00:03 >> Let's look now at the very least, Joe, at Game 1 Knicks Pacers
00:09 tomorrow night at the Garden in New York and
00:13 the line 5.5 minus 225 on the money line, 217 and a hook.
00:19 How do you feel the series begins at the world's most famous for
00:23 the Knicks and Pacers?
00:26 >> Yeah, I think it's gonna be a battle here.
00:31 When it comes down to it, these two teams have had huge amounts of success in
00:36 kind of different ways here this year.
00:39 To me, this is another game where Ken Indiana,
00:43 who's coming out of a series against Milwaukee in which wasn't very physical,
00:48 was not a whole lot of defense.
00:51 For the most part, they had their way.
00:54 Then Lillard gets hurt, this was a cakewalk of a series for Indiana.
00:59 New York had a little bit more of an issue there with Philadelphia,
01:02 that was a very physical series.
01:03 They're gonna bring that same physicality here to Indiana.
01:07 And we talked about some of the matchups here.
01:10 New York is a better three point shooting team.
01:12 More of their offense is geared around getting those open three point looks here.
01:17 Indiana's defensive problems, we know about them.
01:22 Ultimately, can New York get enough threes to get some separation from Indiana?
01:26 And can Indiana handle the physicality of the big men?
01:31 Can they score in the paint?
01:33 Schematically, they're gonna have to figure out a way to get Hartenstein and
01:37 Robinson out to the three point line because you're hitting enough shots to
01:42 warrant them to come out there so you can get more shots at the rim.
01:45 If they don't, Knicks win this thing in five, Scotty.
01:49 It'll be that simple here.
