00:00where have the odds caught up from the performances we have

00:06seen in the first 789 games of this season for all 30 clubs.

00:11Here's one thing that seems to remain constant and shall

00:14throughout the year. Boston Celtics are the best team in

00:17basketball. Cleveland is one of the only unbeaten in the

00:20Eastern Conference 8 and 0. A surprising and impressive start

00:24to this year. Oklahoma City, the Western Conference

00:26championship favorites. They're also undefeated. In my

00:30estimation, Joe, everybody is playing for second best or

00:33perhaps if you want to spin it another way, the ultimate

00:36challenger and contender to the seas, whether out east or in

00:40the NBA overall, Boston entered the year with a ridiculously

00:44short price to win the NBA championship three to one

00:48before a single basketball game was played after a seven and

00:51one start a five and three against the spread number as a

00:54favorite in all eight games. The price is already grown

00:57shorter by half a buck to plus 250. And then it just feels

01:03like we're going to be rinsing and repeating here a lot with

01:07these teams, right? If listen folks, if it ain't broke, don't

01:10fix it here. Celtics, Thunder, Knicks, Mavs, Timberwolves,

01:13Nuggets, Suns, what do they all have in common? Yeah, we're

01:17going to see them in the playoffs again. So they're all

01:20going to be battling one another for a chance to win a

01:23world championship. And again, it's a very long season, but

01:28every one of those teams, the current makeup of them been

01:31just as good as they were a year ago. Some teams got a

01:34little better. Some teams lost a little depth. In fact, the

01:38team that seems to be the most ridiculously overrated in that

01:41list. Why are the Knicks in single digits like you don't

01:45know the depth concerns with the Knicks are B had they do

01:48last night against Houston? Uh like I don't know why we still

01:52consider this team to be in that category with OKC and

01:56Boston because as far as I'm concerned, they're not.
