All right. What do you think of what the Knicks are doing and are they in trouble tonight after
00:06
they pulled off the miracle the other night? But you know, all I've heard is how on a Celtics shot,
00:12
but what I saw, you know, I was cussing, jumping up and down. I've been suffering with the Knicks
00:17
for 30 years. That was the best game I've seen of a Knicks game as a fan of theirs since I've
00:23
lived in New York City. I mean, literally my entire career here, I've never seen a game that
00:28
I liked more to watch. That comeback was amazing. Scotty Carver, hi, you'd be proud of me.
00:36
I played when the Knicks were down 20. I threw 10 bucks on the money line, turned 10 into 130.
00:42
It's one of those, I wish I would have put more on it, right? But I would have jinxed it at that
00:46
point, right? Threw a little 10 spot on it and they made the comeback. I was like, is this really
00:49
going to happen? It did. So look, man, are they in trouble tonight is how you started this
00:55
conversation? I don't think so. Like my whole deal is, you know, Boston's laying 10 and a half,
01:00
10, 11, whatever the number is right now. I, the pattern historically is great home team
01:07
loses game one, game two, it's a 20 point beat down every single time. I just, I can't do that
01:13
to the Knicks. They're too good. They're too gritty. I don't think they're going to be sort of in that,
01:19
oh, well, we got one. We did what we came to do. I don't think they think that way. I don't think
01:24
they're wired that way, Scotty. So I don't, I don't think they're just going to let go of the rope and
01:29
go, all right, we already got our one. We'll just go back to New York at 1-1. That's just not how
01:34
these guys are wired. So I'm live betting this game. I am not, I don't, I also don't feel great
01:39
about taking the 10 with New York because Boston may bludgeon them tonight. I want to check the
01:44
tenor of New York. How greedy are they? How bad-ass are they? How motivated are they tonight
01:49
knowing that they've already got home court advantage back? So that's how I'm approaching
01:53
this game. I definitely don't think the Knicks are in trouble. I think they are a live dog once
01:57
again here tonight. Denver pulled it off in game one at Oak City. They're at the PACOM again tonight.
02:04
Gordon's been spectacular and a couple of game-winning shots against the Clippers. And then the other night,
02:09
the three ball on the wing, they're tough. Nobody can stop Joker. Everyone around him,
02:15
including Brown, is a better player because he's on the floor. He had a 42-22 burger with extra sauce
02:21
on it. What do you think of the Nuggets here giving the Thunder problems?
02:28
We could copy and paste a lot of what I said about New York and Boston to this. Historically,
02:34
OKC, well, first of all, they're the best team in the league. And I think, I don't think it's
02:38
debatable. It's debatable, will they beat Boston if they play in the finals? That's debatable.
02:43
To me, it's not debatable who the best team in the league is this year. It's OKC. So they lose
02:48
game one to Denver. Why? Because Denver is a fantastic team. And they've got championship DNA.
02:56
And they have been head up with OKC for like the last five years. This year in the regular,
03:00
it was 2-2. It was like 8-8 over the previous 16 meetings. So Denver's like, OKC, fine, bring them on.
03:08
Other teams are like, oh my god, OKC, all their defenders. And Denver's like, who cares? So what?
03:13
So that's really, really powerful here. And it's keeping me from going back to that historical
03:19
pattern. The badass team loses game one. Game two at home is a thrashing. It's a boat racing.
03:25
But I can't do Denver that way. If they were just a team, if this was Houston or Memphis,
03:32
maybe even Minnesota, because I don't trust their psyche in Minnesota,
03:37
like I'd be playing OKC like three units going into the game. I wouldn't even play the
03:43
sort of live betting cop-out card on you. I'd be totally bullish going in. But because it's Denver
03:49
with the championship DNA. And again, I am going to this game. I'm going to check the tenor and pulse
03:54
of the nugs. How serious are they about this game too? OK. And then you diagnose the moment of truth
04:01
and you make your live betting decision. But I can't just blindly and butt naked go, yeah,
04:08
I'll lay 11 with Oklahoma City after what I saw the other night. Because I saw Denver
04:13
take a major punch from OKC and punch right back and win the game.
