00:00No surprise here that the Thunder are big favorites.
00:02I think maybe had the series not gone seven,
00:06I think the Thunder maybe would even be bigger favorites against Minnesota.
00:09So naturally, if you want to take the Timberwolves here, Gilbert,
00:14I think maybe your best bet is to wait after game one, let OKC win,
00:19and then get your 5-1 or 6-1 or something like that.
00:22Because honestly, the way that Oklahoma City plays at home,
00:26I just don't see them losing their games in their building.
00:30Yeah, they kind of blew one, like I said, in game one of that series.
00:33And that might have been the one getting that loss out of their system
00:36against Denver early on last series.
00:38But, you know, we look back this year,
00:40and I remember you and I actually talking about this at one point in the year.
00:42Minnesota actually had their fair share of success against OKC.
00:46They're a team that's playing pretty good basketball.
00:48They've only played 10 games so far, beat the Lakers in five,
00:50beat the hobbled Steph Curry-less Warriors in five.
00:53But Anthony Edwards has supreme confidence.
00:55Julius Randle's playing really good basketball.
00:57So I think they have a fighter's chance in this series.
01:00I think they match it well.
01:01They make life difficult for Jake Gillis-Alexander.
01:03But I also think that the Thunder, the way they won this series,
01:06they'll play a lot more freely now.
01:08They kind of got the monkey off their backs,
01:09and they can feel more confident going into the conference finals.
01:12I expect a good series.
01:13I do think that the Timberwolves could at least get more than one game.
01:16I saw the over-under five-and-a-half there.
01:18I think the Timberwolves could get two wins in this series.
01:20I think the Timberwolves could get two wins in this series.
