00:00The Western Conference Finals will start tomorrow night, Game 1 in Oklahoma City.

00:06For the series, the Thunder are minus 375, and the T-Wolves are plus three bills.

00:15You know, I'll tell you right off the jump.

00:19I'm taking Minnesota with the three bills in this series.

00:23I'm going for it.

00:24Well, I've been on Minnesota since the jump, and every round I said they'd win and get to the finals.

00:33And I've even told you they'd beat Oak City, right?

00:37I'm starting, I've got to be honest, I might be at the breaking point.

00:42I might be at the breaking point.

00:44You know, look, and it's not because of what I saw yesterday.

00:48It's because of what I've seen all year with that defense.

00:52Their defense is spectacular.

00:56They're going to give problems to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

01:01You know, they're going to have trouble scoring.

01:04They just play great defense.

01:07I, you know, I feel like they really are the best team in the league, and they're destined to go to the finals and win it all.

01:14I think they are.

01:15And I think that's why the sportsbooks are scared to death of them.

01:18You guys are going to clean them out.

01:20Anyone that bets on them, they're going to clean them out.

01:22Bottom line is, they can beat everyone, and they have.

01:26They're just destroying everyone they play.

01:29And, you know, you got Joker.

01:31They shut him down.

01:32Like, he was never good in that series.

01:35What did he do?

01:36He had one game.

01:37He was 44 and 15, right?

01:38That was it.

01:39One game.

01:41He had one great game.

01:42One game.

01:43That was it.

01:43Like, they will shut.

01:45I guarantee you they're going to give Ann Edwards problems.

01:48That defense is for real.

01:51And I want the Timberwolves.

01:54Because I've said from the beginning, I think they're going to go and make it to the NBA finals.

01:59Even last week, I said Pacers and Timberwolves would be the worst thing the league ever got.

02:04It'd be the worst thing that could ever happen to the league.

02:06I said it last week on this show.

02:08But, look, I watched it yesterday.

02:11They just suffocate you.

02:13When they want to, they can shut down anyone.

02:16And I think they're better than the Timberwolves.

02:17I mean, one's a one, one's a six.

02:19At some point, doesn't the top dog have to stand out and rise above all the others?

02:25They really are.

02:26Like, wasn't it supposed to be, you know, the Thunder and the Celtics are the two best teams in the league?

02:30And everybody said, no, it's the Cavs.

02:32Yeah.

02:33Well, the Pacers kicked their ass.

02:36So, I don't think anyone can beat the Thunder.

02:38I want the Timberwolves, but I don't think they can beat them.

02:41But I'm with you.

02:42I'll pull for them.

02:44I'll root for them.

02:45I'll go with it.

02:46But I think it'll be, at the end of the day, it'll be the Thunder.

02:50And I'm scared of death for the Knicks.

02:52And don't get me started on their history against the Pacers.

02:55It's not good.

02:56It's ugly.

02:57It is ugly.

02:58As far as game one tomorrow night, it's a big number for the opening game.

03:03I mean, seven and a half.

03:05Thunder are favored for game number one tomorrow at OKC.

03:08215 flat for the total.

03:11It's a lot of sticks.

03:13Yeah.

03:14I mean, but, you know, in that building, I'm not so sure.

03:17Because I took eight yesterday, and I took it completely in my arse.

03:22The eight.

03:22I took that right in my arse.

03:24So, I don't think I'm scared to lay seven and a half.

03:27In fact, I'm surprised it's not ten and a half.

03:30Like it was for every other game.

03:31Man, that's so much.

03:36Like the Timberwolves are a really good team.

03:40Like seven and a half just seems like a lot to be dancing with there.

03:46I think the T-Wolves come out.

03:47I'm taking the T-Wolves tomorrow night.

03:49I'm going to win with them.
