00:03 Okay, so let's preview games tonight.
00:05 We got a really good one to start with, by the way.
00:06 Maybe three good ones here, but I know we got one really good one.
00:10 That's the Clippers and Thunder.
00:12 This is a potential Western Conference Finals preview.
00:14 Again, not trying to insult Denver or anybody else.
00:18 OKC's had a great year.
00:19 They're two point favorites tonight over the Clippers, total of 236.5.
00:25 The other thing with a game like this, Gilbert, is you'll have to catch me up
00:27 here on the injury report with these two teams, because that's always the story
00:30 with the Clippers.
00:32 That's very true, and I think, you know, we talked about how long All-Star break
00:36 is.
00:36 They're a team that definitely should have been able to benefit from having a
00:40 week without playing any games, so that'll be good.
00:42 The last time these two teams met, the Clippers did a really good job of
00:46 limiting Shea Gilgis-Alexander, so I'm sure that'll be fresh on his mind.
00:49 He'll look to bounce back against his former team that traded him away in that
00:53 Paul George deal.
00:54 So I do think it's going to be a close game, as the spread would indicate, but
00:59 I do kind of lean towards the Clippers in this one.
01:01 They'll benefit from having that All-Star break, and it seems like they kind of
01:05 have the Thunders number, at least the last matchup they had, and I think that
01:09 you'll see that veteran savvy that they have go in their advantage as they take
01:14 on a younger Thunder team, who seemed like they didn't know what to do the
01:17 last time these two teams met.
