Transcript

00:03 Is the total in this one, of course, it's been a bad week for the Sixers.
00:07 As we talked about yesterday, I mean, they've lost to teams like the Grizzlies
00:09 and the Nets so far this week.
00:12 So that doesn't bode very well with Zion and the Pelicans coming in.
00:15 >> Yeah, and he doesn't even matter.
00:19 And I still like his game, no one can guard him.
00:21 But to me, this is about Brandon Ingram can't be stopped, and
00:26 he's just gonna light them up till no tomorrow.
00:29 I think the Pelicans roll the Sixers tonight in Philly.
00:32 Everybody else has been beating them.
00:33 >> And no maxi still for the Sixers who has missed all these games this week.
00:40 So that's a major problem for them.
00:42 You weren't here the other day for this too, I wanna get your thoughts on it.
00:45 Did you see Zion saying that he would do the dunk contest but
00:48 he has to be voted into the all star game?
00:51 I thought one of the genius marketing moves of all time because now you know,
00:56 everybody's gonna vote for him next year cuz they wanna see him in that dopey
00:58 dunk contest.
00:59 I thought it was extremely smart by him to do that.
01:01 >> Well, McClung has won it back to back and
01:05 I think people got excited the first time that he won it.
01:08 And then this time they're like, you mean the guy from the G League again won it?
01:12 So I think they need someone like Zion to be in it to
01:16 bring the rack down like Shaq would.
01:21 And I think that that's what Zion would do.
01:23 They can't have some guy, and I hate to say it, I like Mac McClung, but
01:28 they can't have some guy like him winning it every year that nobody gives a rat's
01:31 ass about.
01:32 He doesn't even play in the league.
01:35 >> Zion is a guy that could get the dunk contest back.
01:40 And he'd make probably other guys start doing it again if he had some kind of
01:44 huge performance.
01:45 So, and I think everybody's gonna run and vote for him next year now too,
01:48 whether he's injured, not injured, they're gonna want him there.
01:50 The hairdryer city game of the night is Charlotte and Washington in DC.
01:57 Friends and family only, Scotty, going to be at this one.
02:00 Hornets getting two and a half here, 226 and a half.
02:03 So the Wizards have lost like a billion games in a row in their two and
02:06 a half point favorites tonight.
02:07 That's how much Charlotte sucks.
02:08 >> Well, I mean, they've lost 16 in a row.
02:11 I just can't bet on them.
02:12 I know people that are betting on them today.
02:15 And that's a dangerous way to make a living, boy.
02:18 All I know is I'm not betting on the Wizards ever.
02:21 So I'll take Charlotte.
02:24 I would never bet on the Wizards as well for that one.
02:27 Minnesota, we do welcome in all of our radio affiliates from coast to coast on
02:30 a Friday, Sirius XM channel 159 sports byline.
02:33 Great to have everybody with us here today.
02:36 We will go next Minnesota and Cleveland tonight.
02:40 At the queue minus two and a half for the Cavs, 206 and a half is the total.
02:46 Now they did put Anthony Edwards as questionable with the ankle after last
02:50 night, I mean, he did come back in the game and drop 44.
02:54 So I'm pretty sure he's gonna be all right to go tonight.
02:56 For the Cavs, still no Mitchell, no Max Struess, no Evan Mobley for
03:02 them, but they're two and a half point favorites.
