Right now, we are having a little bit of fun today.

My name is Karen to Harrison.

Happy to be here with you on this wonderful, wonderful Friday.

Coming up in just a bit, we are going to be joined by Ron the show Hugley.

He does radio out of Houston. He's going to be on the show here

coming up in a little bit. Really happy to catch up with him and have him join us on the show.

We were just talking about the odds right now in the Eastern Conference. And in the Eastern

Conference, they have Cleveland right now as the favorite in the East, which just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Now, I understand that Cleveland is hot right now, but we have seen way too many examples that the regular season version of a team is not the postseason version of a team.

So I'm looking at this Cleveland Cavaliers team and very simple. You want me to believe in James

Hardin in the postseason? I got way too much evidence that that is the absolute wrong thing to do.

So I am staying away from them as plus 280.

I'm staying away from the Pistons at plus 360.

I just, usually in the NBA, you kind of got to go through cycles.

You don't really get to cut the line in the NBA for the most part. Like, you don't get to be the New England Patriots, for example. You don't get to be a four-win team, and then all of a sudden you find yourself in the Super Bowl. It's not really how the NBA works. You're a 35-win team. Then you go to 42 wins, and then you lose in the first round. Then you lose in the Eastern Conference finals. Then you go to 42 wins and then you lose in the first round.

Then you lose in the Eastern Conference finals. Then you go to the NBA finals. So I kind of think the Pistons got to pay their dues a little bit more. The Cavs have James Hardin on their team. I love the Celtics at 3 to 1. I think that's the best bet you can make in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks, they're the Knicks. I mean, we all know how this story is going to end.

Let's head to the phone lines right now.

It's up to end. Let's head to the phone lines right now to talk to somebody who is very, very familiar with James Hardin. Ron, the show, Hughley, he does afternoons in Houston. Ron, how you doing today, my man? I'm good, man. I know you just pissed off a lot of Knicks fans, by the way, you just flippantly just dismissed them as just being the Knicks. I mean, that was,

I mean, you just flippantly just dismissed them as just being the Knicks. I mean, the way you did that, if I was a Knicks fan, I'd be smoking hot the way you just said this. Ron, they're the Knicks. Come on now. I mean, you really, you tell me, you believe in this Knicks team. You were telling me that when we get to May and June, you think the Knicks are going to the,
