00:00We reset where the NBA championship odds are now that the title favorites have reached round number
00:09two. The Celtics winning their opening round series over Miami in five games last night and
00:14Donnie Boston a plus 115 favorite to win their 18th NBA championship in franchise history.
00:22This young group of Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown being the homegrown headliners has been to this stage
00:28before. They have been to the Eastern Conference Finals. They have made it into the NBA championship
00:33series but that 18th Larry O'Brien trophy has eluded them. The last NBA title in Boston way
00:41back in 2008. Doc Rivers was the head coach. Kevin Garnett, Paul Pearson, Ray Allen were the
00:48headliners of the Boston three party way back then. Do the Celtics being that short of a favorite at
00:55plus 115 now in a round number two make sense to you? They're the best team so obviously they should
01:02have the lowest odds here but once again it just comes down to price point of what you're willing
01:06to pay. The Boston Celtics probably have an easy time of it Ben in the next round then they'll get
01:11a little bit of pushback in the Eastern Conference Finals but unlike the Denver Nuggets, the Minnesota
01:15Timberwolves and OKC there is a gauntlet that those teams still have to run through just to
01:20make it to the Celtics and oh yeah you talk about home court advantage. It's big in the NBA. Who's
01:25the best team in the NBA on their home court? It's the Boston Celtics. If the team in the Boston
01:30Celtics does make the NBA Finals they'll have four games on their home court. The three games let you
01:34say for the Denver Nuggets you also have an unbelievable home court advantage. So for my money
01:39I won't be betting the Boston Celtics and again it still comes back and smacks you in the head when
01:43you say you pulled the same thing with UConn where the price isn't appropriate but I do think there's
01:47other ways that you can spend your money than getting a plus 1.15 price on the Boston Celtics
01:52that won't pay you out to right around July let's just say at this point here. But I do agree
01:57with the FanBull Sportsbook that a plus 1.15 price on the Boston Celtics makes sense because
02:01they're going to be in the NBA Finals with the least resistance as opposed to the Western
02:05Conference and then when they get there they'll have home court advantage. So it does make sense
02:09it's just not going to get my money Ben.
