00:00All right, tonight's NBA slate, a bunch of games.
00:07Well, yeah, our first big slate of the season, 10 games tonight across the association.
00:13Why don't we start in Detroit, where the Pacers are coming off that trip to the Eastern Conference
00:18Finals last year.
00:19They are in to visit the Pistons.
00:22This might be, I know it's very rare that the Pistons actually have all their players
00:25healthy, but it is the first game of the season, so I guess anything's possible.
00:29Indiana minus five and a half on the road tonight with a 235 and a half total.
00:36Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:37I got a hard time believing that the Pistons are good, because they never are.
00:42The Pacers are a really good team.
00:44I'm going Pacers, and I don't need to know anything else.
00:49Don't need to know anything else indeed.
00:51The Brooklyn Nets begin their season, the quest for flag, right?
00:56The call for flag is what it's all about for the Brooklyn Nets this season, and their
01:00roster reflects that.
01:02They will open in Atlanta against the Hawks.
01:05Hawks, of course, minus six and a half.
01:09223 and a half is the total down in Atlanta, GA.
01:14There's no such thing as a tank for players in the NBA.
01:19It's a crapshoot with ping pong balls in a tube.
01:24You have no chance of getting him, thinking if all we have to do is lose games.
01:29They want to be in the top three to get the three, you know, the highest chance to get
01:34him.
01:35Obviously, it's not the worst, but they want to have the most opportunity to be able to
01:40get Cooper Flag, and hope it goes their way.
01:43Well, there you go.
01:45So they start with a loss in Atlanta, and the Hawks will cover.
01:48I agree with you.
01:49I think they're going to get absolutely smashed.
01:52They'll go to the middle of Florida to open up the season for the Magic and the Heat down
01:56in Miami.
01:58Heat minus two and a half at home.
02:00208 and a half, the low total on opening night.
02:04My man, Hawkeyes, and company, and Jimmy Buckets getting involved.
02:10Take the heat.
02:11Lay it.
02:12Lay it with the heat.
02:14Why not?
02:15Next, the game we were talking about before, Milwaukee into Pharrell, Adelphia against
02:20the Sixers.
02:21No Embiid, no Paul George.
02:23They do have Maxie tonight.
02:25Minus three and a half for the Bucs.
02:27You have a healthy Giannis and a healthy Damian Lillard.
02:30I saw Lillard yesterday doing interviews.
02:34I'm going to be back this year.
02:37People sleeping on me, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
02:40Two twenty-two and a half is the total Bucs minus three and a half.
02:43There's nobody to stop Giannis in this game.
02:46They, you know, there's absolutely no getting around it.
02:50He's going to do whatever he wants.
02:52There's no Embiid.
02:53Isn't Drummond his backup?
02:54He's so slow.
02:55Yes.
02:56He's literally, he's a donkey.
02:57He's a mule.
02:58He's literally a mule.
03:00And there is no way that Giannis isn't winning this game and going off.
03:06They're going to go off on him.
03:07There's no George, no Embiid, no, in my idea, no choice.
03:11You have to take the Bucs.
03:14Got to take the Bucs in this spot.
03:16And I actually think the numbers, I think it's a little short.
03:19I kind of expected no Embiid, no George.
03:21They'd be even a little bit more than three and a half in this spot.
03:25Cleveland into Toronto against the Raptors.
03:29Cavs now minus six and a half.
03:31Two twenty-four and a half the total.
03:34Now there's a, you know, a chance that you could get lucky with that spread with Toronto.
03:40I think the Cavs win the game, they don't cover.
03:44I could be with you on that for the Raptors here.
03:47See if they'll be spunky this year.
03:48The Hornets, of course, they got decimated by injuries last year.
03:53They're going to hope that Ball can actually stay on the floor for an extended period of
03:58time this year because they're a lot better when he's there.
04:00They open in Houston against the Rockets.
04:03Rockets minus seven and a half, two twenty-nine and a half the total.
04:07The Rockets are young and loaded and good and they got Sangoon back and they're going
04:13to destroy the Hornets tonight.
04:16I could see that too.
04:18Destroy the Hornets.
04:19Speaking of, another Ball, Lonzo Ball with the Bulls go into New Orleans to see the Pelicans
04:25here.
04:26Minus five and a half for New Orleans, two twenty-six and a half.
04:30The other thing, you have a healthy Zion tonight, which is always the first night.
04:34Zion's healthy.
04:35He'll probably have three or four highlight reel dunks and he'll be hurt by the middle
04:39of next week.
04:40Yeah, well I got it at seven and a half this morning and I bet the Bulls.
04:44Mmm.
04:45How about that?
04:47So yeah, moving down.
04:48Down to five and a half now here.
04:49A couple of hours before tip with the Bulls in New Orleans.
04:52Memphis gets Ja Morant back.
04:55They are in Utah against the Jazz.
04:58Memphis minus two and a half.
05:00The road favorites, two twenty-nine and a half is the total.
05:05Yeah, I like Memphis here on the road in Salt Lake.
05:09I don't think it's going to be easy.
05:10It's a tough place to play.
05:12But Ja, Edie, they got some talent now in size monsters.
05:19Remember, you know, they had Adams and he would play and bang and get things done.
05:26They don't have to worry about any of that anymore.
05:27They got Zack Edie.
05:28He is literally a mountain.
05:30He is a mountain man.
05:32I mean, my man is gigantic.
05:34And remember, and all I know is, all I remember was, is that all I heard was that he's going
05:39to suck at the next level.
05:41Awful.
05:42He's going to be awful.
05:43I am telling you, there is no way you can stop this dude.
05:49No one can stop him.
05:50He's just an absolute flat out, low post, seal off, bad ass.
05:55He seals off better than any big I've seen in college or pros.
05:59He gets the ball and he puts it in the hole.
06:02He does whatever he wants and he's great from the line and he's, he's gigantic.
06:06He's 300 pounds.
06:08Have fun with that.
06:09And all the people that said he's going to suck are going to eat it.
06:12They're going to eat it hard.
06:14I saw this number before on him and I was going to bring it to your attention.
06:18I don't know how much burn he's going to get.
06:20I don't know if he's starting, if he's coming off the bench.
06:25I'm sure he's playing a fair amount.
06:27Double double for Edie tonight.
06:29Plus 240.
06:31That's a good, that's a, that's a fat number for a guy.
06:34Like you said, he gets a lot of, you know, he's going to get a lot of boards in there.
06:37All he's got to do is put a couple hoops in, a couple offensive rebounds.
06:41Double double plus 240.
06:42Yeah.
06:43I'll take it.
06:44I'll take the double double.
06:45Now, the one thing that would get me as they're on the road and you know, he's not going to
06:48get the calls and all the rest, right?
06:51But listen, this guy gets fouled every single time he touches the ball.
06:56You have to foul him to deal with him.
06:58So I'm playing this guy today at a seven footer, right?
07:01And we were triple, we were quadruple teaming him.
07:05And our goal was to cut his arms off of his body.
07:09We couldn't let him get the ball and go to the 10 because you can't stop him.
07:13So we were literally tackling him, holding him, pulling him, tugging him, sway, taking
07:19wax at his arms.
07:21And he's still was unstoppable.
07:23That's what Edie goes through.
07:24Every time he touches the ball, at least three or four people fouling.
07:28You have to foul it.
07:29Do you remember him at Purdue?
07:30He got fouled every time he touched the ball.
07:32And they, how many times can he go to the line in a game where you're like, Oh, this
07:37game's fixed.
07:38This is the refs.
07:40It's because he gets fouled 90% of the time he touches the ball.
07:45Opening of the Intuit Dome tonight in Los Angeles for the Clippers.
07:50They have the Suns coming into town.
07:52Suns minus five and a half to 25 and a half.
07:55The total.
07:56I'll take the Clippers.
07:58And Golden State's five and a half point favorites in Portland against the Blazers tonight.
08:03I like the Dubs.
08:06Blazers are going to be bad.
08:08Really bad.
08:09How will I ever sleep at night?
