(00:00):
The gambler starts. Now here's AdamKauffman. What's up, everybody. The
Bruins are out to a three toone advantage at the end of two periods
on the Florida Panthers in Sunrise,Florida, Game one off their second round
set. So yes, since welast spoke, the Bees they advanced.

(00:21):
They avoided a second consecutive Game sevencollapse in as many years in the opening
round after going up by ironically enough, the same score we have tonight.
They were up three to one inthe series against Florida. Last year blew
it lost injuries, you could pointto some of those, but really it
was a collapse. This year.There were no excuses, no potential skategoats.

(00:43):
It would have just been got alittle too tight and didn't deliver.
And the Bees they found away inovertime, and David Pasternock found a way
for us as well, which wasso nice. Game seven goes to the
Bees and so they advance second round. Everyone can take a deep breath and
just sort of reset, knowing it'snot backs against the wall. Same story,

(01:04):
of course for the Celtics and Cavaliers. When they tip off Game one
of their second round set tomorrow.Not that the Seas in their opening round
wherever in Jeopardy ever even tested reallyby Miami, other than that absurd shooting
spree by the heat in game two, was all Seas from there, Like
we told you it was going tobe, by the way, and so
now we just get to again resetand we know that we have games all

(01:30):
week long and for the better partof a couple of weeks. It's awesome.
Tonight Bruins, Tomorrow, Celtics,Wednesday, Bruins, Thursday, Celtics.
That'll be the end of our showweek, but it's every other every
other until the end of these series. It is absolutely fantastic. Dan Watkins,
you know, we'll talk a lotabout, you know, both hockey

(01:52):
and NBA. Tonight we're going tohave our buddy Jeff Ulrich from Fantasy Life,
the Fantasy Grind. He is goingto join us, get some be's
reaction, talk Stanley Cup playoffs withhim, look ahead the games tomorrow.
We'll do that. In the secondhour. We will mix in a little
bit of baseball. Mark Zeno fromSports Grid is going to join us check
in on MLB but heavy in thisopening hour on the NBA, and we

(02:15):
have got a nail bier coming downthe wire here the Knicks. They are
up by two, make it threewith ten seconds left at home against the
Pacers as predicted. And I cansay that because it was an official show
pick a high scoring affair. Thetotal was only two seventeen and a half.
It is sitting right now at twothirty seven. After a relatively slow

(02:36):
start the Pacers. They are pacedup. So yeah, it is all
all up to our butt, ourbuddy here, Brian. But Brian on
the board to bring home the people'sparlay. We'll see if he can do
it. Because you Dan were onobi top and over nine and a half
points, it clear that again Iwas on the over in this game.
Cleared that Brian here has minus sixand a half. Expecting the Denver Nuggets

(02:59):
to even things up with the MinnesotaTimberwolves tonight, that game is going to
get started. After this one Nickswin four point victory one twenty one,
one seventeen. They go up onenothing in that series and no shock there.
I have been saying for a while, I feel like we were on
a Celtics Knicks Eastern Conference Finals collisioncourse. Knicks have taken one step closer.

(03:19):
Yeah, yeah, no good win, good comeback win too. They
were down by with a down doubledigits at one point. I wasn't watching
this one as close obviously with theBruins on, but I know Indiana was
up in the third quarter there.But it did good comeback win for the
next they should take care of businessin this series against the Pacers. But
hopefully this this series leads to avery profitable one for us, because I
felt like we had a really good, really good feel for game one here

(03:40):
in this one, and hopefully thatcontinues throughout this series. Sure hope.
So we have not hit a people'sparlay in a while. We won't unfortunately
know about this one until we areoff the air. We will be,
you know, sweating this thing.Let's I mean, regardless, we'll be
sweating it. But it'd be niceif, like the Bruins or the Nuggets
are up by thirty points when wesign up off, then we could at
least feel good about it. Butin all likelihood it's going to be a

(04:02):
close game. I will say Imentioned this to the guys over our text
threat earlier. I did, priorto knowing Brian's play obviously, because I
never would have intentionally gone against him. I did play Minnesota with the points
just on my own and it wasfive and a half at the time.
The line climbed, obviously, andyou know that was I want to say,

(04:24):
before we knew that Rudy Gobert wasnot going to play, and there
were still for several hours after alittle bit of uncertainty there not Unlike Brandon
Carlow, there is a new babyin the family, big dad energy for
Carlow tonight scoring a goal. Youguys were texting about that one earlier.
Was what thirteen to one on thatgoal. Yep, So we saw the

(04:46):
Nuggets line climb a little bit.We got it at six and a half,
And naturally, while I do havemy personal play, I will always
root for the people's parlay. So'sgo. Let's hope the Denver Nuggets bring
this thing home. Yeah, yeah, I like the Nuggets tonight a lot.
There's a couple different props with theNuggets too. I haven't did not
a show pick, but I did. I tonight feels like a Joker triple

(05:06):
double night to me, it's beenit's been a minute, and you know,
he doesn't go too long without withoutthrowing one in there. So I
think tonight's the night with no withno Gobert two uh for Minnesota. So
I like the Nuggets to take careof business. So I like Brian,
and Brian's been Brian's been hot withhis picks. So yes, I appreciate
the support. Yeah, why couldn'tyou have made Mason lowri like literally four

(05:30):
minutes before the face off? Whateven drew you to that? Like?
I understand the Carlow narrative, butwhat took you to low ride? I
typically pick a goal scorer every inthe playoffs, every Bruins game, like
the way lower has been playing,So I took like the odds. All
right, Hey listen, hits ithits right. That's the bottom line with
this thing. How did the KentuckyDerby treat you? Guys? I got

(05:53):
a very all of a story foryou, But yeah, I want to
know how things went for you.Yeah, I wish I you know,
if I if I had known anybetter. And if he runs Preakness,
I'll give out the expert advice.Just bet the horse that shares a name
with you and you're good to go. I mean, I did I throw
some money on Mystic Dan and thatwas just a wild derby and a wild
finish and yeah, paid out nicely. It was a profitable day. And
then we had the Bruins Imposternoch laterthat night. So Saturday was a good

(06:16):
day. Awesome, Brian. Idid not I I placed like one winner
on I already forget the name.He was a number eight and he did
not win. So I went tothis Kentucky derby party, as we've done
the last couple of years, abunch of friends here in town, and
and you know, the all ofus adults and the kids, and everyone

(06:39):
gets excited. It's it's it's notfull on theme to the point where like
everyone's wearing crazy hats and suits andall that stuff. But there are certain
themes throughout the day. And oneof them obviously and involves, you know,
rooting on certain horses. You know, pick pick your plays and all
of that. But of course theadults, the kids can't do it,
but the adults, you know,we we decided we're gonna wager on this

(06:59):
thing a little naturally. And youknow, I've got not that I know
anything not horse racing is not mything, but I got my Intel,
you know, from Chris Carney,who was on with us, was texting
him a little bit. He's doinghis trainer research and getting all tapped in
and all that, and I'm sendingyou guys what he's telling us and talking
to a couple other people that Iknow that know a lot more about this

(07:20):
stuff than me. And anyway,long story short, there are five families,
I want to say, So wedecide that just got got greedy,
got greedy and decided to bet onit. It was a group bet so
everyone. It was one hundred dollarsbet I think it was ultimately between all
the families, and we built asuper effecta box which for anyone that doesn't

(07:46):
know, means you need to getout of the twenty horses, you need
to get the first four that finishcorrect in any order. And we got
three of the four. The onlyone we missed, of course, was
Mystic Dan Oh tough. And Imean it's it's such a long shot gamble

(08:07):
obviously, to think that you're gonnaever nail one of those things and getting
three out of four pays nothing.By the way, obviously, it's such
a tease, such an greasent becauseI don't even know what the odds like.
I mean, it would have paidout thousands of dollars if we had
actually hit it, and uh andnever you know, we were never going
to But well, the thing withhorse racing too is that you don't know

(08:28):
the odds until the race goes off, right, because even like the thing
with horse racing that you got toremember is if even if you place your
bet, your Derby winner, yourPriaked This winner next week, you know
on Tuesday, those odds are goingto change and whatever they go off at
is what your odds are, right. So I don't know if I like
that or hate it. I mean, I guess it. You know it.
It removes any advantage of attempting toget a better number earlier in the

(08:54):
day, you know, just comparingit to other sports, right, I
mean, it's what makes it unique. Yeah, So I like it for
the one for the on off sport. If every sport was like that,
i'd hate it. But all right, I like it for the one off.
It's what makes horse racing so muchfun. Part of the reason.
So I sort of gave the recapof obviously what's going on in Boston sports
and the red Sox was still playingwell. By the way, we could
talk a little bit about them muchlater in the show when Zeno joins us.

(09:18):
But it's all right now about theCeltics and Bruins. How are you
guys feeling? And it's you know, I'm sure you're feeling pretty good about
the Bees right now, at leastin game one, third periods underway,
up three to one, though thePanthers are on the power play. But
in terms of both of these series, and we don't have any at least
on the Bruins. We could dothe Celtics, I suppose, but there's
just no value at all. Wedon't have any series bets on either of

(09:45):
these. You know, we're takingit game by game, day by day,
all of that good stuff. Howare you guys feeling about these series?
I can share my thoughts, butplease go ahead, Dan, So
I'll start with the Bruins. Ithought there was a good shot that the
Bees could could sneak up and pickoff the pant tonight, and I texted
you guys that this morning that Iwas debating it. I did end up
playing it. I got it atplus one forty, so hopefully they hang

(10:05):
on here and also for our bankroll repair too. If we lose that,
then we got big issues if mybank roll repaired does not cash tonight.
But yeah, I thought the Bruinscould pick off the Panthers tonight with
Florida not playing in a week.You see this in the NHL all the
time, that you know, theseteams when they have a full week or
more off, that they're a littlerusty. The legs just aren't there.
Florida did come out, you know, fairly fairly hot, and they were

(10:28):
firing all over the place. ButI thought there was a good chance the
Bruins were in their groove playing everyother night already, that they'd be ready
to go tonight and they might beable to get the Panthers here. And
right now it's looking like it.Hopefully they hold on here. But I
do like Florida to win this series. I would pick Panthers in six,
still would even with tonight, evenif they lose tonight. We've seen the
Bruins do this so many times inthe past, where they win Game one
and then they just fall apart,like they did to Tampa back to back

(10:50):
years. I think they did tothe Islanders too, or against the Islanders
they did it as well. SoI do think Florida comes out on top
and emerges from this round. ButI hope I'm wrong obviously, But that's
that's the way I would go withthat one. Celtics, the only value
really is is to try to figureout the exact series odd line, right
right. I saw a bunch ofI don't know if you saw this,

(11:11):
some of the Action Network guys,Brandon Anderson was leading the charge betting on
Celtics minus one and a half atminus three ninety wow, and was you
know, like Jim Turvey. Heposted it on his Action Network page.
He did a four unit bet onthat. And I mean, that's kind
of what you have to do.If you're going to bet something that is
minus three ninety, you better puta lot of money on it because if

(11:35):
because if you don't, I mean, where's the value in the return?
There isn't. Yeah, and Brandon'sargument, in short, you know,
he wrote a whole article about it, but the short version of his argument
was, this is just inevitable.This is going to happen. This is
free money. And if you could, as he put it, stash one
hundred dollars, you know somewhere andthen go back a week later and it

(11:56):
magically turned into one hundred and twentysix. Wouldn't you do that? Right?
So that's that's the argument. Ithink just the only other way I
think I would play it is Iwould like split it up between like and
do like a half unit Celtics infive and then into the other half Celts
twin and six. I don't justgoing seven at all. Celtics can very
well sweep them, but I wouldI would take the Celtics in five as

(12:16):
my as my favorite play. Yeah, it makes sense, makes a lot
of sense. They will they willhave that one night where they just borderlined
are just asleep. Well as asI said on my Celtics Speed podcast,
one game and it doesn't mean they'llnecessarily lose, but I just figure this
will be the game they lose.One game is going to be the Max
Druce game, sure, or theDownovan Mitchell game. I think They're going

(12:39):
to be multiple Donovan Mitchell games.I don't think Max Druce is going to
drop thirty on you, you knowa bunch you know Mitchell, like he's
your guy, especially with the uncertaintysurrounding Jared Allen like, if it's not
Mitchell, they're going down to quicksweep. It's not even gonna be competitive
one, So you know he he'dbetter drop forty a couple of times just

(13:00):
to even keep the caps close.That's the way that I see it.
But we can get into it andsee if if our buddy Nick Whalon,
of course from Rhad to Wire feelsthe same way, he's going to come
on with us when we come back. We'll do a people's parlay in this
opening hour. We will continue totrack how things are going with all live
picks and most importantly this Bruins game. Get it done, Bees, because

(13:20):
it doesn't matter what happens from here. What matters is that you start off
on the right skate, if youwill and take game one. We'll be
back. It's the Gambler with AdamKaufman here on WRKO. We are back
the Gambler with Adam Kaufman and theBruins up three to one on the Panthers,
about fourteen minutes to go in regulation. I always, I guess I

(13:41):
just some of this stuff. Youknow, it's happening in real time.
I care, Dan cares, Briancares, the listeners care. But when
I say that, I mean thelive listeners, because I feel bad when
I just constantly am updating the games, and then people on the podcast who
listen the next day or later thenight or whenever it is, they're like,
yeah, I don't care. Ialready know. I know what happened

(14:03):
here, So I'm sorry. I'msorry. They've got to mix some of
that stuff in though for the livepeople. And you know, you just
happen to be special and ahead ofus because you know how this is gonna
play out, but not us,not us, And we're looking to cash
Dan's bank roll repair, which waseven money. I was just saying to
Brian, it's I mean, it'sbasically done. The only way and I'm

(14:24):
not saying it can't happen, butthe only way that Dan's bankroll repair loses
is if the Bruins should, againup three to one, happen to lose
this game by two plus goals.Yeah, so they get outscored by four
and thirteen minutes. Correct, Sounlikely, but you know, not impossible.
It would be a meltdown of epicproportions. But hopefully we can cash

(14:48):
that plus one hundred that even moneybet and give ourselves another unit gained.
Tonight. We'll keep you posted oneverything going on, including, of course
this Timberwolves and Nuggets game. Wespeaking of. Michael Is having a meltdown
on the court right now, ishe. I've got the Bruins game on,
You've got the multiple screens set up. I do that and the Bruins
just went up for one two,So we're looking real good, looking,
real good. Who scored it?Uh? Is that was it? Carlo?

(15:11):
Again? No it was not.It was Brazil? Yeah, who
are no? I mean, Iknow who who are these guys? Know?
But like it's it isn't it kindof funny like between Brazil and Geeky
and Carlow, who obviously has beenaround a long time. Low ride Like
these are your goal scoring Oh it'sgreat in game one tonight? Not you
know, even Coyle Debrusque, MarshawnPoster knock Zaka is a disappearing act.

(15:37):
He he's gonna Macavoy like, well, I just mean it. In terms
of scoring goals, he is.I don't think he has a playoff goal
in his career, in his life, yeah, maybe not even in not
even with the doubles, even thebig talk going into this series was the
Bruins needs secondary scoring and they aregetting that and then some tonight, hopefully
it continues throughout the series. Uh, and that's this isn't just like the

(16:00):
only goals they get from these guys, because they're gonna need it throughout the
entire series here, No, withouta doubt. So nice productive game for
sure, and it's fun to see. Fun to see obviously. So let's
get some NBA because we got alot to talk about there the two games,
one already done, the other theTimberwolves are up early against the Nuggets.
Again. We need the Nugs minussix and a half as a show

(16:22):
bet to complete the people's parlay,and hopefully it happens. But the Wolves,
they're up by five right now,about three minutes to go in the
opening quarter. A shout out toour guy prop Bomb. He gave out
earlier on social media too, notjust his private discord over twelve and a
half points for Aaron Gordon as oneof his favorite plays. Tonight he gave
out I think four plays and firstquarter cash Aaron Gordon on fine, so

(16:45):
you gotta love that. Thirteen pointsand Jokich has four and that is the
Denver offense so far. But let'sbring in our buddy Nick Whalen, of
course from Road to Wire, andhe is he does a lot. He
is a senior analyst over there,host on Serious XM, NBA, Serious
XM Fantasy. You can get himon Twitter, you know by now Whalen

(17:08):
it's a number one, not theletter l Nick. What's up, bud?
Going on? Guys? All thathockey talk coming back from break kind
of scared me. I'm really hopingyou're not gonna ask me for any takes
on the National Hockey League, butI'm more than happy to weigh in on
the NBA. I have no idea, by the way, how Mike Malone
was not teed up or even tossedfrom that game. They kind of cut

(17:30):
the break because he was going noseto nose with the official. But Twitter
is telling me that apparently he wasnot teed up. Wow. Yeah,
he was having a full on meltdown, like I was saying, he was
right, yeah, right in therest face. They probably spit on each
other if I had to guess,Well, so I won't be asking you,
Nick, how you feel about theABS puck line as dogs tomorrow night
in Dallas. Don't worry not actually, you know, won't be throwing that

(17:52):
action. We will talk plenty though, as it relates to games coming up
tomorrow in the NBA, there area couple, including Game one involving the
Celtics and Cavaliers. But first,let's talk a little bit about what we've
seen tonight and what we have inprogress here. So I mentioned you heard
it the Nuggets an official show playto cover tonight. Were you on Denver
to bounce back and even this seriesat home after dropping a close Game one?

(18:15):
Or have you seen something from AnthonyEdwards in the Timberwolves that has you
believing that this could legitimately be inMinnesota series win they take care of business
in Denver. Here, I'm goingto answer both. I think Denver wins
this game tonight. That that wasmy play coming into tonight. But I
think we have to take what wesaw in Game one very seriously, right.

(18:37):
I think Denver gets off to anotherslow start, which we saw several
times really in all five games againstthe Alia Lakers. They were down eighteen
to four early in that game againstMinnesota, and of course, what did
the Nuggets do? They storm back. They end up leading by the end
of the first quarter, but itwas a game that went back and forth.
You know, kind of felt likeit was between four and seven points
for most of the second and half. And you know, Denver so many

(19:00):
times in that Lakers series we sawa foot the switch right, and you
just you're watching the game, didn'teven really matter what the score was.
You just kind of thought to yourself, Yeah, I think I know how
this is gonna end. You know, the Lakers are gonna commit a couple
critical errors, the Nuggets are gonnahit some really tough shots Jamal Murray and
Dkoli Yoki. You are gonna closethis thing out, and it's gonna be
the same story that we saw withDenver last postseason. And you know,
I think I was guilty of ofjust kind of assuming that would carry over.

(19:22):
And I think Minnesota caught Denver alittle bit off guard with their execution
late in that game last night,and granted, you know, Denver missed
some of the shots that were goingdown more often in that Lakers series.
Was not an eight plus performance byany means by Nikola Jokic. You finished
with seven turnovers, already got acouple tonight. By the way, Denver
was a little bit sloppy with theball. But I think what the Nuggets
learned early in the series, guys, is that Minnesota's just hit a better

(19:45):
team than the LA Lakers. Iactually think the Lakers are a pretty decent
team. I'm not one of thoseguys who's piling on LA, you know,
proclaiming a you know, we landalmost eighty percent of the series.
I think the Lakers are a goodteam. I think Denver's just better.
But the Tipperwolves bring a completely differentlevel of competency, a completely different level
of coaching, a different level ofintensity on both sides of the ball.
And most importantly, the Timberwolves haveother guys other than their stars who could

(20:07):
beat you. They have someone likeNasried who could come in and put up
fourteen points in a quarter. Andit's not really something they had to worry
about against LA in Round one.Nick, how big of an impact is
the Jamal Murray calf injury having onthis team, because he just has not
got anywhere close to where his likepoints, props and all that are This
this year, I think it wasor this this series, this playoffs twenty
two and a half for him forpoints tonight. Obviously he's only gone over

(20:27):
that number one time so far inthe playoffs. But just how big is
that injury for this team? It'sreally hard to say, right because he's
on the injury report night to night. And then there are a few guys
that are in that camp, right, I mean, Jalen Brunton has been
on the injury report, Tyres Alibert'sbeen on the report, and you know
they're going to play. It's almostlike what we go through in the regular
season with Lebron and ad where you'relike, Okay, I guess they're questionable,

(20:49):
even though they've played twenty five gamesin a row, Like, there's
never really been any doubt that Murray'sgoing to be out there. And then
you know, you look what hedid in a couple of those Lakers games,
right, I mean, he hadthe game where he started like more
of seventeen from the field, heends up hitting the game winner that really
felt like it drove the final nailinto the Lakers in that series. He
gits another game winner to close itout in Game five. He finished Game
five against the Lakers with thirty twopoints, seven assists, thirteen of twenty

(21:11):
eight from the field, he finallygot the three point shot, going five
to ten. So I kind ofwondered, Okay, at the end of
this Lakers series, you know,is the calf maybe to a spot where
we don't have to worry about thisanymore. But then Game one against Minnesota,
he didn't really look like himself.He didn't look like he had that
next level explosion that makes Jamal Murrayso dangerous and it makes him who he
is. And the fact that heonly played thirty four minutes as well in

(21:32):
Game one and an ultra competitive game, I think that's something to keep an
eye on. Guys. Man.We're at the point in the playoffs where
if you're a top two or threeplayer on your team, you should be
playing forty plus minutes most nights,and Murray did that throughout the Lakers series.
So I don't know if they're tryingto kind of manage this on the
fly. No, he's off toanother slow start tonight. He's taken only
two shots as we near the endof the first quarter. I don't know
what Jamal Murray would tell you.I don't know what the Nuggets would tell

(21:55):
you. They'll they'll probably brush itoff, but I think it's something you'd
have to consider, because as greatas this Nuggets team is, you know,
I know, I was listening tothe Bill simmispod a couple of weeks
ago and he's He's like, man, this is a top three team in
the last twenty years. I thinkthey're in that discussion. But this isn't
one of those rosters that you lookat and it's just littered with future Hall
of famers, right, Like JamalMurray has never even made an All Star
team. This is not It's nota team that has a ton of depth,
Like they need Jamal Murray to bea twenty five point per night guy

(22:19):
to get through a team like Minnesota. So long woitted way of saying Dan
that I think it has to bea concern. We'll get to the Tuesday
games when we come back. Let'sjust first quickly on the Pacers and Knicks.
It was a tight game. Pacersled by quite a bit before the
Knicks storm back outscored him thirty nineto thirty in the fourth quarter. Jalen
Brunson another masterpiece, fourth straight fortypoint game. He had forty three.

(22:42):
Matter of fact, that's five ina row that he has at least thirty
nine. Dude is just on anotherlevel right now as Tibbs continues to run
his guys into the ground. Iexpect the Knicks to win this series,
said it coming in. Do youthink, though, this is going to
be a long series after what yousaw tonight? I was on the record
that I liked the Knickson five andI was surprised looking at the DraftKings sportsbook

(23:03):
over the weekend that that is thefavorite outcome per sees and it has the
shortest odds if you're looking at theexact result for the series. Based on
what we saw tonight, I thinkthe Pacers are going to be game for
a fight. Guys. I wouldnot be surprised if this does, you
know, go six games seven maybewould surprise me. I think the Knick
scouts of paperable calls certainly late inthis game, maybe especially the Biles Turner

(23:25):
movie screen at the end. That'sjust brutal. You kind of knew as
soon as that went to replay,like, yeah, I guess he was
technically moving. You just kind oflike to see that go uncalled. You
know, that's kind of a spiritof the game type of call to me,
But I think Indiana absorbed a lotof the blows from the Knicks that
the Sixers weren't really able to attimes in that series. And I was
impressed with what I saw from thePacer tonight. And that's not a night
where you know, Pascal Siaka tooka while to get going. You know,

(23:48):
Indiana didn't shoot it remarkably from three. You know, they only took
twenty six, which is a departurefrom what we saw in Round one where
they were just getting so many openlooks against that Bucks defense. So I
think we get another really competitive serieslike we saw in Round one for the
Knicks. But I think I'm withyou, Adam. I think New York
closes this thing out. The reasonfor that is I think Indiana is facing
just a massive jump in terms ofdefensive scheming, in terms of defensive effort

(24:12):
from what they saw against that depletedBucks team in Round one. I'm sure
you guys saw the stat that wasgoing around. Indiana averaged in that six
game series against Milwaukee twenty nine wideopen three point attempts per game twenty nine
per NBA dot Com slash stats.They took twenty six total threes tonight,
right, I just think the shotquality for Indiana, it's going to be

(24:33):
a bit of a wake up callingit. I think they started to see
that in Game one tonight. We'vegot Nick Whalen here with us from Road
to Wire. We're gonna step asidewhen we come back. We will of
course talk Celtics Cavaliers, mixing somethunder Mavericks both of those games coming up
tomorrow night, and of course apeople's parlay for you for Tuesday. We've
got Nick Whalen here from Rhada Wire. Bruins up four to one on the

(24:53):
Panthers. Seven minutes have changed togo in regulation. So again these just
stay healthy, close thing out andmove on to Game two. Like to
do more than split in Florida.But if that is the worst case scenario
coming back to Boston, then theBees have themselves in good shape. The
Timberwolves really taking it to the Nuggetsright now. They're by thirteen a couple

(25:15):
of minutes into the second quarter.Maybe this is exactly what the Nuggets want.
They trailed at halftime of every gameseries in Round one against the Lakers.
Came nice profitable trend too. Iwas beta betting the Lakers at halftime
every game in that series, andit was coming out nice well, especially
if you did the you know,Lakers first half Nuggets full game. I

(25:36):
didn't get that far with it.Yeah, I didn't bet it, but
I looked at it in game fiveof that series because I was thinking about
doing it, and it did cashand it was plus four to eighty,
So, I mean, it wasjust a it was. It hit four
out of the five games, absolutelycrazy with the again Lakers leading at the
half, Nuggets come back to winjust the one time it didn't happen.

(25:56):
But let's talk about the Celtics andthe Cavaliers and any types of trends that
we want to find here in thisone. There's the expectation Nick that Christaps
forzingis certainly not going to play inGame one, but there's the expectation he's
not going to play the entire series. I don't think it matters. Celtics
are much much better than a Clevelandteam that needed seven games to beat Orlando.

(26:17):
They're just they're healthier, they're deeper. We don't know what Jared Allen
status is just yet. The regularseason, these teams matched up three times
Celtics won two. The other onethey absolutely gave away, didn't take it
seriously, led by twenty plus pointsin the fourth quarter and lost. That
game doesn't mean anything. It's abig spread eleven and a half points at
the garden tomorrow night. You're goingto have the whole question of rest versus

(26:40):
rust. How do you see Gameone and of course the series playing out.
Guys, I don't come on hereto be a Boston homer. It
pains me to say this, especiallysince you guys stole Drew Holliday from us
here in Milwaukee. But I thinkthe Celtics absolute role in this series,
Guys. I think the path that'sbeen set up for them to get to

(27:00):
the Eastern Conference Finals and honestly theNBA Finals. Right, I think the
talent gap between Boston and the otherthree remaining teams in the Eastern Conference is
about as big as you're going tosee at this point in the postseason.
Right. I think the two spectersthat were maybe hanging over this Boston team
going into the playoffs, where okay, you know, what if Philly gets
healthy, what if EMBIID you know, starts playing like MVP and b that

(27:22):
could be a little scary, man, because if the Bucks could get out
of Round one, they could getGiannis and Dame back at full strength.
You know, maybe that becomes aseries. Those are both off the table
now, and I don't know ifyou would rather play Orlando or Cleveland.
I don't know if it really mattersat this point. I don't think either
of those teams impressed me much.And what was ultimately a competitive and also
a very strange Round one series thatwas plagued by just a lot of poor

(27:44):
play on both sides. You pickyour cap to Pala Bank Carol for a
great series. You know. ObviouslyDonovan Mitchell kind of willed the Cavaliers to
that win in Game seven, ButI don't feel like either team came out
of that you feeling great about theway they played. And I think Boston
jumps all over the Cavs in Gameone. I would not surprised if Boston
sweeps the series. Of course,mentioned Christaps porzingis it matters, It definitely
matters. I think they'll they'll certainlyneed him back if they get to the

(28:07):
NBA Finals. Maybe they'll leed himback to the East Finals. We'll see.
I don't know. That it mattersin the series, particularly because we
don't know the status of Jared Allen. Right, I think if Jared Allen
this is game one or this isa couple of games to begin this series,
the Caves almost have no chance,right, I think that would be
their one advantages. All Right,we start too BigMan. We have the
side that you have to deal withif you're Boston and you take Porzingis away,
that becomes more difficult. But unlimitedor unavailable Jared Allen, I think

(28:30):
that advantage disappears. So I reallylike the Celtics to come out and really
clover the Cavaliers in Game one,and again would not be surprised if this
is a four game series. Ifit goes five games, there's probably some
weird anominally like Game two against Miamiwhere where the Caves just get crazy hot
and back Bruce goes like seven tonine from three. Any player props jumping
out at you for Game one,Nick, I mean, whether it's Derek

(28:51):
White for the Celtics who is justblowing by his over and every single game
in the Miami series that's up tosixteen and a half now for points,
or Max Drews like you were managed. Nine and a half is his points
prop. I was just looking athis career playoff game log against the Celtics.
He's reached double digits in seven offourteen career playoff games against the Celts.
Yeah, he's been a Celtics killer. Obviously, you think back to

(29:12):
that heat series last year. Iactually don't bund max screws. You know,
you can look at the over atnine and a half points. It's
a plus one hundred over at DraftKings. But you know, when it comes
to a game that I feel likehe's going to be a blowout, and
obviously the spread, but imply thatI don't tend to go too hard on
the player prop market because I thinkit becomes incredibly difficult to predict, if

(29:32):
anything. You know, if I'mreally confident that a game is going to
be a blowout, you know,I start looking at like Peyton Richard over
seven and a half points, becauseI think he could play, you know,
the entire fourth quarter in a spotlike this, you can get that
at plus one oh five. I'minterested to see, you know, how
they handle Donovan Mitchell. His pointsprop is up at twenty seven and a
half. I would lean under.I think the Celtics have so many guys
to throw at him. You know, Drew Holliday pretty good body to throw

(29:53):
at, Donovan Mitchell, Derek White. I think he makes a lot of
sense. They're not afraid to putJalen Brown at a guy like him.
Obviously Aon Tatum can handle that matchup. I think Boston is just so so
well equipped to defend this Cavaliers teamthat again, coming out a Round one,
it's Donn Mitchell and everybody else likethey where has Darius Garland Ben he
had his quarters, he's had hishalves where he starts to look like himself.

(30:15):
But I mean this is a guywho, you know, the last
couple of years you kind of thinkabout him as a borderline All Star,
you know, one of those guysand it's like, yeah, things break
right, maybe he could be likea thirteen ball in thea guy. I
mean, it just feels like thatversion of him is completely gone. I
don't know what's going on with DariusGarland. And if he's his points prop
is fifteen and a half for instance, that says a lot about the expectations
here. I think Boston jumps allover the Cavs in game one, so

(30:37):
I'm mostly staying away from the playerprop market. I'm comfortable taking the Celtics
up to eleven and a half.And I do have another Celtics player that
will get to when we roll outthe People's parlay, all right, I
like the t's right there. We'lldo that in a couple of minutes here.
So the other game, the lategames, the Mavericks and the Thunder.
After a really easy first round serieswin by Oka See, you could

(31:00):
say Dallas you know, wasn't tooheavily challenged either by the Clippers, but
it was a quick sweep there.For the Thunder, They've been off for
quite a while. I'm just lookingat this one and I feel like Nick,
I'm I'm looking for a reason whythe Thunder can't cover three and a
half. These teams matched up fourtimes in the regular season, ok see,

(31:21):
one by six, one by seven, one by a billion, a
one thirty five eighty six game.Dallas took the other one convincingly, so
minus three, and I just thinkthat, I mean, yeah, like,
no disrespect to to Luca and theway that Kyrie Irving is playing.
I just love this Thunder team andminus three and a half feels kind of
too good to be true. Buthow do you see it? I still

(31:44):
see it as a thunder team thathas a lot to prove, right,
and a thunder team that also doesnot have a ton of depth. And
you know, unlike some of theseother teams that were talking about, at
least there are guys who matter areall playing well, right. I mean,
SGA continues to be super consistent,Jalen Williams is playing well. I
thought Josh Giddy even had a prettyseries against the Pelicans in Round one.
But their rotation drops off a quickeclip very quickly, and I think I'm

(32:07):
curious to see, you know,how aggressive are Luca Docti ch and Kyrie
irving and trying to get at ChetHolmgren Because this team essentially does not really
have a backup center. It wassomething that they probably should have addressed,
and I'm surprised that they did notat the trade deadline. I know they
have the other Jaalen Williams who they'recomfortable thrown out there, but I didn't
think New Orleans did a very goodjob, even though they played notice bail
In Judas more minutes in Round oneI'm really challenging chet Holmgren and you know,

(32:30):
trying to get under the skin ofa guy who has no playoff experience
coming into this season, and youknow, really, at no point in
that series was he ever in foultrouble. I think that should be a
point of emphasis for Dallas. Atthe same time, I don't know if
they're going to do it. Thisis ultimately a jump shooting team. This
is a team that I can talkabout the Oklahoma City Thunder being shallow.
Dallas is a two man team rightnow. And now you take back to

(32:52):
Cleeve out of the equation, youknow, a guy who they really trusted
these situations, somebody you could knockdown quarter threes, you can defend,
you could rebound. The mass desperatelyneed a third guy to step up,
because there will be games in thisseries where they have the two best players
on the court in Luca and andKyrie, but not being able to identify
a third option I think is partof the reason that that went six games
and part of the reason that theylost the first two without Kawhi Leonard in

(33:14):
the lineup for the Clippers. SoI don't know if it's Tim Hardaway coming
back from injury. I don't knowif it's more PJ. Washington, you
know, maybe they do go alittle bit bigger, played Daniel Gafford,
played Derek Live me more minutes,you know, try to force the Thunder
out of their normal rotation. ButI have more questions about this Dallas team
than I thought I would because acouple of weeks ago, I was looking
at the way that the matchups brokedown, and I do like Dallas in
the series. Guys, they thinkthey have the experience. You know,

(33:35):
Lucas been to a conference finals beforeKyrie's played in the NBA finals. Of
course, I think the MAVs couldtake advantage of the inexperience here for OKC,
but certainly would not surprise me.You know, if the Thunder come
out strong in Game one, Ithink they they kind of got their jitters
out of the way in that firstgame against New Orleans, where you know,
they were on the ropes s late, found a way to pull it
out and then obviously dominated the restof that series. But at the same
time, guys, Brandon Inger didnot look like himself. CJ. McCollum

(33:59):
has been dad for a month.They did not have Zion Williamston like that
was a depleted New Orleans team,And I think even though Dallas maybe is
not playing all that well right nowoutside of its top two, this is
still a pretty big jump up incompetition going from that Pelican's team to this
natsime. All right, it's getto the People's parlay. As the Bruins
celebrate another goal, empty and verybodyJake Debrusce, So congrats Dan on your

(34:20):
bankroll repair. I would see thatone is locked in at this point.
Everyone, or at least the peoplewho were there clearing out of Florida.
We're gonna give you bankroll repairs forTuesday coming up in just a few But
People's parlay the way this works.Nick's been part of it multiple times.
He'll offer his favorite flavorite for tomorrow. Dan will do the same, so
will I. We always tell youplay the Straits with parlay and as well,
Dan or We're tight on time here, so Nick, start us off.

(34:44):
Guys. I'm taking the Boston Celticsminus three and a half first quarter
line for Game one against the Cavaliersminus one twenty two at Banduel. Boston
started strong for the most part inthat first round series against Miami, they
were plus thirty two point four netrating the first quarter. They were twenty
seven points per one hundred in thefirst quarter, better than the Cavaliers were
in their Round one series against OrlandoCeltics plus forty one. Just in terms

(35:08):
of the points advantage in the firstquarter against Miami, I don't think Jared
Allen is going to be one hundredpercent if he's out there tomorrow. Caves
continue to be played by slow starts, including in Game seven at home against
the Magic. I think this isa spot where Boston jumps all over them.
This could be a double digit leadafter one quarter. All right,
Dan, all right, I'll makea short and sweet head into hockey.
We're gonna take the Colorado Avalanche onthe money line tomorrow night in Game one

(35:30):
against the Stars, ABS plus oneall five across the board. Okay,
So I was thinking about giving youthe Celtics minus eleven and a half.
And it's a play that I reallylike. It's a play that I will
be playing. I'm not going toinclude in the people's parlay, in part
because it's difficult to find places thatwe could play that with Knicks play and
I want people to have more options. So I'm gonna go right back to

(35:52):
a play that I just said Ireally like, which is okay C minus
three and a half, like themto get it done the thunder in Game
one at home against Dallas, Andso looks like when you put the OKC
minus three and a half the ColoradoAvalanche plus money on the money line,
and of course Knicks play minus threeand a half for the Celtics in the
opening quarter. The best we've gotis plus six thirty one on MGM.

(36:15):
Thank you, Brian. But ifyou want DK plus six point fifty three,
if you do Celtics minus four inthe opening quarter, I think we
can avoid the push here for officialshow tracking and stick with the six thirty
one, still a robust number,but one to give people the option in
case you think the Celtics really comeup with their hair on fire in that

(36:37):
first quarter. Nick, thank youso much, man. Let's make some
money tomorrow. Absolutely, guys,anytime. Appreciate you having me. All
right, Nick Whalen again from Roadto Wire, Get him on Twitter at
whalon That is wha the number onee N. We'll be back with bank
row repairs. It's time for yourbank roll repair Howard Mike's collision. We

(37:01):
gave out one bankroll repair earlier todaythat was exclusive to our action app page.
Make sure you download the action appand follow us at the Gambler with
ak. That is the handle wehave been and we could talk a little
bit about this later if we havetime, but we have been green.
That means profitable, making money forus and for you three straight days,

(37:22):
four out of the last five.Let us continue that trend, hopefully,
So without further Ado bank roll repairsfor Tuesday, and thank you to Bobby
Cobb and everybody over at today's collision. We appreciate you being part of the
show. Damn, what do youhave for us for tomorrow? All right?
Three legs, three different sports,guys, this is what we're doing.
We're going Celtics money line. That'sthat should be the lay up there

(37:43):
at minus six hundred. We're gonnatake the Tampa Bay Rays on the money
line as well. They're playing theWhite Sox, who are just pitiful right
now, and then we're gonna goover four and a half. It's an
alternate total. In that Dallas Coloradogame tomorrow night in the NHL. You
put those three legs together plus oneh two on DK was the best I
found, all right, So you'regiving us something that is slightly plus money.

(38:04):
I like it. It is thewhole point of the segment. Every
once in a while, though,we feel the need to go for it.
I am going to go for it. I am giving you a two
legger here. It is the CarolinaHurricanes, who I expect to bounce back
after a narrow loss in New Yorkto the Rangers. That is game two
of their second round set tomorrow.The Carolina Hurricanes just on the money line,

(38:27):
not getting greedy with that obviously.And the other the Baltimore Orioles,
who have been absolutely rolling lately.They are taking on the Washington Nationals.
And what I have, what I'mseeing. I asked Brian to double check
me on this, but what Iam seeing is plus one seventy one for
this two leger. It's two brstwo brs pretty much. You can get

(38:51):
it on MGM at DraftKings as well. Again, Orioles and Hurricanes on the
money lines. Those are your bankroll repairs for Tuesday, Hey, Bruins,
when they take game one, we'llbe back. That was your bankroll
repair powered by today's Collision with locationsinvolved in Chelsea, Stoneham and Danvers.
Check them out at today's Collision dotCom. The Gambler starts now Here's Adam

(39:16):
Kaufmann, Hour number two of TheGambler with Adam Kaffin here on WRKO and
I am stunned, positively stunned bywhat is happening in Denver right now.
The Timberwolves outscored the Nuggets thirty threepoint fifteen in quarter number two to bring
their advantage to sixty one thirty fiveat the half. I know we were

(39:39):
talking about, Yeah, there's thattrend, you know. Do we take
the Nuggets trail and a half comeback win the game? I think we
can all but officially mark tonight's people'sparlay is a loss. Sorry, Brian,
I don't think this is gonna happenfor you. I mean I will
say. I will say that ifthere is a team that is capable of
doing it, coming back to winthis game and cover, it would beat

(40:02):
the Denver Nuggets because we have seenvery little offensively out in Nikola Jokic.
She's flirting with a triple double.He has eight points, seven assists,
six rebounds, but just the hopefullyhe does. Yeah, I mean Jamal
Murray is of course, as weknow, he's dealing with the calf injuries,
banged up, but he is playingand is having a horrid, horrid

(40:22):
night. One for nine from thefield, only two points in that opening
half. You're getting nothing so farout of the bench, almost literally nothing.
It's just Justin Holliday has six pointsand that is it. You've got
fifteen points from Aaron Gordon, that'sit. You know, very little from
Michael Porter junior. And it's justa two man show. All due respect

(40:45):
to the bench who is chipping inon the Minnesota side, but really it's
a two man show. It's KarlAnthony Towns twenty points with Rudy Gobert out
of the lineup, and sixteen inthe opening half for Anthony Edwards. So
again a twenty six point lead forMinnesota, threatening to take both games in
Denver and go up two to zeroin this series. I said coming in,
and there were a lot of peopleon it. I was far from

(41:07):
the only one. There was areal possibility Minnesota could win this series.
I still in my I didn't betit. My heart of hearts I still
probably would have leaned toward Denver,but the fact that it is unfolding this
way, I'm shocked, and so, you know, will have some more
time, obviously to talk about it. Be it later or tomorrow, we
can react a little bit. Rightnow, I would like to give the

(41:29):
Bruins, the plus one forty dogBruins the proper respect that they deserve and
bring in a good friend of theprogram who was sitting here at appearance number
eighteen, Jeff Ulrick Moose from theFantasy Grind. You can get him or
a Fantasy Life. I should sayhe's also from the Fantasy Grind, it's

(41:51):
just that's a Twitter account. That'swhere you can find him. He is,
of course from Matthew Berry's Fantasy Life, contributes to draftings as well,
and he knows all things goe hockeyand more. But we love talking pucks
with him and we couldn't time thisbetter. The Bruins wrapped up there win
only about five ten minutes ago.Jeff, how are you, Bud?
I mean I'm doing good. Imean my dad's aren't doing good tonight because

(42:13):
I you know, I've joined itin with the misery, I guess with
someone the Nuggets. I took thePanthers. So that's his biggest shock as
as a basketball game right now.But imagine, you know, reveling in
my nineteenth appearance and doing pretty well. Hey, don't jump ahead. This
is eighteen. We'll get to nineteen. This is eighteen. Okay, yeah,
this seat, we'll get to nineteen. Don't worry, it's coming,

(42:35):
don't you know. It's I wanttoo much of a good thing. Wait
wait, wait, So so seventeenappearances for Jeff in year one, Adams,
that means he's got it. Wegot to have him at thirty five
by this time next year. Yeah, I suppose we did. Yeah,
yeah, this is this is yourfirst appearance of year two. So you've
you've got some work to do.Well. We'll have to get you out
a lot during NFL season and andgolf over the summer and all of that

(42:59):
good stuff. But look, yousaid you bet the Panthers tonight. I
actually didn't have a bet on thisgame in terms of the side. I
just wanted to see how this oneplayed out, sit back, watch it
as a fan, all that goodstuff. But you you know, in
comparing it to the basketball game,I wouldn't say it's as big a shock
as what Minnesota is doing to Denverright now. But to be you know,
to be handled in Florida the waythe Panthers were again a five one

(43:22):
Bruins win, and other than theempty net are by Jake Debrusk, it
was a lot of secondary guys thatwere getting the job done. What stood
out to you about this game andwhat you ultimately expect from this series?
Yeah, no, I mean whatI expect from the series is that Florida
is kind of a better team fiveon five and they carry playmore. But

(43:42):
you know, to be honest,I didn't really transpire now. I mean,
as someone who's seen a lot ofplayoff hockey, I'm not overly shocked
at this result either. You know, my lean towards Florida was slight,
but you know, I figured itwas game one. The Bruins didn't have
a ton of rats. If there'sever gonna be like a big Panthers bloat,
and maybe it, but you know, the opposite effect often happens in
game one where a team has alot of rats, the team coming off

(44:06):
the big high just kid just carriesover for a game that's exactly what happened
tonight. Now. I mean,you know, I think that the Game
two, like like that basketball series, is going to be a big limbus
test for the Panthers. Is thisa team that just got outplayed and is
going to get out played for theseries or was that just a Game one
anomaly because they didn't get out playedin the first series. So is Boston
not good? I mean I wouldtend to leave no, and we'll see

(44:28):
a big rebound in Game two.But certainly the Bruins have something going for
them now. They're getting better secondaryscoring, like you said, and it
was all any advantage and that's shonethrough And that was the one thing about
this series that I think as aFlorida Panthers fan you need to be wary
of with Jeremy Swayman versus Lebrowski.But I'd sell the opinion the Panthers bunts
back in Game two. I'm stillthe opinion they probably win the series.

(44:49):
But yeah, a little bit ofa shocker for Panthers has to night for
sure. So, Jeff, oneof the big talking points here in Boston
has been do you keep Jeremy swimin a net? You go back to
their rotation. What do you whatdo you do here? I'm curious your
thoughts is an outsider. I mean, I'm sitting here as as a Bruins
fan and someone that watches this teamevery night saying there is no way in
hell you can take Jeremy Swayman outof that net. At this point,

(45:13):
I literally don't even know why itwas the topic. I mean I've seen
I've seen like multiple people talk aboutit, Lott, a couple of radio
shows, a couple of hockey shows. Why and like, why why is
Jeremy Swayman even in danger of beingtaken out? Like he hasn't even that
a bad game? I mean,it's no, It's ridiculous. Fuck.
I get the idea that like youwant to keep all mark trash and maybe
like the rotation is a new fador something. But the playoffs, man,

(45:36):
like you got a guy potentially thebest playoff the goalie in the playoffs
right now, I would be Imean, if you have had a bad
game, I would not go back, go back, go back to the
line of all mark. I mean, lead us all Mark. I would
certainly get sway in a chance torebound. He's deserved it. He's quite
frankly been the better goalie. Idon't know why people keep bringing this up.
I GINU it's just because Almark wasso good to them last year,

(45:58):
and I get that, But no, Swayman is the man right now.
I mean, you've got to keepbrodding him. I think he's Boston up
player. Yeah, guys, andI'm looking at two of the cons mythods
right now. Guess who is secondbehind Connor McDavid. Jeremy Swyman is up
to plus twelve hundred right now towin the con smythe Yeah, thanks so
so for Game two coming up onWednesday, Jeff, the Bruins are similar

(46:20):
dogs. I'm looking at a rightaround a plus one thirty five and we'll
see. You know what it isacross the board, obviously, but they're
uh. The expectations going into thisone, for at least the odds makers
are what they were going into Gameone. Florida is going to take this
game. Do you feel more Areyou more a believer in that or more
passionate about that? Just in thewake of what happened in Game one,

(46:44):
you expect Florida to bounce back andeven this thing up, forcing it back
to Boston obviously with a a bestof five at that point in time,
or do you think the Bruins canyou know, maybe pull a Timberwolves here
and steal two on the road.Yeah, I mean it's you know,
the odds haven't moved, which Imean is like from maths standpoint, if
you like Florida in game one,like I guess, there's really no reason

(47:07):
to go off them in game two. I guess like the only counter to
that would be, you know,I didn't really think that there was like
that big an edge in the oddsor anything for Florida. I thought that
they should have been maybe slightly biggerfavorites. But you know, now that
Boston has sort of like shown that, you know, maybe they're they're gonna
be able to carry play a littlebit, you kind of wonder, is
there really any edge in Florida?Should just be betting the Bruins again as

(47:30):
dogs. I would say that's probablyfrom a mathematical standpoint what you should be
doing. I may take a differentapproach and just look towards the futures and
look towards just taking the Panthers inthe series there down to minus one,
oh five now, which are actuallythey're actually the underdogs in the series,
which is kind of interesting to me. So that may be a better way

(47:50):
to do it. But you know, for game two, I'm still on
the fence. I mean, likeI said, I think Florida wins this
series, but you know, withwith no movement in the odds, and
it may just be a spall whereI just lay off or look for some
player props or something to hit up, because you're really not getting any bargain
or anything on toward it for agame two bounce back. It's just like
you said, we're basically getting theexact same scenario we got in game one.

(48:13):
So we got two games tomorrow night. I want to talk about the
late game, the West Coast game, but real quick, before we get
to those games, just I justwant to build off of what Jeff was
talking about with the player props.Would the way to do that with what
you're talking about, Like poster Knock'splayer prop coming into tonight was three and
a half shots. He had four, so it hit Swayman. Whatever his
save prop was, I don't evenknow if he clear yeah, cleared it

(48:34):
obviously he had thirty eight. Ifyou think that that game is going to
be somewhat similar, meaning poster Knockis going to have to be aggressive.
Do you like the over on hisshots? And similarly, if Florida is
going to be kind of desperate andjust firing everything on net, do you
go over on Swayman saves. Yeah, that's actually a good angle, because
it's an angle that I'm going tobe looking at the whole series that the

(48:57):
Panthers are great a getting they're shotsthrough and the Bruins actually allow them to
shots on goal. Of all theplayoff teams you know that are surviving so
far, I think Ford is goingto continue to shoot Boston. So I'd
be looking towards the Florida side.Quite frankly, I think they'll probably tighten
up a little bit defensively then evenlimit Pasternock a little bit. I would
definitely be looking at guys like forHagy again potentially to Chocobo to Chucks numbers

(49:17):
getting really short on this shot somegoal. I think for Hague you will
probably be a good target potentially aguy like that Evan Evan Rodriguez. Yeah,
Ryan Hurts absolutely had a really goodlike just daily night. I haven't
Rob Rigaez another one. I wouldbe looking for that. Potentially some alternate
lines as well those guys. Sothat's a good angle. It's actually an
angle head sort of circle for thisfor this series. And definitely, like

(49:38):
I said, if I don't endup betting the Panthers, I will probably
definitely be looking towards their shots ongoal props potentially another over Persuayman and says
as well, I just I thinkFord is going to be getting thirty shots
most night, uh through for sure. Yeah, I like those plays a
lot, so, Jeff. Wegot this Colorado Dallas games game one.
Kind of a similar situation here,uh as does Florida boss in series,

(50:00):
where you got one team that iscoming off almost a week of rest and
the other one who is coming offa seven game you know, war So
Dallas just one game seven against Vegas. They're at home here, Colorado.
I made my official show play fortomorrow night. I really like the way
the Abs are playing. I knowthey got six nights off here leading to
this one could be a little rusty, but we saw Dallas drop the first

(50:22):
two games at home in the lastseries. I think Colorado can can pick
them off here Tomorrow night. Butwhat do you make of this matchup?
Yeah, I mean I would definitelylean towards Colorado for a side. Like
if I was picking, I maynot bet Aside just because I burned with
the game one today and I mayjust not feel like just taking it two

(50:43):
things in a row. But Imean, I think the one thing that
I look for in this series,I think there's gonna be goals again.
Colorado led the league in over percentageand hitting overs during the regular season.
Saw like that series versus the Jetsright from the get go, I mean
seven to six in Game one.I think the overs hit in four or
five games, but it was justit was a goalfest for Colorado and they

(51:05):
are really top to shut down.But on the other side, you know
you're playing a potent offense with Dallasas well. It's good at generating shots,
good at generating chances. These twoteams too, if you look at
them during the regular season seven four, five to one, five to four,
six three, I mean, itwas it was an absolute overfest,
excluding that one five to one game, which I probably I don't have the
stats up. We'll probably just pushwith the over sitting at six. Yeah,

(51:30):
it's a little bit just up.I'm just looking at it on DraftKings
right now, and this will probablymove to six and a half. I
would grab it at six, evenat the minus one twenty two on DraftKings.
Personally, I like that bet fortomorrow. I think it could be
a little bit loose. Like yousaid, if Colorado does jump on them,
it's just gonna force the Stars playa little bit more wide open.
So I'm looking at the over forgame one. All right, Moise,

(51:52):
We're gonna step aside and we comeback. We can keep talking about that
game if we want to. Obviously, we'll mix in the Hurricanes and Rangers
game two tomorrow night, and wewant to do a second people's parlay.
We did one in the opening hourwith Nick Whalan, but damn it,
there are other plays that Dan andI like and we want to make them
show official, which means from you, we're gonna get your favorite play for
tomorrow. Whatever it is, doesn'thave to be NHL. But you know,

(52:15):
whatever is really jumping out at you, I'm throwing this on you last
minute. So maybe there's something you'vealready bet that you love, or you
can scramble a little bit and researchsomething during the break, but we're gonna
do that on the other side aswell. Jeff Ulrick is here from Fantasy
Life. We'll be right back.Most is here, Jeff Ulrich from Fantasy
Life. We're talking through the NHLand of course Bruin's reaction five to one

(52:39):
win over the Panthers to take gameone in their second round set. We've
already been talking through the Avalanche andStars a bit. I really did think
the Golden Knights were gonna win thatseries, and I thought it was gonna
be a long one. My preseries prediction was Vegas in seven, just
wound up being Dallas in seven.Not really sure how this one's gonna play
out, but I do know,as we talked about earlier, Dan really

(53:00):
likes himself Colorado in game one againplus money. It's an official show play.
You can get what plus one zerofive I think is what we got
at. So you know, somewherein that vicinity anyway, Book to book
the other game, Jeff. Thatis happening tomorrow. It's the early game
the Hurricanes and the Rangers. Thisis game two of their set. New
York took Game one four to three. It was a close one. It

(53:22):
wasn't quite as tight as the finalscore indicates, but Carolina was kind of
pesky, wouldn't go away. Ithink very highly of this Hurricanes team.
I realized the Rangers are the higherseed, and you know, the Hurricanes,
though on the road, are thefavorites. I even took them as
a show pick as part of aput them in as part of a builder,

(53:42):
which is kind of asinine. Irealized because at minus one twenty they're
practically doing it themselves. Paired themup with the Baltimore Orioles for anyone that
missed it. And that's a plusone seventy play that we put out for
a bank roll repair, which isDan joked, is like two bank roll
repairs Hurricanes and Rangers. You thinkwe get an even one one set after
game two? Yeah? I do. I like the play as well.

(54:06):
I you know, I again,we're talking about teams like bounce back potentially
in game two. I feel betterabout taking the Hurricanes. You know,
then I do necessarily, like Imean not that I think that the pants
are gonna lose necessarily, but thatI would about the Panthers, especially if
the prices we're getting right, youknow, minus one eighteen. I'm just
looking on sad Duel a little bitbetter price there than on DraftKings. But
you know, regardless, I mean, I like this. I mean the

(54:29):
road the road teams really haven't beenat a disadvantage for most of the playoffs.
I mean, I think that you'rejust getting better prices on quality teams.
The Hurricanes were favored to begin thisseries. You know, they got
jumped a little bit at MGM.I mean in the garden in New York.
It's not that big a deal atthe start. I think Frederick Anderson
probably settled down a little bit.I think the Hurricanes play a little tighter.

(54:49):
Like you said, they made alittle close at the end of Petski
are hard to get rid of.And I think that they probably pull out
Game two. And I think thisseries is going to be extremely close.
I don't think that they're necessarily ahuge advantage either way, but give me
the Hurricanes in game two. Absolutely. I think that this is a fair
enough price. And I'm kind ofwith you on that. So this game
isn't until Wednesday night, Jeff,but we got to talk about the oilers.

(55:12):
If you're on with us, andthis line here is just it's jumping
out to me because Edmonton went zeroto four against Vancouver this season. None
of those games really all that close. Yeah, Vancouver is home underdogs in
game one year, what's going on? Yeah? No, I mean,
look, this is a divisional series, right, I mean, Edmonton Vancouver,
they play each other a lot.Honestly, it's kind of funny how

(55:35):
little these teams have met in theplayoffs. And tour was so bad during
the Oilers like hey days back inthe day. And you know, when
when the Canucks have made the playoffs, Oiler has been terrible. So the
two don't have a long playoff history. But you know, just in terms
of style, what the Canucks do. They are strong down the middle,
they have some guys who can kindof skate with McDavid. It showed up
during the regular season. I expectthis to be a bit of a longer

(55:58):
series. I took the over fiveand have games for the series. I
like that as a series bet.And you know, for game one,
like again, I mean it's I'mprobably showing my bias. I really do
think you should just take the Oilersin Game one. If any team is
going to jump out here and kindof dominate from the get go. It's
going to be Edmonton. Yes,I mean, we're getting a good price

(56:19):
on the Canucks. But it's justit's really hard for me to look past
the third string goalie issues. It'sMcDavid, it's Leon dry Sidle, It's
the Edmonton Oilers. And yes,everyone knows that the Oilers are going to
four against the Canucks. And youknow who also knows it, Cornor mcgavid
knows it. And I think theseguys are going to be ready game one.
And my suspicion is the Oilers jumpout and really just try and make

(56:42):
their bar quickly because they know.I mean, just the Canucks are so
expecting a longer series. But Iwill probably be in the Oilers camp for
Game one and we'll go from there. Jeff, is there been anything just
especially while we're talking about your Oilers. They are the favorites to win the
Stanley Cup despite being you know,narrow favorites here in Game one in Vancouver.

(57:02):
Is there anything that you've seen throughoutround one or early stages around two
here that impact your view of thebetting market, Because even the Oilers to
win the Cup, you're still talkingabout a bet that's better than four to
one. They are not an overwhelmingfavorite. Yeah, no, absolutely.
I mean I would say, youknow, like the team that I probably

(57:22):
I don't want to say did athree, like a one to eighty on
or anything. But the team thatkind of convinced me the most during Round
one was the Avalanche. You know, the Avalanche were so up and down
during the regular season, had somereally bad losses. But I really thought
the Jets were going to give hima go. I really thought the Jets
might take that series in six orseven games, and they just they just
demolish them. And you know,if they're going to get goaltending from Georgia,

(57:45):
I mean that is going to bea team that is going to be
really hard to get out. Ihope and pray we get an Oiler's coloraud
of Avalanche Conference final. We alldeserve to see that kind of hockey.
That would be to be the pinnacleof the playoffs if we get that.
But the Avalanche really to me stickout the most at plus six fifty,
and I dare say I would takethem over the Oilers of that price,

(58:06):
you know, put my Homer buyersaside. I really do like what the
Avalanche put out in round one.Certainly don't mind the Hurricanes as well plus
six hundred. They're obviously down agame now though, but if you're looking
at the prices now, I mean, and just you know what impacted me
in round one. Definitely a littlebit of more respect for the Canucks,
but you know, taking out Nashville, so not sure what to make of
them. But the Avalanche wol reallykind of a team. Looks suck out

(58:29):
to me. Yeah, I lovethat play, Jeff. I played them
myself over the weekend. I alsoscooped up Colorado just to win the West
at plus two forty. Right,all right, moose, let's get to
a people's parlay here, second ofthe night on a Monday, which is
really like three because we gave youone exclusive to the action app earlier.
We've never given out three parlays inone day, Fellas. This is this

(58:51):
is historic here in year two.So let's get to it again. The
way this works, favorite plays,Jeff give you his for tomorrow. Dan
gives you another one of his.I will give you another mode of vine.
We will play all the straights,and we will of course play the
parlay and hopefully this is a verylucrative Tuesday. But Moose, what do
you have? Oh man? Imean, there's so many ways I want

(59:14):
to go with this Colorado Dallas game. A lot of them involve props.
The one I'm just going to gowith the one that has really been for
working for me and that I stillthink there's just good value on it.
It's going to be Devin tapes overzero point flat points. This guy's just
a really solid underrated player. Hejust goes under the radar. Whenever Colorado

(59:34):
plays, they're in their top defensiveplaying. It's plus one thirty on draftings
for him to go over zero pointfive points. He had a point every
single game against the Stars. Ibelieve he had five points in Round one.
I think it's just a really goodnumber you're getting on tapes. And
like I said, I expect thisto be higher scoring in game one and
that's obviously good for his props.So Devin taps plus one thirty on DK

(59:57):
over zero point five points. Thisparlay is going to be stupid because I
already know what Dan is doing.Go ahead, I am, but there's
some correlation here, Adham. SoI think it's going to bring the total
number down here, right, ButI'm gonna go Colorado over three and a
half team total tomorrow night. It'splus one fifty for the straight here.
I just I love the Avalanchees offenseright now. They have scored five or

(01:00:20):
more goals in every single game sofar in the playoffs, and they have
scored four or more in every singlegame against Dallas this season. That's four
games there. I think Colorado comesout fire and tomorrow night wouldn't surprise me
if they get up to five againtomorrow here. But let's go Abs over
three and a half plus one fifty. So my play and Brian's, you
know, crunching all the numbers andeverything like that, I'll be curious how

(01:00:45):
many places we can actually place thisbet with with you know, the the
same game parlay that you guys areoffering. But my leg is I was
talking about it earlier. I likethe Celtics to cover tomorrow minus eleven and
a half. I think the seasonand Whalen obviously supports it. He's he's
looking for a Game one blowout.It just didn't it didn't correlate real well.

(01:01:06):
Weren't too many options to put thatin the original parlay. With him
going Celtics minus three and a halfin the opening quarter, So I will
go full game here in this one, and that is Celtics minus eleven and
a half. So it looks likeBrian is telling us plus six twenty one
on DraftKings. So you're right,Dan with the correlation brings it down obviously
compared to what I thought it wouldbe with a couple of plus money opportunities

(01:01:27):
in there. But Brian any wouldjust for I realized DraftKings is mainstream.
But if anyone doesn't have DK hassome other books. Are there other places
that people can play this one?You can play Colorado over three and a
half goals on BEDMGM at plus onethirty five, but you cannot parlay that
with days, So is there anywhereelse? Look, I'm checking Fandle right

(01:01:49):
now and deals you play two anda half. I'm same with Caesars and
ESPN. Oh so you'd have tobring it down yeah, so yeah,
yeah, the totals two and ahalf. I don't think you could change
it to three and a half.FanDuel doesn't even offer tays to have just
one point here, hang on,or actually it's probably going to be in
the Uh yeah, Fandel doesn't evenoffer tays to have one just one point.
Well, I mean my other propfor Colorado was just going to be

(01:02:14):
McKinnon anytime goalscorer at plus fele fiveon Sanduel. So if you are on
FanDuel and you like those first twoplays, I think there's a good value
on McKinnon at plus one o fivefor an anytime goal. It's a lot
bigger than it is on draftings.So I don't know if you're if you're
interested in follow along. McKinnon anytimegoalprop at plus one o five is to
me a good price for sure.Well, we will will go with your

(01:02:36):
original play as far as show trackingin the parlay over it at DraftKings.
Obviously for plus six point twenty oneit's a good one, But you got
an alternative there if you use otherbooks and you want to sprinkle in something
different with the anytime goal there forthe morning, it wouldn't surprise It wouldn't
surprise me if by by morning thatColorado's three and a half across the board,

(01:02:57):
because it's heavily juiced at two anda half everywhere, it's like minus
minimum minus one sixty five, right, no, I agree with you,
and I may wait till morning toplace it, But there you go.
That's another people's parlay for you forTuesday, Moose. We enjoyed it.
Next time I promise will be appearancenumber nineteen and look forward to having you
back on my friend alight Man.Thanks, I guys appreciate it all right.

(01:03:20):
Jeff Ulrick the Fantasy Grind on Twitter. He is for Matthew Berry's Fantasy
Life Draftings contributor as well. Wewill step aside some baseball talk with Mark
Zeno when we come on back.Wow. Thanks to Jeff Vulrick. A
lot of good insights there in theNHL. I feel like just sort of
projecting ahead when it comes to givingout show parlays tomorrow, Dan, I

(01:03:43):
might use one of those props wediscussed in that Bruins Panthers game. I
might go over on Jeremy Swayman savesfor instance. Yeah, No, I
like that a lot. I mean, well, the only thing though,
is the way these Bruins games havebeen going, with them playing coy about
who's gonna be a net? Itmight not be available true because I don't
think it popped up today. Itdidn't pop up until this afternoon today.

(01:04:04):
That's the way it's just been allplayoffs un till he was like the first
starter or first the ice in themorning skate, that kind of deal all
these games, Jim Montgomery and everybodywho cares, like it's like it's going
to impact the I mean, Iguess it would if all of a sudden
they decided to play Linis Allmark.Sure, I mean you're reviewing different tape.

(01:04:25):
It impacts, you're scouting all ofthat stuff. But I mean,
what prevents you I guess teams justdon't do this, But what prevents you
from just screwing around anyway? Likeit's not like it's an injury report where
you're gonna get penalized or something.It's like they could still have Linis Elmark
be the first goalie off the ice, and they wanted and start. Swaymen
doesn't even go to morning skate,right or uh you know Swaymen. Well,

(01:04:51):
again, it's just hockey customs,like you'd have to ship well no,
but not even that, like you'dhave to really mess around and like
the morning skate that's all well andgood, you know, throughout the day,
but then when everyone comes up forwarm ups a half hour beforehand.
It's always your starting goalie that leadsyou out onto the ice so you can
have all mark to it and thenstill start swaming. That's that's when you're

(01:05:15):
going next level with your gamesmanship.Definitely not gonna happen. You could have
like the phantom injury at the endof the game, like what happened with
Wall in Toronto right then all ofa sudden right before was weird. That
was insane, I believe didn't youcall that a total meaningless goal at the
end of the game the other Idid ye completely meaningless As it turned out,
it knocked out. But you knowwhat in retrospect, you know now

(01:05:39):
that we can look back on theseries as a whole, you know,
it's it's not like Sam sonof isthe reason they lost Game seven. No,
he played. It was brilliant.No, he was much better than
I thought he would would be.I thought he was going to be a
puddle right So No, I didtoo. I mean he was bad before
he got hurt, and then hegot hurt and then he's rusty. So
uh, the and the whole swamin allmark conversation, it is interesting,

(01:06:00):
like you said, it's a populartopic locally because people are kind of feeding
it down our throats. And Ijust at a certain point in time,
you're gonna play the game the wayit's supposed to be played this time of
year, which is if you havea hot goalie, ride him, and
Jeremy Swayman is hot, and soyou're gonna keep throwing him out there,
and if he does struggle in agame, then maybe you consider making a

(01:06:21):
change while acknowledging you are going tohave a rusty or cold Lena Selmark coming
in. But you're not gonna doit now, not when you're an underdog
on the road in Florida. You'regonna throw out Swayman again. Hope he
gets you another game to win.No, I completely agree. You can't
take him out of the net rightnow. The bulldog's been let off the

(01:06:41):
off the leaseh do not chain himback up. It's just it's a it's
a ridiculous conversation. We're hoping tohave Mark Zeno from Sports Great on talk
a little baseball, but if wecan't reach him before the show is out,
then obviously we won't. We'll getsome baseball in from an analyst with
you tomorrow to worry, but youknow we don't have that much time left
in the show as things stand rightnow. Anyways, not a big deal.

(01:07:04):
Do you want to tell you thatall of the plays that we have
given out, and there are alot that we have given out, have
been loaded into the Action app again? Download the app. Our handle if
you want to follow us there,and we hope you do. Is the
Gambler with ak We are heading down. It's going to be a profitable night
for us regardless, even if Denvercompletely continues to fold like a tent.

(01:07:27):
And and look, Denver, mineis six and a half. Sorry,
Brian, It's not gonna happen.He knows this. Denver in the late
in the third quarter is down bytwenty nine points. Right now, it's
still within twenty was it or isit seventeen and a half. When I
looked at it, it was itwas like twenty and a half a little
while ago. But yeah, that'sthat's crazy to me thinking that Denver is

(01:07:48):
because this one the book so muchthis postseason already, I guess, I
mean the Nuggets we can't be that. And it sucks too because I've played
the fan duel boost with the Jokicgetting twenty five plus points, he's in
fifteen or so. But they're notgonna chase this. They're they're gonna pull
these guys. They're gonna wave thewhite flag. I mean, why would

(01:08:09):
they not get He's so close,it'd be great. There's no chance that
they win this game. But anyway, independent of the people's parlay losing and
Brian straight leg, we're going tohave a fifth straight day, is it?
Or let me see double check fourthstraight day. From fourth straight day
where we are profitable, we willgo up point nine. So basically one

(01:08:32):
full unit, which is great.Happy to do that anytime. You know,
green's green, and not that Brian'sfeeling bad, but he shouldn't because
you know, we have all takenour turn being the jerk at some point
in time, and hopefully tomorrow thoughthere are no jerks because we have posted,
as I was starting to say beforeten bets, we are risking as

(01:08:55):
it appears, we are risking tenpoint three five units. So the action
app tells us to win twenty twopoint one units, which is just a
wild number. It's gonna be ait's gonna be a busy day We've done
this before, not often, butwe have done this before, sometimes with
mixed success, sometimes with show historicsuccess. So maybe we can have ourselves

(01:09:20):
an insane day. But again,multiple people's parlays. I will just read
you the parlays and you know thatall of the straits come from these.
And then obviously you can log onand check out the bank roll repairs.
You can go back and listen onthe podcast, and do check out our
podcast The Gambler with Adam Kaufman whereveryou get your podcasts rate review most importantly

(01:09:40):
subscribed. We greatly appreciate it.The one of the people's parlays, the
one that involved Nick Whalen his pickminus three and a half first quarter points
for the Celtics to cover. Okay, see minus three and a half my
leg, Dan's leg Colorado Avalanche plusone oh five, Dan being especially bold
with his plays for tomorrow, andthat was plus six thirty one on bet

(01:10:03):
MGM. The other plus six twentyone on DraftKings, Dan going again plus
money plus one fifty Colorado Avalanche overthree and a half goals in that game
for the Apps, So he's allabout the abs tomorrow. We do not
want to see the Abs lose liketwo to one, that would definitely not
that would be very upsetting for USCeltics. Celtics minus eleven and a half,

(01:10:26):
that's my leg and Jeff Ulrick whowas just here, tabes over half
a point, so at least onepoint and that's plus money straight play as
well, but six twenty one plussix twenty one on DraftKings for those three
as mentioned. So that's what weare looking at four plays for tomorrow.
But since we did not have timeto mix in any baseball tonight really so

(01:10:48):
I'll just tell you you probably knowthis already. Berwins were the only local
thing going on. The Red Soxwere not in action, but they are
in Atlanta tomorrow. It is aseven to twenty star. We get one
of these days with all these someof these staggered starts, the Red Sox
at the Braves Cutter Crawford will beon the mound. He has been electric,

(01:11:08):
you know, one and a halfera just low on the inside.
Same story, by the way,a total of nine in this game and
even a little afternoon base Baltimore withthe Rangers and Athletics at three point thirty.
Everything else starts after six. Whatis your lean on this one?
I know it's not a show play, but Red Sox and Braves. How
are you feeling about it? Forthe Socks? Yeah, I would definitely

(01:11:30):
consider like a first five with Crawfordon the mound. I don't know about
the full game right with with uhagainst Atlanta and Atlanta the Red I mean
the Red Sox. You know,the Bats finally came alive yesterday. They
went nine to two, but theywere relatively silent against Minnesota over the weekend.
I know they got a monster bullpenthere. Atlanta is just so good
that I would look first five.I'm gonna play the Red Sox if anything.

(01:11:51):
I mean maybe like a Tyler O'Neillprop because he's just been awesome.
But yeah, no, no stronglean there. One thing I'm going to
be curious about tomorrow is going tobe it's Immanaga day for the Cubs.
So once his k prop pops upanywhere, I will definitely be looking at
that. But I don't see itanywhere yet. He's been awesome. And
then what do you think six anda half is going to go up?

(01:12:12):
Probably he's got seven and back toback starts. But the Padres don't strike
out a ton. I'm looking atthat right now. They're bottom ten of
the league in strikeouts. Are onlystriking out uh, you know, right
around seven times a game right now, seven point four to six in twenty
twenty four, So that's if it'sprobably gonna around like a five and a
half, six and a half.Yeah, somewhere in there. You know
what I'm excited about Tuesday or Wednesday, pardon me Wednesday, because that is

(01:12:35):
Red Sox against Chris Sale. That'llbe fun. Sales four and one with
a three and a half era.He's got Nick Pivetta on the other side.
Who is sub He's back, Yeah, Pavetta's back sub one era this
year. Is it wrong? Iguess it's wrong. It's probably a character
flaw of mine. It's not Salesfault that you know. He's stunk here

(01:12:56):
at the end and was just stealingmoney. He got hurt and it was
an injury after injury, like reallygood guy, fierce competitor. I wish
he could have continued on here andbeen successful. Oh same, he was
my father player on the team.Yeah, but now he's in Atlanta and
and successful, and it kind ofbothers me and a national league thing kind
of irritates me a little bit.Yeah, I'm not rooting for an injury

(01:13:18):
or anything like that. I hopehe wins twenty games and as an ERA
of three and all that stuff Ido, But just the initial returns of
him having immediate success kind of annoying. Yeah. Sure, I mean for
now too. You know, it'sa long season. We've seen him start
off really nice, you know,and we've seen him fall off a bike,
and yes we have. And Alexcore pointed that out today and told

(01:13:38):
anybody that says that to have off. So he used the real world,
real real word as well. Soit was a good little little scrum there
for Korra today. But yeah,I mean, I mean, if Sale
was here, he'd probably be pitchingGray too. All the Reds, the
Red Sox starters are unbelievable. Theyare what they do. They have an
e RA under two I believe Ido. It's like one point four or

(01:13:58):
something like that. Best ar theRRA in baseball, that's team era in
baseball. It was like they weregoing through a stretch where it was like
the best like through one month inmajor league history too. I think or
something like that. It was.It was absolutely insane what they've been doing.
If the bats can just be moreconsistent and the socks are going to
hang around and they sound much moreoptimistic there too than they have in years
past, So I I and youknow, actually having somewhat of a serviceable

(01:14:23):
first basement platoon there between Cooper andDom Smith is so much better than Bobby
Dolbeck. Yeah, definitely makes abig difference. Connor Wong has been unbelievable,
Duran starting to hit a little bit. Von Grisslum's back. He finally
got his first hit yesterday, Sothings are starting to around into place.
Endeavors too. I think we'll startto heat up here as well as he
gets more at bats. So thingsthings are looking, you know, relatively

(01:14:46):
positive for the Red Sox, whichI didn't think we'd be saying here in
the first full week of May.This team is above five hundred folks.
Well, as you said, AlexCorer was using a fancy four letter word,
there were a lot of those thrownaround on Netflix last night. Anybody
check out the Tom Brady roast.We could talk about that for a couple
of minutes when we come back putthis show to bed. Now, it's
time to put this show to bedwith my pillow. All right, let's

(01:15:15):
wrap things up here. So whileother local Boston sports talk shows probably and
listen, but I'm guessing spent likehours on the Tom Brady Roast, it
would have been fun to do here. But that's it's not what we do.
There are pros and cons to beingkind of gambling exclusive, and you
know, one of the pros isnot like talking about the nitty gritty crap

(01:15:40):
that isn't interesting. And one ofthe cons is, you know, you
don't spent a whole lot of timetalking about the Tom Brady Roast and playing
a whole bunch of clips and allthat stuff. But we will give a
couple of minutes to it before wewrap up here. And we've all seen
it, Dan, Bryan and Ialbeit independently. It was electric. It's
you know, they built it thegreatest roast of all time, and it
I don't know if it lived upto those expectations. I haven't watched all

(01:16:04):
the other roasts in a while,but at three plus hours of NonStop comedy,
guest stars and just nothing other thanyou know, only you can only
joke about Robert Kraft and the massageparlor once. Other than that, nothing
off limits at all. Kevin Hartwas perfect, Drew Bledsoe was amazing,
Bill Belichick was amazing, Julian Edelmanwas amazing. Gronk was just undged.

(01:16:29):
It was. It was so muchfun, it was, and it was
oddly therapeutic. I don't know ifyou guys found it that way, but
it's just like that was the kindof like ball busting that you only get
in the locker room of guys thatare actually they actually do care about each
other. Yeah, like that youdo with your buddies that you that you're
really really close with, that youcan pick on and know that they're not
going to freak out and throw atemper tantrum. But no, it was.
I found it oddly therapeutic, andit was. It was better than

(01:16:51):
The Dynasty. God, I cantell you that much. I still haven't
even finished that, but uh,if you want to bring it back to
gambling quick, adam, I'll setthe over at point five. For funny
jokes that Will Ferrell made in hisRon Burgundy skit. I know, and
I love Will Ferrell, and itwas just he was off. This Affleck
is Ben Affleck. Okay, youlook right. He was just angry.

(01:17:15):
It was, Yeah, that was. He should have come out with Matt
Damon then it could have been funny. That would suits. Yeah, Chreischer
and Sigura were terrible, disappointing,terrible, like they're supposed to actually be
good. They weren't very good.But Nicky Glazer was awesome. A lot
of the Sam Jay was awesome.It was it was. It was really
good, really well done, andI'm very happy with it. I I
thought it was gonna I thought itwas gonna stink. So yeah, no,

(01:17:38):
I didn't think it was gonna stink, but I didn't think it was
gonna be that good. I Iwondered if like Giselle was gonna be off
limits, and boy would not.So that was. That was a lot
of fun, all right, forDan, for Brian, for our guests.
Tons of fun, makes some money, loads of bets. See you
