Well, they don't have Przingis because Przingis changes who they are with the five out stuff they can do on offense and the rim protection. We've covered a lot of that stuff. Yeah. And when they're fully formed, Boston feels like the default favorite on FanDuel as of today. Boston's plus 185 for the title. Oklahoma City is now at plus 185. Cleveland's still at plus 500.

I think that has more to do with Boston being in the East necessarily than who FanDuel thinks Cleveland is as a team. When it was at plus 700, I actually bet it because I was like, that just doesn't seem right. That just seems like a massive amount of value. Even if you're just going to hear so many people just look at Boston and go, well, they won it last year. Cleveland's still sort of newish.

Oklahoma City's younger. All the stuff that we've been talking about the last few weeks. But I kind of land on, I think Boston's the third best team in the NBA. Let's go through some of the game. There's score versus feel, which I talk about all the time. The score can be close, but how does the game feel?

It's 33-30 at the end of the first quarter, and it didn't feel like a three-point game at all. Boston took 22 threes in the first quarter. Paint scoring 18-zip. Oklahoma City. Boston took 36 threes at the half, most in any half in NBA history. 63 for the game, third highest total ever, 32%. And that shooting just completely fell apart for them.

So we could get into the variance part of it, a three here, three there. Boston gets the win. Everybody feels a little bit different. Okay, maybe, but I really want to get back to feel. Other than the third quarter stretch where Tatum got it going and Boston was attacking, considering how far away that they start,

It feels like Tatum will have moments like, all right, we need to be more aggressive, meaning just kind of looking around at his team. But other than that, there's just everything from Boston starts so far away in a game like this against a Thunder defense that is among the best, if not the best, in the NBA. Statistically, it's the best.

If the first action gets cut off, there's just a lot of ground to have to cover as the shot clock starts to check down. On the other side of Tatum is Jalen Brown, where I think whenever you look at some of the perimeter matchups defensively, like how many teams will have a couple perimeter guys that feel pretty good.
