00:00And that is Indiana and Cleveland.
00:02Don't know what time yet because we don't know if there's going to be that game seven or not.
00:06But it will have game one at the queue.
00:09For game one right now, they have minus seven and a half.
00:12So I think this was eight and a half yesterday when I told you.
00:14So it's down one.
00:15Minus seven and a half for the Cavs.
00:17229 and a half is the total.
00:20And I gave you the series price too yesterday, which is Indiana.
00:24If you think they can win the series, which, of course, me and you do think that they can do that.
00:30Plus 410 for the series.
00:33Well, look, you know, I'm not going to change now and go soft now when I've already told you I took the eight and a half.
00:40So I have to ride the Pacers.
00:42And what I need them to do is I need them to play defense like they've never done.
00:47I'm not worried about them scoring and putting the ball in the hole because they guaranteed are going to do that.
00:52They can shoot.
00:53They got 10 guys that can put the ball in the hole.
00:56All 10 of them.
00:57My problem with them is stopping the Cavs from scoring 130 points a night because that's what the Heat let them do.
01:07You have to play better defense against the Cavs or you're going to lose.
01:11Now, I'm going to ride the Pacers out.
01:13And if I'm humiliated, so be it.
01:16I'm going to bend over and take it like a man because I think the Pacers can play with the Cavs.
01:21If they play legit, you know, conference finals, NBA finals defense, not conference semifinal defense, they have to take it up another level if they expect to beat them.
01:36We already know they can go toe-to-toe with them scoring.
01:39I think they can.
01:41It's stopping them that's the problem.
01:44Same thing for the Knicks.
01:45They can't stop the Celtics.
01:48Like, the Knicks can do whatever they want, but they can't stop Boston, and that's why they lose.
01:55So, this is about stops.
01:59This is about defense and manning the F up.
02:02That's what it's about at the end of the day.
02:07Look, I think that the Pacers can absolutely win this series.
02:12I think it's a good spot to get them with a lot of points because I think they're going to play well enough where you might not see it that high again in the series.
02:21I think that this is the first game where you can jump on a pretty good number.
02:26Now, did you see what they did to the dad?
02:28Now, I got to tell you, the other night, after all this happened, I was stunned.
02:34I don't know if you saw Halliburton's father, after embarrassing his son, the whole thing with Giannis, the next night he was doing interviews on local television in Indianapolis talking about his side story.
02:47And this is my theory.
02:48This has not been said.
02:49I said this to Joe last night.
02:50I'll say it to you.
02:50I think that because he did that and didn't just lay low and shut the hell up, I think that's why the team said, you know what?
02:59Go stay home.
03:00Get this guy out of here for a little while.
03:02As usual, I agree with you.
03:07There's nothing else to say.
03:09Yeah.
03:10That guy's just an absolute clown.
03:12He reminds me of the ball dad.
03:16The guy just can't get enough of himself that his son is successful and he's trying to ride his coattails and he's really the family embarrassment.
03:29He's like that one they want to tuck away and lock in a room and throw away the key.
03:33He's embarrassing.
