at OKCDRS a hefty favorite in the opening game of the NBA finals nine points spread in favor of
00:06
the Thunder a total already on the rise to 231 and a half it was 230 and a hook just yesterday
00:14
231 points 232 even expected in the opening game of the NBA finals are we going to see that much
00:23
offense from the very jump I don't know we we might and again earlier in the series not every
00:28
possession technically needs to be played like it's life or death they're getting used to the
00:32
other teams here don't know their offensive sets and also understand this you had a week to prepare
00:36
to put in some new offensive sets that might not even be on tape so the other team can't have that
00:40
scouting report whereas when you get the games three four and five you know everything that
00:45
they're doing at that point here but also like it's not fair to say that can rust like creep in
00:49
like the guys played an entire season they probably love having an extra couple days off and they should
00:53
be just fine so for me I do think we lean more towards the over than the under in game number
00:58
one don't love it but that's just where I would look at that point so I think the tempo will be
01:02
there it's just a matter of will the shot they can go down because saying to yourselves like oh
01:06
the Pacers would only score 98 points in this game put it this way the Pacers don't get to the
01:11
century mark in game number one don't watch games two three and four it's going to be academic at
01:15
that point so I'm expecting points at least in game number one
01:18
