00:00let's fast forward let's do the wcc tournament bracket that we have seen in college hoops let's

00:06get the cleveland cavaliers in the boston celtics the eastern conference finals finals matchup

00:11that we know is going to happen to that stage boston does lead three to one over orlando a

00:18chance to clinch inside td garden tonight the celtics the reigning nba champions in 11 and a

00:23half point favorite the cavaliers are the number one seed in the eastern conference they sweep

00:28miami in four games now the knicks and the pacers both maintain a 3-1 series advantage as well

00:35they've looked pretty good so far in this opening round set each an opportunity on this tuesday night

00:41to win their opening round playoff series as well the knicks in for a dogfight against the detroit

00:47pistons without dame lillard what else does milwaukee have in store we find out in indianapolis

00:54early 6 p.m eastern time but donnie again you look at the odds even the knicks who have looked

01:01pretty stout against the detroit pistons are 13 to 1 even though the pacers are probably going to

01:07quickly handle business against yannis in the box they are 21 to 1 it's the top two teams it's been

01:14the top two teams since january let's get to the eastern conference finals already exactly and also

01:20like we're not poo pooing the season here that the knicks and the pacers have like they're two pretty

01:24good teams quality opponents but we are playing paint by numbers here in the east we expected the

01:29new york knicks to beat the pistons i expected the pacers to down the milwaukee bucks which then

01:34leaves us with the celtics and the cavaliers and based on the odds market we are watching cleveland

01:39absolutely filet miami but those lines really aren't changing all that much because we don't care as

01:45long as these two teams match up and that's the handicap going against each because we understand

01:50cleveland's going to have home court advantage we've always known that it's not like hey with

01:53ping pong balls go their way in the eastern conference finals maybe the southings get it

01:57and we'll price them a correlate no if they meet up there it's cleveland with home court advantage and

02:01it still doesn't matter the odds market cleveland just absolutely laid waste to the miami heat it

02:05doesn't matter in the odds market because our only focus is how the two teams match up when they get

02:11there and if both of those two teams are healthy at that time no surprise in the east right now it's

02:16exactly where we should be but i do think we'll get some entertainment out of the

02:19next round in the nba playoffs in the eastern conference because we do have some formidable

02:23teams still left there and the pacers and the knicks are not getting swept by each one of those

02:28teams so we'll have fun watching it at least until we get ourselves cavaliers match up
