00:00So I was just saying that I think Williams, Jalen Williams is better than Anthony Edwards.
00:07I think Anthony Edwards is an incredible player, phenomenal player.
00:10I don't deny what he does and scores and big nights and, you know, all the endorsements and everything else.
00:16And he doesn't want to be the so-called face of the league, which he's made abundantly clear, right?
00:21But this other guy, frankly, for the Thunder, I mean, he does as much, if not more, in my opinion, every single night on that Thunder team than Edwards does for the T-Wolves.
00:37You know, there's a lot of nights like last night where he has 16, 20 points.
00:42I mean, you could go up and down there.
00:44The last two months of the season, I guarantee he had 10 games of like 20 points.
00:48Okay, so that's still a good game, but this guy, Williams, goes out and has 30-plus all the time.
00:55Right, and he's already, and I'm going to get to it later when I give you the full list, like, he's already, he was second-team All-NBA this year.
01:02You know, he was on the second-team All-NBA.
01:03That means he was one of the 10 best players in the NBA this season.
01:10You know, and Ant was on the second-team All-NBA, so him and Ant were both on the second-team All-NBA.
01:14So, you know, that's big, you know, he's been in the league two years less.
01:19Edwards has two more years on him in the league, but he's been unbelievable.
01:22Speaking of Ant, tough night last night.
01:25Defense really held him down.
01:27He was 5-for-13 from the floor, 1-for-7 from three.
01:31Only had 16 points.
01:34After the game, though, didn't really think he had a bad game.
01:38He just thought, just wasn't there for him.
01:40I don't look at it like I struggled, or he struggled.
01:43They just, they had a good game plan, making us get off the ball.
01:49Especially for me, man, it was super gaps.
01:51I made the right play all night, so I don't really look at it like I struggled.
01:54I didn't get enough shots to say I struggled, so that might be how you guys look at it.
01:58But, yeah, I didn't struggle at all.
01:59It's just, I made the right play.
02:00Yeah, I don't agree with any of that at all.
02:04He did struggle, and it's because in the first half, he had two shots.
02:09Right.
02:10Two shots in the first half.
02:11The night before, the guy had 30-some shots.
02:15He scored 30-plus points.
02:18They won by 40-plus points.
02:20And then last night, he took the night off.
02:25They shut his ass down.
02:28This isn't about him.
02:29This is about the best defense in the NBA, and they're going to the finals,
02:36and they're going to win it all.
02:38That is what it's about.
02:40Now, the one thing, not that Oklahoma City cares about this,
02:43because they're one win away from the finals.
02:45We care about it.
02:46They actually still haven't covered a game on the road this playoff,
02:52which is pretty bizarre considering, like you said, they steamrolled everybody.
02:55But it was three, yeah, three, three-and-a-half, depending on where you shop.
03:00They're now 0-7 in the playoffs on the road in terms of ATS.
03:050-7 in the playoffs on the road.
03:07So, something to maybe keep in mind as we get to the NBA finals in the next round,
03:13where they've been on the road in terms of those games.
03:14You know, I got to be honest with you.
03:15I thought it was terrific that I just bet them to win.
03:19I think I bet minus a buck and a half just to win the game.
03:23Like, I didn't even think anything of it at the time.
03:26I just thought that they would win.
03:28I didn't think, you know, maybe the number's too big.
03:30I didn't think that.
03:31That'd be like saying, I think the number's too big tonight, which I don't think it is.
03:35It's two-and-a-half, three.
03:36What's the difference?
03:37Right.
03:39As far as the series goes, it would take a very, very large mountain for the Timberwolves to climb
03:44in order for them to get this series.
03:47Now, they'd have to win the next three in a row.
03:50We'll take a look at the series price quickly before I give you the next one.
03:55There it is.
03:56Minus 7,000 plus 2,000 for the Timberwolves if you think that they can go and win the next three games.
04:05Like, this is a real—this is just a waste of time.
04:09So, here we go.
04:10The Thunder, if anyone hasn't noticed already, has been the most dominant basketball team in the NBA all year.
04:18They are the best team, hands down.
04:21They're better than the Celtics.
04:23They're better than the Cavaliers.
04:25They're better than the Knicks.
04:27They're better than the Pacers.
04:29They're better than Denver, obviously.
04:31They're better than Golden State.
04:33They're better than the Lakers and all these other teams that they tried to sell us.
04:38You know, if you watch ESPN, they'll sell you to Lakers.
04:41The Lakers are going to win the next five championships.
