00:00Let's take a look at some of the teams that we believe could win the Eastern Conference.

00:03And you might say last night, hey, about time the East gets in, Bob, because last night it was two games between four Western Conference teams.

00:10The New York Knicks, plus money, plus 210 price to win it.

00:13Excuse me, the Cleveland Cavaliers at plus 210.

00:15The Knicks at a plus 370 price.

00:18The Magic plus 650, as I'm dyslexic right now.

00:21And the Hawks, Pistons, and Celtics behind them.

00:31Listen, they should be the favorite, right?

00:33I mean, both the Cavs and the Knicks, for the most part, return.

00:38I mean, the Knicks returned all five starters, right?

01:05But the East is, I mean, not even close to what the West is, Donnie.

01:08So to me, there are two clear favorites.

01:11And that is the Cavs and the Knicks that take it down.

01:14And that is the Cavs and the Knicks.
