00:00Tonight, we got two eight games.
00:02The winners go in as the eighth seed in the NBA.
00:07You got Miami-Atlanta.
00:08You got Dallas with a big game tonight on the road in Memphis at the FedEx.
00:14What do you think is going to happen in these two ballgames?
00:17I really like the Miami Heat tonight, Scott, against this Atlanta Hawks team.
00:21The Hawks can score points in a regular season game,
00:24but when we see when somebody absolutely clamps down on them,
00:28they're a one-man operation, all right?
00:30They just don't have the pop.
00:32Miami are a much better defensive team.
00:35Miami have players, Scott, that have been in the NBA Finals before.
00:38They have arguably the best coach in the league, in Eric Spolstra.
00:43And I think, and I was guilty of it a bit too, Scott,
00:45like after they traded Jimmy Butler and all the criticism about the Heat culture
00:51and players criticizing Pat Riley and poor Eric Spolstra is even getting a divorce, Scott.
00:58This year.
00:59So, like, nothing.
01:00Yeah, yeah.
01:01They just broke up, and there was a rumor, and his wife, actually,
01:06his ex-wife did a video and said, you know, it's not true,
01:09and you guys are crazy, but that she was sleeping with players.
01:13And, like, so it's like this whole, this whole, it hasn't been a good year
01:18for the Miami Heat, right?
01:19Like, they've dealt with, there's normally, you know, Scott,
01:21normally they're one of the more solid organizations in sports, right?
01:24And it's been a chaotic year for them on and off the court with Butler,
01:29with personal problems, with people, like, you know,
01:32questioning Riley now at his age.
01:35With all that being stated, bro, all right, you lose Jimmy Butler,
01:38and I know Jimmy Butler, Scott, you know, as a whole.
01:42Is he better than Andrew Wiggins?
01:45Yeah, okay, I guess.
01:47Wiggins, Wiggins is, you know, kind of emotionless.
01:51Yeah, but exactly, Scott, like, Wiggins doesn't talk, doesn't smile.
01:55He doesn't sweat, Wiggins.
01:56That's what's always fascinated me.
01:58I swear to God, guys, watch Wiggins.
02:01It'll be like the fourth quarter, everybody will be dripping,
02:04and Wiggins will be stone-cold dry, bone dry.
02:08It's not like he's not trying.
02:09I think he's just that cool.
02:10I don't know what it is with him.
02:12But my point is, Scott, Wiggins is a good defensive player, bro.
02:15Wiggins has won championships.
02:16So, yeah, you lose Butler, but you're bringing in a high-IQ basketball player in Andrew Wiggins
02:21who can, you know, all right, he's not Butler, but it's not that much of a drop-off, guys.
02:26And now Tyler Hero gets to shoot, and I don't like his fashion choices, Scott,
02:30but this kid is lights out, bro, and he's got ice in his veins.
02:34And then you throw in Adebayo in the paint here,
02:36and Duncan Robinson hitting threes, coming off the bench, bro.
02:40I just think Miami are going to be too much for Atlanta tonight, Scott.
02:42I will say this.
02:45On that note about Spolstra's wife, the new show on Apple TV with Jon Hamm,
02:50he walks in on his wife with a former NBA player, let's just say,
02:54getting involved with his wife and his marriage.
02:56I saw that, Joe, Scott.
02:57I liked it.
02:58Yeah, good show.
02:58I like that.
02:59He becomes a thief.
03:00It's great.
03:02That's a great show.
03:03His wife's tagging the NBA player.
03:07Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:08I like it.
03:10I got to watch that all day.
03:11It's funny what his buddy tells him.
03:15What are you going to do?
03:15He's a four-time NBA All-Star, aren't you?
03:17And he's like, yeah.
03:18He's drinking.
03:20Four-time NBA All-Star stole this rich guy's wife.
03:23He's like, yeah, what are you going to do?
03:25Either way, that guy does not look like an NBA player.
03:29He looks like a washed-up football player.
03:32Anyway, game two, Dallas and AD and Clay going to Memphis
03:37against the grenade launcher.
03:39You know, I said the other night, you know, this Memphis team,
03:43I think, is pretty good, but they're a streetball team.
03:47And I can't trust a streetball team, Scott, laying this type of points, right?
03:53You never know what they're going to do.
03:55Is Joe Marat going to get kicked out of the game?
03:56Is he going to get hurt in the game?
03:57Are they going to win plow?
03:58Are they going to be able to inbound the ball properly?
04:02Dallas have a chip on their shoulder as well, right?
04:04They want to, like, really, you know, these players have been really,
04:08really picked on and criticized.
04:11Not them.
04:11The organization has.
04:13But, you know, the players, you know, like AD would like nothing better
04:17to get in the freaking postseason here and remind people how good he is still.
04:21So I'm going to fall for it, Scott.
04:23I feel like whatever I do in this game is going to be wrong.
04:25Like, if I took Memphis to win, I see a six right now.
04:28I know it's bouncing around.
04:29But in front of me in my book, I got a six.
04:31I feel like if I take Memphis minus six, they're going to win by five or four.
04:36I believe in Dallas a little bit more getting the six here, Scott.
04:40But I like the Miami game better.
04:42I'm not going to lie to you.
04:42I like the Heat bet a lot better.
04:43I like the Heat bet a lot better.
