00:00Because of the injury to Steph Curry,
00:02Minnesota is greater than a $2 favorite to win this series outright.
00:07In fact, the price on the T-Wolves is stronger now,
00:10despite being in an 0-1 hole than it was for Minnesota,
00:13entering game number one with home floor advantage.
00:16And let's understand this.
00:17The positives aren't that many positives for the Golden State Warriors.
00:20You lose Steph Curry, you're probably the anticipation of you winning the series.
00:23Drops precipitously.
00:24But also understand this.
00:26This wasn't Steph Curry pulling up lame with two minutes to go in the fourth quarter
00:29where the Golden State Warriors had an 11-point lead.
00:31This was, oh my goodness, 13 minutes of the game.
00:33We don't have Steph anymore.
00:35How can we do this?
00:36Let's regroup for game number two because game number one is gone.
00:38They won that game by double digits without Steph Curry.
00:41I'm not saying this is a good sound like, hey, this team can galvanize
00:43because we do see, again, adrenaline-type games.
00:46The other team doesn't quite know how we're going to play.
00:49We're going to be energized, release this one.
00:50Let's see what happens.
00:51Now, granted, you do have a double-digit favorite here for the Minnesota Timberwolves,
00:54and rightfully so.
00:55But I just want to bring up that point was, you know,
00:57this wasn't a game plan thing where Steph sat out before the first tip.
01:01They had a game plan going in, executed it immediately here.
01:03Steph was having a very good 13 minutes in that point, then gets injured,
01:06and they built the lead in the third quarter,
01:08which was impressive and tough enough for that double-digit win.
01:11I'm not saying the Warriors can't win this series.
01:14But boy, oh boy, if you're just betting and saying,
01:16I'm going to take the Warriors here, you're just being contrarian.
01:20The best player down on a series where technically you're not the better team,
01:23good luck with that.
