00:00Thunder, again, 15 and a half point favorites, total of two, 10 and a half.
00:05These poor Lakers are just so undermanned against Oklahoma City, and it really reared its head in game one.
00:12And, you know, I you know, I can understand maybe making a case for, hey, the Thunder are not going
00:17to win by 20 in every game.
00:19But I just don't know that that's the case in this series.
00:21I don't think the Lakers can unless Luca comes back.
00:24I just don't see the Lakers having a shot.
00:28Yeah, this is a tough situation for this Lakers squad.
00:31And as I told you before, I'm kind of an honorary Lakers fan.
00:34So it's a little bit tough to watch them struggle against the best team in basketball.
00:37However, I did take the plus 15 and a half in game one, felt really good about that bet.
00:43And even though they ended up losing by 18 and I didn't cash, I still feel like I was on
00:47the right side of things.
00:48And I told you, Craig, I'm going to make you bet something with me today that I feel really good
00:51about again.
00:52And it's this one. Give me the plus 15 and a half once again for the Lakers.
00:56Austin Reeves shot incredibly poorly last game.
00:59He went three from 16 from the court.
01:01I just don't expect him to shoot as poorly once again.
01:04J.J. Reddick kind of called him out, too, and said Austin has to be better.
01:06And I do think that's going to happen tonight.
01:08Marcus Smart was also not very good in this game.
01:10LeBron James has been fantastic all season long at 41 years old.
01:13And I think that he's going to continue to do that, exactly what we saw in game one,
01:17to lift this team and kind of help them in stretches.
01:19They were in this game until kind of a run in the third quarter.
01:21And then the Thunder kind of did, but the Thunder do and kind of blew them out the rest of
01:24the way.
01:25But I just think the 15 and a half is too many points.
01:27Do I think the Lakers are going to win this game outright?
01:29No, I would not be shocked whatsoever if they end up losing by, you know, 10 to 14 or something
01:33like that.
01:35But I just think that this number is a little bit too big.
01:37And I'm expecting a bigger game from, like I said, Austin Reeves.
01:40And I do think Marcus Smart is also going to be better.
01:42So it's a tough, tough way to fade the Oklahoma City Thunder, right?
01:47The best team in basketball.
01:48And I do think that they're going to probably win this game and get the job done.
01:51Also, SGA wasn't very good in last game either.
01:54Sub 20, which is not very normal for the probably second time MVP.
01:58But I think he's probably going to be a little bit better too.
02:01And I'm hoping that we just get a competitive game down the stretch
02:03and that it may be, I can not have to sweat out my 15 and a half point spread.
02:07But I think that's a good one.
