you take him off the floor and all of a sudden San Antonio is not just bigger.

They're way bigger.

They're way bigger.

And so what scares me is like the Spurs didn't shoot well.

They were 33% from, I think they were 13 for 33 from three.

And I can't remember the exact number, but they were right around 30, 33% from three in this game.

And they don't need to make threes to win this matchup.

They just don't.

Because they can get all these buckets on the interior with their guards bullying and with Victor Wim and Yama on these inside seals.

And again, does Thunder have advantages that they can try to play with a little bit?

Like, I do think we'll see Chet Holmgren move over and guard Wemby for the most part the rest of the series because Alex Caruso and J-Dub just can't.

But like, from the tape after game one, I was like, man, I feel like the Spurs actually have more things they can do better than the Thunder can in this matchup.

Yeah, I was really shocked by that, to be honest, when I saw the line before the series, because I thought it was fair to favor the Thunder.

I picked the Spurs to win the series, to be clear, from the start.

But I did think that the Thunder obviously were like a 45 to 55 type of coin flip leaning slightly towards San Antonio, where I thought they had a good chance to win.

I'm no professional handicapper, but I would have probably put it around like minus 150, maybe minus 130 to start the series.

And so to me, now that the Spurs have gotten to have one game one, I think it makes perfect sense for the Spurs to be a slight favorite.

So in that sense, I would argue that there is value on the San Antonio side.

Not as much value as there was before the series.
