00:03 Boston Celtics, the only team to reach the 40 win benchmark prior to the break,
00:07 and they have three more than 40.
00:09 It's a 43 and 12 record for the Seas.
00:12 Boston's first game following the All-Star break, 8.5 point road favorite
00:16 in Chicago against the Bulls, the over under 226.
00:20 We often talk, Donnie, about reading lines in college basketball,
00:25 where motivation is a little bit easier to throw into the handicap and
00:29 conference games between rivals as a home team is an underdog or
00:33 whatever it might be.
00:35 I think this is a strong Seas line for a reason as well.
00:39 >> No, it certainly is too, and you take a look at that anticipated starting
00:41 lineup, which is full go, Holiday White, Brown, Tatum, and Porzingis.
00:45 But sometimes it needs to be said, and
00:46 we talked about this with the Milwaukee Bucks earlier in the show with Giannis
00:49 Antonacopo, basically giving those interviews, like I can't wait to get back
00:53 to work, like we're finally through it.
00:55 Once you get past the All-Star break, there is no tomorrow.
00:58 As we like to say, you're either in it to win it or
00:59 you're gonna fade down the stretch.
01:01 And I expect big things from the Celtics.
01:03 You don't wanna start out of the break with a loss or maybe stumble.
01:06 You give some other teams hope, like the Milwaukee Bucks,
01:08 that they might be able to chase down the Boston Celtics for
01:11 that number one overall seed.
01:12 I'm with you on this one.
01:13 This should be a double digit victory for the Boston Celtics.
01:16 Because if we take a look at both of these teams, are the Bulls saying, hey,
01:19 now's our chance to get into the playoffs and do some damage?
01:22 No, they're not doing that.
01:23 But the Boston Celtics, yeah, they're saying, let's solidify our number one seed
01:26 here, and it starts tonight.
