I think the Spurs line was plus 210 before game one.

And I said that on my show in our series preview.

I'm like, that's the value side of this because this is very much a coin flip type of series.

And you're getting two to one odds on a team.

And like Victor Wiminyama, I don't know, like there's a pathway for Shea.

to be the best player in the series by just hitting a bunch of clutch shots.

Like, okay, three or four of the games are close and he just hits a bunch of these clutch shots and that puts him over the top.

But like,

there is a chasm between those two players as like two way impact winning basketball players.

Like when we looked like the best player on the floor by a mile last night.

And it wasn't like, even if Shay would have made a few more of his jumpers, when he's just better, like he's just better at basketball.

And so they, they have the best player.

They have physical advantages all over the court.

an underrated part of this is like physical advantages to me matter more at home.

Like, cause when you're at home and you're getting fed by that crowd and there's all that youthful exuberance and all that energy, it's like a buzzsaw and them just being the bigger, stronger, more athletic team with three opportunities at home to get the three more wins that they need.

I just, I just think this, the Spurs have a clear edge here.

I said six before the series.

What I thought would happen is the Spurs would get game one.

I believe even beyond any sort of physical advantage stuff, which has actually given me a little bit more confidence in them, I just thought there would be an adjustment period.

Going from playing the Suns and the Lakers, the gap in defensive personnel at every position group between those two teams and the Spurs is like a chasm.
