20
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: I have nothing left. It's Game one of the Eastern

21
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: Conference Finals and it's not even over.

22
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, lock it in and rip the knob off.

23
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: Let's go lead the Pacers one thirty one, one thirty

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: with a minute forty five left to go in overtime.

25
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: How did we get here? Because the Pacers down fourteen

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: with three and a half minutes left to go, keep

27
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: hitting threes and Tyrese Haliburton hits what looked like it

28
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: was a three that hits the back of the rim,

29
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: bounces straight up in the air about eight feet, comes

30
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: back down through the hoop. However, he had his foot

31
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: on the line. Pretty easy to see his foot was

32
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: on the line, so no controversy there. But yet another

33
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: big hoop by the Pacers. They close incredibly, We're in

34
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: overtime with about a minute and a half left to go.

35
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: I just I just want to say, I hope the

36
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: other ninety nine percent of NBA fans have enjoyed the

37
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: last few minutes of this.

38
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: Game, because I have not no, no, no, It's okay. The

39
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: other ninety nine percent of people, I hope they enjoy

40
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: it because I really have. Now for the radio audience,

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: if you you follow me on Twitter at Swollen Dome

42
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: I put out earlier, you know, hey join us as

43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: Varsity Club assembles at seven o'clock because we'll watch and

44
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: live and die with you on each possession. I'm showing

45
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: you the shot chart from the fourth quarter as we

46
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: sit here. You can't see it on the radio, but

47
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: all of the little blue dots for the Pacers from

48
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: three point range. Nick's pretty efficient in the paint. Not

49
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 2: so much from the outside. Yeah, absolute opposite. You saw

50
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: Nie Smith amongst others, and then your nemesis Nemhard shining

51
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: bright as well both and he like neon lights. Yeah.

52
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: If it's shining on Broadway, it's any in the Pacers

53
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, and it's the Knicks, you're going to

54
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 2: do well. So I hope everybody else can can enjoy

55
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: because I couldn't enjoy it. I could not enjoy go

56
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: well you did with the bottom man until the final

57
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: two and a half minutes right fourteen point lead on.

58
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: Jason asked me if I enjoyed it? Frostburg, did you

59
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: enjoy it?

60
00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 3: Hell?

61
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, remember that nine Burg's one of the ninety nine percent.

62
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: He was with me until the Knicks eliminated the Celtics,

63
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: and now he's away from it. He broke to Tokobe

64
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: in peace, accord, it's okay, and now here we are

65
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 2: he's gonna.

66
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: Shut down the Avengers. Yeah, that's right, it's being shut

67
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: down Brunton out the free throw line. He hits both

68
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: free throws. The Knicks lead at one thirty three, one

69
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: thirty two with a little over a minute left to

70
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: go in overtime. Where we where if the Knicks lose

71
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: this game. I don't know, man, I don't know. If

72
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: the Knickson win another game this series, where does it rank?

73
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 2: And the all time collapses of playoff games every twenty years?

74
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: Apparently it's Reggie Miller with the choke sign. It's Halliburton

75
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: hitting the shot he thought would win the game, making

76
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: the choke sign thinking the game was over, not realizing

77
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: his foot was on the line. So when we wind

78
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: up going to overtime, they still have to play. I mean,

79
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: just an incredible run here in the last few minutes

80
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: that if the again, if the Knicks lose this game,

81
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: Obi Toppen just got a rebound dunk former Nick to

82
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: give the Pacers the lead with about fifty five seconds

83
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: left to go. I mean, i'd really if the Knicks

84
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: lose this game, I don't know how you come back

85
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: from this the rest of the series. I how you

86
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: blow a fourteen point lead at home in game one.

87
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how you do it.

88
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, just said an amazing run you had. Haliburton with

89
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: a good ball, fake defender flies by, miss is the

90
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: three but top and comes flying in just in incredible sequencing.

91
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: Brunson makes the shot to put the Knicks ahead by one.

92
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: But living and dying with each possession are you.

93
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: And Tyrese Halliburton, who is having the game of his

94
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: life right now. A big drive and dish for a layup.

95
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: Nempard goes in to give the Paces a one thirty six,

96
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: one thirty five lead. Time out on the floor now

97
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: with twenty six and a half seconds left to go.

98
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: I had to know what to say, Like, this is

99
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: a heavyweight fight, and sometimes game one can be everything.

100
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: Sometimes game one is just game one.

101
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: But wow, I'm telling you, man, if the Knicks lose

102
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: this game, I really I don't know how you come

103
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: back from this.

104
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 2: I really don't. Well, we've got cheated out of the

105
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 2: final minutes that we're supposed to be. Here's everybody on

106
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: celebrity row. I haven't gotten any of those. Wow, he's

107
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: almost gotten run over a couple of times, so that's

108
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: why he's near the chacers. Bench. No, he has not

109
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: as of yet. But yeah, I don't know that I've

110
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: actually seen Challaby. Did he stay home? I don't know,

111
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 2: but you're guy nemhard. He's got fifteen all five starters

112
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 2: for the Pacers at least fourteen points scored. Turner had

113
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: that hot start. He's been a bystander here, you know,

114
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 2: still rebounding and doing the other work, but scoring column

115
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: being filled by everybody else on this squad right now.

116
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: Plus add ten from McConnell off the bench. Great balance

117
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: as you would expect from the Pacers squad, but just

118
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: an insane final two and a half minutes of regulation,

119
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: leading overtime, wide open looks, good ball movement by the

120
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: Pacers and attempts to close out, but you leave your feet,

121
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 2: get taken by the ball fake and then it you

122
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: look around and you got some wide open looks. You know.

123
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 2: That's the thing is that the two things from this

124
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: game is the Knicks missed two big free throws in

125
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 2: the final twenty five seconds. Karl Anthony Towns misses a

126
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 2: free throw and Ogiannu Noobi misses a free throw that

127
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: would have made this irrelevant because then it would have

128
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: been here's Halliburton shot potentially tie the games, but the

129
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 2: play would have probably unfolded differently because they would have

130
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 2: absolutely needed a three. So that's kind of where it

131
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: would be.

132
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: But the fact that all you have to do when

133
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: you're up by that much, with that time left, with

134
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: that much time left, I don't know how you don't

135
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: just say, Okay, no threes, right, no threes.

136
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 2: That's what it is. No threes. Don't allow threes. And

137
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: and they just kept finding a way to get open

138
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: and get open, and get open. They kept finding a

139
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 2: way to get open, and and and the Knicks kept

140
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: allowing threes when it was clearly something that you needed

141
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: to not be able to to just dis just don't

142
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: allow it. Let them go, let them go in for laffs,

143
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: let them go twos or not threes.

144
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: And they kept getting threes, and now it looks like

145
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: the Pacers are going to have the ball with the lead.

146
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: In twenty five seconds left, there was a pass from

147
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: Ogianronobi to Jalen Brunson that goes off the hands. Nembard

148
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: gets his hand in there to deflect it, but it

149
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: looks like the ball deflects off of Nemhart and then

150
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: hits Jalen Brunson. So the ball goes out of bounds.

151
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: Right now, it's Knick's ball, but it looks like they're

152
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: gonna reverse it and it's gonna go back to the Pacers.

153
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: An awful turnover by the Knicks here. I mean, I'm

154
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: telling you, like I'm seeing the end of this game going.

155
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: This is gonna be an all time one of the

156
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: all time worst losses in Nick's history that we're looking

157
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: at right now.

158
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brunson reaching for the ball, trying to get it

159
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 2: in bounds as quickly as he could, you know, one

160
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: of those I know that's off me kind of moments,

161
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: and the look on his face, the countenance a bit dejected.

162
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: We don't normally see that from Brunson, but this one

163
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: a huge play, a huge challenge coming up here as

164
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: we've got eighteen point nine seconds remaining. But to your

165
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: larger point, right, they did everything right. They were able

166
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: to time with Brunson on the bench in the second

167
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: we talked about it, seven minutes of your backups in

168
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: taking care of business, extending the lead. Later in the game,

169
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: he's in foul trouble, he's on the bench taking care

170
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: of business. Extending, maintaining the lead, and then you have

171
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: the final two and a half minutes that are worse

172
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: than anything else going out from a twenty four at

173
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: stand ups and previews, you know, cinema con and all

174
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: of those kind of things.

175
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: It looks like it's gonna be the ruling is coming in.

176
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: It is off Brunson, so they're putting time back on

177
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: the clock. So twenty seconds now left to go, but

178
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: the Knicks are gonna have to foil because the Pacers

179
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: have the ball they're up on. That is just a

180
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: horrendous turnover. Not a great pass by Anonnobe, but still

181
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: something that Brunson's got to get his hands on because.

182
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: Watching the replay, I don't even know if if Nebar

183
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 2: even got his hand on the ball. Looked like he

184
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: just got his hand in there and it went off

185
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 2: of Brunson and went out of bounds. I don't even

186
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: know that he got his hand on the ball. Yeah,

187
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: depending on the camerangle. The one we saw was a

188
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: bit inconclusive, but certainly it's moot at this point, clearly

189
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 2: off Brunson.

190
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 1: On the weekend, the ensuing possession right now still one

191
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: thirty six, one thirty five. Obi Toppin just gets the

192
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: inbounds pass and goes in for a slam.

193
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 2: He goes and this is an.

194
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: NBA slam dunk contest dunk that he goes in for

195
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: to give the Pacers a one thirty six, a one

196
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: thirty eight, one thirty five lead now with fifteen seconds

197
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: left to go. So no trying to get to the

198
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: free throw line for the Pacers.

199
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 2: They go in, get the easy bucket, and so now

200
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 2: it's the Knicks with a three point facing a three

201
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: point deficit with fifteen seconds left to go. He was

202
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: fouled on the way up, but it doesn't look like

203
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 2: they called the foul. Again, I'm try trying to do

204
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 2: the show and talk about what happens. Yeah, he didn't

205
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: bear the brunt of it either. I get popped in

206
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: the face. Yeah, Mitchell Robinson went up and clearly committed

207
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: a foul on top and I don't believe he got

208
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: whistled for it. So I think it's gonna wind up

209
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: being nick basketball with fifteen seconds left in their down three,

210
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: even though Brett Goldstein kept yelling whistle whistle, So where

211
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: so I got.

212
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: The volume up here, guys, And it was hilarious and

213
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 3: you'll you'll hear it during the break. We can't play

214
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: it unless we bleep it.

215
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: Okay, oh okay, sure.

216
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 3: And the ball went off Bronson. When they reversed the call,

217
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 3: somebody in the crowd yelled.

218
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: Bool, duty that was spike, Lee. I'm sure it was spiked.

219
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: Nobody told it. It might have been shallow may shout, hey,

220
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: shout drunk and an absolute catastrophe at the garden. What

221
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 2: looked like it was going to be a crowding achievement

222
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 2: and a blowout victory. Now we've got a three point game,

223
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: nixt looking to inbound with fifteen point three.

224
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: I mean again, this is gonna be disaster for the Knicks.

225
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: This is I really, I don't know how you would

226
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: come back after this. Jalen Brunson misses a three and

227
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: it goes. It doesn't even draw iron and Karl Anthony

228
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: Towns three hits the front of the rim with a

229
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: couple of seconds left to go. The Knicks now the

230
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: ball is out of bounds with two tenths of a

231
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: second left to go. I believe it's Indiana basketball and

232
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it. And the Pacers are going to

233
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: absolutely steal Game one, in a game the Knicks had

234
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: all but wrapped up. I oh, man, I don't know

235
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: what to say. I really I don't know what to say.

236
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: I gotta get my mind right, Harmon. I need to

237
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: time out. No, this was truly I need to time

238
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: out of it.

239
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: Like you were calm, and I got to give you credit,

240
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 2: right because its close game first half. Maybe you were

241
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 2: just being nice to my ear drums. You weren't, you

242
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: weren't over the top, or maybe you just saw that

243
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: it was the Eastern Conference Finals so you needed to

244
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 2: be measured in your approach. Either way, I was very

245
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 2: concerned because we didn't get your normal Nick's vandom. And it's

246
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: like who took it? Who took your soul? I mean

247
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 2: we were we were. That would be the Pacers up

248
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 2: by fourteen with three and a half left, and and

249
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 2: somehow a perfect ending by the Pacers is going to

250
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: wind up when they're gonna wind up winning this game

251
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 2: no matter who gets the basketball. There's two tents in

252
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 2: a second left, so it's gonna be an incredible Knicks collapse. Again.

253
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: I don't know how you come back the rest of

254
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 2: the series for this. I get too wide open looks

255
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: here on this last possession, I could see. I could

256
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: see the Knicks losing by twenty in Game two. I

257
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 2: can see it happening.

258
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: I can There's no stopping Obie Topping on reel this guy.

259
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: Why you got Obie Topping jokes coming out of prosper

260
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: and former Nick Obi Topping. I mean, I mean, this

261
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: is going to go down as Okay or in Knicks

262
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 2: playoff history. It's gonna be the Reggie Miller, the threes

263
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: and the and and the choke, and it's going to

264
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 2: be this game. How do you what did you give

265
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: Topping for that dunk? On a scale of ten, That

266
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 2: was pretty good dunk. That's that's what you think because

267
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 2: you get a nine, like it's do you make it?

268
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: You get a nine just.

269
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: Kind of cocked it once and dunked it. I've seen

270
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: better dunks, but in the middle of a game that

271
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: gets about.

272
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: It not just a game, This is game one of these.

273
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: Can you ai a key underneath it?

274
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: It's a final now from the Garden Pacers win it

275
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,120

312
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: Had a big lead, Bud blew it down the stretch,

313
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: cat giving up threes and missing free throws and allowing

314
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: that big three. Hella Burton makes the choke sign. Hell

315
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 2: p Burton wanted him to eat it in over time.

316
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: They couldn't do it, and they lost.

317
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmen.

318
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: I I saw it, I watched it. I still can't

319
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: believe what I just saw. Yeah, A fourteen point lead

320
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: for the Knicks with three and a half left to go,

321
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: a nine point lead with fifty one seconds left to go,

322
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: but Aaron Smith scores twenty points in the fourth quarter,

323
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: including six threes.

324
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: Tyrese Halliburton ties it with a jumper that bounces off

325
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: the back of the iron eight feet in the air

326
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: and comes back down through the hoop. The Pacers win

327
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: it in overtime, and I don't know. I don't know

328
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: if the Knicks can take a game here at this point.

329
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: I don't know how you come back from this. I

330
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 2: really don't. This may be the worst Knicks playoff loss,

331
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: and this may be worse than the Reggie Miller game

332
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: in ninety five. This may be the worst loss because

333
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: of all of what goes along with this. It's the

334
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: Pacers again. You get the choke sign, a miracle three

335
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: that shouldn't have even went. Really, I don't know how

336
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: you come back from this. I really don't.

337
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: Uh Now, someone who might maybe feel better or may say, yeah, Jason,

338
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: this is how it's going. Fox Sports one NBA Insider Extraordinaire.

343
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 2: The struggle is real.

344
00:16:54,880 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 5: Ricks are happening, Jason. Yeah, the Pacers, they're happening. Hey,

345
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 5: it's just one game. At It's okay.

346
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: No, he's trying to figure out how to compose himself

347
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 2: at this point. Sorry, Rick, he's he's going through it,

348
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: that fourteen point lead, two and a half left and

349
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: then unable to close out and it becomes ni Smith,

350
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 2: so use it tomorrow and he kneon shining light on Broadway.

351
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 6: Yeah.

352
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 5: Hey, it's only one game, Jason, It's okay.

353
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 2: Rick, this is this is like one hundred games. This

354
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 2: is sometimes sometimes game one is game one. Sometimes game

355
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: one is everything. I don't know. I don't know how

356
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 2: you Rick, it's a fourteen point lead at home. You

357
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: blow it. All you have to do is keep saying

358
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 2: in the huddle, no threes, guys, last year, no threes,

359
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: no threes. Guess what.

360
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: Pacers keep hitting threes, pay keep hitting threes. And Halliburton

361
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: hits that miracle shot does the choke sign? I wanted

362
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: the Knicks to make him eat it in overtime. But no, no, no,

363
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: can't stop me.

364
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 5: O T.

365
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: Halliburton picks tonight to be the great Halliburton, and now

366
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: it's one. I really, mentally, I don't know where you

367
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: go from here. I really don't.

368
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 5: I don't honestly, I don't think you're giving these Nicks

369
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 5: enough credit. I do think that they are mentally tougher

370
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 5: than that. And look, Indiana, certainly, the Pacers have nothing

371
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 5: to lose. They're coming in with a ton of confidence,

372
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 5: as they should. I expected this to be a very

373
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 5: dramatic series. I had no idea that we were going

374
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 5: to get Game one like this. I thought the Knicks

375
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 5: would win Game one. I thought it would be close.

376
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 5: I was surprised that they were winning a game that

377
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 5: was as high scoring as this one was. And uh

378
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 5: and then lo and behold. It was like, oh, I

379
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 5: guess they're not so. But I just look, a lot

380
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,719
Speaker 5: of things have to go right for obviously for the

381
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 5: Pacers to pull this out. And yes, the Knicks had

382
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 5: I had that big lead, but I don't think there's

383
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 5: the Boston Celtics. I think they can look at a

384
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 5: lot of things. I think they got a little three

385
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 5: point happy down the stretch instead of continuing to attack

386
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 5: the rims and and and that was their downfall. And

387
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 5: then you had Jalen Brunston, who was you know, with

388
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 5: five fouls, kind of had to play different. Uh. It

389
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 5: is interesting how they're they are attacking him at the

390
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 5: defensive end, and they're going to have to figure something

391
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 5: out when it comes to that. But these teams are

392
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 5: so evenly matched that. Uh. And we've seen you said

393
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 5: the great we saw the great Ty Halliburton tonight. We've

394
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 5: seen times where we don't see the great Ty halliburt.

395
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 5: So I don't at this point in the playoffs. I

396
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 5: don't expect what we've seen to this point changed dramatically.

397
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 5: And what we've seen to this point is a New

398
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 5: York Knicks team that has that that is battle tested,

399
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 5: that's had to go through, uh, taking a couple of

400
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 5: punches and responding to them. Maybe not any as dramatic

401
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 5: and big as this one, but but they've had to

402
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 5: answer the bell. They did it, they've had to do

403
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 5: it from the first from the first series. And conversely,

404
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 5: we've seen Indiana be up and down at times. So honestly,

405
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 5: I still think that this is going to be a

406
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 5: very long series. And while I think it puts the

407
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 5: Knicks on their back foot at this point, I still don't.

408
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 5: I don't eliminate the possibility of them still winning the series.

409
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 2: Now clearly a miserable seven and a half minutes of

410
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: basketball as we're chronicling Rick, But before that, the second

411
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 2: quarter to me stood out as a giant growth moment

412
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 2: for the Knicks, where they were able to let Jalen

413
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 2: Brunson sit for almost seven minutes. So, I mean, I

414
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 2: think that would bode well for future returns that you've

415
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 2: saw some semblance of continuity that had eluded them in

416
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 2: the past.

417
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean a lot of that was built on

418
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 5: Campaign hitting a couple of threes, which he generally has

419
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 5: not done in the playoffs. Sure, and but Ogo and

420
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 5: Noby sort of taking over UH for for a period.

421
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 5: So yeah, I mean the fact is that Timms is

422
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 5: playing a deeper rotation at this point, and and they

423
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 5: have to have that you, I mean, pay Payne has

424
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 5: to get minutes, McBride has to get minutes. Mitchell Robinson

425
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 5: obviously is going to get minutes. If if if he

426
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 5: can play eight consistently, UH, and they can contribute, then

427
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 5: I don't think that the depth that the Pacers have

428
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 5: is going to be the issue. It really comes down

429
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 5: to your stars have to outplay their stars and and

430
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 5: or or even up their score their stars, and then

431
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 5: you have to have that next player down the line contribute.

432
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 5: And that player for the Pacers tonight was was in

433
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 5: was a Nie Smith And uh and I don't know

434
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 5: that the Knicks necessarily got that from from a third

435
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 5: or fourth guy.

436
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 2: Here's how here's how bizarro this few minutes is right here.

437
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 2: I don't think the Knicks are going to win a game,

438
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 2: and Rick is saying it's gonna be a long series.

439
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 2: Nicks are bouncing back like our roles. It's like we

440
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: did Freaky Friday, Rick, and we ran into each other

441
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 2: and I'm you and you're me right now?

442
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I know it's well, you know what I do.

443
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 5: What I can't Sason.

444
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 2: See me? I go Rick. In a week that it's

445
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 2: been all conspiracies for the NBA. After the ratings came

446
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 2: out for Game one of the Western Conference, I'd bet

447
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: more confident that the Knicks are going to make this

448
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 2: a longer series. How's that?

449
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 5: No doubt about it? I mean we're like, look, we're

450
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 5: I do a lot of TV these days, and you know,

451
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 5: the talker around the studio is, can we okay, we

452
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 5: can't get Minnesota, can we at least of New York?

453
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 5: Because Indiana? Okay? See, oh my god, what are we

454
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 5: going to do? Who's going to be tuning in to

455
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 5: get the latest updates on the series? No offense to

456
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 5: all my friends in Oklahoma City and Indianapolis, but the

457
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 5: reality is the size of those markets and their respective

458
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 5: teams do not draw a ton of national interests. But

459
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 5: I do believe in the big picture, this is what

460
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 5: Adam Silver wants because he's no longer looking at the

461
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 5: national audience as a thing that they're trying to attract.

462
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 5: He's trying to go to a global audience. And I

463
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 5: think that if you have a variety of teams competing

464
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 5: for titles, I think that spreads the wealth and that

465
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 5: gives the opportunity for more fans around the globe who

466
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 5: if they're not watching then I mean watching games. The

467
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 5: majority of the globe is not watching games. They're watching

468
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 5: highlights and they're buying merchandise, and that's where the NBA

469
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 5: is making its money. So it goes to it's natural

470
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 5: to think that the more teams that you have competitive,

471
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 5: the more jerseys you're going to sell.

472
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 2: Well that's what I said, Rick after the game.

473
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: I said, at least the ninety nine percent of NBA

474
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: fans enjoyed the last few minutes in overtime of this game.

475
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: I didn't, but at least ninety nine percent of the

476
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: fans did. Okay, great, all right, got that's fantastic.

477
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 5: I mean, I think, Jason, sometimes we have to make sacrifice.

478
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, take one for the team. It's a greater good thing, right,

479
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: it's a greater good.

480
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 5: But I mean, this is your night. Take one for

481
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 5: the team.

482
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 2: Rick, I hear what you're saying on all of this,

483
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 2: but I mean, honestly, this may be the most devastating

484
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: Knicks playoff loss in franchise history. Fourteen point lead with

485
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 2: two and a half left to go. Wait, like we

486
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 2: got a stat coming up on what team's wrecords are

487
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 2: in the play Else we have a fourteen point lead

488
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: with two and a half minutes left to go, and

489
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: not just that, it's to the Pacers, and it's a

490
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 2: miracle shot at the end, and Halliburton does the choke

491
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 2: sign and they lose an overtime and it's like, I mean,

492
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 2: I hear all you're saying, but all I keep saying

493
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 2: is I don't know. I still feel like I got

494
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 2: punched in the face like twenty times. I need smelling salts.

495
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, when you put it that way, you're right. The

496
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 5: series is over. No, I look, I get that, But

497
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 5: but missus Lincoln, how was the play? Yeah? I uh no,

498
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 5: I get all that, But I really the question is

499
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 5: are the players either buying into all that or are

500
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 5: they feeling all that? Are they feeling all that history?

501
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 5: Are they feeling all of that absolute gloom of doom.

502
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 5: I think a Knicks fan who has lived through all

503
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 5: of those things, it's feeling that a lot more than

504
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 5: in that locker room, just because it's kind of the

505
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 5: league that we're seeing now, which is crazy things happen.

506
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 5: I mean, how many record comebacks have we had? So

507
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 5: I don't know that they're looking at it from quite

508
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 5: the same historical perspective and saying, you know what, we

509
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 5: just suffered the worst loss in New York Knicks playoff history.

510
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 5: I still think there's a part of them that has

511
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 5: to be thinking we're the first mixed team in forever

512
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 5: that has actually made the Eastern Conference Finals and it's

513
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 5: Game one, and yes we lost it on our home floor,

514
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 5: and we blew a big lead, but we have demonstrated

515
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 5: that we have the capability of our racing big leads

516
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 5: and winning games down the stretch as well. So look,

517
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 5: Indiana did to us what we have done, what we

518
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 5: did to the defending champs, and so now we have

519
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 5: to go back and do it to them. And that

520
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 5: would be my That would be my rallying cry if

521
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 5: I was Tims and giving the speech after this.

522
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 2: Get you now, I have to contact all your producers

523
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 2: for the TV show over there on FS one. To

524
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 2: find Spike Lee at can the Camp Film Festival and

525
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 2: see how he's doing at rick Yukers where you find

526
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 2: him on Twitter. You see him on FS one. Here,

527
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: I'm here with us each and every week Jason Smith

528
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 2: Show with Me Mike carmon Fox Sports Radio MVP finally announced, Rick,

529
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 2: were you surprised that there was such a disparity in

530
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 2: the seventy one to twenty nine final?

531
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 5: I actually was. I thought it would be I thought

532
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 5: it would be a lot closer. And you know, the

533
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 5: difficulty is that announcing it so late in the process

534
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 5: and The reason for that, I was told is they

535
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 5: don't really like to announce it in the second week

536
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 5: of any round, and they didn't want the MVP to

537
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 5: be announced before any of the other awards. So that's

538
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 5: the reason. Whether you buy that or not, that's sort

539
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 5: of the explanation that the league, that the League is

540
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 5: giving for it coming out so late. The problem with

541
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 5: it coming out so late is now everybody's taking the

542
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 5: Nuggets Thunder theories as a referendum on whether it was

543
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 5: deserved or not, and it's like it's a regular season awards.

544
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 5: The votes were in, and you know, at that when

545
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 5: we were going through the first round, I heard just

546
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 5: as much about, you know, SDA is probably going to

547
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 5: win and it's going to be the greatest injustice ever.

548
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 5: I don't have a problem with SDA winning. He wasn't

549
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 5: at the top of my ballot. I was one of

550
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 5: the twenty nine that voted for Jokic simply because I

551
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 5: thought he was far more indispensable to the Nuggets success

552
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 5: than Shay Gilds Alexander was to the Thunder. And I

553
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 5: am fully aware of the disparity in wins and all

554
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 5: of that, but I just thought that that Jokic had

555
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 5: an extraordinary, extraordinary season, and I can't I just couldn't

556
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 5: say that about about Shay. He had a great season.

557
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 5: He was the best player on on on the winning

558
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 5: this winningest team.

559
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 3: Uh.

560
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 5: And for some people, that's the definition of m v

561
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 5: P or it it's Trump's what whatever, you know. My

562
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 5: My definition that I just I just gave you is

563
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 5: that's the beauty of this. And I think it's it's

564
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 5: I like it is that the NBA has never defined

565
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 5: what most Valuable Player is supposed to be, so everybody

566
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 5: has the opportunity to interpret it in their own way

567
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 5: and it as a result, we have a lot of

568
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 5: debate and conversation, and uh, you know, for the business

569
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 5: we're in, I think that that's good and and because

570
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 5: it would I think it would be kind of cookie

571
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 5: cutter if we tried to put parameters parameters on it,

572
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 5: and we we might have the opportunity of the sing

573
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 5: out on somebody that that actually deserved it.

574
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Rick Buker, that is at Rick Buker.

575
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: Check him out on FS one tomorrow, probably next to

576
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: a very happy Paul Pierce. I'm thinking Paul Pierce is

577
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: going to come in with a Haliburton Jersey, Nie Smith Jersey.

578
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 2: Oh man, he's gonna oh yeah, it's gonna be a

579
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 2: happy Paul Pierce tomorrow.

580
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's gonna jump out of the wheelchairs, crip walking.

581
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 2: Rick, Thanks a bunch man. We'll talk to you next week.

582
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 2: Have a great one.

583
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 5: My pleasure, mental health, mental health.

584
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, it's gonna be a lot. I really, honestly,

585
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 2: I just want to throw up, go to bed, and

586
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 2: wake up after game two is over. That's really what

587
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 2: I want to do. Should I get you want to do?

588
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 2: I want to I'll tell you this is it's not

589
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 2: I'm not good, my Carmen. No, I know I watched

590
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 2: it and you got Quyatt, which is which is worse

591
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 2: than screaming Jason Smith. I am not good. I'm not good.

592
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 2: So I get at home like I'm growing up with

593
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: my dad right when he was quiet. That's when you

594
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 2: knew you screwed up, and you're trying to figure out

595
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 2: which thing you just got caught doing or one of

596
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 2: your brothers got caught doing. No, I didn't. Well, it

597
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 2: was eerie least similar and not that my dad was

598
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 2: ranting and raining all the time. But it was the

599
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: idea that you weren't conversational. You got quiet, very clinical

600
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 2: in terms of your description of what was going on,

601
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 2: as opposed to the man I've watched for eleven years

602
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 2: ride highs and lows with the squad. This was just

603
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: a almost like you saw it coming, Jason.

604
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 3: You think you're upset, now you wait till you hear

605
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 3: Rick Kloh he's going off on the next.

606
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 2: Is he really?

607
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's gonna have some some quotes that you're not

608
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 3: gonna like.

609
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: Okay, well we'll have him and we'll have tips. Because

610
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: I think TIBs was doing one answer, one one word answer,

611
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: isn't then he thought somebody, oh good, uh, time out

612
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: to find out what's trending in the wide role of sports.

613
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: And someone who's been called the TIBs of Fox Sports Radio.

614
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes you ask your questions that she just has one

615
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: word answers.

616
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 2: It's Monty Belagya.

617
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was a game.

618
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,080

624
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,520

625
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,920

688
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 2: miss twelve free throws in the final moments. You know,

689
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,360

00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 2: and through and the choke sign is going to be

694
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 2: it already is It's going to be one of the

695
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,680

Speaker 6: No?

717
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

718
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 5: No.

719
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 2: I wish it would have called it technical. Oh it's

720
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 2: a tea. It's not quite a throat slash, but I

721
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 2: mean Brunson's at the free throw line for two with

722
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 2: no time left. Uh, really, it's a it's a fair time.

723
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 2: It's an all time NBA highlight that we are seeing there.

724
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 2: The Knicks turn the ball over at the end of regulation,

725
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 2: they miss free throws. Just an absolute choke fest. And yeah,

726
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 2: Halliburton makes the choke sign. Now here comes the stat

727
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 2: I was telling you about this again.

728
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 6: This.

729
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: I'm doing the show tonight for the ninety nine percent

730
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: of the people who are happy what they saw I

731
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: understand that in the history of the NBA. Okay, this

732
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: has now been the number is now official after seeing

733
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: it bandied about over the last few minutes a lot

734
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: of people and big NBA check marks teams with a

735
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: fourteen point lead and two fifty left to go in

736
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 1: a game, right, so, with two minutes and fifty seconds

737
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: left to go in the game and a fourteen point lead,

738
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: because that's the Knicks had right now, fourteen point lead

739
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: two minutes and fifty seconds left. Coming into tonight, teams

740
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: were nine hundred and seventy seven and oh up by

741
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: fourteen at least with two fifty left in the game.

742
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: Said nine hundred, nine hundred and seventy seven and oh

743
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: make it nine hundred and seventy seven and one.

744
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 2: Also the fourth time this postseason that they've been down

745
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 2: at least fifteen points and came back to win. Well,

746
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 2: this fourth time done that.

747
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: This dives into the other stat that is maybe even

748
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: more impressive. But just think about that, teams were nine

749
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy seven and OH up by fourteen with

750
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: two fifty left to go. Teams that are up by

751
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: seven with fifty seconds left, Okay, up by seven points

752
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: with fifty seconds left. Since nineteen ninety seven, teams are

753
00:38:55,400 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: seventeen hundred and two up and four down. Again, if

754
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: you had a seven and more point lead, they had

755
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: a nine point lead with fifty seconds left, seven and

756
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: more point lead with fifty seconds left to go in

757
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: the game. Teams are seventeen hundred and two wins and

758
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 1: four losses since nineteen ninety seven. Right, that sounds amazing.

759
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: Three of those four losses are because the Pacers did

760
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: that in this playoff, in this playoffs and the playoff.

761
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 2: They have three.

762
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: They gave teams three of those four losses up by

763
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: seven with fifty seconds left and they come.

764
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 2: Back to win, so one in each round. Right yeah, yeah?

765
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 2: So Game five, Game two, Game one, here we go.

766
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 2: That's chaos. I mean, Carlisle starting to really look like

767
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: Robert Carlisle too. He's gonna be Rumpel, still skinned or

768
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 2: in the full money.

769
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: I I am just I am blown away. I'm blown away.

770
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: We have two hours left to the show. I'm blown away.

771
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 2: You're just looking to put your head set down? And

772
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 2: whych I mean when I said I wanted to throw up,

773
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 2: go to sleep and wake up after game two like
