00:00
All right, let's look at the West
00:02
Yes, like the Cavs the Thunder have a good lead on that one seed 37 and 8 6 games up on the Houston Rockets
00:10
Who are now to to Houston Memphis Denver Lakers Clippers?
00:14
Would be in the playoffs today play in mini Phoenix Dallas Sacra tomato
00:19
With Golden State on the outside right now followed by San Antonio Portland, etc
00:25
Okay, so I get some level right now I'm still not buying the Lakers and Clippers I have more
00:33
faith in
00:35
Dallas even with Luka Kyrie and clay and the sides they have in the block like they did last year
00:43
They went on a run to the final right? So I have more they have had no Luka for a while
00:47
No Kyrie for a while. They got Kyrie back. But to me, they're dangerous as a play in team and I think
00:54
Minnesota is still dangerous with their talent and depth and coaching and everything else
01:00
I'm not buying the Suns and
01:03
I'm not buying the Kings even though they played really well of late when you're talking about our we're gonna trade
01:10
Darren Fox at the deadline to me that season over. Okay. Bye
01:15
Season over now
01:16
you're gonna tell me they're gonna send someone to the rescue on a white horse to make them go from that last spot in a
01:23
play-in to
01:24
Validity. I'm not buying it
01:26
The four teams at the top of the West are the four teams that are gonna play in my opinion with only one outsider
01:33
It's either Dallas or many only one outsider will have a shot to
01:38
Dispose of one of those four Oak City, Houston, Memphis and the Denver Nuggets are the four. That's it
01:46
They're the best teams and they're not changing it unless there's injuries
01:50
Bad injury could ruin one of those four faster than you could spit. I still think for my money
01:57
It's the Thunder and Rockets
02:00
They are that good. They are that good. This is not some kind of facade
02:05
This is no joke. They're that good and you saw some of it last night at the Boston Garden
02:11
That's also why I wanted to show you this today to go a piggyback that and that's the odds to win the title
02:17
And we talked about Houston they're second in the West
02:21
Seems like they've beaten, you know, they've beaten the Celtics the Cavs twice just in the last week alone
02:26
Yet the Rockets are still
02:28
Forty to one to win the title way down there on that list
02:33
Celtics and Thunder now both plus 240 I
02:37
Mean and and okay, so I gotta get this right. It's it's sideways. It's going Boston. Yeah Thunder
02:44
Cleveland Denver
02:46
Knicks and then who is that Dallas?
02:49
Yes, and then box go. I mean, this is insanity. These numbers are
02:55
Insanity, you cannot leave the Rockets at 40 to 1 because I'm telling you right now
03:00
Go and place a bet right now on them at 40 to 1 if for some reason
03:06
If this is Duke against this team into the finals and you hit that ticket, you're gonna be rich
03:12
40 to 1 like they are saying they have no shot at all. Meanwhile last night
03:17
They just went and had sex with the Celtics in Boston
03:20
Okay, so remember last night when you go place that bet because they got a shot now
03:28
I'll tell you who doesn't have a shot is the Golden State Warriors the magic the Lakers all those teams their bums
03:35
They're not the Suns their bums and I'll tell you what I'm gonna add to it if Butler goes to the Suns
03:41
I say they even have a less of a chance than they had today before they got him
03:45
They had a better chance right now at 420 in the east than if they add that lymphoma to the roster
