Are they blowing teams out?

That kind of thing.

But when it gets to be rock, paper, scissors, and you know that one team is better than the other.

I mean, the Cavaliers, it's like, oh, yeah, big win against Denver.

But it's like.

okay, but what about the Cavs and the Rockets?

That makes you a little bit more uncomfortable because here's the thing.

The Cavs and Rockets, we're not going to see them play each other again, and the Rockets had double-digit wins against the Cavs both times, so that makes you uncomfortable.

It's like, oh, the Cavs just beat the Nuggets, but

if the Cavs didn't beat the Rockets and we're not going to get an opportunity to see that match begin, do you feel good putting them over?

And ultimately I said, yes, because the Cavs are a different team now than when they were playing the Rockets.

They have James Harden now.

And so now you're just taking the guesswork out of it a little bit and you're just saying, all right, I'm going to trust the Cavs.

And then you got to be like, okay, so how do you feel about the Rockets and the Nuggets?

The bottom line is,

I didn't like the Nuggets week.

They lost a close game to the Clippers.

That was a coin flip.

It was a little bit less of a coin flip how they lost in Golden State.

And the theme to both of those losses is the fact that their defense does not make me feel good.
