You're listening to DraftKings Network. That's right. It's Thursday Thunder and it's brought to you by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear all about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Thursday Thunder, Juju, what do we got? We gonna start in the association. You already know what's going on.

The biggest game in the world tonight. The Boston Celtics versus the Indiana Pacers. Andrew Nemhar is at 4.5 assists. I think the brother will get more than 4.5 assists tonight. Because he's been facilitated. Like Stan Van Gundy says, he's been put into passing positions even at his short height. So go at 4.5 over Andrew Nimhart tonight.

Just by itself. That's leg number one. And also too, yeah, disclaimer, you can pick some of these apart. If you like one or two of these, pick them. This is just my three picks for tonight. Always pick and choose which one you like. Next, we're gonna move on.

I need to tell people just so they understand that Juju is taking a great deal more care with this than I believe is taken with Against the Spread, where everybody just farts out a pick and there's not a lot of thought. Billy nailed that one last night though. Panthers minus one and a half. I gave you that Challenger's one last week Dan, and it won. Mike Ryan also had the Mavericks last night, but Juju pours himself into these and when he tells you, feel free to pick two or individual ones. I don't believe you've had one in a

while, Juju, that is something that loses more than it wins. These have either gone three and oh or two and one for a while. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. And to back up some of this, think about it. Tyrese Halliburton has to become a scorer to win this game tonight. Pascal Siakam has to score tonight. Miles Turner as well, and somebody gotta pass him the ball at least four to five times. Good logic, and the last couple of games,

he's gone six assists, six assists, seven assists. Yes sirsky. Moving on to the NHL playoffs. Holy moly. See, people thought I was one dimensional. Uh-uh, I'm a 3D guy. Really? You dig me? I didn't have you as a hockey guy.

I'm gonna listen to my big brother. I'm not gonnad guy really I didn't have you as a hockey guy. I'm gonna listen to my big brother I'm not gonna I'm not gonna expose his name, but he said Leon dry saddle and them boys last year So I'm gonna go with Leon dry saddle tonight over 2.5 attempts on goal He's gonna shoot that thing at least three times tonight. You dig me I Dig you and I want I said that in the most Caucasian way possible, I dig you. But Chris Cody is looking up for us something I'm requesting, which is Chris Mad Dog Russo

trying to say the iconic hockey name Drisital because he butchered it and we had it in the system earlier this week and I wanna play it here before we get out of here. The third leg? The third leg, and I'm gonna expose, it was Michael Sher. My brother, salute to Michael Sher.

He's always believed in Leon Dreisdell and I believe in him too. A strange protection of his anonymity there. I don't understand why you didn't tell us Mike Sher. I mean, us Cs, we stick together. I don't know if my boy won his name in his Thursday Thunder. It might be a loser, you know?

I don't wanna attach his name to something that could potentially lose. But know that I'm placing these bets as well with you guys the last leg we're gonna travel to the WNBA we got the Notre Dame alum Marina Mabry 5.5 rebounds tonight against your New York Liberty New York Liberty you dig me I think she will get more than 5.5 rebounds because she's more than just a guard, a shooter. She's a pure shooter, went from anywhere on the court, but she also crashes and follows her shot.

Unlike a lot of people these days, they shoot it and they take a picture with their hand in the air. No, follow your shot. And she's a great example of a woman that shoots the ball and follows her shot. So she will get six rebounds tonight against the Liberty. I have been startled at how good you are at picking who's going over in rebounds in the

WNBA because when you pick these, they tend to go over very quickly. These have been cashed bets that cash in the second, you know, before early in the second half. So you haven't even made a sweat some of that stuff. How have you felt and how have you suffered generally your recent picks? Because we have not had a, and these are hard, three team parlays are hard,

but you have not had a three team parlay winner in a while after a hot streak. So, and you suffer these things. Yes, I literally am depressed over it. I'm so like, I asked my girl, like I put all these bets in myself and I'm hanging on to every game. I got a couple of TVs at the house and so I'm watching all of these games and I live

and die by these picks and I hate when I lose people money. Oh my goodness, it hurts my heart. So I make sure I'm at least practicing what I preach. I'm not giving you ever any random things. These are things that I'm putting my money on tonight. But you're also looking for inefficiencies. You're looking for things that look wrong in where the lines are because you happen to believe in a player more, because you tend to go over here.

You don't go unders. You're even a positive better. You don't go unders. You're not rooting for anyone to not have success. Right, and a lot of stuff be hitting, bro. I just don't want to be on wax being a hater. Like, I don't want to be like, this person tonight will not do a great job. And it just sits with me.

So I always want to go over. And I definitely trust my pitch tonight. Andrew Nimhart, oh my God. I feel like if anyone you see, attack that one. Now, why she don't hit? What about the Iowa Unders? Will you bet those? Absolutely. And because of my sister too we hit the bar last night we were cheering, not last night, last year we were cheering punt punt punt I'm always

gonna bet on the Iowa Under. Get it? Can you get for me Chris have you been able to find Chris Mad Dog Russo trying to say the iconic hockey name Dry Cytl? But the Oilers with McDavid The other kid what's hyper now together kids name. He is great that the kid from Germany Dratzel what is it? How's it now? Colin take a look stop look at your hockey schedule with the Chelsea Pier and what the hell was the kid? What's the kids name? He's almost like he's into the past more than he is into the shot. Leon Dreisaitl we're talking about?

Dreisaitl. Oh god that guy's good. Oh he's good. Dratzel. Dratzel. Yes, Kaliente Dratzel. It's a hockey player that I would bet on to have the over in assists and scoring. Dratzel. Dratzel. Kaliente Dratzel. Lucy, it's nice to see you again. You're not around here enough and I didn't think the show had enough Lucy today. Oh, that's okay. I'm running off like two hours of sleep. I took Zquill, didn't even work. I had my nice pillow so that helped a little bit but I got to be honest. I walked

in, I told Jeremy, I said, this had so much sugar in it so I said I will have a really strong like first two hours and then after that, goodbye. I think we should end this post-game show by celebrating how Jeremy ended our live hour. I wanna do that because I really did enjoy the laughter in the other room as a red face Jeremy walked out there to really a cavernous echoing laughter of many thousands of people just roaring in his face.

I did enjoy that. I felt both bad for Jeremy, but good for the general communal culture of our building to have everyone laugh together at Jeremy. But before we do that, can I get to some social media critique and commentary today about the show? Because I thought today had,

I mean, nothing's gonna do better than insult, the triumph, the insult comic dog. That's the best we did. But Tony, for having that as the opener, Tony followed that pretty well. That's a tough act to follow. Yeah, and we had a poll that unfortunately has taken over the mentions right now.

Is it rude to lean your seat back on airplanes? This is a chaos scene. The chat is going crazy right now. One person says, the seats are meant to recline. I'm not asking another passenger if I can recline the seat I paid for. That's, Matthew says that. And other people are saying that it's ridiculously rude. 69% of the audience said that it's extremely rude, but the poll is still going. Alright, that one always triggers people. Let's get to what happened with Jeremy here, because he petered out. Jeremy, you have to understand, Jeremy, as a broadcaster, has had a great deal of success

early in his career, an unusual amount of success. So when he soars towards stardom, he's jogging effortlessly. Everyone likes when he trips right before the finish line. It's more enjoyable. It's like when Whittingham did it, right? Where you're like, yeah, yeah, we get it, Whittingham. You're good at this, but it's better and funnier when you're not.

He's the number one Steph Curry. Oh man, I messed it up. Yep. And there's a mean for you right there, just enjoying, yep, you did mess it up. Is the number one staff curry? Oh man, I messed it up. Yep.
