Chapter 3: Can the Spurs recover from their Game 4 collapse?
I know you have some follow-ups here, so go ahead.
Are you at all worried about a Knicks hangover? Like, you know, you're saying they're going to come in feeling themselves, feeling like they can do anything. But do you think that that might work against them or be able to?
I don't think they're built that way, bro. I don't think... Brunson has been so... Yeah. Styled. Stoic. OG is... i mean og's quote of like everybody's excited was so funny but that's who he is um josh hart is angry like josh hart's not celebrating the so no i'm not worried about that and then the question is how will wimby respond and my answer to that is i think he will have bouts of greatness
And maybe, maybe he'll have one more. It would have to be in game five. Awesome, awesome game. And they can force game six. Wimby does not have three straight great games in him. He doesn't have the juice.
No chance if they win this game on Saturday.
Here's the thing. I think people can trick themselves in this regard. It's like, all right, can the Spurs win Saturday? Well, yes, obviously. Sure, they can. In fact, they are the favorites to win Saturday. Like, Vegas thinks they're going to win Saturday. Okay. Well, then can they win at MSG? Well, yeah, of course they can.

Chapter 4: What are the Knicks' strengths heading into Game 5?
They just won Game 3, and they were up 29 in Game 4. And then, well... They would be favorites in Game 7. Looking at them individually, it does not seem that hard. And I know some people say you can't look at it this way, but I am looking at it this way. I do not care about it individually at all. Here's what I care about. Do I think the New York Knicks, who have lost one game in seven weeks...
and just came back from down 29 points for the greatest comeback in the history of the finals, are about to have a three-game losing streak. Abso-fucking-lutely not. So I think the Knicks will win game five. I am wholly and entirely confident the Knicks are going to win this series. I am less confident with my World Cup predictions. We will get to those in just a moment.

Chapter 5: How are the Spurs performing in the Finals series?
They're going to beat Australia. And they're going to draw against Turkey A and win the group and get seven points. And then we'll see who we draw. All right, let's go to the first follow-up here. America's plus 750 to reach the quarterfinals. Do you like that value? I don't. Because... And here's why. I just wouldn't... I think it is...
I don't want to make that bet on a team that is as interesting, but not top world class until I see who they would be playing in route there. Like it just feels like a very blind bet, not knowing who they would have to play in the round of 32 in the round of 16.
You honestly, depending on who they're playing, if they're playing one of the top teams in the world, might be able to get better odds by simply waiting until the end of the group stage and then parlaying, you know, them to win the round of 32 and then them to win the round of 16. Go to this elimination, this stage of elimination odds, Demondsey.
Yeah, so the stage elimination odds for us is group stage plus 350. Round of 32 is plus 185. Sweet 16 plus 240. Quarterfinals plus 475. Semifinals plus 1,200. Runner-up plus 3,000. Winner plus 6,000. I think the most likely result of this tournament for Team USA is an all-too-familiar place of losing in the round of 16.
Getting out of the group, winning one knockout round game in the expanded World Cup. Again, prior to this year to Monza, when you get out of the group, you're in the round of 16. But this year they expanded it. I think that's the most likely result. Again, I am not... I'm not... Betting that ahead of time. But I'm simply saying, yeah, but that's the most likely result.
I also am, I think the, maybe once the tournament gets rolling, if I'm really dialed again, I did predict the Mexico score. Exactly. The, the, the soccer, same game parlays, all same game parlays are tough. Soccer ones are particularly tough because there's just so few events. Like there's just, you know, it's like shots on goal, total shots, corner kicks, those things.
So I don't for, here's what I, I am curious. What is the hard rock bet odds of the, one one nothing us over paraguay i do i think that is the most likely result i think a one nil united states win um and i assume i could get pretty good plus money on that i don't know if you guys can plus 550 Oh, I like that a lot then. I thought that was going to be around plus 400. Yeah, I like 1-0 U.S.
over Paraguay. Now, here's the other thing. It absolutely could be... Instead of 1-0, it could be 3-2. That sounds like a total cop-out. My point is this. If the U.S. scores early, or either team scores early, then the other team can all of a sudden... you know, be like, all right, we're going to have to take more chances. We're going to sometimes an early goal leads to a higher scoring game.
And sometimes oddly an early goal leads to a lower scoring game because the team that scores then just like locks it up. They play back and they're, you know, very conservative, but sometimes an early goal makes a team. If they're the team that didn't score it, if they were going to play conservative, they then open it up. But I think 1-0 U.S. is where I land on it. All right.

Chapter 6: What role will Jalen Brunson play in Game 5?
So I am... Once the bracket is set, once the group stage is over, then I'm fine with all of that. But I'm not making... It would be like asking someone to pick...
four final four teams before we see what regions the teams are in yeah and it's like okay i've got these two teams both in the final four oh shit they're both in the east region well i guess i lose so the i'm just not gonna do it uh risky business but yeah so but here's what i will say to the audience quickly um watch these games it is such great theater This isn't me shilling for Fox.
