00:00Talk about the series itself where the Pacers now getting a 12-to-1 price

00:04up from a 9-to-1 price.

00:05Is there a chance that you might bite a little bit on the Pacers

00:09due to this series and also the chance to get to a game number seven?

00:15No and no.

00:16I think this is over.

00:20I think the thing that I am liking, honestly, Donnie,

00:24is I'm liking this total just continuing to come down.

00:27Started at 224, down to 221-and-a-half.

00:32I think that is great.

00:33I want this to keep coming down.

00:35I wouldn't mind if I got OKC at seven.

00:39Here's why.

00:40I think this is – I talked about this, I think, with you guys for game five.

00:44I think this is a middle kind of game.

00:47I think Indiana's going to throw their first punch.

00:50It could be Oklahoma City.

00:51So, to me, I'm going to ride the early wave.

00:54Usually one team gets off to a really hot start.

00:57They're both made to go on runs.

00:59I'm going to let one team go on a run.

01:01I'm going to bet the other way plus the points.

01:03If it's Indiana, I'm going to let it come down.

01:06And I think that OKC is going to steal it out.

01:08I think there's a good chance, and I think in most games in the series,

01:11you're going to find yourselves, guys, a nice little middle

01:14where you can hit both bets.

01:17Yeah, that's exactly what we're always looking for there, Coach.

01:20But tell me it's not concerning.

01:22This is not the same OKC team on the road that plays at home.

01:29And the problem is, recency bias, we just saw what they did at home.

01:33They have not been that team on the road.

01:35They didn't cover their first eight road games, and it took a miracle for them to get game four.

01:40So aren't you a little bit worried and concerned here that the OKC team that shows up tonight

01:45is the same one we've got in all playoffs long?

01:48And that's why I like the middle, because at six and a half points, it's a three-possession game, Joe.

01:54And you know, you guys both know, you guys are sharp handicappers.

01:58That extra possession is a lot.

02:01It's a lot.

02:02So to me, if I could find a way to, like I said, let Oklahoma City throw that first punch early,

02:07especially Halliburton is compromised, let them jump out to, let's say, an eight, ten-point lead.

02:11Let's say I can get that thing out, say, I don't know, 14 and a half, 15 and a half,

02:15jump in on Indiana, watch T.J. McConnell come in with that second group, make a run.

02:20I still think Oklahoma City is going to win it.

02:22But if I get that thing down to a three, you know, two and a half, two, three-point game,

02:28I'm going to just jump on OKC and the money line, because I think they'll have enough to close it out.

02:32I just don't like that six and a half point early.

02:35That's why I think play the game live is a better way to do it.
