As we near the trade deadline, as we near the all-star break, past the halfway point of this NBA season,
00:07
keep an eye on those NBA championship odds.
00:10
The Boston Celtics, a very short favorite in the Eastern Conference,
00:14
and win their second consecutive Larry O'Brien Trophy in the offseason and the preseason early this year as well.
00:22
And they've been good. They're 32-15. They've got the second-best record in the Eastern Conference,
00:28
third-best overall win percentage in the NBA, or fourth-best win percentage overall in the NBA.
00:34
But it's the Oklahoma City Thunder making that charge with the NBA's best record right now, 37-8,
00:41
nearly catching Boston for the first time in those NBA title odds.
00:46
Only 10 cents separates the Seas and the Thunder.
00:50
Yeah, the one thing that you have to understand is motivation for the Boston Celtics.
00:54
Now, should they give their effort night-to-night the best they absolutely can?
00:57
I'm sure they're trying to do that, but that mental edge might not be there.
01:00
You're coming off a championship season, and all you're looking forward to is, can we repeat?
01:04
So those games in December, in January, in February, sure, you're playing well,
01:08
but you're not mentally locked in yet, which shows them, Ben, over the last 10 games.
01:11
They're 5-5, and they're in second place in the Eastern Conference.
01:15
We can see them sort of lock in, let's just say, in late February and March to get that playoff ramped up,
01:20
but it doesn't surprise me. Well, it's kind of interesting.
01:22
Boston's 32-15. With that roster, they should absolutely have a better record.
01:26
Yes, but understand, you're still human beings at this point.
01:29
Your goal now is like, boy, we won that ship. Let's get there healthy and win it again
01:33
and lock in when the playoffs start. No surprise that the Boston Celtics are having a good season,
01:37
not a fantastic season, compared to the records of the Cavaliers and the Thunder.
