00:00It's a matter of when, not if, with Oklahoma City beating Phoenix.
00:04I suppose, you know, Suns fans will be jacked up when it goes back there
00:08because that's just the nature of the NBA.
00:09And then you'll know very quickly if they stand a chance to win a game in this series.
00:13But it's just not often when you see a team playing at full strength,
00:16essentially like Phoenix is getting 17.5 points.
00:19But the Thunder are just a juggernaut at this point.
00:22So a lot of other options, too, in the game.
00:25It doesn't have to be the spread.
00:25The total is 215.5.
00:27And I'm sure that, you know, we'll review your plays of the day coming up here.
00:30But, yeah, I mean, does it kind of get out of the way of OKC right now?
00:34It kind of feels that way.
00:36Yeah, it's tough.
00:37You know, I want to take the Suns and the spread so bad.
00:40The 17.5 just feels like a joke.
00:42I mean, it feels like a similar situation to what we saw yesterday
00:45with the Sixers and the Celtics.
00:47I mean, nobody gave the Sixers a chance to even make that game competitive,
00:50much less went outright.
00:52And, you know, who knows?
00:53It's the NBA playoffs.
00:55There's a lot of crazy things that happen.
00:57But like you said, the Thunder are a buzzsaw,
00:59and it's really tough to think that they don't come out
01:01and just handle business once again.
01:03But if this Suns team is going to compete in this game
01:06and maybe, just maybe, steal a game on the road here
01:10and just cover at that point,
01:12Devin Booker's going to have to be better.
01:13He wasn't really very good in game one.
01:14He's going to have to be the superstar caliber player.
01:18Dylan Brooks played pretty well in this game,
01:20shot the ball pretty efficiently.
01:21But overall, the three top scorers in Booker,
01:24Devin Booker, Dylan Brooks, I always get the DBs confused,
01:27and Jalen Green.
01:29Those three guys have to shoot the ball better.
01:30Otherwise, this is going to turn into yet another 20-point blowout,
01:33maybe more than that.
01:34So I lean with the Suns to cover,
01:35purely off the fact that I just hope that this game stays relatively close.
01:38But, yeah, I'm not touching this one with a 10-foot pole.
01:40So I do like a couple props in this game.
01:43I'll just rattle those off real fast.
01:44Jalen Williams was fantastic in game one,
01:46playing substantial basketball once again,
01:48returning from his on the shelf.
01:51His rebound at 10.5, smacked with ease in the first game.
01:54I like the rebound line, too,
01:55and if you'd rather go that direction,
01:56depending on how you like to bet.
01:58And then on the other side, as I mentioned, Dylan Brooks.
02:00The points looks nice, too, but I like the rebounds.
02:02Over 3.5, he had seven boards in game one.
02:04Maybe we're going to see some missed shots.
02:05The Oklahoma City defense is fantastic, obviously.
02:08So I think Brooks is going to have to be involved on the offensive glass
02:11and obviously rebounding on the defensive end as well.
02:14So I like his rebounding line at a playable number as well.
02:16So a couple props in that one, lean with the Suns.
02:18But, yeah, besides that, nothing else.
02:20I hope that the Oklahoma City Thunder lose a game,
02:22but maybe it's not going to be this one.
