0:49.9

Great weekend. Now look at this number here in the Philadelphia game. And you're a big spot player in the association. That definitely is a thing in the regular season. Can be as well in the postseason,

2:19.3

although the zigzag thing, which was gold for, I don't know, 20 years is maybe a thing in the past. At least this postseason has been bad, although there's different versions. People think it's just, bet whoever loses. It's like that's not, that's so elementary. I know. You don't need a theory for that. Like people are trying to like say I'm like selectively picking like what this exact exact. These people are morons. It's not just whoever lost you bet on it. Like it doesn't work that way. Right. Okay. So Philly now coming off two straight losses in the series up to three and a half as we speak. O.G's not going to give it a go tonight. we've talked about this. There's a human element to this. One Philly, in this case, desperate, and therefore it leads to loose balls, initiating contact, i.e. fouls on the other team. It's not just the refs or the league is trying to orchestrate, in this case, the Knicks to lose a game to extend the series so the league can get revenue money. No, it's energy and effort initiate and draw contact and fouls and loose balls and everything. So that's typically what happens. I just think, I mean, look, the Nix has won five straight games, okay? We saw some regression in the last game, right? They didn't cover. They could have with the free throws at the end, the original line, the opener prior to and beat status. Look, it's not a no-brain. I think you just have to play the Sixers. There is an element in the NBA playoffs of taking a leap of faith, right? First round, we had to do that a couple times with the Raptors in game three. Don't overthink it, I thought they should have been favored in that game. Here, Philly was pick them and I was looking at the line yesterday. I just thought it was the dumbest line in the world. Even with OG playing, does it mean it's guaranteed? No, I don't have tomorrow's newspaper. But I just think you have to take this leap of faith. Nick Nurse also, remember, he left the team between games one and two for his brother's funeral in Iowa. I just think the stars are aligned. It'll be a great atmosphere. And I just think you have to kind of take a leap of faith here with Philly. Only for the full game, though. Correct. Yeah. I mean, there is attacks on the first quarter in the first half. Sometimes you can get too cute. Like I just mentioned the Raptors Cavs game three in the previous round. It was tight throughout the game. And then they blew them out by 20. It was that second unit that began the fourth quarter, battle. And some other guys were really the difference in that game. You don't know how it plays out. It could be a blowout from the start. And they could cover the full wheel. But I'm just playing the game here. I think it's execution down the stretch. Sometimes I look at this stuff through like a gas tank of energy. Sometimes the Knicks hang around and expend all their energy in the first two or three quarters. Any props in this game or have they gotten a little bit out of control? Well, I think the town thing, you guys nailed it. It's out of control, I think, at this point with the juice because these games can get away. You know, like game two, which was a blowout for the Spurs and T-Wolves, we could see a blowout in this game and then the props get away from you. So obviously there's a domino effect with OG playing as well with the town's assist and stuff.

3:41.3

So that is a factor.

3:42.7

But the Paul George, I mean, the juice moves pretty significantly on the over two and a half made three.

3:47.4

So that's my apprehension.

3:49.1

I think because of the spot and OG being out and the potential of a blowout here,

3:54.0

I'm laying off the props across the board here.

3:56.2

When do you think we see OG?
