00:00It's best teams against the spread usually give you the whole season, but why not today we mix it up

00:04Since the all-star break and why did I also want to do this because the thunder have just been

00:09Uh as we mentioned before I mean they smash everyone 16 and 5 ats since the break

00:14Jesus pretty good too 15 and 5 for the bulls raptors heat and celtics the best the worst

00:21I mean look at the grizz man

00:23317 and 1 against the spread

00:27Since the all-star break that is go ahead say it, huh?

00:36Horrible 317 and 1

00:39Against the spread that is pathetic. Uh out of that. We're gonna find out later

00:44What's uh the deal with what happened to jenkins and the whole team when we get eric on?

00:49Get eric in the mix. I'll let you know uh standings for you. Uh after last night

00:54Uh as you know in the east, uh still cleveland boston nicks

00:57They've got those spots locked up indiana and detroit the four five right now

01:02with the bucks in there at the six

01:04uh atlanta orlando miami chicago

01:08Uh are in the play-in spots. The only team that can dethrone one of those

01:14Is toronto they are let's just say hanging by a thread. They're five games back in the loss

01:20Of the bulls they've won six they've won four in a row, but they're they're running out of runway

01:25They don't have enough room to land the plane. They're running out of games. They have to win every single game

01:30What do they have eight left and they're five back?

01:34Uh, they have got eight games left and they're five back in the law

01:37so they would have to win every game pretty much and the bulls to

01:42You know the bulls are miami to lose every game, which I just doesn't feel like that's going to happen

01:47Peeling off the bulls right now after their run they've started to hit a wall

01:51They've gotten uh, they've gotten smashed, uh the last couple times out

01:55So not a good scene for them as far as the west goes only one team

01:59Uh locked in and that's okay. See and we know that I mean they're running away and hiding

02:03Uh, they're in the western conference, but look at how tight this is the rest of it

02:08houston's two denver three lakers four memphis five

02:12Golden state six

02:16Golden state in the playoffs

02:20But but like you look at those records like there's only two games in the loss separating houston denver and the lakers

02:27There's only one game in the loss com separating memphis golden state minnesota the clippers if memphis keeps falling on their face

02:35By this time next week

02:37They might be seven or eight and have to be playing in the playing game

02:40I mean, that's how bad that's how tight it is right now razor thin margins

02:45So wait, let me get this straight. How many games back are uh,

02:50minnesota and the clippers from the six and five

02:54One game one game back. There's one game separating those four teams right now in the standings

03:00Well, that's gonna change because memphis is melting like an ice cream cone

03:04They are and as you also probably saw dallas has moved into the nine. They're out of the drop zone

03:10Uh phoenix is one game back in the loss of sacra tomato

03:16And then i'm supposed to go watch him play sunday and he's not playing

03:20And like he's not gonna be there. I even brought up to someone why go

03:26Why go yeah, why go, uh this

03:30One thing that uh has not changed over the last few weeks

03:32The celtics are still the favorites in the east and the thunder are still the favorites in the west

03:36Uh, there you go, this really hasn't moved to watch and probably won't till we get some matchups

03:42uh locked in matchups, uh for the playoffs

03:45There you listen. I'm not gonna argue with those top four right there in the west and I think the

03:52I do believe the

03:54Playoffs will be awesome actually and I think the west will be better in the east

03:59in terms of playoffs

04:01Yeah, no, I think the west will be better in the east as well. I think the east it's really can't

04:06You know, then we're gonna be boston and that's it. I mean, that's really the only question. Yeah, and I don't think that that's happening

04:11I think there's a lot more intrigue out west and better matchups
