00:00
The second game tonight, game one, our final game one of the second round,
00:05
will be in Minneapolis where the Warriors and the Timberwolves will get together.
00:11
Warriors coming off the game seven win against the Rockets on Sunday night.
00:15
Timberwolves have had a little extra rest after smashing the Lakers in five games.
00:20
Six and a half now for the T-Wolves.
00:23
Two ten and a half is the total.
00:27
Yeah, I got to be honest with you.
00:29
I think the Timberwolves are a matchup problem for the Dubs.
00:34
I do not believe, personally, that the Warriors can match up with the T-Wolves across the board.
00:42
Starters or backups.
00:44
I think that a lot like the Pacers, I think the T-Wolves have too many bodies,
00:50
too many guys, too much talent, deep enough to do whatever they want in this game
00:57
and in this series, to the Warriors.
00:59
To me, the Warriors are really, you know, Curry, Green, and, you know, I think Heald and Pudzimsky, right?
01:08
And I'll give you Looney.
01:10
Okay?
01:11
Fair enough.
01:11
I think Moody shoots like crap.
01:16
I think Kaminga's been invisible.
01:19
I think Gary Payton's a good defender, but, you know, Green and Payton are the two good defenders on that Warriors team.
01:27
And Curry.
01:27
Three guys that can defend.
01:30
The problem is, is that the T-Wolves have eight guys that can defend.
01:34
I mean, they got eight guys that are a problem for the Warriors.
01:37
Too much talent in my book.
01:39
I think they're very dangerous.
01:42
I don't think they have an answer for Ant.
01:45
And, you know, I think Edwards is going off.
01:48
McDaniels.
01:49
Nas.
01:50
It goes on.
01:51
Gobert.
01:52
I mean, they got, I mean, it is all day.
01:56
Conley.
01:57
Don't get me started.
01:58
I'll be here all day.
02:00
I mean, don't get me started on how they have better players.
02:04
That's it.
02:05
Better players, better team.
02:06
They're going to beat them.
02:08
I think that the, I think the Warriors are going to win some games in this series, but I don't think tonight's one of them.
02:17
And I know that we've now seen in the other three game ones, the dogs not only have covered, they've won outright.
02:24
Right?
02:24
Knicks, Nuggets, and Pacers all won outright.
02:27
I don't think the NBA is capable of giving us two consecutive nights of great games.
02:34
So, I think that the Wolves are going to pummel the Warriors tonight.
02:40
I think they're going to smash them, and it's going to be one of these games where we can get to bed early by 11, 11, 15 on the East Coast.
02:48
We can shut it down.
02:49
I mean, even that board you showed before said the Wolves by eight.
02:53
So, if it's Wolves by eight, they cover.
02:56
And I think they can win this game by 10 or more.
03:00
Listen, the Dubs just had a brink series with the Rockets and had to go on the road to win game seven, and they got it done.
03:09
I respect that.
03:11
But now they got to go fly there, and they are living in bags, and they are going to play that team there in that building.
03:20
That place is going to be on its ear tonight, and they got a really good team.
03:24
I think the best chances for the Dubs are back at the chase.
