00:00Here's your updated playoff bracket.

00:03Now that we know who will be in the seventh spot.

00:04Don't you think those teams have an advantage playing Tuesday night

00:07and then not having to play until Friday night

00:09and they get to play at their home floor?

00:12I think the extra day of rest and the home court

00:18is a massive, massive advantage for both teams.

00:23Especially Atlanta.

00:25Atlanta was like a hop, skip, and a jump.

00:28Atlanta, Orlando, not exactly a grueling travel situation that they have.

00:33I mean, Memphis a little bit more.

00:35I had to go to West Coast, you know, to Golden State.

00:37But still, they get the extra day for whoever wins tonight,

00:41who's also going to be coming from the West Coast.

00:43They're going to need it for being on West Coast time.

00:44Right.

00:45And the winner of that game tonight, I would guess,

00:47is going to go straight on to Memphis after the game

00:50and be there for all day tomorrow and then for the game.

00:52They'll be noodles tomorrow.

00:54Yes, they probably will be noodles tomorrow.

00:57Odds to win the West now as we sit here.

01:02Now, there are a couple of changes there for that.

01:06Now, the Warriors are still up to three.

01:07So, the Warriors, after winning last night, are now the third choice

01:10now that they're in the tree of eight teams in the West.

01:14Thunder, Lakers, Warriors, Clippers, Nuggets, T-Wolves, Rockets.

01:18They got the Nuggets ahead of the Clippers and then the T-Wolves, then the Rockets.

01:24So, like, you can see right there that the Houston Rockets are the number two team

01:29in the conference and they are given no chance whatsoever at all to win the Western Conference.

01:38They are – I mean, they're finished.

01:39What they should do is, I think, close up the building, lock the doors, put chains around them

01:46and deadbolts and then send everybody their money back, all the fans, give them their money

01:53back with ice cream cone certificates at Dairy Queen so that everyone can go have some ice

01:57cream and know that their season's over.

01:59Like, these odds are so terrible on this phone or whatever I'm looking at, whatever this thing

02:05is, this rundown of all these odds are so awful.

02:09They're so awful.

02:10I won't even talk about them.

02:11Those odds are so bad.

02:13Suckers.
