00:00
Now, these next couple of games, they do have a lot of interest to them.
00:04
Milwaukee is in Detroit against the Pistons.
00:07
Now, first, let me give you these Giannis numbers over the last seven games.
00:10
How about 59-14, 22-15, 20-13, 41-9, 37-10, 32-11, 42-12?
00:18
How's Giannis doing recently?
00:19
Seems like he's feeling pretty good with a lot of dimes, too.
00:24
I'll take him if they don't want him.
00:26
Yeah, exactly.
00:27
You'll take him if you don't want him.
00:28
Now, the winner of this game wins their group, which is Group B.
00:33
So, the winner of this will be 4-0 in Group A and will advance into the next round.
00:38
The Bucs are 2.5-point favorites in Detroit against the Pistons.
00:43
220.5 is the total.
00:46
Yeah, actually, the surprise has been the Pistons.
00:51
The Pistons have been the biggest surprise in the NBA Cup so far, without a doubt, right?
00:56
And people would say the Hawks, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:59
So, they haven't lost, right?
01:01
So, why not go for it?
01:03
I'll take the Pistons tonight over the Bucs in Detroit.
01:07
The other game of significance in the East is Orlando at the Garden against the Knicks.
01:12
Now, Orlando's won 12-13, and they can win Group A, as can the Knicks.
01:17
They are both 3-0 in group play.
01:20
The Knicks are minus 4.5 tonight.
01:22
214.5 is the total.
01:27
I think the Magic are going to beat the Knicks outright tonight at the Garden.
01:31
Yeah, you know, and the Magic have given the Knicks problems the last couple years,
01:38
and that always factors into me as well.
01:41
So, the winner of this gets Group A.
01:43
The winner of Detroit-Milwaukee gets Group B.
01:45
Now, the wild card in the East, if Orlando loses, it will be them,
01:50
because they have a plus-60 point differential right now.
01:54
The Celtics are not playing tonight.
01:56
They would need Orlando to win and Milwaukee to win,
02:01
and the Celtics can sneak in as they're done at 3-1,
02:04
and their point differential's around plus-22 or 23, I think.
02:08
So, you're going to get into the point differential
02:10
when it comes to who's going to be the fourth team in the Eastern Conference.
02:13
So, you're telling me that the Cavaliers and the Celtics
02:16
aren't going to be in the next round of this tournament,
02:20
which is a farcical.
02:23
If the Knicks beat the Magic, the Magic are going to be the fourth team,
02:28
because they want a couple blowout games.
02:30
Their point differential's plus-60.
02:33
So, they're going to be the team that gets the fourth seed
02:37
if the Knicks beat them tonight.
02:38
It will be the Magic, unless the Knicks kill them by 30.
02:42
In Portuguese, what that means is that the NBA Cup
02:46
is the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.
