00:00In terms of assessing what direction that series goes, what tilts the balance, in your opinion?
00:06So, yeah, I'm going to just say, you know, you're going to see the schedules and you're going to see the team name
00:11and you see a little number next to the team, which is their seed.
00:14I'm going to advise you to toss that number.
00:16The seeds, especially between two and seven, they don't matter.
00:20You know, Luka last year terrorized the Wolves, terrorized them.
00:24He took Rudy Gobert, who was polishing his fourth consecutive Defensive Player of the Year trophy,
00:29and he just undercut him totally.
00:31And that scar tissue is still there for the Wolves, even though he's playing on a completely different team.
00:37So I think he's going to come into this series looking to hunt.
00:40But the Lakers are a roster that is incomplete.
00:44There are advantages for the Wolves in this series, particularly the fact that Ant Edwards can just score like crazy.
00:50So this series, you want to say it's six versus three, I wish you luck, because this series is really tight in my view.
