Indiana has young legs, a great coach, and had a great game plan in game one. 6:18 ... Ross and Bruce discussed Myles Turner's huge 18 point first half but were mystified that the Pacers stopped giving him the ball in the second half and he finished with just 23. 7:34 ...

Bruce asked the guys about the discrepancy in free throw opportunities (30-10 in Boston's favor) ... Ross had no issue with the whistle and didn't feel there any real issues with the calls. 16:41 ...

Live commercial read for Bet Online. 1:26 ... Ross tees up the discussion of the Pacers winning game 7 against the Knicks on Sunday. 3:56 ... Bruce felt that nobody could have anticipated the way the Pacers offense performed. 6:02 ... World B has a stat on Indiana's offense on Sunday that is remarkable. 6:50 ... Ross delivers flowers to TJ McConnell, whose play off the bench was a huge factor for Indiana. 7:31 ... Ross tees up a discussion previewing the Pacers/Celtics series and wonders if a Boston team missing Kristaps Porzingis can handle Indiana's Myles Turner, who has been a huge factor at both ends of the court. 10:05 ... Ross expects a fast paced series and World B feels like bettors should take "the overs." 12:30 ... Bruce feels that "The Wardens" (Jrue Holiday and Derrick White) will be Boston's secret weapons against the young Pacers guards (Andrew Nembhard and Tyrese Haliburton).  He is also excited to watch the individual matchup between Jayson Tatum and Pascal Siakam. 13:50 ... Ross wonders if Boston's ball movement will suffer if they try to hunt mismatches but Bruce feels Jaylen Brown will be unstoppable and will likely be Boston's leading scorer against the Pacers. 15:48 ... World B says there is more pressure on Boston than on any other team and if they are locked up in a tight battle, will they be able to respond successfully?  World B feels they will. 17:04 ...

Predictions ... everyone picks Boston 19:15 ... Ross tees up the game 7 discussion on Timberwolves/Nuggets from Sunday ... Bruce feels that Denver depended too much on Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray and Minnesota shut everyone else down. 21:20 ... World B takes a bow as he was very high on Minnesota all season long.  The way the Wolves shut down Denver's offense was unbelievable. 23:24 ... As great as Jokic is, he did not "come up big" late in the game and may have been worn down by Minnesota's bigs.  The Wolves dominated at the free throw line because their aggressive play caused them to get more whistles from the refs. 26:02 ... Ross points out how Mike Conley of the Wolves is a huge factor in organizing the team and making huge shots in clutch situations. 27:20 ... Ross initiates the discussion on the Mavs/Wolves series ... Bruce feels Luka Doncic will "do Luka things," but Kyrie Irving needs to be more like the guy who played against the Clippers in round one and less like the Kyrie who played against OKC in round two. 28:37 ... Ross asks World B if the Dallas frontcourt has the physical toughness to rebound effectively against the Wolves. 30:31 ... Bruce feels that the three Minnesota bigs will be too much for the young Dallas Bigs.  PJ Washington has also been a huge factor for the Mavs. 31:52 ... Predictions ... everyone chooses Minnesota 35:09 ... Bruce's one liner is on the extra 48 Minutes shows this week 36:10 ... World B's one liner is on ESPN's coverage of Pacers/Knicks game 7 and how is was tough to watch. 39:28 ...
