| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Early Edge. We're brought to you by BedMGM. Make it legendary. We've got a great show for you today. We're going to cover soccer. We're going to cover some PGA. We've got the one and done dice roll, some MLB, of course, with some early action and, of course, some NBA. |
| 0:25.4 | Let's see how we did yesterday, courtesy of the recap screen and Bed Winstein. We go six in four. |
| 0:32.0 | Mikey B. Two for two. Sniper O for two, but keep in mind, it appears that Michaelis got pulled |
| 0:37.2 | from that start. Martin Green two for two, and the sports line picks go two out of three. We see Zach lost that Hornets play, minus five and a half. In spite of the fact, that Bamadabaiio didn't play a majority of that game. Let's bring in the stars of the show. I do want to get to some picks right away, but I do also want to get just a little bit |
| 0:55.5 | of reaction. And what I thought was like a pretty blatant cheap shot from Lamello Ball to BAM out of bio. Prop stars, I've got you, I've got Mike McClure, I've got basketball people on.

| 1:13.2 | The heat hang tough. |
| 1:14.9 | They were competitive throughout. |
| 1:17.6 | Lamello was very inefficient from the field. |
| 1:21.2 | Did not shoot the ball particularly well. |
| 1:24.1 | But then down the stretch, obviously, when it mattered most, came up huge. |
| 1:28.7 | So that was a season-defining moment, in my opinion. |
| 1:32.4 | We're watching a young team really blossom in these Hornets. |
| 1:36.8 | So very impressed with the performance. |
| 1:38.9 | It was very gutsy at the end. |
| 1:40.8 | Mike, your response. |
| 1:42.4 | Yeah, I would say definitely cheap shot. the more you slow the video feed down, |
| 1:46.8 | the more, you know, it doesn't look good. |
| 1:49.0 | The only counterpoint that I would make is, you know, |
| 1:52.0 | Lamello was on the way to the ground himself. |
