00:00
All right, so tonight we have game two at the Rocket with the Pacers up one.
00:08
And I got to tell you, with Mobley and with Hunter and with Garland
00:13
and the injuries that they have, I cannot fathom they're getting eight.
00:18
And they can play with the Cavs even if they're playing.
00:22
I don't understand this at all.
00:24
I think they might steal another one.
00:26
They actually have a chance to steal another one.
00:29
But my best bet in regards to plays in this matchup is I'm taking the Pacers team total over one ten and a half.
00:36
Why over eight of the last nine games, five out of six versus Cleveland.
00:40
And if you think they're playing, they play fast now.
00:44
If they're missing two to three guys, and I'm Rick Carlisle, and I know I'm deeper than you, I'm going to run.
00:51
Give me the Pacers team total over one ten and a half.
00:53
Next, if I think they're going over, I got to find a guy.
00:56
Let's go to the bench, TJ McConnell.
00:58
We love this guy.
00:59
Over six and a half points.
01:00
Over 11 out of the last 15.
01:02
Six out of eight.
01:03
This guy will get up and down.
01:04
He had seven here tonight.
01:05
Why did they sit him down?
01:07
Why did they not play him in the second half?
01:10
Because they could just, you know what the thing about Carlisle?
01:12
He just rolls out guys.
01:14
He just rolls out guys, and he finds combinations that work.
01:17
Isn't that cat a big part of it?
01:19
He plays a lot more than that.
01:20
Yes, he does play a lot of part in that.
01:22
And I think he can get seven points in the first half easy.
01:25
I ain't worried about him.
01:26
I think he's going to be able to get it.
01:27
Now, who's going to step up now is Jared Allen.
01:31
Right?
01:31
Jared Allen, double-double.
01:34
If you don't have Mobley, even if you have Mobley, Mobley's compromised.
01:38
See that number?
01:38
Is that minus 160?
01:40
That thing has moved about 50 cents in the last couple hours.
01:43
Like, people know that probably means you're probably not getting Mobley back.
01:48
If you're finally close to 150, you want to take a little bit more juice?
01:51
Minus 160, Jared Allen will get a double-double tonight.
01:53
He's needed.
01:54
So, the line went to seven and a half already tonight before this game.
01:58
Who do you like in terms of – I know those are your best bets.
02:02
Fair enough.
02:03
Who do you like in this game legit straight up with the seven and a half, eight?
02:07
I got it at eight.
02:08
And then, who do you like in the Golden State-Minnesota game?
02:11
And it's six and a half and two, ten and a half at the target in Minneapolis
02:14
against, I think, a team that's just flat out way better than them.
02:18
I mean, way better.
02:20
I think they're deeper and better and more talented than the Warriors.
02:23
To me, the Warriors are still a three-headed monster, frankly.
02:27
And I think the – for me, the T-Wolves are eight, eight, nine deep.
02:32
Yeah.
02:32
So, really quick.
02:33
I think the Cavs will steal it close.
02:37
So, I would be willing to take the points with Indiana.
02:40
But I would not be shocked if they won it, if all those guys are out.
02:43
Let's head out, Wes.
02:44
Well, I like the T-Wolves minus seven points.
02:46
I want people to understand and explain this to me,
02:49
because I need someone to understand it to me.
02:51
The Warriors have the same issues that the Lakers have.
02:57
And the Lakers were better than Golden State.
03:00
And you think that this is going to be a series?
03:02
T-Wolves minus seven points.
03:04
I also think this thing goes five games.
03:06
It ain't getting much worse than that.
03:09
Draymond Green over four and a half assists.
03:11
Over two straight three and a five versus two rules.
03:13
He has to be the distributor, because I think they flood Curry,
03:17
especially with Jaden McDaniels guarding him.
03:20
And then the pride of Asbury Park.
03:23
The best thing to come out of Asbury.
03:25
There he is.
03:25
Since Bruce Springsteen.
03:27
Nasty Nas Reed.
03:28
Over ten and a half points.
03:30
Over nine out of the last 16 games.
03:32
Three and a five versus Golden State.
03:34
Other two games got the nine and ten.
03:36
If they go small, they go Nas.
03:39
Nas gets busy over ten and a half points.
