00:00But for the Celtics, these next couple of days,
00:02you're getting the Spurs, you're getting OKC,
00:05and I think this is their opportunity to prove
00:07what we were talking about yesterday.
00:08Forget the East.
00:09Like, they should be the favorite in the East.
00:10They are the favorite in the East.
00:11100%.
00:12You know, I don't know if I'm going to crush them
00:13for not getting to an NBA Finals,
00:15but they should be the betting favorite to get to the Finals.
00:17Tuesday, tonight, and Thursday,
00:20against the Spurs and Thunder,
00:21they can prove they should be the pick to win the whole thing.
00:24Yeah, so it's three of the four best records in the NBA, right?
00:27The other team would be the Pistons,
00:28even with their losing streak.
00:29They still have the best record in the East,
00:30but those are the teams,
00:31and the Thunder probably should be the overall favorite,
00:34but the Spurs take it to the Thunder.
00:37You know, and Wimbayama, Chet Holmgren's a great rivalry.
00:40Apparently, those guys have hated each other forever.
00:41Did you see some of those clips from, like, U18s and stuff,
00:45like USA, France?
00:46Like, they don't get along.
00:47They hate each other.
00:47So it's a good little rivalry.
00:49Or a tall rivalry.
00:50I'm skinnier than you.
00:51No, I'm skinnier.
00:52No, no, no, no, no.
00:53I have the bigger boy body.
00:54They call me Slender Man.
00:55You're like, yeah, so those guys are strange builds,
00:57but they're both very good.
00:59But also yesterday, too, just points out the Nuggets right now
01:02are the sixth seed.
01:04So, like, one of those teams is going to have to go through Denver
01:06and then each other.
01:08So, like, who knows who's coming out of the West,
01:10which is good news for the Celtics.
01:12But, yeah, I'm really looking forward to both these,
01:14especially with the backdrop of Jason Tatum has already returned
01:17and he's looked good for two games.
01:19Because it would have been, you know, if this was his debut, right,
01:22it would have been like, all right, what are we going to get out of him?
01:24And maybe that's going to be a little bit of a slow start
01:26and that kind of thing.
01:27Because it was a slow start for him against Dallas,
01:29but it didn't matter because it was Dallas.
01:31And then they ended up just, you know, blowing them out.
01:33These two games I'm really excited about.
01:36And we'll see how he does against the best competition.
01:39And I know it's just a one-off here, regular season game,
01:42but this could get you thinking, what would it look like in June
01:46if these teams got to face each other for a seven-game series?
01:49I wouldn't rule out the Spurs.
01:50I would bet money right now would be the Thunder.
01:52Me too.
01:52But, like, I think the Spurs have themselves a pretty good chance.
