Now with OKC equalizing last night and a minus 560 outright favorite to be crowned an NBA champion
00:08
and hoist that Larry O'Brien trophy, what is the updated projection from you?
00:14
You know what? I think you're trying to bait me into a switch. I'm not switching. Thunder in five.
00:22
The critical game will be game three. And for to me, for Indiana, obviously, that's why the spread
00:27
is so low, three and a half. If they don't get game three on Wednesday, I think this is going to roll.
00:33
Because to me, I just thought that they looked comfortable at Oklahoma City, even though I don't think
00:38
they played particularly great in spots in game number two. And obviously, game number one,
00:45
you saw them not take advantage of the turnover. And I think that's my concern with Indiana.
00:51
The turnovers and some of the passes, particularly out of Obi Toppin as a coach, I'm literally like,
00:58
oh, my Lord, what are we doing here at times? And that's a team that Oklahoma City will take
01:04
advantage of that. So to me, I still like Oklahoma City in five games.
01:11
If we are looking at the numbers here, just on to win the series here, I do think there could be a
01:15
little bit of an advantage here. The Pacers are plus 410 price. I do think, coach, like I'm against
01:20
the game five. I think it goes six, but I just think it's OKC. Could they win in a five? Yes.
01:24
I think OKC is definitely winning the series, whether it be six and seven, which brings up my
01:28
point here. OKC minus 550 right now on the price point to win the series. The Pacers at a plus 410
01:33
price 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
01:43
thunder price point. Because to me, coach, I don't see any way to be honest, even though we're sitting
01:47
here one to one with home court advantage going back to the Pacers, that the Pacers actually win
01:51
this series. Well, listen, if you have the money to put up the minus 550, I would go for it. I agree
01:57
with you with that sentiment. If you have enough cash to put up in front for a week, we can have
02:02
that. I would go ahead and do that. Because here's the thing. If the Thunder or win the Thunder, I think,
02:07
win game three, that 560 is going to move. So this is the best price point you're going to get
02:13
at minus 560 now. I agree with you. I don't think there's nothing that I saw in the first two games
02:20
that tells me that Indiana is going to win this series, right? Usually when you get to the, this
02:25
is what that's, you know, typical with the NBA, right? More times than not, 99 out of 100, the better
02:33
team is going to win a seven game series. It's different than when you get to a situation like
02:38
hockey, where you deal with a hot goalie, or you get to a couple of starting pitchers that can get
02:43
rolling in a series. Usually the cream over rises to the top. It's come down because of its 1-1.
02:49
So to me, if you have the money to take them now, take them now, because when they win game three,
02:54
that number is obviously going to move.
