Raptors, Lakers, Bucks, Warriors, Nuggets, Celtics — zero repeats."},{"host":"Liam","text":"And all but one of those teams got broken up by money. The new CBA is a buzzsaw."},{"host":"Marcus","text":"Hold on. The Warriors repeated before this stretch, and Denver kept their core together."},{"host":"Liam","text":"Denver kept the core and lost Bruce Brown and KCP in consecutive summers! That's the whole point."},{"host":"Marcus","text":"So you're saying the Knicks can't keep their roster together because the CBA hates dynasties."},{"host":"Liam","text":"I'm saying it's harder than it's ever been. Brunson's deal was a miracle. You can't count on that twice."},{"host":"Marcus","text":"Fair. But the Knicks won with depth, not two max guys and minimums. They're built for this."},{"host":"Liam","text":"Okay, that's the one argument I'll give you. But history says the field repeats more than the champion."},{"host":"Marcus","text":"And speaking of fields — LeBron's prop line tonight is sitting at six assists. Some accounts are calling that free money."},{"host":"Liam","text":"Six assists for a 41-year-old LeBron? One guy online said he averaged 8.2 last season."},{"host":"Marcus","text":"That was two seasons ago. Last year he averaged 7.2 in 60 games. Six is below his norm, but not by much."},{"host":"Liam","text":"So it's not free. It's a coin flip that pays like a sure thing. Classic."},{"host":"Marcus","text":"That's the prop game. And Cade Cunningham needs 20 and 8 tonight against Boston."},{"host":"Liam","text":"Against Boston's perimeter defense? Good luck. I'd rather bet on Tatum making a face at the ref."},{"host":"Marcus","text":"Both are likely, depending on the night. One is just more fun to watch."},{"host":"Liam","text":"Meanwhile, ESPN says the Eagles are missing their top two receivers Monday. No DeVonta Smith, no Dontayvion Wicks."},{"host":"Marcus","text":"That's real. That's the kind of news that changes how Dallas plays the entire game."},{"host":"Liam","text":"They're without their two best weapons for a division game! That's not just a story, that's the story."},{"host":"Marcus","text":"It makes the Cowboys' life way easier. You can finally double the tight end without getting burned outside."},{"host":"Liam","text":"If the Eagles still win this, then the NFC East is already over. And I'm not ready to say that."},{"host":"Marcus","text":"I'm not either. But Philly's line is that good. They'll run it 40 times if they have to."},{"host":"Liam","text":"And still win. But the injuries are a real gut punch."},{"host":"Marcus","text":"ESPN also reports Josh Jacobs is active for the Packers after six weeks on the exempt list. Debut tonight against the Lions."},{"host":"Liam","text":"Now THAT changes the game. Jacobs against that Detroit front on Sunday night."},{"host":"Marcus","text":"He's fresh, angry, and walking into a division game with everything on the line."},{"host":"Liam","text":"Green Bay's whole season changes if he looks like the old Josh Jacobs."},{"host":"Marcus","text":"Or he looks like a guy who missed six weeks of football. That's the risk."},{"host":"Liam","text":"I'll take the guy running downhill with fresh legs. You take the rust."},{"host":"Marcus","text":"Deal. But either way, the NFC North just got a lot more interesting."},{"host":"Liam","text":"And in college football, Miami hung 52 on Pitt with Malachi Toney grabbing a school-record 16 catches."},{"host":"Marcus","text":"Sixteen catches? That's a season for some receivers."},{"host":"Liam","text":"Mensah threw for 387 and four touchdowns.

No drama, just points."},{"host":"Liam","text":"The only drama tonight is whether anyone stops them before January."},{"host":"Marcus","text":"Good luck with that."}]}
