00:00I mean, the actual game itself in the series is really not bettable unless you really want to take a shot that a lot of people don't want to do, Gilbert, because Oklahoma City is minus 750 to win the series.
00:11So if Indiana wins, you can get five to one on your money, risking 100 to win 530.
00:16But nobody wants to do that.
00:17In fact, the Thunder are minus 132 to win the series by more than two and a half games.
00:25I mean, that is just kind of crazy here.
00:27And the total amount of games is seemingly not believed to go more than five, over five and a half, plus 120.
00:34So unless all the odds makers have it wrong, this is going to be a quick series, Gilbert.
00:40It feels like it's going to be.
00:41And the Pacers have been getting written off all postseason, right?
00:44I think people didn't want to legitimize their run last year.
00:47But I think the biggest thing about Indiana is that since the calendar year flipped to 2025, they've been the second best team in the league behind only the Thunder.
00:54And they've been really good on the road during these playoffs as well.
00:57So I said it on Monday, and I'll say it again now.
01:00I think they are able to steal a game.
01:01I don't know if it's game one, but I think they'll extend the series to six games.
01:04I still think the Thunder are going to win the series, but I don't think it's going to be as easy as people think it's going to be.
01:09I think Rick Carlisle is a genius.
01:11And I think that the Pacers are a very deep team, and they'll find ways to win.
01:14They've been hot throughout the playoffs, and I don't think that necessarily slows down.
01:17Even though the Thunder do have a very tough defense that will make life difficult for Indiana.
01:21They just have a lot of guys who are consistent and relentless in their pursuit of getting to the bucket and figuring it out and figuring ways to score.
