00:00 Let's focus on tonight's game.
00:01 Knicks against the Pacers.
00:02 Uh, Knicks came back to win.
00:04 It has just been the Brunson show.
00:05 Four and a half point favorites tonight with a total of 220.
00:09 So there's totals actually moved up three points since game one, because
00:12 both teams have their way offensively.
00:14 What is your expectation for tonight's game?
00:16 Yeah, I think it'll be another good game.
00:19 You know, it kind of comes down to Tyrese Halliburton, how healthy is he?
00:23 How much can he give the Pacers?
00:25 Cause you look back even at their regular season matchups to get, uh, between
00:29 these two teams and Jalen Brunson, they couldn't stop Jalen Brunson then.
00:33 Scored 39 at one, scored 40 in another at 28 in the third game.
00:36 So in the way he's playing right now, it just feels like, yeah, Jalen
00:41 Brunson is going to get his 35 plus.
00:42 So you have to figure out how can we slow down these other guys,
00:46 Devin Chenzo, Hart, et cetera.
00:48 And with the way the Pacers play defense or don't play defense,
00:52 depending how you look at it, it's going to be tough.
00:54 They got to run them and they just got to score and they got to wear them down
00:57 because the Knicks play only a handful of guys, big, big minutes.
01:00 And if the Pacers aren't at full strength, particularly their engine
01:04 in Tyrese Halliburton, it's going to be really tough for them,
01:07 especially with that crowd and MSG.
01:09 So I think it's going to be another good game.
01:11 It's tough to pick the Pacers right now on the road, but they've surprised us in
01:16 the past and I think it's going to be a really good game, so I'm really
01:18 looking forward to that one tonight.
