where have the odds caught up from the performances we have
00:06
seen in the first 789 games of this season for all 30 clubs.
00:11
Here's one thing that seems to remain constant and shall
00:14
throughout the year. Boston Celtics are the best team in
00:17
basketball. Cleveland is one of the only unbeaten in the
00:20
Eastern Conference 8 and 0. A surprising and impressive start
00:24
to this year. Oklahoma City, the Western Conference
00:26
championship favorites. They're also undefeated. In my
00:30
estimation, Joe, everybody is playing for second best or
00:33
perhaps if you want to spin it another way, the ultimate
00:36
challenger and contender to the seas, whether out east or in
00:40
the NBA overall, Boston entered the year with a ridiculously
00:44
short price to win the NBA championship three to one
00:48
before a single basketball game was played after a seven and
00:51
one start a five and three against the spread number as a
00:54
favorite in all eight games. The price is already grown
00:57
shorter by half a buck to plus 250. And then it just feels
01:03
like we're going to be rinsing and repeating here a lot with
01:07
these teams, right? If listen folks, if it ain't broke, don't
01:10
fix it here. Celtics, Thunder, Knicks, Mavs, Timberwolves,
01:13
Nuggets, Suns, what do they all have in common? Yeah, we're
01:17
going to see them in the playoffs again. So they're all
01:20
going to be battling one another for a chance to win a
01:23
world championship. And again, it's a very long season, but
01:28
every one of those teams, the current makeup of them been
01:31
just as good as they were a year ago. Some teams got a
01:34
little better. Some teams lost a little depth. In fact, the
01:38
team that seems to be the most ridiculously overrated in that
01:41
list. Why are the Knicks in single digits like you don't
01:45
know the depth concerns with the Knicks are B had they do
01:48
last night against Houston? Uh like I don't know why we still
01:52
consider this team to be in that category with OKC and
01:56
Boston because as far as I'm concerned, they're not.
