00:00 Let's go ahead and close
00:05 with this one. Let's take a
00:06 look at the Western
00:07 Conference odds. The
00:08 Nuggets still sitting at
00:10 top. They are 2 to 1 to win
00:10 the Western Conference.
00:12 The Clippers are sitting
00:13 there at right behind them
00:15 than the Suns and the
00:16 Timberwolves. And why? Why
00:18 are we disrespecting my
00:19 thunder? I mean, J. Y. What?
00:21 What is this? 9 to 1?
00:22 They're they're worse than
00:23 the Timberwolves. They're
00:24 worse than the Suns. No
00:27 shot, man. This is this. I
00:28 They should be a third in
00:30 in these odds. I feel
00:31 disrespected by this. Well,
00:34 it's a couple of things,
00:34 Davis. When they're going
00:35 with the fact that they
00:36 haven't been there yet,
00:39 right? That that is the
00:39 key. But the other thing,
00:41 folks, and this is where
00:42 the market is going to move
00:44 every day. It's based on
00:45 who plays who. So if you
00:49 think about it, right, if
00:49 you started the playoffs
00:52 today, Oklahoma City is the
00:53 two seed. They're going to
00:56 get the seventh seed, which
00:57 right now with either
00:59 Sacramento or Dallas.
01:00 Somehow they're going to
01:02 put them not as a heavy
01:03 favorite over either one
01:04 of those two teams. Then
01:05 you have to look at they're
01:07 going to get the winner of
01:10 the Clippers and the Suns.
01:10 So you could argue to me
01:13 that two of the three or
01:14 three to four best teams in
01:16 the Western Conference
01:16 could all be on the
01:20 other side of the bracket.
01:20 That's why when you look at
01:23 a team like Denver, even
01:24 though they are the
01:27 four seed, they are the
01:27 favorites because they
01:30 figure they get New Orleans
01:31 round one, pick them off.
01:34 Then they go against Minnesota.
01:34 Hasn't been there yet. It's
01:36 almost like the battle of
01:36 attrition, but I'm you're
01:39 right, Davis. You've got to
01:39 believe in Oklahoma City's
01:42 thunder, especially with
01:42 Gordon Hayward as an adult
01:44 in the room.
