00:00
As far as the West goes, the three through the eight seed are separated by just two and
00:07
a half games.
00:08
Now you're talking on the high end, having home court advantage, the three and a four
00:13
seed.
00:14
On the low end, the seven and eight, being in the play-in tournament.
00:18
So that's pretty, that's some big stakes there, only being separated by two and a half games.
00:24
So that of course is the Lakers, Nuggets, Warriors, DeWolves, Clippers, and Memphis.
00:28
So Memphis has now fallen, Scottie, down to eight with how awful they've been, losing
00:33
four in a row and eight of their last ten.
00:36
They're done, they're finished.
00:37
I think I'll be surprised, A, if they get into it, and B, seriously, and B, they're
00:44
losing.
00:45
When they play, they're losing.
00:46
And here's another home run.
00:47
They're flying out of target field as the Astros tie it, ah, Pena with a shot to left.
00:55
Look, I'm going to see the Suns team Sunday against the Knicks.
01:00
And I watched them the other night, right?
01:02
And they are, horrible.
01:14
They are horrible.
01:16
I mean to tell you, that team they got out there now, that they're playing with, Allen,
01:22
and what a bunch of hacks.
01:24
I mean, it is, are you kidding me?
01:27
They can't get this Beal guy off his keyster to play?
01:31
Well, you know what?
01:33
I got a couple bets for you here then, too.
01:35
Just like we want to take the Bulls in the East at plus 350 to beat a team that gets
01:39
in the last eight.
01:40
How about this for the Western Conference that I have for you?
01:43
Now I think the Clippers will be in, that's why they're yes, minus 1100.
01:47
How about the no for the Grizzlies, losing in the play-in tournament, not making it,
01:52
at plus 475.
01:53
I love that bet.
01:54
And the yes for the Mavericks at plus 575, if AD is going to stay healthy and they get
02:01
all these bigs back.
02:02
How about those being the two plays?
02:03
They got everybody back.
02:05
They got Gafford back.
02:07
They got AD playing now.
02:10
Really what do they need?
02:11
Dante, Axum, because they got no Kyrie.
02:14
But get Klay.
02:15
I mean, you know, he's really, I think, become kind of a bum down there.
02:21
Like he doesn't matter anymore to me at all.
02:23
Like he has a lot of trashy nights.
02:26
He really does.
02:27
I think he's in full lockdown depression that he didn't go to the Lakers.
02:32
He knows he effed it up nice and juicy.
02:34
He made that choice thinking he had it all figured out.
02:37
And then they traded Luke into the Lakers and he's left homeless.
02:41
It is unbelievable to me.
02:43
But no one can stop AD when he plays and he's healthy.
02:48
Nobody can stop him.
02:49
That's for sure.
02:50
He's been real good.
02:51
So there you go.
02:52
That's all we can make to make the playoffs going forward.
