And let's go ahead and tell you as well, dear last batteries proven tough and designed to stand up to even the most extreme weather conditions with patented technology to deliver the most power during startup get in the zone auto zone.

0:26.0

Well, the calves are in the zone.

0:28.0

Remember how I said well, maybe maybe the calves are questionable. Maybe they aren't very good. I didn't even think even think in the first series against the Indiana Pacers, which they won in four games, but one by 16 points and could have.

0:41.0

Could have really lost three of those four games, even though they won them all and the one game that they won.

0:49.0

They were down 25 points at the half in the one game that they won and substantially covered against the line. They went one and three against the spread in their first four games.

1:00.0

This series is over against the Raptors. Wrap it up throw it on the throw it on them. The dustbin of history. This series is done.

1:10.0

The Raptors came in thinking, oh, you know, we had the same record as the calves in the regular season. We got past the bucks in the first round.

1:19.0

We're ready to prove that we're an elite level team. And then they've run into LeBron James and the calves and LeBron James has dominated them to such extent that the biggest controversy so far from this series has been LeBron picking up a lady's beer.

1:33.0

And then getting upset at the company for trying to use his image associated with the brand. I mean, it has been nothing short of disaster for the Toronto Raptors, Raptors.

1:45.0

And luckily last night for the NBA, the spurs came back and took care of the rockets. And at least gave some semblance of an idea that there might be.

1:58.0

And I say might be a series that actually has some suspense in the final four series here of the NBA and the conference semi finals.

2:11.0

We'll see whether or not that can change a little bit whether the wizards can get the win tonight, whether it's not going to happen.

2:19.0

I was going to say whether the jazz can beat the Warriors, but the Warriors are 13 point favorites tonight. You would know as well as I do that even if the jazz beat the Warriors, it's still going to be a five game series.

2:29.0

I mean, the jazz against the Warriors is pretty much already over. Assume the Warriors are going to win tonight. That series is over.

2:37.0

Again, the calves are advancing the Raptor series is over. And the only series that potentially could be entertaining, I think in terms of going seven games or maybe even six games is right now the rockets against the spurs.

2:52.0

We go back to Houston now tied up at one game each. The rest of the games are not going to be very interesting. I don't believe.

3:00.0

And again, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the Raptors are going to come back and win two games that be shocked by it. Maybe the wizards are going to come back and win two games. That's perhaps more believable. Certainly nobody is really going to give the Warriors a run.

3:14.0

I don't even think, especially if it's spurs advance, like I don't think the spurs can hang with them. I don't think the rockets can either.

3:20.0

I think it's possible. I don't think it's likely because because I think the Warriors are just going to get bored at some point and lose a game because the teams are playing against are pretty good.

3:31.0

I think it's possible that the Warriors go 40404040 to roll into the championship, the finals and the NBA against the calves.

3:45.0

And then I think they'll win that one in four and five or six games. Again, I think the Warriors could go whatever the math on that is 16 and two or better in the NBA playoffs this year. That's how dominant I think they are.
