whatever it may be. At the end of the day, we're down to four teams with two very intriguing matchups where the trip to the finals are on the line. And by the way, we say that these are intriguing and not a potential finals matchup is intriguing because to me, doesn't this feel like Rams Seahawks all over again, NFC title game? Oh, 100%. Whoever wins between the Spurs and Thunder, they're winning it all. So from a futures perspective, that's how I would bet this thing. I would look at either the Spurs or the Thunder right now if you like either of them, because I don't see any scenario. I guess the Knicks did have the Spurs number in the NBA Cup. so maybe there's something there, but I think San Antonio might be a totally different team right now compared to who they were then. Yeah, I think the Knicks would say the same thing, but, you know, yeah, seven-game series versus one game. A little bit different story. No, it is, it is. But yeah, it does feel inevitable that the winner is coming out of the Western side of thing. So that's where we stand right now. San Antonio in Oklahoma City game one. Thunder minus six and a half. Game one for the Cavs and Knicks on Tuesday. New York minus seven and a half. Your total, by the way, in Spurs and Thunder, 221 and a hook. Your total in Cavs Nix, 216 and a half, which is interesting because it opened 217.5 with the Spurs and Thunder. That's been bent up to 21.5 and then the Knicks and the

2:12.8

Yeah, it was 214 over at Caesars. Okay.

2:18.4

So a little bit of movement there upward, expecting a lot of points.

2:22.1

Yep.

2:22.5

Let's begin with the Spurs and the Thunder, though, Kelly.

2:25.6

Series price right now.

2:27.4

Thunder minus 260, San Antonio's plus 210.

2:30.6

Help me make sense of that when you go back in the regular season and you look.
