Transcript
- 0:06Welcome to Nate's daily wager. I ain't picking winners, but I
- 0:10am making wagers. Time to put my money where my
- 0:13mouth is. This is Nate Staley wager for
- 0:20May 8th, 2026. And that was a quite the roller
- 0:24coaster there. Looked like Lakers were gonna
- 0:27keep it close. They even took the lead for a
- 0:29bit and I was wondering, thinking, ohh, man, they're not
- 0:33gonna get blown out. Maybe they will keep this close.
- 0:36But then fourth quarter came and I think they just too old and
- 0:42reality set in. Thunder put the hammer down and
- 0:45they were a little Thunderstruck, if you will.
- 0:48Lakers that is. And at the end of the day,
- 0:51almost got it to 20. Thunder did what they needed to
- 0:54do, got the cover, got us the win, got us some money in the
- 0:57bank. So that's positive.
- 0:59That's what we needed on the plus side moving forward into
- 1:02the weekend. All right, so today it's Friday,
- 1:05looking at some games. We got San Antonio heading up to
- 1:09to Minnesota, taking other T Wolves.
- 1:11They are still favored. It's 4 1/2.
- 1:14And I'm really fighting myself and thinking that it's the T
- 1:18Wolves coming home. Place is going to be rocking.
- 1:21They're one one. Are they going to steal 1
- 1:24completely tonight or is the reality just the reality that
- 1:28the Spurs are the obviously superior team, especially given
- 1:33the last game and the blowout and just the aberration that was
- 1:37game one getting Ant back and now things are just going to
- 1:42regress to the mean and be what they are?
- 1:44I really want to take the T Wolves and so that's telling me
- 1:47go with the Spurs. So that's what I'm going to do.
- 1:49I'm going to lay the points even though they're on the road, but
- 1:52I know deep down they are the better team.
- 1:54So we're going to go. San Antonio -4 1/2 against the
- 1:59Minnesota Timberwolves in tonight's NBA Western Conference
- 2:03second round playoff basketball action.
- 2:06See anything better than that? Pound it.
- 2:07That's my pick and I'm sticking to it.
