00:00we're talking about the nba finals game five tonight in oak city and uh it's down to three

00:07games baby somebody's got to win two of them somebody's got to win two of them uh series

00:13odds for you now that it's two two and you would think uh you think it's like three one uh oklahoma

00:19city with this number minus 520 plus four hundy for the pacers uh if you think that they can win

00:27them both i'll win two out of three excuse me uh so that's your numbers for the series itself

00:33uh and sga is still the big favorite for the uh nba finals mvp uh on that list so they have to

00:41expect him to be the guy if we follow this it's over okay it's over and then they're gonna win

00:48tonight they're gonna win game seven and he's gonna win the mvp if you follow uh everything

00:53the sports books tell you uh it's like listening to your girlfriend i mean honestly like after a

00:59while you're gonna be like okay uh yeah i don't think so like so i'm into this on a per game basis

01:07on a per bet basis right i'm not crowning anybody yet i want to see what happens tonight i really do

01:14uh i'm playing ball i got a game and then i'm gonna go watch that game i'm looking forward to it

01:20and i want to see who shows up and mans up tonight i mean this stuff's for real now it's for keeps

01:27so i i listen obviously i think that the the reason that they're favored is because they won

01:36uh frankly 68 games in a regular season and they were so heavily favored in every series they played

01:43in including denver and they've made it to this point and they're still the best team in the nba

01:50and people just don't believe that the pacers can beat them but they have beaten them and they've

01:57given them nightmares as i've already said in almost every game except game two so i just think people

02:04are crazy if you don't you know why not put a piece on that four to one why not like what do you have

02:13to lose other than you know a little bit of a chump change i mean honestly like you know i got

02:20marinci betting seven hundred dollars on some soccer game nobody's ever heard of in their life and you're

02:25worried about putting a c note down at four to one on the pacers why not i mean listen game one is all

02:32i have to say they can do it again tonight you never know come down to a last second shot or overtime

02:38anything's possible i think if uh if it goes seven i'm obviously uh on the thunder but that doesn't

02:46mean they're gonna cover like i'm not taking them tonight to cover and i haven't missed a spread yet

02:53in the nba finals that's it i hit all four games so let's see what happens before we start crowning

03:01them well as far as tonight goes we've mentioned it a few times uh still settling right in at nine

03:08and a half minus nine and a half for the thunder at home total 224 and a half uh you've only had i

03:17guess we've had three of these four games to the under right scotty only one over in the first four

03:22games of this series yeah i actually feel like it's the same thing along those lines tonight i just don't

03:29believe uh for for my money they both play so well defensively i think oak city might be a uh a head

03:37better you know if i'm you know if the horses are at the photo finish by a nose i think it's oak city

03:44but they're both you know giving each other problems which tends to in my view lead to unders like you

03:52know they just they're playing d on both ends both teams the pacers press the whole you know floor

03:58and i think uh oak city's more of a clamped down half court defense

04:03you
