I don't feel good about it, but they just feel... A lot of times, it has felt at times like they were dead, but then they continue to just... They continue to just like become this like zombie version of themselves and they just win basketball games. So I don't know. I'm just not betting against that whole infrastructure that they have in Golden State.

They're good. That's a good basketball team. Yeah. Got a good five guys. Got a good five guys. That's right. So recording before Friday night's game between the Warriors and Rockets, the winner of that series will meet the Minnesota Timberwolves, who beat the Lakers in five.

How much of the Wolves' domination in round one was the specific matchup with the Lakers versus the Wolves maybe being a lot better than people thought coming into the playoffs?

Yeah, that's a very normal playoff rotation, which a lot of these teams don't have. It's just funny to watch some of these teams that just don't. They have nobody that they can go to. And the Lakers were that way. And they had one fastball. And the Wolves showed pretty quickly that they knew how to hit the fastball. And it was over. Like, that's over. Like, what do you do?

Like, we'll just try it again. You know, let's try it more is what JJ tried to do, you know, in the last couple games. Like, there was nothing that they could do just because they could not match up with them. And so I do wonder... what it looks like in round two with a team that could perhaps match up with them a little bit better and has more than really four or five guys that they trust.

So, yeah, I do wonder. I do think a lot of it was matchup specific for them. I do think the Wolves are very good and they showed, I think they had like the fourth best net rating in the league this season, but I don't know. They also have inconsistencies. And they also had just moments down the stretch of games in the regular season where they would just completely let go of the rope.

And so I'm curious to see them play a team that's a little bit more prepared and has a little bit more going in their favor. Like a center? Like plays a team with a center? Plays a team that plays a guy that plays the position of center. Yeah. It would be nice to see them play a team like that. What would you be more interested in watching?
