00:00minus 650 outright for the thunder to hoist that larry o'brien trophy again we are tied at a game

00:07of peace oklahoma city is not up to oh taking advantage of starting this series in the opening

00:13two games on its home floor and yet drs in the past 48 hours what was a minus 500 price after

00:21the thunder one game number two is now minus 650 entering game three on this game day wednesday

00:28it should be that way because i don't think we're looking at that price point and saying like i don't

00:31want to bet it well i mean it's high at minus 650 but we keep telling you here on the early line

00:36the oklahoma city thunder going to win this series so i guess price point at this point juice doesn't

00:41matter well it does matter because how much you will lay out was plus 650 and we continuously told

00:45you the thunder going to win the series a couple dollars down is a great lottery ticket on the back

00:49end laying 650 to win 100 isn't that lottery ticket and yes some things can go wrong but i still don't

00:56think outside of devastating injuries the pacers are going to win the series and that's not to say

01:01that we can't get an extension of the series and maybe a better price down the line like hey i think

01:05the thunder win this series but you know what would love to see the thunder lose game number three and

01:10that price dropped like a rock in half because then the pacers would have home court advantage

01:14and the series lead in their back pocket and who says they can't win game number four to make that

01:18lead even more insurmountable for okc but just looking at the price points right now before you

01:23head in to game number three it should be minus 650 for okc they're the better team they're favored

01:29in every single game so far the first two games by double digits this game sitting at five we'll see

01:34where it gets by game time they're supposed to be in command in the driver's seat even though it's

01:38still one to one as we head back at home court advantage again it's still in the pacers court

01:42in drs as we have kind of laid out again a small disparity but just ever so slightly in terms of what

01:51the numbers are telling us and how the odds makers expect the remainder of this nba finals to play

01:57out the thunderland a game and a half in the series spread now has the hefty chalk at minus 170 again for

02:04okc to cash that ticket they have to win the nba championship in at most six games but even doing

02:12that in six at minus 170 would be a little bit different than what we expect for the overall duration

02:18of this championship set five games okc to rattle off four consecutive wins is plus 152 now indiana

02:27can also win the nba championship in a gentleman sweep fashion as well but okc to do so in that

02:34gentleman sweep is plus 172 it is the most likely outcome by a large large difference drs in terms of

02:43how short that price is every place on the thunder to win the nba championship in five six or seven

02:50games three to one or shorter the shortest and most likely option for indiana is the pacers in six on

02:59their home floor in indy and plus 10 40 so entering this series donnie we debated all right the thunder

03:07more than likely going to be crowned an nba champ but how competitive could indiana be and we both

03:14hoped for six games well we're tied at a game apiece entering game three with a change of destination

03:21tonight how do you feel about the nba finals and how many games we see now yeah still six for me it's

03:27going to be six you know five and said okay maybe they could get that one game on their home court they're

03:31going to get one of these games over the next two and the key is determining which game is it because

03:35i would love to see the pacers get game number three because i just think from a public perspective

03:40we would enjoy that much more than okc getting game three even if the pacers got game number four

03:44and it was still a best of three just the optics of the series would really shift on a dime if you saw

03:49the pacers come away with a victory tonight as five point underdogs but for me now i always thought

03:54that the pacers would get one game in their own building wasn't sure if they'd steal one game in okc's

03:59building which meant we probably go five since they stole a game in okc they're going to win a game

04:04in indiana for me so there will be a game number six i think it ends in six and i do think it's okc in

04:10indiana for me so there will be a game number six clenching on the pacers home court now

04:12you
