00:00Now, you wanted moments yesterday. You got them. Anthony Volpe with a grand slam and

00:07for some weird reason never met Derek Jeter and had to take a picture with him after the

00:11game. And you say, Donnie, why do you care about a player taking a picture with another

00:16player for a photo op? Oh, perfect segway as we get into it tonight, Dubsy. The NBA

00:22takes place. It's a Los Angeles Lakers. It's the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight. That spreads

00:26four and a half currently right now as a favorite towards the Cavaliers and a total

00:30of 225. But here's the issue with this game. Forget about the handicaps here. Ron and

00:36Ronnie are going to show up in Cleveland tonight for a family photo. And I wonder about this

00:41stuff. Sometimes when you get married, you pick out a videographer, you pick out a photographer.

00:46Have they been doing this here? Because photo op night number one, which they got fantastic.

00:52They loved it as a family. I pan quite frankly. He hasn't appeared in a game yet, but he's

00:57going to appear in the game tonight for another photo op. And then he's going to be banished

01:00to the G league. Let's start there. Lakers calves off the court here. Bronnie coming

01:05to town. Big deal. No big deal. Making a mockery of the NBA or Don. You're being way too harsh.

01:11It's a great family moment.

01:12Oh, get out of here. We're not at Disneyland right now, but now splash Madden here, Donnie.

01:19What's going on? I mean, we've seen enough from Bronnie James. He looks like, you know,

01:23a 12 year old playing amongst men. He's not built for it. He doesn't have the skill set.

01:28It's a complete insult to the opposition in the Cleveland Cavaliers. And LeBron James

01:32has far too much control over this Lakers team. So let's get another photo opportunity

01:38in the mix. Let's get it done and dusted. He ain't putting up points. He ain't putting

01:41up buckets. He ain't getting rebounds. This is an absolute disaster from the jump. And

01:46this is what happens when your podcast co-hosts is the head coach in JJ Reddick. The Lakers

01:53are playing some good basketball. They don't need this distraction or this sideshow. And

01:57imagine what it tells the rest of the locker room. Like, yeah, okay, well, we'll step aside

02:01and we'll let he have, he he's, you know, a couple of minutes in the spotlight as we

02:05go back to Cleveland here, we're trying to win basketball games.

02:08This is the NBA. This is the association, one of the toughest environments in professional

02:13sports. And you're bringing the young fella up just because, because it's something you

02:18want to do. I'm sorry. I haven't bought in for this one from the jump. If you're trying

02:22to play the long game with Bronny James, that ain't it either. I'm sorry. There's levels

02:27to this thing. He doesn't have what dad has in terms of seeing it out there on the hardwood.

02:31Give him a minute, two minutes at best. I don't like this play for the Lakers at all.

02:35And they're probably going to be left Cleveland with egg in the face. So I'm right there with

02:39you, Donnie.

02:41Like, why don't you, and why don't we just keep going on this? Like, I guess he goes

02:43to the G league, but then he might come back for the Miami heat game in Miami so they can

02:47do it again. And why don't we just even take it to the 10th degree here, dubs? Why don't

02:51every game Ronnie come in and they stop the game, call a timeout, maybe even like Adam

02:56Silver can be there. And Ronnie and LeBron can exchange jerseys at half court, like players

03:01do after the game and take the picture that way here.

03:03Wouldn't that be great? Hey, dad, can you get your Jersey shorts on? Let me get yours.

03:07It makes a mockery of the organic situations in sports or why we love sports, or we don't

03:11know what's going to happen in player step up in big moments, fake photo ops. That's

03:15what gets on my nerves. But by the way, Cleveland Cavaliers come into this game four and all

03:18in the season, the Lakers three and one, I'm taking the Cavs tonight minus four and a half

03:25on Bronny night. How about that? Game number two, we'll look at how about the Spurs and

03:28the Thunder big line here, 12 and a half point spread for the, excuse me, 12 point spread

03:33live for the Oklahoma City Thunder total of two 21. It's first Thunderdubs and he feels

03:38Webanyama, OKC, SGA. What do you got? Yeah, I love this matchup to the exciting young

03:45teams in the NBA. OKC obviously pushing for a championship. They do have the cows. They've

03:51got that pedigree SGA, the shortest price in the MVP market. But this is a big spot

03:56close to two touchdowns and going against Wemby and the Spurs. And we know how San Antonio

04:01like to play it. They can shut it down on the defensive side. So for me, if you want

04:05to correlate the two bed types here, I think the Spurs grabbing the points in a big spot,

04:10bright lights, shining lights going against one of the best teams in the NBA. Give me

04:13the points with the Spurs and give me the unders there as well. I'll correlate it towards

04:18that total two 21 and a half. I don't see in which a way in which we get over that.

04:23I caught up with a couple of sons players last week, Donnie, and I was like, well, to

04:27ask him, who's who's who's who scares you in the NBA? Who is that big that just wows

04:33you in their presence? And like Wemby, Wemby is a really big dude. There is no one like

04:38him. So really tough in trying to score against. And I think the kids an absolute superstar.

04:42One of my craziest bets of the year, quadruple double at 12 to one for Web and Yama. Give

04:48me the Spurs again. Dig in Celtics Pacers here. Also, take a look at the Celtics four

04:53and on the season. The Pacers, one in three currently live, minus six and a half favorite

04:57for the Celtics Pacers total in this game. Two thirty five and a half. Give me the over

05:00in this one. Let's have some fun. It's on the move. Pacers playing with plenty of pace.

05:05They can score. Could not stop a nosebleed. The Celtics, the class. Why the Celtics playing

05:10with so much motivation, Donnie? Does somebody take their lunch money? Does somebody tell

05:14them they're getting kicked out of Boston? They're playing like an angry team right now.

05:19Let's go. Maybe the Celtics don't show up because you're watching Ronnie James Lane

05:23Cleveland to the upset alert, baby.
