Welcome in to another episode of profit pics 2:06 We do always start this show by being transparent and yesterday. I must have made a mistake or I don't know 2:12 I did something wrong or something because 2:15 Posted my bearish 2:18 Winner and I realized I didn't get sent out to anybody so it won't count 2:23 I 2:25 I know I posted on Twitter, you know, I posted my ticket and said I'm 23 and nine. So I was gonna stay at 22 and nine 2:31 That one will not count. I 2:34 Gotta, you know, do a little bit better. I guess making sure I send these out 2:40 And then I lost on the Cavaliers. I had plus two and a half 2:45 29 points 2:46 Can't cover two and a half points. So 2:50 Unfortunate, you know, hopefully you had a better day than I did 2:55 Yeah, that that sounds like a I don't know a gallon of tequila and pineapple right there um 3:03 We were good in football yesterday ski three, you know through the college in the nfl 3:10 And then the nba was dead wrong and it's what I left here is a best bet denver played it 3:16 While we were on air denver team total over 113 and f never had a shot 3:20 whole game never had a shot defensive minded battle. Oklahoma City's height 3:27 again very very effective with three big guys so the NBA not there but at three 3:32 in one day and like I say the football just continues to be rock solid so we'll 3:37 see we've got a big enough card here to grab ourselves a couple of ticket 3:41 cashers here this afternoon and tonight. Let's talk about it I've made a few 3:45 plays already. I'm not, I'm not waiting and making sure I see these plays up today. All right, we got 3:55 a lot of games. We'll start with one that was moved. It's going to be played in about two hours, 4:01 I believe. Chicago and Milwaukee opened up minus one for the books, still sitting around one or 4:07 One and a half total open two thirty eight and a half and I see it as high as 4:13 It's high as 4:15 240 and a half 4:17 Let's refresh the injury report because we know how much it changes 4:21 Nobody on there for the bucks 4:24 Claxton is the only one out for the bulls 4:28 I mean 4:29 This one I don't have too much to say other than 4:33 I see the bucks one way 4:35 They're on the score, they're not going to stop anybody from scoring. 4:39 So I can understand why the market is pushing this total up. 4:42 Do you agree, Vino? 4:45 I do. I think we went through Milwaukee the other day. 4:48 It's a team that we're going to look to bed over quite a bit this season. 4:51 For Chicago, a little bit of a step down in class because their offensive 4:56 performance wasn't good the other night, but it was against Toronto. 4:59 And Toronto features like three, four guys in that starting lineup that can play defense 5:03 where Milwaukee doesn't have three or four guys in their 15 man rotation that could play defense. So 5:10 should be a big offensive day here for the Bulls. I know Milwaukee fans are hopeful that the Bucks 5:15 can get themselves a win so then they can go to the Brewers game and see if they can get two wins 5:19 out of it. That's why this game was moved but the Bucks just aren't really that kind of dependable 5:27 team. So I would think this is a good bounce back spot for the Bulls. If I was looking 5:30 side I'd look that direction but as far as the game itself goes again Milwaukee over is going to be 5:38 heard a lot on this show during this season unless they make the prices just such that we can't get 5:44 there with it. All right quick and easy on that one we have nicks and Celtics next up open minus two 5:50 two and a half is what we see right now total came down a little bit from two twenty four and 5:54 to 221. Nobody on the injured for for the Knicks. Carter out for the Celtics. Both teams are pretty 6:03 pathetic performances. Knicks just just terrible. Celtics, it looked all right for some of the game 6:14 and then, you know, that second half, not so much. Maybe because of how bad each team lost, 6:22 We get it really kind of traded effort more defensive effort. Is that why the total is coming down here, Vino? I 6:30 Mean I could understand maybe an under here. What do you think? 6:33 Yeah, I kind of like the next side in this game ski 6:38 Again a lot of those 6:41 And it's not really you got no numbers to back it up 6:43 But I know a lot of those banner hanging ring ceremony games 6:46 just the emotion is run out before the game even starts. 6:51 And Philly came with a purpose, 6:52 Philly played pretty good defense 6:53 and that game came from behind and won it. 6:56 But I would expect better offensively 6:57 out of the next Jalen Brunson led team. 6:59 For the Celtics, for those who did get involved 7:03 with the season, NBA season over-under wins package, 7:08 Boston under 51 and a half was one of the plays 7:11 that was part of that package. 7:13 And I think we see why opening day. 7:15 Do I expect Paul George to go crazy and score 38 again? 7:19 Probably not, but do I expect Jason Tatum to be as bad? 7:23 Probably not. 7:23 If those two offset each other and they fall in the same area, 7:26 they scored 51 combined. 7:28 The first game, you know, if the roles get reversed 7:30 and they score 51 combined again, 7:32 it leaves the rest of the lineup 7:33 to do the rest of the work. 7:35 And I just don't know that they can against this team ski. 7:39 I like the Knicks overall. 7:41 That's some bad nights. 7:42 OG had a bad night, three up 12 from the field. 7:44 Bridges had a bad night, but I expect those to balance off here. And like I say the Jalen Brunson post game interview 7:52 Not that he smiles a lot 7:55 But he was pretty serious after that loss 7:58 So if I'm gonna bank on one guy here, even though it's on the road and the Knicks generally are better in 8:05 MSG, but I think that trend sort of came to an end in the playoffs last year when they started playing really good on the road 8:11 I like the Knicks in this spot. They're getting two and a half. I think they can win out, right? 8:20 Don't have a strong a pain on the side. Good stuff. No, you know 8:25 We'll keep it going down the list the next one we will see looks like 8:30 Hawks and hornets 8:34 Opened up three and a half seeing a lot of two and a half's out there total open 225 and a half I'm seeing 8:42 227 and a half is what we'll call that one with the injury report 8:51 Still missing Grant, Colby, Khan and Boswell for Charlotte, Atlanta still healthy, but here's 8:59 my thing with Charlotte. We looked at them in that first game and you said, you know, they're missing 9:05 Khan, they're missing Colby White. What are they going to be able to really do? They went out there 9:11 and won the game by almost 20 points. I think it was either 20 or 10. I forget which one it was. 9:15 So it was either 110 to 103 or 120, 103, 9:19 whatever the score was. 9:20 I know they held the Nets to 103. 9:25 So I was just thinking about this game, 9:28 like how did the Hornets win that game? 9:30 They saw the defense. 9:32 They still have some, you know, I don't know. 9:36 And I liked this matchup. 9:39 Diabate, Nasri against Akangwu, Jalen Johnson, 9:42 and I think that's solid Miller versus Dyson Daniels, 9:47 Scion James and Schroeder. 9:49 I think that can defend the perimeter well versus what Atlanta has. 9:52 And I just think that Charlotte coming off playing well 9:57 and their home opener, they don't think they're a bad team yet. 10:03 They know they're going to get their guys back too. 10:06 They'll have the energy there tonight. 10:08 I think the Hornets can get a win tonight. 10:10 What do you think, Vino? 10:11 If you like the Hornets side, you might even be able to add a little situational to its ski. 10:16 The fact that Atlanta played really hard against Orlando and now faces Charlotte. 10:21 You've got Orlando Atlanta, Southeast Division type thing is going to become, 10:26 it started two last year when Atlanta came from behind and won the division. 10:31 And you ask yourself, if Frans scores 22, Paolo scores 35 and Wendell Carter Jr. gets 22. 10:38 How did Atlanta win that game? 10:40 Atlanta won that game because this is a really good team. 10:44 Alexander Walker had a big day 31, Dyson, Daniels, Jalen Johnson. 10:48 You mentioned them, Jalen Johnson, the best all-around player on that team. 10:52 They're probably better than Charlotte. 10:53 You might even attribute some of Charlotte's wind to the fact that, listen, 10:58 we made fun of it the other day, but it did come true. 11:02 Michael Porter Jr., Julius Randall, took 39 of 80 shots. 11:06 That's just the shade under 50% of the team shots go to those two guys the other nine who took the floor 11:11 I don't see the ball much. They scored 59 of the 103 points 11:16 That's where it's almost 60% of the points between two guys. So the nets 11:21 Don't become a very difficult team to defend you watch those two guys. You don't worry about the rest 11:26 So maybe show its victory is a shade skewed. Maybe they need their offensive guys in this one. Um, I 11:33 I didn't play it ski because I didn't see a clear cut edge. 11:37 I thought maybe the motivational piece of this would be 11:42 a little less focus off of the Orlando game. 11:45 And I know how the NBA is. 11:47 You go on the road with a little less focus 11:49 and you don't come out with a win. 11:50 But I do think they're the better team 11:51 by more than this price. 11:53 So when I can flick like that with reasoning 11:56 I just stay away. 11:57 So I didn't play. 12:02 Yeah, they're the better team. Everybody's bedding them line is just not moving. 12:13 I've seen this one before. 12:19 Yeah, I think my record so far is one and no with that, right? I think on the show this season. 12:23 We're going to keep that as a staff this year. 12:29 We'll see how this one shakes out. 12:32 Discover a spectacular island destination with crystal blue seas, endless sunshine, and the 12:38 cool Bahamian breeze, Bahamar, located in Nassau Bahamas, offers your choice of three 12:43 luxury hotels, over 45 fine dining and nightlife venues, Jombatiste's all new jazz club, 12:48 the Caribbean's most luxurious casino and one-of-a-kind experiences for the entire family, 12:54 like our 15-acre tropical water park, wildlife sanctuary, world-class golf course, and so much more. 13:00 Visit Bahamar.com today.

That was pretty bad. The Pacers, they were able to get out, get away with the 15:22 win. It played the Pelicans. Yeah, I was on the Pelicans. Pelicans were winning most of that 15:30 game until the four quarter, four quarter Pacers, you know, looked like a team that, you know, 15:36 team that had a lot of playoff success. They know how to close the game. Pelicans, 15:41 is not so much. I think they're better than Dallas. It's supposed to be their home opener, right? 15:49 First game back for Halley. Oh, I like the roster. I would want Neismith in, at least, 15:58 especially without McConnell. But for those reasons, I would look towards Indiana, 16:04 either Indiana or over. I mean, Dallas offense did look so bad versus Houston though. 16:11 I don't know. I don't know. What do you think here Bino? Yeah, I think you could shave that down to just playing Indiana team total if you're looking for any sort of over Indiana's 123 and a half in this game. 16:26 Did score 123 the other night against the Pelicans and like you say the Mabs gave up 128. The Mabs offense just looks like it has no continuity whatsoever. 16:34 So ever I think that's kind of repetitive to what you just said, but I saw the same thing 16:39 Kyrie's just getting back into the groove 16:42 Cooper flag is like the main guy. I think I said earlier this week that 16:47 They have a lot of size once lively gets back 16:50 They really have a lot of size, but they just don't have a lot of offensive threats at this point in times 16:55 They're gonna have to 16:57 The scheme of the offense is gonna be important here and Kyrie is gonna have to start once he gets into the flow a little more 17:03 He's gonna have to start putting up 20 plus every game because it's gonna be needed 17:07 Where when you look at Indiana ski and like you say New Orleans push them to the brink 17:13 Probably a good sign for the pelicans that they could push a playoff type team to the brink like that 17:19 I think they even covered they were getting three and a half in that game 17:22 but in the end 17:24 Unlike Kyrie Tyrese Halliburton comes right back with 12 assists 17:29 Nemhard had nine assists. 17:30 This is just a team that moves the ball so well. 17:32 So many scores, five guys in double digits that game. 17:36 I think if I had to play, 17:37 I prefer the Indiana team total, 17:39 like I mentioned off the top to get to 124. 17:42 They're just a team that goes at that rapid pace. 17:45 They're not really gonna stop scoring. 17:47 And we saw the other night, 17:48 Dallas didn't have a way to stop Houston 17:51 from getting to 128. 17:53 So, you know, again, 17:54 if I had to play, 17:55 it would be Pacers team total over 123 and a half. 17:59 All right, I can get with that. 18:01 Two Wolves in, Magic opened up minus one and a half 18:06 for the Wolves, lip of favorites. 18:09 We have Orlando now minus one and a half. 18:13 Total open 239, and it's come down. 18:17 I'm seeing 234 right now. 18:21 Even Chenjo still not playing for Minnesota. 18:24 What do we know when he's coming back? Let me see. I think I've read I thought I've read November 18:32 But I'll have to check into that 18:34 Yeah 18:37 I don't see it right here, but yeah, I'll look it up later 18:42 Black Isaac Nelson and the out for the magic 18:46 Magic lost to the Hawks right in our first game 18:54 Minnesota 18:56 They looked like I mean everybody expected them to be fun and I mean they look fun. They look good. I know I'm not I wasn't that high on the Miami Heat. So I don't know if it's so much of like, you know, he just weren't that good. But the Timberwolves definitely did look good. 19:13 This game. This is one that's killing me too. Like, I know everybody after what they saw has been the Timberwolves. I want to bet the Timberwolves too. 19:24 in the line flips to Orlando. 19:28 They think Orlando matches up so well with this team or, I mean, I don't know. 19:35 What are your thoughts on this game, Vino? 19:37 Well, I'm going to stick with my original thought on Minnesota. 19:41 They're a little bit small, but man, they can score. 19:46 And I just rattled off the numbers that Orlando was able to produce 19:50 so offensively the other night against Atlanta, yet they still find a way to give up even more 19:54 points than they could score. So I'm kind of scratching my head here, Ski, to understand why 19:59 anybody would want under in this game. The T-wolves are going to go quick. They're going to score 20:08 quick. They're not the best defensive team simply because of size. That showed up the other 20:14 night. I would think that the Orlando front line could have a big advantage here. 20:19 I pointed out the other day, I just don't know how long Rudy Gobert can play in these up and down style games, played the other night but I mean as the season goes on I think that becomes more of an issue than it is right now. 20:32 I look at Minnesota's team total here and I see 117.5 and ask myself how are they going to hold them under 117.5 when they couldn't do it with Atlanta. 20:39 Now, you could say Atlanta maybe has more scoring options. 20:44 Atlanta, like I said, had five guys in double figures, 20:48 but man, I don't know. 20:50 Edwards and Ball create for other guys on the floor. 20:54 I didn't bet this one either, Ski, 20:56 but I just think that where Minnesota is concerned 20:58 this year, much like I said about Milwaukee, 21:00 but for some different reasons. 21:02 I'm looking to play overs with this team, 21:04 some way, some capacity, some form. 21:07 In this one, it just looks to me like their team total is too low at 117 and a half 21:16 That being said, I guess somebody could counter me and say Rob 21:19 If you think their team totals going over, why wouldn't you like full game over and I don't think I could argue 21:24 Anybody off of that if they wanted to play it 21:26 I really don't understand the four and a half point five point move downward in this game 21:32 Next game Raptors and Wizards 21:35 It opened four and shot up to eight and a half. 21:39 Total went up a couple of points from 236 to 237 and a half. 21:44 We'll call that one. 21:46 Ooh, what is the injury report? 21:49 I mean, the Bonne sister not ready. 21:51 Walk-in Spooksovich out of Para questionable. 21:56 I mean, everybody just loves the Raptors here? 22:01 I don't know. 22:02 Raptors did look good in that first game. 22:06 going on the road here laying quite a bit of points. 22:09 Is this Washington's home opener? 22:11 I don't remember if they played at home in the first game. 22:14 Yeah, I thought they were home the other night. 22:17 Yeah, they did. 22:17 They did play at home in the last game. 22:21 You know, just, I don't, 22:24 the thought of them being at home, 22:27 given Trey Young and Anthony Davis 22:29 almost double digits, it's just, 22:31 it seems too much to me. 22:34 Am I wrong, Vino? 22:37 And then that other side Toronto, they won by 45. They didn't just win 22:41 They beat that team by 45 points and some of the numbers here ski off of that box really quick and I know 22:48 You know 22:50 Some of these guys aren't the offensive player that trey young is then Anthony davis is but josh giddy 1 for 10 22:56 norman powell 3 for 9 22:59 Lozellus 2 for 8 and there's defenders on that toronto side and now when you add kawai 23:05 It's just that game was a blowout from the outset and I just wonder if Washington has the ability 23:12 To match Toronto on both ends of the floor 23:15 I just find Toronto to be a well-rounded team offensively defensively pace. No pace, you know half court offense fast break offense, etc 23:24 Washington had a nice win the other night, but I just don't know that they're in Toronto's category right now. However 23:31 You know when the price jumps like this 23:34 I guess we can use this for the first time this year ass end of the line 23:38 Who the heck wants the ass end of the line at this point lay eight and a half or nine with Toronto the people who got there early I 23:47 Agree with but at this point in time 23:50 You know, that's a pretty steep price to pay that this game has more than doubled in asking price 23:56 That that's hard to get with but I do think Toronto's gonna be a force in that East this year. We'll see how it goes 24:07 Pistons and heat. This one opened up minus two for Miami and flipped to Detroit minus one and a half. 24:15 Total came down from 237, seeing it as low as 234 and a half. Nobody on the injury report for either team. 24:23 You know, this is one where I can understand both the side and the total move. I mean, 24:28 I don't know what the heat we're doing favored in the first place. The heat did not look good. 24:31 it. I mean.

And if that's going to be the case again, 28:18 I don't think you want to play fast against Detroit and Detroit showed us a bunch the other night 28:23 Let's face it Boston threw everything at them for three quarters 28:27 Or maybe two plus ten minutes because the end of the third quarter they started to make a little run 28:32 And it was you know a lot of the bench that helped out here, but I shouldn't call Duncan Robinson bench 28:39 But Givante Green was nailing threes 28:42 Detroit's just way deeper with quality players 28:46 And I think back to first of all, I don't I don't see s dot in the comments here right now 28:51 Telling Miami in this game. Maybe he he will be but I just think back to um 28:57 You know what I said to you about our colleague Joe Ranieri who said this 29:01 Experiments gonna last about one game and that's gonna be the end of it 29:04 I don't know Yannis could you know, maybe get involved a little more. Maybe they become a little more fluid 29:10 but Detroit already is 29:13 cohesive and 29:14 And that win the other day can only pick up their confidence. 29:17 So I can understand the line move here. 29:19 More than anything else, I would lay one and a half 29:21 with Detroit. 29:23 All right, we're in agreement on this game. 29:28 Next, Rockets and Spurs opened minus seven for San Antonio, 29:33 down to five, total open to 27, down as low as 224 and a half. 29:39 As far as injuries are concerned, 29:41 for Houston. Fox, Keldon Johnson, both questionable, Tobias still not playing, Stephen Adams and 29:49 Reed Shepard are questionable for Houston. Um both of these teams do play tomorrow. Uh 29:56 and this game for tonight will be played at the Moody Center. Um that is the Longhorn 30:04 arena right so SMU's is SMU in Dallas okay I think Moody is okay yeah you'd 30:15 know better than me but um yeah this game you know I like what I saw from 30:28 the Rockets a lot I like the additions of you know seeing them final with a 30:34 obviously, I like Bogdanovich there. 30:38 I like what I saw from this rocker's team. 30:41 More shooting, more ball handling, 30:43 everything they were missing from last year. 30:45 They look really good. 30:47 They were playing at tempo. 30:49 They were making a big point to play with pace. 30:52 Definitely noticed that. 30:54 And I like what I saw from them. 30:57 For the Spurs, I know they played OKC. 31:01 Now they had a target on their back. 31:02 like they didn't look so great to start that game. 31:07 And they're doing that three guard lineup, right? 31:09 That I said that I wasn't in love with. 31:14 The second half though, 31:16 they started to play a little bit faster. 31:18 They started to have some more success. 31:19 I think they scored like 120 in the second half. 31:23 I don't know 120, but a 60 in the second half. 31:30 I think that they're gonna make it, 31:34 both teams will probably make it a point to play fast in this game. And so I know the market is 31:39 pushing it down probably because of the injury concerns. Maybe it's for another reason. But 31:45 I think the pace should be there. I disagree with the market pushing this one down. And I think 31:53 that the Rockets are playing better right now. And I like that. Like I'm already saying I don't 31:59 like the three guard lineup for the Spurs. The Spurs are still for some reason trying to figure 32:05 stuff out after just getting to the NBA finals and, you know, as crazy as that does sound. 32:10 I would take the Rockets or the Ulver, you know. What do you think here? 32:16 Yeah, I think we noted the other night that it's important to have Fred Van Vleet back 32:20 to actually run a show in Houston that makes them better. San Antonio is going to walk around 32:26 with the target on their back every night in the Western Conference. That's for sure. 32:30 They're going to have to answer the bell here. Wemby didn't the other night, 32:34 one for 13. I will say this. Austin. Oh, it is Austin. Okay, because Katie Moody. Okay, 32:43 because Moody Coliseum actually is the name of SMUs as well. So let me go ahead and say that 32:53 what I noticed about seeing Antonio is and it's not rocket science, but when they took Wemby off 33:00 the court. OKC went on runs. Like his defense is necessary for that team. They're just not 33:06 the same without him in the lineup. Luke Corden, that's a nice replacement, but OKC scored when he 33:13 was out. San Antonio did make a run, but as soon as they made the run, OKC answered. 33:21 So I hate to play against a really good team like San Antonio in the second of back-to-back 33:27 home games after they lost the first one straight up. I don't like that situation so I don't want to 33:32 play Houston here. But I could understand your point about 224.5 maybe being a little bit too low 33:40 because Houston doesn't enter this game with anywhere near the height at the rim that Oklahoma 33:46 City had. Oklahoma City runs three seven ones out there in rotation just keep bringing them out 33:53 with a Die Mara now and that was difficult for St. Antonio the other night. They won't have that 33:57 difficulty here so maybe the 224 is attackable from an over stand point and maybe people are 34:03 overreacting a little bit to the lack of St. Antonio offense because as we saw last night 34:10 Oklahoma City's defense is killer and when they turn the screws up it's it's hard for anybody 34:15 to score on them.

We saw it and 37:19 The pelicans, you know in a quicker-paced game, which this is gonna be 37:25 That game against Indiana the other night total 243 37:29 We're looking at 239 and a half here. I think Utah's offense picks up bad home 37:35 New Orleans, I think New Orleans is a better team, 37:37 but again, these lines have been blasted in some cases. 37:42 Four point favorite down to only one and a half, 37:45 or excuse me, four point dog in my mind 37:48 because I'm looking at New Orleans 37:49 only plus one and a half, now some place is less. 37:52 But I think the total is the right side here. 37:55 Utah home games just get there 37:58 and they're a little bit better 37:59 personnel-wise offensively this year. 38:01 So for me, it's one that I did play 38:03 No one in Utah over the total. Yeah, I do remember jazz at home for sure 38:10 Grizzlies and Warriors 38:13 Four and a half was I'm sorry three and a half was the opener 38:17 Looking at four and a half now little went up from two thirty four to two thirty seven and a half 38:23 Stuart questionable Howard doubtful Saunders out as he impods both questionable butler moody and porzing is out 38:32 Go to state. Look just as bad as I expected them to look now. They're 38:37 Homeland four and a half points 38:43 Grizzlies I 38:44 Mean Grizzlies still haven't even engine this game. We're right. They got some size on Golden State 38:48 Golden State has no size ED and boozer vs. Dreymon and and Santos and I like Ty Jerome, too 38:58 Might have to just fade this Warriors team and hop over there with the Grizzlies 39:01 What do you think here? You know, I think it's the only way to go off of what I saw the other night now 39:09 Linda Borg 39:11 Doesn't have somebody like donchage that he can go poke in this game 39:17 But I agree we put we picked them out the other night 39:21 Or the other day when we had to show that tied your own yet 45 39:26 When he's on the floor, they're a better team and if you ask me 39:31 If we take Steph out of the equation, 39:34 and I guess some might argue Draymond, 39:36 but the position he's playing, 39:37 I can't list him as the better player 39:39 at his position in this game. 39:41 I had six, six playing center. 39:42 So, you know, Golden State 39:45 just doesn't have the personnel at this point in time. 39:48 Like I said, the other day when the new year comes 39:51 and we get Jimmy Butler healthy, 39:53 if that's when it happens, 39:54 when the new year comes 39:55 and we get poor Zengas healthy, 39:57 if that's what happens, it's a different team. 40:00 Moses Moody, et cetera. 40:01 But right now, man, we saw it the other night. 40:04 I had Lindenburg, I told you guys, 40:06 I had him in that PRA, PRA bet the other night 40:09 and there's just no scores on this team. 40:14 Steph was forcing shots because he knows 40:16 he's the only guy that's dependable. 40:18 I don't know. 40:19 I would look Memphis in that game plus the points. 40:21 I was actually surprised that it was bet up 40:24 from three and a half to four and a half. 40:25 I'm thinking to myself, who are these warrior backers? 40:29 Yeah, there's one right there star child. I can only lean warriors in this game 40:35 Star child is a contrarian though. He's gonna bet whatever everybody else is not betting 40:39 I already know that another warriors look right here in the chat 40:43 So some people are looking to we got another Warriors fan right here though. You know this one is KC 40:49 She says yeah backwards. She don't want to test this one 40:54 You don't want to test this one 40:56 All right, you know what that means from KC 40:59 The next one up, a couple more to go. 41:03 Clippers and Lakers opened up minus 10
