00:00When you look at the series outright odds now, the Pacers greater than a $5 minus money favorite.

00:06I thought the Bucs would stay in this series mainly because of Giannis not even truly aware

00:11of what the hell situation would be around Damian Lillard or at least maybe not expecting him

00:17to come back in this opening round set. I didn't care. I was kind of dead wrong. You have always

00:23believed in Indiana winning this first round series, handling home court business in the

00:29opening two games. So as you see it, how much longer do we have to go in this set between

00:35the Bucs and the Pacers? I think it probably sets up for me as a gentleman sweep in this

00:39point and the great Vince Carter, as he once said, it's over. It's over at this point right

00:45now. Now understand this. There are some buyback points that I do like, and it might not be

00:48in the series prices where it's, Hey, Donnie, take a flower on plus 400, or do you like Milwaukee

00:53plus two and a half games? Some of those could make some sense. Again, if we do win game number

00:57three for the Bucs, I think there's a really good chance they do that. That's the kitchen

01:00sink game. We go down 3-0. It's a coronation, just a matter of when it ends. But 2-1, you

01:05can sort of dip back into it. I am buying, absolutely buying Giannis Antetokounmpo in

01:10game number three, because you know he's going to pull out his best move, Ben. Get the ball

01:13at half court, take one dribble, crash into all five defenders at once, and try to lay it

01:18in and at least get to the free throw line. I'm buying Antetokounmpo big, but I'm not buying

01:22the Bucs for this series. The Pacers are better. They proved that in games one and two.

01:26Dame coming back is just an illusion. Didn't help them in the regular season. Won't help

01:30them now, and I don't think they can overcome a 2-0 series. Even Ben, if they win both of

01:34these games in Milwaukee, it's still a best of three with Indiana with home court advantage.

01:38Those to the victors goes to the spoils, as we like to say. A better regular season, might

01:42have changed that for Milwaukee. But right now, I'm all pastered up right now, but I do expect

01:46a monster performance by Antetokounmpo.
