Good morning, everyone.

Welcome to the Early Edge, brought to by BetMGM, another great show on the way in a great game one in the NBA.

We're going to talk about that to lead the show because I have a feeling

Danny Brasco has some words, but let's look at the recap screen to see how we did yesterday.

Now, I will point out the Discord pick is not on here.

We will have a separate recap for the Discord picks when we're doing this recap.

So we're going to build off of that.

It's one basket away from hitting.

But again, that one didn't hit.

We go four and four overall. Larry Hartstein, two for two. Sportsline pick hits from a prop bet guy. That one hit early. And Sniper goes one for two as the Phillies win, but they don't cover the run line. I've got a pick coming up or that's going right now, Jordan Speath. He's up about four strokes with nine to play. So we'll see how that goes. Let's bring in the stars of the show.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we're going to. or that's going right now, Jordan Speath. He's up about four strokes with nine to play.

So we'll see how that goes. Let's bring in the stars of the show. Ladies and gentlemen, we're down one. Tom Casale wasn't able to make the show today, but we do have his pick. We have Mike McClure traveling back into Kansas City. We have Matt Snyder and, oh, look at here. We have what looks to be a very confident Danny Brasco.

Danny Brasco.

Danny Brasco, Knicks win game one.

I give you the talking points right now.

We were plus 160 dogs.

We had won 11 straight playoff games, record run in dominant fashion, double-digit wins.

What are they talking about?

What they're going to say now, see ya, Come on. Obviously, the Knicks hype and fandom is exploding New York City. And a lot of the time, people think we're delusional because we downright are. It's straight up true. But not this year. This team has so much heart, so much fight. Every time the Spurs had a momentum shift, they had a run, it kind of felt like we were getting dominated the whole first half, we couldn't get a call from the refs. Yet still, the Knicks were just battling, down two, down six, never out of the game. And the second we make a run, when we throw that counterpunch, teams go to sleep. You can't play with the New York Knicks heart, baby. Steel home court, game one, blouses. Speaking of putting people to sleep, you've got some UFC picks later in the show. Sniper, we were talking pre-show about the New York Knicks, and you know, you don't fancy yourself an NBA expert by any means, but you were a little surprised by everybody talking about, hey, the Spurs are going to just kind of like run away with game one. Like I said, I tried to push back in the chat yesterday a little bit on the some of the rust talk because the rest in the NBA, this isn't like the major league baseball war. It's a rhythm sport and you have to play every day or you might get out of rhythm. Like I thought the Knicks had a huge advantage coming in

with their rest while Spurs had to deal with OKC for seven games in an absolute war. So this was the

one where you thought, okay, the Knicks probably have the best chance to steal one on the road
