In context

BillMake no assumptions.

BillHave no takes on this team for a month. Just wait.

BillLet's see the crunch time five. Let's see them get some reps. The one thing I will say, Ty looks great.

BillSo Ty and Siakam, their pick and roll is still, I think, one of the six or seven best plays in the league. And this team, I still think is a 50 -win team.

BillNumber 11, Toronto, 2 -1. And Kawhi's already hurt with the knee swelling.

BillHe's made it 52 minutes.

BillWill he get to 1,200 this year? 1,500? What would you get to bet your life? What would you bet?
