. If Messi goes back 328 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: to back World Cups to finish it off and has 329 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: all these World Cup records, So that's the number one 330 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: story line. And again number two storyline isn't really a 331 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: number two storyline, but they kind of go hand in hand. 332 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: Is can Cristiano Ronaldo who is no longer even close 333 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: to the best player on Portugal somehow in his sixth 334 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: World Cup ever. I mean, first of all, score the 335 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: first ever goal he has outside of the group stage, 336 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: and second of all, get Portugal to its first ever 337 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: World Cup final. Might let alone win it? That would 338 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: be you know, those are kind of the the goat storylines. 339 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: Spain and France are the two best teams. Spain might 340 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: have the best player in the world in La Miga Mal, 341 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: but he's dealing with an injury. France has the best 342 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: overall roster, so you know, those are that's hovering there 343 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: for We'll get to the Team USA stuff in a moment, 344 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: and then for me, you know, I impartial to Brazil. 345 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: Brazil has been a massive disappointment for the last twenty 346 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: four years at the World Cup and they are dealing 347 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: with injury. They are dealing with not even being close 348 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 1: to the favorite for one of the only times of 349 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: my entire life. But I think they can do it. 350 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: So those are, you know, some of the main storylines. 351 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: But I would like to get to Team USA. So 352 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: let's get into that. 353 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 2: US men's national team has their first game of the 354 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 2: tournament against Paraguay tonight. You said that a run to 355 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 2: the quarterfinals will be a massive success for our squad. 356 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 2: What do you have to see out of them tonight 357 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 2: to believe that they can make it that. 358 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: Far a clear cut victory. So here is the way. 359 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 1: If the US doesn't make it out of the group stage, 360 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: especially now in the expanded World Cup where eight third 361 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: place teams make it out, then it is an utter, 362 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: incomplete catastrophe. Okay, I'm not even going to entertain that possibility, 363 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: not because it's not possible, but because that just takes 364 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 1: discussion totally direction. The goal is not to make it 365 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: out of the group stage. The goal is to win 366 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:25,479 Speaker 1: the group therefore draw a third place finisher in uh 367 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: in the round of thirty two, have the best path 368 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:37,479 Speaker 1: possible to the round of sixteen and for just the 369 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: second time in US history, make it out of the 370 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: round of sixteen and into the quarterfinals. If they are 371 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: going to do that, demonse too. The worst two teams 372 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna play the whole tournament are the first two 373 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: games they play Paraguayans Australia. It's not because those are 374 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: awful teams, but it's because you would expect that everyone 375 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: to make it to the knockout round to be better 376 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: than those two teams, or at least certainly any team 377 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: to make it to the round of sixteen to be 378 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: better than those two teams, so they need to win 379 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: their first game. The team USA has been to ten 380 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: World Cup. Six times. They've advanced past the prior to 381 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: this year, six times they've advanced past the group stage. 382 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: All six times they did they either won or drew 383 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: their first game. Four times they didn't advance past the 384 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: group stage they lost their first game. Paraguay is going 385 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: to try to kind of muck it up and play 386 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: a defensive game, so one nothing could be the score here. 387 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: The US has not been playing one nothing type of games. 388 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: They have their last fourteen games the US men's national team, 389 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: they only have won what they call clean sheet but shutout. 390 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,959 Speaker 1: But the US has to win for night flat if 391 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna If you're gonna believe that this team can 392 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 1: win multiple knockout round games, they need to go into 393 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: their first game of a home World Cup and beat Paraguay. 394 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: You beat Paraguay, you beat Australia, and then you set 395 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,719 Speaker 1: yourself up where you just need a draw against Turkey 396 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: A to basically lock up the group most likely and 397 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: be fine. The goal for this group stage for Team 398 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 1: USA realistic goal should be seven points, two wins and 399 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: one draw. An acceptable result would be five or six points, 400 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: meaning five points would be one win and two draws. 401 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:55,360 Speaker 1: Six points would be two wins and one loss. A 402 00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 1: disappointing result would be four points, a win, a draw, 403 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: and a loss, and a wholly An entirely unacceptable result 404 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: would be three points, which would be one win and 405 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: two losses or three draws. I'm going to I'm gonna 406 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: be optimistic. I really like the coach. I like how 407 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: they have played at in their last two warm ups 408 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: against Senegal in Germany, and I'm gonna say Team USA 409 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: is gonna get seven points. I think they are gonna 410 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: beat Paraguay, they are gonna beat Australia, and they're gonna 411 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: draw against Turkey A and win the group and get 412 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: seven points, and then we'll see who we draw. All right, 413 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: let's go to the first follow up. 414 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 2: Here, America's plus seven fifty to reach the quarterfinals. 415 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: Do you like that value? I don't because and here's 416 00:27:52,800 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: why I just wouldn't. I think it is I don't 417 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: want to make that bet on a team that is 418 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: as interesting but not top world class until I see 419 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: who they would be playing in route there, like, it 420 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: just feels like a very blind bet not knowing who 421 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: they would have to play in the round of thirty 422 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: two in the round of sixteen, and you honestly, depending 423 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: on who they're playing, if they're playing one of the 424 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: top teams in the world, might be able to get 425 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 1: better odds by simply waiting until the end of the 426 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: group stage and then parlaying you know, them to win 427 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: the round of thirty two and then then them to 428 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: win the round the round of sixteen. Go to this elimination, 429 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: this stage of elimination odds demons. 430 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, so the stage elimination odds for US is group 431 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 2: stage plus three fifty round if thirty two is plus 432 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 2: one eighty five Sweet sixteen plus two forty quarterfinals plus 433 00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 2: four seventy five semi finals plus twelve hundred up plus 434 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 2: three thousand winner plus six thousand. 435 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: I think the most likely result of this tournament for 436 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: Team USA is an all too familiar place of losing 437 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: in the round of sixteen, getting out of the group 438 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: winning one knockout round game in the Expanded World Cup 439 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: again prior to this year, to Monsey, when you get 440 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: out of the group you're in the round of sixteen, 441 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: but this year they expanded it. I think that's the 442 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: most likely result. Again, I I am not I'm not 443 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: betting that ahead of time. What I'm simply saying, yeah, 444 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:56,479 Speaker 1: but that's the most likely result. I also am I 445 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: think the maybe once the tournament gets rolling, if I'm 446 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: really dialed again, I did predict the Mexico score exactly. 447 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: The soccer same game parlays. All same game parlays are tough. 448 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: Soccer ones are particularly tough because there's just so few events, 449 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: Like there's just you know, it's like shots on goal, 450 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: total shots, corner kicks, those things. Yeah, so I don't 451 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: for here's what I am curious. What is the hard 452 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:37,479 Speaker 1: rock bet odds of one nothing US over Paraguay. I 453 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: do like, I think that is the most likely result. 454 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: I think a one nil United States win, and I 455 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: assume I could get pretty good plus money on that. 456 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys can plus five point fifty. Oh, 457 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: I like that a lot, then I would have. I 458 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: thought that was gonna be around plus four hundred. Yeah, 459 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: I like one nil US over Pairaguay. The now here's 460 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: the other thing it absolutely could be instead of one nil, 461 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: it could be three to two, and that sounds like 462 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: a total cop out. My point is this, if the 463 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: US scores early, then or either team scores early, then 464 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: the other team can all of a sudden, you know, 465 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: be like, all right, we're gonna have to take more chances. 466 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna Sometimes an early goal leads to a higher 467 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: scoring game, and sometimes, oddly an early goal leads to 468 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: a lower scoring game because the team that scores then 469 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: just like locks it up. They play back and they're, 470 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: you know, very conservative. But sometimes an early goal makes 471 00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: a team if they're the team that didn't score it, 472 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: if they were gonna play conservative, they then open it up. 473 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: But I think one nothing US is the where I 474 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: land on it. All right, let's go to the World 475 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: Cup bets real quick here. 476 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 2: Last week you said the smart money was on France 477 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 2: to win it all at plus five twenty five and 478 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 2: Norway was a fun long shot at plus twenty five hundred. 479 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 2: What other bets have you had your eye on? I mean, 480 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 2: go ahead, sorry, yeah, go ahead, no you go. We 481 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 2: got Brazil at plus eight hundred, Norway at plus twenty 482 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 2: five hundred. 483 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: Oh, Norway was the So here's I'm just gonna tell 484 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: you the bets I have made. I am rooting for Brazil. 485 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: I am picking Brazil. Yes, France might be the smart money. 486 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:48,959 Speaker 1: I like Brazil's manager once. You know, one time in 487 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: my life I've played cards with Aymar, so I like him. 488 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: Wow that happened? Were you in Brazil? In Vegas? He's 489 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: a big No, he's a he's a huge poker player 490 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: the and you know, you know who he plays cards 491 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: with all the time, with some bodies of mine, but 492 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: not me. This game's a little big for me. Jimmy Butler. 493 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: Naymar and Jimmy Butler play play poker together all the time. 494 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: Oh so I am my pick, and my bet is 495 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: on Brazil. But I did have I do have a 496 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: little sprinkle on Norway. Norway has not made the World 497 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: Cup in Earling Holland's lifetime. But the reason to pick. 498 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna act like I know a ton 499 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: about the Norwegian team. Here's what I know about their team. 500 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: They might have the best player in the world and 501 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: maybe he just goes on a magical run. So at 502 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: twenty five to one, I don't mind it. The producers 503 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: are trying to make me an offer of Brazil and 504 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: France to be the finalist at twenty two to fifty. 505 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: Here's the problem with any of these finalist bets, and 506 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: again I just being real with the audience. We don't 507 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: know what thet's gonna be, So what the okay, you 508 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: bet Brazil and France to be finalists, and then because 509 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: of where they finished in their group they're on the 510 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,919 Speaker 1: same side of the bracket, you lose. Guess what, They're 511 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: gonna play each other for the finals. So I am 512 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: once the bracket is set, once the group stage is over, 513 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: then I'm fine with all of that. But I'm not 514 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: making it would be like asking someone to bet to 515 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: pick four final four teams before we see what regions 516 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: the teams are in, and it's like, okay, I've got 517 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 1: these two teams both in the final four. Oh shit, 518 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: they're both in the East region. Well, I guess I lose. 519 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: So the I'm just not gonna do its business. But yeah, so, 520 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: but here's what I will say to the audience. Quickly, 521 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: watch these games.
