00:00But if we resize up the NBA Western Conference market right now, one team has moved on.
00:04That's the Oklahoma City Thunder, Brian.
00:05They're a minus 180 price to win the West, followed by the Warriors, Timberwolves, Clippers, Lakers, Nuggets, and Rockets.
00:11Of those price points that we see on the screen, any bites from you or any teams that you're really intrigued with those price points?
00:17Not really.
00:18I just, Oklahoma City looks great.
00:20And yeah, honestly, Oklahoma City looks great.
00:23And like, I like Denver.
00:26I don't think, even at 2,400, I don't think they're going to go on a run here.
00:30I'm not sure how well they're going to match up with Oklahoma City if they even get to that point.
00:34The Lakers are in too deep of a hole, and I didn't like their defense anyway.
00:37The Clippers, I have concerns about Kawhi Leonard finishing any game, not to mention any series.
00:42The Timberwolves, I feel like they're playing above their heads right now.
00:45I think defensively, like, they have what it takes to really go deep into the playoffs.
00:49But is Jaden McDaniels going to continue to average, like, roughly 20 points a game?
00:52Is Nas Reed going to continue to be hyper-efficient?
00:54Maybe, but they're also playing a Lakers defense that I think is one of the weaker defenses of the good teams.
01:00Like, the good teams in the playoffs right now.
01:02The Warriors, do they quite have enough?
01:04I worry that, like, it becomes Steph and Jimmy, and then you need somebody else to step up,
01:09and that somebody else, like, it becomes really tough.
01:11Maybe it'll look better against Houston, who has a really good defense.
01:15Like, maybe it'll look better going forward, but the problem is they would play Minnesota right after this,
01:19whose defense is also really good.
01:20And with the Thunder, I mean, not that I play it at minus 180.
01:24I don't feel the need to do that, necessarily.
01:26Just play them to win the finals, if that's going to be the case.
01:30But I think, like, they're far and away looking like the best team.
01:33That's not to say they won't be challenged in round two, though, because I think they will be.
