00:00The Spurs were the better team last night.
00:02They hammered the Thunder, and we have a Game 7 on a Saturday night
00:06at 8 p.m. for a ratings bonanza.
00:09Yeah, I can't wait to watch it.
00:11I think it's going to be a lot of fun.
00:13The third quarter, though, from Oklahoma City was outrageous.
00:18The wrong side of a 20-0 or 23-0 run should not happen.
00:24And, again, man, I just, Mark Dagnalt has created
00:32an incredible basketball environment that puts a lot of these guys
00:38in a great position to succeed.
00:41I think he is clearly a smart basketball mind.
00:45I think in-game, he leaves a lot to be desired.
00:49I think this is the second year in a row, and, like,
00:54you're on the wrong side of a 20-0 run.
00:56You got nothing for me here, Mark.
00:58Like, nothing for me.
01:00And I am still just absolutely blown away.
01:04So they played, what, five regular season games,
01:06six now in the playoffs.
01:08I don't know how many times these teams have to play
01:10before he realizes that Chet Holmgren should be guarding
01:12Victor Webinyama.
01:15It's baffling.
01:16Like, Isaiah Hardenstein is still out there soft-challenging threes
01:20and just having not much of a prayer in that individual matchup.
01:25It's crazy.
01:29It truly is.
01:30And we talked about it yesterday, Kev,
01:33that we thought the side and the total were correlated, right?
01:36If OKC was going to win, that thing was likely flying over 220.
01:41If they didn't, then the only way San Antonio is really winning our game
01:45is because they're going to do exactly what they did to OKC,
01:49and that was limited to them under 100 points.
01:52The blueprint is there.
01:54The question is, can they do it on the road?
01:57I think the more interesting thing, Joe,
02:00is the way the totals moved here for Game 7.
02:04We know about these Game 7 taxes.
02:08I almost thought it was going to move more, right, from, you know,
02:14call it 219 to 212.5.
02:15I'm not saying that's not an insignificant move,
02:17but we've seen bigger.
02:22And, you know, the Game 7s this year,
02:26they've not been these bang-unders.
02:28So I think you end up in this very weird position
02:31where sometimes information isn't your friend.
02:33Like, people knowing, oh, yeah, Game 7s fly under.
02:37Yeah, sort of the books know that.
02:39So you're watching these totals move massively,
02:41but if everybody is to believe that OKC winning
02:44means they're going to score $1.20 themselves,
02:47then I'm very curious to watch this total move.
02:50I think they opened it 211.5,
02:53and it's now climbed up to 212.5 here.
02:57I'm also, I'm a little surprised OKC is only minus 3.5.
03:00Yeah, I just, like, they've won at home now, right,
03:06more so than they've lost,
03:08and they're not winning these games by a point or two.
03:12Whoever wins here, the winning side,
03:14is usually winning somewhat comfortably.
03:16So, I don't know, like,
03:20they're sometimes willing to adjust things based on the spot,
03:23and other times they're not here.
03:25So it's, again, a very, very interesting setup
03:27we have for that Game 7 on Saturday.
