1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Happy New Year, and everybody out there certainly safe endeavors

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: tonight for those that are out there, it's kind of

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: become typical for the Indiana Pacers where they are hosting

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: this New Year's Eve game. It's the matinee game, if

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: you will, so three o'clock right here on these airwaves.

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: It'll be the Orlando Magic as the Spacers try to

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: end their nine game losing streak. They've got Victor Webin

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: Yam on the Spurs then coming up on Friday, talk

9
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: more about it. We headed the Payoff Sickers hotline right now.

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: He is the head coach of the Pacers. He is

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: a Rick Carlisle coach. Happy New Year to you, Good morning.

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

13
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: Likewise, I guess let's just start with the uniqueness of

14
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: the three o'clock start that definitely doesn't happen too too often.

15
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: What does that do from a schedule standpoint for you

16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: guys in terms of preparation on a day like today,

17
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: it just.

18
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: Moves everything up a few hours and so on game

19
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: days at home, normally we come in in the afternoon

20
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: three hours before game time, and we'll do a film session,

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 2: we'll do an on court walk through run through, and

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: then and then get ready to play. So instead of

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: coming in at four, we'll be in there around noon today. Rick.

24
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 3: Throughout this nine game skid, do you see any overlapping

25
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 3: themes throughout it that you all need to change to

26
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: try to you know, obviously snap it tonight In the

27
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: year on high note, Yeah.

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: I mean we got a we got a fighting consistency,

29
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: and there's been a lot of different things that have

30
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: come up. Certainly, you know, in the Miami game there

31
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: were twenty six turnovers. You know, it's it's great to

32
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: have a good offensive nights and get thirty assists, but

33
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: then when you get twenty six turnovers or whatever it was,

34
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: thirty seven points or something like that, you just can't

35
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: you just can't survive. So at times, rebounding has been

36
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: a big thing out basically the game against Houston, you know,

37
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: their with their ability to rebound, that was going to

38
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 2: be a challenge. I've been a lot of things, but uh,

39
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: no excuses. You know, another opportunity today against a very

40
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: good Magic team, and uh we'll have to be ready again.

41
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: That's three o'clock today, Pacers in Magic. Brick Carlisle with

42
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: us here, coach. I think it was over the weekend.

43
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: Both Pascal Siakam and TJ McConnell had some comments after

44
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 1: I think it was the Boston game. You know, SIMS

45
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: had something effective. You know, it didn't feel like you

46
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: guys tried it hard enough on offense. I think McConnell,

47
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: you know, mentioned, you know, not fighting the way that

48
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: we usually do. I know, the effort word is probably

49
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: a word that gets a lot of attention. Have you

50
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: been pleased with the effort amidst a season that's obviously

51
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: been very trying.

52
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: Overall, we can all do but.

53
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: Pace, said Coachrick Carlias. With this year on the Payloffs

54
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: Lookers hotline starting lineup Johnny Furfrey, He's gott a little

55
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: run here as of late. I know Aarony Smith is

56
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: getting back to work. Uh you've mentioned Furfy easy guy

57
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: to root for when you say that or easy got

58
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: to like maybe what is it about his game that

59
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: from a coaching standpoint, he's a guy that you like

60
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: having out there.

61
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: He goes hard. He you know, unconditionally gives you everything

62
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: he has. On a team where running is a real priority.

63
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: I mean he always runs hard, He always does his

64
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: job in that. In that respect, the other thing is

65
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: you know, there there are are other things. I guess

66
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: I should say. He rebounds the ball. He's a very

67
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: active crasher offensively and a very good defensive rebounder. And

68
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: he's he's just super unselfish, you know, and in plays

69
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: with with a with a boundless energy and always a

70
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: very very very good spirit. So you know, guys like

71
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: that are winning type players, and you can never have

72
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: enough of them, I guess, I guess I guess you

73
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: you should say you never have too many of them.

74
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 3: Rick you talk about, you know, not having too many

75
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 3: of those types of players. One of those I would

76
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: imagine is Pascal Siakam ninth in the All Star fan

77
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 3: voting for the Eastern Conference. How do you have you

78
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: have you seen him navigate this season and be a

79
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 3: leader when you know obviously he wants to win it

80
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: all costs.

81
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's been a difficult challenge for for him

82
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: and uh, Billy, all the guys coming into this, you know.

83
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: So look, it's it's important to communicate with all the players,

84
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: particularly the leaders. So I spent a lot of time,

85
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: uh talking with him and Andrew Nemard and aaron Nie

86
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 2: Smith and just you know, keeping a pulse on say things,

87
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: hearing them out what they see and feel on the court.

88
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: And you know, we always, all the time have to

89
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: be in a problem solving mode, even when things are good.

90
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 2: And you know, right now it's you know, we're not

91
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 2: in one of those periods. But in the NBA, it's

92
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: you know, it's difficult. You know, every game is hard,

93
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: every team is good. Margins are always slim, mars are

94
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: particularly slimming this year, and we got to understand that.

95
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: And and uh, we got to do everything we can,

96
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 2: you know, to push things beyond the point where you know,

97
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: an ordinary effort just isn't enough. So again today another

98
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 2: another really strong challenge. Uh. But the magic but great

99
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: thing about the NBA you never has to wait too

100
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,119
Speaker 2: long to play again.

101
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the afternoon game again in Magic three o'clock.

102
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: We appreciate Rick Carlisle joined us on a game day

103
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: kind of going off James's point with Siakam, you know,

104
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: for you as the head coach, I mean we talked

105
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: in the previous segment, I mean, you guys might have

106
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: as many transactions right now as the Colts have had

107
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: over the course of the seventeen game season. I mean

108
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: it's north of I think twenty players have scored a

109
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: bucket for you and we're you know, not even close

110
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: really to the halfway point of the season. How big

111
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: I guess of a challenge has it been for you?

112
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: Just from a coaching standpoint AA, How unique and be

113
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: how difficult.

114
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: Both? Yeah, it's all this has been unlike any year

115
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: I've had and I've had I've had years. You know,

116
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: we went through the brawl year where we went through

117
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: difficult times, suspensions, injuries, everything else. But it's a long

118
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: season and so you know, hope, hope springs eternal. I mean,

119
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: you've got to keep things positive. You know, we're starting

120
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: to get a little healthier. That's a good sign. But

121
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: nobody wants to Nobody wants to hear about how hard

122
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: things are. And you know, uh, any you know woe

123
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: is me type stuff. You know that's not that's not

124
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: going to get it.

125
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: Uh.

126
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: We gotta we gotta, we gotta circle the wagons and

127
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: do better, simple as that.

128
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: Rick you talk about not having a woe is me attitude,

129
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: and one of those guys I think you'd probably referred

130
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: to in that same realm, Miss Tyres Halliburton, what has

131
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 3: it been like seeing him get to rehab on the

132
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: court before some of these home games recently, and perhaps

133
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: feeling the injury of the crowd and the excitement of

134
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 3: his potential return obviously next season.

135
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: He's great, He's still great. I would have to think

136
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: he's ahead a schedule by some pretty good margin. But

137
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: you know, the technology and rehab and those kinds of

138
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: everything is so so much better than it was a

139
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: few years ago. That look, he sustained the injury. I

140
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 2: forget what time it was, but in less than twenty

141
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: four hours, an injury happened in Oklahoma. In less than

142
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 2: twenty four hours, the surgery was completed. And so you know,

143
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: you've got you've got a lot of things working in

144
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 2: the favor of today's at me, certainly the timing element there,

145
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: private airplanes and all that kind of stuff. And you know,

146
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: doctor O'Malley has become a trusted friend of many NBA

147
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 2: teams are are certainly included. And he made the time

148
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: and and and that was that was done very quickly,

149
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 2: and that always helps to facilitate a more more positive rehab situation.

150
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: So I'm sure people have seen, you know, a lot

151
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: of the a lot of videos posted. You know, he's

152
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: going to basketball, he's doing a lot of sprinting, he's

153
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: doing a lot of you know, everything gets ramped up,

154
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: and I think every couple of weeks there is a

155
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: new element introduced to the rehab. And to this point,

156
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,760
