00:00As we shared yesterday, if the Warriors booked as a six and a half seven point home favorite
00:04were just to win outright to claim that seven seed out west, more than likely they were going
00:10to be a playoff series outright favorite against the two seed. Yeah, the two seed in the Houston
00:16Rockets. And here is why. Oklahoma City an odds on favorite at minus 150. Yesterday, the Lakers
00:23at plus 650 and the Warriors at plus 750. The odds slightly better for both LA and Golden State.
00:30But you see that price on the dubs seven to one to win the Western Conference crown.
00:34What's the number on the two seed out west? The Houston Rockets still remain 26 to one.
00:41Golden State nearly a fourth of the price of Houston. Those two teams will do battle in
00:47the opening round of the playoffs beginning this weekend. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. And again,
00:52the NBA is really the only league that would actually have this where the number two seed
00:56is relatively an underdog to win their own conference where teams barely making it into
01:01the playoffs, per se, have much better odds pricing. That's just what it is. They don't
01:04put a lot of stock in the regular season as they do into the playoffs. But it is interesting
01:08to see that the Golden State Warriors now not just saying, OK, their favorite over the number
01:12two seed. No, they're the third in line in the odds market here at the family sports book
01:16to cut down the nets, per se, in the Western Conference, which again, I vehemently disagree
01:20with. And maybe it'll play out that way. And maybe the odds makers, as we say, typically
01:24are the smartest men in the room and they get this right. But the fact that they're right
01:27on the heels, the Warriors to the Los Angeles Lakers and so far ahead of the Clippers and
01:31the Nuggets and the Timberwolves and the Rockets who have home court advantage and are rested
01:35and ready, ready to take on the Golden State Warriors. I, this is fascinating. Like it's almost
01:39like a case study. I need to see how this series plays out to be like, yep, they're always
01:43right. Don't you dare pay any iota of attention to the regular season because it's insignificant
01:48and doesn't matter. Just look at the roster on paper and say, if they make it to the
01:52playoffs, they'll be better than the other roster. It'll be fun to watch this, this work
01:56out and play out.
