OKC, no rest for the weary coach.
00:02
You're going to be right back on the court tomorrow,
00:03
taking on the Minnesota Timberwolves.
00:05
And if we take a look at the FanDuel Sportsbook right now,
00:07
the odds to win this series, heavy for OKC, no surprise,
00:10
at a minus 375 and the Timberwolves at a plus 300.
00:13
Talk to me about this, coach, because round number one for OKC,
00:16
easily dispatching of Memphis 4-0.
00:18
I actually like the fact that they went seven games against a quality opponent here
00:22
and still had to face adversity even in a game number seven.
00:25
How are we setting up this next series with a rested Minnesota Timberwolves team
00:28
taking on OKC fresh from the fight here?
00:31
Well, listen, I think they've gotten their fight, right?
00:35
And I think Oklahoma City is going to be better off now.
00:38
And I think, you know, when you look at Minnesota, guys, let's be honest.
00:43
They had an extremely, maybe this is too strong a statement to say,
00:48
easier pathway than people thought, particularly because of their size, right?
00:54
They were able to impose their will, you know, with Rudy,
00:58
especially with Julius Randle, Nasir, and so on and so forth.
01:01
This is going to be the first series now where it's size on size.
01:05
You know, obviously, Hartenstein versus Rudy.
01:08
You look at, obviously, you're looking at Chet Holmgren with his size
01:12
and his length to be able to go against Julius Randle.
01:15
Now, you can't roll Julius Randle into the low post in this series
01:19
because you can't pull Rudy Gobert to the perimeter.
01:22
So, some of the things that you may think could be matchup for Minnesota are not here.
01:28
I like the battle-tested Oklahoma City Thunder to go take this series.
01:34
Honestly, guys, and I've been on this team, Minnesota, going to this point.
01:38
I think this may be over.
01:40
Ready?
01:41
Ready?
01:41
I think it'll be over in five.
