00:00Well, where does this series go from here, and how do the two sides respond?
00:04Can Indiana ride the momentum?
00:06And what do the Knicks do to recuperate and get ready for game number two inside MSG tomorrow night?
00:13Here's both head coaches after that stunner in game number one.
00:16Coach, what do you do going into game two Friday to bounce back from this?
00:21What do you tell your guys to put this behind them?
00:24Yeah, the same thing.
00:25You know, like there's a lot of emotional highs and lows in the playoffs.
00:30You've got to bounce back quickly.
00:32You look at the film, make your corrections, get ready for game two.
00:35And that's, you know, when you go into the playoffs, you lay out the plan of how you're going to approach the entire playoffs.
00:41This is day one of 13 days.
00:45And remarkable resilience by our guys, hanging in, finding a way to get the thing to overtime, and then made enough plays.
00:55But it's a long series.
00:56We're not going to get too excited about this.
00:58We've got things to clean up.
01:00They've got things to clean up.
01:02You know, game two is going to be another war.
01:05Game two tomorrow night, DRS, inside Madison Square Garden.
01:09Rip off the Band-Aid and right back into action.
01:12Still in a series, despite Indiana stealing game number one inside MSG in the manner that they did with the historic comeback that we expect to still go the distance.
01:22But the big change in the series odds, of course, the Pacers now a series outright favorite at minus 168.
01:30It was New York as the ever so slight favorite at minus 144, of course, entering game number one last night.
01:37Absolutely.
01:38And that's what we anticipated.
01:39And also, the Pacers were getting a lot of respect coming into this series.
01:41This wasn't a, oh, it's minus 275 Knicks, which you might see in an Eastern Conference final with a team that's going to be favored and have home court advantage.
01:48You're looking at under the minus 150 price point.
01:50So you knew if the Pacers were able to steal home court advantage, which they did with that win yesterday, they would be the favorites here.
01:57And now they can really put their foot on the gas pedal if they can win game number two in Madison Square Garden tomorrow night.
02:03And that place certainly will be jumping.
02:05But understand this, what you heard from the coaches, you can't get too high or low.
02:08And also talking about, you know, this is day one of a 13-day series, which is important to understand of how long the series probably will go and the expectations for the Pacers going like,
02:17oh, that's day number one of an eight-day series.
02:20Oh, they expect this PPR.
02:22No, they understand this.
02:23They got away with one.
02:24They won it.
02:25Let's not get too high.
02:26Let's focus on game number two.
02:27But understand this.
02:29We're probably going the distance in this series.
02:31DRS, the New York Knicks, now an underdog in this series in the Eastern Conference Finals.
02:36So some value buyback spots on New York.
02:39Getting a game and a half in that series spread now.
02:42If the Knicks even force a seventh game, if this series goes the distance, you cash that ticket.
02:47Or the Knicks, of course, can win this series outright, which is obviously still certainly out there.
02:52A slight change in the shortest amount of total games entering game number one around a plus 178 price.
03:00We thought this would go seven, plus 176, the slightly shorter number for it to end in six.
03:06It tracks, right?
03:07That would be back in Indianapolis.
03:09The Pacers have taken home floor advantage from the Knicks.
03:13But game seven is only 14 cents behind that game six price at plus 190.
03:19Game number two tomorrow night.
03:22Friday night Knicks inside Madison Square Garden.
03:25The Knicks a five-and-a-half-point favorite in the total, up by five points in full to 227 now, live on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
03:37So, of course, DRS, the odds makers understanding the significance of New York earning a split on their home floor despite the despair at the end of regulation and OT in game number one.
03:49And also understand this.
03:50Just because you need to win doesn't mean that you are going to win at this point.
03:54Understand that the Indiana Pacers aren't taking this as, okay, mission accomplished.
03:58Let's head back one-to-one by the time we get on our home court at Cambridge Fieldhouse.
04:02They don't want that.
04:02They want 2-0.
04:03They don't even want to come back to New York at this point right now.
04:06They have the chance and opportunity possibly to do that.
04:09But if you are saying, all right, how do you want to bet this, like, game number two here?
04:12I do think the New York Knicks win.
04:14Same time I thought the New York Knicks would win last night and cover easily, which they should have, and they folded up in the fourth quarter.
04:19Just give me the Knicks in the first half because the energy in the building will be there.
04:23The stakes, what the Knicks understand, are needed to know where it's like we just have to win this basketball game.
04:28If you're telling me the Knicks aren't up at the half, they're going to be down 2-0 heading back to Indianapolis.
04:33I do ā I honestly believe that.
04:35So, for me, from a betting perspective, do I think the Knicks win and cover 5-1ā2?
04:38Yes, I do.
04:39But if you're going to give me, what, like minus 3-1ā2, minus 4 in the first half, the Knicks better be up double digits by the half,
