00:00Might we see something similar on Sunday evening, Coach, where the line in favor of Oklahoma City is even stronger than it was entering game number one.
00:10Last night, double digits, sure, but just 10 points.
00:13This one, 11 in favor of OKC with a total that has worked its way down by about a possession.
00:20230 stayed well under last night, 227 and a half.
00:24So, J.Y., in that similar spot, will the Thunder respond with another route in game number two of Indiana?
00:32That's a big line, 11.
00:34I mean, that's a huge line, but that's an expectation based off the fact that you expect a comeback.
00:38Ben, I'm looking right now at that team total of over 119 and a half.
00:43I think you'll see Oklahoma City kind of get after it a little bit, maybe try and get their game, honestly, more up and down,
00:50and expect, you know, other guys to play well.
00:53Obviously, you got S.J. at 38.
00:56My guy, Lou Dort, had five threes.
00:57Look at his three-point prop.
00:59It's over two and a half, made threes at plus money.
01:01I still think they're going to give him the ability to shoot the ball.
01:05Tons of attention to Lou Dort.
01:07Take a look at that.
01:08But I expect there to be more firepower in scoring, particularly out of Oklahoma City.
01:12And then you could get a situation where if Oklahoma City is rolling,
01:15you could get like what other coaches have done, particularly out there at Alleman,
01:21is just putt and just take the, you know what, kick in and just regroup for game three.
01:26I do like over 119 and a half points for OKC, Ben, on Sunday night.
01:32What if we take a look to from that last series against Minnesota?
01:34I like to talk about Chet Holmgren.
01:36I always think he could be that piece there that you're saying, oh, maybe he's breaking through,
01:39but then taking a step back.
01:40You had multiple games.
01:41We had 20-plus points against the Timberwolves, but last night you saw, Coach, 24 minutes played,
01:46two of nine from the floor, only six total points.
01:48What can we get out of Chet Holmgren for game number two for OKC?
01:52I think you've got to play him and Hardenstein together.
01:55I think you have to do that and put a little bit of pressure on Pascal Siakam defensively
02:01and go at Obi Toppin when he's guarding him as well.
02:04Chet should respond and come back.
02:05Like I said, I think changing the lineup, Donnie, you've played sports.
02:10When a coach sometimes overthinks and changes the lineup, it backfires because all the other parts,
02:17everybody's out of sync.
02:19Go back to your normal lineup.
02:21Go back to Hardenstein in the starting lineup.
02:24Let him play with Chet.
02:25Let Chet be that weak side rebounder and shot blocker and not have to be the center.
02:30And go at it and do what got you 80 wins at this point.
02:34I know there's a couple of occasions that they went without Hardenstein in the starting lineup,
02:37but one of them was a Jalen Williams injury, so it's really like two games of a sample size.
02:43Stop overthinking it.
02:45Do what got you here.
02:46And I think if they put Hardenstein next to Chet to protect him,
02:49kind of like we've seen in the past, someone like Aaron Jackson Jr.
02:52getting protected by Steven Adams or Zach Eadie, play him in his normal spot,
02:56and he should be able to be fine in game number two.
02:58Nine points, nine boards, and 17 minutes off the bench for Isaiah Hartenstein.
03:04He was pretty good when he was on the floor.
03:06It was playoff start number one for Kayson Wallace last night
03:10in game number one of the NBA Finals.
03:13So, J.Y. entering the debut game last night.
03:16Your series prediction, Oklahoma City in five.
03:19Is there an updated prediction after Indiana steals game number one in dramatic fashion?
03:25You know what, Ben?
03:25It could be easy to second-guess yourself, but I'm not Mark Dagonal.
03:30I'm sticking with it.
03:31Gentlemen sweep.
03:32They get the next four.
03:33Let's hope I'm right.
03:35Bing bong.
03:35It is still lower than a three-to-one price.
03:37Every price on Oklahoma City to win the NBA championship
03:41is still half that of Indiana, despite the Pacers having a 1-0 series.
