00:00Pacers take care of business in game one of their best of seven with the Milwaukee Bucks.

00:04I mean, Giannis with a huge game, 36 points.

00:06But certainly that's not going to get the job done.

00:09It looks like it's more than just Lillard at this point, Gilbert.

00:12Indiana's just playing great.

00:13I mean, 117 points, that means that defensively, things not going well.

00:18I mean, is Indiana, I mean, Indiana's now the heavy favorite to win this series.

00:21I mean, minus 280 on the money line here.

00:25Could Lillard coming back make that much of a difference?

00:27Or is Indiana just a better team?

00:29I do think Damian Lillard coming back would make a major difference.

00:32It's going to be interesting to see where his conditioning is, where his timing is once he comes back.

00:36Because it's been some time since he's played.

00:38But the big thing that stands out to me isn't the fact that Giannis had 36 and 12.

00:42It's that he only had one assist in the game.

00:45And they did not get much from anyone else.

00:48And Giannis was doing a great job trying to set people up.

00:51They couldn't convert.

00:52So I would expect his supporting cast to be better.

00:55Obviously, if Damian Lillard is part of that supporting cast,

00:58then they will be better, even if it's just for 20 minutes in the game.

01:01But you've got to get more from Kyle Kuzma.

01:03Didn't record a stat in over 20 minutes, which is dubious company to be in for him.

01:07But I think that these teams are a little bit closer than what we saw on Saturday.

01:10The Bucs didn't get anything from anybody else, really, outside of Antetokounmpo.

01:14So, let's do those deals.

01:16So, let's see.
