00:03 Plus 250 is four games.
00:06 The favorite right now still plus odds at five games at 130.
00:10 I mean, Kyle, I don't know, something tells me that this is going more than five and
00:14 maybe this game six or game seven is the value there.
00:17 I feel like Indiana is not getting enough credit.
00:21 I think they've got a chance to win their home games.
00:24 Do you feel like that or no?
00:25 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:27 >> I do agree with you.
00:28 I actually think that as disheartening as that loss is, and
00:31 you feel like if you're a Pacers fan or on the Pacers,
00:34 you feel like you had that game stolen from you.
00:37 You should have been up 1-0 in the series, stealing one in Boston.
00:40 But at the same time, there's a lot of positives to take away from that because
00:45 they presented some serious mismatches for the Celtics on defense.
00:49 Without Kristaps Porzingis in the lineup,
00:51 they were able to exploit guys like Al Horford, able to exploit guys like Luke
00:55 Bennett, and if Porzingis isn't gonna be back until at least game four,
00:59 that gives the Pacers a little bit of a runway to continue to exploit those
01:03 mismatches.
01:03 And I know Joe Mazzullo made some adjustments, but
01:06 it feels like they found something there in that high ball screen pick and roll.
01:10 Getting Tyrese Haliburton downhill,
01:11 it really got Miles Turner going from the perimeter.
01:14 And that's gonna pose a threat to Boston over the next couple of games until
01:18 Porzingis can get back.
01:19 So I said Celtics in six at the beginning of the series because of Porzingis'
01:23 uncertainty.
01:24 I'm gonna hold true to that, especially after the way the Pacers played last night,
01:27 and I'm gonna keep it at Celtics in six.
