00:03 It's as good as it gets tonight in sports.
00:06 I think it's the biggest game in anything.
00:08 NHL, NBA, college rack, you name it.
00:13 This is the deal right here.
00:14 It certainly is as you have the two best teams in the NBA,
00:19 the two teams at the top of the odds board to win the NBA title,
00:23 the defending champions.
00:25 They gave the Celtics their first home loss of the year
00:27 back in January in Boston in that close 102-100 game.
00:31 So they get back together tonight in Denver and the Celtics, Scotty,
00:35 are the road favorites.
00:37 How about minus one and a half for the Celtics, 220 and a half is the total.
00:43 The only thing of injury significance I do see on the reports is that Jalen Brown is questionable
00:49 with the pelvis injury for Boston.
00:52 Other than that, it looks good on both sides.
00:55 Yeah, look, first of all, I saw Denver win in Boston, which is nearly impossible.
01:01 They've lost two games there the whole year at home in their building.
01:06 So the bottom line is we've already seen the champs go there and beat them by a bucket.
01:10 I think that's why the Lions won.
01:12 But I like Denver here at home.
01:15 I think it's going to be crucial for Gordon and Porter to have big games
01:21 because we know that the Celtics have to deal with the Joker and with Murray.
01:26 That's their, I think they're going to key on stopping the big fella,
01:31 slowing him down in some capacity, harassing him, hassling him, doubling him as much as possible,
01:38 not letting him have his normal triple double,
01:41 which he does every time he touches the floor, it seems like.
01:44 And then Murray is just a light you up special.
01:48 So I think the key is for me is to see Gordon and Porter come up big and shoot the ball well.
01:54 We've talked about this before, Mike.
01:57 The other night, Porter had a 10 for 10 night and five for five from three.
02:01 If this guy has anything remotely close to that, which is nearly impossible,
02:06 he had a perfect night.
02:07 If he does anything like that, let's say he's, you know,
02:10 hitting 50 or more percent from outside tonight.
02:15 If he can knock down four threes and get some mid-range shots in
02:20 and Gordon can go to the 10 and get some dunks and get some mid-range shots in
02:25 and hit maybe one or two threes, I think Denver beats Boston again.
02:29 I think Denver beats Boston again as well.
