19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: seconds of the third quarter. The Pacers lead the Knicks

20
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: in a pivotal game four one ninety one, also known

21
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: as the tyres Halliburton game. Well, I mean he's going

22
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame off of this game. Twenty

23
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: eight points, fourteen assists, and eight rebounds, not even through

24
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: three quarters of the game. This is where Tyrese Halliburton

25
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: is at the night he is having. Now you know

26
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: why the Pacers said, Hey, we got to bring your

27
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: dad back.

28
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: Man.

29
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: Look they're patting themselves on the back, going, yeah, we

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: brought your dad back at the right time. Look at

31
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: this game, you ever, one of the greatest games in

32
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: NBA playoff history. We did the right pat yourselves on

33
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: the back.

34
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: You did the right thing.

35
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: It's the complete opposite of Jamie Tart when his dad

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: showed up. He just could not play here all world

37
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: Jacob himself Hall of Famer Jamy tu Ai is catchy.

38
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, absolutely true. Look, I'm stunned, honestly,

39
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: the game is this close right because here we are

40
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: twenty seconds ago on the third quarter, and the Pacers

41
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: has simply done everything they've wanted to do offensively in

42
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: this game, everything they've wanted to do. The knickser lost

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: on almost every defensive possession. There's a Pacer wide open

44
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: for three at the end of the shot clock, there's

45
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: an easy path to the hoop. I don't know if

46
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: Brunson is missing some defensive assignments up top, but offensively,

47
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: the Pacers have done everything. Halli Burton has done anything

48
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: he wanted to. They're playing at the pace they wanted to,

49
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: which is they want to go up and down the

50
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: court fast. They want to be able to hold Jalen

51
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: Brunson down and make him dribble the ball up court

52
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: and the pressure him as often as he's on the floor.

53
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the Pacers have done everything they've wanted to,

54
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: They've played at the pace they've wanted to, and yet

55
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: it's a ten point game like this should be. The

56
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: Knick should be down twenty five at this point. I

57
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: can't believe it's honestly, it's this close. Well, they've doubled

58
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: up on turnover too, Nicks with fourteen to the Pacers seven,

59
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: but they've made it count at the foul line. Twenty

60
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: six of twenty nine last couple of minutes have been

61
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: a wrestling match, and curiously officiated in the process Benedict Mathern.

62
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: I would put him, I would just call him the

63
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: menace because at some point Kat or somebody is just

64
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: going to haul off on him. He has tackled Jalen

65
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: Brunson at least twice in the last two minutes, and

66
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: they're they're really just beating the hell out of bruns

67
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: and seeing if they'll react at this point getting into

68
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: the end of the third quarter. But that first half

69
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: from Halliburton was a clinic. I mean, to rebound short

70
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: of a triple double in the first half. What he did,

71
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: Joe jaed, you know, looking at lines and having some

72
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: fun with it as we do here. His over under

73
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: for points, rebounds, and assists was thirty five and a

74
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: half for the game. Yeah, he got you. You're feeling

75
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: pretty good when you can celebrate down and a half

76
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: the bills before Halft, I was all right, you're looking

77
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: bill with at the before the last time out official

78
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: time out of the second quarter, I mean, imediately going

79
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: to live wagering opportunities. What has the market given me?

80
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you man, It is an eleven point lead

81
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: for the Pacers going to the fourth quarter.

82
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: Now.

83
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: The only thing I can say is, well, Nick's got

84
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: to where they want him right. Hey, down eleven going

85
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter. Hey, we're good. Man, this is

86
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: what we wanted. We love being down ten eleven points.

87
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: We go to the fourth quarter, it's our quarter, let's go.

88
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you nothing's gonna matter unless somehow defensively

89
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: they can flip the script in the fourth quarter. Because real,

90
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you watch the Pacers offensively, and Haliburton gets moving,

91
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of space and and I don't

92
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: know if it's just panic. I don't know if the

93
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: Knicks are losing their assignments, but they're just allowing the

94
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: Pacers to do anything they've wanted. I can't believe Pacers

95
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: miss as many shots aid they're shooting fifty five percent

96
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: from the floor. I can't believe it's it's that low.

97
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: Like I really I missed that, man. I feel like

98
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: they haven't missed one, like since the early part of

99
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: the second quarter. Well you're, oh, now Martin with the three,

100
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: that's the last miss. That was eighteen minutes ago in

101
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: game time. Like real, The fact that it's the eleven

102
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: point game is stunning to me. So I want to

103
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: think that, Okay, maybe it's there. But at the same time,

104
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the Pacers hoops, they're easy hoops. There's no

105
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: because like every time down the floor for the Knicks,

106
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: specially especially with Brunson. Yes, they want to slow it down,

107
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: so he's gonna try to, you know, try to back

108
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: the defender down and try to turn the lane and

109
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: try to find somebody. The Knicks baskets are all work right,

110
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: and you need some kind of easy stuff right obviously,

111
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: but the Knicks offense is not bad so far, but

112
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: defensively you also need to make them the other team

113
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: work a little bit. And I don't see any plays

114
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: where I feel like, hey, the pay boy. That was

115
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: something that was Halliburton with two guys on him and

116
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: the step back three or here he was in the

117
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: lane and he leans into the contact like the hoops

118
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: are just too easy. There's you got. You gotta make

119
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: him work at some point down the floor. Well, the

120
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: other part is we were watching final a couple of

121
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: minutes of the first half and as the third quarter began,

122
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: all the fifty to fifty balls fell to Indiana right

123
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: the thud to the side of the rim, So you're

124
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: in perfect rebounding position if it was a true rebound.

125
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: Instead it comes short, so it's an easy flow. There.

126
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: There was another play that ball goes up, you've got

127
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: two rebounders. Somehow it scorts out to a guy who's

128
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: literally sitting on his ass to trigger a shot. Now,

129
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: Halliburnon missed the three, but it was indicative of the

130
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: way the prior two to three minutes a game time

131
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: had gone, where the ball is just finding the feet

132
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: of the Indiana Pacers for another wide open look or

133
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: a trigger back inside for the knick side of it. Again,

134
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: they're taking care of business at the file line twenty

135
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: six of twenty nine. Thus far brunts at eleven of

136
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: twelve taking a beating. But you've seen it. There's no

137
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: easy layups, there's no transition. You don't expect to win

138
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: that time and again against the squad, right, you don't

139
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,559
Speaker 1: want to run against the Pacers given their depth, and

140
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: they were pretty judicious with the minutes for Jalen Brunson

141
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: again in the second quarter, he got a nice long rest,

142
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: figuring he's gonna wear some heavy minutes here down the stretch.

143
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,559
Speaker 1: But defensively, he's sitting at a minus sixty lost getting

144
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: bumped off the block and again if you're not gonna

145
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: call the the fall as he's trying to get through

146
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: a screen and those kind of things consistently, because it's

147
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: like any other sport, right you watch with your kids,

148
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: soccer game, any of you out there, or youth basketball whatever,

149
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: you're not calling all the falls because you can't, right,

150
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: And that's certainly what's happened in this playoff series where

151
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: you start pushing the boundaries of how much can I

152
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: get away with a body or a hand hand check

153
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: or do you have to really leave an imprint of

154
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: all four fingers across the guy's wrist and go, hey, Rev,

155
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: I'd like a challenge on this one, because that's what

156

341
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: left to go, the Pacers lead the Knicks one thirteen,

342
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: one hundred. And you know, it's not like the Knicks

343
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: need any help looking bad in this game, but wow,

344
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: the officiating the last few minutes. I'm not gonnsider it

345
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: and say it's costing the game. But there are three

346
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: plays the Pacers flopping on offense get to the free

347
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: throw line, Miles Turner twice grabs hold of Karl Anthony

348
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: Towns's hand and won't let go, and Karl Anthony Towns

349
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: is called for the foul like you see it on

350
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: the replay. This is a bad look for the NBA.

351
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna look at some of these fouls tomorrow and go,

352
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, we just lost our minds for that

353
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: stretch early in the fourth quarter. Because this is what's

354
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: this is what's helping keep the Pacers lead. Like I'm

355
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: watching Myles Turner go. They let him do whatever he

356
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: wants to I he locks up coxs up Karl Anthony

357
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: Towns with his arm under Karl Anthony Towns's arm, and

358
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: the referees call it, but really but grabbing his hand

359
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: and not let it like they were holding hands. Yeah,

360
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: I was thinking, and Towns is trying to move his

361
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: hand out of the way. They call the foul on

362
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: Myles Turner. Wow, well because Turner flailed away like how

363
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: dare you touch me? Look, you're also getting heat checked

364
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: and superstar calls for Benedict Mathern. Yeah. Yeah, that's where

365
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: we're at this game. Like that is as good as

366
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: Haliburt was, And it's great that Daddy is there and

367
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: he's trying to impress him at all. The fact that

368
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: Batherin has done more in this game than he had

369
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: the entire series combined and tripled. You're looking at at

370
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: a guy who's taking he checked threes from the corner.

371
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: They're all taking he checked threes guys like he's tackled

372
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: bruntson multiple times. No calls. I mean he's going full

373
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: and Reid a couple of times.

374
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: Come on you me.

375
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: Frosburg, Desaga and Mary could could score on the Knicks

376
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: defense right now. We just have to We just have

377
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: to dribble around, get work the shot clocked down. Watch

378
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: the Knicks panic and one of us is open. For

379
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: a show towns or brunts and is given up by

380
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: the eight seconds left hand. I know, I'm really we're

381
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: getting past one of them. I mean, look, it's the

382
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: Knicks clearly have no answer defensively, and it's yet another

383
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: feather in the cap of Rick Carlisle, who was completely

384
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: out coach TIBs in this series. So far, the Knicks

385
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: seem like they don't have an answer for whatever the

386
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: Pacers want. Right Game one, they didn't have an answer

387
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: during the comeback Game two. They started the game wanting

388
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: to established Pascal Siakam, who had a Kevin Durant in

389
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: his prime type game. How do you know? They weren't

390
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: ready for that, and clearly tonight they weren't ready for Halliburton.

391
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: Weren't ready for anything offensively, because whether it's Halliburton making

392
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: shots or the Pacers getting open, looks like there's not again,

393
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: there's no shots where I go, wow, man, what are

394
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: you gonna do for that turn around three from the

395
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: corner with a second left in the shot clock. No,

396
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: everything is easy. Everything is easy for the Pacers. Yeah,

397
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: everybody taking care of business except for your guy, damn hard.

398
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: So I guess you get that feather in your cap

399
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: that he's not gutted you. But Siakam once again twenty

400
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: four points, ten of seventeen, couple of three point shots

401
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: for him. Nie Smith, who was questionable yesterday, he's got

402
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: sixteen plus twenty two on the night to leave the

403
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: squad Turners got twelve only two boards for him, which

404
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: is kind of curious. But Haliburton with the twenty eight

405
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: fourteen assists, eight rebound night. He's also got four steals

406
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: and still with zero turnovers. You want to talk talk

407
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: about operational efficiency Nicks for the game sixteen turnovers, Pacers

408
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: slowly catching up at ten, but that's your tail of

409
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: the tape. So we'll love more in this game again.

410
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: Time out on the floor, Knicks down by twelve, the

411
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: Pacers looking to go up three to one and really

412
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: take a stranglehold on this series. And maybe we'll start

413
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: our Pacers Thunder preview coming up in a bit. Yeah,

414
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: Paul Pierce having fun now in toligent pace is gonna

415
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: beat that? Yeah? Yeah, that's great. Is he sitting around

416
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: a campfire where he may or may not have, you know,

417
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: dipped into whatever was in the canister. Maybe you'll want

418
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: to work again, you never know. May may walk to work.

419
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: You never know.

420
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 3: He doesn't get another take. He got his first take wrong.

421
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that's true.

422
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 3: Hink's winning.

423
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: Yeah that's true. Yeah, yeah, you get another take, you're down.

424
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: No no, no, Well if you're only you're getting stuff changed,

425
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: you get first take on first take, you don't get

426
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: you don't get sacked. That's why the show is not

427
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: called second take exactly. Yeah, first take, first take. So

428
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: we'll have more on this game, But another big story

429
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: out of basketball. Earlier today, the WNBA announced they could

430
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: not substantiate a report of racist fan behavior. You're at

431
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: the season opener between the Fever and the Sky a

432
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: few days ago. The quote coming from the league in

433
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: a statement, we have investigated the report of racist fan

434
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: behavior in the vicinity of the court based on information

435
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: gathered to date, including from relevant fans, team and arena staff,

436
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: as well as audio and video review of the game.

437
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: We have not substantiated it. And you know this is

438
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: where when I when I talk about situations at the

439
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: WNBA can't afford to get into you can't afford to

440
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: get into rivalries broke breaking down on a racial angle, right,

441
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: and now, what does this story look like. The story

442
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: looks like, hey, here's a story that gets manufactured because

443
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: of the hard foul between Caitlyn Clark and Angel Reese,

444
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: which was a result of angel Reese pushing a player

445
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: to play before and a foul that Caitlin Clark committed

446
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: that they both said a basketball play and people get

447
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: upset because Angel Reese gets gets loses that game by

448
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: however many points. And now oh here's report. I heard this.

449
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: I heard this said, so now the Sky have to

450
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: put out a statement about it. We don't condone this behavior.

451
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: The Fever have to put out a statement. You know,

452
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: Angel Reese talks about it, Caitlin Clark talks about it.

453
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: Now here we find out it's nothing. Well, but we

454
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: talked about it tonight that it happened, right, and well,

455
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: our first chance to talk about it on the Monday,

456
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: you know, you had the Sky coach. He said, well,

457
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: we found out what everybody else did. It's like it

458
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: wasn't something that was heard in the game or reacted

459
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: to which we watched the game. We watched it come

460
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: down to the end, and there was nothing until social media,

461
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: which is you might as well have NBA whatever else. Right,

462
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: that by the way, bad day for the W NBA

463
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: with NBA SENTI, but it's one of those things where

464
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: it just started to gestate, now what was it quote

465
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: when everyone else did. I think it's something that we

466
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: heard about, and so we're forthcoming and anything that the

467
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: league is able to do investigation wise. Angel Res more

468
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: or less said the same and corroborated that, you know,

469
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: and immediately, hey, we're glad that the league's looking into it.

470
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: Said okay, fine, But nobody on the squad came forth

471
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: saying I heard this, because you would be pointing them

472
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 1: out this night in real time. Like we see at

473
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: NBA games all the time, someone says something untoward, the

474
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: bench reacts. And this is where everything with the W,

475
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: with everything that's gone on and all their controversy since

476
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark and Angel Rees came into the league, with

477
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: all the controversy, what if I said is the biggest thing,

478
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: show me you can handle success. This is an unprecedented

479
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: level of success for the W. Show me you can

480
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: handle it, and they can't because what did they do here?

481
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: They let social media launch an investigation where okay, wait

482
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: a minute, where look at was something said? Was of

483
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: course we you know, we don't condone this. We're looking

484
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: into it. Boom, just take care of it. Right when

485
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: when you have the sky make a statement and the

486
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: fever make a statement and now we're launching an investigator. Okay,

487
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: so now you've given this credibility when all you did

488
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: is has seen some stuff on social media. Most likely

489
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: this is all I heard this at the game. But

490
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: you hear did you hear this? I'm talk to people

491
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: at the game wn basis, don't worry about it. We

492
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: got it, right, do worry about it? We got it. Okay,

493
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna take care of this. Like this is where

494
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: they need to show we can handle this success. Can

495
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: we know when something comes up that's a little bit rocky,

496
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to handle it.

497
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 4: Right.

498
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: So that's the number one thing is that they got

499
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: to show they can do it because it looks like

500
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: social media made them make an investigation over something that

501
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: didn't happen.

502
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 3: Right now.

503
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: My other part is this is that this is I

504
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: always say my pr advice to the stars. If I

505
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: wasn't doing this, i'd be a public relations advisor. What

506
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: I would do is I would I would talk to

507
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: specific people if I was pr advice, and if I

508
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: had I had these people as clients. If I had

509
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark as my client, if I had Angel Reese

510
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: is my client. If I had Cheryl Reeve is my client.

511
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: If I had Cheryl Swoops as my client. If I

512
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: had Cheryl Burke as my client. If I had Cheryl

513
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: Tigues is my client, Cheryl Hines, if I had Cheryl

514
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: Hines as my client, if I had Cheryl lad as

515
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: my client, if I had Jackie Cheryl as my client.

516
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: He didn't want to talk about Texas A and M

517
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: Cheryl Hines, You're gonna get into a lot of other

518
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: discussions right now, so you stay away. I would say this, right,

519
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: I would say, look, quit being petulant about stuff, Quit

520
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: being petty, Quit pushing whatever angle is here. I would

521
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: tell Angel Reese, Hey, we're worried about race. Don't repost

522
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: the post about white girl Caitlin Clark walking away from

523
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: you after this play, after you just put out a

524
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: statement saying there's nothing out there. You know there's no

525
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: room for this kind of behavior in the game. Right,

526
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: I would say the same thing the chery will Reef.

527
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: I would say, don't sit here and say what about

528
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: the rest of us, because you're upset your game is

529
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: not on national television when the season starts, like last year,

530
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: I would say these things. I would say because here's

531
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: the thing is what you don't get. I'm telling you

532
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: not to look petulant because eventually you're just gonna look bad.

533
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: You're gonna you're gonna be stopped from whatever you want

534
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: to achieve because you're gonna start looking awful. Right, It's

535
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: like the like you think about players when they start

536
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: flopping too much and you get to play with boy,

537
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: they're great player, but when they flop, you're like, oh,

538
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: I can't even watch I can't even watch Luca because

539
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: he flops all the time. I can't even watch So

540
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: and So because they're flopping. I can't watch Rashid Wallace,

541
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: he flops all the time. And and you wind, a

542
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: really great player gets that tag of all they do

543
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: is flop, and it's really hard to watch. The same

544
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: thing's gonna happen to these players because if you can

545
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: you to push out this pettiness and this petulance, you're

546
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: going to look bad. Right, You're gonna look bad. So

547
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: let's just make let's just you know the WNBAH, we

548
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: will take care of stuff. Number one. But the second

549
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: thing is, I would say, the players don't do anything

550
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: to add on to this, right and the coaches don't

551
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: do anything to add on to this, because you're just

552
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: gonna look bad when this stuff goes on, because it's

553
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: gonna look bad on you. And I'm telling you to

554
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: protect you as my client that if you keep pushing

555
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: this stuff out there, eventually people are gonna get sick

556
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: of it. You know, right now this debate is raging

557
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: and the w is hot, but eventually people are gonna say,

558
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm done. I'm done. I don't need another Caitlin Clark

559
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: Angel restory that's not on the basketball court, right I

560
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: don't need another one of these things that's not on

561
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: the court. They're gonna have to keep. That's eventually where

562
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: people are gonna go. So I would tell them, you

563
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: got you gotta watch it right now, and I would

564
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: just cut you, cut out whatever you can. Don't worry

565
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: about crap, play basketball, enjoy everything that's coming your way,

566
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: push the game, push the league, push your rivalries. B

567
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: if you want to tell you, if you want to

568
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: make it about make it about basketball, basketball, basketball, that's

569
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: what people like. That's what people are gonna respond to.

570
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: Make it about that and everything will be okay. But

571
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: this this is going nowhere. No. That's the thing, right

572
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: is you know we talk about the boy who cried wolf,

573
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: and in this case, you know, you bring race and

574
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: and and certainly there are enough people in every walk

575
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: of and I use the term journalism loosely, uh that

576
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 1: will chase that for clicks and and get their their

577
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: talk in. And we certainly had plenty of that across

578
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: the media for the week following Uh that that came

579
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: out of it, people getting their families involved or whatever else.

580
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: And then they can come back to oh, sorry, my bad,

581
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: but they got their engagement, they got their clicks. Whatever

582
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: measurements that you go through, it might have been a

583
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: bad look. But when they can present their next quarters

584
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: numbers to whoever they're looking to do deals with, tada,

585
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: they won. But you can only trained on on the

586
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: margins with that, I think your people that you were

587
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: trying to bring in the eyeballs and attention to the

588
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: WNBA that you're not gonna win with that, right, You'll

589
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: keep your diehards because they were there from the start.

590
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: That's great, And if that's all you're interested, then fine,

591
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: then stop the pretense of trying to grow the game

592
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: and just be done with it. But to recognize that

593
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 1: to sell to folks consistently it does have to be

594
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: about the actual product and not side show circuses. And

595
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 1: in this case, something absolutely fabricated by a couple of

596
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: social media accounts. Now it doesn't mean one hundred percent

597
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: that nothing happened, right they but whatever investigation was, we

598
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: couldn't find anything. They couldn't corroborate it, right, And I

599
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: told you that we were on Monday night, and I said, well,

600
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: it's already been forty eight hours. If you would have

601
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: found something, you would have got something, and nobody would

602
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: have heard something. Right that there was no reaction to

603
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: where there was anything, you know, heated in that moment,

604
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 1: because if it was truly happening in the game, someone

605
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: would responded, We've got enough of that in the country

606
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: and the globe as a whole. Like, you don't need

607
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: to fabricate it. You can find it for real if

608
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: you really want to. So you're only going to kill

609
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: your product and your growth, and you're going to take

610
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: some of these players that might have been growing an audience,

611
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: and to your point, between flopping and other types of

612
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: scenarios where it's not about their on core performance, folks

613
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: are gonna tune out. Yeah, I mean it's going to

614
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: run hot and heavy for a while, like people will,

615
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: but eventually it's gonna fans are gonna say, you know,

616
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm done, I'm done with this, Like, okay, here it is.

617
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 1: This is new, and it's a whole new thing with

618
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: the WB and popular and and and and all the

619
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: controversy and people picking sides and who they like and

620
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 1: who they don't. But eventually it's going you know what,

621
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: I don't have time for that. I'm done with this.

622
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: I'm kinda I'm I'm mentally I'm mentally just drained from

623
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,479
Speaker 1: another one of these conversations that really we've had too

624
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: many times now, right, So let's let's just let's let's

625
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: just move on from this. But the other part, it

626
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: goes back to discussion we've had with Kate and Clark

627
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: going back to when she was playing at Iowa and

628
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: we were covering that team running deep into the NCAA tournament.

629
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: Was she's chippy, she's chirpy, she does not shy away

630
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: from contact, and a hard fall is sometimes just a

631
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: hard fall. In fact, ninety eight percent of the time

632
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: it's just a hard fall in the construct of a

633
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: physical game. Does it mean that sometimes it doesn't get

634
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: untoored where you need to pause and blow a whistle

635
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: and get everybody calm down. No, I mean we're gonna

636
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: see those, but not every time that Caitlin Clark is

637
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: fouled or commits a fall is it's some egregious act.

638
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: And in this case it was absolutely absurd because of

639
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: where the contact occurred. Should you give a little extra shove?

640
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 3: Eah?

641
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: Maybe, But in the end, it's it's a basketball play

642
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: all right? Play on exit out about a Fresca exit

Speaker 1: What the what do ton? Yeah, twenty twenty home runs

768
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: for show? Hey, Otani so far this season, and we

769
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: still have a little bit ways to go in May,

770
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: especially since he's now he's hitting, you know, a home

771
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: run every game. But here's a great stat right for

772
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: all you Dave Kingman fans. He's got twenty home runs

773
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: and thirty five RBI. This tells you the bottom of

774
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: the lineup of the Dodgers is really not getting on base.

775
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: He's got twenty home runs and thirty five RBI. Like

776
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 1: that's I mean, I didn't know that that was actually

777
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: mathematically possible to have twenty home run because you got

778
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: to think, how many RBIs does he have not on

779
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: home runs? Right?

780
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 4: Like?

781
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: How many what does he have? Like four RBIs not

782
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: on home runs because some of them are two run homers.

783
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm three run homers, a lot of are solo homers.

784
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: But twenty and thirty five for Oton, Yeah, we're gonna

785
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: have to go back and do the count as the

786
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: game goes on. Certainly, now with the NBA game, done

787
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: good job, it's been done for a while. It's been

788
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: done well. But I mean, you know, officially I don't

789
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: have to pay attention to it anymore that you know,

790
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: we can go and start doing a countdown. I go

791
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: back to, let's see twenty twenty one because I immediately

792
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,439
Speaker 1: started thinking about Kyle Schwarber since he's been a leadoff hitter,

793
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: that he had a lot of the same He had

794
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: seventy two games with Washington and split in time with

795
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: them and Boston. But in those seventy two games he

796
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: had twenty five home runs and fifty three army hind

797
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 1: not not just pretty quite the same race. Yeah, still

798
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: two one. But the point being that you know that

799
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,919
Speaker 1: that happens when you're a power hit. I mean back

800
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: to back games, you lead the game off, so I

801
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: mean there's two of them right there, right so, but yeah,

802
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: just an amazing clip. He's back up at ninety six

803
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: and seeing the ball well, because there were some concerns

804
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago long balls and not much else.

805
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: But now there's still for that Dodger lineup, as you

806
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: alluded to, still a lot of questions. I mean, we

807
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: talk a lot about the pitching staff, but the rest

808
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: of the life certainly getting under the microscope as well.

809
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 1: What do you got for you hanother big stat here, Frostburg?

810
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: What he got, Well, we all know the incredible season

811
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: he had last year, right mm hmm. In fifty five

812
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: games this year he's hit twenty home runs.

813
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 3: How long do you think it took him how many

814
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 3: games last year.

815
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 1: To hit twenty home twenty to get to twenty when

816
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 1: he hit fifty five seventy seventy five seventy five games,

817
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 1: because he really hit it big in the second half

818
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: of the season when he got last year, he's gonna look,

819
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he's it looks like he's gonna have no

820
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: problem hitting sixty, right because when he gets hot, he

821
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: hits him in, but he doesn't go he doesn't have

822
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: like real he feels like his droughts are longer because

823
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: it's only like, you know, three games. Well, then he

824
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: hits a game, right, and then he hits one for

825
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: like five straight games in a row. Still ball, he

826
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: had a drought. You know, his drought is three games.

827
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: Any any player would say, oh, I gotta have that.

828
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna he's gonna hit sixty home runs

829
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: this year? Is he gonna drive in seventy five runs?

830
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 4: Is he.

831
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 1: Sixty runs? Sixty on runs and ninety five? Nobody cares?

832
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: And an ops of one point one? What happens in October?

833
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: That's all that matters. Got sixty now, right now, after

834
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: seeing this at the bottom of the order for the Dodgers,

835
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: is going, oh god, we really got to pick it up. Man,

836
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: We've not been doing our job. That this is the

837
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: numbers that this guy has. We gotta do you gotta

838
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: make it look better better. I don't know it'll well,

839
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: but I mean this becomes the true legend of Otani

840
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: at a whole other way. Look at what he does

841
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: on his own. He's not even getting the support of

842
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: that back end of that roster. Yeah, but I mean,

843
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: but twenty home runs already and he's got himself out

844
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: in front again. This is a conversation I do not

845
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: want to have right now. We'll have it later on.

846
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to have it right now. Who he

847
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:44,919
Speaker 1: is right now co MVP favorites with in the National League.

848
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: You don't want to have it. I don't want to know.

849
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: But we will have it because we're fair, we want

850
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: to be. But I just don't want to have it

851
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: right now because it just it. It upsets me. He's

852
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: got forty nine. I just had to watch the Knicks

853
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: lose at least the Mets one tonight. But you do

854
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: it right now, you don't have to talk about the Knicks. No,

855
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 1: we'll get to get No, no, no, I'm not gonna

856
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: do it. No, I'm not gonna do it. No, no, no, no,

857
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna me. It upsets me down. And you

858
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: see a lot of odds where at this because the

859
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: Memorial Day is a big time to look back at

860
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: the MLB season, what we've seen so far. Here's certain

861
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: certain benchmark days of the year in baseball. Memorial Day,

862
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: fourth of July Labor Day. What do we look back?

863
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: What is ahead of us? And looking and seeing right now,

864
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: going wow, he actually this guy actually has more first

865
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 1: place votes.

866
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 3: I take a guess.

867
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: No, no, not a lot. No guessing. There's no guessing.

868
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 1: You can't guess. I can't guess. Rhyme smashbron something like that. Yeah,

869
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: did you say SpongeBob? Yeah, lives in a pineapple under

870
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: the sea.

871
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 3: Somebody's got to check.

872
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: That guy's bat and TJ Yes, absorbent and yellow and porous.

873
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 1: Is he tj uh? Yeah, No, that's a conversation we'll

874
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: have another time. Not ready to have a Psychologically, I

875
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: could tell this Nick's loss as much as you carry

876
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,720
Speaker 1: mentally well already you were not feeling it. No holding

877
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: of hands, Miles Turner, No really turned you off out

878
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: a whole. That call is really in the embodiment of

879
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: this game for you. It is a three to one

880
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,760
Speaker 1: Pacers lead. Is the series over? How did this happen?

881
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: We break down the biggest story of the night next Fox.

882
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: The Pacers are still dining out on the confidence of

883
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: their comeback in game one. There's not a lot I

884
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: can say because the biggest thing that's going on right now. Okay,

885
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: the biggest thing Tom Thibodeau is getting completely out coached

886
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: by Rick Carlisle. It really reminds me of when I

887
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: would watch the Patriots and Bill Belichick's hate. I mean

888
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: not at the end when he was awful and you

889
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: didn't know what he was doing, but in the heyday

890
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: of the Patriots where I would watch them play different

891
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: teams in the AFC East twice a year, and the

892
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: first time they not just the Jets, but when they

893
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: play the Dolphins or the and they would have one

894
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: game plan that would work. Right, it was, oh, hey,

895
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,280
Speaker 1: this was Steven Ridley. What a huge game. Twenty carries,

896
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: one hundred and five yards. Brady didn't nearly need to

897
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: throw the ball a lot. They were able to keep

898
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: the Bills offense off the field. Okay, so the second

899
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: game the Bills, how do we adjust? What did they

900
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: do to us last time? We're ready for this and

901
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: then it's a completely different game plan from Belichick where

902
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna throw the football and suddenly it's a big

903
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: day for Wes Welker. Right, fourteen catches for Welker. He

904
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: had three catches in the first game. This is what

905
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: Belichick used to do to teams. Right, This is why

906
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: I go back and say, despite Spygate, all of it,

907
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: he's the best coach I've seen because he can change

908
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: game plans on a dime, even sometimes when you're playing

909
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: the team again two weeks after you play them, with

910
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: those kind of quirks in the schedule. This is what

911
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 1: Belichick used to do to teams. Used to frustrate the

912
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: crap out of me because I go, okay, well, the

913
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: Jets to be ready for this, but it's gonna be

914
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 1: something else different the second game. And this is what

915
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: Carlisle is doing to the Knicks and doing to Tom

916
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: Thibodeau because the first game, the Knicks had no answer

917
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: for the comeback in the fourth quarter. Right, they knew

918
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: that the Pacers new we can get shots. We know

919
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,280
Speaker 1: the Nie Smith can get his own shot because Josh

920
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: Hart can stay with him, and you know we can't

921
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: stay with him. The Knicks had no answer. Was on

922
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,479
Speaker 1: roller skates. Yeah, they lose game one, Okay, game two.

923
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 1: The Knicks have to come back mentally from that loss

924
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,919
Speaker 1: and understand this is how we have to attack things.

925
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: HALLI Burton has a big game. We need to make

926
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: sure that we're doing X, Y and Z. We're gonna

927
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: learn our lessons from game one. What does game two happen?

928
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: Pascal Siakam scores the first eleven points because they know

929
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: we can take advantage of this this matchup, in this

930
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,760
Speaker 1: mindset and has the game of his life right again, Pete,

931
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant is what he bleep and looked like. He

932
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: looked like Kevin Durant in his prime. And so the

933
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: Pacers take game two. Okay, another one check mark for

934
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: Rick Carlisle because the Knicks clearly are you said, you know,

935
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: cats on roller skates. I feel like the Knicks defensively

936
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: were on roller skats. They are able to gut out

937
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: of win in game three. But here I watch game four,

938
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you, man, if the pay Ers had

939
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: five difficult baskets today, I think I'm being generous the

940
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: Knicks defense at the top of the key. They kept

941
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: losing players and it doesn't matter. Sometimes it's Brunson, sometimes

942
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: it's Andrew Nobi. The referees were very generous with the

943
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: Pacers offensively, but I can't really blame the official. I

944
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 1: can't sit here and go, oh, they screwed us. This

945
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: because the Knicks just looked so lost defensively, Like tonight,

946
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: the Knicks had no answer for what the Pacers game

947
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: plan was. The Pacers played at their own pace. They

948
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: played at that fast pace. The Knicks were never able

949
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: to really dictate the pace. They were able to close

950
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: the win in six late, but it doesn't matter because

951
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 1: they were chasing those six points most of the game.

952
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: And Halliburton is going to the Hall of Fame off

953
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: of this game. More on him in a couple of minutes.

954
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: But the whole thing with the Knicks is that I

955
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: couldn't get that excited, that upset because I'm just watching

956
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: going defensively, They're just going to find a place in

957
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: the shot clock where the Pacers are gonna have some

958
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: sort of advantage, whether it's one on one and they're

959
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: more athletic getting to the hoop, or it's an open

960
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: three and they open three with a long rebound, they

961
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: can get that offensive rebound because they're they're flying in

962
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: from the sides to get it. Just on defense, the

963
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: Knicks looked lost, and I watched their body language and

964
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 1: it's terrible. You know, they see a play to and

965
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: they stare at each other and look in point and

966
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if it's the same thing down the court. Again,

967
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: there was no adjustments overall in this game. There was

968
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: no changes that Tom Thibadau made. Hey we're gonna do

969
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: this in this it was just the same thing. And

970
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: I never really had confidence the Knicks are gonna win

971
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 1: this game because eventually you got to get a couple

972
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: of stops on defense. They were just relying on the

973
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: Pacers missing and that's not how you win games, right,

974
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: It's what Oh, but the Pacers missed some shot, Yeah,

975
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: they missed some shots. They still shot fifty percent from

976
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: the floor. But the Knicks weren't making them miss. This

977
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 1: was hey, we had an open three and we missed.

978
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:41,760
Speaker 1: We had it, we had a jumper and we missed.

979
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,240
Speaker 1: I mean, if there's if they had five difficult shots

980
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: where it was one on two, or they're getting bailed

981
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: out by this incredibly physical play, that's a lot in

982
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: this game. They were just too much easy for the

983
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: Pacers every time down the floor, and again, the Knicks

984
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: had no answer to this advantage. Rick Carlie, you could

985
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: talk about Game one and the comeback for the Ages

986
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 1: and Haliburton up one hundred percent in the choke. But

987
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: why is this three to one right now? Because the

988
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 1: Pacers have better game plans, they're executing more and and

989
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: and Tibbs is just sitting there with his arms folded.

990
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: He looks like he looks like Phil Jackson, not even

991
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: Phil Jackson with the Lakers when they had trouble, like

992
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: with the Bulls, when they would just blow through teeth

993
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: and say, oh, we're gonna if a series is four

994
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: to two, feel happy you won those couple of games

995
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: Like this is this is the legend that Rick Carlisle

996
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 1: is being made out to be in this year. I mean,

997
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: you go back to Game three, and there was some movement, right,

998
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 1: Obviously he gets some minutes from Shammitt and folks that

999
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: want to stick up for Tibbs and talk about his

1000
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,720
Speaker 1: acumen and what he's been able to do with the squad.

1001
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: Game three was a good one, right in terms of

1002
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 1: pulling strings, finding some minutes off the BENJ McBride whatever.

1003
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: And that's fine. It's it was a short lived solution.

1004
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: Today you were back to some of the same habits

1005
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: that created the two to zero deficit of standing around

1006
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 1: like they've had the unfortunate run of loose balls, finding

1007
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: the waiting hands, oftentimes beyond the three point arc of

1008
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: the Indiana basers. Loose ball fills the aggressiveness and physicality

1009
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: waiting on a call that never comes right, ah initiated content,

1010
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: Well you're not getting that call. Play the other way

1011
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: right a number of times where you're going back and

1012
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: you're now in a fast break opportunity for the pacers

1013
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: because you've got one or more guys standing back, staring

1014
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: at the referee and wanting to fight him. It's they

1015
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: called didn't come get back, or the look. They out

1016
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 1: rebounded him by eleven. The Nicks win the rebounding margin.

1017
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: They out offensive rebounded them by eight thirteen total offensive rebounds,

1018
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: and they had a number of set plays and opportunities

1019
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,760
Speaker 1: off inbounds plays where you just miss wide open looks

1020
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: like we saw it down the stretch with chances to

1021
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: really make it a make up sweat in the final

1022
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: two to three minutes, like you're taking an off balance

1023
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 1: falling away three, there's nobody guarding you, set your feet,

1024
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: take your shot, and then the fights for rebounds. We

1025
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: saw the tussling. I know you're still I might get

1026
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,720
Speaker 1: you a T shirt that has the Miles Turner Karl

1027
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns hands holding near the top of the key

1028
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,879
Speaker 1: before he shugged him off. No get off me. It's

1029
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 1: like your kid's like, no, no, no, come on, we gotta go. No, no, no,

1030
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: get your hand, like I'm a big boy, now be loon.

1031
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: I don't need you, old man. So you add all

1032
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: that and you're in Indiana, which means you're gonna get

1033
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 1: a little bit of the emotion of the crowd that's

1034
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: gonna come into play. And obviously Haliburton wanted to show

1035
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: up for his old man who had his banishment rescinded.

1036
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: And his first quarter is really one of the things

1037
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: for the Ages, right, We've seen it a couple of

1038
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,399
Speaker 1: times in these playoffs. It was like that guy's got

1039
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: a whole game's worth of stats by the end of

1040
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: the first Well, look, and that's the big thing. You

1041
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: want to say, this is overrated a little bit, but

1042
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: it's not. And the Pacers go ahead and break your arm,

1043
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 1: patting your self on the back, picking the game to

1044
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: put Halliburton's dad back in so he could come see it. Right,

1045
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: What did I say after Game three? It's a panic move.

1046
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 1: They want to try to get some look blowing that

1047
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: twenty point lead. We don't know where we are. Are

1048
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: we fragile now, so we don't want the Knicks to

1049
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: have an advantage. They could have put Halliburton's dad back

1050
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 1: in the game for Game three, but no, let's save it.

1051
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: They needed it for Game four. And I don't think

1052
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:26,399
Speaker 1: there's any there's any coincidence that Halliburton's dad comes back

1053
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: to watch the games and Halliburton has the greatest game

1054
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,240
Speaker 1: of his career. A stat line in the NBA playoffs

1055
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 1: we have never seen in NBA history thirty two fifteen assists,

1056
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: twelve rebounds, zero turnovers zero. We have never seen that

1057
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: in any game ever an NBA and basketball history, like

1058
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:47,760
Speaker 1: going all the way back to like the mid nineties,

1059
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: and they first started to keep a track of stuff

1060
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 1: like this way, you know, no one blow a lead

1061
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: like that. It's game one. I don't think there's any

1062
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,919
Speaker 1: coincidence there. And you say, oh, how big a deal

1063
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: is that. No, obviously it's a big deal. They brought

1064
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: him back for a reason. They brought him back for

1065
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: this game. My dad is back at the game, and

1066
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: the Pacers just find a way to get juiced up

1067
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: to play the next man. Right, But as we talked

1068
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: about it, can you talk about panic, desperation, savvy, you know,

1069
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: decide where you're at in that continuum, but you're you're

1070
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: trying to find an edge, and that certainly gave a lift.

1071
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: How many shots into the booth did you have of

1072
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 1: him tonight? Every other count like watching Taylor Swift at

1073
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 1: a football game, there's pops, there's pops. There is again Okay,

1074
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 1: yeah we hit the over on him.

1075
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 3: There is fast.

1076
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 1: But with that first quarter, I mean it was a

1077
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: clinic and anything he did put the ball near the rim.

1078
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: Find uh. Not often do you have that level of

1079
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: acumen uh and accuracy where your teammates are taking care

1080
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: of you when you're racking up assists that to that level, right,

1081
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: because normally on a pass they're going to fumble it

1082
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: and the turnover is gonna get credited to you. That

1083
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: didn't happen to right sure handedness. But part of that

1084
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 1: is also the inability at times for the Knicks to

1085
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: move their feet and get into position to create that

1086
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: chaos as opposed to a nice clean look, which we

1087
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,919
Speaker 1: saw time and time again. We'd be remiss. We didn't

1088
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: bring up the Matherin aspect of this, because he has

1089
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: the game of his life. Off the bench, Dave, the

1090
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: Pacers have all had the games of their lives. For

1091
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: his sties, he goes for twenty and gave you ten

1092
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: of eleven free throws, played a total of twelve minutes.

1093
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: Twelve minutes. That's how big an impact. But he also

1094
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: shook things up repeatedly where you've got him doing full

1095
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: on takedowns like he's in Greco Roman wrestling. But think

1096
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: about the look you say, you say, Matheren Mathern did

1097
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: have a big nightre twenty points and twelve minutes, Right,

1098
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 1: he was fantastic. Right, you have Halliburton had the game

1099
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: of his life. Sure did Siakam have the game of

1100
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: his life in game two? Yes? Yeah, I might argue

1101
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 1: that didn't you Smith have the game of his life?

1102
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 3: And one? Yeah?

1103
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: Okay, So now you've had four guys have the games

1104
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: of their lives in this series. And sack Met went

1105
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 1: for thirty five and two tonight and he'd say, hey,

1106
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: I don't even care, but this is what you didn't

1107
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 1: get the knicks defensively. I mean, this is what a

1108
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: complete and total failure. This is like the knickser is

1109
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: like you know in football when when you see a

1110
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: big you see a big collegiate team playing, and also

1111
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: Ren it's like it's a stat game for us, like

1112
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: we're just you know, this is a game for our

1113
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: quarterback to throw for two hundred yards and five touchdowns

1114
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: before he comes out of the game, like the Nick

1115
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: this is, these are stat games for the Pacers that

1116
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,240
Speaker 1: four different players have the absolute games of their lives

1117
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: so far in this suit, No, Nie Smith only needed

1118
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 1: a quarter to do it. I mean that's when you

1119
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: play the next telling that it helps when you play

1120
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 1: and you play defense like this, but that's the defense,

1121
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: like you're talking tired legs. And even here, you got

1122
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: thirty six minutes from Heart off the bench, he goes

1123
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 1: for what twelve and eleven but falls out. Shammit, gave

1124
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: you eleven minutes he was a plus six three three

1125
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 1: points for him. Uh And then fifteen minutes from McBride,

1126
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: who took three shots, he was minus fourteen. He was terrible.

1127
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 1: But you don't have the depth of bench to really

1128
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 1: buy these guys out, and they tried to in the

1129
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 1: second quarter because Brunson sat for a while, right hanging

1130
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: around to where you could steal him an extra minute

1131
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 1: here and there, thinking it would help down the stretch.

1132
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 1: But they also did full on raptor defense of I

1133
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: don't know that any of your guys help him out,

1134
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 1: Like what, he's about to get doubled from the backside,

1135
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, like hey, you got a

1136
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 1: second guy that's about to reach in for the ball,

1137
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 1: and now you're sprawled out on the floor wishing and

1138
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: hoping that it rolls to the feet of one of

1139
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 1: your teammates. Not a lot of help for him.
