00:00The Dallas Mavericks won their series in six games, but the

00:05Minnesota Timberwolves needed seven and a win in Denver.

00:08Are we going to get that same type of spark back?

00:11Because that's what I'm sort of fighting with.

00:13Are we going to get a Mavericks team that's more rested and

00:15ready and the Timberwolves just happy to be here in game number

00:17one or is this going to be one of those?

00:19You know what?

00:19We'll take that Game 7 momentum and roll it right over into

00:22game number one.

00:24I think the biggest thing I'm thinking about this Donnie.

00:27I'm like you.

00:27I'm kind of flipping back and forth in regards to how I feel

00:31about this.

00:32The thing that makes most important sense to me with Dallas

00:34is all their games pretty much were close, right?

00:39So they're going to keep this game close to the best.

00:42They're going to walk the ball on the floor and they're going

00:45to lean on their defense.

00:46Now, both teams are saying defensively.

00:48That's why you see this total as low as it is and I still think

00:51there's a chance it could go under to be honest with you.

00:54So for me because of the way Dallas plays defensively walks

00:57the ball off the floor.

00:59I'm actually leaning right now Dallas plus the points.

01:02Minnesota 4-1 versus Dallas this year all before the trades

01:06of Gafford and PJ Washington.

01:08They're a completely different team Dallas.

01:11I think Dallas game number one with a little bit of that

01:14hangover effect of winning game seven in Denver plus four

01:18and a half right now is where I'm leaning with the Dallas

01:20Mavericks.
