Quick updates on the second round series going on right now. Celtics, like I said, or tied one one as Philadelphia Walston a TV garden stole home court forty five points for James Harden on your head, and he said something that was so funny goes Everybody said, I couldn't be this crazy scorer anymore, and then I do it. But the reality is when I was doing it, you told me
that was not a winning mentality. Then I was like putting up twenty assists on your head and you're like, oh, he's not the same elite score that he used to be. That's facts. How would Boston resport us spawn? They blew the doors off the Sixers who got part of MB back. They looked not very good. It was not an MVP portion of Joel Embiid. If Joel Embiid is only like eighty percent MVP and the other twenty percent goes to like Jokic, that twenty percent was what showed up on
Game two. So we head back to Philly now with the Sixers having a chance to take him please control of the series if the if they hold home court, I think this thing goes seven. A team playing the best basketball right now in the league is the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets have taken a two to zero lead at the crib against the Phoenix Suns. Never was it particularly close.
Jokic is bawling along with Jamal Murray. Even Jamal Murray, with his bad game on Game two, which I think you only had ten, still played phenomenal in Game one. Nuggets bench is just so much better than everybody else. The Suns are in danger of getting swept. I think it's a rap. I think it's night night. I think they are dead. CP three is now injured, has a groin injury. I mean, what's new, It's it's May like. If have you ever seen CP three in May healthy? Fully,
I haven't without him. I don't think this is gonna be particularly close. Uh Nicks in the Heat. They are tied up one to one, but it is deflating. If you are in New York, you probably should have won game one. You barely beat the Heat in Game two without Jimmy Butler and Julius Randall has been playing well, but you're gonna need even more for him from him for Game three. Of course, like I said, the Heat were without Jimmy Butler, and that showed he's probably good
to go for whatever reason. It's like five days between Game two and Game three, So Jimmy is chilling right now. Literally his ankle is in a bucket of ice right now as we speak. We talked a little bit earlier about the Lakers and the Warriors. Lakers are up one to zero. By the time this comes out, you will know whether the Warriors came back and got the second game at the Crib. If they go out and go down two zero at Chase and now they head to the Crypt, I don't know. They might be in trouble.
Our dubs. I have like fifteen bets on them to win the West and to win the title, because I was not hoping that they would go one, two three Cancun against the Lakers. I'll just tell you that I was hoping either Kings or against the Nuggets. I do not think they want to go seven games with this Lakers because the Nuggets are coming. They will be fully arrested and that Aad and Braun can win either of those game sevens by themselves. And that's the danger of
the closeout game. At this point, the Warriors probably gonna be considering themselves lucky to get to a Game seven they could lose in six. Jonathan Kaminga is publicly bitching about his role on the team, saying he's not getting enough minutes. He went from twenty one minutes per game when Andrew Wiggins was on walk about obviously in the regular season two under three minutes in their Game one loss. Uh. But did you see the three minutes that he had
in Game one? I think he was like a negative fifteen. I think he gave up fifteen consecutive points and allowed the Kings to win that game single handedly. So sorry, Jonathan Kaminga, you just bought yourself a one way ticket to Detroit to play with your best friend, James Wiseman, because I tell you what, if, by the grace of God, Bob Myers comes back, he is not allowing that shit, and the new GM is not allowing that shit either. If Bob Myer does go, so interesting shit around the league.
These playoffs are heating up, and I don't know who's gonna win. I don't know who's even good. I don't know who's even bad. That's where we're at right now. Are the heat good? I don't know are the Knicks bad, I don't know. Are the suns cooked with Kevin Durant? Probably? Probably. That's all the time that we have for the Eat Check.
