00:00the indiana pacers coming all the way back to beat the knicks in game number one of the eastern
00:05conference finals 138 135 in overtime vecchio as you're sitting there watching the game last night
00:13the knicks up by 17 with over six minutes remaining in regulation up 14 with 245 left
00:20in regulation up eight with about 34 ticks remaining in regulation in the late game drama
00:26from aaron neesmith and of course tyrese halliburton what was your reaction to what we saw last night
00:32inside the world's most famous arena well ultimately i don't think my takes are dramatic
00:38or any different than you would hear anywhere else like you got to the end of the game and the knicks
00:42look tired i mean that is pretty evident and you know this whole thing of like rest versus rust we
00:47always can have that conversation but my takeaways from the game start early where the team started
00:52off what were they seven of seven combined eight of eight combined just starts like a lot a lot of
00:57scoring really really early and then obviously we saw the knicks pulled away and then the pacers kind
01:01of punched back and obviously had this dramatic ending but the efficiency from both teams way way
01:06too high than why what i was ultimately expecting now i was here on monday talking about that i did
01:11like the over 223 and we got there we got the earned regulation so we didn't need to get there in
01:15overtime but the defensive changes have to come through early they can't allow the both either team
01:20to get off to a super hot start and then they obviously need to tighten things up like neesmith
01:23shooting five three six threes late in the game the defensive assignments need to be taken care of
01:28and like josh hart slipped a couple times and i don't want to like blame it on that but they need
01:33to tighten up on defense on both sides whether it's the drop coverage or whatever changing that needs
01:37to be fixed so i don't mind waiting because 227 is a big adjustment from 223 i don't mind waiting to
01:43see how the game starts and then playing it live whether there's great defense we can jump in a live
01:47under or there's a lot of scoring hey we just got to roll with this the first few games there's
01:51going to be points points points changes have been made here also top of the fan blue sports book on
01:56the series outlook now coming in as a favorite around a minus 145 price or so in the favor of
02:01the new york knicks after that game one loss which was an excruciating loss and now the pacers wind up
02:06a minus 166 live price on the fan blue sports book is it buy-in time on the new york knicks around
02:12that plus 140 price dog yeah i think that's the way to play like if you do not have a ticket on this
02:18series whatever it might be obviously you don't want to trust the knicks you're not laying minus 230
02:22on the money line you don't want to live minus five and a half considering the late game collapse
02:26that they just had you could honestly play the knicks on the series and then you're working with
02:31something you could then get the pacers coming back in game three if the knicks do tie it up like
02:35this is a good spot and i talk about taking the pacers uh series price on batr last saturday it's like
02:41listen they're going to come away with one of the first two games you can play them there and then
02:45you'll have some flexibility as the series moves on i think it's totally fine to take the knicks at
02:48this point a historic comeback for indiana but i still feel like we all believe this is probably
02:54going to see at least six if not seven games going the entire distance here in the eastern conference
