Last Joe, 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:14.000 this game was unbelievable. I down fourteen, I mean I 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.400 think there was down in minutes ten, with like two 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:19.040 two minutes to go, I was like, well, hey, let 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.720 me go change out of my my workout little stuff 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.840 and get ready to go down there and do night cap. 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.920 And I come back downstairs and it's one twenty three 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.480 to one twenty one, and Cat said the free throw live. 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:31.920 I'm like, okay, Cat, make both of these. They got 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:37.200 an uphill client he missed one. Uh oh, now we're 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.560 gonna play a free throw game. We're gonna play free 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:41.480 throw game, Joe, that what we be about to do. Hey, 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:43.400 I ain't gonna try to get it all back in 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.960 one shot. I'm gonna see how y'all have no pressure. 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.520 And boy, this was the unbelievable ball game. Pascal sey'all 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.880 comes seventeen points, aaron Ne Smith thirty points, Miles turn 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:58.120 Of fourteen points, Nim Hard fifteen points. Tyrese Halibert was 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:02.560 sensational tonight thirty one points, eleven assists. They won this 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.600 game because they took care of the basketball. Yep, they 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:10.040 had seven turnovers in an overtime game total, so four 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.119 quarters of basketball plus five minutes of overtime, they had 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:17.160 seven turnovers. Jalen Brunson alone had seven turnovers. And that 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.280 was the difference in the ball game. They've got to 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.240 do a better job of making those free throws. Also, 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.280 they was twenty eight or forty, so in other words, 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.839 they got to the line forty times and they only 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.160 cash twenty eight times. Joe, you watched this game, and 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.280 I know, look and I'm like, damn, y'all got to 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.160 stop something in there, because I thought I was gonna 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:36.400 be able to have to come on the show Joe 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.880 and say, Joe, they got to stop something. 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:39.640 They can't. 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.760 Let can't go get thirty five, Let Brunson get forty three. 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:47.160 Let this guy do this. They said, well, watch us. 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.120 And when they needed to make plays late in the 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.000 ball game, they made every play. 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:52.640 They made every right pass. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:57.000 What is it that the Pacers did in the last 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.560 two minutes of the game and in overtime that they 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.440 were able to go on the road, be down as 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.240 many as fourteen late in the fourth, down by nine 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.960 with like two minutes to go, and win this ball game. 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.640 Oh man, what a hell of a game. On hell 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:11.200 of a game. 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.640 I thought the Pacers have done what they've done pretty 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:18.800 much this entire postseason when they've been counted out. You know, 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:23.160 they got guys who step up, still play inspiration basketball 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.200 down the stretch. I think Nate Smith was the player 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.159 of the game to me, man, the way I do too. 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.320 The way they were down, he was still playing hard 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.640 fish and he shot eight for nine from three, I 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.360 don't know, from the free throw line, yeah, yeah, four 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:39.960 for four from the free throw line, eight for nine 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.240 for three. I'm not sure you're gonna count on that 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:46.240 every night, but tonight he was special and he gave 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.560 them their lift that they needed. But they got contributions 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.400 from some of everybody. Look at that best TJ. 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:50.919 Mcconaugh. 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.159 Come in and you don't get no drop off, Like 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.599 he's not gonna hurt you. He gonna help you in 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.320 every facet of the game. And I thought, man, they 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.200 were just relentless down the stretch, even to start the game. 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:02.760 I thought they came out ready to play. 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:04.520 They picked I ain't know we was watching the NBA 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:06.320 or the n c a A the way them dudes 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.760 picking up full court, they picking up, they picking up 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.960 full court the entire game. And I guess they hold 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.640 their whole idea is to wear brunting down, to wear 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.960 the knicks down, because you know they're only gonna play 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:20.559 about seven guys and any throwing about eighty nine dudes 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.039 at you who are all dogs, and they coming in 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.800 and they getting all the straps. It was a beautiful 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.520 game tonight, man. I know everybody in New York is his. 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.039 They're sick. They sick. 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.120 I hadn't seen the Knicks fans this sick. Maybe since 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.679 Ice Tray did what he did. Yeah, it got quiet 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.920 in the other night man, it got quiet, and that 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.760 uh you can hear, you can hear. You could hear 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:45.920 Red pel on Cot. Hello, I'm talking about the bell. 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:47.000 Look that's how quiety was. 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.120 Joe. I was like, good, good about it. Hey. 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.680 And then when Halliberg hit hit to Hit the ridge 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.160 and the choke joined at the l and he was 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:54.840 still on the line. 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:56.200 I said, oh, yeah, you know he got to come 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.000 out and play hard. Now he didn't. He didn't. He 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.440 Didne had a little little early sell celebration. Yeah he 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.080 had yeah. Yeah. I was like, oh yeah, they got 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:03.440 this one. 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.800 And I came out, I celebrated, asked like a ashy shilling, 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:08.479 like it was a two point. 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:09.440 I say two dog. 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:13.320 No, he's behind the line. I said, oh this band, 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.560 no Pool the kd older. Hey, but look you look 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.280 how they gain. They composed you the overtime and it 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.480 still came out and put their mark from the game. 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:20.680 Bro. 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.600 Hey, look we might look up uncle. This inny other 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.400 team could be in the finals. This is what I 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.480 was talking about because they're so unpredictable because they got 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.640 guys like Nate Smith, who you may not count on 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.960 to give you thirty every night, but he won you 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.160 a game to night, so the next night it may 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.680 be somebody else. He could be Pascal Siactle, you know 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:39.760 what I mean, It could be somebody else. So they 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.960 got a multitude of cats who are willing to step up, 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.360 who take that challenge, and they competing at the highest level. 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.640 I thought the Knicks played great. You know, Brunton and. 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.800 You got four You got fifteen to twenty five from 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.400 Brumps and forty three points. You got level of seventeen 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:58.080 from cat thirty five points, twelve rebounds. 0:06:58.680 --> 0:06:59.680 Come on now, you I. 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.800 Mean you got sixteen from oh G got a you 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:07.400 got sixteen from Michal Bridges, you got eight, thirteen and 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:11.120 seven with a steal from Josh Hart. 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.960 I mean, with damn they they played. 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:16.680 They played well up the way they had the game 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.000 in their hands, but it seemed like laid down the stretch. 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.840 They was having these mental lessons where they were almost 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.080 turning the ball over, but they kept getting away. I'm like, 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.760 hold on Indiana gonna make them pay for this, and 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:30.680 they just kept throwing these little little lackadaisical passes and 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:32.520 end up getting these turnovers. 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.000 Man, Indiana is relentless, bro. 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.600 They they they filed the team and they ready, they 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:42.280 ready for the moment down And we've seen this from 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.600 there in three games down the stretch against Cleveland, they 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.240 find ways just like we saw the Knicks do this 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.360 down the stretch against Detroit. We saw them do this 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:55.679 down the stretch against Boston and clutch moments, they find 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.440 ways to win. They make the right pass, they hit 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:01.160 the big shot. They do everything ain't right, They get stilled, 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:04.040 they play passing lanes. I mean, look both teams. 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:04.480 I was like. 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.720 Jaylen Brush was fifteen to twenty five, Kat was eleven 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.600 or seventeen. But Nick, this is what y'all known for. 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.160 Y'all known for defense. Y'all let Tyre's Haliburton go twelve 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.560 to twenty three. Y'all let them har go six or ten. 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.160 Y'all let Myles turn and go six of eleven. Aaron 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:23.480 Nasmith missed four shots. He was nine of thirteen, eight 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.680 or nine from the three. The only guy that really 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.880 shot less than fifty percent. That played heavy minute was 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:33.120 really Pascal Siakam. Yeah, seven or sixteen. Other than that, 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.640 they shot fifty one percent from the floor. Now this 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.320 is what Look, we know Indiana can play defense, and 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.560 they played it really good down the stretch. But they're 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:41.599 a team that want to get it out of the 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.760 net or getting off the rim. But they want to push. 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.480 They'll give you, they'll give you a basket to get 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.560 a quicker basket because they want the tempo. They won't 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.360 they won't tempo and they know, oh it's easy this 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.439 oh oh we hey, yeah it's easy. And next day 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.200 you know, you want a tract me And they used 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.199 saying both you know, yeah, because they gonna give you 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.079 some easy with some good looks. That's gonna sed that's 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.760 gonna seduce you into playing that style of play and 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:08.240 that thing. 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:08.480 You know. 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.599 Look, we got one hundred and thirty eight hundred and 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.480 thirty five point game. This is what the Pacers want. 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.800 They don't think you can put this paint Knicks, Knicks. 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.160 This is not the pace the Knicks want to play 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.680 at or need to play at. Look, you gotta slow 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:23.839 this tempo down, I mean, and you look, you got 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:26.439 sixty nine points at the half. That's right up, that's 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:29.360 right up there. The pacers alley. They want to they 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.440 want to see they want a sixty five seventy five 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:33.360 halftime pace. 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.280 It was right. They want to they want to get 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:37.120 up and down. 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.760 Yeah, and when you play that style, you need to 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.360 be very very careful because I don't know if that's 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:47.120 what you're equipped to do. And look, Cat played phenomenal tonight. 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.840 I thought Bronson played for nomenal. I mean, both teams 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.240 played really well tonight. Now they caught some ticket tag 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.520 stuff early, but late in the ball game, they did 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:56.640 not want the Knicks to lose. 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:58.520 That was an and one on topic. 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.280 And the cap Bridget he got him in the chest 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:02.800 and he hit him on the arm and on the 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:04.360 shoulder and they didn't call it. 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:05.160 That was a damn one. 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:06.800 That should have been a chance for him to go 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:08.920 to the line and have a four point lead. 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:09.520 I agree. 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.840 I agree on the rebound. They damp y'all, But Kee, 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.080 I bring you poured the band down again. He was like, damn, 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.520 you poured the band playing down. And they're like, hey, 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.719 play hey, Mitchell Irvin. That's why I got Mitch a. 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.160 They're like, play on I was like, with damn, y'all, 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.239 ain't gonna call it no foult right, Hey, this playoff basketball. 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.600 And another thing I will say, because Indiana is so deep. 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.199 And remember I've always talked about they got at least 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.280 six guys who averaged double figures in the playoffs. Yep, 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.280 this doesn't surprise me that Nate Smith had a game 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:38.679 like this. 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:40.360 What what? What? 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.520 What I was really concerned about the knicks was down 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:44.640 the stretch. You see how these shots kept coming up short. 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.000 He had the legs go. They had them legs gone 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.000 because you don't play it at this tempo that you 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:52.880 ain't necessarily accustom to playing at every night in Indiana. 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.040 This is what they do because they don't really have 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.439 guys who playing forty five forty. 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.440 Two minutes a night. So uh, this was an up. 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:05.839 And down game and you know, and and and in 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:07.600 favor of the. 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.520 Pacers, and wow, it didn't disappoint. 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:10.719 Man. 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.120 When they hit that shot, I was like, oh my god. 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.560 After but I said, I was like, man, hey, when 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.160 it hit and we're straight up and there, I watched 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.240 this thing go in. I was like, yeah, Joe, Joe, 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:23.959 I mean, I said, watch this thing go. I told 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.480 Shell I said, shall I watch this go in? And 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.040 she she started screaming because of it. I was like, 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:34.120 oh my goodness. There's a difference walking on the treadmill 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.000 for forty five minutes versus jogging or sprinting on the 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.680 treadmill for forty five minutes. And you see, the pacers 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:45.079 are used to sprinting on the treadmill, so you sprint 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.040 for forty five versus team that. Oh oh I exercised, 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:49.679 I get my exercised in okay. 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:49.840 Yeah. 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.040 It kind of like when I tell people like, look, 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:57.040 you can do lip weight and then you can do cardio. 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.520 But when you combine the two, that when you can 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:04.480 see somebody car your capacity. Because I'm combining, I'm more 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.560 force you to use your strength, your muscles and the 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:11.000 other muscle that heart. So if you notice, sometimes you 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.319 get guys that are really strong and you can get 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.439 even find someone that's really good at cardio. But when 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:21.600 I combine the two, now like oh damn yeah, And 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.640 that's what the pacers want you to do. They want 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.200 you to they want you to get up and down. 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.080 They want you to try to say, oh man, we 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:29.559 about to get one hundred and thirty. We about to 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.240 get one hundred and forty. Hey, we've seen the Knicks. 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.320 We've seen the Pacers a couple of times this year. 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:38.640 Get one forty, get one hundred and fifty points in regulation. 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.439 You gotta be careful playing at their temple, playing at 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:46.160 their pace. I thought this game looked if somebody if 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.800 I tell you, what if somebody told you, if you're 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.760 a Nick fan and somebody say, hey, Brunt's gonna shoot 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:53.560 twenty five times, he's gonna make fifteen of them. He's 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.440 gonna have forty three points. Cat's gonna have thirty five 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.760 and twelve like what we won the game. 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:03.240 Yeah, if we won the game, absolutely, that's what you're saying. 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.400 If your two big guns and they fired, and they 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.800 go off and they're efficient while they're doing it. Now, 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.600 if Brunston had forty three points and they took him 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.120 thirty two shots to get it, I ain't impressed with that. 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.200 If Kat had thirty five and it took him twenty 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.120 five shots to get it, I ain't impressed with that. 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.600 It took Cash seventeen shots to get thirty five points. 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.800 It Bronston twenty five shots to get forty three. They 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.840 shot fifty one percent from the floor. But they gave 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.400 up fifty one percent from the floor. They gave up 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.959 forty one percent from the three point line where you 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:37.320 ask it. And you didn't turn them over like you 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.559 did Boston. You didn't turn them over like you did Detroit. 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.760 Now they got really good ball handlers. Halliburton's gonna have 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.920 the ball in his hand, and he's not a turnover guy. 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.680 McConnell comes in, he's not a turnover guy. The thing 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.280 I like about McConnell, he knows who and what he is. 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:53.240 Like. 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.480 I'm not Tyrese Haliburton, I'm not Shay Gilgers, I'm not 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:58.439 Luca I'm not one of these guys. 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:00.400 Hey, I don't need to be fast. 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.079 All this between my legs and behind my back and 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.800 and Herkie jer gets this is why I'm effective though, 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:10.280 I'm gonna get it. I'm effective and I'm gonna get 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.959 it done. And I promise you, wherever we at, I'm 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:14.920 gonna take us to another level. We ain't gonna never 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:18.480 drop off. That's why I love TJ. McConnell. And you know, uh, 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.320 his presence that he brings on the court. It ain't pretty, 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.720 it ain't the prettiest but I promise you as a 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.080 backup PG. I don't know if it can get too 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.760 much better than him. Yeah, he comes in with it 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:29.400 on his mind. 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:29.600 Man. 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:35.480 He's he's aggressive offensively and defensively. He's a pest. Yes, yes, 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.400 he moves him pupp as well, just like Peyton Pritchard 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:41.200 for Exceltic. It's like Peyton Privy. But not even just him, 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.720 you know, even these other guys, the Obi Toppings, the 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.240 Mattherins when they come home. 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:46.320 Obie was great tonight. 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:50.160 They all our defensive minded and then offensively it kind 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:53.280 of fuels the offensive where they able to get steals, 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.040 get in the passing lanes, get get fast break points, 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:57.640 and then it kind of gives them get them going. 0:14:58.200 --> 0:14:58.400 Man. 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.480 I thought Indiana was special tonight in that atmosphere. Can 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.560 you imagine what it's like playing in there on a 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.680 wait team like them dudes came in man, I'm talking 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.480 about from the start of the game. I felt they 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.800 they imposed they will and they never gave up. Even 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.040 when they were down fourteen points. You know, they were 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.840 still fighting. They were still under three minutes points off turnovers. 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:22.440 In game one, the Pacers for seventeen turn fifteen turnovers, 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:25.880 they got twenty seven points. The Knicks four to seven turnovers, 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.720 they got four points. The Knicks had a ninety nine 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:33.520 points seven ninety nine point seven percent chance of winning 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.120 the game. With two minutes and fifty one seconds they're 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:40.160 up fourteen, teams up fourteen plus and the final two 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.400 and a half two minutes and fifty seconds in a playoff, 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.440 fourth quarter game or overtime, and the play by play 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:51.600 era nine hundred seventy seven and one, the one you 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:55.560 just witnessed it tonight. If you watch this game and 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:57.800 the shot and the play by play era, I think 0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:59.880 the play by play goes back nineteen ninety six, ninety 0:15:59.880 --> 0:16:03.880 six them correct. I think that's when they started to 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.920 play by play. You're talking about nine hundred and seventy 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:13.320 seven and one. He had in that span nineteen ninety six. Okay, 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.400 in that span the last three minutes of the game, 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.640 I made three's and they seemed like forever, seemed like 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:22.040 three hours. Oh man, Look they kept getting three, they 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.600 get a stop like it was just they kept trails like, man, 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.920 the ain't not finna come back. And I'll bet I'll 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:38.000 be damn. This was This was an amazing game. And 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:40.480 hopefully we get six more. Oh, Joe, I don't know why. 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.800 I know you was having technical difficulties trying to get 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:46.120 logged on. But the Pacers come back one thirty eight, 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:49.200 one thirty five down fourteen points with two minutes and 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.520 under three minutes left in the ball game. And you 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:53.640 heard me read off the stat they have a ninety 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.480 nine points seven percent chance of winning. And the play 0:16:56.520 --> 0:17:00.880 by player ear which started in nineteen ninety six, teams 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:05.120 are nine hundred and seventy seventy zero until tonight, when 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.600 you're up by that many points with that few time, 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:11.280 without that few times on the flock, and the Knicks 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:13.960 gave it away. Give them credit. They passed the lane, 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:18.040 they were getting deflections. They almost they almost got it earlier. Yeah, 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:21.480 mim hard almost got one, got another one. 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:23.920 Yeah, But this game was sensational night. 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:27.280 Aaron Neith Smith thirty points, nine of thirteen, eight of 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:31.840 nine from the three point line. He scored twenty big 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.000 points in the fourth. Aaron Eith Smith this playoff, he's 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.720 thirty five point thirty five. 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:41.080 What thirty five May threes? He has thirty five May threes. 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:45.240 He's third in the NBA fifty four percent from three 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.520 point line. 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:51.959 Yeah, hey, hey, young and Joe, listen, this is what 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:53.359 I call playoff basketball. 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:53.600 Now. 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.920 I've watched some basketball over the years on so I've 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:58.399 never seen a game like the night. 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:00.240 I've never seen the game like to night, when. 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:02.480 Your two big guns are on fire and they're hitting 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:05.760 on all cillingers like they like cat in Brunsonborg. You 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.480 expected to win a game like this when you that 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:11.560 amount of points, whether that little time left to go 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:15.560 in the game, You not expecting the other team to 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.880 come back and win, regardless of circumstance, that any hypothetical 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.439 you come up with. But what we saw tonight, it 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:23.560 seemed unreal. It was like something out of a movie. 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:25.920 This is how move how this is how movie story 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:30.360 endings happened. They happened like what we saw tonight. It's 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:34.080 a great game. You you said it too. The Knicks 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.120 won't be able to keep up with that offensive pace. 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:37.719 I think they need to. They need to play at 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.520 their own pace and not playing the way the places 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.120 played used to, running up and down the floor, back 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:46.680
