00:00Big doings tonight. The early line. We always got you covered on what's going down. And sometimes, Joe, we just
00:06ask, please extend the series. We love watching. The atmosphere is fun, whether it's dangerous outside or dangerous in the
00:13building. We just want to see great theater. And we're getting that so far. We just talked about the NHL
00:18finals. It's the best of three for the one of the toughest championships you can win in all of sport.
00:24And we're going to watch in the ratings have been there tonight. Madison Square Garden. We could see a 2
00:28-2 series once again here.
00:30If the Spurs win, going back to San Antonio, then we'll see what happens. But we love to watch it.
00:34It's taking place tonight, 8.30 p.m. Eastern.
00:37The San Antonio Spurs fresh off that victory, 115-111 over the Knicks in game number three. They'll try to
00:42do it again tonight. Underdogs, yes, they are. Depending on where you're shopping, you see the graphic. Minus one and
00:48a half to minus two and a half. The total listed at 216 and a half.
00:52The Garden will be rocking, but as I like to say, Joe, the championship trophy will not be in the
00:57building as it would have been if the Knicks had won game number three. Give me a spread line tonight
01:02in the world's most famous arena.
01:05Well, Donnie, I mean, pretty much exactly what we got for game number three, right?
01:10So you're going to hover around that one and a half, two up until tip off, maybe 215 and a
01:16half, 216.
01:17I will tell you, Donnie, that history tells us that game four's fatigue starts to set in a little bit
01:25and defenses tend to get it done.
01:28I believe the average score in game four over the last 11 NBA finals has been right around the 205
01:35mark. So we have not been getting a whole lot of scoring, shall we say, like we did last one.
01:42But will they blow the whistle or won't they blow the whistle?
01:45I mean, a lot of the reason why the game went over in game three, Donnie, was foul shots. If
01:51they don't fall and the defenses are allowed to do what they're doing, I would concentrate on the total.
01:57It's a coin flip on who wins it. I think we all realize that, Donnie. But the total is interesting.
02:03Do we really think we're going to get in the 220s again with these two teams and the way they
02:08play defense?
02:09I think that is the interesting number tonight. Yeah. And also be interesting, Joe, to see how like the referees
02:15handle it. It was really physical in game number three.
02:18And you know what refs can do to start that game off. They get the notes from the league. You
02:22call three ticky tack fouls right off the jump. It's not going to be physical.
02:25You don't call those ticky tack fouls. It turns into a rumble in the jungle. We'll see what happens. But
02:30we will all be watching that game tonight. No doubt about it.
03:02We'll see what happens.
03:02Madison Square Garden and New York City coming together was a pretty good story.
03:07And then overnight, it feels like the narrative shifted where everybody outside of New York City is rooting for the
03:12downfall of the New York fan base here.
03:15And now we hear from Wemby on Spurs fans getting attacked. Let's see what he has to say.
03:21But given your involvement with the fan base in San Antonio, the Jackals, all that, what are your thoughts about
03:27some of these fans getting attacked outside of MSG and Spurs?
03:31Did the fans get attacked?
03:32Yes.
03:33Hmm.
03:37I didn't know that.
03:40But my thoughts, of course, is that, I mean, we can't forget it's a game.
03:49I mean, we're just playing a game out there.
03:54And I am all for, you know, passion.
03:58But to the respect of, to the respect of each other, it's unacceptable.
04:06Remember the War of the Worlds video, Joe, or the movie that came out with Tom Cruise?
04:10Like, as you said, behind the scenes here.
04:12Wemby should call out the boys, which means the aliens coming down from the mothership to handle their business.
04:18That's right.
04:18And show New York City what it's about to become if they keep it up.
04:21Yeah.
04:23Yeah.
04:23I'm still waiting for, like, little green men to come, like, out of his shoulder and somewhere and be like,
04:28that's unacceptable!
04:29And then just start raising hell here.
04:33Listen, it's just not a good scene.
04:36You know, and we're talking about game three.
04:38We're not even talking, like, a game seven.
04:41We're not that any of that is excusable.
04:43But, I mean, come on, man.
04:47It's, the series is far from over.
04:49A lot can still go on.
04:52Just unfortunate situation all around.
04:54And you know what happens, Donnie, right?
04:57Because a few, a few situations, all of a sudden now they're going to ruin it for everybody.
05:02I am sure security and Knick fans are going to have a very hard time in and around Madison Square
05:09Garden here tonight.
05:11Yeah, we're going to get to Josh Hart in just a second.
05:13Let's keep here with Wendy.
05:14Like, there was a minute, Joe, I actually thought he was contemplating saying, like, if you keep it up, fans
05:18out there, beating up Spurs fans, I'm going to continue beating up on Jalen Brunson.
05:23And talking about beating up on Jalen Brunson, the NBA head of officiating, Monty McCutcheon, no relation, I don't think,
05:30to Andrew McCutcheon, stated during the ESPN appearance that a foul should have been called on Wemben Yama after he
05:35pushed Jalen Brunson.
05:35And he's right.
05:36You know, you can't catch everything, but that should have been handled.
05:38Middle of the court, guy goes down.
05:40Something clearly happened at this point, but they missed it.
05:42But I really, like, Wemben Yama, I think he was contemplating, like, okay, well, after the game tonight, win or
05:46lose, I'll be outside the guard.
05:48You want to scrap, we can go.
05:50You know, Wemben, man, he's putting, he's going up notches in my book, Joe.
05:53He is.
05:55Yeah, well, I mean, listen, the problem is all the ridiculousness with the Knicks fans outside of the building.
06:03We were enjoying a villain situation here, right?
06:06Where, you know, Wemben Yama, very difficult team, very tough guy to wrap your head around if you're a Knick.
06:12But now, it's like, somehow you're making this guy out to be, like, the superhero now.
06:18And it's like, what a difference a game makes.
06:21The rollercoaster and the narratives around this series are over the top here, Donnie.
06:28It's crazy.
06:29Let's hear from Josh Hart on being up 2-1 in the series here.
06:33What was the message after yesterday's game in the locker room?
06:400-0.
06:42You know, no matter if we won or lost yesterday, today we came in, did film, got better, learned from
06:50what we could do.
06:53Do this damn circus of the media and then, you know, get shots up and then go to sleep.
06:58So, for us, nothing changes.
07:02I think we're all frustrated with how we played.
07:05You know, specifically me as a leader in terms of energy, physicality, those kind of things.
07:09I didn't do that to the best of my ability.
07:13And, you know, you learn from it.
07:15So, whether we won yesterday or lost yesterday, it would have been the same mentality.
07:21Got to remember, too, like, the Knicks are still up 2-1 with a game in their building.
07:25Slight favorites tonight, favorites to win the series.
07:27The ball, technically, is still in their court here.
07:30But let's also hear from Jalen Brunson on the loss in game number three.
07:34When you got home last night, did it feel like that's a loss and that sucked?
07:39Or did it feel like it's a first loss in 46 days and that felt, it sort of was bad
07:45in a different way?
07:45And what did you feel when you sort of at the end of the night when you had a minute
07:48to take it all in?
07:50Yeah, I think most importantly, saying this last night, win or lose, we're going to come be here today to
07:59understand what we need to do to be better.
08:03And that's our mindset regardless.
08:05Win, we learn.
08:07Lose, we learn.
08:08And we understand what we have to do to be better, given our team, given our chance to have the
08:14ball and not turn it over, stop fouling.
08:18And like I said, just attention to detail and continue to be who we are.
08:22By the way, and we understand why it's done, Joe, right?
08:25Media has to be done after these games, before these games.
08:28You're trying to pump up the game, go as viral as possible, keep the names out there.
08:31And I understand it.
08:32But you see Jalen Brunson in that press conference right there, hoity up over his head, no facial expression, answering
08:38questions like this, Joe.
08:39Hey, man, how'd it feel if you're losing that game?
08:42Come on, man, stop.
08:45Yeah.
08:45In addition to having to answer for the stupidity of some of the fans outside the building after, you know,
08:52listen, the Knicks quietly rattled off 13 straight wins, Donnie.
08:57And in a lot of spots, they weren't expected to do anything, right?
09:01So you don't lose in over, what, close to 45 days, right?
09:05Over 45 days.
09:07Then all of a sudden, you get smacked.
09:09And it's, you know, it is a little deflating.
09:13And now you're expected to win, which is a different animal altogether than what the Knicks have been doing so
09:20far in the postseason.
09:22And also, Joe, it's not like the streak was going up against, you know, Memphis when they're sitting everybody out
09:27every single night.
09:27You're playing the best teams in the NBA and handling their business.
09:30Sooner than later, you're going to lose.
09:32And they did lose in the garden.
09:33And answer questions like, hey, what did you learn from that?
09:35It was a loss.
09:36What do you mean what I learned?
09:37We're going to try to win the next game.
09:38And so we go.
09:39We keep moving at this point, too, Joe, because game four is tonight, as we said, slight favorite towards the
09:44New York Knicks.
09:45I'm interested to see the energy because the one thing we've noted in this series multiple times, Spurs usually tend
09:50to get out the lead.
09:51Then the Knicks closed the door and seemed to get that lead ahead, but the Spurs counterpunched in the second
09:56half and came away with that victory.
09:58That crowd is going to be on fire.
09:59Now, not like, Joe, we would have seen if it was a 3-0 series lead where you can smell
10:03the championship in the building.
10:05I'm very interested to see the first quarter of this game because the Spurs are going to take a deep
10:10breath like, ooh, we got a game.
10:11Like, no, you go back in your own building, 3-1, the series is over anyway.
10:14They got to win this game.
10:16But, Joe, I'm focused on that first quarter tonight.
10:18I am.
10:20Donnie, listen, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
10:23Spurs first quarter, Knicks second quarter.
10:26But the problem is, in this series, this could easily be 2-2, Donnie.
10:32And the Knicks have been playing with fire in this series.
10:36You know, in the second half, outside of the second quarter, San Antonio has dominated in a lot of statistical
10:43categories in every other quarter.
10:46So, the Knicks better play more than just the second quarter if they're going to win this game.
10:52Logos, Joe.
10:53I want to get this in here.
10:54The Chicago Bulls are the only team in NBA history to never change their primary logo since their franchise was
11:00founded in 1966.
11:0260 years, the iconic Bull remains untouched here.
11:05And look at some of those logos that are down there.
11:08Fantastic.
11:08Look at Detroit.
11:09What is the Detroit guy?
11:11Just, like, a huge robot dribbling the basketball?
11:15It's kind of crazy, right?
11:16This is where that whole Mandela effect comes in.
11:18And you're like, wait a minute.
11:19Didn't that used to have a, wasn't it?
11:23You're like, yeah, there is some of them in there, Donnie.
11:26I was like, can we go back to that logo?
11:28Look at that classic Milwaukee Bucks logo.
11:31Love to see it.
11:31As I see here, what do we have there?
11:33The Minneapolis Lakers out there.
11:34Look at the Denver Nuggets guy.
11:36He's got, like, the little, like, you know, sickle hammer in his hand trying to go and find some gold
11:40nuggets out here.
11:41Great stuff across the blue.
11:42But shout out to the Bulls.
11:44Never change.
11:45Keep it real.
11:46The only problem is change that team.
11:48Been a long time since they won, man.
11:49Come on, Bulls.
11:50Maybe it is the logo.
11:51Maybe it's not.
11:53Quick break.
11:54More early line next.
11:56Center stage in more ways than one.
11:59Madison Square Garden tonight.
12:02Midtown Manhattan.
12:03I know a kid who grew up in Midtown Manhattan.
12:05And he's coming up on the show right now.
12:07Donnie Wright said Joe Renier.
12:08It's Kevin Walls.
12:09Still call him a kid.
12:10New York City.
12:11That's his home.
12:12The boroughs, all the same.
12:14No difference between either one of them.
12:16Let's get that info going today, Kev.
12:17How about it?
12:18Yeah.
12:19I don't know.
12:20You, Shane, I'm from Midtown Manhattan.
12:22This is the closest you've been to saying where I live on air in about half a decade.
12:27So it's nice to see a little bit of a flavor change on the way out from you.
12:32By the way, I did get the, yeah, what's the tower called in New York City?
12:36Like, is it Liberty Place?
12:37What is that called?
12:38Like the big tower that they built down there in Midtown?
12:42What's it called?
12:43I don't know.
12:44I went in the summer.
12:45I took the wife and the kid all the way up.
12:47We could see all of New York City.
12:48One trip to the city for pizza.
12:51One trip to the city for pizza.
12:54Like, you get a look of everything here.
12:57And all I did was say, hey, hey, guide over here.
13:01Where's Queens at?
13:02That's over in this direction.
13:03Now, you know what?
13:04Let me see if I can look over that direction and find somebody's house.
13:07But that's the way we get down.
13:09Huge game in the garden tonight, Kevin.
13:11But talk to me about what we're feeling.
13:13Because you get a day to sort of reminisce about the situation.
13:16The Knicks are a slight favor tonight.
13:18You see the graphic, minus one and a half.
13:19Total of 216 and a half.
13:21Questions about, ooh, they're not policing Wendy.
13:23And also, real quick on a story that, Kev, we love from in the past.
13:27Giannis, Anthony Coupo, and Thanasis.
13:29We've always had a running punchline joke.
13:31We love those two.
13:32And the NBA, as we talk about with Joe Waniere, is about ratings.
13:35And it's like, ah, we missed that.
13:36We're not going to call flagrant.
13:38We're not going to suspend the guy.
13:39We're not going to go down that path.
13:40And I always bring up, Thanasis and Giannis are tied at the hip.
13:44Thanasis got COVID.
13:46Protocols the NBA means you're not going to be able to play for at least a week
13:49because you've got to quarantine.
13:50The NBA came out and said, literally,
13:52these two guys weren't together over the past 48 hours.
13:55They don't even see each other.
13:56He is playing.
13:56So, are we getting special dispensation here on Wendy?
13:59And also, what are we looking forward to tonight as well?
14:02Yeah, just in case anybody doesn't know what Donnie's talking about.
14:05But, um, Thanasis Antetokounmpo at the Milwaukee Bucks Championship Parade
14:10is one of the funniest NBA images in the history of, like,
14:15he's just out of a black SUV, like, but staying away from everybody.
14:18Like, yeah, he hasn't seen Giannis since they won the title.
14:22It's a week later.
14:23Um, to the Wemby thing quickly.
14:27It's crazy what they've done to protect him throughout this postseason
14:33from things that he did himself.
14:36Like, you can try and protect Wemby with, like, a whistle, like,
14:39oh, he's getting beat up.
14:40Like, he's elbowing guys in the throat with no fine.
14:44He's skipping post-game press conferences with no fine.
14:49He's mushing Jalen Brunson in the head with no flagrant.
14:56And truly, the only justification is they don't want to have to suspend Wemby
15:05in the same Draymond Green vein of, you're not suspended for one action,
15:10you're suspended for a bunch of actions,
15:14because they think Wemby will end up with another flagrant foul
15:18at some point in this series, but that then, within some level of boundaries,
15:26should give the Knicks carte blanche tonight to get one back.
15:30It's the old, um, what is it, Terry Collins, the Mets manager,
15:34where you gotta let us get ours when they threw at Shea Sutley that next game.
15:38Like, Josh Hart or Mitchell Robinson or Brunson himself.
15:43Oh, Victor Webinyama and Elbow and let the chips fall where they may.
15:50I mean, because it's one thing to do it.
15:52It's another thing for him to do it and also go completely unpunished.
15:58Yeah, it's been the, it's been a theme that we've seen there.
16:02We saw also a, uh, a theme of rock fights in game one and two.
16:06We finally got an over in game three, 11 points, in fact, uh, over.
16:11But this is all about adjustments, right, Gav?
16:15And, and the adjustments that we're likely going to see from both teams tonight
16:18and possibly, and I don't know that the NBA wants any more conversations about refs.
16:24And the easiest way to do that is let them play.
16:27Let, let both of them play and swallow the whistle.
16:30Are we getting another over tonight?
16:33Or do you think, uh, we're going to get a, uh, we're going to get an under here.
16:36It is funny, Joe, that they are simultaneously in a spot where the refs are a conversation
16:43because of bad foul calls and the refs are allowing wrestling during these games.
16:49I don't know how they found that mix, but they have like, they are letting them play every
16:54game.
16:55There are plays like to, I guess, defend Wemby where he is looking like he wants to run
17:01to the top of the screen to set a pick and he's just being hugged and has to like put
17:06like, it's, it's a little crazy as far as the total goes.
17:11I don't know what the San Antonio offense brings to the table because while they didn't get
17:17a superb outside shooting game for maybe any one individual, the Dylan Harper performance
17:23kind of dragged it down and made it look pedestrian.
17:26It was a pretty good night.
17:27And Webb and Yama had an, another really efficient game.
17:32Wemby's had now 26, 29 and 32 in this series.
17:36That is not historically who Victor Webb and Yama has been, you know, in this, in this young
17:41point in his career, it would not stun me if he's under 25 tonight.
17:45And look, I know this will probably sound disrespectful to the Spurs.
17:50I'd be stunned if the Knicks lost this game.
17:53I'd be stunned.
17:54I just think this is as much as I feel like a lot of us, and I don't, I don't
18:01want to
18:01sound like a lot of us in the know knew it was a Spurs spot in game three.
18:05I don't think a lot of us, you know, who do what we do.
18:08We're surprised that the Spurs roared back and got themselves a win in this series.
18:14Game four is a Knicks spot clear as day.
18:17The Knicks haven't lost in 13 straight games.
18:19And a lot of people are out there now running around.
18:21Oh my God.
18:22I guess the Knicks are never going to win another basketball game.
18:24No, I think the Knicks are probably going to go out there and win by 15 points like
18:28they have throughout this winning streak.
18:31I want to ask you one question too, Kevin, because refereeing obviously is going to be a
18:34big part of it in other sports.
18:36Let's just say in hockey, we know it's going to be bad.
18:39We're going to warn both teams.
18:40Then when it starts out, you know, it's going to happen.
18:42You drop the gloves, they give out game misconduct.
18:44You can't even come back onto the ice.
18:45You can't do that in the NBA.
18:47Do we see quick whistles to understand how we're going to officiate this game right off
18:51the back, Kevin?
18:52I enjoy what's been going on the first couple of games, but do you think there's going to
18:55be some tight whistles early to sort of set the tone?
18:57It's what they did following the Nas Reed elbow, Nani.
19:01So it's, but again, like in favor of the Spurs.
19:05So it's, it's very, very interesting to see if that's what we get again here tonight.
19:11We are going to talk, Joe, NBA finals.
19:13We're going to include Stefan Castle in the series and being down in the series here.
19:17Let's go.
19:18I think everybody was feeling good.
19:21You know, I didn't want us to, you know, get too happy about one win and get satisfied
19:27and, you know, take our foot off the gas a little bit for next game.
19:30But, um, I mean, I think, you know, since the end of game two, we've still been confident
19:36that, you know, we're going to win this series and, um, I mean, that's what we plan to do.
19:40And, um, I think we're very connected, you know, as a team and we all want to win.
19:46So, uh, I mean, I think that's just the selflessness that, that runs through our locker room and
19:52it shows every night.
19:54In big spots, Joe, your best players have to play in those big moments.
19:58Carl Anthony Towns on not scoring in that fourth quarter.
20:02Let's hear from him.
20:03Through the series so far, you haven't scored a point yet in the fourth quarter and taken
20:07just six shots.
20:08Is there something that's been different about the fourth, whether, you know, it's later
20:12in the game and there's less energy or how they're playing you than the rest of the series
20:16in which you've been so good so far?
20:18Uh, I think it's a combination, you know, we, we, we, we have a game plan and we want
20:23to execute it.
20:25So just trying to, uh, execute our game plan, especially when we get in the fourth is vital
20:30and, uh, just doing what I can to, to execute it at the highest level.
20:35Go New York, go New York, go Joe game for tonight.
20:38Heard from a couple of players.
20:39Does this season, excuse me, series even up before we head back to San Antonio or the
20:44Knicks take a commanding three, one lead.
20:46If we go to the Kelsey marketplace, the favorites, New York Knicks 53% chance here to win this
20:51basketball game, the San Antonio Spurs 47% tonight, Joe should be a good one in the garden
20:57eight 30 tonight.
20:59Yeah, it's, uh, it's going to be a good one here, Donnie.
21:02I think it's a one that, uh, leads me to believe it's going to be a rock fight, but I
21:07loved what
21:08Mitch Johnson did surrounding web Ayama with a four guard lineup.
21:13I mean, Dylan Harper, Fox vassal castle out there with web Ayama.
21:18That's a lot of shot making going on along with web Ayama there.
21:23So it also seemed to tire Brunson out a little bit, trying to cover all those guys.
21:29I'm wondering what the matchup is going to be tonight.
21:32What is Brown going to do differently?
21:35Any which way, Donnie, I still go back to less points, not more points in this game tonight.
21:40Yeah.
21:40It should be one to watch you play out tonight.
21:42Tip time, eight 30 and away we go.
21:44Come on, Joe, more fun, more action.
21:47PMA on TEL.
21:48It's how we get down to business.
21:49It is a Wednesday and it's hump day.
21:50And tomorrow, as you know, world cup action does start.
21:53Kyle bomb, bringing the heat, some fantastic stuff to look forward to me.
21:56I'm cheering on team USA, but the odds probably aren't in my favor.
22:00When we do talk, Joe, about the odds market, we center right on Madison Square Garden.
22:05Have fun with one of those markets that a lot of people don't look at.
22:08What do you mean, Donnie?
22:10Let's take the Spurs with the points.
22:11How about a total in this basketball game?
22:13How about a points prop?
22:14How about this, Joe?
22:15What will the announcer say during Nick Spurs' professional basketball game?
22:19MVP, travel, injury, alley-oop, Frostbank.
22:23Now, Frostbank is the arena in San Antonio, Joe.
22:28Are they going to say that tonight?
22:30I don't know about that.
22:31Let me go.
22:31Let's see.
22:32Frostbank to the no is 31 cents.
22:35That's plus money.
22:36I don't know if we're saying Frostbank tonight, Joe.
22:38Did it just find a gem?
22:41I'm with you, Donnie.
22:42I'm not sure that's the direction that I would go here.
22:46But I do think that the word buzzer at 61 cents, Donnie, might have some value here because we all
22:57know, you know, at the buzzer and between each end, we're going to get a shot and crazy things happening.
23:03So, I think at 61 cents, that might be some value in this.
23:08How about this one, Joe?
23:09I don't know if there's any value in this, but the word momentum is a 97% yes contract.
23:15So, basically, it's like $100 down, 103 back.
23:19Like, I don't know if I want to put that in, but that seems like a heavy favor.
23:21Like, oh, the Knicks have gained all the momentum tonight.
23:25Feels like that one.
23:28I like it.
23:28Highlight two is another one, Donnie.
23:30I think that's also at 50 cents is an interesting mention here.
23:34One that, again, there's a few of these where you can take a couple of shots.
23:39And, yeah, I think you're going to get more than just a few opportunities to cash some tickets here.
23:47Finals MVP winner.
23:49Correlation markets, Joe.
23:50That's what we talk about.
23:51Who's the leader in the series right now?
23:53Well, it's the Knicks up two to one.
23:54Who's the favorite tonight in game number four?
23:56Well, it's the New York Knicks slightly.
23:57So, in the market for MVP, the favorite, it's Jalen Brunson, 47%.
24:01Victor Webanyama, 37%.
24:04Spurs win tonight.
24:05Regardless of how well Wemby plays, he would be the favorite if this series goes 2-2 tied back up
24:11to San Antonio
24:11because the Spurs will then be favored in that game number five and also in the series.
24:16So, Joe, Carl Anthony Towns, who was trying to be neck and neck with Brunson, he dips way back.
24:21Is there anybody that can win MVP in this series outside of Brunson or Webanyama for you?
24:28Yeah.
24:29For the Knicks, it would be OG Ananobi, I think, who is, nobody seems to have found an answer on
24:37the Spurs for him.
24:38I mean, he is quietly, he's not a very, you know, verbose guy, so, but he is, he is dominating.
24:46He's the only guy that doesn't seem to have to alter his shot because Webanyama's in the paint.
24:50Yeah.
24:50And the other guy, of course, is Steven Castle.
24:53I mean, what else?
24:54You know, he single-handedly carried that team in game three in a must-win situation.
25:01If he keeps up that, he's a guy absolutely you can look at.
25:06And by the way, if we are looking ahead here, Joe, to game number five, which there is automatically going
25:11to be one
25:12since the Spurs won in game number three to at least get the five, the Spurs are going to be
25:16a favorite.
25:17And currently in the Kelsey marketplace, they're trading at a 63% chance to win that game.
25:21I think regardless, to be honest, what happened tonight, I do think game number five is going to go to
25:27the Spurs.
25:27But the question would be, Joe, when to invest on that.
25:30Do you wait because you think the 63% might turn into 66%?
25:34Or do you actually think the New York Knicks, if they win this game number four, are saying, you know
25:39what?
25:39We want to close out game number five, and maybe it should be closer.
25:43Which way do you think this line goes before we can get to game number five?
25:47Yeah, that's the question, right?
25:50And it's tough, Donnie.
25:53I mean, I originally thought that we – I mean, obviously, because you know San Antonio was a big favorite
25:59to begin with, right?
26:01And then the argument can be made that a couple of the final 60, 90 seconds of game one and
26:09game two basically is what cost the very young and inexperienced Spurs team.
26:14Otherwise, this series should be at least 2-2, Donnie, if not 3-0.
26:20So I definitely think the market is going to be looking for reasons to push towards San Antonio.
26:27My wallet would love San Antonio tonight, but just the fandom in me, get me 2-2 series, get me
26:32game six, get me game seven.
26:34Let's have some fun.
26:35And then on the marketplace here, Joe, final series winner, New York, San Antonio.
26:40Of course, New York is the favorite to win the series, currently trading at 63%, San Antonio 38%, obviously getting
26:46a little bit closer since the Spurs won game number three.
26:49This will flip entirely if San Antonio wins tonight, Joe.
26:53So if you think the New York Knicks win, you better take them now because that price point also will
26:58go higher towards the Knicks' favorite.
27:01We mentioned it yesterday with Carolina and the NHL, right?
27:05And we said, you're running out of time to take the dog here.
27:09Carolina started the series as the favorite.
27:12They were under 40 cents while they won, and look at them now.
27:16San Antonio, like you said, Donnie, under 40 cents.
27:19They win tonight.
27:20You ain't getting them at that price anymore the rest of the way.
27:24Absolutely not.
27:25Let's see what happens tonight.
27:26But the best part about this, Joe, we'll be back tomorrow on a Thursday.
27:29More, he and me on TEL.
27:31Enjoy the rest of your day.
