I was smart enough to get the Knicks to win the East at + 475 to win the playoffs.
T Wolves @ Spurs
Spurs are favored by 9.5 I think Wemby Has the defensive game of his life and leads them to a blowout win with some help From Vessel and Castle and Fox. T WOLVES have one way to defend Wemby and that is too Foul consistently and often. Which I don’t think the refs will allow for the rest of the series. And that will throw off their game.
Cleveland at Detroit
pivotal game 5 coming up in Detroit Cleveland+7.5 or more seems like an easy bet.
I believe in this pick because of an injury to one of the best players on South Carolina and UCLA has been a dominant team all year long and have the size to give SC problems. Also Plus value.

Sports media Watch Please read as they have done the hard work of researching this and deserve the credit of writing this article and Giving context.
A lot has been made lately of the NBA TV ratings. without context to how many people no longer have cable to watch said “Games”
CABLE Tv Subscribers Decline since 2020
The NBA Signed a 76 Billion with B TV deal this past summer for 11 years with ESPN/ABC , NBC/Peacock and Amazon. Which avgs 7.6 billion a year. This is the second Most lucrative TV deal in North America Sports history. The Number of viewers is still higher than 1.6 million a game, but With mainly a cable TV pay audience comparing them to the NFL is Not the same as they are on broadcast tv, Which is free to watch on America.
With 32 million less people even able to watch The NBA has maintained the same level Of viewers while keeping Cable TV necessary as a pillar of programming along other live sports like the CFP, ESPN Early coverage of Wimbledon.
So do they have a problem yes and it is their customers willingness to pay for cable who pays them for their product
As they move to Amazon Streaming and Peacock exclusive games. We see how 1.6 mill translates to increased Subs for those platforms.
But make no mistake about it The NBA is fine and their only concern currently is the negative coverage of their league as a whole from the media who push the NFL as they need them to drive ratings. Notice Alot it comes from Fox who has no NBA game rights, Also Ja Morant is back and healthy and needs to get more national games.
And as always ” If it doesn’t make $$, it don’t make sense.”

A special pick at the end of the pod for those who stick around.
Cavs Will keep it close playing for the Series. Mobley can take advantage inside and Garland has the greenlight without Mitchell and LeVert Will go hard. The Cs will relax and cruise.
The Stars are just flat out better and being at home helps Alot I expect them to get to the Stanley Cup Final.
The Sky are missing Cardoso, but have Reese and she is a great defender and will help inside and Chicago is picked to finished last in the east But I believe they will surprise Teams early. Early weeks of WNBA take advantage of Big spreads.
