00:00Listen, you know, I love our producer Joe Frieza.

00:02I think he does sensational work.

00:04I don't know if I agree with this headline, DRS, and I want to get your thoughts on it.

00:09Finals preview?

00:10Listen, the Celtics, absolutely, right, 24-9, reigning NBA champs, second best team in the

00:16Eastern Conference, only behind the NBA's best, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

00:20I understand the Timberwolves played in the Western Conference Finals last year, still

00:25had a shorter price to win the Western Conference this year.

00:30It's a Minnesota team that's really been flirting with .500 all season long, 17 and 15.

00:35I'm not sure that Anthony Edwards and the T-Wolves deserve that billing, just by two

00:39cents.

00:40No, you're right about it.

00:41I mean, what's next?

00:42We're going to use Midwest preview in this one or Midwest, you know, tilt in this game

00:45with Minnesota up there and Boston there?

00:48But I guess when you're looking for Boston and total talent, you know, they have the

00:50top picture there.

00:51If you're looking at the estimated starting lineup, poor Zingas is actually supposed to

00:55be back tonight for the Celtics.

00:57So full gas Celtics team, they're hard to pass up.

00:59Because if you say to yourself, Ben, the old adage, who do you think wins this game?

01:02Oh, I think the Celtics win it, but Minnesota covers, it's 4-stop it.

01:06Just pick the winner here.

01:07I think it's going to be the Celtics.

01:08They should win and cover.
