I'm joined in studio today with Brian Leonard, who likes to disagree with me a lot, and you follow him at B.

Leonard Sports.

And then we have the man Teddy covers.

Follow Teddy at Teddy Underscore covers.

Love the guys with the old underscoring there.

Teddy, we've got the Warriors at the Sixers were taping on Wednesday night, so these teams are going to be able to have another game before they play on Saturday.

Looking at a projected line, you're putting us at minus four and 1/2.

I'm saying probably four and 1/2 for five for the Warriors, but I'm slightly lower.

It's the third game in four days for the worry or so, but it is still the Warriors.

Teddy.

They had a little dose of reality on Saturday night against the Houston Rockets without James Harden.

What happened there.

How many times do we see?

It happens over and over and over again?

The star sits.

The opposing team lets down.

The other team wins, you know?

I mean, it's not Ah, unique or unusual occurrence.

The Warriors still are the single best team in the N b A.

The team to beat the number one power rated team by on my numbers by at least a couple of points.

And it's a 70 Sixers team that is, without Joel Embiid.

You know who is Ah, legitimate All Star.

And they just lost his backup when margin of its just got hurt.

Eso When you have 27 footer rim protectors on your team and both of them are out, that's not necessary.

Good news against Golden State.

So that's why number my number was a CZ high as it is, and also why it's hard for me to make a case for Philly here, even though, as Brian said, Warriors to play back to backs Wednesday and Thursday.

Yeah, it's Ah, it's interesting now, without the two big guys that filled up, he's gonna have to worry about somewhere outside shooting, and that's been the problem with Philadelphia.

Simmons doesn't shoot three pointers.

Um, when you get a team that's used to playing off the center position and setting yourself up that way and now they don't have that ability, it's gonna be tough to match scores with the Golden State here.

And I looked at the six or so far this year when they play in the top five opposition only three and eight straight up on this season.

They have not really played well against the best teams.

Uh, the only problem is when you're playing a team like Old State is, it all depends on you going to say that something approved.

School State wants to do something they did lose earlier in the season.

1 13 to 104 at home filled up.

You beat him at home.

So there is that revenge.

But we've seen that already a few times this year with the Golden State, you expect him to come out with some revenge.

But this is a veteran team that they're going through the motions of this point until he gets the playoffs.

Ah, lot of people would bring in too much of the revenge angle here.

Um It's gonna be tough.

Field off.

You got to keep up scoring with Gold State in this one.

What's funny?

Wouldn't talk about what happened in that first meeting on the perimeter.

Issues for Philadelphia shooting.

Well, the first meeting.

Steph Curry had 10 3 pointers and the rest of the Warriors, the entire rest of the team was one for 20 from beyond the arc.

So it was an issue that nobody bought.

Steph was hitting that night, and that's how Philly came away with a win, because my first gut was, Hey, you know, you lose a couple of rim protectors.

Here we are third game and four nights for Golden State.

Maybe the defense of efforts aren't there.

May be looking over in this ball game, and then you realize that the total in the first meeting was to 40 and 1/2 and it stayed under by 24 points.

And the the fact that they, even with the war, is hitting 11 3 pointers in that game well below what they're capable of doing on some nights.

But it's really do something right defensively.

Their it worries me enough that I'm probably not gonna get involved at all e hate to cut you off.

I'm sorry.

Uh, actually died.

Wait, Marco, we've got Marco quietly trying to get as many words as Can you mention that hold a little bit And a lot of people look att, the prior matchups and just look at the final score.

The first thing I do is look at what teams did from three point range.

That usually tells you the three point range and how many files shots they get.

That is usually what it boils down to in these games.

So always look, if you looked at the prior game, look and see how these teams issue from three point range Onda free throw line is well, I mean, there's no step that correlates more with games going over then, if you look at the free throws a game where there's no free throw, stay under and under the 1,000,000 free throws go over, and the correlation is very clear through the spectrum just for me to throw my two cents into the ring here.

That going back to that first meeting with Philadelphia that was the first game back at home for Golden State after a very long road trip to the East Coast.

And who did they have up next?

After Philadelphia was the revenge game with the Lakers and LeBron?

So, from a situational standpoint, I always love fading teams, that first game back home off of a long road trip, which that's what it was for Gold State.

And they had, you know, even though Philadelphia, we just talked about it.

Another video.

Philadelphia's a better team than laters.

You're still Maur up for the Lakers and LeBron, and I think it was a bad spot for Golden State in that meeting.

If you're looking for other reasons why they performed poorly against Philadelphia, So I kind of like the Golden State here, with all the injuries to Philadelphia, depends how bad they make us pay to take Golden State.

Yeah, the problem is, I mean, literally.

There has been no money to be made backing the Warriors.

None.

Right now, they've been a total 80 m, you know, on fire, they're just tearing money up the other way.

They're not, as one would expect, that will continue because their power rated to high heaven and they're just not winning games by that type of margin.

All right, good stuff from both guys.
