To the association tonight, Joe. Pistons and the Celtics, a 1.5 point favorite for the Celtics tonight over the Pistons and a total of 230.5. What's your spread line for some NBA action tonight? Well, I mean, listen, the Pistons are sitting at 25. Nobody's talking about them, Don, in the Eastern Conference. I mean, and they think they are the best team by far in the Eastern Conference, and at this point, I, I mean, what can you say, they've won 20 of their 1st 25 games. I mean, that's the second best start in a pretty illustrious franchise history here. So, yeah, I, I, there's no arguing, they're very good. Boston has also been way better than people thought they were gonna be without. Jayson Tatum, uh, they are coming off a terrible loss here, uh, in which they kind of got embarrassed, uh, in, uh, in their last game. But they are looking to bounce back. They are at home. We have seen these two in a pretty high scoring affair. This one, Donnie, we saw early opened up for Detroit. We're starting to see a little more over money. I think, yeah, I think it's gonna be raining 3s in this game. I think the over is the best look in this one. Close line on that one, Joe. Close line on another game in the association tonight. The Rockets and the Nuggets, a -1.5 point favorite for the Nuggets here and a total of 235.5. Rockets, Nuggets, good game tonight, 9:30 start. What's your spread line here? Yeah, these are two other teams in the West that will contend. Denver hasn't played a home game in 2 weeks, Donnie. 2 weeks, and now they get to go home and take on Durant and the Rockets. This is much-watched television, but more money coming in on Denver than Houston right now. Uh, I gotta tell you, uh, one of the more enjoyable semi-final matchups there between the Spurs. And OKC and coach, I'm just, I'm glad that maybe we have a, finally, a rivalry where two teams don't like one another would be fantastic. And that is exactly what it looked like. Webayama called game on OKC and OKC is screaming about the refs, which is hilarious to me. Uh, what did you think, uh, and what is the ceiling for the Spurs team this year? Well, I, I thought that they were gonna make the playoffs and be in the top 6 possibly before the start of the season. It all comes down to can Wendy play you 65 games. If he gives you 65 games, you look at that storyline now that they're kind of healthy, right? And you look at obviously, uh, Fox and Castle in the backcourt. Stefan Castle was absolutely outstanding, uh, in the semifinal, uh, matchup. Then you go to that front court, you know, with Wemy, with the less Wonder, uh, you know, and Harrison Barnes with Devin Vassell, kind of three-guard left. And then you go like Dylan Harper, Sohan, um, you know, uh, Julian Champpei off the bench, Luke Cornett. Guys, they're secretly one of the deepest teams in the league right now and no one's talking about it. As regards to the game, good. We need it. We need someone to step up in the Western Conference that can make you look at Oklahoma City and say, oh, they could lose this game. Now, things have to go right for San Antonio. And I think the best thing I saw as I turned to out of growth is that 13 to 0 run to end the second quarter. That game was tearing or getting out and that's what they do. Either late second quarter, early third quarter, Oklahoma City throws that punch, you can't punch back and it's game over. What they did is they threw the punch at the end of the half and they ran through it again the beginning of the second half, and then you had to suffer a game. Kudos to coach Johnson and the Spurs for getting into the finals. Yeah, we got the finals tomorrow night, coach, San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks. The Knicks serve as a slight favorite here at 2.5 here, a total of 227.5. We certainly look forward to that one, coach. But sometimes in the NBA we like to look off the court more than on the court. Give me the latest cause I haven't heard as much since the injury. Giannis Anthonyopo, the Milwaukee Bucks. Is it fractured? Are we looking for movement now? Is Giannis resigned to leaving or can they make amends and he's back and playing for Milwaukee the rest of the season? If I'm Giannis and I'm home in Milwaukee, Athens, his place in New York City, wherever he is, And I watched you lose by 47 to the Nets yesterday. I'm like, bro, I ain't go, I, I'm, I'm like George and Weezy, you gotta move me on up cause I can't stay there in that environment as bad as they are. So at the end of the day, it's not gonna be if, Donnie, it's gonna be when, when does when, when, when is, when, if he plays, man, oh my lord, when does Giannis pull the trigger? And I think the thing is this, there's rumors going around that other teams may not be involved. So now if you're a team like the Knicks, you sit back and you just watch and see what happens. But at the end of the day, the way New York is playing right now, and it's Anthony Townsend where he played in the semifinals, does New York want to mess up that chemistry now that they're finally playing better? It's interesting. Interesting times, but I'll tell you this, at the end of the day, you know who should not be in Milwaukee? That is Glenn Doc Rivers, the master of messing up ham sandwiches, and he done did it again, and this is not your blimpy's best if you know what I'm saying. So to me, you need to start over, look for a trade, and then obviously get Doc up out of there and start over. Yeah, well laid back, yeah, do we think the Knicks, uh, pull this out here tomorrow night, uh, coach? Are they your NBA Cup champs? Uh, or do you think the Spurs and that depth are gonna win out? It's gonna be interesting. Now, the Knicks do have some injury concerns, namely Deuce McBride, who should not be playing. So to me, I still like the Knicks. You know, I do like guys. I like the under, which is kind of weird because you're talking about a Mike Brown team that's starting to play a lot better defense. Look for that game to be, um, a chip to fight. I look for the game to go under. Knicks probably sneak it out in the end. Coach, real quick, college basketball topic question. Michigan looks like they are destruction, terror, and mayhem every night. How long can this go on for Michigan where they're just pummeling teams? It, it ain't even right. I mean, what they did over the weekend was, was absolutely criminal, but it's really, it's a two-team race right now, guys. It's Arizona and it's Michigan that's clearly ahead of everyone else. But let's see how these portal teams, Saint John's, Kentucky, can they start to rape the ship as the season goes along. There we go. He's the coach. He knows what he's talking about college basketball, NBA action. His Knicks are in the cup final tomorrow night. Raise the banner at MSG. Coach, take us to break with a fadeaway pump fake release rotation splash. By the way, you want to make some big money here, Joe. Take a look at this. The NBA pro basketball All-Star market right now. Giannis. Anthony Copo, 99%. Nikola Jokic, 94%. Cade Cunningham, 91%. As a matter of fact, Joe, I'm clicking on these numbers like, hey, let me get Jokic's number for 100 bucks. They don't even let you play it out because of how easy he's gonna get into there. How about that, Joe? Easy does it here. Jalen Brunson, come on. Who, who are betting in this market? Everybody's in. That's absurd. So you're talking about somebody named to the All-Star team. Oh my goodness, save the money. Save the money. Name it to the All-Star game. You can't even bet on Giannis. And by the way, this is what I always found fun about the All-Star market. Giannis has been hurt just about damn near half the season. Why is he an All-Star? Shouldn't be able to qualify at this point. This is the way it is, man. For me, I'm gonna head to the NBA, Joe, the Dallas Mavericks, and the Utah Jazz. Nobody wants the Utah Jazz except for your boy DRS. How about 30% of the tickets coming in on the Jazz as a favorite for the Mavericks at -3 at the opening number. We're down to 2.5 and 1.5. Give me the 2.5 tonight on the Jazz, cash in both of these tickets. Let's head into the weekend. We'll see you bright and early on a Tuesday morning.
