Olivia and Sam Dekker Talk Playoff Basketball

the King of Sports Books bet MGM. It's a little different as we kick off today. There are changes coming to the show as we continue to grow, and we're so thankful to everyone who's been along for the ride from the beginning into our new listeners. We have some big names joining us to tell their stories, share their insight, and access the look for the next two weeks. I get to bring my favorite two men on the show.

It's my husband and my dad. So we've been guests together on tons of podcasts, my husband, Sam Decker, and me, but this is the first time we've ever hosted together. So let's see this could be a little interesting. Welcome my amazing husband of almost almost three years, Sam Ducker. Hi, Hi, almost three years. How how time flies? It's amazing. But

I'm really excited to be on here with you. I've been listening over your shoulder every show you've done, and you've done so amazing, So I hope I don't bring us down a level, but this should be fun. I'm excited and to be in a professional space with you here is unique. It'll be exciting to share and see we gotta talk about right now. Our loyal listeners will remember Sam kind of popped in in one episode with sneakerhead Josh Louver and that was a lot of fun.

But Sam, what's been your favorite episode? I gotta know, Oh, there are, Yeah, there are a lot. I actually I liked the hockey one actually just because of the stories, and I won't want to get a little better with hockey. I feel like I'm good with most sports, but hockey is just one that I'm not equiped done. So just listening to some story season in the background in the University of Michigan stories reminded me so much of my

playing days at Wisconsin and and the Big Ten. So I just thought that was very a very fun episode and enlightened me a little bit on the on the world of hockey. And I've actually watched a little bit of it here in the playoffs and it looks like so much fun. So I just I gotta get a little better with that. Yeah, Marty Turko was very good on that. That was an interesting, interesting episode. I love that one. So you mentioned you went to Wisconsin. Let's do a quick bio. I feel like I talked about

you a lot on this show. It's actually kind of embarrassing. But for those who don't know, let me tell you who my husband is. He's a professional basketball player going into his seventh season next fall. I can't believe how quickly that happened, and his career started at University of Wisconsin, went to back to back final fours, played in a

national championship. Drafted eighteenth overall in the NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets, played two seasons there where we met, actually that's another side story, and then a season with the Clippers, Cavaliers, Washington Wizards, then overseas to Russia, and then this past season in Turkey, which we absolutely loved.

But I love even more that Sam's back. He's a Boygan, Wisconsin native, a fanatic for all Wisconsin sports, an amazing husky, dad to our beautiful dog, Riggins, and a bourbon connoisseur. Sam of everything I just listed, what is the topic that brings you the most joy? And your amazing wife is not in the list, So that's okay. I was gonna say, I said, what about you, man, I'll talk about my basketball story a lot, so it's nice when I can kind of branch off and talk about different

things that are going on in my life. The Bourbon one was unique. I didn't know that you were going to throw that one in there. I'm I wouldn't call myself a kind of sewer yet. I say I'm in the infancy stages because I've only been like into Bourbon for a couple of years now, so I'm just I'm learning. I'm slowly where they say opening the palette up to it. Also, the husky dad things kind of nice because our boy Riggins, you know, there's nothing like there's nothing like a man's

best friends. So that's that's a fun one to talk about too. But I feel like I'm an old book. I'm excited to share a little bit here. Thank you for that, you know, nice intro. I could write a million pages about you. But yeah, I'm an open book and ready to get into it and dive in. I have a lot of interests and we both do, and I think that's why this will be fun one because we can kind of show different side of us that

not a lot of people may know. So I'm excited to just dive into whatever's on our minds on your mind, and you know, really show people who were about what's your favorite bourbon? Oh, well, the first one that got me into bourbon, I would say is bas Laden's, so that's kind of got to stay up there. But there's different ones for different occasions. I'm actually trying some New Kansas City ones. I'm trying all sorts of different bourbons that I see that doesn't always have to be bourbon.

I like any whiskey, So I'm trying my best and standard saying don't just say blanket, I'll just drink anything dark. Like let be saying, well, I can't just I can't just being only a beer guy, because you know, from Wisconsin, we drink a lot of beer and but yeah, but I need to be a little bit more open. And it's funny. You are the one that got me to drink wine for the first time in my life. So without you, I wouldn't be as good of a consumer

as I am. Okay, quick funny story. When we started dating, I had done an interview article I think that was with g Q, and you read it and it said like, what's your go to drink? And I said, a Cavernet Sauviignan, my friend's joke, that's my blood type. And Sam was doing his research before we first met, and he stocked up. He had no idea what he was buying. I just thought that story was so cute and I was so impressed.

I was like, look at this guy with some nice bottles of red and you have to do your research before you meet somebody. So I knew if I ever got you to come over for for a glass of wine or whatever, that I would actually be stopped. So I was. I was a little nervous, didn't know what I was buying, didn't even know how to say cabernet. So I'm I'm a little better now and thankful you because you love your red wine. And I've been trying watch from all over the world. So I never thought

i'd be doing that. And here we are, years into our relationship now and I'm getting a little better each day. Yeah, you invited me over and I haven't left. So let's get back out of the mushy stuff and into sports. It's in the thick of the NBA playoffs right now. You and I've had some fun watching some games. We thought we'd break down all the action before we look ahead later in the show about some good value bets with bet MGMs, Peter Andrew. So, Sam, how about I

got the East? You start with the West? What do people need to know? Yeah? So for the West, we have three series tied to two, which is incredible to watch, and that's that's what we want as fans. The Utah Memphis series not three one going to wrap up. I see Utah's veteran leadership, and you know, Memphis being young, they'll get there, but right now I just don't see it happening for them. But the three series I really want to touch on. It's Phoenix, l A, Denver, Portland's

and the Clippers and Mavericks. All three of these series have they can go either way. You know, teams have one on the road, teams have defended home court, so we never we don't know what we're gonna see here, which is the beauty you have playoff basketball. What I love to watch is how teams are responding to each other. And the Sun's Lakers series is so such good basketball, such good television. To me. Phoenix is throwing punches, and that is what you love to see, especially as a player.

I kind of see the Lakers on the defensive here, and you know, these are the big Lakers, these are the finals champions of last year, and Phoenix has these young guys and then led by Chris Paul, like the ultimate veteran that they're just kind of kicking in the teeth,

kicking in the doors. And the Lakers are trying to lineups, how they're trying to new guys, new veterans, and it's I can kind of see them on a retreat here and they're going back to Phoenix and these last three games are gonna really really boil down to who can be tougher, who can find these lineups that work. And you know, as a player, I kind of see the

Lakers a little scared here. Maybe I'll eat my words, but I think Phoenix is in good shape, especially you know, taking one at Staples that that is huge for them. And like I said, when you're led by a guy like Chris Paul, everyone is uh is gonna be feeling a little better. Yeah, when you say the Lakers are looking scared, what's that look like As a player, what makes you tip off on that the kind of the

shell shocked look, you know, kind of wide eyed. Like even guys like Lebron, who is you know, neither one or two all time best players to play basketball, you can tell he's almost like man like these guys are. They just keep coming Lake He's will score and the Phoenix will get the ball out of the net and just push it. And that is the response that you need to have if you're the Sons, you need to matter what happens, keep pushing it, keep pushing it, keep

pushing it. And they're dictating the pace, they're dictating the physicality, and you know, in the playoffs, it's not always who's most talented, it's who's toughest, the grittiest, and the Suns are really showing that to me. So it's it's been impressive to watch. And what about the other two series? Again, we're recording this Tuesday morning, so by Thursday will know

some answers. But what are you seeing in some of those? Yeah, Denver Portlands another one of those tight lock series at two two, and I see almost an old school way of basketball playing out in those series, because you got some these big guys, you got the Kis who is probably gonna be m VP if Nurkic and these guys colliding, uh, these big monsters of humans shooting midrange jump shots. C J. McCullum, who was on the show, loves his midrange game, Carmelo

Anthony King mid range King step back. It's one of these things that it's almost this old school nineties style of basketball that has been really fun to watch. It's kind of a throwback game. And then you have guys like Damian Lillard and Michael Porter Jr. Who are as talented as people that will ever find mixed in between making these ridiculous shots and these acrobatic layups. It's been a really fun series. Like I said, this kind of

throwback style with this new school incorporated. So Denver Portland for those basketball peerists, this is a fun series. And whoever comes out of this series I think actually has a chance to take the West. I don't know. I think the West is more tight locked than the East, and I think whoever wins this Denver Portland series has a chance to win the West. I know that's a three six matchup, but it's just these two teams have

some depth and toughness to them. And like I said, this could be my prediction, I could be the only one predicting this, but I think the winner of this series has a chance to win the West and then in l A in Dallas. It's been the ultimate flip flop series. You know, Dallas kills the Clippers both games in l A and then turn around Clippers take both in Dallas. And this doesn't bode well for the Mavericks.

You know, they're led by Luca and Kristaps and Tim Hardaway Jr. The Clippers they got some dogs and when you have Kawhi Leonard and Paul George leading the ship here, this is trouble zone for for the Mavericks because when a team like the Clippers, who people think we're softer back down last year they responded to two losses at home and go into Dallas, a tough place to win, and snatch it from him and Kauai who just looks like a robot out there doing whatever he wants when

he's playing at this level, and Paul George as well, they are forced to be reckoned with, so they are dangerous if they wrapped the series up. Another that's another team that could make a push here and uh, you know this is They've been impressive winning these two games. I'm excited to see what happens to finish this one up. Okay, that was really good. Again. I always say to you that I think you have a great future and being an analyst if you want to hop on the mic

and get in the family business. Okay, but now I'm going to break down the East, right, So I want to start with Nets Celtics. Remember the Celtics how to win their play in game to face number two Brooklyn and they're currently up in the series three one. They play tonight Tuesday night, so we'll know by Thursday. But look, the Nets really gave it to them in the fourth game. They put up a hundred forty one points. But this game got way more attention for the drama with Kyrie Irving.

He did this kind of stomp on the mid court leprechn logo, which you know what, whatever, we see this in sports all the time. Football players do it all the time on the midfield logo. They've even planted flags midfield. But then a Celtics fan took it way too far. They threw a water bottle at Kyrie's head, got arrested. It was a whole deal. So it's not good for the narrative of Boston sports fans. And this, by the way, was the first game game with full capacity, So we're

seeing this all in this first series. People throwing popcorn at Russell Westbrook, spitting on Tree Young, saying awful things to job Morant's family, running on the court in Washington. We're seeing awful behavior from fans who have been pent up for a year and not going to games for a year. But this is this is an excusable What do you make of this? Yeah, it's not good. Players and fans both have a line they can't cross, and the players are trying to do their job, especially in

the playoff environment. You're pent up, you have aggression, you have adrenaline. You don't want someone coming into your workspace and in trying to distract you, trying to touch you, trying to you know, we're at we're at work, and so you know, these fans got to understand that we are not toys or zoo animals. We are trying to do our job and you're there to watch cheer, boo, yell, scream, whatever.

Just don't get physical, don't cross that line. You're in seats for a reason, and I have the support of the players seats of a reason. Yeah, I have. I have the support of the players. We got to be protected and we're trying to do a job like we said and give the fans a good product. I like that. What's the worst thing you've ever had said to you? And is it more college or pro or is it

in Europe? What is it? Probably in Europe? Yeah, the fans like in Siabia will throw things on the court and throw batteries at you, lighters, so that's probably where it's the worst. Yeah, it gets a little dangerous or heard of smoke bomb stories, so you're rope. It's a different culture in a different world. Oh my gosh, that is wild. And in general, fans in Europe are so animated and the cheers it's like soccer like they stand on their feet the whole time. It's really fun. Yeah,

on their feet, wistening chance flags. It's it's fun. Oh my gosh, so fun. Okay, moving on Nick's Hawks. They play Wednesday night again. We'll know the answer. But the Hawks are going into Madison Square Garden up three, one chance to advance and This one has been spicy. It's been physical, drama, emotional. There is no love lost between these two. So the Hawks, I'm sure, are eager to move on. And then Buck's heat, that's been the only sweep so far. The last game they won by seventeen,

six players in double digits. And they played at Miami, played in the finals last year. They look nothing like that in this round one playoffs, Sam, real quick, why did the Heat look so bad? Just different environment and bubble is different. You know, the young guys in the bubble could step up. They didn't feel the pressure from the fans, they didn't have travel. You know, it's completely

It was almost more a U style. And the Bucks, I think they're feeling they won't respond, especially honest he seems boys. But I think the difference maker there is Drew Holiday. He brings that toughness, he brings that mentality. I love Drew Holiday. I've been a Drew Holiday fan my whole life. Yeah, and there's nothing he can't do. And off the court too. You just you love that family.

Why oh, just incredible guy, incredible people. They've been through a lot, they gave back lots of New Orleans and now you know in Milwaukee and they just pledge I think was a four million I could be wrong. Million dollars the other day, just helping people good well you know, kind hearted but also unbelievable basketball players. So this is you know, this is something that I see for the Bucks. You know, this is a guy they want around and I think they have a good chance to win the East.

Awesome and small disclaimer. We are Bucks fans where Wisconsin Swords fans. And then the last series in the seventy Sixers and Wizards. So Game four was wild Monday night. Philly was up three nothing, chance to close it out, but they lose the game. They also lose Joel and Bead with the knee injury, and that was when a Wizard's fan ran on the court. But look, they avoid a sweep. Philly is up three one, so it's exciting to see if the Wizards Canna can pull that one out. Sam,

great job, thank you doing my best. You know you said this could be in the future, so you never know. And I love I love talking hoops and giving some insights. So this is as a player, this is fun for me as well, and I love putting you to work, whether it's cleaning up our dog's footprints in the main hallway, or helping me out on the podcast Thank You coming up Next. As we like to do on the show, a lot talk about movies that pertain to our topic.

So this week we thought, what about good date night sports movies? You'll want to catch it? Okay, Sam? When

we're not binging a Netflix show, I feel like we are big movie watchers. I love cozine in, opening a bottle of wine, cabernet, you know it, and watching a movie. But it's even better if we both love the movie, and if it's kind of like a sports topic that also has some romance. So I charged you with the task of making a little list, and I'm curious if any of ours overlap. So if you don't mind, I'll start.

That's fine. Is that how a lot of marriage conversations go. Okay, well, I guess this will this will probably get a little competitive to it. Think no, no, no, I just think it's good if you're a girl listening, if you're like, oh, my guy loves this sport, what's a good movie we can watch? So I want to start with the most romantic sports movie of all time, Love and Basketball. Yes,

pulls up all your heart strings. It is so romantic, so sweet, kind of will make you cry or make you want to go hoop, It'll make you want to do everything. What do you think of that one? Well, to be honest, this was also my number one. Really, I wanted to hit on loving Basketball. So I think we get some brownie points in in our marriage for that one. Yeah, Loving Basketball unbelievable movie. I think the thing I love about Loving Basketball is what I love.

Love and Basketball. The whole movie. Their life is almost like they're going through a game of basketball. There's up and downs, nump and downs, and they have to find, you know, the right things that work. And I think it's a beautiful movie. And I think that's great to uh you know, as a kid, you watch it, you want to fall in love with that movie. So I'm glad you love that one too, Honey. Do you want my number two? Yes, Seftball that was on my list too. Really, Yes,

that is such a heartbreaker. We did not do this one together. No, I don't even know if I've watched this one with you. Yeah, we have, we have, and it's really unexpected and sad. Well, Jake Jillan Hall is amazing in it. It's the one sports movie that I've cried to. So that's why I had to put it on. Because if you're with if you're with a lady and you show that tender side of you, I think you'll you'll you'll move up in her power ranking. So to

show that tender size self. Pall has everything. It's got the highs, it's got the lowss, got great music, the guy. You know. I don't want to spoil everything, but it's such a redemption story and I'll lose everything and trying to get a backstory, and wow, two for two for us. I know, Okay, this next one, I don't think you'll have, but I think it's a great love story, love that

is romantic and family and everything. Draft Day Jennifer Garner, Kevin Costner, I did not expect you to have Draft Day, but I did not have it on there explain I love that movie so much. So Kevin Costner, who we also love in Yellowstone, Oh my gosh, he's the GM

of the Browns. And Jennifer Garner. I want to say it's like his secretary or something less stereotypical than that, but they are expecting their first child together and no one knows, and it's the draft, and it's really, I think, kind of realistic of what that week of being a GM and the NFL must look like, you know, minus the pregnant secretary. I think. But it's such a good movie and such a good story. Don't you love that movie? That is good? No, I do love it. I do

love it. I just didn't. There's a lot of movies that could be on the similar I mean, I think in that same regard as kind of Moneyball we've which we've watched together. That was on my list, GM centric, family centric, not being with your family centric, you know, the type of thing, also historical, just great movie. I didn't have it on my list because I didn't don't think it would be high on your list. So that's

why I didn't put it. I did put it high on my list because to fit our theme of what's a great date night sports movie? I think if you're maybe not into sports, if you're a girl. I don't want to stereotype, but if you're a girl who's not into sports and you want to watch sports movie with your man, you know, at least you get to sit and look at Brad Pitt for like two hours. So that's not a bad kayf or Jonah, Okay, what about

Fever Pitch, Drew Barrymore, Jimmy Fallon. So I was thinking of this, but I was like, is this to you know, dating? And I know I didn't know if we were supposed to put funny that is like the ultimate date fevorit pitch Fenaway Park. You know, so much romance within Fenerway Park and the nostalgia of baseball. I was thinking about it, but again, you're not the biggest baseball girl, so I was thinking more along your lines. So the One but I love that movie. It is great movie. But the

one movie that I thought you would have. And if I were thinking for Olivia Harland Decker, what movie would she want to watch? That's if she wants to watch something easy but also sports centric. I'll remember The Titans because you love Remember the Titans? I do. Who doesn't

though that every age? Every person loved that movie. I know I had one that I don't you know, I did four because I didn't know if you want a top three top of so four I think one that's important to watch, and I think is an awesome movie forty two about Jackie Robinson. Yeah, I've never seen it. I think it's so important historically, and I think it's

so important currently. And you know, him in getting signed, breaking the color area and baseball, I mean, made a dream come true for himself, but then for so many other young men and women during that time period and still to this day. You know, it's so good in Chadwick Bosman Rest in Peace, I mean to him to play Jackie Robinson and the things that he was able

to do in his acting career. I just think such a good movie, one that I think not just baseball fans should watch, but everyone should watch to see what Jackie went through and to this day that is still remembering. So I think that is such a good good movie to watch. Um for yourself. Well, now I know what we're doing tonight, So thank you for your list. Coming up next, Peter Andrew joins us for our lions Lock.

Joining us now, Peter Andrew with our bet MGM lions Lock. He's going to tell you where to put your money this weekend so that you come out looking smart and feeling rich. Peter Andrew, thank you for joining us. And Sam I'm a little embarrassed because this is the other man in my life lately. I know, I've been listening to him a lot lately, and I'm like, who's this guy?

Olivia keeps saying these in depth conversations. Yeah, I just wanted to get a piece of That's why I came on today to talk to him about some hoops, but also get to know who is this guy? Peter. So, Peter, thanks for coming on. What's up man? How are you guys? Sam? Big fan? So nice to have the whole power couple on board here today. Oh that's good. That's good. Well, we were just talking off air about Joel and Beads injury and what that means to some of the bets

going forward. So, um, Peter, how does that affect everything? And Sam, what's your thought too on Ebid's impact on the team. Yeah, I mean it's tough. I told you guys, I've been a kind of a big supporter of the Sixers.

I know everybody's all over Brooklyn, but I think with you know, indeed, obviously they're their force, but now with this injury that's happened, this knee ornus, I think you have to start looking a couple of different directions, maybe looking at a at a Brooklyn at Milwaukee both having pretty pretty good first rounds, and there's a lot you probably have to look at. The West is wide open. I've mentioned a couple of times. I love the Clippers coming out of their Lakers now with a bit of

trouble with a D hurt. So yeah, you have to start thinking different things. Where my head has been at is exact matchups. So so thinking about Milwaukee potentially against against the Clippers plus fourteen hundreds to go to the NBA Finals, as much as it pain is going to say it, looking at Brooklyn potential the same, I think odds just slightly slightly worse, but but similar in themselves. And then you really have to start thinking about, you know,

NBA Finals, MVPs as well for sure. And I actually touched on early in the show how tightly packed the West is. I feel like there could be four teams that could come out of the West. You never know. So the East is a little bit easier to navigate because Brooklyn has been so strong, Milwaukee getting a sweet you know, they'll have some some rested legs, and now here with the Sixers, Sixers were one of my favorites to coming out of the East. But without Joel, you

don't know what that and he is. You know, now with modern medicine and you know, these guys freaking athletes, they can bounce back. But without him this year they were a sub five hundred team, so they need him to be him. You know, he's a seven ft one giants of a human being that can move like a guard. You need that on the court if you want to come out of the East. So you may spell trouble for them if Philly isn't full strength. But I still

like them or Brooklyn coming out of the East. You know, I love watching Milwaukee do well because where we're from. Me and Olivia live still in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. But you know, having they're starting to guard Di Vincenzo out for the rest of playoffs, their depth is gonna go to be a little shot. I still just like Philly, your Boston

or Philly, your Brooklyn excuse me, coming out of the East. Yeah, absolutely, I'd wonder to get your thoughts too on that one other team that we probably haven't talked about, Atlanta looking to uh clean up against the Knicks. What do you think their chances are. I actually love Atlanta. It's it's one of those things though, that it's just the powerhouse of Brooklyn, you know, that realm of possibility that Brooklyn is firing alls on all cylinders. I don't know if

they can be bested, but Atlanta is fun. You know. They're young and exciting and athletic, like a bunch of freak athletes, and that's that's part of the thing. It's almost as they don't know any better, you know, they're just out there playing hard. Training On's accepted this role as the heel of the NBA right now, yelling at the Madison Square Garden fans. It's it's you love to

see it. These guys are fearless. They have big sprinkling, a couple of vets of guys that have been in big spots of Gallinari, but a lot of them are still just young guys having fun. And that's you kind of see that with Phoenix as well. It's just guys having fun, playing hard and really just throwing the first punch. And that's huge in the playoffs, and they're they're gonna be exciting in the next round if they beat the next year, I in the spirit of fun, Trey Young

NBA Finals m v P plus six. It's gonna take a lot for him to win that obviously to get there, but like I said, in the spirit of fun, ten bucks to win six sixty, I think it's a good one. As you mentioned, if you're not a if you're not a Knicks fan, I think you're respecting what he's doing. The heel of the NBA, at least for the last week, it's one that everybody can ride. Well. It's amazing seeing a guy as young as he is fully embracing the

MSG crowd yelling at am, screaming atam. And that's what I love about playoff basketball is one Trey Young's not taking it personally from the crowd and the crowd is not taking it. They both love it. They both are gonna act mad and that they hate each other, but MASSR Square Garden wants somebody yell at. They craved that every time, and then Trey Young's fully like, this is cool, this is fun. I'll embrace it. And Trey is a

great guy, a young guy, kind heart. But the fact that he's like, okay, I'll do this, it's really cool. And it gives one. I think the TV broadcasts love it, but also the fans and the players love it too, and you can just beat off of that for the playoffs. Peter, you mentioned finals M v P. What are some of the other odds and names that people should know? What do you like there? Yeah? So I think in this case you have to stay away from Brooklyn. You've got

three guys that potentially could win it. I mean, Duran's the odds on favorite. I think he's plus four fifty right now. But between the three of them, the other day they succored I think a hundred four points. So it really tells you that anybody could win it. So that leads me to leave you stay away from that. Couple others that I like. I think Kawhi Leonard plus eleven hundred. He looked good the last couple of games. I think he's got sixty some points in his last

two games, be honest, plus six fifty. Again, I'm thinking of teams that have that real one superstar that if they win the finals, that that's the guy that's going to take him there, and then it ultimately depends on Mbia's health. If a team like the six can can get healthy and get there. It's got to be with embiid. He's plus nine hundred. If they do win the finals, you know he's the guy that's going to take him there.

And Peter, I don't have it in front of me, But do you have Paul George's odds at finals MVP? Because I think that could be a cool story because everyone's ragging on him, and if they go to the finals and he has even a good finals you know, twenty four points per game type of thing, I think he could win that or just as this big redemption story, you know what I mean? So what are what are

his odds? So funny enough, I mentioned kawais plus eleven hundred, Paul George not too far behind him at plus fourteen hundred. But I think the way you look at it, you can sprinkle a little bit on both of those guys and you get really good value. So even if you take one or the other again to the point of mid four, if if the Clippers are winning it, it's got to be one or two of those guys. So even if you put twenty bucks on each, the payout you're gaining is is pretty sizeable. So I think he

can't go wrong. If if George kind of plays his part the way he started this first round, I think it's got to be both of them that help help take them to the finals and ultimately win the title. Totally great. So Peter, looking forward to this weekend, some series are going to go to six, seven games. Where is a really safe bet if you're a little tentative

and want to put a hundred bucks somewhere? Well, first off, I did have Blazers Nuggets going to uh seven if you remember a couple of weeks ago, that was one of my big bets. Yeah, you know, I think that serious has kind of played out the way I hoped it would. I think you've got guys like Joke It's on one side that are i mean, m VP of the league. But then you've got the three point shooting of a team like the Blazers Dame, You've got Covington who can hit threes. You've got a lot of guys

there that can do that. So I wanted to just make sure I'm finally getting a bet, right. I think that's going to seven. As for the other series, I guess it really depends. I'm expecting Philly to wrap it up in six, so I think that I'm sorry in five. I think that series goes for one. Nick's probably extend this series. I think that's a safe bet, especially going back to the Garden. I think that's going at least to Atlanta, potentially going seven games. I mean, we haven't

seen anything from Julius Randall. At some point, he's got to come out of his shell. I know, yeah, close to twenty the other day, but the deficiency just has been there. I think eventually they have a breakout game. They extend that series a little bit. As much as I love training the guys, I think it goes six or seven for sure. I think Julius breaks out here live averages. Well, thank you so much, Peter. It's fun to have my work husband and my real husband here
