Uh oh, now we're gonna play a free throw game. We're gonna play free throw game, Joe, that what we be about to do. Hey, I ain't gonna try to get it all back in one shot. I'm gonna see how y'all have no pressure. And boy, this was the unbelievable ball game. Pascal sey'all comes seventeen points, aaron Ne Smith thirty points, Miles turn Of fourteen points, Nim Hard fifteen points. Tyrese Halibert was sensational tonight thirty one points, eleven assists. They won this game because they took care of the basketball. Yep, they had seven turnovers in an overtime game total, so four quarters of basketball plus five minutes of overtime, they had seven turnovers. Jalen Brunson alone had seven turnovers. And that was the difference in the ball game. They've got to do a better job of making those free throws. Also, they was twenty eight or forty, so in other words, they got to the line forty times and they only cash twenty eight times. Joe, you watched this game, and I know, look and I'm like, damn, y'all got to stop something in there, because I thought I was gonna be able to have to come on the show Joe and say, Joe, they got to stop something.

I thought the Pacers have done what they've done pretty much this entire postseason when they've been counted out. You know, they got guys who step up, still play inspiration basketball down the stretch. I think Nate Smith was the player of the game to me, man, the way I do too. The way they were down, he was still playing hard fish and he shot eight for nine from three, I don't know, from the free throw line, yeah, yeah, four for four from the free throw line, eight for nine for three. I'm not sure you're gonna count on that every night, but tonight he was special and he gave them their lift that they needed. But they got contributions from some of everybody. Look at that best TJ.

He could be Pascal Siactle, you know what I mean, It could be somebody else. So they got a multitude of cats who are willing to step up, who take that challenge, and they competing at the highest level.

They played well up the way they had the game in their hands, but it seemed like laid down the stretch. They was having these mental lessons where they were almost turning the ball over, but they kept getting away.

They they they filed the team and they ready, they ready for the moment down And we've seen this from there in three games down the stretch against Cleveland, they find ways just like we saw the Knicks do this down the stretch against Detroit. We saw them do this down the stretch against Boston and clutch moments, they find ways to win. They make the right pass, they hit the big shot. They do everything ain't right, They get stilled, they play passing lanes. I mean, look both teams.

Jaylen Brush was fifteen to twenty five, Kat was eleven or seventeen. But Nick, this is what y'all known for. Y'all known for defense. Y'all let Tyre's Haliburton go twelve to twenty three. Y'all let them har go six or ten. Y'all let Myles turn and go six of eleven. Aaron Nasmith missed four shots. He was nine of thirteen, eight or nine from the three. The only guy that really shot less than fifty percent. That played heavy minute was really Pascal Siakam. Yeah, seven or sixteen. Other than that, they shot fifty one percent from the floor. Now this is what Look, we know Indiana can play defense, and they played it really good down the stretch. But they're a team that want to get it out of the net or getting off the rim. But they want to push. They'll give you, they'll give you a basket to get a quicker basket because they want the tempo. They won't they won't tempo and they know, oh it's easy this oh oh we hey, yeah it's easy.

Look, we got one hundred and thirty eight hundred and thirty five point game. This is what the Pacers want. They don't think you can put this paint Knicks, Knicks. This is not the pace the Knicks want to play at or need to play at. Look, you gotta slow this tempo down, I mean, and you look, you got sixty nine points at the half. That's right up, that's right up there. The pacers alley. They want to they want to see they want a sixty five seventy five halftime pace.

Yeah, and when you play that style, you need to be very very careful because I don't know if that's what you're equipped to do. And look, Cat played phenomenal tonight. I thought Bronson played for nomenal. I mean, both teams played really well tonight. Now they caught some ticket tag stuff early, but late in the ball game, they did not want the Knicks to lose.

What what? What?

What what? What?

What I was really concerned about the knicks was down the stretch. You see how these shots kept coming up short. He had the legs go. They had them legs gone because you don't play it at this tempo that you ain't necessarily accustom to playing at every night in Indiana. This is what they do because they don't really have guys who playing forty five forty.

I told Shell I said, shall I watch this go in? And she she started screaming because of it. I was like, oh my goodness. There's a difference walking on the treadmill for forty five minutes versus jogging or sprinting on the treadmill for forty five minutes. And you see, the pacers are used to sprinting on the treadmill, so you sprint for forty five versus team that. Oh oh I exercised, I get my exercised in okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It kind of like when I tell people like, look, you can do lip weight and then you can do cardio. But when you combine the two, that when you can see somebody car your capacity. Because I'm combining, I'm more force you to use your strength, your muscles and the other muscle that heart. So if you notice, sometimes you get guys that are really strong and you can get even find someone that's really good at cardio. But when I combine the two, now like oh damn yeah, And that's what the pacers want you to do. They want you to they want you to get up and down. They want you to try to say, oh man, we about to get one hundred and thirty. We about to get one hundred and forty. Hey, we've seen the Knicks. We've seen the Pacers a couple of times this year. Get one forty, get one hundred and fifty points in regulation. You gotta be careful playing at their temple, playing at their pace. I thought this game looked if somebody if I tell you, what if somebody told you, if you're a Nick fan and somebody say, hey, Brunt's gonna shoot twenty five times, he's gonna make fifteen of them. He's gonna have forty three points. Cat's gonna have thirty five and twelve like what we won the game.

Yeah, if we won the game, absolutely, that's what you're saying.

Yeah, if we won the game, absolutely, that's what you're saying.

If your two big guns and they fired, and they go off and they're efficient while they're doing it. Now, if Brunston had forty three points and they took him thirty two shots to get it, I ain't impressed with that. If Kat had thirty five and it took him twenty five shots to get it, I ain't impressed with that. It took Cash seventeen shots to get thirty five points. It Bronston twenty five shots to get forty three. They shot fifty one percent from the floor. But they gave up fifty one percent from the floor. They gave up forty one percent from the three point line where you ask it. And you didn't turn them over like you did Boston. You didn't turn them over like you did Detroit. Now they got really good ball handlers. Halliburton's gonna have the ball in his hand, and he's not a turnover guy. McConnell comes in, he's not a turnover guy. The thing I like about McConnell, he knows who and what he is.

And I promise you, wherever we at, I'm gonna take us to another level. We ain't gonna never drop off. That's why I love TJ. McConnell. And you know, uh, his presence that he brings on the court. It ain't pretty, it ain't the prettiest but I promise you as a backup PG. I don't know if it can get too much better than him. Yeah, he comes in with it on his mind.

I thought Indiana was special tonight in that atmosphere. Can you imagine what it's like playing in there on a wait team like them dudes came in man, I'm talking about from the start of the game. I felt they they imposed they will and they never gave up. Even when they were down fourteen points. You know, they were still fighting. They were still under three minutes points off turnovers. In game one, the Pacers for seventeen turn fifteen turnovers, they got twenty seven points. The Knicks four to seven turnovers, they got four points. The Knicks had a ninety nine points seven ninety nine point seven percent chance of winning the game. With two minutes and fifty one seconds they're up fourteen, teams up fourteen plus and the final two and a half two minutes and fifty seconds in a playoff, fourth quarter game or overtime, and the play by play era nine hundred seventy seven and one, the one you just witnessed it tonight. If you watch this game and the shot and the play by play era, I think the play by play goes back nineteen ninety six, ninety six them correct. I think that's when they started to play by play. You're talking about nine hundred and seventy seven and one. He had in that span nineteen ninety six. Okay, in that span the last three minutes of the game, I made three's and they seemed like forever, seemed like three hours. Oh man, Look they kept getting three, they get a stop like it was just they kept trails like, man, the ain't not finna come back. And I'll bet I'll be damn. This was This was an amazing game. And hopefully we get six more. Oh, Joe, I don't know why. I know you was having technical difficulties trying to get logged on. But the Pacers come back one thirty eight, one thirty five down fourteen points with two minutes and under three minutes left in the ball game. And you heard me read off the stat they have a ninety nine points seven percent chance of winning. And the play by player ear which started in nineteen ninety six, teams are nine hundred and seventy seventy zero until tonight, when you're up by that many points with that few time, without that few times on the flock, and the Knicks gave it away. Give them credit. They passed the lane, they were getting deflections. They almost they almost got it earlier. Yeah, mim hard almost got one, got another one.

Your two big guns are on fire and they're hitting on all cillingers like they like cat in Brunsonborg. You expected to win a game like this when you that amount of points, whether that little time left to go in the game, You not expecting the other team to come back and win, regardless of circumstance, that any hypothetical you come up with. But what we saw tonight, it seemed unreal. It was like something out of a movie. This is how move how this is how movie story endings happened. They happened like what we saw tonight. It's a great game. You you said it too. The Knicks won't be able to keep up with that offensive pace. I think they need to. They need to play at their own pace and not playing the way the places played used to, running up and down the floor, back and back and forth. But god damn man, that the night was. That was a beautiful game. Now, if we get six more games, like this. This might be the guest seven game series of all time if the game end like this in this maner, Oh you think it's going seven? No, I'm I'm just I'm just throwing it out there. But you just like you, just like you, just like the game to day. The first game it was pretty good.

Hey.

Hey.

What scares me also is I think just like the Wolves game, it was very important to can win game one. It was very important to me for the Knicks to win game one, especially at home. You got you got to steal that game.

What scares me also is I think just like the Wolves game, it was very important to can win game one. It was very important to me for the Knicks to win game one, especially at home. You got you got to steal that game.

Hey, go ahead, Joe Well Ojo was saying that he don't know if the Knicks and keep up with this pace they should play they pace they can't because you know why, the Pacers apply so much pressure that they are forcing the.

You see what I'm saying.

You see what I'm saying.

So it's like they induced the Knicks to playing this pace and it works in that favor because down the stretch, look with you at you got a lot of sloppy basketball from the Knicks. A lot of turnovers, a lot of mishaps, and ultimately it costs you game, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, look I did not think. But you know what happens, Joe. A lot of times when you down by so much, so many points, and all of a sudden you make a comeback. You start to feel like, oh, we're gonna get this one. Yeah, you start to feel that you're gonna win. The other team starts to feel like we're about to lose because they see fourteen eleven nine eight seven.

And everybody and all the fans like, damn, come o' clock, but the clock can't go fast enough.

And everybody and all the fans like, damn, come o' clock, but the clock can't go fast enough.

You know, a young Joe, But I honestly, you know you said, with the paces doing what they do is fuck far as far as forcing the next to play outside of their comfort zone, you got to be uncomfortable being uncomfortable. You've got to continue to play at the next pace because if you're trying to keep up and do just because they putting pressure on you and it's causing you to it's causing you to have turnovers and makes all advice passes have the mistakes.

That's the reason you're losing the game. So you listen.

I don't know how you're able to do it, Joe, especially from a basketball standpoint.

Say when I think about boxing.

Hunk, and there's a pressure fighter, yeah, trying to force you to fight, but to do everything you can in your will to stay relaxed and stay calm under pressure and continue to do your game or whatever your game player may be. The Knick's gonna have to find a way regards to the pressure that Indiana is applying to stay within their game, because that's not the way you guys play basketball.

So what happens is is that they're playing at this phonetic place. Now you like, hey man, I got me a couple of easy basket Hey look at it. Hey I bet the real boom. I got me a couple of easy When you're like, okay, this is easy, right here, this is easy, and the next thing you know, you've gotten yourself into something that you really didn't want to get into. It's kind of like, oh, Joe, you got you got a one point lead. Now what you should do is go down at the one yard line. But what the guy want to do. He want to celebrate, so he going into his z on. Next thing, you know, they get a touchdown, get a two point conversion, they get the ball and over time first and now you're like, damn, what happened?

So what happens is is that they're playing at this phonetic place. Now you like, hey man, I got me a couple of easy basket Hey look at it. Hey I bet the real boom.

Yeah, well what happened. You didn't what you weren't supposed to do.

Yeah, well what happened. You didn't what you weren't supposed to do.

And it's a lot easy, And I understand it's a lot easier to say it than done because, like you said, but I'm looking at the Knicks even at that phonetic pace, Joe, I got a fourteen point lead with under three minutes to go, and I got Michael Bridges, and I got an og Ananobe and I got Josh Hart. That should be that those three players with Jellen, Brutheron and Cat should be enough to hold that because they were enough to get that.

And it's a lot easy, And I understand it's a lot easier to say it than done because, like you said, but I'm looking at the Knicks even at that phonetic pace, Joe, I got a fourteen point lead with under three minutes to go, and I got Michael Bridges, and I got an og Ananobe and I got Josh Hart. That should be that those three players with Jellen, Brutheron and Cat should be enough to hold that because they were enough to get that.

So if they're good enough to get it, they should be good enough to keep it. Let me ask you a question, what else you read off that percentage? Again?

So if they're good enough to get it, they should be good enough to keep it. Let me ask you a question, what else you read off that percentage? Again?

When you're had when you're by that many points with that little time and that's to go, what is the percentage the game with your chance to win that game?

When you're had when you're by that many points with that little time and that's to go, what is the percentage the game with your chance to win that game?

The Knicks had a ninety nine point seven percent chance to win when they led by fourteen with two minutes and fifty one seconds to go. You know what teams up by fourteenth plus in the final two minutes in fifty seconds of a playoff, fourth quarter or overtime and the play by play era. Prior to tonight, they had been nine hundred and seventy seven and oh. After tonight they're nine hundred and seventy seven and one.

He's one of five players with a thirty ten a game this playoffs, Jalen Brunson forty three points, five assists on fifteen to twenty five field goal attempts. He's the first Nick ever with a forty point game in the conference finals. I don't know how much better he can play. Maybe, he says, you know what, maybe if I cut my turnovers in half, give you what I gave you last good night offensively, but cut the turnovers. He had as many turnovers by himself as the entire Hacel team.

I think with Brunson, I'm kind of boardlining on a lot of them files. He'd be getting like he initiated a lot of the contact. Oh col hey, Joe, he initiated right with the shoulgar and then throw the handbag. That's called great acting. I'm so sick of looking at that, O, Joe. I want to see good basketball, man. That's goods the same way where you don't like watching shape play. Then he threw he threw that he do the same thing. But what I'm saying is Indiana is playing great defense. Like he ain't really just beating him like that up the dribble. So they staying with him with the first two three steps and then he initiates the contact and flail and it's like Indiana, I'm like, man, they playing great decent They getting a bad what side?

I hope we get something comparable tomorrow in the Western Conference Finals. This is what I want to see because supposedly, allegedly, these are the four best teams, O joe, these are the two best teams in the Eastern Conference, the two best teams in the Western Conference. It shouldn't be that big, that vast of a difference, and we shouldn't see thirty and forty point victories.

The Pacers had sixty nine points in the half, they got twenty one and the third thirty five in the eight in the fourth quarter, and then you got sixty two from the Indiana. Then they get twenty five, so they cut into the lead, and then they get another cutting into the lead. They get thirty eight points in the in the fourth and they out scoring thirteen ten in the overtime, and they win and go on the road snatch home court one thirty eight to one thirty five. Anything that we know about Indiana. They get greedy, They're not content with just one. We saw them go to Cleveland still game one, and what do they do? They say, you know what, we want Sweet States. Not only do we want them to make a million, we want power Ball too, And why yet it give us Fantasy five? We want it all they So I got them. I got them, winning by land slide in game two. I just feel like this pace, obviously, they gonna keep up, and I just don't. I think the Knicks gonna wear down. Obviously I've said that in the past couple series, But at the pace that the Pacers play with, it's gonna be hard for the Knicks to keep up with that. Man for Brunts and and cat to play like this the entire series. Yeah, I don't know if they can do that. Guys, i'a be honest with you. Andy Gill just win. Nope, he did what everybody know is the worst kept secret. He won the MVP thirty three points, five six and two, Best Player, best Team first in points second and still first, and plus minus first than thirty point games first, and forty point games first and fifty point games. Last year, he finished runner up a lot of them been made about Shae being at the pre throw line. Twenty nine of the NBA MVP's attempted more free throws in the MVP season than Shaye did.

The Pacers had sixty nine points in the half, they got twenty one and the third thirty five in the eight in the fourth quarter, and then you got sixty two from the Indiana. Then they get twenty five, so they cut into the lead, and then they get another cutting into the lead. They get thirty eight points in the in the fourth and they out scoring thirteen ten in the overtime, and they win and go on the road snatch home court one thirty eight to one thirty five. Anything that we know about Indiana. They get greedy, They're not content with just one. We saw them go to Cleveland still game one, and what do they do? They say, you know what, we want Sweet States. Not only do we want them to make a million, we want power Ball too, And why yet it give us Fantasy five? We want it all they So I got them. I got them, winning by land slide in game two. I just feel like this pace, obviously, they gonna keep up, and I just don't. I think the Knicks gonna wear down. Obviously I've said that in the past couple series, But at the pace that the Pacers play with, it's gonna be hard for the Knicks to keep up with that.

This year.

This year.

Twenty nine of the MVPs and the MVP season attempted more free throws than what Shae did in his MVP season. You know what they tell me, It was getting a whole lot of buckets, Ojo, Yeah, a lot of buckets. Uh. He flat out got game. And I'm happy for Shaye obviously, you know, i know this a special moment for him. I'm sure this is something that he's kind of set out to do, probably over the last few years when he probably seen that it was really possible. And him getting slighted last year, I think he put a little fire in the come back there.

Yeah, even better.

Yeah, even better.

And that don't happen a lot of times, man. You know, sometimes you'll see a guy in it and then he'll fade away. But Shae, he's been right there, bro from from the start.

And that don't happen a lot of times, man. You know, sometimes you'll see a guy in it and then he'll fade away. But Shae, he's been right there, bro from from the start.

Hey, Hey, when you look at it, right, I'm not I'm not trying to say I'm not trying to say he's this individual.

Hey, Hey, when you look at it, right, I'm not I'm not trying to say I'm not trying to say he's this individual.

I'm saying the way he carried herself. The way he goes about his game.

It's worth it. Love everything about it, huh. I love everything about it, man, you know, I.

It's worth it. Love everything about it, huh. I love everything about it, man, you know, I.

Mean you know who. I want to compare it to, oh old twenty old twenty four down there in l A.

Just his approach to the game, sty yeah, mannerisms, how he takes it, the chip that he wears on his shoulder, never complaining.

He just goes out and he plays ball. I agree. All they do is play ball, Joe Nill. Yeah, on and off the court.

Yeah, every man, listen, man, yeah. He and the thing here, you know, I'm reading reading what his quotes about that. He said, I figured I could be really good because I saw the work that I was putting into it. And then I control what I can control, and then what I can or don't worry about it, he said. But never did I imagine this, you see? And I said this all the time. Oh Joe, you hear me say this all the time. It's hard for me to see a player not getting incrementally better. I'm not saying that he's gonna all of a sudden be an undrafted fridge, and all of a sudden he's gonna go to an MVP. But I've said it's hard if you're putting the work in. See, you can't be mad for resources you didn't get for the work that you didn't put in. Because see a lot of times, Joe, people get mad at results they didn't get for work they didn't put in. Why are you mad when you know you see? For me, I can't I don't know what a person does.

I can just tell you.

I can just tell you.

I can just speak to what I did, what I do, so therefore what I have success. I'm not surprised by the success that I have because I know how hard I work, not hard work, and what I tell kids all the time when they do a lot more speaking engagement, I say, hard work doesn't guarantee you anything. But I can tell you this, Without it, you don't have a chance. It doesn't guarantee you that you're gonna get everything that you asked for or what you set out to accomplish. But without it, you don't have a chance. So I see this young man, and I see where he came from. He got traded because the Clippers really say, you know what we want Paul, George and kawh I want Paul, and I get it. I get why why says I'm in win not moved. Same thing we talked about Joe about a Cooper flag. I ain't got time for him to get good. I need to wear I need to be good right now. So you wanted Paul George, who was an All Star, all the NBA player can play both ends of the court. But you see this young man, now, this is his third grade year. I think he needs to average thirty points a game. There ain't a whole lot of guys in the history of the game can say that. And he's efficient while he's doing it, averaging. If you average thirty and you're shooting forty two percent, they tell him, you put up a whole lot of damn shots, and people get seduced by raw numbers.
