00:00We take a look at Golden State and Minnesota with the series-odd prices here.

00:03The Timberwolves are a minus-178 favorite to win that series.

00:06The Golden State Warriors at a plus-150 price.

00:09When you see those numbers to start that series, is it price appropriate for you, Coach?

00:13Or are you somewhat surprised that the Timberwolves would be that high of a favorite, per se, or not?

00:18Well, I'm going to take everyone back to, well, they probably didn't hear this,

00:21but you remember, right, last week, Donnie, we were talking about this with Ben and Joe

00:25during the commercial break about who was going to be the series price leader.

00:31And if I remember, Frizo was saying, our producer was saying, it was going to be Minnesota.

00:35And we were all saying it was going to be Golden State.

00:38But remember, that was that 3-1 Golden State.

00:41The way that Golden State looked just getting through and how, like, at times,

00:45stuff looked really old and how Minnesota just capped off that series,

00:50now it's starting to line up where it should be

00:54because the team that's playing better right now is Minnesota.

00:58The team with home court advantage is Minnesota.

01:02So to me, what's interesting is, is how do you bet this series?

01:06I have a hard time believing that Golden State's going to win this series.

01:11I don't even know that this is even going to be overly competitive.

01:15If we get what we got out of Minnesota, the same problems,

01:19the same problems that the Lakers had versus the Timberwolves

01:26are coming back to roost again.

01:30The lack of height.

01:32What are you doing with Draymond?

01:34Who does Draymond guard?

01:37Is Draymond guarding Rudy?

01:39Then who takes Randall?

01:40Well, then if you want to try and put, someone told me over the weekend,

01:43like, oh, you put Jimmy Butler on Randall.

01:46Then who the hell is guarding him?

01:47So to me, there are matchup problems defensively,

01:52not just height-wise, but athletic-wise.

01:54I love this to go six games or less.

01:57I'm going to go ahead and take Minnesota minus one and a half games.

02:00I think they get this within six games.
