| 0:34.1 | Get in the zone auto zone. We're always in the zone here without kick the coverage. I am Clay Travis. Hope your weekend went well. And I'll tell you this much. |
| 0:42.0 | Had some good moves on the gambling picks. But as much as I love the NBA and I absolutely love the NBA playoffs. |
| 0:52.1 | This is the most boring NBA playoffs that we have ever seen when it comes to figuring out who's going to actually win the championship. |
| 0:59.7 | Right now we got the spurs in the rockets. We got the the wizards and the Celtics all battling desperately to get |
| 1:08.6 | decapitated in the Eastern Conference finals and the Western Conference finals. I don't know what's happened to the calves. |
| 1:15.2 | I wasn't a believer. You guys can remember me coming on this show and saying I thought they were going to have trouble with the |
| 1:19.9 | Pacers. I took me a long time to realize that I need to bet against them. I bet against them in the first three games of that series. I finally |
| 1:27.2 | swept flipped it in the Raptor series. I didn't think they had the defensive intensity. I thought whatever Mojo they had working chemistry wise was not |
| 1:35.1 | connecting. I didn't believe that they were going to come in and win eight in a row in the NBA playoffs like they have. I didn't think that |
| 1:41.8 | LeBron James is going to be able to take his game to another level. More importantly, I didn't think that the Cleveland Cavaliers were suddenly going to find |
| 1:48.6 | themselves after playing 82 regular season games and going 51 and 31 and finishing second overall in the East. I didn't think they were going to come out and |
| 1:57.4 | dominate like they did, but they took control of the Raptors and that series not even close. We the North indeed. Yeah, you got |
| 2:04.8 | wrecked the North absolutely dominated by the calves and LeBron James and now even though we've got a two game two game series tie here. |
| 2:14.2 | And I think the look the wizards are fun to watch the Celtics are fun to watch. It's not a bad series. I feel like we're watching a team compete to get |
| 2:21.3 | to capitated. Somebody's going to get Ned Stark in the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference and it doesn't matter what happens in these |
| 2:27.9 | series. So it's hard for me to sit around and say, Oh, I'm excited. Now tonight we got the Warriors playing. And we got the Warriors playing against the jazz and the thing is even if they lose the warriors that is you know, |
| 2:39.4 | they're going to come back and win in game five. And then they're going to be sitting around with their their their feet kicked up waiting to see what's going to happen with the |
| 2:46.3 | rockets and the spurs. Do you feel confident in any way that the rockets the spurs the Celtics or the wizards have any hope of advancing to the NBA finals. The answer is no. And this is what I've been saying from the get go. This is the real flaw of the overall playoffs when it comes to the NBA. |
