Follow follow the Money.

0:02

That's what I always say, you always follow. Yeah, Yeah,

0:04

this is Follow the Money with Mitch Moss and

0:06

Paul Howard on VSON.

0:11

Here we go.

0:12

It is Follow the Money on VSON,

0:14

the Sports Betty Network. This show is brought

0:16

to you by DraftKings, Mitch Moss, PAULI

0:18

Howard live in downtown Las Vegas

0:21

from the Circa Resort and Casino

0:23

busy three hours lined up today. In thirty

0:25

minutes, Jeff Seely on his best bets

0:28

for the PGA Tour event which starts in

0:30

about fifty minutes from my Now, who's gonna come

0:32

on right before the event? Give you his bets?

0:35

Bam and that bad boy begins. Howard

0:37

Eskin on the program. A little later, on Huge Night

0:39

Tonight Sixers and the

0:42

Knicks playing in Game six Mike Palman Studio

0:44

and Johnny Vello on the derby.

0:46

We will get into tonight's

0:49

card coming up in about fifteen minutes. I think

0:51

it's pretty safe to say we're going to have more drama than

0:53

last night. NBA wise, anyway,

0:55

it was not very entertaining. Ball

0:58

games were blowouts, including the Boss Celtics,

1:01

and I guess that's what it looks like when the Miami Heat

1:03

shoot poorly from downtown and the Celtics

1:06

a game is just, you know, to go wire

1:08

to wire. I'm pretty much anybody in the NBA when

1:10

they play well. On top of it, the Heat made

1:12

twenty three threes in their

1:14

one game their win win the series, twenty

1:16

three. They combined

1:18

to make twenty one for the rest of the series. Yep,

1:21

they were three of twenty nine last night. See

1:23

you later, have fun in the offseason. We'll check

1:25

you out next year. Yeah, And the

1:27

Celtics were just that game was over with you

1:30

want to call it in the first quarter or do you want to throw in the

1:32

towel early second quarter because

1:35

it got to a thirty point lead. Yet again, I

1:37

have some ridiculous numbers on Boston

1:39

coming up here in a few minutes.

1:40

I couldn't believe that prop largest lead was seventeen

1:42

and a half. Still again, you know, and they both

1:44

fly over. But we're considering

1:46

it was going to be a blowout. And you got the hot Kez news all

1:49

right before the game as well. But that was a great

1:51

call by you with White. But that was a

1:53

good script where you thought maybe Howser was

1:55

going to be the leading scorer because the game was over

1:58

early in the second quarter. And that's all

2:00

she wrote on the pregame on TNT for DraftKings.

2:03

We gave out the over which that

2:05

became a sweat, and that was a bad result

2:07

in play because you got off

2:09

to the forty one to twenty three start in

2:12

the first quarter and then it died in the fourth.

2:14

Court, totally died. Was mop up duty.

2:16

So the two elevens and the two nines and the two

2:18

O sevens, everything in play loses, and it

2:20

just gets there with the and one late with thirty seconds.

2:23

But even the way the pregame number

2:25

on the total, the way it moved and shifted through it today,

2:27

yeah, ping ponging around two to

2:29

one and a half. You saw two two down to

2:32

one ninety nine in that range. I

2:34

saw it close to one and a half in many spots, and

2:36

then you actually kind of needed a miracle to go over.

2:38

Yes you did. Yes, a really

2:40

wild game from a standpoint with that, but

2:43

they are so good and again we're talking about the

2:45

most number one offense in NBA history

2:47

in terms of efficiency, Like Hally doesn't even

2:49

do anything, gives you eight nine points, but

2:51

the emergence of White the last couple

2:53

of years, but specifically this year, and to go

2:56

for thirty eight and then twenty five last night,

2:58

bombs away from three to Okay,

3:00

Tatum chips in, you'll give me sixteen.

3:03

But the depth and you don't even

3:05

have Porzingis in the next round shouldn't

3:07

be a problem against the winner of Orlando and Cleveland.

3:10

You would think that just get ready for the conference

3:12

finals. Now. The bad news would be that

3:15

this is the three week This is three weeks

3:17

now for Freak and he's doubtful

3:20

tonight, So I don't want to

3:22

expect Porzingis again, like I said

3:24

yesterday, until late in the conference

3:26

finals. Right, if he has the same injury

3:28

and this is now an elimination game

3:31

for Freak and he's unlikely to play, that's

3:33

bad news for Porzingis. But they shouldn't

3:35

have to shouldn't need him until the finals.

3:37

You would think that they would be able to get by Orlando,

3:40

although over the years, like last year, Orlando

3:42

gave Boston fits when they played

3:44

beat them a couple of times. Cavaliers.

3:47

Who knows what's gonna happen with Allen, but they should

3:49

be just way too much for Cleveland. You would think this

3:51

will not come back to Dingham. I don't think and tell the

3:53

like you're spot on. I mean, if you would happen to miss and

3:56

it's for any of these teams, right, if Porzingis misses

3:58

a game or two against any

4:00

of the Knicks, Bucks or

4:03

seventy six ers, my Pacers, maybe whatever,

4:06

that could come back to hurt him at that point. But again last

4:08

night, again, here you go.

4:09

Some of the numbers.

4:10

They won the East by fourteen games, most

4:12

since nineteen seventy six, fifth

4:14

best scoring margin of all time. It tells you why

4:16

their power rating is so high future

4:18

numbers wise to win the Eastern Conference and

4:20

win the NBA Finals.

4:21

And the difference between one and two and two was

4:24

okay, see was staggering in the net

4:26

rating for.

4:26

What, yes, third best margin of victory

4:28

at home of all time. You mentioned best offense,

4:31

second most threes in the history of the

4:33

NBA.

4:35

More thirty point leads. Think

4:38

about that.

4:39

Thirty point leads now nineteen

4:41

after last night than ten point

4:43

deficits on the entire year. NBA

4:46

record eighteen twenty five point

4:49

wins now NBA record thirty eleven

4:53

thirty point wins and twenty two

4:55

to twenty point wins one twenty point

4:57

loss, all those numbers courtesy of

4:59

their exceptional play by play man Sean

5:01

Grandy. Those are just jaw

5:04

dropping, staggering. Get out

5:06

of the way now. When they got

5:08

beat by Miami in the second game, again it

5:10

was the heat shooting all those threes and were like, okay,

5:13

the Celtics. You got to take credit

5:15

to the Celtics for coming back to next three games

5:18

and never allowing Miami to breathe

5:20

again in the series. And that's what they need to

5:22

do against inferior foes. They should do that in the next

5:24

round too. The next round should be at

5:26

maximum a five game series.

5:28

Yeah, they caught breaks though, no Butler,

5:30

no Rogier, and no Hawk has in the last game at least,

5:32

But that was real. So the

5:34

other thing is the Kryptonite would be a close

5:36

game, and well, who's taken the

5:38

big shot game on the line, who gets the ball?

5:41

You have to run more stuff for White, just

5:43

how awesome this guy's been. But

5:45

you just see the embarrassment of riches and

5:47

how many guys can score, how many guys

5:50

can knock down shots?

5:51

How about that he was eighteen to one to be the highest

5:53

scorer last night, and he had it pretty much the whole game.

5:55

Coming off a thirty eight point game. I couldn't believe

5:57

the number.

5:58

So had that.

5:59

Also, here's deal, Jalen Brown

6:01

tied him with the most points twenty five. The book where I

6:03

bettered at. I had no idea what the house rules works. I don't

6:05

know too many books in Las Vegas had offered that bet. Anyway,

6:08

they happen to pay out in full last night. Oh

6:10

great, so I will gladly take.

6:11

It, yes, and then bam at twenty three,

6:14

maybe thought, But then with the blowout

6:16

they sit everybody as well. So yeah,

6:19

I don't think it should be a struggle in whoever

6:21

they play that comes out of the next series. But it's

6:23

just again I go back to do you

6:26

trust Missoula? What are you drawing up at

6:28

the end of a game? And who's taking the shot?

6:30

Right?

6:30

Yeah, they go think, I don't want to see that clock offense.

6:32

I want to see beautiful ball movement. Get

6:35

One thing too, is that they're gonna shoot forty threes

6:37

a game, as we question, So that's another thing the

6:39

off night. If they can't knock down threes what

6:41

does it look like? And our guys finally saying enough's

6:43

enough and they're going to penetrate and get to the hoop.

6:46

You can tell by watching Celtics games

6:48

when they might be in trouble, and that's when they go hero

6:51

ball and they go one on one isolation

6:53

and it's like Tatum taking over and Brown trying to do

6:55

that in every single position when they're not sharing the basketball.

6:58

That's when you know they might be in a little bit of trouble. To

7:00

your point again of like what it's if it's a

7:03

tie game five minutes ago, that's when

7:05

I'm scared with this team. So they

7:07

can't They don't want to be in many of those situations obviously.

7:09

Yeah, right, but it is staggering that

7:11

you don't get much from holiday and you don't need

7:14

much from on the offensive vent. Now you

7:16

could come back and point the finger at Milwaukee, what were

7:18

you doing? Or maybe another team should be involved

7:20

because you can't well, you can't make the trade and then

7:22

the guy goes up the arrival because

7:25

you're this is the one that was going to put you over the hump.

7:27

I trade and get Lillard what the guy I traded

7:29

him for? Is not on Boston, and Boston got

7:31

but they got rid of Brogden and Edward. Uh

7:35

what's his name? I forget the big guy. He's

7:37

always hurt. Uh,

7:41

they've been Brogden. Williams is, thank

7:43

you, but you lose Williams. Williams, Yeah,

7:46

Williams, you give. You lose Williams

7:48

and Brogden in the trade. But then you turn that

7:50

into poor zingis And.

7:52

It was an amazing off right right.

7:55

And then the other game, uh, complete

7:57

stinkbong by the Clippers. Oh god, So couple

8:00

of things here again the big three. You want

8:02

your Big three, go ahead and have it. I'll

8:05

do the exact opposite in the NBA moving forward,

8:07

So no kawhi last

8:10

night. This is from the Athletic.

8:13

Multiple Clippers from

8:15

the game last night were

8:17

awful. George four thirteen, hard and

8:20

two of twelve more and then a second Westbrook two

8:22

of eleven. It's the first time in NBA

8:24

history three players with nine plus All Star

8:26

appearances each all made

8:28

less than a third of their shots. James Harden, now,

8:30

folks, are you ready for this? Has the all

8:32

time record for most playoff

8:35

games shooting below twenty percent.

8:37

Oh no, how

8:40

do you like that. That's at the very top of

8:42

his resume. I don't care about anything else.

8:45

That one is in bold and it's

8:47

in extra large font.

8:50

Bam. Yeah, can't miss it.

8:51

This is where you blame the players, no doubt.

8:53

This is just since

8:56

Game one Westbrook four

8:58

and thirty two from the more

9:00

fouls and turnovers than madefield goals.

9:03

You look up at halftime, he's zero five and

9:05

he's minus ten. He played

9:07

so well last year in that first round against

9:10

Phoenix, a reason they were in that series

9:12

after Kawhi got hurt, and he has been dreadful

9:15

in this series, hardened with his stinker.

9:17

George. I mean, you get that kind of production in

9:20

the first half from Zubach and

9:22

what Man was able to do, but you're

9:24

down because he's got no help from

9:27

George Harden and Westbrook was terrible, and

9:29

then you lose by thirty in pivotal

9:31

Game five at home at home.

9:32

Oh Man, now you're an eight point

9:34

dog going back on the road to Dallas in

9:36

game six.

9:37

It's like, I can't get like an average game. They're

9:40

either unbelievable, yeah, or they can't throw

9:42

it in the ocean.

9:43

Paul, George, can

9:45

you another guy here that somehow

9:48

he gets swept under the rug

9:50

disaster in the playoffs more times

9:53

than not. Paul, It's exactly

9:55

what I'm thinking when I'm watching that game. I'm not asking

9:57

for forty five. I'm not asking for thirty

9:59

eight. Can you go out there and give them

10:01

twenty? Yeah, that's all we're looking for. Yeah,

10:03

that's all you maybe need. But just don't

10:06

throw up a two to twelve because you've

10:08

done it so many times in your life.

10:09

Get beyond that.

10:10

Nope, sorry, can't can't deliver, guys, I

10:12

can't give you the minimum you know, output

10:15

that we need laughing stock.

10:17

Yeah. The other problem is though you know again everyone

10:20

everyone knows he can't shoot, except Westbrook.

10:22

I mean, you're wide open for a reason. And the

10:25

guy still thinks it's ten years ago and he's a star.

10:27

And Okase, it's just that

10:29

he gets too many minutes and just been dreadful

10:32

in this series. And I know it. Harden's been

10:34

done that many times, as you point it out,

10:36

But what a time. We're all three guys

10:38

stink In the same game. You go to.

10:40

Dallas and they lose by thirty in game

10:42

four and you have a thirty point lead. Now

10:44

that evaporates. Dallas actually came

10:46

back to take the lead at some point, but you hung on and you played

10:48

well. George's three in the corner was amazing.

10:50

You won the game, and then you come back at home the next game

10:53

you lose by thirty.

10:54

I guess only in the NBA. Yeah,

10:57

that's just what a bad loss

10:59

last night, and in that

11:01

same city in the NHL, the King's got you're

11:03

telling me they have won a playoff series in ten years.

11:05

I bought that. They won their second Cup in twenty

11:07

fourteen. Ten straight years without winning

11:09

a playoff series. Made it five

11:11

three years in a row. They've lost to the Oilers in

11:14

the first round and they go out.

11:17

So that's just that's that's wild. I

11:19

mean ten years. I think that's that's staggering.

11:21

Also a little bit unlucky with the draw they are getting every

11:23

single year.

11:24

You could point the finger at this ridiculous format and

11:26

you have to get McDavid every year.

11:28

So we'll move ahead to tonight's action coming up

11:30

next. A lot of key people were hopeful for tonight,

11:33

but then the first injury report

11:35

dropped.

11:36

That's coming up on Follow the Money.

12:17

I don't think we're going to have Last Night again

12:19

in the NBA tonight, right I'm really going

12:22

out on a limb there, Paul. I think we're gonna have

12:24

tighter games, more drama. Say,

12:26

you know, edge of your seat for like two and a half hours for these

12:28

games, and we'll start with the second

12:30

game.

12:31

Actually, you notice this right away. It's

12:33

the late game tonight.

12:34

People are furious.

12:35

So nine o'clock on the East Coast. Yeah, six

12:38

six ercent home to the Knicks.

12:39

Well, you know how it goes, Mitch, nine to ten probably,

12:42

oh that first tip in this game.

12:43

Imagine if the first game goes to overtime,

12:46

what are they going to do with this game? M Wow, we

12:48

said nine to ten, but we really met nine to twenty

12:51

seven.

12:52

Yep. But by the way, so and what's

12:54

happened to this great city and sport. I mean, Harris

12:58

and the guy from Fanatic Ruben

13:00

have to come in and buy tickets so Knicks

13:02

fans.

13:03

Won't get them, and you believe that.

13:05

I mean, isn't this supposed to be a great sports

13:07

town. I mean the Knicks fan, I

13:09

know, the get in price again with six hundred and fifty

13:12

dollars for the last game in the Garden.

13:14

But this is that you have to

13:16

be that concern and worried about Knicks fans

13:19

take it over your arena again.

13:20

I know.

13:20

Here's the feedback that I got

13:22

from people in and around that city.

13:25

They said that on the secondary market, tickets

13:27

were going for five times face.

13:29

So people with season tickets were like, okay, but

13:31

you can't do that now.

13:32

You did it once, yes, right, and now you have to look

13:34

at what the team did in Game five to get

13:36

that win.

13:36

Get You have to look at yourself in the mirror today and say,

13:39

I can't sell my ticket tonight. I got to go to the game.

13:40

No good discussion. You can do it once or twice,

13:42

and once you pay for your actual season tickets, there

13:45

you go. That's fine. But this is why you have season

13:47

tickets. This is it, game

13:49

six series on the line. Come on, you're playing the Knicks

13:51

first time in twenty five years, and this is

13:54

how the brackets opened up. It's definitely

13:56

possible you make the conference finals even with

13:58

all the injuries and what you've had to deal with. So that's

14:01

absolutely right. But this between

14:03

the late start and this series has been awesome.

14:06

I mean to think where every game's been close,

14:08

the seventy six ers or plus two in

14:11

the series, and then the emergence

14:13

of Maxi and coming on that superstar

14:15

level. But what are you going to get

14:17

from the others in the supporting cast? That's the big

14:20

thing, because I know this why I'm not going

14:22

to get much out of m beat in the fourth quarter, right

14:24

between the injuries and what he's dealing with and

14:27

the conditioning and the turnovers.

14:29

If he sits as an unmitigated disaster.

14:32

Can Brunson continue to do this and show people

14:34

everyone has called them out not a superstar?

14:36

The contract was absurd. What are the Knicks

14:38

doing? I mean, they're right here, So this has

14:41

got all the makings here and just a fantastic

14:44

series and the fact that we could even be looking at

14:46

a seven game series.

14:47

So what do you want to do with the pregame number? Now?

14:48

Six Ers down to three some spots

14:51

three and a half on the game total is now below two

14:53

hundred in the game, I could now look at the over Really,

14:55

I couldn't do it. That last game played out like

14:57

a dead under and then it went to overtime again. Yeah, yeah,

15:00

what do you think the fourth quarter is going to be?

15:01

Like?

15:01

If it's tight, it's going to be twenty

15:03

two seconds off the shot clock on every possession.

15:05

Tight right, grind it out, probably

15:08

a miss offensive rebound. We set the shot clock

15:10

and that's how That's the way it's going to go, and that's the way

15:12

the series has been in my opinion while

15:14

watching the games. Also, I would like before

15:16

the tip tonight, I would like a little bit more than three with the

15:18

Knicks. So the game plan, like

15:21

we've talked about before in the series, could be the

15:23

Sixers have been so good with these hot

15:25

starts. My hope is to get out to

15:27

a ten point lead. I can grab a better number on the Knicks

15:30

when MB goes to the bench. But that

15:32

plan could be doa if

15:34

the Knicks are leading like twenty two to fourteen

15:36

late first quarter.

15:37

Yep, Well, how many stink bombs

15:39

we've talked? You know, we just got over hardened.

15:42

How many stink bombs has Philadelphia had in home

15:44

playoff games and in big home playoff

15:46

games with several no shows from their

15:48

key players?

15:49

Right?

15:49

I mean, you couldn't even beat the Hawks that one year, and then the

15:51

Simmons saga started. So something

15:54

I mentioned earlier when the series started,

15:56

the Knicks are the slowest team

15:58

in the league, so that helps out

16:00

and beat so we can get a blow and get

16:03

a rest too, or he doesn't have to work that hard. I

16:06

think the Knicks would be better off pushing the ball here

16:08

to wear him out. But that's how Tibbs does things,

16:10

and it's worked out for him. But I don't

16:12

know what Heart's going to do. I don't know what de Vincenzo's

16:15

gonna do. Bogdanovitch is out for the year. That's

16:17

a big blow. You know, can Hartenstein stay

16:19

out of foul trouble? And then okay, Harris

16:21

had seventeen points, you know, one hundred

16:23

and fifty million dollar contract. I should at least

16:25

get that once more than once a month. But

16:28

toom heal doesn't even play some

16:30

of the I don't know what the supporting cast is going to do

16:33

right now, you can't it. I would lean over because

16:35

of this. You could get the scramble points late

16:37

with the following situation and the season on

16:39

the line, especially if the Knicks have the lead. But

16:42

it's a tough game to handicap.

16:43

The only other guy that I can really rely on before

16:46

game starts, I think is Kelly Oubrey, but

16:48

he's sick.

16:48

But I'm also not that's right. And then and there's a lot

16:51

of the points that right.

16:52

Yeh, that's true. And it was a bad job. I mean that guy'

16:54

spent through a lot right good glind by him. I

16:56

need a driver gets in a car accident

16:58

and he got hit on his bike about a month ago

17:00

two running crazy Philadelphia. But

17:03

the Knicks lost him a couple of times defensively

17:05

and gave up some easy baskets.

17:07

But then again, I think the Knicks are the better team,

17:10

and they blew it. I know what happened in game two,

17:12

and then it's just worse right where they come out

17:14

with a two minute report and oh, by the way, Maxie

17:16

actually traveled before we got the four

17:18

point play to add insult to injury.

17:21

But that's a lot of pressure on MAXI. He

17:23

knows he has to go off and deliver because

17:25

you don't know about Embid what he can

17:27

give you. And then other than that, he's looking

17:29

around and like who else? Feel free to help

17:31

and join in?

17:32

Right Embiid's points prop tonight

17:35

is thirty and a half. Now

17:38

he had what fifty and one game of the series. Does

17:40

he look like he's in shape right now to give you fifty

17:42

tonight or more than thirty and a half?

17:44

Is the more important question here. Yeah, maybe he could

17:46

do it.

17:47

Maybe he can go to the free throw line twenty seven times

17:50

and that would take possible. That is possible, right

17:52

for sure? I just how is Brunson

17:55

going to get the others involved with the Knicks tonight?

17:57

Because he's been a forty point machine?

17:59

Should he?

18:01

Well, at some point I want, like,

18:04

if Devincenzo's open, or you

18:06

have a McBride who's open, maybe

18:08

it's okay to pass it once in a while so those guys

18:10

can get a shot. It's not like Brunson's gonna

18:12

go eighteen of twenty from the floor in this

18:14

game. I love him he's

18:17

it unbelievable signing. Yep called him

18:19

a rock star the other day. The whole team is, for that

18:21

matter. But you know it's

18:23

not the worst thing in the world if an other guy on

18:25

that team gets a shot once in a while.

18:27

Yep.

18:27

I think he has to set the tone though, and playing like

18:29

the superstar he is, that will happen.

18:31

Yeah, that's why he was. They were loving life early.

18:34

He's stunk h by his standard shooting the

18:36

ball the first two games, and they won because

18:38

of Deuce and because of the game that hardhead

18:40

as well. So you know, game like this, you never know.

18:42

Could be an unsung hero and what happens

18:45

or Brunson puts him on his back and

18:47

says, okay. The larger discussion and bigger

18:49

picture is how do the Celtics not

18:51

come out of the East when you look at is

18:54

mbeat still standing in the conference

18:56

finals? Who's playing for Milwaukee

18:59

if they're able to do it? And then again, Indiana's

19:01

twenty seventh in defense, so that's not

19:03

gonna go. Well, now, Boston would get whatever they want.

19:05

I actually want that because it's going to be a blowout

19:07

in almost every game, and you can just bet Boston first

19:09

half team total in every single game and

19:12

probably retire at the end of when you're done, right,

19:14

that's Paul. For weeks we've been calling this,

19:16

it's forget the word upset. If the Celtics

19:19

don't come out of the Eastern Conference, it's way

19:21

worse than that. I don't the numbers

19:23

don't suggest that. I don't care. They

19:25

are just they are so much better. The gap

19:27

between the Celtics and everybody else in the East is

19:29

like, right, monumental.

19:31

So Jeff Sherman at the west Gate only made

19:33

only made Boston a four dollars series

19:35

favored against the Knicks.

19:36

Now, that was I think after the Porzingis injury,

19:38

right, that's.

19:40

Got to be low. Yeah, yeah, I mean it's who

19:43

would give them the best series? Healthy Milwaukee.

19:45

They're probably not going to get there, right, so

19:47

they could be done tonight, that's right. So

19:49

it's I mean, I've been betting that every

19:52

single day. I mean, you would say five

19:54

dollars should be more realistic. The price

19:57

of the Celtics to come out of the East and win

19:59

that. By the way, White is eighty to

20:01

one out there to win finals MVP.

20:03

I think that's a great bet because they're going they're

20:06

going to be in there, and then you can maneuver who

20:09

are they playing? Who knows, but that it could

20:11

be Minnesota, OKC, even

20:13

Dallas.

20:14

I mean, it's a way to attack a Poulis. You can bet

20:16

multiple Celtics if you want right now.

20:17

Yeah, but the way White was playing it, yeah,

20:20

very good. Now. The other game is we're still

20:22

okay here. There were eight and a half's available

20:24

yesterday, but I got on that because of

20:26

the TNT report that both guys

20:29

could play tonight for Milwaukee, and

20:31

now both of them are doubtful, so it's

20:33

now eight again. The

20:36

outlier was Game four when

20:38

Portis got the heave hole early. But

20:40

the Game one they blew them out. Game

20:42

five they blew them out. You're going against the

20:44

twenty seventh rank defense. Beasley

20:47

showed up with eighteen in the last game, and you

20:49

got twenty nine from Middleton and Portis.

20:51

So there's still plenty of weapons

20:54

on this Milwaukee team, and I think

20:56

eight is too much here with the Pacers and

20:58

the pressure of knowing we got to close them out.

21:00

Uh, and what could be behind door

21:03

number two in game seven? Because I would

21:05

still wait because you could chance Lillard

21:07

looked okay to me, it's uh shooting

21:09

around yesterday. But again the news is

21:12

getting worse there but the

21:14

chance that one of the guys plays to get a big shot

21:16

in the arm. But I'm still okay here taking eight

21:18

even if the two stars are out, just

21:21

because you see even

21:23

with you know Lopez, I mean, there's so many guys that can

21:25

score for Milwaukee, and do you trust

21:27

the others with Indiana and Haliburton,

21:30

like several other guys, has been compromised,

21:32

has been the same player with this injury.

21:34

So I do like the over, though I think

21:36

it's way too low. Now we're now we're down to two

21:38

twelve and a half. I think that's too

21:41

low.

21:41

How about the game so far when they've been in

21:43

Indiana for the series one to

21:46

one eighteen and one twenty six to one thirteen

21:49

in Indiana has been a different team at home. Yes,

21:51

so to twelve and a half to me is also too

21:54

low. In this game, I will say this,

21:56

You're not getting that kind of game with a Patrick Beverley tonight.

21:59

No, that's not happening again.

22:01

No, I would, No, I probably

22:03

won't. I'm not going to get that out of Bee's Lee either probably,

22:05

but again I have guys that this

22:08

guy can knock down.

22:10

Guys good, but other guys missed, like when

22:12

Dame misses a game or Giannis

22:14

is out for the game. Beasley's been pretty

22:16

good, Middleton's

22:19

been fantastics right, Yep, pretty

22:22

much carried the team so far.

22:23

Yep.

22:23

I like the over more than anything else. You like? You love

22:25

the program now on the Progressive guest

23:50

line as the well, we have quite the storyline

23:52

brewing this morning as expected at the CJ

23:55

Cup by Ray Nelson, jeffers to well,

23:57

good morning, thanks for the time today. This

23:59

was supposed to start twenty minutes from

24:01

right now for those of you watching and listening to the show

24:03

live, but they've pushed it back. We expected

24:06

rain to be a story so far, Jeffan it is.

24:07

Yeah, yeah, it

24:09

is, I mean, and it's not. I don't think it's going

24:11

to be that bad. And the wind

24:14

is what's going to be picked up early

24:16

both days. Expected to be twenty miles an hour both

24:18

days. Looks like that's not going to change

24:20

much. But yeah, we've got another extra hour to

24:23

get our best in this morning.

24:24

Okay.

24:24

I said before the break that you are avoiding the top of the leader

24:27

board with the exception of one golfer.

24:30

You're not going to go Jordan Speif you're not going to go Jason

24:32

Day. Who did you land on

24:34

this week? That is the one guy near the top of

24:36

the of the oddsport Jeff.

24:38

Yeah, I mean, guys, there's a lot to like about

24:40

Seawou Kim. I think he's going to be probably

24:43

the most popular player in DFS

24:45

and probably one of the most beat on guys this

24:47

week. But you've got five straight

24:49

finishes inside the top thirty. Finished

24:52

second here last year, so you've got

24:54

current form. You've got corus form ninth

24:56

in the field and total strokes gain ninth

24:59

and Bogue void sixth and ball striking.

25:01

No, he's not a good putter, but when he puts

25:04

neutral, he's not automatic top twenty.

25:07

Sea Wou's finished in the top twenty and seven

25:09

of his last seventeen events, so I think

25:11

playing in top twenty, I think now he's probably

25:13

minus one twenty five or so sixteen

25:15

to one. I bet him out right, and then I played him

25:17

top twenty as well. So yeah, Sea Wou my

25:20

favorite guy near the top of the board.

25:21

Okay, how about mid tier? How about the Jaeger Bomb.

25:24

What do you think of some mid tier guys?

25:26

The Jaeger Bomb guys had quite a season so

25:28

far. Went at Houston we all

25:30

miss We remember Scotti Scheffler missing that putt

25:33

on eighteen and that gave jager Bomb

25:35

his first win, followed by a top twenty

25:37

at the RBC a few weeks ago. In

25:39

his last twenty events twenty events,

25:42

Jaeger has a win and eight more

25:44

finishes inside the top twenty. Finished

25:46

eleventh here last year. No reason

25:49

why he can't finish top twenty again. Getting

25:51

him plus one forty or so top twenty I

25:53

think is a great price, and then a little

25:55

bit on him thirty to one outright, I

25:58

expect a big week out of my guy. How with Hogy

26:01

top twenties in three of his last four events

26:03

had a top twenty. Here two years ago his

26:06

stat form was tremendous fifth in

26:08

total strokes gained, third and birdies

26:10

are better gained that this is going to be a shootout.

26:12

You got to make birdies twelfth and bogie

26:15

avoidant seventh in ball striking and

26:17

first on approach. I think big

26:19

things from Hollywood. Hog you this week and

26:21

then another guy over the last

26:23

twenty four rounds. Guys, this is crazy. Over

26:26

the last twenty four rounds, the PGA

26:28

Tour leader strokes gained ball striking

26:31

is Scottie Scheffler. No surprise, number

26:33

two Keith Mitchell. You

26:36

would not have guessed Keith Mitchell was number

26:38

two on tour in ball striking and a

26:40

tour, not just in the tournament, on the entire tour.

26:42

Keith Mitchell's number two. If this were

26:44

a ball striking contest, he'd be five to

26:47

one this week. Unfortunately we

26:49

have to include the short game. He's

26:52

lost strokes on a short game in

26:55

nine straight events, lost strokes around

26:57

the green in ninth straight and putting

27:00

in five of his last ten. So

27:03

in an event where you have to make birdies like

27:05

this, he's fits in the field and birdies

27:07

are better. And we know he's the best ball

27:09

striker even if he puss, even

27:12

if he loses just a little bit putting, he's

27:14

probably a top twenty bet if he puss

27:16

neutral he can easily win this. So forty

27:19

to one for Mitchell and you can find

27:21

him top twenty better than plus one point fifty.

27:23

I like that a lot. Think that's worth while.

27:25

All Right, it's follow the money here on Vson the Sports

27:27

Betty Network. Our guest Jeff Seely.

27:30

His podcast is called The Cutmaker Podcast

27:32

and you can follow him on x at Cutmaker.

27:34

Jeff, I want to go back to the jagerbomb for a second.

27:37

We're all in our forties here. When is the last time you guys had

27:39

a yaeger bomb?

27:41

Ten years?

27:41

Jeff?

27:43

Oh God, Well, you guys know me my Viker

27:45

Red Bulls, So I mean it's

27:47

it's been more. It's been more recently

27:49

that for me, I don't know, probably six months.

27:52

Six months you've had Yeah,

27:54

so maybe this year you've had or

27:57

by by like Thanksgiving time you've had a yaeger

27:59

bomb since then?

28:00

Oh? Yeah, I mean I have I have a friend of mine

28:02

who owns a sports bar around the down

28:05

the street from my house, and so people

28:07

will randomly buy a shot and here and there

28:09

people will buy a Jaeger bomb. So that's probably

28:11

how I had a Yager bomb within the past.

28:14

How about Goldschauger High School?

28:17

That's f Yeah.

28:18

Oh you

28:20

know what a starry night is, PAULI. No,

28:24

a starry night is a shotty

28:26

Yager bomb with Goldschlager in it.

28:28

Oh, it looks like, oh,

28:32

please please tell me it's not good.

28:33

No, you know it's not. I've had

28:35

word, certainly had.

28:38

Yeah.

28:39

Let's uh, let's work our way down the

28:41

board a little bit. You're looking at a guy who's in the fifty

28:43

to one range, Mark Hubbard. Why do you like Mark?

28:46

I like Houbbard Honestly, he's

28:48

not a guy I play often. But this

28:51

week he's worthy consideration. He's

28:54

fourth and birdies are better. So I mentioned you got

28:56

to make birdies and three straight finishes

28:58

of thirty first or better. The approach

29:00

game isn't as good as Mitchell or Hogi,

29:02

but it's not that far behind them, and

29:04

it's putting so far has been better than either.

29:07

Mike. Concerning here guys, is a guy who's been putting

29:09

well I see all these pictures

29:11

of him trying out five different putters

29:13

on the putting green this week, so that

29:16

didn't instill a ton of confidence. So

29:20

I mean, I have a few bucks on him outright, but

29:22

I still think a plus two fifty or so in

29:25

top twenty market Hubbard's

29:27

worth or worth a look. And

29:29

then as you go down the board some bombs.

29:31

I'm going back to my guy. The gim

29:34

Reaper was Scottie Scheffler's teammate

29:36

at Texas. We're here in Texas and he's

29:38

seventy to one. I feel like

29:41

this is a really unique opportunity

29:43

because I think

29:45

we're getting that a big discount. He's really

29:47

struggled recently. Last

29:49

four events he's not played well, but

29:52

prior to that January through March

29:54

he had five straight top twenty

29:57

finishes, including a top ten in

29:59

Mexico. He finished nineteenth

30:01

here last year and twelfth

30:03

and twenty nineteen. So I feel

30:05

like if we're getting a really good discount, seventy

30:07

to one for the Reaper in this field, that's

30:10

not good. I think is a

30:12

really really good price, and I bet

30:14

him top twenty, like anywhere around plus

30:16

two fifty is a great price. And

30:19

then guys, my favorite bomb this week

30:21

is Nate Lashley. I bet him at ninety.

30:23

You can find him as high as one hundred some places.

30:26

So much to like here. His

30:28

stats are top thirty in every major

30:31

category across the board. He's

30:33

almost the top twenty or bus guy. He

30:35

has top twenty finishes in four of his last

30:38

thirteen events, finished twenty third

30:40

and seventeenth in his last two trips here,

30:42

and you can get him at plus three hundred

30:45

or better top twenty. I think that's a great

30:47

vet. There's you know

30:50

what's really interesting though, he hasn't won on tour

30:52

in five years. But ninety

30:55

to one, one hundred to one, or a guy who can

30:57

make birdies, I think you want some pizza

30:59

money Actually is a really good bomb

31:01

this week. And lastly, I'm gonna throw a few bucks

31:03

in my guy, Eric Barnes. I'm also going to play him

31:05

Top forty plus two fifty, two hundred and fifty

31:07

to one.

31:07

Went out two minutes left. You're a Pacer

31:10

fan. They've already had two no shows

31:12

in this series and tried to give away Game

31:14

three. What do you think of they're laying

31:17

eight tonight?

31:19

Yeah? No, I don't. I don't like that at all. And I

31:21

bet the Pacers pre series at

31:23

two to one, and you

31:26

know, I bet, and then I found Milwaukee

31:28

yesterday. It was plus six

31:30

hundred on the series price. I really

31:32

feel like, if the Pacers lose tonight,

31:35

I think they're dead in game seven. If

31:37

I looked at that, Milwaukee, you

31:39

know, plus six hundred is like a as a

31:41

money line bet basically tonight, And so

31:44

I did take that. You know, it was

31:46

kind of a hedge from my Pacers

31:48

bet, you know. But

31:51

all of that said, I fell to

31:53

this. I'm a little disappointed in Haliburton, and

31:55

from a leadership perspective, I

31:57

expect to be more of an alpha in this scenario.

32:00

And god forbid, imagine

32:02

what were we beef We didn't have Siakam. I

32:05

mean, I'm so glad we made that trade.

32:08

I mean, at least we have an alpha who

32:10

can score, who can an elite post player.

32:13

So yeah, I mean, I think. But it's funny

32:15

though, guys, you know, you talked about Boston and like

32:18

running away with this thing. I think the Pacers

32:20

were what like top three or something in

32:22

the NBA against teams with better

32:24

than a five hundred records this year. They

32:26

got swept by Portland. But they play

32:29

good teams really, really well. So

32:31

you know, I think if they can get past

32:33

the Milwaukee and somehow get

32:35

through this series, you

32:38

know, I don't hate them against the Knicks, and I

32:41

think they will play good teams well so well.

32:43

I'm a little nervous tonight. It sounds weird. I'm

32:46

more nervous against the lesser teams than I am the

32:48

good team.

32:48

Oh, I get it, that makes sense. Jeff has

32:50

always great stuff today. We appreciate it. Best of luck

32:53

with your golf bets this week.

32:55

Thanks all, ticker, Thank you.

32:56

Cupmaker podcast is the name of it. He's on x

32:59

at Cupmaker. Jeff Finny joined us here on

33:01

the progressive guest line. I think Pacers

33:03

Nicks would be a good series. The clash

33:05

of styles there.

33:06

Yes, number two pace against number

33:09

thirty, no doubt.

33:10

I'm next Paul is going to recap more of last night's betting

33:12

action and win some, lose some, and we'll ask you if

33:15

you agree with what Charles Barkley.

33:17

Said in a rant last night. That's

33:19

next here on VSON.

33:44

Were you a winner last night?

33:45

Wow winning?

33:46

Or was it a rough one.

33:48

Well, there can't all be winners, can the loser?

33:50

You're a loser. Mollie Howard recaps the night

33:52

in sports betting and win.

33:53

Some blue some oilers in

33:56

five plus three forty five.

33:58

They move on and hopefully I'm with they make it to

34:00

the conference finals and we get a Colorado

34:04

Edmonton series again, which was so good a couple

34:06

of years ago. But good job

34:09

fell behind two to one and then took

34:11

them out four to three for the third year in a row.

34:13

MAVs from one up to three punished

34:15

the Clippers, Westbrook hardened

34:18

George offfel in the loss. Celtic

34:20

seed over two hundred and a half up to two

34:22

to two, fell two to oh two, died

34:24

in the fourth quarter, but still got there.

34:27

Hopefully you got a good number. Champions League

34:29

Leg one brush A Dortmund two to one, beat

34:31

PSG one to zerl. The Twins

34:33

have won ten in a row. Now how

34:35

about that here they come? Yep, that's right,

34:38

can't watch the games locally there and

34:40

they cut payroll thirty million. After they

34:42

finally won a playoff series as the

34:44

legend there, Patrick ROYCEI tweeted, it's

34:47

the best offseason since they floated contraction

34:49

when Polad owned the team that

34:52

was close to happening.

34:53

Yeah, I will say that is turning in now

34:55

because of their emergence into a pretty

34:57

good division.

34:58

That's right, no doubt. So we got

35:00

the like our Royals tickets. Speaking of the Royals,

35:02

the under eight and a half down to seven and a half they

35:04

won six to one. And unders are on a went

35:07

twelve to two and one yesterday in Baseball

35:10

Crazy with all the unders. I also think

35:13

the Nurfy. I think the Nurfy went thirteen

35:15

and two, no run in the first any Braves

35:17

won seventy up to one ninety. That was

35:20

sale again, I think it was solid. Had a really good in

35:22

the Phillies one seventy up to two ten wheeler.

35:26

Yeah, they cast the first five again. I

35:28

think that's a fifteen and one run in their

35:30

five.

35:31

Yeah.

35:31

Yeah, Kevin Rodgers has that. Okay, subscribe

35:46

Cigar City, Jeff, what a session

35:49

set the hard rock dealt Aces

35:53

on fifty cent ultimate x multipliers

35:57

on all of them, and the tippy top he got

36:00

the kicker. So the one

36:02

on top a loan is three grand. So

36:04

he walks away with four thousand dollars. And then

36:06

he went to that dice game

36:09

where use this video poker, but then it comes

36:12

out like dice random. With the multiplier,

36:14

he got fifty cents, four queens,

36:16

nine times. Hell of a day for Cigar

36:19

City. Jeff good job and Derek

36:21

Stevens. Win Derek's

36:24

tesla. There it is in the garage.

36:26

You saw it all the time. There he is with his wife Nicole,

36:29

and this thing isn't even You can't buy

36:31

this till twenty twenty seven, but

36:33

that's what he's given away in November here.

36:36

So if you're a serious player and

36:38

like to have a good time, come down to Circa the d

36:41

of a Golden Gate. Give him action again

36:43

with these drafts that they have in the Blackjacks, and

36:45

no one gives back to their players like

36:48

Circa and Club One.

36:50

Win Derek's tesla. There you go. Would

36:55

you take the cash or would you take the vehicle if you want.

36:58

It's a pretty awesome looking vehicle.

36:59

It is right you're driving a bike down the road.

37:01

I'm kind of tight lipped here because I was parking in the

37:03

same garage. We are blessed here

37:05

because the way that Derek allowed

37:07

us to park in that one secret parking garage since

37:10

this place opened up at the Batman Spot,

37:12

I was parking right next to that vehicle for three weeks

37:15

and I saw them putting the details to it.

37:17

I'm like, I want to take photos of this, I want to.

37:18

Take video, but I'm like, eh, something's

37:21

going I had no idea what was going to happen with the thing. I'm

37:23

like, I can't do this. Something secretive is happening. And

37:25

there you go, another Cats out of the bag loose.

37:27

Some Rockies have trailed in every game this year.

37:29

That's a record. Oh there are some bad teams

37:31

bad Oh yes, yep, a's one again.

37:34

They're not bad.

37:35

Yeah, I told you, yeah,

37:37

I'm not going to seven hundred and twenty.

37:39

Five to one.

37:39

Yeah.

37:39

I thought you.

37:40

I couldn't believe its Yeah, that would

37:42

be quite the call. And that was it for Mike Gorman.

37:44

Love him.

37:45

Yeah, I fremendous. I forgot that during

37:47

the first round of the playoffs. You still get the local

37:49

games, but that was his final

37:51

game for the Celtics. Actually said Tyler

37:53

hero it doesn't play hard. Oh he was great. But

37:56

Gorman and Scalabrainy calling the

37:58

games for the Celtics and that was it. Form as

38:00

the Celtics move on to the second round.

38:02

Now I'll have a career, great choice, awesome calling

38:04

games. Tip of the catman, yep and one.

38:06

Bad beat Stars

38:08

nights over five and a half, two

38:11

to twelve minutes in one

38:13

goal the rest of the way, Oh, vicious

38:15

beat tough one if you had

38:17

that boy.

38:18

The Golden Knights really played some dumb hockey

38:20

last night.

38:21

What is Petranngelo doing it? You have you ever

38:23

seen that before? He has the

38:25

puck and he turns around and punches a

38:27

guy in the face, and of course Dallas

38:29

scores on the power purse.

38:30

Then they show him like in the penalty box. He's looking at

38:32

the replay. He's that can come on?

38:34

Yeah?

38:34

Well well really, initially was ruled a five

38:36

minute major.

38:37

That should have been probably he just punched the guy in

38:39

the face, he had the puck.

38:40

I didn't understand the goalie change. That

38:43

seemed like a desperate move on a cast I

38:45

would agree. And now they're up

38:47

against it. I think they lose tomorrow Derby

38:49

time. Best two minutes in sports.

Horse Now Joe Run for the Roses. There you

39:11

go. See what you think of this. I'd

39:14

be shocked if a Laker fan sends

39:17

in an email or tweet that Ham did a good job

39:19

this year and is a good coach. This

39:21

was Barkley last night. Remember

39:23

the rumors are already out there, vocals probably

39:26

gone, and it doesn't look good for Darvin Ham.

39:29

This is Barkley last night on Inside the

39:31

NBA.

39:32

Frank Vogel is a hell of a coach. Darvin Ham

39:34

is a hell of a coach trying to get his career

39:37

started. But with all you punks,

39:39

idiots and jackass is on other networks

39:42

who want to be media, who want all the players

39:44

to like y'all, do your damn job. The

39:46

Lakers suck and the

39:48

Sun sucks because of the players, has

39:50

nothing to do with the coaches.

39:53

I find the last part ridiculous. I just

39:56

if you watched all these Laker

39:58

games, between these substitutions,

40:00

the lineups, the inconsistency. Anthony

40:03

Davis in the middle of the first round said,

40:06

we have no idea what we're doing on both

40:08

ends of the floor. Now, there were people in the organization

40:11

that were upset he went public with that, but that's

40:14

every night there was a gift or

40:16

a screenshot of Lebron rolling his eyes

40:18

and just like, what are you trying to draw up here

40:21

with ham So as I said, though

40:23

after they lost number one, they don't suck. They

40:25

led seventy six percent of the series against Davie.

40:27

Well, that's where he was wrong. They're a good team.

40:29

Absolutely.

40:29

Also, Darvin Hamm is a very young head

40:32

coach. People loved him when he was an assistant

40:34

with the Bucks. So I think it's too early

40:36

to say that he's a really good coach or that he sucks.

40:38

I would come in time.

40:39

Sure, I would come back and ask Barkley what if they

40:41

had Spolstra or even Boenholzer.

40:44

But it

40:47

doesn't look good for him. And then you also have

40:50

players who were calling him out, and there was also

40:52

a report he lost the locker room midway

40:54

through the season with some of the bizarre stuff he was doing.

40:56

I do play. I think they have poor roster management.

40:58

I'll give you some of that too, right now. The Vincent thing

41:00

didn't work out. Now, it's interesting that they

41:03

won the title. When they won the title in

41:05

the bubble, they went and

41:07

got rid of key pieces and parts to get

41:09

Westbrook, which was silly, of course,

41:12

and then Lebron's side off on that too. So

41:15

but the other thing in Phoenix, I

41:17

will agree you can't blame Vogel. That

41:19

is also roster construction because

41:21

you went in and you grabbed Beal, but you had no

41:23

depth and you couldn't survive one injury.

41:26

And then you lost Allen early in that Minnesota

41:28

series and he never had a point guard.

41:30

So well, there's nothing to disagree with what he said about

41:32

the Phoenix Suns now. The owner istink.

41:35

Yeah.

41:35

He says we were in a great position, he said,

41:37

with a bright future.

41:38

I'm glad that he thinks that because it's the exact

41:40

opposite and what he did there

41:43

to come in new owner syndrome,

41:45

as people were putting it to me on x as

41:47

Well said, yes, you want to come in. You're

41:49

spending billions of dollars on your team. You

41:51

want the star power. You do live in a great city.

41:54

You think that you know that the fans are going to come

41:56

and lug all all of their games, and they did.

41:58

I mean, they have great fans there, basketball

42:00

fans in Phoenix. But you gutted

42:02

your entire team for an aging superstar,

42:05

and then you brought in Bradley Beale, who can stay

42:08

healthy for like thirty games every year and

42:10

is completely unreliable and hasn't played a

42:12

meaningful game since he was in college

42:14

for the most part. Yeah, good luck with that

42:17

and no depth whatsoever. He got rid of every

42:19

decent role player on your team.

42:21

Not gonna work. Terrible game plan by

42:23

that organization and by that new owner.

42:25

The problem with Barkley is he's the other

42:27

direction. He's friends with the coaches,

42:29

so won't criticize him. He thought Doc

42:31

Rivers a good coach, Scottie Brooks, Scotty

42:34

Brooks, and OKC would sit Westbrook

42:36

and Durant at the same time. So

42:39

what I said earlier, though, my point was and it's

42:41

on Jeanie Bus and also Polenka. This

42:43

is one of the best jobs in sports. The

42:46

Krem de La Krem should be coaching the Lakers, right,

42:49

It shouldn't be guys like this. Well, while he was

42:51

respected coming in, it shouldn't

42:53

be. It shouldn't I mean right, go back the list

42:55

with who they had. It shouldn't be this

42:57

way, Phil Jackson, Riley, I

42:59

mean, this is the job in sports right.

43:01

Also, how much state does Lebron have been that guy who's

43:03

going to take over as a new head coach, and how many

43:06

truly great head coaches exist in the NBA.

43:09

I'll be down in many question, not many so

43:12

when these.

43:12

Guys but again you see Dad Knew going Oak. They're

43:14

out there. There's plenty of guys out there. You just got

43:16

to find them and don't go.

43:18

Easier said than done, though, Yeah, but just.

43:20

Don't they going with the problem is you

43:22

just keep replacing with the same old guy and

43:24

the sad look at the names that are up for the for

43:27

the job. If harm, if Ham is gone.

43:28

How about you make the mother load offer to Brad

43:30

Stevens, make

43:34

him an offer he can't refuse.

43:35

Then you have no excuses.

43:37

He was awesome in Boston and if

43:39

he has to say in roster construction, look at

43:41

what he's done with the Celtics. Just

43:43

offer him twenty five million dollars a year. Here, you go

43:45

fix our problem. I

43:48

would have faith in him

43:50

no excuses then, but that will probably

43:52

never happen.

43:53

Yeah.

43:53

Uh, Door one or door two is coming up

43:55

next year. Unfollow the money. It's VSAN, the Sports

43:58

Betty Network.

43:59

Would you rather bet the Bears to make the playoffs

44:02

or the Chargers to miss

44:04

the playoffs? And, believe it or

44:06

not, both are around the same

44:08

number. We'll get into it coming up here on VSON
