The numbers told the story they always do. It's one of those idiots who believe in analytics. This is a numbers game with Gil Alexander gone V-Sin. Hour number three of a numbers game at VISA, the sports betting network, Visan.com, Game Plus, ihard Radio, YouTube TV, Sirius, XM Channel 158, however you're taking us in. We appreciate it. We are grateful each and every morning. Best listeners in the game.

Skill Alexander, that right there is Kelly Bidlin, everybody. We're going to get back more of that coach of the year, talk later, because that is endlessly fascinating to me. We got a minute. How a betting market. Oh, do we? Because Mark's down here? Yeah, we got minute. Oh, okay. So before Mark Bortcher gets here, because I want to talk baseball with him. Let's just, if we flash up this market again, by the way, a numbers game brought to you by ProfitX proudly.

J.B. Bickerstaff and Joe Missoula, who are minus 135 and plus 130, those teams have only exceeded their win totals currently by a handful of games.

When you get to Mitch Johnson, Charles, Lee, and Jordan, not.

They've exceeded their season win total already by 10 games. All three of those, Spurs,

Hornets, and Sons. And Sons, pardon me. When you get to Quinn Snyder, Mark Daynall,

Darko Ryakovich, and David Adelman, in some cases you're not even at your season win total.

And some of you're way below it. Others, you're just sort of getting by. So let's throw those guys in at the bottom. But if you take the top five, based on betting criteria, right, the expectations of the market versus your performance, J.B. Bakerstaff, you took that as the only criteria. J.B. Bacerstaff and Joe Mazzula should not be winning this award, right? Now, in the case of the other three guys, Mitch Johnson, Charles Lee, and Jordan. Mitch Johnson has Wembenyama. So, sorry, Mitch. You're just not going to get the credit. Guess what? This is the penalty of getting, getting the opportunity to coach Victor Wembeyanama. Yes. So I guess that so i guess that so for me then it's the age old thing of if you're a voter and and keep in mind we have no

idea if the betting market reflects reality you have j bickerstaff pistons have the best record in the

eastern conference you have joe mazula who overcame the absence of Jason Tatum, to have the Celtics

just behind the Pistons in the Eastern Conference standings. But in the case of Charles Lee and Jordan,

not, right? You have a Hornets team that is playoff bound. You have a Sun's team that is,

how can I put this, playinbound?

Playinbound, right? And by the way, the Hornets are also play inbound.

Yeah.

So both teams are play inbound.

But they have clearly in terms of what was expected of their teams, despite the

narratives with the Pistons in the Celtics, done much better.

How many voters are going to think our way versus the narrative way?

I don't know.

I'm just saying, is there a bet at 40 to 1 and 50 to 1? I probably. going to think our way versus the narrative way. I don't know.

I'm just saying, is there a bet at 40 to 1 and 50 to 1?
