00:00
Boston entered the NBA finals this season as a -225 favorite to win their 18th Larry O'Brien
00:07
trophy in franchise history. Now a number that we were often accustomed to seeing for Boston
00:13
throughout this playoff run. A four-digit price with a minus in front to win a series. Now just
00:20
two wins away from number 18, their 18th NBA championship at -1000. Boston to cover,
00:29
two and a half games is -152. And now the shortest price in terms of how many games this series goes
00:38
is five. A gentleman's sweep once again for the Celtics. That would be three of their four
00:43
postseason series wrapped up in only five games with the other one being a clean sweep in four.
00:50
Will it be easy once again for the C's? I mean it looks like it. It really does. And also if
00:57
you're looking at today, if you would have told me before the series started and had no idea how
01:01
the first two games played out, I knew the final scores but didn't know who was doing what, if
01:05
there's any injuries possible, and you told me, "Hey by the way, Celtics are going to go 2-0
01:09
before they head back to Dallas." Series is a wrap. And that's usually what it is. The odds
01:12
are going to say that. And also, this weren't two upsets here to start the series. Dallas is not the
01:17
better basketball team than Boston. Boston has the lead. So game number three, a lot is going to be
01:22
on the line. But just looking at those price points and numbers, it's pretty apparent. Like
01:26
Dallas is a good team. Minus $1,000 for the Boston Celtics. You say, "Oh man, that's a really steep
01:31
price." But you know what I'm also saying at the same time, Ben? I don't want to jump in on plus
01:35
$660 on the Dallas Mavericks. Man, it's an unbelievable price because of what I've seen.
01:39
And also, I don't know what's going on with Luka Doncic. And I say this because we've seen this
01:44
pop up in the playoffs here. Playing well, playing well, oh no, multiple injuries. We don't know if
01:48
he's playing tonight. Downgrade on game day. Sooner than later, this is going to catch up with
01:52
you. And maybe he leaves midway through game number three. I don't know the severity of the
01:56
injuries. I can only go with what Dallas is telling us. Hey, if this was the regular season,
02:00
he'd be sitting out some basketball games. That's tough to be down 0-2 and your best player is
02:04
dinged up. What more can he give you than 30-point triple doubles? And it's not even enough to win.
02:09
What happens if he gives you, Ben, an average game? I mean, I don't think it's going to be a
02:14
sweep. It does look like it's going to be five games. But we'll know a lot more once game number
02:18
three ends. Because if the Celtics get a victory, any way, shape, or form, playing well or not
02:22
playing well, it's over at that point. Then you turn and say, well, what's Luka going to offer us
02:26
for the final four games if there are a final four games, let alone final two games left in the series?
