00:00If we're looking at this odds market, does anything bring to your attention right now where no, no, no, Donnie, we need more time to let this settle in.
00:07It's basically just chalk at this point for you.
00:11Well, listen, you better take a serious look at the Clippers at plus 750 here because they are the one team that I think is worth taking a flyer on.
00:24And if anybody's going to beat OKC, it's this Clippers team that is built to do that, provided we have a healthy Kawhi Leonard and Norm Powell and, of course, Harden and Zubach and company there.
00:37But this Clippers team, very experienced, very poised at plus 750.
00:42That's your value.
00:44Now, whether or not they end up beating the Thunder, who knows?
00:47But I can tell you, if it comes down to Thunder Clippers, what are the Thunder going to be?
00:51How big a favorite there, Donnie?
00:53I don't think you're going to get the Clippers at plus 750 to win that series for sure.
00:58Yeah, we get overreactions all the time, right?
01:00But rightfully so.
01:01It is an odds market.
01:02And I think I always like to say, Joe, is that the odds, the thing that Swartzberg doesn't wake up one day and say, roll the dice.
01:07Hey, 165 came out on OKC.
01:10Or OK, 8-1 came out on the Lakers.
01:12Like, these numbers are there for a reason.
01:13They're being bet into.
01:14And also, that's what the algorithm, as we like to say, is talking about.
01:18The Golden State Warriors plus 850.
01:20See, the reason I bring that up is because that's directly with the Houston Rockets in a one-to-one series at 21-to-one to win the West for the Rockets.
01:27I will continue to talk about the Rockets here.
01:30Your thoughts on them being 21-to-one now, which as the two-seed, not the two-seed here, they're more of the seven-seed being priced right now, Joe.
01:39Yeah, it's kind of crazy, right?
01:42But the Rockets, I kind of put in that same category as Detroit, right, Donnie?
01:48That very young, very more talent, that well-coached, but, you know, the experience just isn't there.
01:58And I thought it was a great bounce back against Golden State.
02:01But now I've got to see them win a game on the road in Golden State here for me to lean that way.
02:07They certainly have the talent, and on paper, and they have a head coach who knows what he's doing.
02:13But the problem is I still think they're a year or two away from truly contending for a world championship.
02:20We'll see you next time.
