Speaker 1: You're tuned into Heat Check with Tristal click.
Speaker 2: Welcome to another bonus episode of the heat Check. Today
Speaker 2: we break down the Atlantic and Pacific divisions of the
Speaker 2: NBA from a gambling perspective. I do a lot of
Speaker 2: betting talk with my host Ryan Horbot and PJ Glasser
Speaker 2: on my other show BETMGM tonight, so I thought I
Speaker 2: would separate these out and put them on the feed
Speaker 2: for those interested in betting on the NBA. So let's
Speaker 2: get our bet on Nick and drop that beat. So
Speaker 2: let's preview every division in the NBA and we'll talk
Speaker 2: about these two. First. I thought you would appreciate.
Speaker 3: Hearing my own and my co host Ryan.
Speaker 2: And Pj's thoughts on how these two very interesting divisions
Speaker 2: will shake out. Let's get into it.
Speaker 3: What are you guys doing when we look at the
Speaker 3: Atlantic division this year? As far as the futures market, now.
Speaker 1: I mean ridiculous division obviously, Celtics plus one twenty five
Speaker 1: Nets plus two thirty six Ers plus two to seventy
Speaker 1: five Raptors ten to one, Nick sixty six to one.
Speaker 3: We can all agree. Knicks, bye bye, throw them out
Speaker 3: the windows.
Speaker 2: Doing that. No, please, don't do that I like the
Speaker 2: Raptors too, just because of how they play. They're gonna
Speaker 2: be defensively very tough. We know what Nick Nurse wants
Speaker 2: to do. We've talked about that on this show before.
Speaker 2: He wants guys that are between six to seven and six'
Speaker 2: nine who can not only set screens and be the,
Speaker 2: roller but get screens set for them and then be
Speaker 2: the ball handler same guy to do both. ROLES i
Speaker 2: want guys to be able to bring the ball up and,
Speaker 2: transition go, up shoot a, three or get into transition
Speaker 2: and go to the, rack kick, out be able to
Speaker 2: do literally all the things that a guard can, do
Speaker 2: and all the things that a wing can, do and
Speaker 2: all the things that a big can. Do when you
Speaker 2: have seven eight guys that can literally hold the, ball
Speaker 2: handle the, ball get, out, transition, shoot, pass set, screens,
Speaker 2: roll and then end up being the ball handler for
Speaker 2: those that's a, dangerous dangerous. Team it's gonna match up
Speaker 2: in a really interesting. Way and, yes The sixers beat The,
Speaker 2: raptors but it was dicey at one point in time
Speaker 2: during that, playoffs and, Yeah embiid was, hurt but, listen
Speaker 2: they finally have a Big now they Have Christian. COLOCO
Speaker 2: i like that play at ten to. ONE i think.
Speaker 3: TOO i really Like Nick nurse yep.
Speaker 2: AND i think if og And andobi And i've been
Speaker 2: very high on him in this. Offseason if he can
Speaker 2: become a guy who averages twenty five points per game
Speaker 2: and he can shoot the mess out the ball like
Speaker 2: he can shoot fifty forty forty five percent from, THREE
Speaker 2: i bet like he's just one of those. Guys what
Speaker 2: did he go four for four from three the other?
Speaker 2: Night so if he can take a step and you
Speaker 2: can Get Gary Trent junior, out and they've got enough
Speaker 2: pieces Of Scottie barnes of, course if he can take
Speaker 2: another jump and he was really, amazing they have enough
Speaker 2: pieces that they could trade for someone as.
Speaker 3: Well, YEAH i like, them But i'm all About philadelphia this.
Speaker 3: Year this version Of harden looks pretty.
Speaker 2: Good.
Speaker 3: Max he's only going to continue to get. BETTER i
Speaker 3: think as long As embiid stays in shape and, motivated
Speaker 3: he should be pissed off he didn't get THE mvp last.
Speaker 3: YEAR i, mean, right let's be, honest like it was
Speaker 3: Between embiid And jokic last. Year BUT i just think
Speaker 3: it's because There's yanni's. FATIGUE i Think giannis is THE
Speaker 3: mvp of the league every single year BECAUSE i Love,
Speaker 3: Embiid but Is embiid gonna go out there seventy plus
Speaker 3: games and give you max effort on both sides of
Speaker 3: the ball every. Night, NO i love, You.
Speaker 2: He's gonna give you max effort every single. Game but
Speaker 2: he's not very.
Speaker 3: Healthy and also Like giannis is a. Freak giannis is
Speaker 3: in better shape every single. Year LIKE i Think.
Speaker 2: Embiid Likes oreos and you, Know Shirley temples and everything, else.
Speaker 3: And he loved my. BODY i love my. Body, yeah and,
Speaker 3: MAN i Mean. YANNIS i heard people talk about maybe
Speaker 3: Some janis unders in the beginning of the. YEAR i
Speaker 3: advise against that because No Chris middleton to start the
Speaker 3: season AND i know you're gonna. Laugh and No Pat.
Speaker 2: CONTENT i Think Pat content is actually really.
Speaker 3: Big that's a big. Loss there's a reason why they
Speaker 3: keep giving this guy money to come, back and there's
Speaker 3: a reason why they didn't commit to Dot He evincenzo
Speaker 3: BECAUSE i, MEAN i really Like dante in the draft
Speaker 3: AND i thought he would have been a solid. Efit but,
Speaker 3: YEAH i do think the seventy six ers are a
Speaker 3: good play at plus two to seventy. FIVE i would
Speaker 3: love to do it with The. Nets last YEAR i
Speaker 3: picked them to win the. FINALS i just don't trust
Speaker 3: all of those guys to show up to work every single.
Speaker 3: Day and Then, BOSTON i, MEAN i just don't like
Speaker 3: the price plus one twenty. Five are they the rightful? Favorites?
Speaker 3: Yeah after last regular season and the way That Jason
Speaker 3: tatum looks right, now there's so much. Parody every team
Speaker 3: pretty much has two. SUPERSTARS i think it really does
Speaker 3: come down to, Coaching like If Mike budenholzer was a
Speaker 3: little bit better a couple of years. AGO i think
Speaker 3: The bucks beat The raptors in The Eastern conference, finals
Speaker 3: but instead that lunatic kept Rolling Nko meritch out there
Speaker 3: and shoot him out of the playoffs and then finally
Speaker 3: he gets the THE npcd Like game. Six, yeah SO
Speaker 3: i do think coaching is more. Important although, Man i'm
Speaker 3: making the case For philadelphia off. COACHING i don't know
Speaker 3: IF i could. DO i don't know if you. Can, So,
Speaker 3: YEAH i guess that the value play is The. Raptors
Speaker 3: they have the best coach and it's not even close
Speaker 3: in that.
Speaker 2: Division, YEAH i hear, you, Man, NO i Think tibbs
Speaker 2: is good for a team that is is like trying
Speaker 2: to get over the. Hump they need someone to instill
Speaker 2: level of. Discipline some veterans Have some veterans, like he's
Speaker 2: really good in the, beginning like probably the first year
Speaker 2: really and then after that guys tune him.
Speaker 3: Out so looking at the, specials you look at the
Speaker 3: futures market right now for The. Pacific right, now The
Speaker 3: pacific is one of the more interesting divisions because you
Speaker 3: have The warriors plus one seventy. FIVE i don't know
Speaker 3: if you guys know, this they're the defending. CHAMPIONS i
Speaker 3: did not have The. Clippers you Got Kawhi Leonard he's
Speaker 3: gonna play basketball this, year which is always. Good you
Speaker 3: Got Paul george their plus two. Hundred you got The,
Speaker 3: sons who for some reason nobody's talking. About Monty williams
Speaker 3: might not Like DeAndre, ayton But aton's back anyway him. Either,
Speaker 3: Yeah Chris paul's. Back Devin booker is AN mvp. Candidate,
Speaker 3: well The lakers are eight to. One we Know tris
Speaker 3: is taking.
Speaker 1: That oh, YEAH.
Speaker 2: I was thinking about doing a whole diet tribe about
Speaker 2: how The lakers are worth eight to, one but, you,
Speaker 2: guys nobody would have believed.
Speaker 3: That then you got The kings two fifty to. One
Speaker 3: there's your value, pick all? Right so what are we
Speaker 3: doing in The? Pacific real?
Speaker 1: QUICK i just want to, know Trist so what would
Speaker 1: the number have to be for you to take The
Speaker 1: lakers to win The?
Speaker 3: Pacific there would be no.
Speaker 1: Number, really at one hundred to, one you wouldn't take The.
Speaker 3: LAKERS i am so CONFIDENT i. Wouldn't that's.
Speaker 1: UNBELIEVABLE i absolutely would one hundred to. One this is
Speaker 1: a tough division, though to handicap. GUYS i, mean, well
Speaker 1: in terms of the, top, RIGHT i mean it probably
Speaker 1: is The, warriors The CLIPPERS i kind of like long,
Speaker 1: term but obviously load management's the problem with, them and
Speaker 1: Quib Paul george The. WARRIORS i, mean, yeah it's probably
Speaker 1: The warriors plus one seventy.
Speaker 3: FIVE i hate this. Division, yeah me. Too you could
Speaker 3: make a.
Speaker 2: Case you could make a case for The clippers because
Speaker 2: this they are very easily top three, deepest if not
Speaker 2: the deepest team in all of THE. Nba right if.
Speaker 3: You look at, them who is going to be.
Speaker 2: Able to sustain? Injuries not only, injuries but, also you,
Speaker 2: know just load. Management you look at the. Roster, okay
Speaker 2: you've Got Luke. Canard he's not gonna get a lot
Speaker 2: of playing, time but one injury or load management and
Speaker 2: he's right there and we know he can do. It,
Speaker 2: Yeah Norm powell is going to be coming off the.
Speaker 3: Bench he's a.
Speaker 2: Champion he was the starting two guard for The Portland.
Speaker 2: Trailblazers he's real. Deal John wall might not start and
Speaker 2: he's looking like he's back to being The John wall
Speaker 2: that we. Saw you've Got, zubac who's you, know not
Speaker 2: like the best, center but very. Serviceable Terrence man who
Speaker 2: we haven't, Mentioned Robert, Covington Marcus, Morris Brandon. BOSTON i
Speaker 2: talked To Jerry west About Brandon boston and he said
Speaker 2: he would get significant minutes on like half of the
Speaker 2: rosters around THE. Nba we just don't have room for.
Speaker 2: Him and he's a very good young. Player but say
Speaker 2: someone was to get injured all of a.
Speaker 3: Sudden he can do.
Speaker 2: Things you've Got Nick, batoomb who's one of the, best
Speaker 2: like more versatile players in the.
Speaker 3: League who can.
Speaker 2: Defend he can literally just be white on rights like you,
Speaker 2: like just literally But tom is white and you Are.
Speaker 3: Rice that's how we do the last nine. Years he's
Speaker 3: such a good.
Speaker 2: Defender so you just look at this roster and you, say,
Speaker 2: man even outside Of, kawhi even outside Of Paul george
Speaker 2: And Reggie, jackson like this team one through, Fifteen Moses
Speaker 2: brown a small coffee aka a mirror, coffee like they've got.
Speaker 3: Dudes this is WHERE i wish and, LIKE i can't
Speaker 3: wait to watch The kings this, year but this is
Speaker 3: WHERE i wish that The kings were a little deeper
Speaker 3: and like a little bit more experience and, had let's be,
Speaker 3: honest like more, talent because this would be a division
Speaker 3: where you could look at a long shop just because The,
Speaker 3: Warriors clippers' sons even all the, same and even The
Speaker 3: lakers are. Old, yeah but the three teams above that
Speaker 3: are veteran teams that really don't have to go out
Speaker 3: and win sixty five. Games those young teams Like memphis
Speaker 3: last year where nobody saw that. Coming AND i Know
Speaker 3: phoenix was still the number one, seed but, STILL i,
Speaker 3: mean Like, memphis like The bulls a couple of years
Speaker 3: ago When Derek rose And TIBs like a young team like,
Speaker 3: THAT i wish that there was a team that you
Speaker 3: could take a shot, with BUT i just, Imber, YEAH
Speaker 3: i think The kings would be a playing.
Speaker 2: TEAM i think they're like a ten cy and you're
Speaker 2: talking to a card Carrying Sacramento king fan LIKE i
Speaker 2: like The. KINGS i am in bed with The, kings,
Speaker 2: right we got fan base AND i we're in the trenches,
Speaker 2: together and they they know they're not winning The Pacific.
Speaker 2: Division they know that that's not even close to the.
