00:00Speaking of the Sixers, they play tonight, and it's basically a pick-em game

00:03because not that the 76ers, who you mentioned, are playing so well.

00:07It's just that Cleveland, I don't know what has gone on with them this season.

00:11It's a complete role reversal from a year ago.

00:14I got nothing to point my finger at here,

00:16but certainly there's a lot of eyes looking deeply at that team

00:19and that coaching staff right now, Carl.

00:21Yeah, and they're having a head scratch every season

00:24because I think a lot of people expected them to be near the top

00:26of the Eastern Conference, and it just hasn't been able to be the case.

00:30And it's not like their individual players are playing bad.

00:32You look at the seasons that Donovan Mitchell's having,

00:34you look at what their backcourt is also having, and Darius Garland.

00:39They're putting up good numbers.

00:41It's just they're not doing it consistently together on the same night,

00:44and it's been causing problems.

00:46And the main thing for me, what Cleveland has always been,

00:48even through the LeBron James era, is they've been a really good home team.

00:52That really hasn't been the case this year.

00:54They've dropped some games that you don't expect them to drop at home.

00:57So, you know, I would take the Sixers in this one.

01:00You know, the Sixers, again, like I said, they're slowly starting to get healthy,

01:04and they're slowly starting to figure things out.

01:06They had a good showing against the Raptors the other night

01:08after losing to the Raptors in that baseball series

01:11that we'll call in the NBA now.

01:12But I do have the Sixers coming forward tonight

01:15with victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
