It is me Joey 3 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 2: b Joe Pi's APA, and today we're going to take 4 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 2: a look at the NBA rest of season. That's right, 5 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 2: the All Star Game is in the books. So now 6 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 2: we're in the stretch run of the NBA season into 7 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 2: the playoffs. And to help me break it down, is 8 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 2: my good pal from my sports grid days, the one 9 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 2: the only, Dave Martinez, the spit and statistician himself. You 10 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 2: can fall him on the Twitter machine at spit and speeds. 11 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 2: That's with a Z at the end, because he's way 12 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 2: cooler than me. We have the same hairstyle, we have 13 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: a lot of the same outlooks on life. Dane. It 14 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 2: is great to have you here for a little NBA 15 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 2: talk today. My friend, I got to ask you this. 16 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: My question is, did you watch the Slam Dunk Contest 17 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 2: on Saturday? Did you watch the elimination Chamber from WWE Saturday? 18 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 2: Or because you have a six month old boy now 19 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 2: in the house, did you just watch your eyelids on 20 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 2: Saturday night? 21 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: So it's very interesting you asked this, Joe, And like 22 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: usually we talk football, we talk baseball. We're getting more 23 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: well rounded and I like that. Thanks for having me. 24 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: The answer to your question is all of the above, 25 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: my friend. The beautiful part about the Slam dunk contest, though, 26 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: is you know you could just like record it and 27 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: fast forward through it and basically see the entire thing 28 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: of what you actually needed in about ten minutes. But 29 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: on elimination Chamber, I think montes Ford is the name 30 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. But that's a different topic 31 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: for a different day. 32 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: That's a different show. You can come on my wrestling 33 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 2: show and talk about that anytime. Let me tell you, 34 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 2: I'm just happy the guy who won the dunk contest 35 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 2: actually made the dunks on the first attempt. Some of 36 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 2: these years they take it six or seven times to 37 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 2: make a dunk. It kills the whole thing. Man, It 38 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 2: just cools the whole momentum. So if you make the 39 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 2: SPECTACU you're a dunk after five attempts. Who cares? 40 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. 41 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 2: But look, we've got a lot of attempts left to 42 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: make some money.

And Dan, let's start here 60 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 2: at some of the teams on the bubble. We're looking 61 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 2: at the NBA standings right now. Obviously we have Brooklyn 62 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: Net's making a lot of changes in the last few 63 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 2: weeks to the team. We have the New York Knick 64 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: sitting in the sixth spot. The Heat are in the 65 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: seventh spot, and then the Atlanta Hawks are in the 66 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 2: eighth spot as of right now, with the Wizards and 67 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 2: Raptors right on their tail. We're looking at what the 68 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 2: mark is here at bettingpros dot com. You've got the 69 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 2: Knicks at minus four hundred to make the playoffs, the 70 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 2: Hawks at minus one sixty two, and then it jumps 71 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: to plus one sixty four for the Raptors plus one 72 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 2: eighty four for the Wizards. 73 00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: In the East. 74 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 2: Do you see any value on these teams are under 75 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: plus money or do you think it's the Knicks and 76 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 2: the Hawks for these last few spots. 77 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: So I don't think it's the Knicks and the Hawks 78 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: in the last few spots. And to be quite honest, 79 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: in a lot of places where you could bet make 80 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs, you could also bet miss the playoffs. It's 81 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: like make miss playoffs under over on the win total. 82 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: And the team that I would actually be looking to 83 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: fade is the Atlanta Hawks. Joe Okay, this is a 84 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: team that just fired their head coach, Nate McMillan. This 85 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: is a team that was looking to potentially sell John 86 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: Collins at the trade deadline. A lot of teams were 87 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: looking for for a guy like him, and so to me, 88 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like it's trending in the right direction 89 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: for Atlanta. And it's very tight. You mentioned the standings, right. 90 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: You got a team like Washington, a team like Toronto, 91 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: other teams behind them that I think can overtake them. 92 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: And I think missing the playoffs is a better bet 93 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: for Atlanta because even if they do finish nine or ten, 94 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: that miss playoffs is after the play in tournament happens. 95 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: You gotta get the kind of fine print correct on 96 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: that making the playoffs or making the play in tournament 97 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: are different actual bets. So make sure you check. For me, 98 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: I'm fading Atlanta in the East. I could see a Washington, 99 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: I could see some of these teams abstually hopping Atlanta, 100 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: And to be quite honest, I think Atlanta's going to 101 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: look a lot different next year. We thought about Dejante 102 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: Murray coming in that him, partnered with Trey Young, was 103 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: going to kind of help them take that next step. 104 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: It hasn't really happened. There's been dissension the Trey Young 105 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: and McMillan issue about practice during the year. It seems 106 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: like they're going in the wrong direction. And with the 107 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: twenty five games left, I don't think they have much 108 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: to play for. I think they're sinking like a stone Joe. 109 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 2: So are you looking at the Raptors and at the 110 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: plus one sixty four, you're looking at the Wizards? At 111 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 2: plus one eighty four, you want to go a little deeper? 112 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: Sure of those Toronto would be the team for me, 113 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: because going into the trading deadline, a lot of people 114 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 1: thought Toronto would be crazy sellers. Right. We heard about 115 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: potential deals for Fred van Fleet, we heard about potential 116 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: deals for siakam or og Anobi. None of those actually happened, right, So, 117 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: now that we're kind of past that threshold, I think 118 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: they're still kind of complete. They got Yaka Pertle from 119 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: San Antonio and so they didn't break it down in 120 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: the way that a lot of people may be expected. 121 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: So I think they could be a team that hops. 122 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: So if we're talking clearly about make the playoffs, there's 123 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: what I would think is the smart money for Toronto 124 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: to be that team to hop Atlanta as I'm talking about. 125 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: So there you go. The Native New York are fading 126 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 2: the knicks. Everybody, make sure you're taking notes on this, 127 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 2: and then make someone make it. 128 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: The Knicks, you make it. 129 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 2: Oh, you just don't want to them at the Hawks 130 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 2: too well, I thought at the beginning you said I 131 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 2: about the Knicks necessarily too, No, because I'm not going. 132 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: To take them because to me, because. 133 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 2: Of the number, it's the number. 134 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: And also there is that clarification on make the play 135 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: in tournament and make the playoffs. Right, the Knicks could 136 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: be one of the teams that make the play in tournament. 137 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: But then maybe, you know, maybe they defecate the mattress 138 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: at MSG in the play in tournament. I could see 139 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: that happening as well. But I think they'll, you know, 140 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: make it to the next threshold. 141 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: All right, Let's talk about the next threshold in the 142 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 2: West for a second. Let's talk about the Golden State 143 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: Warriors at minus three to twenty to make the playoffs, 144 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,239 Speaker 2: same as the Sacramento Kings that same number. New Orleans 145 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 2: Pelicans are at minus one sixty eight in the Minnesota 146 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: Timberwolves at minus one fifty four. So looking at this 147 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 2: grouping right now, you have New Orleans in the seventh spot, 148 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 2: the Tea Wolves in eight, Golden State Warriors at nine, 149 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 2: and then the Oklahoma City Thunder at ten, you got 150 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 2: the Jazz, the Trailblazers, and the Lakers sitting there at 151 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 2: twenty seven wins and the standings just trying to, you know, 152 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 2: kind of hold on for dear life. So the West, 153 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 2: in your opinion, is this one a little bit more 154 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 2: wide open because of some of the caliber of players 155 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 2: we have, or do you think this is another one 156 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 2: where you're looking at hey, like the teams that are 157 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 2: going to you know, like the gold they Wererior is 158 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 2: going to turn it on the second half. I feel 159 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 2: like that that's everybody's mo in the NBA is like, oh, 160 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 2: we'll just turn it on the second half. Is that 161 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 2: a dangerous game to play though? With these teams? And 162 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 2: if so, where are you going to put your money 163 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 2: when it comes to this Western playoffs and these teams 164 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 2: that are still on the bubble, It is. 165 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: A dangerous game to play. Ultimately, Yes, I do believe 166 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: the Warriors will be in the main field. I don't 167 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: know if that's flipping the light switch on or or 168 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: just getting healthy. But the real team that I would 169 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: be taking here to make the playoffs is due to health. 170 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: And Joe's New Orleans Pelicans, Okay, I think they are 171 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: better than their current standing situation right now. Eventually, Zion 172 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: Williamson will come back, although there are updated reports that 173 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: he had a little bit of a setback with the hamstring. 174 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: He's going to miss a couple more weeks, but I 175 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: do think he will be back. And this is a 176 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: Pelicans team that was missing Brandon Ingram for a lot 177 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: of the year. He is now back. I love what 178 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: they're doing in you know, with CJ. McCollum and Valanchuons. 179 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: I think they have a good team, so much that 180 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: they were in the top four when they were all 181 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: healthy earlier in the season. I think the injuries has 182 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: kind of gotten to them a little bit, but I 183 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: expect them to have Zion return and play well enough. 184 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: Even at what I think is minus one sixty or so. 185 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: I'm not going to pay the minus three twenty like 186 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: you're talking about for Golden State, but minus one sixty 187 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: for New Orleans, I think that's still okay. That would 188 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: be the team on the list that actually gets to 189 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: the window and clicks submit switching gears to the conference winner. 190 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 2: Right now in the East, the Boston Celtics have a 191 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 2: half game lead over the Milwaukee Bucks right now. In 192 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: terms of the betting lines, we're looking at the Celtics 193 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,239 Speaker 2: at plus one fifteen to win the East, the Bucks 194 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: at plus one eighty five. Then after that we could 195 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 2: talk about the Sixers and anybody else you want to, 196 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 2: but let's talk about these two teams at the top. 197 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: It's very close right now, but Vegas is telling you 198 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 2: they're favoring the Celtics in a big way. Do you 199 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 2: see the East in the same light? 200 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: Not necessarily, Joe, I think this is not the two 201 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: horse race that everybody is framing it as I got 202 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: to tell you the truth. I think it's a three 203 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: horse race and I do like Philly, So we could 204 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: talk about that later on. But of the two teams, 205 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: I think Boston is better. I think they are the 206 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: deserving favorite. I think they play. If you're a soccer fan, 207 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: you know there's that concept of playing the beautiful game, 208 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: and I think the ball movement is there with Boston. 209 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: I think that they have the experience, have been there, 210 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: and I think Jason Tatum is having his ascension happen 211 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: over this year. So I do think that Boston is 212 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 1: the deserving favorite. Right The question is do I like 213 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: the value at that number and if I'm looking at values, 214 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: what the prices are right now, give me the Philadelphia 215 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: seventy six ers at like six to one or plus 216 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: six point fifty, wherever it is. I think they are 217 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: on the same tier as Milwaukee and as Boston. I 218 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: think they have the combo you need in Embiid and 219 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: Harden in the same way Boston has a Tatum and Brown. 220 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: But Joe, when we talk baseball, you know all the 221 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: time when we get to the playoffs, right, it's not 222 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: about the studs. It's do you have that like game 223 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: three starting pitcher? Like who's that other extra dude? Right? 224 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: And to me, I believe the most critical name in 225 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference, it's not a high price name. It 226 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: is Tyrese Maxi of the Philadelphia seventy six ers. He 227 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: is their third scorer about twenty points a game. I 228 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: think he is going to take a step forward. I 229 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: think he is going to be that additional scoring option 230 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: along with Embiid and Harden that makes Philly pretty much 231 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: just as good. They are only a couple of games back. 232 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: And for me, Joe, the idea that the price is 233 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: so much different, I think the value is on Philadelphia, 234 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: MB could be the best player on the floor in 235 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: any game the seventy six ers play. I think the 236 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: value is with Philly, and I think it's a crime 237 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: that it's not being built as so almost three teams 238 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: on that top tier instead of two now. As it 239 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: relates to Milwaukee, Joe, I'm willing to fade the Milwaukee Bucks. Okay. 240 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: I have seen in playoff series before, in a seven 241 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: game series, good defensive teams come up with ways to 242 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: stifle Yiannis. Okay. I don't know if I believe in 243 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: Middleton or Holiday to be that Robin to the Batman. Okay, 244 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that they. I know they've gotten there before, 245 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: but I don't know that that's what I'm going to ride. 246 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: I think Boston is better, and I think Philly have 247 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: the horses and are underrated to be on Tier one B. 248 00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 2: It's fascinating you say that too, because if you look 249 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 2: at the sixth right now, you can get them at 250 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 2: plus six fifty over on FanDuel and at Points Bet, 251 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 2: specifically in those two spots plus five fifty at MGM 252 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: and at Draftking Sports Books, so you can still get 253 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: really good numbers at Philadelphia. And we just talked about it. Hey, 254 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 2: they are three games behind Boston. If you believe that 255 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 2: they're a little bit more battle tested, then why not 256 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 2: them at the end of the day for the Eastern Conference. 257 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 2: Fascinating too, because I thought you were just probably gonna 258 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 2: roll with Boston there because that seems like the consensus. 259 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 2: But I love that you went outside the box with 260 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 2: Philly there at the plus six to fifty And you're right, 261 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 2: the playoffs are whole of their bag. You know, at 262 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 2: the end of the day, you have to have that 263 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 2: other gear inside you, just like in baseball, you got 264 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 2: to have that. You know, the team that wins one 265 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 2: hundred games in the regular season is not always the team. 266 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 2: Just to ask me, I'm a loser Mets fan that 267 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 2: goes ahead and wins the World Series. 268 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: And that's the thing. 269 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 2: You have to have the horses, and you have to 270 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 2: have the guys who have the experience level to get 271 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 2: it done in the big spots. And look, if you 272 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 2: think the seventy six ers are that right now, you're 273 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 2: getting a phenomenal number there. 274 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they are the third choice, right And 275 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: like you said, I'm getting six to one plus six 276 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: fifty in some places and don't get me wrong. I 277 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: believe Boston is a deserving favorite, Okay, but as six 278 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: to one verse plus one fifteen, I'm gonna take my 279 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: shot on Philadelphia. I do believe Philadelphia is better or 280 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: could beat Milwaukee in an Eastern Conference semi And remember, 281 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: now Gianni's got banged up in the All Star Game 282 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: and he's going to be reevaluated, right, So could it 283 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: be that when we are standing at the playoffs, it's 284 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: Philly that's the two seed. That's Philly that has home 285 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 1: court advantage in that kind of series if they were. 286 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 2: As important in your mind, is that potentially get that 287 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 2: home court advantage? And do you think the seventy six Ers, 288 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 2: being only three games out, have a shot at the one? 289 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: You know? I think again, I think Boston is a 290 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: deserving favorite. I'm not going to come on here and 291 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: start ring Jade to Boston. I just think it can 292 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: be Boston as a one. But I do think Philly 293 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: can get Milwaukee for the two. And I believe that 294 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,719 Speaker 1: Philly is the kind of team where home court advantage 295 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: does matter. If you look at the seventy six Ers 296 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: record at home over the last couple of years, it 297 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: is it is dramatically different. They are one of those 298 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: teams that do enjoy a whole court advantage. And the 299 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: last thing I'll say about Philly, and I'm gonna say 300 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: it again about teams in the West, I think Philly 301 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: is one of those teams where the NBA playoff television 302 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: schedule and how far stretched out it is benefits Embiid 303 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: and Harden and these veteran kind of teams. You know, 304 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: we know those guys have missed time here and there, 305 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: but the fact that they could play a game on 306 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: Sunday and may not have to play again until Wednesday, 307 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: you know, draping the playoffs I think helps those kinds 308 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: of teams. So in the Eastern Conference, Boston deserves all 309 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: the accolades they get. And I throw up in my 310 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: mouth a little bit saying that actual New Yorker, Right, 311 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: But if I'm going to take a shot to try 312 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: to beat them, it's gonna be with the seventy sixers. 313 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 2: And you get a good number to do it too. 314 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 2: I mean six' to, one that's a pretty good. Number 315 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 2: let's talk about The west for a second. Here let's 316 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 2: talk about The Phoenix suns at the top at plus 317 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 2: two to. 318 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: Twenty that's the. 319 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 2: Consensus The Denver nuggets at plus three hundred right around, 320 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 2: them then The clippers at plus five, hundred The grizzlies at, 321 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 2: seven and The MAVs at, eight along with The Golden 322 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 2: State warriors at. 323 00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: Not, again this is to win The. 324 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 2: West, now The clippers might be adding Potentially westbrook Who 325 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 2: so it's a fascinating potential move there for The. Clippers 326 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 2: do you think that that move is going to make 327 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 2: a difference for them to be the team that comes 328 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 2: out of The west or The suns still the team 329 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 2: to beat the Way vegas is telling, Us SO i 330 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 2: am on. 331 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: The, Clippers, Joe you are correct item on The.

Years wearing ONE, mvp he's averaging a triple. 506 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: Double so the only way the narrative Comes joe is 507 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: if they just don't want to give him three in a. Row, 508 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: Right and then it just has to be someone else's, turn, okay. 509 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:06,959 Speaker 2: Or of the seventy six ers win The east and they. 510 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: Vote before, that though they vote before they actually get 511 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: to the.

Dog i'm, say if they 515 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 2: have said like that a couple of games, out maybe 516 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 2: maybe it starts to shorten a little. Bit but minus 517 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 2: two forty that's a fair amount of. JUICE i don't 518 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 2: even know there's any value on it any. 519 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: More i'm picking up what you're putting down and, Right 520 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: so that's that's where it. Is, like, YES i do 521 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: believe it's, over but you, know these things are freaky, 522 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: sometimes and the narratives do change in that, Universe, Joe 523 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: if you look at the next three, choices, right it's 524 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: the studs of the top three teams in The Eastern, 525 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: conference It's, yannis It's, embiid and It's. Tatum IF i 526 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: don't think the narrative is good For, embiid he was 527 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: right there as a favorite With jokic from most of 528 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 1: the season last, year and then everybody started to Slurp, 529 00:23:55,280 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 1: yokic and magically it. Happened yannis also already has THE. Mvp, 530 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: Right so if you look at the number For, tatum 531 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: we're talking fifteen to one there and he if you 532 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: want to go away from the three peet For jokic 533 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: and you think about, it the narrative of the best 534 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: player on the best, Team i've told, YOU i Think 535 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: boston is the best team in THE nba all season. 536 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: Long tatum is truly having a starting last year in 537 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: the playoffs all this, year he dropped fifty five to 538 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: set a record in The All Star. Game he is 539 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: becoming that alpha dog face of the league kind of. 540 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: Guy if Not, JOKIC i Think tatum is worth a 541 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 1: sprinkle at something like sixteen or seventeen to. 542 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 2: One, yeah it's a huge number on him right.
