Predicting a Sixers Blowout Against Knicks in Pivotal Game

00:00 I think this could be a blowout. It's no disrespect to the Knicks. It's really not.
00:09 It's... this series has almost been too competitive, too intriguing in the fourth
00:17 quarter. If you look around the way these games have gone, you know, and
00:22 Lakers Nuggets has had plenty of fourth-quarter intrigue. I'm not saying
00:26 that, you know, you can't get great series that are tight. It just wouldn't
00:30 surprise me if the Sixers are able to really run away, and I think it's because
00:34 I don't... it feels like the Knicks offense really will underwhelm here. I was
00:38 tempted by their team total under in this game, and that would probably be the
00:43 way I want to play it, and I may end up adding it, but what I really want to play
00:47 here, and it's funny, it'll sound like it's going against what I just said, is
00:51 Joel Embiid under 34 and a half points. So the notion that this could be a
00:57 blowout does factor in a bit for me, right? You look at Embiid minutes-wise,
01:01 this series 37-39-41, it's a ton of minutes, and again, that game number one minute
01:08 total would have been two to three higher if he didn't leave with an
01:12 injury right at the very end there of that first half. If you get a blowout and
01:17 you get 32 minutes from Embiid, you should be in business on an under 34 and
01:21 a half, but it's also asking Embiid to do something he's never done in his
01:25 postseason career, which is re-consecutive games.
