00:00Well, the Knicks are going to try to do something tonight that they have not done at home since 1999.
00:06That was in the Eastern Conference Finals Game 6.
00:09That would be close out a series at home at the Garden.
00:13The last five times they've had a chance to do this, they have lost.
00:18The Celtics on the other side, they have won five straight road games when facing elimination.
00:25So the Celtics have been very good with this the last couple years.
00:30In this spot, why don't we start from earlier today at the shoot-around at the Garden for the Celtics.
00:35Here's Peyton Pritchard.
00:37Obviously, Celtics down 3-2.
00:39They do not want to go home tonight.
00:41I get this Game 6, bring it back to Boston.
00:43That's the only thing that matters right now.
00:45Why do you guys thrive so much in these elimination games, especially on the road when in a hostile environment?
00:52Because we don't want our season to end.
00:54I think it's nothing worse than having to go home and sit at home and not play basketball right now.
01:00So we're going to do everything we can to keep that alive.
01:04You know, and the thing about him is he's such a great player and I hate his guts.
01:09Look, I think that that honestly, that's the thing tonight.
01:18You know this.
01:19I know this.
01:20This isn't hard to figure out.
01:22You can't have the Celtics do what they did in game number five, which was hit 22 threes and just go...
01:31Wide open.
01:31Wide open.
01:32I don't care.
01:33I don't care what the Knicks do.
01:34The Knicks...
01:35They're not winning the game if the Celtics hit 22 threes again.
01:38There's just no shot that they're going to be able to hang around with them doing that.
01:42They have to be better defending the perimeter.
01:44Something that we know they're not great at anyway.
01:47But they've got to try to get back to a little bit of what they did in those first two games in Boston.
01:52I think it's bullshack that they don't guard the perimeter.
01:55I think it's absolute bullshack.
01:57I mean, can we get somebody up in somebody's grill?
02:03Can we get guys on the body and stop with this space?
02:09I mean, they are leaving these guys five feet wide open shots.
02:13It's like, it's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my life.
02:19This guy, White, is shooting step-in threes.
02:22I play with this guy.
02:23He led the nation in scoring at Drew University.
02:28You heard me.
02:29Led the nation in scoring, this White boy.
02:32The sniper.
02:34And I see this guy walking into threes all the time.
02:37We're like, we bring the ball down the court and they kick it out to him and he steps into the three.
02:41That's what White does.
02:43That's what this team does.
02:47It's the most unbelievable thing how they don't guard him.
02:51It's like the kiss of death.
02:53It's you're asking to lose.
02:55These are professional sharpshooters.
02:59These guys are not in the NBA and with rings on their fingers because they suck at shooting threes.
03:06Particularly White.
03:07The one that insulted me the other night was the brown on the wing.
03:11He literally stopped, dribbled, spun the ball like he was at the free throw line.
03:16And then he shot the three all in that splash.
03:19And no one was in, like, anywhere within 15 feet of him.
03:25Like, what in the F are we doing here?
03:30Can we get bodies on these guys?
03:32Like, honestly, I'm going to have a stroke.
03:34Watching them shoot wide open threes is just killing me.
03:37I'm going to have another heart attack.
03:38Yeah, nobody wants to have you to have that.
03:43So, we're not going to go that far.
03:44I will tell you that the Knicks tonight, for the first time in this series, they're favored.
03:50Minus two and a half for the Knicks.
03:52Oh, no.
03:53At home, two eleven and a half is the total.
03:59Go ahead.
04:00I know you're not playing.
04:02If you're not, you can't pick the Celtics.
04:04I know.
04:04I can't worry about numbers at this point.
04:08I'm worried about my health.
04:10I'm on the Knicks.
04:11That's that.
04:12Game over.
04:13Lay it.
04:14That's it.
04:14I'm never, you'll never, you'll never see me bet on the Celtics.
04:18I don't even care if I lose money.
04:19That's how much I hate them.
04:21Like, I just don't even care.
04:22I will never bet on them.
04:24I'm mad at you for wearing a green shirt today.
04:26Like, I've already, that's already set me off.
04:28He's got, like, a green and green concoction going, green and black.
04:32Like, he's got the Celtics green and black, road, uniform.
04:36The day the guy showed up, my guy, Deb, showed up at the gym with his Celtic jersey on it.
04:41And then they said, listen, you're not playing here today with that on.
04:45And I was like, Carver Hawk shows up today in green and black.
04:48Like, what's happening here to me?
04:50Is this all part of a grand scheme of, like, some evil plot?
