00:23But look, Nikhil Alexander-Walker is an excellent player.
00:26Look, the Hawks have been playing decent ball, right?

00:40I'm not messing around.
00:42And the Hawks can guard as well.

00:53I'm not just a guaranteed win, but they should advance.
00:58If this takes more than five games, I'd be surprised.
01:00If this takes more than five games, I'd be surprised.
