00:00Uh, standings today with a little bit of a twist.

00:03Uh, so here is the Eastern Conference, which, I mean, look, we've, uh, had this a couple

00:07times.

00:08We kind of know who the top six are going to be.

00:11And really, you know, other than, you know, Detroit and Milwaukee and Indiana, that three

00:16through six, you know, what the seating's going to be still be determined.

00:19But those next four, Orlando, Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, they will be the play-in tournament.

00:26Uh, Miami's won six games in a row.

00:28I give to you today, odds to make the playoffs for these teams.

00:34Now, make the playoffs means they got to get through the play-in tournament.

00:39Okay.

00:40That means making the playoffs, getting through to the play-in tournament.

00:43So for Orlando, it's yes, minus 300.

00:47Hawks, yes, minus 170.

00:49Heat, yes, plus 110.

00:51And the Bulls, yes, plus 350.

00:54Now you know what those teams are not in that bottom.

00:57You know, if you finish that nine and 10, you got to win two games to get yourself in.

01:01That's why the Bulls have those longer odds.

01:04But I'll tell you, Scotty, I don't think they get a shot with the Bulls at plus 350.

01:10I don't have a problem with it, with the way that they play.

01:12I know they've cooled off the last couple of games, but against these three other teams,

01:17I think they could beat two of them and get in.

01:18Yeah, I like that.

01:21I really do.

01:23They have played better than all of them.

01:25And they have three guys that are producing at a high level.

01:29It's like every night, I think Giddy Kitty and Bezelus and Kobe White are just doing

01:36their thing.

01:37And they're a problem.

01:39And they have other bodies too that can bang.

01:41So I think it's the first time I've ever said it.

01:44I think that Billy's done a hell of a job with them.

01:46And they have talent and they're exciting.

01:49They had lost a few games and then the other night they put up 137.

01:53They can score and they can get out and run.

01:56They're young.

01:57You know, all these teams that are young, if I'm them, keep doing what they're doing.

02:03Like the Thunder, the Bulls, all these teams that are the Rockets, they're all flyers,

02:08right?

02:09They run and gun and they just keep pushing it.

02:13And I think getting out in transition and getting better looks, I think those are teams

02:17I'm willing to bet on.
