Thanks for making us a part of your day. However, you may be tuning in. Sirius XM Channel 158, YouTube TV, the Visa Watch app, and radio affiliates across the United States of God bless America. Thursday brings us an awesome card in the association. A couple of really intriguing NBA games. I guess one really intriguing NBA game, because I don't know

0:37.8

what to do with your Lakers and the Thunder. Let's begin talking about the Cavs and the Pistons

0:42.6

here, my friend, because this series, it doesn't quite make sense to me. When the odds opened up,

0:49.0

I was anticipating wanting to back Detroit as some semblance of an underdog, but they open to minus 120 favorite

0:55.1

to win the series. They win game one. They cover the three and a half point spread. Game goes

1:00.2

under the total of 216, final score 116 to 94. And when you look at these two teams on paper,

1:07.0

take the odds out of the equation here, Will. Who's the better team? Is it Cleveland or is it Detroit?

1:12.6

Cleveland by a nose hair.

1:16.6

And I think it's a fascinating handicap just because on one hand,

1:20.6

Detroit has the best player in the series in Cunningham and they have home court.

1:24.6

When you got the best player and you got home court,

1:26.6

you know, more times than not you're going to win the series. But I do think Cleveland has a better overall team. I like their half court offense better than the piston. So to me, it would be Cleveland plus the points or nothing. But honestly, the best bet out of all this stuff when you're looking at the game, I prefer to just take a bigger picture view and look at the series. And look, you and I kind of agree here, kind of a toss up between these two teams. You can nitpick in terms of this team has this strength or that weakness. Caves and seven is plus 620. To me, this is a 6th, probably a 7 game series. And you know what? I don't look at

2:01.8

Cleveland and say no way they can win in Detroit on the road in game seven. To me, I just like the bang for your buck. You know what? Get me to a game seven. I'll take the six to one or a little north of that price tag. I think we're looking at a very long series, a coin flip. And again, both teams have certain advantages certain weaknesses disadvantages however you want to put it

2:18.9

but i think this is a coin flip series and should go the distance. Yeah, I mean, you look at game two and the odds are pretty much identical. You've got Detroit laying three and a half, a total of two 15 and a half. I kind of like the under here, but I'd be inclined to take the points with Cleveland. They can't really look worse than they did in game one. Now they have to clean up some things, right? The turnovers are weird. And James Harden treating these playoff games like they're a road trip in the middle of December at like Sacramento. It's really odd to me, especially with what's on the line for him. I asked Polly Howard this on Follow the Money earlier this week, Will, so I'll ask you, can you ever remember like an all-time great? And I know people don't like to hear that, but James Hardin's going to be a Hall of Famer when all is said and done. But can you remember an all-time great in any sport that's been a bigger loser in clutch moments than James Hardin. I can't really come up with one because

3:08.9

most of them eventually get over the hump and do win one later in their careers. But when you,

3:13.4

when you compare and contrast the greatness of Hardin with the clutch moments and the failures,

3:18.0

he kind of stands alone.

3:21.6

Kershaw.
