00:00It looks like, why are we even wasting time playing this series?
00:03A minus 7,000 price on the Celtics to advance over the Orlando Magic.
00:08It looks like it's supposed to be, Coach, a de facto sweep.
00:11So before we get into will the Celtics win this series, which they probably will,
00:14what can the Orlando Magic do against the Boston Celtics to make this a competitive series?
00:20They got to lean on their defense.
00:22They have to be dialed in defensively.
00:24And he didn't score the ball well.
00:27Well, defensively, Paulo Bencaro, if you watch that game,
00:31I saw him so engaged in pick-and-roll coverage and how he's defending
00:35that I was like, damn, I didn't even know Paulo had it in him to do this.
00:39So, listen, the way that Jamal Mosley coaches his team
00:43is they're going to be a tougher out than people expect.
00:49I think Boston's going to absolutely win the series,
00:51but can I see Orlando getting a game and giving Boston a scare in another game?
00:57Absolutely.
00:58I mean, they hang their hats on the defensive end of the floor.
01:02And when defense is your absolute, you're always going to give yourself
01:06some sort of chance to win.
01:09And let's be honest, guys, you know, during the regular season,
01:12they have played.
01:13Orlando did.
01:15Listen, we can't count the game, the 20-point win on the night.
01:18But they do have a 108-104 win during the season.
01:21They're going to find a way to keep this close
01:24and maybe steal a game, maybe two in the series.
01:28So, that's the question, J.Y., because we see what the oddsmakers are expecting.
01:32Minus 7,000 for the Seas to win it outright.
01:35You look at the series spread.
01:37You look at the series correct score.
01:39Boston a win in four.
01:41That is a sweep is the most likely option.
01:45So, you're calling it now.
01:46Orlando wins at least one game to at least get to five.
01:50How do you see this series?
01:52What would be the official prediction?
01:54I said it's going to go 4-1.
01:55If I could have got it plus 3.5, under 150, I would jump in there.
02:02But if you're asking me series correct score, I think it's 4-1.
02:05I think Orlando finds a way to win one.
02:08And then if you really think about it, this is one of the best teams defensively.
02:12And Boston shoots such a crazy amount of threes.
02:16All you need is one game for them to go off.
02:19If you think about the 108-104 loss, I think Boston shot about 23 or 24 percent
02:24from the three-point line.
02:25If you're able to defend the three, Ben, and get them to get misses
02:29and secure the first rebound, you could steal a game.
02:33If I can get it under 150, I'm going plus 3.5.
02:36But if you're asking me to score, I'm going 4-1.
02:39They'll get one game.
