| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everyone, happy Monday, and welcome to the Early Edge. |
| 0:12.9 | My name is Sienajad, otherwise known as the counselor of cash. |
| 0:15.9 | And this show, as you know, is brought to you by BetMGM, Make It Legendary. |
| 0:23.5 | I got to tell you what, we did the recap screen for our special Saturday show from Friday. Let's take a look at the Monday recap screen from the |
| 0:29.6 | Saturday show. Now, our picks, our basketball picks for March Madness went four and one. |
| 0:35.2 | But don't forget, Brady Cannon was on the show earlier in the |
| 0:38.3 | week last week. He had a top 40 play at Plus Money, which did not hit, but he did hit Matt Fitzpatrick |
| 0:44.4 | at 15 to 1 to win the vows bar. So we go five and two, which includes a plus 1,500, but a shout out |
| 0:51.0 | to our March Maddeness peeps. I took the loss, but Chip Patterson, Eric Cohen, and the others, Tom Casale, ended up hitting their pick. So it was a very good weekend. Let's bring in the stars of the show and make it a great week because we got Larry Hartstein. We got prop stars. We got Calvin Wetzel to talk some women's hoops. And we've got Mikey B. Prop stars, I do want to start with you. It's going to be a |
| 1:11.6 | very big basketball day on this particular show. Before we get to Picks, though, can you talk to me |
| 1:17.8 | about the San Antonio Spurs? Absolutely. Yeah, what the Spurs are doing right now, it's just so impressive. |
| 1:24.4 | They've won 20 of their last 22 games. The turnaround from last season to this season, |
| 1:30.5 | last season they won 38 games. This year, they're 53 wins thus far. Legitimately might win |
| 1:38.5 | 60 games, but just so impressive watching this team develop. They're still extremely young. |
| 1:44.9 | I think they're a legitimate title contender. |
| 1:46.9 | Certainly the odds would reflect that as well. |
| 1:49.3 | I also think it's the most San Antonio thing ever that they're kind of flying under the radar, |
| 1:54.3 | considering how good they've been. |
| 1:56.3 | But yeah, and I also like to just ponder about the Spurs quite a bit. |
| 2:00.9 | And I think back to Tim Duncan, who in my opinion is a top five player in NBA history. |
| 2:06.1 | I think he has a strong case to be the greatest defender, certainly over the last 30 years. |
| 2:11.1 | And Tim Duncan never won a defensive player of the year award. |
