  Speaker 1: The Indiana Pacers are heading to the NBA Finals. Wow,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm like, I don't know, I'm emotionally charged
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: more than I've been in a while when it comes
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: to a team making the finals. Okay, season made to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: find it a few days ago, and I was like,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: that's dope, that's cool. But I didn't I didn't feel
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: some type of emotion. I'm what the hell is going
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: on with me? My team has nothing to do with this,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: but shout out to the Pacers. Man, this is wow.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: This is a run for the ages, regardless of what
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: happens against Okay, see, this is a run for the Ages.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Before we talk about the Pacers, I want to tip
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: my cap, not in the literal sense, but I want
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: to tip my cap to the New York Knicks. I
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: said this on the podcast this morning, but for the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: people that may have missed it or have not caught
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: up just yet, I said, regardless of what happened to
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: gain number six, I want to say thank you to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the Knicks because, as a neutral fan, think about what
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: this postseason run has been for the Knicks. Round number one,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: they play against the Pistons, this young team, and I
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: think it was game umble one, a gain uble two
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I don't remember off the top of my head. Twenty
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: one oh run on the on the pistons, turned the fists,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: turned the ball all over. They scoring, they doing this,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: they doing that. You get some of the best down
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to the wire games of all of the postseason. Was
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Tim Hardaway junior fout in the corner, I don't know,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and then Jalen Brunson crossing up one of the best
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: of sar Thompson defensively hitting the game winner in Game six.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: That's huge. They get to the second round and then
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: back to back games they are down by twenty points
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to get to the Fender Champions and they win those games.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: They have given US Bangers again, a neutral fans just
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: giving US Bangers and even in this series right even
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: though they were on the opposite end of this success
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Tyre's Halliburton hitting that shot them coming back being down
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: what eight points through forty seconds ago. The Knicks have
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: just been involved in some of the best games of
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: this offseason. So I would to say I appreciate it
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: because them it. Without them, this postseason run wouldn't be
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that amazing. And I know they can have a ton
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: of questions to answer right this offseason. We're gonna get
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to those a little bit later in the video between
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Karnthony Towns, between Tom deb and so on and so forth.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: But I do want to say this is undoubtedly a
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: successful season for the Knicks. They had n't been in
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the conference finals for over twenty years. They made necessary
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: trace to put together a finals team, and they were
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: just two games away from being in the finals and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the first year of their plan together. That's a success.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Think about where we were before the season started. We said,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: or I'm saying, oh, I said, at least I don't
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: know what the hell your europeanions were. But in the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Eastern Confers, the team to be is the Celtics. Of course,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: they made it to the finals last year and they
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: won the finals last year. After that, there's a whole
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: tier below them. Like, these teams are contenders, but maybe
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: not as good as the Celtics. You had, like the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: seventy six boyl were wrong about that, and then you
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: had like the Knicks. And this was before the Caves
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: ended up being as good as they were. But like
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the Knicks were looked to be a contender, and damn it,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: they were basically that so I know it's gloom right
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: now because you lost, but overall successful season. They got
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: questions I forgot, I even got an ad. Let's get
• 2:48

• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you to sea Geek for sponsoring another video. While that
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: was planned, I figured out why I'm emotionally charged with
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: this team. I love an underdog story. The entirety of
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the Pacers' existence has been an underdog store. This whole
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: run has been an underdog store. Think about it. Think
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: about just what the espns like when they do like, oh,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: this is where the experts are predicting is gonna happen
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: in the series. I think in their first round matchup
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: against the Bucks, it was a fifty to fifty split
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: as far as who people thought was going to win.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: And the second round, I don't think a single one.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I don't think a single one of the experts picked
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers. Now in the conference finals, I don't know.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I didn't catch up on that. But Steel this is
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a fourth seeded team that basically last year, they get
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to the conference finals and we tip our cap. Of course,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: were like, that's success regardless, but a lot of people
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: are like, I don't know if they're gonna be able
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to replicate that. They got some injury luck here here here,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: but this team ain't really like that, and now they're
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: in the goddamn finals. This team is an underdog story.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Their entire lineup are people drafted outside of the lottery,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: except for I guess Obi Topping and Benedict Mathrin. Not
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: outside the lottery, but like outside of the top ten.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Pascal siakam late first round pick. And while
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the ad was sowing, I had to remember who the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: hell Pascal Siaka was compared to coming out of college.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: His NBA comps was Jordan Mickey and look Bay Mute.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: He just won Conference Finals MVP. They said this man
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: would never get to the point where he would be
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: a real NBA scorer because he lacked the athleticism I'm
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: looking at it right now. He lacked the upper body strength,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: he lacked the vertical and he just was the Conference
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Finals MVP. Underdog story nim Hard Halliburton, who failed to
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: what twelve in the draft, eleven in the draft. This
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: whole team is just, man, this is insane. So yeah,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: that's why I'm mostly charged because usual, if the team's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: gonna go to the god damn Finals, they not really underdogs.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: They may have gone to go run, but they not
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: really underdogs. This team has been an underdog team full
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: through and they're gonna be an underdog in next series. Truss. Truss,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I got a lot of lover respect for this team,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: but boy, that OKC team is different and they gonna
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: be real different. If Nee Smith is not healthy, I
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: hope I pray that he's feeling good. He gets a
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: four day break, four day break before game number one,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Please be good because in this game, talk about the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: things that have changed. We talked about last game, the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Knicks came out with a ton of aggression defensively and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: it feel like it rattled the Pacers on both sides
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: of the ball, and this one, the Pacers were the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: team to bring that level of intention on the defensive
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: side of the ball. They opted not to have it
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: be Niee Smith on Jaylen Brunton, but it said nim
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: har If remember last year's series against against each other.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: The first two games of the series, it was nim
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Hard guarded Jaylen Brounton. He got his ass fried. It
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: makes sense, it's Jaylen Bronson. And then they switched to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Nie Smith. He had better results, but in this one
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: they had to go the other way because I'm assuming's
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: just because Nie Smith is just not healthy enough to
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: guard Jaylen Bronson. He only played twenty minutes today, most
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: of it because he had a couple of foules. He
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: tried to step in on this the charge it was
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: a block, so some of the files were a big questioned,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: but regardless, nim Hard after giving us last game in
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the game before that him not looking so amazing, he
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: gave a master class on both sides of the floor.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: He ended up with seven stocks in a close out game.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Let's not forget about that. We look back on game
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: number six, so we looked back on this pacer run.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Seven stocks in this one hits a big shot. When
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you know the Pacers are going in there run and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: they need an extra one. Boom, there's nim Hard with
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: another three. Halliburton came to play. You know, I love
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the aggression that he had in the first quarter, even
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: if the shots and fall. I think he ended the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: first quarter like six shot attempts, Like, damn it, that's
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: not a ton, right. Usually his stars across the basketball
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I had eight at nine, but still him having six
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: them then match his whole last game. So I'm like,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: eventually somebody shots are gonna fall because he is just
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: an efficient basketball player. And in that fourth quarter, you
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: know they have the lead and they're they're just attacking
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: k Anthony Towns. He gonna play that drop floater, floater floater,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and then at the end of the game, he hit
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the you know, the logo three or whatever, which is
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: a balls he shot to take because if you miss
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: it then it looks a bit weird. But he hit it,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and yeah, his team is going to the NBA Finals,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: which is which is dope. I remember a tweet from
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a few weeks back that was like, somebody said, I
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: hate this Pacer team because they're just a team full
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of front runners. I know Bucks fan Tatum. Every time
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I tweet about the Pacers, I get Bucks fans. And
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying this all y'all, but Bucks fans really
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: hate this team, and that's part of the rivalry, which
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: is okay. Somebody quoted that saying this, stop letting them
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: get in front of you there. If you hate a
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: front runner, stop letting this team win. And they really
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: are winning right now, which is insane. So again, I
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: got a couple of days to kind of think about
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: what the series is gonna look like in the finals,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: what I'm expecting matchup wise, So I'll drop a video
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: about that because we got no NBA basketball at least
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: going on, so I have some time to go through
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the film. Pascal Amazing Halliburton a maze. I feel so
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: happy for Miles Turner that interviewed him as they were
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: giving away the award to Pascal Siaka, and he's like, yeah,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I spent the third of my life here. He's been
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: there for ten years. That's nuts. And they've gone through
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: so many different iterations of a team since he's been drafted,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: and now he gets his his NBA Finals. He was
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: crying while doing an interview. I mean not in the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: literal sense, but like he had tears. But man, what
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: a game, what a performance, And again they got an
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: uphill battle. But trust on the next side of things,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: they got questions. I guess it's s'sful season, but they
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: got questions to be answered. They made some big trades,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: bringing in Michel Bridges, they made some big trades breaking
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: in car Anthony Towns and again successful season, but like,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: do you feel like you can run it back? It
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: feel like you'll be better next season? Should they be
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: aggressive in the Marcus Shamansarania saying that this is gonna
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: be one of the craziest deadlines. That we are not deadlines,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: but offseasons we could have, which is amazing. You know,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: you got names like Kevin Durant, maybe Yannis, maybe some
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: other big name players. Scarnthy Town's get moved again. The
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: contract is huge. I don't know. People are already tweeting
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: at me pictures of him and Devin Booker together part
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: of a Kevin Durant trade, even though Kevin Durant notoriously
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: neglected the Knicks when he was a free agent went
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: to Brooklyn. So I don't know what the hell happens.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: But his team is not super far away but not
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: close enough. Maybe at the same time, because Cat even
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: though he ended with twenty two and fourteen up not
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the greatest twenty two and fourteen I tell you that.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was boxed and then they were attacking them,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and it's just like, ah, it's a rough time. LANZR.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Shaman hit three threes when the game is over, so
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: that was cool. It's that land. Look. Look, I hated
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: every single shot that the right took. I think it
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: had all backboard of both. And then Josh hart Man.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: This was not a good ending to Josh hart series
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: or season. The last two games. I thought he gave
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the wrong kind of energy and that's not like him.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I just I don't know, I don't know. We got
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the NBA Finals coming up. We're down to our last
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: two teams. Nuts again. I remember just yesterday the season
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: was starting, and now we're down to our last two teams.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Shout out to the Pacers, Shout out to Oka See.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I hope that we get a good one. This is
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: one of them good old fashion small market versus small
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: market to rabid fan bases that been dying to see
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: their team back in this situation. It's been since twenty twelve.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Since twenty twelve ish for OKAC and then since two
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: thousand or ninety nine for the Pacers, these two teams
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: have been desperately weighted to get back on the NBA
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Finals court and we got it. I'm excited for both them.
