00:00
The points prop for Anthony Edwards entering game one was 25 and a half, if I am not mistaken.
00:07
Shea Gildas Alexander at 31 and a half.
00:10
He stayed barely under, but did score 31 with 20 points coming in the second half.
00:15
11 from the charity stripe.
00:17
But we focus on Anthony Edwards first and foremost.
00:21
What does he need to do tonight, DLS, for the Timberwolves to even cover the number and keep this game close?
00:27
He's got to be in the high 20s or low 30s.
00:29
There's no question about it.
00:30
He's the best player they have on their team.
00:31
Love what Julius Randle did in game number one.
00:33
Julius Randle sits at 19 and a half in game number two.
00:35
But the focus is on Anthony Edwards, no doubt, in my mind.
00:38
And also, as you talk about, on that opening number, he opened up at some outlets 27 and a half as his points prop.
00:45
And it slowly came down during the day.
00:47
And, you know, look, I bet that.
00:48
I love the under for Anthony Edwards.
00:49
And he didn't get 20 points in the last game.
00:51
So it's like, all right, understanding the task at hand.
00:54
Loved OKC game number one.
00:56
Loved Anthony Edwards to the under.
00:58
Complete role reversal for me in game number two.
01:01
I really like the Minnesota Timberwolves at seven and a half.
01:03
But you know what?
01:04
I might like even more.
01:05
The points prop for Anthony Edwards.
01:06
Come on now.
01:07
I don't.
01:07
Lou Doerth's a great defender.
01:08
And that's part of the handicap for game number one.
01:11
But sometimes, as a superstar, you have to take things in your own hand.
01:14
Because it was just so easy.
01:15
Everybody would just get a defensive stalwart and say, yeah, Anthony Edwards can't beat us here.
01:19
It's up to the superstar to impose his will on the defender.
01:23
Get to the free throw line.
01:24
Make your three-point shots.
01:25
And to see that graphic correctly here, which Anthony Edwards, the longest shooting distance of his career, came in game number one.
01:31
Come on, man.
01:32
You're too big, talented, and powerful not to get to the rim and get those easy buckets, which is what you need.
01:38
24 and a half.
01:39
I love Anthony Edwards to get over that price point tonight, Ben.
01:43
I do.
01:44
Completely agree, DRS.
01:45
And then you need the secondary members to help as well.
01:48
Julius Randle has been sensational in this playoff run.
01:51
24 plus now in five consecutive games.
01:54
Was Minnesota's leading scorer in game number one with 28.
01:58
But you need a lot out of Anthony Edwards.
02:00
You also need guys like Nas Reed, Dante DiVincenzo, and Nikhil Alexander-Walker not to be atrocious off the bench.
02:07
They were a combined five of 28 from three key scorers in that second unit.
02:13
Jalen Williams, solid in game one.
02:15
Chet Holmgren, solid in game one.
02:17
How about Kenrick Williams off the bench?
02:19
A perfect three of three from the floor.
02:21
Two of two from deep and playing some excellent defense.
02:24
As well.
02:26
OKC has a lot of horses that can run in this series.
02:29
A lot of depth and balance for this Thunder side.
