00:00Celtics in town to take on the Knicks.
00:02Jason Tatum, last time he was on that court,
00:03didn't work out so well.
00:05Devastating injury.
00:05And this year, we might have been thinking like,
00:07hey, Boston, probably smart to tank it,
00:09get a high draft pick, and then reload for the next year.
00:11Not the case.
00:12The favorite, though, the Knicks tonight in the garden,
00:14four and a half to fives are where we're shopping at.
00:17Yeah, you know, it's funny.
00:20You're like, oh, this is going to be one of the good games.
00:22Is it?
00:23Because I'm looking at the Celtics injury report.
00:26It's every starter other than Tatum.
00:28And Boston plays tomorrow.
00:31So, again, the NBA, the NBA has no idea how possibly
00:37the Celtics could punt tonight's game
00:39and just win the game tomorrow against New Orleans
00:41because they keep setting up national TV back-to-backs.
00:45And if you're Boston, why bother, right?
00:49Why?
00:49I think they've already lost the tiebreaker with the Knicks.
00:53It makes no difference.
00:54The Celtics are one win away from being not only deadlocked
00:58into the two-seed in the East, but the fourth-best record overall in basketball.
01:02Nobody in the West could catch them.
01:04They can't catch San Antonio or Oklahoma City.
01:07So, for me, now here's the thing, though.
01:10Because it's Boston, I'd rather let them bench everyone other than Tatum.
01:14This number closed like nine and a half and then take Boston plus the points.
01:18The one thing you may want to get ahead of, if I'm right about these injuries,
01:22Tatum double-double minus 105, Tatum triple-double 10-to-1,
01:26Tatum 30-plus 2-to-1.
01:28I do think it looks like it might just be Tatum out there on his own tonight.
