00:00The Pacers' backs are to the wall.

00:03Do we have the numbers for Game 6 tomorrow night?

00:07I've seen it, you know, everywhere, basically, what, 6.5?

00:12You know, 6.5, 221.5, 8.30 on ABC.

00:16What do you think?

00:17Can the Pacers survive another game and force Game 7 back in Oak City?

00:24I was thinking earlier, Scott, that they were going to win outright,

00:26but now with the Halliburton news and the way Oklahoma City is playing

00:30and closing out games, I find the point spread to be very interesting, though.

00:34Like, it's a good number, right?

00:35Because, like, 5, you're thinking free throws at the end of the game,

00:38but 6.5, it's kind of interesting.

00:40What do you think?

00:40I think maybe the Pacers lose by 5 or 6.

00:43Like, I kind of agree with the computer prognostication there,

00:46but I think Oklahoma City will probably get it done.

00:49But the problem is, down the stretch, they could pull away.

00:52Remember when they won by 7, right?

00:57So, that was in Indy.

01:00They won by 7.

01:01That was some big ass with Scott Foster and the technicals and all the other crap.

01:05That game got fishy at the end.

01:07Very fishy.

01:08But I had Oak City and I covered 6.5.

01:11It's the same number.

01:13This time, I say they, right now, today, I say they don't cover.

01:17I think the Pacers are going to throw the sink at them, and it's not going to matter.

01:22Halliburton, obviously, is going to affect the game in some capacity,

01:26but everyone else has to step up.

01:29Naismith, Nebhardt, I think, have basically been bunk,

01:34and I think McConnell's been incredible, and Siakam.

01:37I think they, you said it best, Turner was dreadful.

01:41They have to get everyone else, including Obi-Wan Kenobi, involved.

01:45And, you know, I got to tell you, who's this other guy they keep playing?

01:49Bradley, whatever his name is.

01:50Is that the guy's name?

01:52He's terrible.

01:54Yeah, no, that's a real stiff.

01:55You're right, Scott.

01:56But the thing about Turner is, too, it's like you're getting 16, 14.

02:00The guy goes 0 for 5 from three-point land, 1 for 6.

02:03Like, dude, you hit a couple of these shots.

02:05These are game-changing.

02:07So, you got to improve those numbers if you're going to take those deep bombs.

02:10But I'm with you.

02:11McConnell's been grinding.

02:12And you know what, Scott, I love about Siakam?

02:14He's consistent.

02:15He's always going to get between 19 and 24, usually.

02:18That's the thing, and the props are right on with him.

02:20But I think Siakam's going to have a big game, probably get about 26 for Indiana.

02:24I think Bradley's terrible.

02:26I think, actually, Thomas Bryant plays more physically, gets involved banging,

02:31hammering, and quality fouls.

02:33You got to do something to keep them out of the low block.

02:38Yes.

02:38And easy layups and kisses off the glass.

02:41And that guy, Bryant, will break your nose.

02:43And then Shepard, they don't even, like, that guy, he's, like, not even getting burned.

02:49If this guy's injured, they have to have, in my view, all hands on deck.

02:53All right.

02:54So, we've seen the spread.

02:56Now, these series odds is still, look at this, heavy D.

03:01This is what we, Gabe and I talked about this.

03:03If there's a way the Pacers can find a way, Scott, 12-1.

03:09Say they miraculously win the game.

03:11They just dig deep.

03:12They get it done.

03:13They win.

03:14You got that in your back pocket for the final game.

03:16Like, you can't be laying that with Oklahoma City.

03:18That's just stupid.

03:19Like, you can't even find nine parlay pieces to go with it.

03:22So, if you like the Pacers to win, get that in your back pocket.

03:25You could do a lot of things with Game 7.

03:27But it's asking a lot.

03:29But 12-1 is a great price.
