00:00This will be a 1 o'clock East tip down in South Beach for the Cavs and the Heat.

00:04One note on the Cavs, I will tell you.

00:06Evan Mobley won that Defensive Player of the Year.

00:09Thank God.

00:10Oh, Lord.

00:11I know that.

00:11I was stunned because everybody –

00:13So happy.

00:14The odds boards, everybody said, oh, Draymond's going to win.

00:17Draymond's – guess not.

00:18Good for Evan Mobley.

00:19So happy.

00:20Who wouldn't have won if Wembenyama didn't get hurt.

00:23Let's remember that.

00:24The only one because Wembenyama couldn't win because he didn't play the right amount of games.

00:29I think he still should have won Wembenyama.

00:31If the dopey rule wasn't there like before two years ago, Wembenyama would have won anyway,

00:37even though he missed the last two months of the season.

00:39He probably would have won the award either way.

00:41But hopefully he plays –

00:43Did you see him playing soccer in Costa Rica with the kids?

00:46I did not see that.

00:48I did not see him play.

00:49He's pretty good.

00:51With Wembenyama playing soccer out there.

00:54As far as tomorrow afternoon, Cavs are six-and-a-half-point favorites on the road in Miami.

01:02The total is 213-and-a-half.

01:04You know, for me, it's kind of like what you said with Orlando, isn't it?

01:08Like, if they're going to get a game in this series, isn't it going to be this one?

01:12Yeah.

01:12I think it – well, first of all, they don't like playing on the road.

01:17They don't like playing at 1 o'clock on the road.

01:19And so, I think the Heat have to be ready to take advantage of that.

01:26I don't think the Cavs are in a comfortable spot.

01:28They're at the Kaseya in Miami.

01:30I think it's – the Heat's shot here – not only do I like them with the six,

01:35I like them outright.

01:36They're going to win the game.

01:38And there's one advantage to that if you're the Cav players, though.

01:41If you're playing at 1 o'clock in Miami.

01:44You know, you got –

01:44You got – you got – you're done by, like, 5 o'clock with all your –

01:49you got the rest of the night in Miami with nowhere to be and nothing to do.

01:53And you're off on Sunday.

01:55You don't play against –

01:56You're right.

01:56I mean, it is party time.

01:58Where the F are you?

02:01Where the F are you?

02:03Where the F are you?

02:05Where the F are you?

02:08Party time!

02:09Not the worst place to have the 1 o'clock road game on a Saturday afternoon.

02:14If there's any place you want it, it's probably –

02:17Why do they always in the poor?

02:18Why do they always in the poor?

02:21Game two on Saturday will be at 3.30 East in Memphis,

02:25where the Thunder will put the finishing touches on the Grizzlies.

02:29You just said before, no John Morant.

02:31That's been made official.

02:32And what does that mean?

02:33Some heavy lumber here, 15 and a half for the Thunder, 221 and a half the total.

02:41I still like the 15 and a half with the Thunder to cover, you know,

02:45desperate times, desperate measures.

02:48I think they'll go, you know, all hands on deck and cover.

02:53I think the Thunder win this game by no more than three or four at best,

02:57if they do at all.

02:58They should finish them off.

03:00But I'll take that 15 and a half chunk.

03:02I just hit with nine and a half.

03:05You're going to give me even more?

03:07Okay.
