00:00Now, these next couple of games, they do have a lot of interest to them.
00:04Milwaukee is in Detroit against the Pistons.
00:07Now, first, let me give you these Giannis numbers over the last seven games.
00:10How about 59-14, 22-15, 20-13, 41-9, 37-10, 32-11, 42-12?
00:18How's Giannis doing recently?
00:19Seems like he's feeling pretty good with a lot of dimes, too.
00:24I'll take him if they don't want him.
00:26Yeah, exactly.
00:27You'll take him if you don't want him.
00:28Now, the winner of this game wins their group, which is Group B.
00:33So, the winner of this will be 4-0 in Group A and will advance into the next round.
00:38The Bucs are 2.5-point favorites in Detroit against the Pistons.
00:43220.5 is the total.
00:46Yeah, actually, the surprise has been the Pistons.
00:51The Pistons have been the biggest surprise in the NBA Cup so far, without a doubt, right?
00:56And people would say the Hawks, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:59So, they haven't lost, right?
01:01So, why not go for it?
01:03I'll take the Pistons tonight over the Bucs in Detroit.
01:07The other game of significance in the East is Orlando at the Garden against the Knicks.
01:12Now, Orlando's won 12-13, and they can win Group A, as can the Knicks.
01:17They are both 3-0 in group play.
01:20The Knicks are minus 4.5 tonight.
01:22214.5 is the total.
01:27I think the Magic are going to beat the Knicks outright tonight at the Garden.
01:31Yeah, you know, and the Magic have given the Knicks problems the last couple years,
01:38and that always factors into me as well.
01:41So, the winner of this gets Group A.
01:43The winner of Detroit-Milwaukee gets Group B.
01:45Now, the wild card in the East, if Orlando loses, it will be them,
01:50because they have a plus-60 point differential right now.
01:54The Celtics are not playing tonight.
01:56They would need Orlando to win and Milwaukee to win,
02:01and the Celtics can sneak in as they're done at 3-1,
02:04and their point differential's around plus-22 or 23, I think.
02:08So, you're going to get into the point differential
02:10when it comes to who's going to be the fourth team in the Eastern Conference.
02:13So, you're telling me that the Cavaliers and the Celtics
02:16aren't going to be in the next round of this tournament,
02:20which is a farcical.
02:23If the Knicks beat the Magic, the Magic are going to be the fourth team,
02:28because they want a couple blowout games.
02:30Their point differential's plus-60.
02:33So, they're going to be the team that gets the fourth seed
02:37if the Knicks beat them tonight.
02:38It will be the Magic, unless the Knicks kill them by 30.
02:42In Portuguese, what that means is that the NBA Cup
02:46is the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.
