6
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 2: I'm with Danny Green, I'm with Paul Pierce. Let's dive

7
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: into these picks this Christmas Day special. First up, Rockets

8
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: at the Lakers. Which one of these teams do you

9
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: think has that championship look and field too? The Lakers

10
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: are the Rockets.

11
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: For me, it's the Rockets. So far, so good. They've

12
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 3: had some big wins. They recently beat Denver, which is

13
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 3: always a test you're trying to look at who's gonna

14
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: be competitive measuring. Yeah, those are those playoff measures stick games,

15
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: and they did more than impressed me. And I know

16
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 3: that Denver is dealing with injuries, but so everybody's dealing

17
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 3: with injuries. But they look more of like championship contending

18
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 3: type ingredients. I love that that they have on their

19
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 3: side than the Lakers. I mean, obviously you can never

20
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 3: count them out with Luca out there and Lebron But

21
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 3: to me, it's the Rockets that looks like a team

22
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 3: that can go all the way.

23
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: Danny, what about.

24
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 4: You, I'm gonna say Houston as well. Right now, I

25
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 4: haven't seen Lakers fully healthy. Luca just went down. We

26
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 4: don't know how long it's gonna be out, has been

27
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 4: out for a while with this calf stream. They need

28
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 4: to get fully healthy. Bron is getting his legs back

29
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 4: under them, so that's looking better and more promising. So

30
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 4: you know, he's proven everybody wrong once again, you know,

31
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 4: because he had the moment where he was struggling to

32
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 4: get the double digits. But he's you know, at thirty

33
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 4: six other night or so. I mean, that's what both

34
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 4: guys out. But even looking at the front line, one healthy,

35
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 4: Houston has a better front line. They just look deeper.

36
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 4: They look like they have more size and be able

37
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 4: to compete with Okay, see, I don't think LA has

38
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 4: that right now. But they are a good team. Again,

39
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 4: like you know, P said, you can't count them out

40
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 4: when they have the guys that they have on that team.

41
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: So to me, it's got to be Houston, and it's

42
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 2: because they have an elite unit in their defense, but

43
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: their offense is also really good. The problem for me

44
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: with the Lakers is that I think their offense is elite,

45
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: but their defense is below average, if not bottom ten tier.

46
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: And you just can't.

47
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: You can't be a championship level team if one of

48
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: your units.

49
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: Is below average by a lot.

50
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: And their defense right now is it's an embarrassment.

51
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

52
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 2: Like they can't the ball they like any level of athleticism, quickness, Danny,

53
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 2: You've seen it. It just trips them up, and so

54
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: I can't call him a chance like they need to

55
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: get to If they can get to average to barely

56
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: above average defense, I think we could start taking them

57
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: more seriously because their offense is legitimately unstoppable when they

58
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: have all three of their best players going and rolling

59
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: like they legitimately.

60
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: Elite, but the defense is just ugh, it's horrible to

61
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: look at it.

62
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't think they're quite championship level at

63
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: the moment. But let's get into some picks right now.

64
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: KD more or less than twenty seven and a half points, Danny,

65
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: what do you got more?

66
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 5: KD?

67
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 4: He's been playing well, and I guess the Lakers people

68
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 4: show up against the top these team.

69
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, so he's gonna have one of those nights.

70
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: What about you, Paul, more or less than twenty seven

71
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: and a half Christmas Day?

72
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, in La Big Stage, Last Camera Action, KD. I

73
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 3: got going for more.

74
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: I'm going more as well, especially with the Lebron angle.

75
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: He just loves he hits some of these games. He

76
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: always has, he always will, So I'm going more than

77
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: twenty seven and a half. Lebron been dropping buckets Danny

78
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: lately man more or less than twenty four and a

79
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: half for Lebron James on Christmas Day, he has to go.

80
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 4: I think he has to go more. Again, I don't

81
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 4: know if Ar and Luca are there. I'm assuming at

82
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 4: least one of them are out, so I'm gonna say

83
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 4: he has to go more. If they're both there, he

84
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 4: won't have to, but he's gonna have to go more

85
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 4: for them to compete against the Rockets, So I'm gonna

86
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 4: say more.

87
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: I'm going less. I think Houston is just such a

88
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: ferocious defensive team. They're gonna make this guy work his

89
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: freaking tail off.

90
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: And if one of Reeves or Luca aren't there, I

91
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: mean Lakers getting blown out.

92
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: So I'm going less on Lebron.

93
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: Luca, who's scheduled to play Luca more or less than

94
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: thirty one.

95
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: And a half? Oh, I got more for Luca? What

96
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: about you, Danny Christmas?

97
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: If he plays up, I'm gonna plays the I'm going

98
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: more as well. He's gonna seize the day dominating. Is

99
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: he gonna dominate on the boards with more or less

100
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 2: than seven point five? Can we count on the dominant

101
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: eight to get eight?

102
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: That's a rebound.

103
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: I'm pulling for him. He got it, he has to.

104
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 4: But I'm gonna say less. I think he's been out

105
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 4: for a while. He got some health issues too, so

106
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 4: he's just coming out. He's just now coming back. So

107
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 4: first game back more than eight, I'm gonna say he's

108
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 4: gonna get right out. I feel he's gonna get right

109
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 4: at seven.

110
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna say less, damn more he got He

111
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 3: ain't gonna have no rhythm on the shot. Than one

112
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 3: thing he better do is go out there and rebound.

113
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: To me, yeah, seven and a half, you gotta go

114
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 2: out and get eight rebounds. Man against he's like the

115
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 2: big front line. They're challenging your manhood. Man, show up,

116
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: step up to the plate eight and give me more

117
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,239
Speaker 2: than seven and a half boards.

118
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 5: Do you guys have any very much front line for them?

119
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: You guys have any sleepers for a big game?

120
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 2: If Luca Reeves are not able to play, is Marcus

121
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: Smart gonna step up here?

122
00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: Ruey Hotch?

123
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 3: You moro giving me a big game?

124
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: What about you a sleeper big game out there, Green Ranger.

125
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 4: I mean, it would have to be somebody like gave Vincent,

126
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 4: But again I just don't see it. If they don't

127
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 4: have Austin. If Luca player is great, they're gonna need

128
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 4: either Marcus Smart or Gay Vincent Ruy or Van der.

129
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: Gabe is out.

130
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, that's another reason why the getting smoked at the

131
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: point of attack. They they got Marcus smartin and you nothing.

132
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 5: They're gonna need Vanda to be very active.

133
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: All right, you.

134
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 5: Got to win Houston?

135
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think all of us Houston. I think Houston

136
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: is their cold lesson right now.

137
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: They look incredible.

138
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 5: Give me the Houston, But I think Houston is gonna

139
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 5: win Houston.

140
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 2: Next up in our Picksmiths Extravaganza, Danny Green get up

141
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 2: the Calves at MSG to face the New York Knicks.

142
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 2: They're tormentors of playoffs past.

143
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: Do you see this game?

144
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 4: I think this one's gonna be a blowout. I do too,

145
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 4: I see I say, I think the Neck's gonna beat them.

146
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 4: I hope we don't get a bunch of blowouts on Christmas,

147
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 4: but this one's gonna be one. I think Houston will

148
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 4: be a better game. I don't know if it'll be closed,

149
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 4: but I think New York's gonna beat up on Cleveland.

150
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell more or less than twenty eight and a

151
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: half points.

152
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 3: Bro, Donovan Mitchell been getting. I think he shows up

153
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 3: because he has.

154
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: To show he's gonna shoot forty times.

155
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they're losing a lot and he knows this

156
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 3: is a big game.

157
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 5: Yeah.

158
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's definite. He's gonna go way over.

159
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 5: Danny has to get more.

160
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 4: He has to get more, except with the team that

161
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 4: they have, he's been scoring enough. They've still been losing.

162
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 4: But he has us to make it like competitive. He

163
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 4: has to score forty so he'll get more than twenty eight.

164
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: His arm's gonna be tired by the time this game

165
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: is over because he's he's gonna be shooting it. Give

166
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: me more than twenty eight and a half points for

167
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell last, but certainly not least Mitchell Robinson more

168
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: or less than eight point five rebounds.

169
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 4: More more, he's gonna bully him like he's always done

170
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 4: the last couple. It sucks to say, it sucks to hear.

171
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 4: I'm a former cav I wanted to see him have

172
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 4: a great year this year again, but he's been bullying

173
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 4: them in on the boards, and he's a big key

174
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 4: to what New York success has been, especially against the Spurs.

175
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 4: He's gonna do the same thing and get a lot

176
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 4: of rebounds, probably have five offensive, five or six offensive

177
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 4: at least.

178
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that should be the more or less eight point

179
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: five offensive rebounds.

180
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: Paul is going more as well.

181
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: Obviously, I agree any sleepers for a big game.

182
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: You got Danny for this one.

183
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 4: I don't think it's a sleeper, but I expect that said,

184
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 4: I think Josh Hart's gonna be one of those that

185
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 4: said he can't have one of those games for him.

186
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be a blowout, so it's not

187
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 4: really a sleeper. Cleveland's gonna need somebody as sleeper to

188
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 4: keep them in the game, whether it's Tyson or I

189
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: don't know, Sam Merrill, somebody gotta come in.

190
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 3: I'm sleeper for the game is Hunter. I mean, I

191
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 3: think he has to.

192
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: Have a big game, DeAndre Hunter, whether.

193
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 3: He's off the bench or whatever kind of role he's

194
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 3: gonna play because they need to change some stuff up.

195
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: So I'm going, huh, what a big game.

196
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: I'm just super into what Kolaks doing right now. So

197
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 2: look out for Cold. Obviously we all think the Knicks

198
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 2: are gonna beat them up.

199
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: That's our prediction for the game. Our next picks, miss Special.

200
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: See like first two games, I'm gonna be walking around

201
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: the house. Yeah, some food together. It's gonna be background

202
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 3: when this game comes.

203
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: On, is what I say. Now, you're locking in, you

204
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.

205
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: Spurs at okayc Is this the game of the day, Danny.

206
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely absolutely rematch within a week. I mean, as

207
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 4: much as I like to see you when you still

208
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 4: come on the bench, I think, Okay, he's gonna come

209
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 4: back with a chip on their shoulder and try to

210
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 4: make a statement. I still think it's gonna be a

211
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 4: close game. But okay, so he's probably gonna get this

212
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 4: one on Christmas and they're at home.

213
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: Correct, Okay, see is at home for this they won't

214
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: be in Vegas at the T Mobile Cetter getting booed

215
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 2: by Nick fans and Spurs fans man.

216
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 3: Yes, so I got Okay, see, a number of things

217
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 3: can happen, a number of things. And what I mean

218
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: by that because if San Antonio wins this game, okay, see,

219
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a lot of.

220
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: Discussions, Yes there is. I'm gonna a.

221
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 3: Discussion about Canada Spurs win it. There's gonna be a

222
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 3: discussion about is winby the best player in the league?

223
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: Is he the m VP right now?

224
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 5: Like?

225
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 4: Is he?

226
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: Does he own? Okay, don't know? Is this the preview

227
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: of the conference finals?

228
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: There's That's what I'm saying, Like, if the Spurs win

229
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 3: this game, it's gonna be I mean, it's like, there's

230
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 3: no We're not even gonna talk about the rest of

231
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 3: the games.

232
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: This is a huge game.

233
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: This is probably the one that I'm most looking forward to,

234
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: especially after the Cup semi finals and.

235
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 3: The Spurs winning this.

236
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: Okay, not the Spurs.

237
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: It's gonna be uncomfortable conversations on that next Friday.

238
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: Danny, what do you what's your prediction for the outcome

239
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: of this game?

240
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 4: I said, it's hard to beat a team twice, especially

241
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 4: in the same week, and the bench, I think, Okay,

242
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 4: He's come to make a statement. I think Overse's gonna

243
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 4: win this game, but I still think it's gonna be

244
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 4: interesting and close. So I'm excited to see what happens.

245
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 4: But I think OKAYC comes back with a vengeance.

246
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 2: I think OKAYC got chin checked in that semi final game.

247
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: I think they went in there like you know, Wenby

248
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 2: still come easing his way back in and whatever.

249
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: Moselle and all. We've been. We won twenty in a row.

250
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: We're used to this, and they caught a haymaker and

251
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 2: went down. But I think they were They're gonna be

252
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 2: extremely ready for this game. They're gonna come out with

253
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: something to prove. I think they're gonna win. I think

254
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: okay See wins this game. But let's get into our picks.

255
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: First off, Victor women Yama more or less than twenty

256
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: four and a half points.

257
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: Danny, what you got?

258
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go less. I'm gonna go less.

259
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 3: If Birds are gonna win, he's gonna have a big

260
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 3: game on Friday. We're gonna be talking crazy. I got more.

261
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go less.

262
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: And I think his impact is going to mainly be defensive,

263
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: not that he's not gonna impact offensively. I think defense

264
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 2: is where he's gonna be felt. And so I'm gonna

265
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: go less than twenty four and a half points.

266
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 3: Castle, Stephan, don't forget he takes this matchup person He does.

267
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: Take it personally. He him and chat Holmer, and yeah.

268
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 4: I think I think, okay see, he's seen some weakness.

269
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 4: Send him against the Knicks and they gotta do that

270
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 4: double big action and try to hurt him on the

271
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 4: offensive glass like the Knicks did. So I think it's

272
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 4: gonna wear on himself. But yeah, he likes that match

273
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 4: up with Chess.

274
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: So we'll see Castle more or less than nineteen and

275
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: a half points.

276
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 5: Ooh, I'm gonna go less. I like Steph.

277
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 4: I think he's an upcoming star man. This guy's got

278
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 4: it all. But you know again, I think, okay see,

279
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 4: he's gonna take it personally and try to limit both

280
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 4: of these guys as much as they can.

281
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 5: They're gonna make Darren Fox and Harper beat them.

282
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm gonna go less as well. What

283
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: about you, Dan?

284
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 3: Excuse me, Paul, I think Castle wants to start having

285
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: conversations about him being one of the better young guys

286
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 3: in the league and games like this, can you on

287
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 3: the man? I'm going more.

288
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: Next up, SGA, more or less than twenty nine and

289
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: a half. He's gonna drop thirty this game.

290
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, machine, Yeah.

291
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 2: This is the biggest lock of Christmas Day, y'all. SGA

292
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 2: is going to drop thirty in this game.

293
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 3: Clock it.

294
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: Locket.

295
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: Next up, Jalen Williams J Dubb? Will J Dubb have

296
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: more or less than nineteen and a half?

297
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 4: Dan, I'm gonna say less. He's still getting his rhythm back.

298
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 4: He's not fulling there yet.

299
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: What about you, Paul?

300
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 3: I think less. I think the swarming DEFENSI Ave Letter says, he's,

301
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 3: like you said, still get his rhythm. He'll be right

302
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: around eighteen nineteen, though.

303
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: I think J.

304
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: Dubb is gonna have more because SGA is gonna getting

305
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 2: a lot of attention freeing stuff up for Jadub. Give

306
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: me more than nineteen and a half? Any sleepers for

307
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: this game? We already picked our winners. But do you

308
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: guys have any sleepers that you guys think people should

309
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 2: be watching out for in this matchup?

310
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 4: Dylan Harper I think Dylan Harper is gonna have him

311
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 4: to night. He's finding finding his rhythm right now too.

312
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 4: Fox has had a good game tonight. But I think

313
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 4: Dylan Harper is gonna be a guy that's gonna be

314
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 4: able to because it's not gonna be as much attention

315
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,680

Speaker 1: This team, actually, these two teams actually do have a

374
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,360

Speaker 4: like fighting shock and I.

433
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,679

Speaker 1: remember your Christmas Day game routine?

435
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 2: Like, because that's like awkward, especially if you're on the

436
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 2: road for Christmas. What what do you do in that sense?

437
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 2: Are you celebrating on Christmas Eve with the family?

438
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: What's the routine?

439
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 3: A lot of times we open presence and then at

440
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 3: the night the day before actually and then because if

441
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 3: we were on the road, because there are times I

442
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 3: was in l A on New York for Christmas or

443
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 3: and then we'll we'll we have Christmas on the road.

444
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 3: You got a plan, bring some presence, but most of

445
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 3: the stuff haves on Christmas Eve. Gotcha, you got the family,

446
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 3: then they fly with you on Christmas. You get the

447
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 3: night with them, man, And so it's not normal. That's

448
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 3: why I didn't like playing on Christmas. And I understood

449
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 3: it was a privilege, but it was way out of

450
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 3: your routine, Like you couldn't lock in like you really

451
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 3: wanted to and have your routine because you gotta do

452
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 3: this with the family, make sure it's supporting. And so

453
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 3: that's why I never really liked playing on Christmas.
