00:03 - So frustrating with the NBA to cap it
00:05 earlier in the day like this,
00:06 but game of couches in my eyes,
00:08 speaking of the revolving door,
00:10 Halliburton's back tonight for the Pacers.
00:12 - Yeah.
00:13 - And we were talking about,
00:14 you cannot overemphasize what he means, right?
00:18 To like, he's like my homes to the Pacers.
00:22 Like he just, he runs everything
00:24 and they're really good when he's there.
00:26 Like without him, it's suddenly now
00:28 we're kind of a scrub team again, right?
00:31 But you put this guy on the team,
00:32 it's like, oh, we're dynamic, right?
00:34 Like he's that good.
00:35 Boston have been struggling a little bit, Carver,
00:37 if you realize, notice, you know what I mean?
00:39 Lot of battles, they had to come back
00:41 last night actually too.
00:43 They had to battle back last night against the Pelicans.
00:45 I think the number's too high here at eight.
00:47 I'm also gonna play the over.
00:49 You're not gonna hit every Pacer over
00:51 and the totals are always high,
00:53 but there is a difference with Halliburton
00:55 on the floor as well.
00:56 They run this super quick tempo.
00:58 So, and they don't stop anybody as well.
01:01 So I'm looking at over 245 and a half here, Carver.
01:04 I'll roll the dice with the Pacers as underdogs.
01:07 Love what this Knick team is doing.
01:09 I'm on the wagon.
01:10 I think they can compete in the playoffs.
01:13 I don't know if they're gonna make it to the finals,
01:14 but there'll be a tough out type of deal.
01:16 But people don't talk about the Utah Jazz, bro.
01:19 Utah Jazz are a good basketball team.
01:21 Like they just are.
01:23 They got a bunch of dudes that aren't supposed to be there.
01:25 They're buying time and everybody's available
01:28 on the market type of deal.
01:29 Yet they just keep winning and covering
01:31 and winning and covering.
01:33 I think tonight we have a close game with the Utah Jazz.
01:36 The Jazz, the players, the Knicks, of course,
01:39 they're beat up right now.
01:40 They're far from 100%.
01:42 The Hornets blow, so they're able to get by.
01:44 I'm talking to Knick players and other players in the NBA
01:48 when I was doing the show across the street from the arena.
01:50 I got a chance to talk to NBA guys.
01:52 Everybody gets fired up, Carver, for MSG.
01:54 They do.
01:55 You play for the Utah Jazz, you're in New York, baby.
01:59 You just do.
02:00 You're happy, you're going to stores
02:01 that aren't in Salt Lake.
02:02 You're fired up, you got some watch.
02:04 You're excited all year.
02:06 I've gone to that jeweler, man.
02:07 I'm picking up a watch, I'm getting a chain,
02:09 and I'm going off for 30.
02:11 You know what I'm saying?
02:13 They get fired up.
02:14 So give me the Utah Jazz tonight.
02:16 Raptors and Bulls, the Raptors are a train wreck
02:18 who are good, but lose every game.
02:21 They have good players, but it's just not working for them.
02:24 They're sort of in this reload.
02:26 I still think they hang around tonight
02:27 with the 6 1/2, so I think we got a big dog night tonight.
02:30 Give me the Raptors plus 6 1/2, the Jazz plus 4 1/2,
02:33 the Pacers plus eight,
02:34 and the Pacers Celtics over 245 1/2,
02:37 and I've got some college picks as well.
02:39 (upbeat music)
02:41 (bells chiming)
