I hope your Monday is going fabulously well and in fact it can be even better with Dura las batteries. They're proven tough and designed to stand up to even the most extreme weather conditions with patented technology to deliver the most power during startup.

So I'm going to go to 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 had some good moves on the gambling picks.

But as much as I love the NBA and I absolutely love the NBA playoffs. 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.

The the wizards and the Celtics all battling desperately to get to capitated in the Eastern Conference finals and the Western Conference finals. I don't know what's happened to the calves. 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 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 slipped 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 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 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 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 dominate like they did but they took control of the Raptors and that series not even close we the North indeed. Yeah you got wrecked the North absolutely dominated by the Cavs and LeBron James and now even though we've got a two game two game series tie here and I think the wizards are fun to watch the Celtics are fun to watch is not a bad series.

I feel like we're watching a team compete to get 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 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 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 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 you look at the otherwise larger universe of sports right now in the NFL.

By and large if you make the playoffs if you're one of the 12 teams of 32 NFL teams that are fortunate enough to make the playoffs and you've got a decent quarterback so we can talk.

Talk to us Brock Oswiler to the curb. We can toss Connor cook to the curb because of the injury to Derek Carr.

By and large if you have a decent quarterback and you make the playoffs and most of the times if you make the playoffs you do have a decent quarterback.

You can come out of the wild card and win the Super Bowl.

Anybody can win the Super Bowl if you make the NFL playoffs anybody can win in Major League baseball if you make the Major League baseball playoffs anybody can win in the NCAA tournament as long as really you're a top 16 seed right it's wide open anything can happen.

Anything can happen theoretically in the college football playoff we've already seen the four C.O. Ohio State Buckais with their third string quarterback who by the way graduated this weekend.

Cardell Jones coming out of nowhere and pulling off two straight upsets to win the title right we've seen it there we certainly know that in hockey where the Nashville predators have somehow as what should be the overall eight seed in the west now favored to either beat Edmonton or Anaheim in the Western conference finals they come out of nowhere they've gone eight and two once the playoffs actually started.

We know already because the L.A. Kings did it that as an eight seed you can win the actual Stanley Cup if you make the playoffs you have a chance to win everywhere that is except for the NBA where virtually zero chance if you aren't one of the top two teams or one of the top two or three teams there's no point to playoffs 16 teams make the NBA playoffs 14 of them I firmly believe this have virtually a zero percent chance barring injury barring and injury look at LeBron James tweaks and ankle and he's going to make a lot of money.
