00:00Just a one-point spread as of this moment in favor of the Hawks, slightly at home.

00:05DRS, that money line that shows you 18 cents of distinction on that graphic.

00:10Now just four, minus 110 for the Hawks, minus 106 for the Heat.

00:15It is basically a pick-em who wins, who's the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.

00:20It's crazy, too, because it's what have you done for me lately is when a lot of people look at this.

00:24Well, how did the Hawks play against the Magic?

00:25Didn't play very well.

00:26Trey Young got ejected from that game.

00:27What did the Miami Heat do to the Chicago Bulls to stay in the playing rounds?

00:31Absolutely hammered them on the road.

00:33So most people are looking to say, you know what, that might be a steal at that plus one.

00:36If we're just, again, lining it up, I don't have the same vibes that, ooh, Chicago Bulls minus one.

00:40Doesn't make sense.

00:41This absolutely does make some sense.

00:43I think the Miami Heat are going to win this basketball game and continue to move forward.

00:46It doesn't say Trey Young won't actually be, you know, proficient on the court.

00:50He can have his big game and they can still lose, but I'm leaning towards the Heat.

00:53But by the way, let me get you a little PSA here again about Friday and Saturday's NBA.

00:57Do you want to hear it?

00:57Do you want to hear why I'm upset about this now?

00:59I got an idea where it's going.

01:01Yeah.

01:02We were told this week when people have to get up for work, kids have to go to school this week,

01:07that we're going to place games at 10 p.m. because that's the only window we can fit it in.

01:11I see the Friday night night game here, which is a weekend night, 940 starting earlier.

01:16So then I go, okay, that's interesting to me.

01:18Well, Saturday's got to have a 10 o'clock start with all those games on.

01:21Saturday night, 830 start.

01:24Can somebody just explain it to me like I'm a five-year-old child what we do with the time frames

01:31for when they play in the NBA game?

01:33Ben, I'm lost right now.

01:35I really am.
