00:03 Let's start off with the game tonight between Toronto and
00:07 Indiana, the Pacers six and a half point favorites.
00:10 They are at home.
00:11 And of course, whenever Indiana plays,
00:13 you know the total is gonna be super high.
00:15 It is again tonight, 246 in an NBA game.
00:18 This is not the All-Star game,
00:19 it's a regular season game with a total of 246.
00:23 Gilbert, the Raptors, I mean, I don't know what we thought they
00:27 were gonna be at the beginning of the season.
00:29 I think it's fair to say they've been disappointing.
00:30 I mean, they're 15 games under 500.
00:32 They're not gonna make the playoffs,
00:33 they're shooting for next year.
00:35 But this is a team, again, we've seen over the course of a week or
00:38 two that they pull off these very strange upsets at times.
00:41 Can they do that again tonight in Indiana?
00:44 >> I think one thing the Raptors have done this year is they've set their mind and
00:49 they've set an identity, right?
00:50 They've gotten rid of some of the guys who were there,
00:53 trading OG Anovy and trading Pascal Siakam, who's now with the Pacers.
00:57 And now they're focused on the future.
00:58 And in doing so, I think that's helped them kinda understand what they wanna do
01:01 on a night-to-night basis.
01:02 They do have a rest advantage, the Pacers played last night.
01:05 And actually put forth a pretty good defensive effort against the Mavericks.
01:08 The Pacers are playing good basketball, but
01:10 as you mentioned, the Raptors have played a little bit better.
01:12 They actually just took this Pacers team down to the wire a few weeks ago.
01:16 They've won two games in a row since then.
01:18 So I'm actually expecting a pretty close game just because the way these two teams
01:22 match up, the fact that the Pacers played a game last night, and
01:26 the Raptors are starting to figure out their identity a little bit more now that
01:29 their roster's a little bit more straightforward.
01:31 So it should be an entertaining game in Indiana.
01:33 The storyline's there, and the talent's definitely there.
