00:00NDRS starting this home stretch of the NBA campaign. Everybody out west looking

00:05up at the Oklahoma City Thunder. Everybody out east looking up at the

00:10Cleveland Cavaliers and everybody else except for the Boston Celtics looking up

00:14at the Seas, the reigning NBA champs in the two spots in the Eastern Conference

00:20standings. Right now where things stand in the odds board everybody looking up

00:25to the Thunder in the Western Conference and in the Eastern Conference it's still

00:29the Celtics as a minus money favorite. We have now at the All-Star break as the

00:34markets have reset it may be some more investment for this stretch run when we

00:39return from the All-Star break. Some more wagers into the Celtics and the Thunder.

00:45Odds on favorites in minus money to win their respective conference crown. For

00:50the Celtics to see the Thunder in the NBA Finals of course that's the most

00:54likely matchup and the shortest price at plus 220. So Donnie buy or sell the

01:00NBA Finals matchup will indeed be the Celtics versus the Thunder. I'm selling

01:05it because we're still too early to determine who's gonna be the best team

01:08by the time we have what late May and the finals start to begin in early June.

01:12So for me I will sell it. Now that doesn't say that the Boston Celtics I

01:15don't think are going to get to the finals or Oklahoma City because if

01:18you're just saying right now and the question is asking the two best teams in

01:21the NBA forget about record-wise you probably just go pedigree would be these

01:25two teams and they should match up in the final. But as we said nothing is a

01:29given here which includes the Boston Celtics probably not being the number

01:32one overall seed in the Eastern Conference why they're five and a half

01:34games back against a quality Cleveland Cavaliers team. So then Boston will have

01:38to go on the road at least let's just say for the Eastern Conference Finals to

01:42make it to the NBA Finals. Then you're talking about the Oklahoma City Thunder

01:45who I love are fantastic and yes right now far and away been the best team of

01:49the Western Conference but you are also mixing in teams like the Denver Nuggets

01:53the Los Angeles Lakers the LA Clippers you might say wait a minute where's the

01:57pedigree on those teams. What I'm saying is Oklahoma City is not like hey they're

02:01the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL. Every year they play in the Western Conference

02:04Finals and get to the finals here. They haven't done that yet. So until they

02:07until they get to that mountaintop there's still going to be questions that

02:11need to be asked. It's easy to say both of these teams will make it but I'm

02:14gonna sell that. Still too much basketball game left to play and a lot of

02:17other teams are going to factor in here.
