00:00We head over to Indianapolis. Another closeout situation tonight, Brian. That's the Bucs and

00:04the Pacers here. 6 o'clock start. This line opened up at 7 at the FanDuel Sportsbook. Now

00:08up to 8 here on the live number. 222.5 is the live price here on the total. Do we see a closeout

00:14situation? That Damian Lillard injury. Too much to overcome now for Giannis and the crew.

00:19I'm on Pacers. Mine is 7.5. I think this is one. I've described it as like it's a fight where

00:26somebody has somebody else on the ropes. This is boxing, not MMA. Somebody has somebody

00:30else on the ropes and it's just, you know, uppercuts and hooks to the body and the other

00:35competitor is they don't want to quit, but they're just kind of looking over at the ref

00:39like to see if they're going to stop the fight because they want to be saved from themselves

00:43because they're not going to do it. I think Milwaukee is ready to go and they're ready

00:48to get TKO'd here. Indiana now without Damian Lillard as well, although he wasn't necessarily

00:54helping a ton, but I said it before the series. I said, is Indiana going to be too much or is it

00:59going to be Giannis versus everybody? And unfortunately it's Giannis versus everybody,

01:03but in a way where like nobody else on this team is doing anything and Giannis is doing what he can.

01:09The Kyle Kuzma trade is a bust, which is unfortunate because he was playing really,

01:12really well last season, not this season. This season was not the season to trade for him.

01:16Should have did this a year ago because he was actually quite good for the Wizards previously,

01:21not this season. And he's been a zero essentially. The Milwaukee Bucks are just, they're done.

01:28And if they win this game, I'll be surprised. I don't know if I'd like them for game six. It

01:33probably depends on the nature of game five. And whenever you're in a playoff series and

01:38you know, they're starting like Ryan Rollins for a game, for example. And it's like, what's going on

01:44there? Like, why is that happening? You know, Bobby Portis becomes like your third best player,

01:51second best player who I love, but I don't think he should be that necessarily. Gary Trent Jr.

01:56has been playing like really, really well from an efficiency perspective and it hasn't mattered.

02:00Like, yeah, I think Indiana is ready to wrap this up.
