00:00I don't know how many wins we predicted for the Celtics this year, Turk, but the number was low.
00:03The number was 58 and a half, right?
00:04I wish I didn't bet that. I don't know why.
00:06That was free money.
00:07Yeah.
00:07Seriously.
00:08You can win 60 games in a sleep.
00:0958 and a half?
00:10I'm not trying to bet a lot of minus 110, but that's what I should have bet.
00:13Even if you moved it up a little bit, you can get it at plus money, probably like 59, 60.
00:18Maybe.
00:18Yeah, it's free.
00:19Go a few hams. Go five hams.
00:20Oh, yeah.
00:21Five hams.
00:22Increase the units.
00:24I'm not patient enough for the future bet.
00:25Increase the payout.
00:26I'm not patient enough.
00:27I'm not a big future guy either.
00:28I'm like, oh, wait.
00:29Oh, so I can lose it in six months?
00:31I can lose it tonight.
00:32Yeah, what are you doing with my money in the meantime?
00:33What are you, a bank?
00:34What are you doing with my money?
00:35Exactly.
00:35Yeah, yeah.
00:36That's a good move.
00:36I'll jam it in the mattress somewhere.
00:38So they look pretty good, huh, Turk?
00:39Yeah, I'd say so.
00:40And the biggest thing that stuck out to me in a couple of these wins is just their ability to
00:44go on these long runs that just demoralize a team.
00:47Like, you look at the Detroit game.
00:50They were down by six with 5-12 left, rattled off an 18-6 run, just were flawless on both
00:56ends of the floor.
00:56Then you look in Milwaukee, that third quarter, 11-2 run capped off by a Pritchard step-back,
01:0226 feet at the buzzer beater that just broke Doc Rivers.
01:05And then Washington, and they had the 54.
01:07It was 54-52.
01:08They went on a 58-24 run.
01:10It's just their ability to just take over a game like that.
01:13It's just, it's incredible.
01:14So I think I found the Peyton Pritchard comp.
01:16You guys ready for the Peyton Pritchard comp?
01:17Yes.
01:17I came up with one yesterday, and I promised that I'd have one.
01:21Toronto Raptors championship team, Fred Van Fleet.
01:25That's too high, too low, right in the middle.
01:26Like, Fred Van Fleet got better after Kawhi left, and he became more of a go-to guy.
01:31And he got paid by Houston last year.
01:33But at that time, he was a guy coming off the bench that could get hot and could get
01:37going.
01:37I feel like Pritchard, every year, has gotten better.
01:40And now you're looking at him, you're like, I don't know, he could be like sixth man of
01:43the year candidate, couldn't he?
01:44Yeah, I mean, that really heated up during the preseason as well, just how well he played.
01:48And with him, too, it's just his confidence.
01:50He shot one of 10 from the field on opening night.
01:53And since then, he hasn't been able to miss.
01:56It's insane.
01:56But I like that.
01:57I like that he can kind of heat up off the bench.
01:59Because he's useful, and he helps this team.
02:01He is the kind of guy that they need.
02:03Because their starting lineup is so good.
02:06And when you don't have poor Zingas, and you have to start Horford, you're like, all right,
02:12well, who's going to come off the bench?
02:13Who's going to give him a minute, especially in the regular season?
02:14And Peyton Pritchard's been able to do that.
