00:00Boston tonight in game number four six and a half point favorite on the road inside the Mecca

00:05total stands at 208 and a half. How has this series shifted Vecchio in your mind and what

00:12does it mean for game number four? You know if I'm going to give this like a percentage I think

00:17we're we're looking at like a 55 percent chance that the Celtics win the series before tonight's

00:22game. If they tie it up I'm going to jump down all the way up to like 80 90 percent like this

00:26is a literal must-win game for the Knicks. I really do think so especially after what we saw and it's

00:31more importantly how the Celtics won. What was the story in the first two games? Celtic oh they're

00:35not shooting they're not hitting threes they're taking a billion threes that are not shooting

00:38to be specific over the first two games they were 25 of 100 and the point being is that they were

00:43going to see positive regression at us at some point right it may not have happened in one game

00:47sample size it would happen over enough games and the fact that they got it going in game three is

00:52obviously a very very concerning sign for the Knicks like the floodgates have opened for the

00:57Celtics offense so the Knicks need to come away with a win because if they get that third win

01:02tonight they have enough chances okay they'll lose the game they'll win a game whatever it might be

01:06over the next few but they have a chance to like kind of scratch it out if they lose tonight I think

01:11the Celtics get it done in six a full reverse sweep which is what we spoke about a couple days ago

01:14on Friday when I was here so I think there's a literal must-win and when it comes to a player prop for

01:19tonight I think it has to be Tatum go to Tatum over 15 and a half rebounds plus assists I love the fact

01:26that we're seeing a ton of rebounds from 16 14 and 9 in the first three games the assists if

01:30everyone's hitting threes around him the assists will start to pile up he already had six five and

01:34seven of the first three games so he can get there on rebounds alone and people are hitting shots around

01:38him he'll get the assists
