So before we get to the 109 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: exclusive interview with Raheem, I'm gonna give you one NBA 110 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: pick four the weekend. I don't like it. I love it. Baby, 111 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: we're talking McDonald's. Give me all of Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, 112 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: Adam Sandler, every big New York Knicks, Johnny McEnroe energy 113 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: in the Madison Square building. Baby, I am rocking with 114 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: the New York Knicks on the money line because it's 115 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: a virtual pick them minus one sixteen on FanDuel versus 116 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: minus one oh two for the Hawks. I don't know 117 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: how we can't take the New York Knicks for nineteen 118 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: hundred different reasons. And a Raheem will tell you what 119 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: a zigzag theory is, and that kind of a series 120 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: is exactly what this is. Because if you're looking at 121 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: the series price for this match, it's a coin flip. Baby, 122 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: it's a George Washington or Retails. Nicks at minus one 123 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: oh five, Hawks at minus one fifteen. They're both at 124 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: about implied odds of just over fifty two percent to 125 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: win the series. But one of these squads, and it's 126 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: the New York Knicks, has home courts. And for the 127 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: first time since two thousand and thirteen you already know, 128 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: back when we weren't talking on Zoom all day every day, Baby, 129 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: the New York Knicks are back in the playoffs. I 130 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: believe they're putting in over twelve thousand screaming fans into 131 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: the garden on Sunday. The game is Sunday, four o'clock Eastern. 132 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 1: Nothing better than a Broadway Sunday matinee and Manhattan. Baby, 133 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: it's the four seed verse the five seed. Let's dive 134 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: in head first. Let's get it. Here's all of the 135 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: reasons why I love the Knicks. They so wept the 136 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 1: season series against Hot Atlanta, the three wins, zero losses, 137 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: and they are led by Julius most improved player in 138 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: the league Randall. He had in the three games against 139 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: these Hawks forty points not once, two times twins basil 140 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: twins against them, and to twenty eight and seventeen they 141 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: beat the Hawks to wife spy double digits once by five. 142 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: And if you're talking Tommy Tibbs the Penguin defense, this 143 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: is a top two defense. I know the Lakers ended 144 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: with the number one overall defense, but if we're talking 145 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: all around d the number one squad in my opinion 146 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 1: and analytically, there are top two. I have to say 147 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: the Knicks have the best defense in the league. This 148 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: is your best defense in the league. Do we need 149 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: to get NFL with it? Dfense wins championships? We're talking 150 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: about Trey Young, Lou Williams and keep it going down 151 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: the line for Atlanta. As a liability on defense, name 152 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: me a guy on the Knicks who you don't feel 153 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: great about playing locked in, locked up defense in this game. 154 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: And from a betting trend, stamppoint the Knicks twenty two 155 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 1: thirteen and one against the spread in thirty six home 156 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: games this season. That is a well well over wins 157 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: to losses in that category in the Hawks sixteen nineteen 158 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: and one against the spread in thirty six away games 159 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: this season. So me personally, I look at that. I 160 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: take it. I couple it with the fact that the 161 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: Knicks went three and ozh in this series, and Randall, 162 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: the leader of men, has average thirty seven twelve and 163 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: just under seventh Danny dimes in the whole three sample size. 164 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: We got Cosco win it against this Hawks team. You're 165 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: giving us a better defense, You're giving us the home court. 166 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: The garden in the playoffs is electric. If you are 167 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: over twenty five years old, you remember back to the nineties. 168 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: This arena is built differently. It's not only the first 169 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: playoff game for them since twenty thirteen, it's the first 170 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: playoff home game that they're hosting since twenty thirteen. They 171 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: also went on a winning three of their last four 172 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: games down the stretch to secure the four seat. Come on, baby, 173 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: we beat the Hawks. We're talking Knicks over the Hawks 174 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: on an average of eight point seven points in the season. 175 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: Give me a reason why you like the Hawks. I 176 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: don't have one. Yeah, they're gonna win a couple games 177 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: in this series. I like the Knicks in the series 178 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: of minus one oh five wall, we're at it. I 179 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: like the Knicks. On a Sunday Mattinee, We're gonna have 180 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: Spike lead going absolutely ballistic on the sideline. Everybody's gonna 181 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: be going nuts. We have a real home court advantage 182 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: here for the first time in New York in years. 183 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: If you think they're blowing Game one, you're rather your 184 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: Tensil town mind. Jerry, give me the Knicks over the Hawks. 185 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: It is my luck of the day, lock of the weekend. 186 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: And yes, we gotta be patient with it. Batti a 187 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: sense a wait all the way to Sunday for it. 188 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: But it's worth it because the Garden's gonna be going 189 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: all in and Randall and bear it. I know they 190 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 1: haven't been in a playoff series, but neither has Collins, 191 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: Trey Young Hunter. This is new guys versus new guys. 192 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: Go look up Nate McMillan's record in the playoffs. It 193 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: isn't barress scene. He has underperformed in the playoffs year 194 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: after year after year. It's why the Pacers had the 195 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: swipe left on him. And I gotta go led by 196 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: the best player on the court. Yeah, I said it, 197 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: Julius Randall on the season twenty four, ten and six. 198 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: This guy's putting up almost MVP numbers.

He's a dj A producer, 286 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: but most importantly for this conversation, here's a writer for 287 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: the Action Network. We got NBA playoffs, fresh off a 288 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: Lebron game winner. How are we doing, baby, We're doing good. 289 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: I mean last night we had the under in the 290 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: Lakers game. You know that was a pretty easy cash. 291 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: We took it at two twenty two, it closed at 292 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: two seventeen, and we got there. We eat. So when 293 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: you're looking at to worry about the side, yeah, when 294 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: you're looking it over unders. Just just we'll go right 295 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: into the education here before we start talking a little 296 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: series and who you like in the playoffs. East and West. 297 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: Closing line value is a thing that a lot of 298 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: people miss and you just kind of briefly spoke on it. 299 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: It opened it to twenty point five, closed to two seventeen. 300 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: So just for our listeners, explain the value of jumping 301 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 1: on a line early and what action does so well? 302 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: And you're a writer there, and do you ever write 303 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: about closing line value? Oh yeah, all the time. I think. 304 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: My biggest thing is I have a model. So I 305 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: have a model that actually spits out a number, and 306 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: when it spits out a number, the bigger the difference 307 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: between the descriptions, the discrepancy between the market and my model, 308 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: the more I bet. So for that Lakers game, I 309 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: think it open to twenty two. My model had a 310 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: two seventeen. So I'm all over it. And the thing 311 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: the thing with totals that you have to understand is 312 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: that it's mostly sharp money on totals because the general 313 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,239 Speaker 1: public isn't, you know, mostly playing totals like that. So 314 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: as soon as the market opens at eight am Eastern time, 315 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: seven am am, well, you know, for the playoffs, it 316 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: might be the day before you want to jump on 317 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: that total, especially if you like an under or if you, 318 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: because it's just ain't not be there. Like if you 319 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: look at fits this yesterday's grizzly game, that total got 320 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: pounted down from two twenty five to about two twenty 321 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: So you gotta, you really have to jump on these 322 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: totals as soon as the market opens. And then you know, 323 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: sometimes the public creates inefficiencies in the playoffs. It's it's 324 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: almost like the NFL. The NFL is the one sport 325 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 1: where the public has they'll say, But in the NBA playoffs, 326 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: you start to see the public is betting more and more, 327 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: so you'll see those inefficiencies from time to time. So 328 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: you can wait sometimes so you don't have to go 329 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: too much into the model. It's your good burger secret 330 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: sauce over there. But what when you're like a man 331 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: like me versus a model. It will a man ever 332 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: beat a model in the world of gambling. It can 333 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: I think, like, have you did you? Did you dance 334 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: as a solo guy before? Not do as well? Now 335 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: you have a model. Because I'm an emotional gambler and 336 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: I'm still batting over you. I'm batting about fifty seven 337 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: percent three hundred fifty plus bets in on action across 338 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: seven sports. So I'm doing all right, But like, that's 339 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: not lives, that's not chasing, that's all both four games happened. 340 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 1: If I was doing lives. I mean, you know, we're 341 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: visiting the counter more than we like for the l's 342 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: not the wins. But yeah, on the model side, just 343 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: real quick, because I find that fascinating when guys have them. 344 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: Is it your personal one? And then also like did 345 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: you do a lot better now? Have you done a 346 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: lot better now than you have previous? Here's the thing, 347 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: there's a there's a quote by famous statistician. It says 348 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: all models are wrong, but some are useful. So for me, 349 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: the model is just a tool. It's just another tool 350 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: in my tool box. Like I don't know if you're 351 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,959 Speaker 1: a big boxing fan, but for Mayweather could come in 352 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: there and he could fight with the Philly shell, he 353 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: could fight with the high guard. So I just have 354 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: another tool that allows me to understand where the numbers 355 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: should be. So I give an example a couple of 356 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: years ago, actee, I say, twenty and thirteen. I don't 357 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: know if you remember this game. There's an NFL The 358 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: Packers played the Bears on Week seventeen and the winner 359 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: would win the NFC North. Yes, I had four thousand 360 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: dollars on the greef A Packers minus three and a half, 361 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: and it came down to the final player. I don't 362 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: even remember. A Rider student passed to James Jones and 363 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: they cover. But I'm watching the game and I'm like, 364 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: I'm doing it all wrong. I laid three and a 365 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: half in a row in a Division game. I need 366 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: to know where the number should be. I need to 367 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: have some type of quantitative thing because I can watch 368 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 1: a game. And here's the thing about the models. When 369 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 1: you're using system stats. The model is always on. It 370 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: sees everything. So I have a multiple TV setup and 371 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: I'm watching all these games, but I'm not gonna see everything. 372 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: The model sees everything. So I combine my handicapping with 373 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: my model, and that combines everything. It's like a girlfriend, Dude, 374 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: you can't get anything by the model. It sees all dude. 375 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 1: That's awesome. Man. All right, well let's get into some 376 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: NBA talk. Obviously, yesterday Memphis takes San Antonio. This will 377 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 1: be aired on Friday, and so a couple of days back, 378 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: Lebron finds a way to win over GSW, and we 379 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: got a couple of playing games that will be aired 380 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: already before this does. So let's get into some futures. 381 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: Here are some series, do I dare? I'm looking at 382 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: a couple series here. I want to start with Lakers' Sons. 383 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: I'm kind of perplexed that the Lakers are only on 384 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: fan duel minus one sixty two to win the series. 385 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 1: Sons are plus one thirty two. Are you a are 386 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: you a series better? And b are you shocked at 387 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: this Sun's Lakers opening series line? I'm not sorry. I mean, 388 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: ste this is not even the opener. William Hill open 389 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 1: last night at minus three hundred, So how is fanned? 390 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 1: So how is fanned? I saw that too, and that's 391 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: why I was. I was perplexed to see this because 392 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, I saw the Sons of plus two 393 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: forty two or something last night. I'm like, what I mean. 394 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. The Sons have been one of the 395 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: best teams all year long. So I mean there's a 396 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: lot of I know a lot of professionals who have 397 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 1: futures on the Suns. You know, they've been a top 398 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: five offense in the top five defense, but lately this 399 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 1: team has been slipping. I mean, over the second half 400 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: of a year, they're just twenty first and defensive rating. 401 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: Over the last two weeks they're twenty fifth and defensive 402 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,120 Speaker 1: rating with a defensive rating of one nineteen. So this 403 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: team can't stop anybody. So I actually may find myself 404 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: when the Lakers. I think the biggest thing is that, 405 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,959 Speaker 1: you know, Lebron starts off these series slow, so they 406 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: can realistically lose game one and then they win game two. 407 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: I mean, going into game two, you could find yourself 408 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: in a situation to where you can get the Lakers 409 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: at post close to even money. So that's enough show 410 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: will you? So when you're looking at a series best 411 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: to seven, raheem? Will you? Will you wait patiently? Like 412 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: do you have a strategy? Maybe not the model per se, 413 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: but do you have a strategy when it comes to Okay, 414 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: you have it in your head the Lakers are going 415 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: to oust the Suns. But just like you alluded to, 416 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: Lebron starts slow. Will you actually bet the Sun's Game 417 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,959 Speaker 1: one knowing that the Lakers may come out in the seventh. 418 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: I've done that before. Like, um, I think the Denver 419 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: Nuggets played the San Antonio Spurs in twenty nineteen. I 420 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: took the Spurs to win outright in Game one, and 421 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 1: then I came back and took the Nuggets for the series. 422 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: I got a better price. Now. I don't know if 423 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: I want to do that here in this specific scenario. 424 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: I'm still, you know, quarantin my numbers. But I do 425 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 1: like the I like the Lakers to win this series. 426 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: I just I just think that the Sun's defense has 427 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 1: slipped so much. There are a young team, no one 428 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: else but Chris Paul really and Jay Crowder really has 429 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 1: playoff experience on his team, and I think that I 430 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: think that the Lakers can really cause problems for Devin Booker. 431 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: I think that the Lakers are too big inside. So 432 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: I'm up being on the Lakers. All right. Well, let's 433 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: jump to the championship odds here nets plus two ten 434 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: Lakers plus four sixty Clippers interestingly enough, I don't say 435 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: interestingly enough, but plus six hundred to me, I feel 436 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: like if there is a dark horse, it could be 437 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: the clip show out of anyone in the Easter West 438 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 1: getting to the dance and taking the ship. What say 439 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: you on the NBA Championship futures? Are you sticking the 440 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: Lakers nets? That's what I had the exact championship. What 441 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: is your inkling here? Right before we get into the 442 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 1: NBA playoff weekend. So I'm glad you asked me this 443 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: question because I actually took the Clippers at plus seven 444 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: hundred back in February. I love the Clippers this year. 445 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,479 Speaker 1: Like a lot of people were high on the Clippers 446 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: last year, I wasn't. I'm not a big fan of 447 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: Doc Rivers. I'm from Philadelphia, but I'm not a big 448 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: fan of him at all. I think Tyl Low was 449 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: a huge upgrade over him. You gotta understand this team 450 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: is first in three point field goal percentage. They're shooting 451 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: forty one percent from three. They have a top five offense, 452 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: top five defense. They can get you know they can. 453 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: They can make tough shots because Kawhi Leonard and Paul 454 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: George are two of the top mid range shooters in 455 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 1: the game this year. And like with Doc Rivers, they 456 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: passed the ball more. They got four different wings. They 457 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 1: got Kawa, Paul George, Marcus Morris, they got Nipton, and 458 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: Terence Mann has become a thing. So they can they 459 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: can cause problems on both ends of the floor, and 460 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 1: I think more importantly, unlike last year, they got rid 461 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: of the two biggest defensive deficiencies as Montres Harrow and 462 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: lou Williams. I didn't like them last year because of 463 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: those two, because with those two on the floor, they 464 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: can't guard anybody despite having quote quality in Paul George. 465 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: So I think you get rid of those two, you 466 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: get a better quote, you move the ball more. They're 467 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: they're live to win the championship, and they're gonna be 468 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: a favorite against any other team besides the Lakers. And 469 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: that's a pickum series. And how do you feel if 470 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: the Lakers dance against the Clippers? Obviously they allegedly threw 471 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: those games to set them up so they don't see 472 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: them till the Western Conference Final, which was interesting. But 473 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: if it does end up being those two dance in 474 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: seven games, potentially at the Staples Center, how you feeling 475 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: about that? You're just gonna stick to like as this, 476 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: I guess I throw it more widespread on this question. 477 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: If you have a futures like the clip show at 478 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: plus seven hundred, will you will you hedge to some 479 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: degree if you're watching what your eyes are seeing or 480 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: are you a guy that sticks to your futures. Bet Actually, 481 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: I mean this this scenario, I actually have futures on 482 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: the Lakers as well. I took the Lakers plus five 483 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: fifty about a week and a half ago because I 484 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: knew that the price wouldn't get better than that. So 485 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: in my eyes, I have the two best teams in 486 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: the conference getting plus money to make the NBA Finals. 487 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: Now me, I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm a 488 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: little bit aggressive, like if I have something, I might 489 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: add more. Now I'm fortunate in this. I'm fortunate. I'm 490 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: fortunate in this situation that have futures on both teams. 491 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: Who I believe I'm gonna make the Western Conference Finals. 492 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: But you know, one of my biggest bets of my 493 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: life was the twenty nineteen Eastern Conference Finals between the 494 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: Toronto Raptors and the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks went up 495 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: too well, and I started betting the ship out of 496 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: out of the Toronto Raptors. Like I took the Raptors 497 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: plus six hundred to win to win the Eastern Conference Finals, 498 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: I bet I'm Game three. Then I came back and 499 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: bet I'm plus four hundred to win the Eastern Conference finals. 500 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: Then I bet I'm gaining four, game five, game six, 501 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: all money lines and spreads. So it's like when I 502 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: like something, I'm gonna I'm gonna pretty much open up. 503 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: So where are you on the live betting, because that's 504 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: to me. You know, you can cap a game, getting 505 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: back to know games to get game to game here 506 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: to me, Like I thought, like the Spurs getting creamed 507 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: in the first quarter, you could annaw them in the 508 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: first half. The other night plus sixteen and a half 509 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: in the first half against the Grizzlies. We all know 510 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: the basketball NBA is a game of runs. Do you 511 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: have any method to your madness with live betting? And 512 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,959 Speaker 1: do you live bet at all? I do live bet um. 513 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: Actually I think I just got I got limited at 514 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: one of my accounts because I was live betting so much. 515 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: I think one of the things that I don't think 516 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: they've necessarily fixed a lot of the inefficiencies. Like you 517 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: said the Spurs, you could have got them plus sixteen 518 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: in the first half and you knew they were gonna 519 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: come back. Like the Grizzlies are a team who's been 520 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: known for coughing up leads. They caught up a fourteen 521 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: point lead to the Nuggets without Jamal Murray a couple 522 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, and with four minutes left and the 523 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: fourth they lost, they lost. They were up two against 524 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: the Mavericks with the ball shooting free throws and lost 525 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: in regulation to the Marriacks. So I mean the swings 526 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: of these NBA games, especially now with the three point shot. 527 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: You know a team will get up fifteen twenty points, 528 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: start jacking some threes, and next thing you know, it's 529 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: a ten five point games. So I always recommend live betting, 530 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: and then even for a game like tonight's game, for instance, 531 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: the Wizards and the Pacers, at some point the Pacers 532 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: may be up in this game and you could get 533 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: the Wizards at a better price. Like I just think 534 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: there's very few games to where NBA teams are winning 535 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: wire to wire, so you have to have love betting 536 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: in your arsenal and from an over under perspective. Raheem 537 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: the writer for the Action Network DJ producer on with 538 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: me here Alex Monico Sports game with money Line Monica, 539 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: do you feel like the totals do you lean under 540 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: in playoff games? Like I'd a feeling. I mean, the 541 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: only under I've really seen outside of last night that 542 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: I felt comfortable with was Memphis first? Are we passed 543 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: the era of you know, I don't want to date 544 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: to you. I'm a nineties baby. I remember when the 545 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: heat and the Knicks will go ninety two eighty eight, 546 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: There'd be five bloody noses and they wouldn't even sniff 547 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: two hundred together. Do you feel like in today's NBA 548 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: or this playoffs particularly, are you an under sky more 549 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 1: or you an over sky just based off style of play? 550 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: Do you have any just nuggets for us out there 551 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: listening to get better on the over under since you 552 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: nail one last night? Oh yeah, I'm definitely an under gud. 553 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: I mean, when you look at the last three seasons, 554 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: playoff unders are one thirty two, one, twelve, and four. 555 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: That's fifty four point one percent. Now, obviously you need 556 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: your break even rate on one ten bets is fifty 557 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: two point three eight percent, So you can't blindly bet 558 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: all these. But if you blindly bet all these for 559 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: the last three years, you're profitable. Now, you take a 560 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: guy like Lebron James for instance, he slows down the 561 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: pace like there's very few games where Lebron is gonna, 562 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: you know, be up and down the court in a 563 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: playoff series, So I think you have to take that 564 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: into account. And you know, teams are playing harder defense, 565 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: especially as it goes as we go late into the series. 566 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: When you know all these teams have made their adjustments, 567 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: they played, you know each other enough, they know each other, 568 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: they're tired. That's when the understart coming in, especially Game seven. Absolutely, 569 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,719 Speaker 1: in the NFL, we love to talk about quarterback verse quarterbacks, 570 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: even tho they're not on the field. At the same time, 571 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: we love to talk about coaches verse coaches. Where are 572 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: you on head coaches and strategy? Like for me, I 573 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: looked at Scotty Brooks the other night going against the Celtics. 574 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, Brad Stevens is thirty seven and 575 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 1: thirty six in the playoffs all the time. Scotty Brooks 576 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: is twelve and twenty two. He had three Hall of Famers. 577 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: He literally bossed it. I feel like, the guy can't 578 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 1: coach in the playoffs. I got all egotistical about it. 579 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 1: I looked great taking the Celtics in a pick him. 580 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: Do you have any method to your madness when it 581 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 1: comes to coaches and strategy. I know you just said 582 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,879 Speaker 1: Doc Rivers, wasn't your guy? You like the Clippers more 583 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: now because it's y Lou in these series. I mean, 584 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,240 Speaker 1: the NBA playoffs is a marathon. Is there a coach 585 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 1: this year or in general coaching coaches verse coaches. Do 586 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,399 Speaker 1: you ever look at that in terms of strategy when 587 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: you're making your series picks or game to game, Oh, 588 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,320 Speaker 1: without it, doubt And I think the series that jumps 589 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 1: out to everybody, or it should jump out to everybody, 590 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: is the Miami Heat versus the Milwaukee Bucks. You know, 591 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: Hozer he's owned for you know, really he's not really 592 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: playing his optimal lineups. So last year, the last couple 593 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: the Bucks, in the last couple of years, they were 594 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: a very deep team. So you see Yanna's only playing 595 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: like thirty five minutes in the playoff game, and you're like, 596 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: what the hell is going on? And they're playing like 597 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 1: Deevan Shenzo and all these guys who probably shouldn't be 598 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: playing with the starters, and so I'm I have my 599 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 1: eye on that. And then Ari Sposuer is like one 600 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: of the best coaches in the league. You know, Lebrin 601 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: gave him a hard time with the Big three, But 602 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: the best decision that Pat Rowley did was keeping him 603 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: on board because he can make adjustments. I like the 604 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:43,320 Speaker 1: Bucks in this series, but I think booden Holder is 605 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit better than he was in 606 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 1: years past because he's this team's not as deep as 607 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: they were before, so I think he's gonna be forced 608 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: to play some of those optimal lineups. And then I 609 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,439 Speaker 1: think the biggest problem with the Bucks is they're really 610 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: just They've been struggling with guarding at three, and I 611 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: think they've been trying to work that out all year. 612 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: But that's a match up I have my eye one like, 613 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: if I see that Booto Holser isn't making the correct moves, 614 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 1: I may find myself switching back to the Heat. And 615 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: will you tread a little more lightly when it's a 616 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: Nate McMillan going in with the Hawks and you know 617 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: the Trey Youngs, the DeAndre Hunters, guys that haven't even 618 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: been to the playoffs or even in that same series. 619 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: On the other side, Tommy Tipps, of course, he's got 620 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: DJ Gibson and d Rose with him, but Julius Randall, RJ. 621 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: Barry guys I haven't made the playoffs yet in their career. 622 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: When you're looking at a series like that, and I 623 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 1: do want to talk east here before I'll let you 624 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: go Nick s Amius one oh five, Hawks Amius one 625 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 1: fifteen in the series. So in a dance like that 626 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: in the first round where there's so many new guys 627 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: and new coaches for those squads first time in the playoffs, 628 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: that is, how do you look at that strategy and 629 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: does your model ever speak on that kind of intangibles? 630 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,799 Speaker 1: You know, one of the biggest angles to bet in 631 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: the NBA playoffs for years has been the exact theory. 632 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 1: This is the perfect series for that, because give me 633 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 1: this Zixact theory, give us this Zixact theory. So the 634 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: zig zact theory is, let's just say the Knicks win 635 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 1: Game one, you come back and take the Hawks the 636 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,399 Speaker 1: next game, and so on and so on. So it's 637 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: just like, I mean, you look at these two teams. 638 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 1: They both have coaches who struggled in the playoffs, Like 639 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 1: Nate McMillan is an abysmal seventeen and thirty six in 640 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: the playoffs. He's just won one of his nine series. 641 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: And then in his last thirteen games, he's just one 642 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: and twelve. Now, I like this Hawks team. I think 643 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 1: they're really really solid, But like you said, all of 644 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,479 Speaker 1: them are young, Trey Young, John Collins, Bogdanovich, DeAndre Hunter, 645 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: Cam Bretish. They're twenty two, twenty three, twenty eight, twenty three, 646 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: and twenty one, and none of them have the playoff experience. 647 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 1: The guys on that team who are playoffs experience are 648 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: bench guys other than Click Cappella, so Lou Williams, Danilo Gallinardi. 649 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: You look at the Knicks, Tom Thibodo, his teams, they 650 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: play so intense and so hard during the regular season 651 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 1: that when they go to the playoffs they can't really 652 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 1: rise for another level. They play at the same level. 653 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: So I think this is a series in which I 654 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 1: actually like it to go seven games. I think they 655 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 1: have seven games at plus two hundred. You could take that, 656 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: or what you could do is you could take the 657 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,399 Speaker 1: Knicks to win in seven in the Hawks to winning 658 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: seven at plus four sixty, and you can basically get 659 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: that at like plus three sixty or so. Oh, I 660 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: love it all right. Eastern Conference. You said you're from Philly. 661 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 1: I'm looking at it obviously we got the Nets. Is 662 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: the favorite plus one oh five, Sixers right there at 663 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 1: plus two seventy, Bucks third in the race at plus 664 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 1: three fifty, and then it gets scary in terms of 665 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 1: heat plus thirteen hundred and beyond, it really looks like 666 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,760 Speaker 1: a three horse race in the East. Is their value 667 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: to you in the Sixers plus two seventy? I know 668 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: you said you don't love Doc, I mean, are you 669 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: liking what he's doing this year? And then we talked 670 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 1: a little bit about Budenhozer in the and the Bucks. 671 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 1: Do you see if you're out there saying yourself, the 672 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: Nets aren't just all the way there. They've had so 673 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,839 Speaker 1: many so a few games with their big three. Of course, Blake, 674 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 1: if it's still in the next day, I haven't even 675 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: all played together. Is their value? And are you even 676 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,240 Speaker 1: marinating and flirting with anyone to win the East Outside 677 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: of the Net there's value for one reason. I'm big 678 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: on the cumulative impact of previous series. So the Bucks 679 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: right now they're gonna have to face the Miami Heat, 680 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: probably the Brooklyn Nets in the second round, and then 681 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 1: the Sixers, so that automatically takes them out. Now, if 682 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: you look at the two sixteen Western Conference playoff picture 683 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 1: the Oklahoma City Thunder. They beat a sixty seven wins 684 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: Furs team and then had to play the seventy three 685 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 1: and nine Warriors just to get to the finals. That's 686 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 1: a hard role, like a lot of teams just don't 687 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 1: do that. So I always look at the fact that 688 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 1: if the Golden State Warriors didn't have to play the 689 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: Thunder and go into a seven game series, they've probably 690 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 1: beat the Cavaliers that year. So that cumulative impact really 691 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,839 Speaker 1: means a lot. And the Bucks in the Nets are 692 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:00,720 Speaker 1: gonna have to play each other in a second round, 693 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 1: while the Sixers are probably gonna have to They're gonna 694 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: have to play one of the weaker teams. And I 695 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 1: think there's a there's a hierarchy in the East. There's 696 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 1: three teams. We're all looking at the Nets, the Bucks, 697 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 1: and the Sixers. So if the Sixers only have to 698 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 1: play one of those teams, I think that's where the 699 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,799 Speaker 1: value lies. Now, the one thing I will say is 700 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 1: that the Sixers don't have a lot of one ball 701 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 1: creators in the half court, and that's what you need 702 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,319 Speaker 1: for a playoff series. And then MB struggles with the 703 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: double team. So if you double MB, he's gonna struggle 704 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,880 Speaker 1: to kick it out the Shooters. But if you're telling 705 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 1: me that the Bucks in the nets are gonna have 706 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,360 Speaker 1: a seven game series and they have to play the sixers, 707 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: I think you have an impact. Actually, um I wrote 708 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: an article when the Action Network last year about teams 709 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: and how they perform after a seven game series, and 710 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:52,399 Speaker 1: it's pretty damning. Um I gotta check that out out, man. Yeah, 711 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 1: I can. I can actually send that to you. It's 712 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 1: it's it's it's very damning on how teams perform in 713 00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 1: game one after a seven game series and the series 714 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: in total. And it's a hangover. It's a hangover game, right, 715 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,479 Speaker 1: it's a drop off. Yeah. Yeah, Like I think you're 716 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 1: you're hitting like sixty percent, just fading those teams, all right, 717 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:12,879 Speaker 1: Just a couple more questions for you then I'll get 718 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 1: you out of here. I gotta get who you have 719 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: in I know you you're dancing with the Clippers and 720 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: the Lakers in futures. If you were to if you 721 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:24,439 Speaker 1: were to say right now, who the NBA Finals is. 722 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 1: The two teams, one from the East, one from the West. 723 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:28,959 Speaker 1: You know, you don't have to say, you're putting money 724 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: on it, but if you had an inkling and you 725 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 1: wanted to throw one out there, what do you thinking happens? 726 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,439 Speaker 1: And then if you want, you can say, as a fan, 727 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 1: what do you want to see? I think we all 728 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: want to see nexts versus Lakers. I mean, that's the 729 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 1: box office thing. We all want to see Katie versus 730 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,839 Speaker 1: um Lebron James. We all want to see Kyre at 731 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: the biggest stage, hard and at the biggest stage. That's 732 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: what we all want to see. I think the Lakers 733 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,879 Speaker 1: are gonna make it. I'm gonna be honest. They've had 734 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 1: a top ten defense all year despite the injuries to 735 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis and Lebron James. I think the Nets see 736 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 1: I'm struggling with it because I might find myself on 737 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: the Bucks in the second round. Really because yeah, because 738 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 1: you know I watched those games between the Bucks and 739 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 1: the Nets and they really had no answer for Jana 740 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,759 Speaker 1: Sians to Jakomba. The thing that Yanna struggled with the 741 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years is he played two 742 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: top ten defenses. He played the Raptors who could build 743 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 1: a wall with Kawhi Leonard and Pascal Siakam and Mark 744 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,120 Speaker 1: Assoul and then he played the Miami Heat team who 745 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,960 Speaker 1: had Bam and Jimmy. The Nets don't have that, and 746 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 1: so I think the Bucks are really live there. So 747 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: so you got a ball and if it ends up 748 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 1: being Bucks Lakers, which way would you lean? I'm gonna 749 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 1: go with the Lakers. I just, I just I just 750 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,960 Speaker 1: can't bet against Lebron right now. I think he's kind 751 00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 1: of overdraw He's being over dramatic at this point. Actor 752 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 1: of the year that was great, but I just think 753 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,839 Speaker 1: it's his time. Man, do do you have? Do you 754 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,280 Speaker 1: have for us? If it wasn't the Lakers or the Clippers, 755 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: anyone out of the West just a long shot? Is 756 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 1: it a there a world where the Jazz get there? 757 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,759 Speaker 1: Is there a world where CP three leads the Sun 758 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,359 Speaker 1: starting with obviously I'll everest going against the Lakers Series one, 759 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,799 Speaker 1: There's a world where the Jazz gets there. I think 760 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,279 Speaker 1: the biggest thing with the Jazz is because they make 761 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:35,920 Speaker 1: seventeen threes a game, right they have multiple ball creators 762 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,759 Speaker 1: and Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley. They have probably the 763 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 1: best defensive center in the league, and Rudy Gobert. They 764 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 1: have their weaknesses. Now, I think the biggest reason why 765 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 1: I don't like the Jazz too much is I think 766 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 1: their wing play is is lacking. I think if the 767 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: if the Jazz played the Clippers having Royce, O'Neil and 768 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,360 Speaker 1: by Donovis versus Kowhi, Leonard and PG, it's just not 769 00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't whole weight. But I think they're I think 770 00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: they're live. I think they're live against anybody. So all right, well, 771 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 1: I'll get you out of here with this. It could 772 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,359 Speaker 1: be a good beat or a Scottie Van bad beat. 773 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,279 Speaker 1: I know you mentioned the all time four racks on 774 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,040 Speaker 1: my three and a half covering at the last play 775 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,359 Speaker 1: with the with the NFC North on the line years ago. 776 00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 1: Do you have anything that tops that? I would love 777 00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:25,160 Speaker 1: to hear an all time par lay at all time cover? 778 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 1: I mean that's pretty all time, a Roger James Jones 779 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,440 Speaker 1: to cover at the end. Anything that tops that that 780 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,359 Speaker 1: we can listen to for better or for worse on 781 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,920 Speaker 1: your way out here. My favorite one is so I 782 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,840 Speaker 1: was in attendance for Game six of the twenty thirteen 783 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: finals when ray Islan hit the shot. What I had 784 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,239 Speaker 1: a futures better on the Miami Heat. I was on 785 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 1: the h I was on one hundred level. I was 786 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:55,800 Speaker 1: right behind the Spurs basket. So people were literally leaving, 787 00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 1: like I think when it's so Miami. Dude, God, it 788 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,839 Speaker 1: was so I'm gonna tell you how crazy it was. 789 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,919 Speaker 1: The usher said, I'm gonna see you next year. That's 790 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 1: where he's like. The usher came up towards him, was like, yeah, 791 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,360 Speaker 1: I see y'all next year. And people was rolling and 792 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,799 Speaker 1: I had my future is better in the Miami Heat, 793 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 1: and I was like, look, I paid good money for 794 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,359 Speaker 1: these tickets. I pay good money for my futures. I'm 795 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 1: gonna sit here and I'm gonna watch this whole thing, 796 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,480 Speaker 1: even if it means the Spurs. I'm watching the Spurs 797 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 1: get the trophy, and obviously you see them pull the 798 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,640 Speaker 1: trophy out, and then you know, Lebron hits the first three, 799 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 1: they missed the free those, Ray Allen hits the game 800 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:40,400 Speaker 1: time three and it just goes, eh, Bro, I cannot 801 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 1: believe you were there for that game and you had 802 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:49,360 Speaker 1: the Heat futures. The man stayed in and believe baby 803 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,279 Speaker 1: to the end, Ray Palmer, thank you for joining me. 804 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:53,840 Speaker 1: Man Hey, where can we check you out.
