00:00The Philadelphia 76ers, Joe, were up in Boston on Saturday night and got a 109-100 victory,
00:05vanquishing the demons since 1982, the last time the Sixers actually knocked out the Boston Celtics
00:11in a playoff series. Now they head to New York to take on the New York Knicks, who are rested
00:16and are favored by 7.5 points tonight. The total in this one, 2-12.5. Joel Embiid and the
00:22Sixers
00:22gave it everything they had to come back in a 3-1 series. Is there enough energy left in the
00:26tank
00:27roughly 48 hours later to play the New York Knicks show? What's the spread line tonight
00:32between those Sixers and the New York Knicks? Well, there was some questions about whether
00:37Embiid would go in here, and he's already been cleared. He is going now. And listen,
00:43we have seen this in years past where you get hot at the right time, and it has been a
00:49long road for
00:50the 76ers, but you got now all of a sudden Paul George playing at the level everyone thought
00:57he was capable of when they got him 9,000 years ago. Embiid appears to be healthy enough to give
01:03this thing a go. You got Maxie, you got Edgecombe, and yet the market doesn't care because this thing
01:08opened up at 5.5. It's now 7.5, and the Knicks have been twirling their thumbs over the last
01:13three
01:13days waiting to see if it was the Celtics or the Sixers they would be playing. So I think it's
01:20an
01:20interesting line move early with the 76ers not getting a whole lot of love coming off of game
01:26seven. But this is a totally different animal than the Atlanta Hawks here. So it would not shock me
01:33if this is much closer than Knicks fans are going to like here at the end of the day.
