00:00In the night game, of course, much different scenario, as I said to you earlier.
00:05These are a couple 500 teams, Orlando and Atlanta, but not the Dubs and the Grizzlies.
00:10Both won 48 games this year in a very, very competitive Western Conference.
00:14These are the two teams that drew the short straw and have to play in the play-in tournament.
00:19Now, I gave you this at the front, and I'm going to give it to you one more time.
00:23Steph Curry and the Warriors in these play-in games since they started a few years ago.
00:28So, 0-3 straight up, including 0-2 straight up as favorites in this game.
00:34That's two games in 21 where they lost in the 7-8 game and then lost in the second game.
00:39And then last year they lost, they were in the 9-10 game and didn't get it done.
00:43But I was kind of surprised because that kind of goes away from what I just said to you about
00:47usually Curry's the best player on the floor in these games,
00:51and he actually hasn't done it in these play-in tournaments.
00:55Yeah, and I don't think that's going to continue tonight.
00:58I think tonight he's going to score 35-40 points, and that'll be that.
01:02I think that, you know, one of the things that worries me is, you know,
01:08frankly, Jaron Jackson and Bain and John Morant score.
01:13They all score a lot.
01:15And I do not believe that Draymond Green is stopping all three of them by himself,
01:19even though he thinks he will stop all three of them by himself.
01:23So I don't think it's the worst bet in the world to take Memphis in seven.
01:27I really don't think it's the worst bet in the world.
01:30I still think that Curry's going to wipe them out.
01:34I do.
01:34I think they'll wipe them out.
01:36I think Podzemski's going to have a big game.
01:38I think Butler's going to have a big game.
01:42I think Curry's going to have a big game.
01:43And they're going to win going away at the chase and finish them off.
01:47You know why?
01:48Because the Grizzlies' season over the last two months has been a bloodletting
01:53and a nightmare.
01:54They fired their coach.
01:55They got a guy shooting bullets at people.
01:57They got a guy throwing hand grenades into the crowd and all the bullshack.
02:03I think it's going to catch up with them tonight.
02:05I think it is as well.
02:07And I'm also going to go after that trend with you.
02:09I'm going to take the Warriors.
02:10I see it diced down to six and a half now.
02:14So I'm going to go six and a half with the dubs here.
02:17And here's my other problem.
02:18Like the Grizzlies, they suck on defense.
02:21And remember, we played that clip of Ja last week talking about their defense.
02:24You look, when they play big teams, they give up enormous numbers.
02:29You know, they gave up 141 of the Timberwolves last week.
02:32They played the Warriors a couple weeks ago.
02:33They gave up 134.
02:35You know, they give up huge numbers to teams that can score.
02:39So I think they're in trouble tonight.
02:40I'm with you.
02:41Curry, Podzemski, and these guys take care of business.
02:45And they throw a knockout punch.
02:46I like that over as well in that game tonight.
