00:00Three racket in the Eastern Conference. The final four of the Eastern Conference consist of the

00:04Boston Celtics, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the New York Knicks, and the Indiana Pacers. And if you go

00:09to the FanDuel Sportsbook right now and check those prices out, the Celtics are the favorite

00:13at a minus 155. The Cleveland Cavaliers, second in line at 175. The New York Knicks, 19 to 1.

00:20And then the Indiana Pacers at 20 to 1. When you see those numbers, Joe Ranieri,

00:24what first comes to mind for you? Yeah, well, I mean, the it's a two horse race is what it looks

00:30like, right? And that's what the market thinks here is that Celtics and Cavs and then there is

00:36everybody else. And I think we just discussed, we don't think the Knicks really have a puncher's

00:42chance at taking down the Celtics. My question is, are we convinced that the Pacers don't?

00:49And I don't, I don't know that because the Pacers are a unique challenge to the Cavaliers here.

00:55They are not going to out three, you know, the Pacers can go toe to toe. They're built similarly.

01:01They can shoot the three. They can run up and down the court. Cleveland is not as good defensively

01:06this year. You know, I would give the Pacers a puncher's chance more than what I would give the

01:13Knicks on trying to win a four out of seven here against the Boston Celtics. It's just styles,

01:19make fights and the Knicks don't have the horses to get it done.
