00:00As far as the Oklahoma City Thunder and Pacers are concerned, Scott,
00:04the number is just so big that, you know,
00:08I think the Pacers can hang with them, Scott.
00:11Like, I'm not ready to say they're going to beat them outright,
00:14but I don't think the Oklahoma City Thunder are just going to, like,
00:17roll through them.
00:18Like, put it this way.
00:19I think the Pacers can win.
00:20How many games do you think the Pacers can win, Scott?
00:22Like, I think they can win two, right?
00:24I think they can win two.
00:25I think they can even potentially take this thing to seven, right?
00:28I don't think they're going to win on the road.
00:30I think it'll be a home court dominant series, but, man, it's a big number.
00:36And I'll load up the price right now and see what the handicap is to get, like,
00:39the Pacers plus two and a half games in the series because that's what I'm
00:43looking at, Scott.
00:44I think the Pacers can hang with them, actually.
00:47So, yeah, I don't.
00:50You know, I think the Thunder are just flat out better than them.
00:53They're better defensively.
00:55I think that, you know, they're both tough at home.
00:58There's no doubt.
00:59I think the Thunder are 8-1 at home.
01:02And the one game they lost was on that last-second shot from Gordon of the Nuggets.
01:08And I think that their defense is incredible.
01:13Their transition game is incredible.
01:16Look, I don't deny the Pacers are good.
01:19I just find that they're not on that level.
01:21I thought the Pacers were the best team in the East before the playoffs started.
01:27I liked them.
01:28I liked them over to Celtics.
01:30I liked them over to Cavs.
01:31I liked them over to Knicks.
01:32It didn't matter who they played.
01:33I liked the Pacers.
01:34I thought they were playoff-ready, playoff-built.
01:37But I think this team they're playing is a different beast altogether, that they're one
01:41of these teams that are historic.
01:43They're a historic team, and they blow people out.
01:45They kick people's ass.
01:47In that building of theirs, they win by, I think their point differential is 24.
01:51That's crazy.
01:52But they don't win on the road.
01:53I'll give you that.
01:54They don't cover on the road.
01:55No, but you know what?
01:56They win on the road.
01:57And we've seen them.
01:58They have the same pattern all the time, right?
02:00They lost the one game at home, as you stated.
02:02But let's just say, they don't lose at home.
02:04They kill you at home.
02:06They go to your building.
02:08You can get them in the first night, and then they'll win the next game.
02:11Like, they basically split on the road, and then they win it.
02:13They win it home, which is a winning formula.
02:16You add it all up.
02:17But as you stated, Scott, it's pretty ridiculously stupid what their record is right now on the season.
02:23Like, if this was the Golden State Warriors and Curry or if it was LeBron and Luka, you know what I'm saying?
02:29Or if the Knicks, imagine if the Knicks were like 84 and 16, Scott, now, or whatever the hell it is.
02:34You know what I mean?
02:34Yeah.
02:35People would be like, oh, this is one of the greatest teams of all time.
02:38Oklahoma City really are having one of the best seasons of all time.
02:41Like, they don't lose games, bro.
02:43Like, they just don't lose.
02:44Like, it's insane, their record.
02:46Like, it's literally like 84 and 16 now.
02:49I think they're going to win 4-7, but I got the Pacers here, Scott, at plus two and a half games, minus 110.
02:55So, from a betting perspective, that's what I'm looking at right now.
02:59So, you got them at plus two and a half games at minus 110.
03:04Yeah.
03:04So, the Oklahoma City Thunder of minus two and a half games is minus 130.
03:08So, they would have to win the series in five games, a sweep or five games to win that bet.
03:13Like, they're big numbers.
03:15Like, they're heavy favorites.
03:17Like, man, you get value with the Pacers.
03:19If they win the – like, this is just for me.
03:22If they win both home games, two, they'll do exactly what you just said.
03:26They'll win game three or four, which will probably be game four.
03:30And then they'll go home and win game five, and it'll be over.
03:33Yeah.
03:33Kind of – you're right.
03:34It kind of – kind of the pattern there.
03:37The Pacers are going to – if the Pacers can steal one on the road, which I don't think they will.
03:42This isn't MSG.
03:43It's weird.
03:44Like, I mean, you figure, oh, MSG would be harder to play at Oklahoma City.
03:46You know it, Scott.
03:47They're nuts at Oklahoma City.
03:48It's like a college atmosphere in that building.
03:50Yeah.
03:50Like, it's just supercharged.
03:52It's a different type of environment.
03:55Very difficult to beat them there.
03:56Yeah.
