00:00Now, let's look at the finals here, and OKC is minus 150,
00:04followed by the Knicks at plus 220, and the Spurs at plus 550.
00:09A lot of hypotheticals out there, guys, so let's flip over to that.
00:13The Thunder playing the Knicks are minus 265,
00:16and the Spurs playing the Knicks, the Spurs are minus 225,
00:20the Knicks plus 165.
00:22So the oddsmakers are telling us New York stands a better chance
00:27against the Spurs and potentially a chance to even win that series,
00:31but the oddsmakers are telling us maybe not as much against the Thunder.
00:35Do you agree with that sentiment?
00:38Yeah, 100%.
00:39We saw the Knicks actually have the Spurs number in the regular season.
00:42They had a winning record against this team.
00:43They beat them in the NBA Cup final game as well,
00:46so I think that they do match up a little bit better.
00:48My biggest question with the Knicks,
00:50obviously we've seen them play historically incredible basketball
00:53for the last month and a half.
00:54Like, you know, I can rattle off all the stats.
00:56It's been well-documented how incredible this team has been playing,
00:59but they have had opportunities as well to show that the rest
01:02versus rest conversation doesn't matter,
01:04as they brought the broom out a couple times in their last two series,
01:07but this is the NBA Finals.
01:08This is the first time this team has been there in 27 years.
01:11Are they going to be a little bit tight?
01:13Are they going to be a little bit – does the momentum die off a little bit
01:17in comparison to what we've seen over the last month?
01:19So I'm fascinated to see which matchup, obviously, they're going to have.
01:22They do match up a bit better with the Spurs,
01:24but I do think they would give OKC some problems as well.
01:27We're in store for a fantastic NBA Finals,
01:31whichever way you chop it up, Craig.
01:32But like I said, hopefully we wait a little bit longer
01:34to find out and we get a Game 7 tonight.
