00:03 Boston Celtics, the only team to reach the 40 win benchmark prior to the break,

00:07 and they have three more than 40.

00:09 It's a 43 and 12 record for the Seas.

00:12 Boston's first game following the All-Star break, 8.5 point road favorite

00:16 in Chicago against the Bulls, the over under 226.

00:20 We often talk, Donnie, about reading lines in college basketball,

00:25 where motivation is a little bit easier to throw into the handicap and

00:29 conference games between rivals as a home team is an underdog or

00:33 whatever it might be.

00:35 I think this is a strong Seas line for a reason as well.

00:39 >> No, it certainly is too, and you take a look at that anticipated starting

00:41 lineup, which is full go, Holiday White, Brown, Tatum, and Porzingis.

00:45 But sometimes it needs to be said, and

00:46 we talked about this with the Milwaukee Bucks earlier in the show with Giannis

00:49 Antonacopo, basically giving those interviews, like I can't wait to get back

00:53 to work, like we're finally through it.

00:55 Once you get past the All-Star break, there is no tomorrow.

00:58 As we like to say, you're either in it to win it or

00:59 you're gonna fade down the stretch.

01:01 And I expect big things from the Celtics.

01:03 You don't wanna start out of the break with a loss or maybe stumble.

01:06 You give some other teams hope, like the Milwaukee Bucks,

01:08 that they might be able to chase down the Boston Celtics for

01:11 that number one overall seed.

01:12 I'm with you on this one.

01:13 This should be a double digit victory for the Boston Celtics.

01:16 Because if we take a look at both of these teams, are the Bulls saying, hey,

01:19 now's our chance to get into the playoffs and do some damage?

01:22 No, they're not doing that.

01:23 But the Boston Celtics, yeah, they're saying, let's solidify our number one seed

01:26 here, and it starts tonight.
