In context

Lowei wouldn't say prohibitive

Billfavorites but they are my you hate when i bet my life they are easily my bet my life team in the east i think unless they have injuries i would expect them to be back i don't know why

Lowethat wouldn't be uh injuries wear and tear backup center situation not quite what it was i think you can fix you know they snuck in those last week like all the guys that they signed for like non -guaranteed training camp deals that were good players like Bruce Brown.

LoweThey'll add another guy who helps them get through the season, but they'll miss Mitchell Robinson. But I agree with you. Like, as of now, I'm picking the Knicks to make the finals.
