00:00But let's talk top of the food chain here.
00:01The league's MVP, which was SGA.
00:04The Western Conference Final MVP, which was SGA.
00:07If they win, he'll probably be the MVP of the finals.
00:10But the question to you, coach, is 33 and a half is that total here.
00:14SGA in a closeout game situation on the road.
00:16Should we look at SGA and say, hey, man, he's going way over that total
00:20because he's going to have the ball in his hands the most tonight.
00:23Or somebody else on OKC that you might have your eyes on.
00:27I just think they have a problem with Jalen Williams.
00:29Now that they've gone to that double big lineup, Donnie,
00:32his ability to create off the bounce.
00:34The fact that he gets a three-level score, scores really well in transition,
00:38you know, get to the basket, really smart,
00:41but more smarter player than I really thought coming in.
00:44And then you saw the one time he got to his left,
00:46kind of bumped off Naysmith's little fadeaway jumper at the elbow.
00:51He's got the complete package.
00:52If I want to go over at either person, it's actually going to be Jalen Williams.
00:55And then if I go over for SGA, I'm looking at that assist prop
00:59because if I'm Rick Carlisle, I got to say this.
01:02If I'm losing a series, you know, you make the other guys beat me,
01:07not the star player who's the most comfortable on the road.
01:11I got to sneak one more in for you here, Coach.
01:14Obi Toppin has been a monster at points in this game, former Nick there.
01:20But Halliburton has a lot to do with giving him those wide-open opportunities here.
01:25Ten-and-a-half points.
01:26He's averaging 14-and-a-half over the last couple of games here.
01:31Got to be good from three, doesn't he?
01:33He's the best big man they have.
01:35I know, right?
01:35Because, you know, Miles Turner don't get no damn rebounds.
01:38I'm going under with Obi Toppin.
01:39Two straight games he's gone over.
01:41If Halliburton is hitting him the ball and Halliburton can't drive to kick it,
01:45that takes away what Obi Toppin does.
01:47Give me Obi Toppin under ten-and-a-half points.
