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.
