00:00All right, the playoffs tonight. Pistons at Cavs. We'll see if this shows up in best bets. Not sure or
00:07not, but Pistons at Cavs.
00:09The Cavs are four and a half point favorite with a chance to close out. Spurs at T-Wolves tonight.
00:16San Antonio on the roads a five and a half point favorite with a chance to close out.
00:21So it feels like both of these series may end tonight. Excuse me, tonight. But game one is the Cavs
00:30and James Harden.
00:31And do you get a sense for you that the narrative may be changing for James Harden and a win
00:38tonight? Would that start to push even more with that narrative changing?
00:43Well, no, I don't think the narrative has changed. I think tonight it can.
00:47You think tonight it can?
00:48I mean, I think tonight can be the spark, if you will, of the narrative changing.
00:53I mean, if he's the reason why you beat the Pistons, you win a series in six, and he's really
01:00the bright spot throughout the series that gave you the shot,
01:04and then you turn around and continue to play well in the playoffs, yeah, I think this could be the
01:07spark that could turn the tide for James Harden.
01:11I don't think it's going to turn it completely just by playing well three or four games in a row.
01:15So, which, by the way, I'm going to go ahead and predict. I think he has another monster tonight.
01:20He closes them out.
01:22Yeah.
01:22Now, his last three games, man, ever since he was called out big time into the first two, his last
01:28three games, you could already be –
01:30Donovan Mitchell had a big game, a big game four where he had 45, but James was huge with his
01:3730,
01:37and just consistently he is being a playmaker and scoring, that he's been huge and they could go and face
01:44the Knicks.
01:45Now, I'll be honest with you. I am – I don't know why. I just – I am kind of
01:53rooting for James.
01:54Yeah, I am as well.
01:56Y'all disgust me.
01:57I know. I know it.
01:58He couldn't hit that button quickly.
01:59I forgot real quick about that exit from Houston.
02:02Yeah, I just – I mean, I feel for the fellow, you know.
02:05I mean, he needs some success in his life on the basketball floor.
02:09No, he doesn't.
02:11Never done it before.
02:13And that's why I want to see it.
02:14That's why he needs some success.
02:16Yeah, he flipped off the city of Houston.
02:19Go ahead, bud. Get some success.
02:20I don't think he did, man. I just think it ran his course.
02:24Are you serious with that?
02:25He gained a little weight.
02:27He didn't force his way out.
02:29Yeah, I mean, but they're forcing the way out.
02:32And how he went about that.
02:33I think it's like the thing now in sports.
02:36They force themselves out.
02:38I understand why you're upset.
02:39Not everybody does it the way James did.
02:43He's better at it than others.
02:45Becoming fat bastard and then forcing his way out of age.
02:48He lost that weight fast, too, man.
02:51By the time he got to Brooklyn, that weight came off fast.
02:54I don't know. Listen, I agree.
02:55I think he deserves some of the stuff he gets.
02:58But I don't know, man.
02:59For some reason, it was almost a pile on him.
03:03Man, he's a great player.
03:07I just want him to have some level of success.
03:11That is not...
03:13His career is so great in what he's able to do,
03:16and it just seems to be thrown to just the one thing.
03:20And I think I can't wait to see the second game.
03:24I think Anthony Edwards is going to try to go off.
03:27Now, this is one of those situations where he's the anti-James.
03:32They're in a place where they may close out.
03:36He may go Kobe tonight, man.
03:38He'll take 35 shots tonight if he can get his hands on him.
03:41I think he seems to be a hell with it.
03:45I'm going down.
03:46If we're going down, I'm going down with my best guns,
03:49and I'm shooting.
03:50Because they've been trying to take the ball out of his hands.
03:53We'll see what happens.
03:55I think they're going to be extra physical with him.
03:57I hope the Wolves win.
03:59I don't like their chances.
04:01It feels like San Antonio is ready to close.
04:04I would like to see a game seven in San Antonio.
04:07That would be cool.
04:08Just to see the get down.
04:10That would be great.
04:12You have been really impressed with...
04:13Oh, yeah.
04:14It's good stuff, man.
04:15It's good stuff.
04:17All right.
04:17That is where we are right now.
04:21A big, big night in the NBA playoffs.
04:23Could be moving to the conference finals.
04:25Both series have a chance to be closed out.
04:28Turd Ferguson.
04:29Five o'clock fire.
04:31All right.
04:32The PGA Championship is out, and I'm not going to lie to you guys.
04:36We'll look at it.
04:37There's a chance, but you start to look at the top names.
04:41This leaderboard is a tough one.
04:45But some are lurking at the back of this, Clint.
04:47But McNeely is leading right now, and he's through 14, Clint.
04:52He's gotten hot.
04:53He is five under on the day, six under on the tournament.
04:58And he has a two-shot lead.
05:00And then you have to go down before you get to notable players.
05:06Scotty Scheffler, who had kind of a rough day, but at least kind of salvaged it towards the end there.
05:10He was plus one today.
05:11But he's four shots off the lead right now at two under.
05:15So is Justin Thomas.
05:17John Roms had two under as well.
05:1912, and it must have really gone south for Jordan Speed because he was right there with them.
05:25I don't know.
05:27I'm going to assume that it hasn't.
05:30But I'm down to 50, and I have not run into it.
