00:00After taking that 2-0 series advantage with the 105-98 victory in Game 2, it's a minus 1,000 price in favor of the Celtics to win the NBA title this season.
00:16How many more games does the NBA Finals go?
00:21Well, I would like to say six, not six games, but six games total, so four more games.
00:27Because I do think Dallas is going to get at least one, hopefully both of the games at home.
00:34At least I'm praying to God it's the case because Lord knows we need somewhat of an entertaining NBA Finals because it's been anything but such.
00:41So I do think there's going to be, Dallas will play better at home.
00:44A little bit of regression by some of the Celtics.
00:47Maybe someone like Porzingis, who you never know with that leg, and the fact he's going back to Dallas.
00:52I think this is going to go six.
00:54I said Dallas in six, maybe it's Boston in six, but I still think it's going six.
00:59With the extension of the series, and we hope it certainly does go six or seven, gives us some great content and also will be a great series.
01:06But Game 3 is going to be pivotal.
01:08But talk to me about this, Coach.
01:10You take a look at Luka Doncic and how well he's performed in the playoffs.
01:13But then we get those games where it's yesterday before the game.
01:16We don't even know if he's going to play downgraded to questionable on game day.
01:19Are we worried at all about Luka's health moving forward here to try to even extend the series and get it at least back to Boston?
01:26I mean, you always want to be concerned when you see a player go from probable to questionable, what, six hours before tip-off.
01:33That's always going to be a concern, obviously seeing how Luka was on the sideline.
01:37But Luka's a gamer.
01:38Luka's going to battle.
01:39Luka's going to come through.
01:40Luka's going to play.
01:41Luka's going to do whatever he's got to do to play.
01:46Like I said, it's about Kyrie.
01:48It's about the role players.
01:49And what you hope for is when you get into your home gym, you sleep in your own bed, maybe the shots just fall a little bit more in your own arena.
01:58At least you've got hope.
01:59I've got to try and find something for Dallas to feel like they can make this run.
02:04It's tough because you look at Boston and they could just, if Tatum's off, Brown can go off.
02:10If Brown's off, there could be Holliday.
02:11If Holliday doesn't go off, there could be White.
02:13Then there's Porzingis.
02:14Then there's Pritchard.
02:15Like, for us, it's still going to be like, can Kyrie get you 25 or so points?
02:20Because you need, I would say, honestly, 50 to 55 points from the two of them and the bench would do enough for you to get over the hump.
02:30That has not happened yet.
02:31And that's why we're in this series right now, Two of Boston.
