00:00The Celtics Knicks, where you have allegedly the greatest Knick in the history of Knicks basketball.
00:07Don't get me started with this.
00:11This is, I actually want to go to, I want to go to you first on this, Tom.
00:14My top three Knicks of all time?
00:16No!
00:18Latrell Spreewell, Alan Houston.
00:20Yeah, I like Latrell, Latrell.
00:22Chris Dudley?
00:23Chris Childs.
00:24I mean.
00:25Marbury?
00:26Marbury.
00:26No.
00:26Like, people told Marbury being a top 10 Knick of all time, like, he had the worst season in the history of that franchise.
00:33What about Tyson Chandler?
00:35I mean, his name, not Landry Fields.
00:39Okay.
00:39But the shooter, the three-shooter.
00:42Steve Novak?
00:43Oh, they're talking double-check.
00:45Those are my guys.
00:46Latrell Spreewell, Alan Houston, Landry Fields, and Steve Novak.
00:49Yeah, all right.
00:51Tom's all-time Knick starting five wouldn't make the playoffs in this year's East.
00:56Should be worse than the Wizards this year.
00:58All right.
01:00Celtics-Knicks, reel it in.
01:02Yep.
01:02Here we go.
01:03All right.
01:03My question.
01:04Are you surprised at how big a favorite Boston is on the series line against the Knicks?
01:13Started minus 700, climbed to minus 900, settling right now at minus 770.
01:20Am I surprised?
01:21No.
01:22Do I think that it's deserved?
01:26Kind of.
01:27Kind of.
01:28Again, this is a situation where we're dealing with two different things, like what I believe
01:31personally and what the books are doing to, in theory, protect themselves, where they're
01:36never going to hang a number that's even a minus 300 number for the Celtics.
01:40A, I think, is a little bit disrespectful for what they've done and what they've proven.
01:44But it also, again, puts them at a bit of a liability overall.
01:47So, with that said, the only effective way to bet this would be on the series spread or
01:53the series total games or direct outcome that we expect the Knicks to win one of them at
01:58home.
01:58Are they going to lose the series 4-1?
01:59Is it going to be 4-2?
02:01That's the only way I expect most people to rationally to bet this series overall.
02:06I think the line is accurate when it's all said and done.
02:08If I had to side with one of you, I'd say, yes, give me the Celtics minus 700, I think
02:12that is the play, or where the line should be.
02:16That's not the play.
02:16A series spread better, a series spread outcome would be the way to go about things.
02:20Yeah, I mean, listen, as a Knicks fan, let's be honest, the Celtics smoked the Knicks
02:24all season.
02:26The Knicks also struggled against good teams all season.
02:28Right, and the Knicks fans are going to turn around and say, well, we didn't have our
02:34full team.
02:34With all due respect, I love Mitchell Robinson, but he is not the ultimate needle mover in
02:40this series.
02:41Let's just call it what it is.
02:43So, Tom is right.
02:45It is the series spread, and where can you find your self-value?
02:48Because I'm a Knicks fan, and I'm the most unbiased Knicks fan on the planet.
02:53Yeah, I said that, unbiased Knicks fan.
02:55They are not winning this series.
02:58They're not.
03:00I'm sorry.
03:01Get real.
03:02Can the Knicks win two games in this series?
03:06That's what I'm looking at.
03:08So, I like the Knicks plus two and a half games at minus 110 right now.
03:12I would not be shocked if this is 2-2 heading back to Boston, and the Knicks literally run
03:22out of gas.
03:23Because Tibbs is going to play these guys 40 minutes a night, and it's going to catch up
03:29to them.
03:29Boston will give away a game because they'll shoot it like hot trash from three, and the
03:33Knicks will steal one.
03:34And then Brunton probably steals you a second.
03:38You're not getting a third and a fourth.
03:40Unless Carl Anthony Towns becomes the Carl Anthony Towns that's a demon that can give you a 25
03:46and 15.
03:48I love Cat.
03:49I don't think it's happening.
03:50So, to me, Knicks plus two and a half games at minus 110 is where I'm looking.
03:55I see it differently.
03:58I do not know why everyone just has thrown this Knicks team away.
04:07They were built to compete with this Boston group.
04:12And each game, they seemingly chipped away at this insurmountable deficit that would come
04:20across when they would play Boston.
04:22I think the series spread is completely ridiculous.
04:28And it is the most I've ever seen a regular season matchup impact the way a series is positioned
04:35in the market.
