00:00Boston at New York at the Garden on Saturday afternoon, biggest game for the Knicks at home

00:06in a long time, and they're getting five and a half points. Oddsmakers are still telling us

00:10the Celtics are going to wake up. I don't know, Gilbert. Sell me on that at this point. I don't

00:17know. I can't see it. There's two sides of the coin, right? There's a reason why the Knicks were

00:22able to come back from 20 points in back-to-back games. There's also a big reason why the Celtics

00:26have been able to build 20-point leads, and similar to the Cavaliers, the Celtics cannot

00:31fall into a 3-0 series hole. This is a huge game for their title defense. Honestly, their title

00:36defense depends on this game, and I expect them to see that type of effort from them. Now, I don't

00:41know if they'll split these games in New York or not. This is a really, really good road team the

00:45Celtics team is, so I expect them to come out and take care of business just as they were doing before

00:50they blew their leads in Game 1 and Game 2. All right, so I will put you on the spot here. I didn't

00:54do it in the West because that was easy, but look at where Indiana is now from like 10-1

00:59to plus 360 now to win the East. It's wide open with these four teams. Gilbert, do you

01:05still take in Boston right now? I mean, if you're not going to do it, this is your time

01:09to get out. You know, I lean slightly towards Boston. We've seen this happen before. Teams

01:15kind of come back and just bounce back with their backs against the wall, but Indiana's some

01:19good value. They got some luck on their side, and that's worth something in the East.
