00:00OKC entered game number one last night, a minus 820 series outright favorite.
00:05They get game one taken from them on their own home floor, and now it's minus 320.
00:10Again, still very heavily favored to the Thunder's way of going,
00:15but again, it feels more as a competitive series than we were anticipating entering game one.
00:20No, it's fantastic. I love the fact that Denver won that game number one.
00:23Again, unless you have a ticket on OKC, you thought they would sweep,
00:25or even if you thought they would win and cover game number one, that is the difference here.
00:29But now you're taking a look at the pedigree, and that's always the question mark that we have.
00:32We've loved OKC the entire season.
00:34We didn't doubt that they were actually the best team with the best record,
00:37but as always, you can punch holes in a great story by saying, yeah, that's great,
00:40but they didn't win three straight championships looking for a fourth straight
00:43where they're used to having adversity in the playoffs.
00:45They cruised in round number one, but also understand this.
00:48They got a good punch from Memphis in Memphis, basically, without job, ran for two games.
00:52So it wasn't as like they had a sweep and won each one of those games by 15 and 20 points,
00:56like we're looking at, just say, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are already down 0-1 in their series.
01:00I'm interested in the bounce-back point because, again, adversity is going to face them at one point.
01:04You're looking at the lines here at the FanDuel Sportsbook for the next game already.
01:0711-and-a-half as a favorite here for the home team, OKC.
01:11I'm interested to see what Denver does because make no mistake about it,
01:13they've won a championship before.
01:15Denver's not saying, whew, man, mission accomplished, Ben.
01:17Got game number one.
01:18Who cares about game number two?
01:19Send Jokic back, you know, home for him to get rested and ready.
01:22I need to see that first half of OKC.
01:24I'm expecting it to be explosive.
01:26If I'm thinking about a way already to bet that game, give me OKC minus the points in the first half.
01:31Let's see what they got.
