Episode Synopsis
Before getting to the major James Harden trade news Gina Paradiso and Kendrick Perkins jump right into their "First 48" bets. Perk thinks you have to take the Spurs to cover the first half against a depleted Rockets and some college basketball talk including Idaho sucks. [00:00]Perk and Gina debate the best backcourt in the NBA and why Coby White and Zach LaVine are in the Top 10 conversation. Plus, Perk has a surprise pick for unsung hero of the Lakers and why their chemistry is even better than last season. Perk and Gina take a break from hoops to talk NFL playoffs, Perk says you’d be a fool not to take the Packers this weekend, stay away from Bucs/Saints and the Browns are going to get smacked by the Chiefs. Which leads Gina to make their first official bet as she likes the Browns to cover. Then, they break down the blockbuster James Harden deal and debate if the Nets gave up too much. Perk would have traded Kyrie instead and kept the young core. Was James Harden disrespectful to his Houston teammates on the way out? Perk predicts Bradley Beal could be headed to the Miami Heat. And finally, Gina and Perk introduce the "First to 10" Frenchie Fluffy Bet! The Betting Academy: Hoops Edition is a collaboration between The Gaming Society and the Extra Points Podcast Network.
