00:00
The Warriors entered the postseason even being a play-in-turny team
00:04
with a third-best price to win the Western Conference crown.
00:07
Oklahoma City, a minus 150 odds-on favorite.
00:11
The Lakers now the second-best number at 6-1 and Golden State at 7-1.
00:16
J.Y., how do you make sense of these Western Conference odds where we stand
00:20
with seven of the eight teams figured out for the Western Conference playoffs?
00:25
I think the numbers are kind of wild, to be honest with you.
00:31
The Lakers obviously 6-1 playing great basketball.
00:34
Golden State at 7-1, that means they have to run through, obviously,
00:39
the 2-7 series with Houston and then the 3-6 series between Minnesota and the Lakers.
00:45
But then it's the teams under that that have my attention.
00:49
It's the Clippers at 12-1.
00:51
Listen, if Kawhi plays like Kawhi and it's healthy, they could beat anybody.
00:55
The Nuggets are extremely dangerous because they have the best player in the world.
00:58
And then there's Minnesota sitting at 20-1.
01:02
In my heart, I really – this may be the spicy ticket today.
01:06
I think they're beating the Lakers.
01:08
I have this feeling that Ant's got this next level that's ready to come out.
01:14
I think Rudy Gobert is going to be a problem.
01:16
They have enough defenders to kind of deal with the Lakers.
01:18
And at the end of the day, if Ant is dialed in, Ant could be the most dynamic player in the series.
01:26
I'd like them to win the series.
01:27
I also like Ant.
01:27
I think it was plus 185 last night to lead the series in scoring.
01:31
I think he's going to go for 30-plus.
01:33
No one can stop them on the other side with the Lakers.
01:35
No one can stop them.
01:48
No one can stop them.
01:52
No one can pass it.
