00:00Now with OKC equalizing last night and a minus 560 outright favorite to be crowned an NBA champion

00:08and hoist that Larry O'Brien trophy, what is the updated projection from you?

00:14You know what? I think you're trying to bait me into a switch. I'm not switching. Thunder in five.

00:22The critical game will be game three. And for to me, for Indiana, obviously, that's why the spread

00:27is so low, three and a half. If they don't get game three on Wednesday, I think this is going to roll.

00:33Because to me, I just thought that they looked comfortable at Oklahoma City, even though I don't think

00:38they played particularly great in spots in game number two. And obviously, game number one,

00:45you saw them not take advantage of the turnover. And I think that's my concern with Indiana.

00:51The turnovers and some of the passes, particularly out of Obi Toppin as a coach, I'm literally like,

00:58oh, my Lord, what are we doing here at times? And that's a team that Oklahoma City will take

01:04advantage of that. So to me, I still like Oklahoma City in five games.

01:11If we are looking at the numbers here, just on to win the series here, I do think there could be a

01:15little bit of an advantage here. The Pacers are plus 410 price. I do think, coach, like I'm against

01:20the game five. I think it goes six, but I just think it's OKC. Could they win in a five? Yes.

01:24I think OKC is definitely winning the series, whether it be six and seven, which brings up my

01:28point here. OKC minus 550 right now on the price point to win the series. The Pacers at a plus 410

01:33price to me. And again, it's hard for the betting public to say, well, I'm going to put down 10 or

01:38$20 on a minus 550. What am I actually getting back? But I think there's a lot of value in that

01:43thunder price point. Because to me, coach, I don't see any way to be honest, even though we're sitting

01:47here one to one with home court advantage going back to the Pacers, that the Pacers actually win

01:51this series. Well, listen, if you have the money to put up the minus 550, I would go for it. I agree

01:57with you with that sentiment. If you have enough cash to put up in front for a week, we can have

02:02that. I would go ahead and do that. Because here's the thing. If the Thunder or win the Thunder, I think,

02:07win game three, that 560 is going to move. So this is the best price point you're going to get

02:13at minus 560 now. I agree with you. I don't think there's nothing that I saw in the first two games

02:20that tells me that Indiana is going to win this series, right? Usually when you get to the, this

02:25is what that's, you know, typical with the NBA, right? More times than not, 99 out of 100, the better

02:33team is going to win a seven game series. It's different than when you get to a situation like

02:38hockey, where you deal with a hot goalie, or you get to a couple of starting pitchers that can get

02:43rolling in a series. Usually the cream over rises to the top. It's come down because of its 1-1.

02:49So to me, if you have the money to take them now, take them now, because when they win game three,

02:54that number is obviously going to move.
