00:03
The Dallas Mavericks won their series in six games, but
00:05
the Minnesota Timberwolves needed seven and a win in Denver.
00:08
Are we going to get that same type of spark back?
00:11
Cuz that's what I'm sort of fighting with.
00:13
Are we gonna get a Mavericks team that's more rested and ready and
00:15
the Timberwolves just happy to be here in game number one?
00:18
Or is this gonna be one of those, you know what, we'll take that game seven
00:21
momentum and roll it right over into game number one.
00:24
>> I think the biggest thing I'm thinking about this, Donnie, I'm like you,
00:27
I'm kind of flipping back and forth in regards to how I feel about this.
00:32
The thing that makes most important sense to me with Dallas is,
00:35
all their games pretty much were close, right?
00:39
So they're gonna keep this game close to the vest.
00:42
They're gonna walk the ball on the floor, and
00:45
they're gonna lean on their defense.
00:46
Now, both teams are outstanding defensively.
00:48
That's why you see this total as low as it is.
00:50
And I still think there's a chance it could go under, to be honest with you.
00:54
So for me, because of the way Dallas plays defensively, walks the ball up the floor,
00:59
I'm actually leaning right now, Dallas plus the points.
01:02
Minnesota 4-1 versus Dallas this year, all before the trades of Gafford and
01:08
PJ Washington, they're a completely different team, Dallas.
01:11
I think Dallas game number one, with a little bit of that hangover effect of
01:15
winning game seven in Denver, plus 4.5 right now,
01:19
is where I'm leaning with the Dallas Mavericks.
