00:00Boston enters the NBA championship as of this moment as greater than a $2 odds-on
00:09favorite at minus 220 to win Larry O'Brien trophy number 18 in the proud
00:15history of that Celtics organization in Beantown. We will see who wins the West
00:21but as you see based on the NBA championship odds the Mavericks have a
00:25much better outlook up three games to none in the Western Conference Finals
00:29that's pretty reflective DRS those numbers of what the projected early
00:34hypothetical series numbers would have been and are set to be if it is Boston
00:39and Dallas in the NBA finals. Yeah surprised by it too because I didn't
00:44think Dallas or excuse me I should say the Boston Celtics going up against
00:46either the Dallas Mavericks or the Minnesota Timberwolves should be any
00:48higher than like a 150 to 160 ish type price so minus 220 is a little bit
00:53alarming here and also if you are the Boston Celtics how do you hope this gets
00:57widened here well if you have an extended period of time off and you see
01:01the Minnesota Timberwolves maybe win game four and game five to expend that
01:04spend that series then you set that bulky knee that Luke has been you know
01:07running on over this whole playoff run gets a couple more games under his belt
01:11before they even have to play the Celtics but I do understand this if we
01:15do see the Dallas Mavericks tonight beat the Minnesota Timberwolves in four I
01:18don't know if you could still justify to be honest with you better minus 220
01:22price like I'm still baffled that it is that high and I understand it's that
01:25high in part reason because the other series isn't over but knowing how the
01:28odds work the series just about is over here so that minus 220 isn't going to
01:33shrink down to a minus 145 by the time the finals here because the Dallas
01:37Mavericks have arrived but I am surprised that it's going to stay and
01:40possibly so or two to one price or higher here which immediately opens my
01:44eye to the Mavericks who's also keep in mind if we're talking about an NBA
01:47series that's not going to start for well over a week and you say Luka
01:50Doncic maybe he could use that rest on his knee how much better is Luka
01:53Doncic gonna be in the NBA finals with nine or ten days off as opposed to like
01:57three or four days off so that could play into it as well but again the
02:00Celtics at minus 220 should they be the favorite yes do I think they're
02:03overpriced I do a little bit
