00:00If we re-rack that series price between the Cavaliers and the Pacers,
00:03now that the Cavs are down 0-2 in the series,
00:05it's a minus 198 price point here for the Pacers, the Cavs at a plus 166,
00:10which can feed off these last two games, Coach.
00:12Number one, do you think that this series is still salvageable for the Cavaliers?
00:16And number two, what's the health status that we're looking forward to for the Cavaliers?
00:20Because if they're not healthy, they're not winning this series.
00:22No, because what happens, Don, is because Indiana has now become the sum of their parts, right?
00:29And it's deeper than Halliburton.
00:31Halliburton, Turner, number one, who I loved going into game two,
00:34was at like five and a half to one to lead the series in threes.
00:37I'm like, wait, why are people not betting this?
00:40Well, he's now jumped out to, you know, I think at four or five last night.
00:43You know, you look at Matherin, you look at even Toppin, you look at McConnell.
00:49They got a number of guys, right, that can score the ball.
00:53And Cleveland is about the sum of their parts.
00:56So when you take away their starting point guard,
00:58when you take away their starting power forward defensive player of the year,
01:01when you take away arguably the second best six man of the year award probably behind Peyton Pritchard,
01:09now your strength is now becoming your weakness versus the team that literally can just keep rolling out lineups
01:17and repeat the process.
01:19It's about that.
01:21So now the question is, is the series over?
01:24I don't think it's over, but that series spread of Indiana minus one and a half games and minus 124 is really enticing
01:33because I just got to get two.
01:35I just got to get two.
01:36And I got it in my own building.
01:39Can I see there being a split and it being 3-1?
01:44Yes.
01:45But then I don't see, you know, boom, boom, boom, lose five, six, seven, including six at home.
01:50Minus one and a half games and minus 124 for Indiana Pacers.
01:54Seems like a pretty good bet.
01:55The way they're playing and the lack of depth right now in Cleveland.
02:01And by the way, shout out to Indiana.
02:02Like, I want to know what kind of rabbit foot or four-leaf clover, what they got.
02:07Because every team they play in the playoffs last two years,
02:10everybody seems to get hurt right when they get to play that.
