00:00New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs, a rematch from 1999. In that series, the Spurs
00:06got the better of the Knicks, four to one. Will that take place? We'll find out. And who will be
00:11that NBA champion? It starts tonight, minus four and a half point spread here. Spurs are a favorite
00:15total, 218 and a half, Joe. Pretty even ticket count, numbers coming down a little bit lower
00:21from that five and a half to four and a half here, Joe. Knicks Spurs tonight. I'm really interested
00:25to see how the New York Knicks come out with this long layoff here, rested and ready. Is that going
00:31to be a good thing? Or is that going to be a bad thing tonight, Joe, you think? Well, that's
00:35going
00:35to be, that's the kicker, right, Donnie? Because it's a very unique situation. And I think it's
00:41going to be fascinating to see how this plays out. Again, you've got a Knicks team that hasn't lost
00:46since April. And then you've got, you know, they, but they haven't played since the 25th of May.
00:51And every team that they've played, it feels like along the way is coming out of some sort of seven
00:55game war in the previous series. So, you know, they are, they are certainly the fresher team.
01:02The legs will be there. The rust is a legit factor. It certainly was in game one against Cleveland,
01:08but at the same time, they did have a 22 point comeback there in the fourth quarter with seven
01:14minutes to go. We know what they're capable of, but I do think this is a different animal here with
01:19the Spurs. They're on the road and the Knicks didn't exactly have a great record all year round on
01:24teams over 500. So I think we're going to learn a lot here tonight between these two teams.
