00:00Gabe, what are you thinking about this big game tonight at the Rocket and the land?

00:04Well, I'll tell you what, it's kind of flying under the radar, isn't it, this year, that

00:08the Cleveland Cavaliers are that good and the Oklahoma City Thunder are that good as

00:14well.

00:15We're all in football mode.

00:16People really don't start paying attention to the NBA until after the Super Bowl.

00:20But tonight's matchup, to put in perspective, guys, and this is mind-blowing, it's the first

00:25matchup in NBA history between a team on a 15-game winning streak and a team on a 10-game

00:30winning streak.

00:31It's never happened before.

00:32It's the first inter-conference game in NBA history between teams with a winning percentage

00:36of 8.50 or higher this late into the season.

00:39It's the first time in NBA history that multiple teams have had a winning streak of 15-plus

00:43games in the same season since the Bucs and Raptors in 2019 and 20, or the second time

00:50in NBA history that multiple teams have won at least 30 games in their first 35 games

00:55in a season.

00:56Lakers and Bucs in 71-72, and to top it off, this is pretty wild, Oklahoma City, plus 12.1,

01:04Cleveland, plus 11.8, on pace for the fourth and fifth highest point differential in NBA

01:10history.

01:11Some wild stuff and some pretty crazy numbers they're putting up, but, you know, like a

01:15band that you and I like, Scott, Megan Death, one sec, so far, so good, so what, right?

01:21Talk to us in June.

01:22So it's a cool regular season matchup.

01:25I just laid it out.

01:26It's pretty wild, like in a history, in a league, you know, this is the best regular

01:30season matchup ever, but, all right, go to the window and bet on the Cleveland Cavaliers

01:35to win the NBA title right now.

01:37Go to the window and bet on the Oklahoma City Thunder to win the title right now.

01:41I'm not saying they can't win, Scott, but a lot of work left to do for both these teams.

01:45Still, right?

01:46To prove it in the playoffs.
