00:00this year really all throughout the celtics expected to be there once again but in the last
00:05two to three weeks we have seen the odds flip where the celtics are no longer the nba championship
00:11favorites despite still being that minus money favorite to win the eastern conference crown
00:16the team in front of boston that's the oklahoma city thunder at a plus 180 number only a dime
00:22though donnie that's it just 10 cents of difference between okc and boston who would
00:29you set as the nba finals favorite entering the postseason yeah it's still gonna be okc like
00:35even though we don't have the postseason pedigree to lean back on which the celtics do last year
00:40world champions this year coming back with maybe even a stronger team just biding their time to get
00:45into the playoffs it wasn't as if they had the sixth seed in the east like we just didn't care
00:49like they finished second overall to a really good cleveland cavaliers team so i still think okc at plus
00:54180 would be my wager as opposed to taking the boston celtics but how about getting closer and
00:59closer and closer and even by 10 cents today ben the cavaliers were hovering at that five to one
01:03price for a long time now plus 490 at the fan duel sports book and it's clear there are a top three
01:09in the nba the one interesting thing the way you buy back is what's your mo coming into it as a sports
01:14handicapper you can't go wrong with the boston celtics at plus 190 now sure they might not win it but
01:20we don't oh man celtics get upset in round number one like this team is really good they're going to be
01:25able to get to the eastern conference finals the same way i feel about the cavaliers because why ben
01:29they play in the eastern conference the path is a little bit easier the questions start to come up
01:33is i think we're in agreement the best overall team to be honest really is like regardless of
01:38record and how you get disrespected on let's just say the houston rockets like okc best record
01:42i don't think too many people say oh no it's the south like the south's gonna have a great chance
01:45to win it yes but the best team being okc but that conference still superstar laden up and down
01:51and we don't have the pedigree to be like they'll be just fine down two to one in the second round of
01:57the playoffs in a series right that's the only problem with it but i do love okc the foundation
02:02of the team the way they played i'm not going to disrespect them but i'm just laying out the
02:05pathways of some people might just be saying look east is easier to get there you can't win an nba
02:10championship unless you get to the finals and maybe okc just has that tougher road overall
