Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We win at one, twenty to one. Nineteen Pacers up
- 0:04Speaker 1: to nothing in this series. Four times in seven games
- 0:08Speaker 1: this postseason, they've shot fifty percent. They shoot fifty two percent.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Tonight.
- 0:12Speaker 1: The Cavs were fifty nine and three when they took
- 0:16Speaker 1: a lead to the fourth quarter, but they lose tonight
- 0:19Speaker 1: and are down to nothing in the series. Here's Jared's.
- 0:26Speaker 3: I just saw an opportunity, missed the freeto.
- 0:29Speaker 4: Somebody had a beautiful tip.
- 0:31Speaker 3: I grabbed the rebound.
- 0:32Speaker 5: There was no chance I was passing at you know
- 0:34Speaker 5: down line.
- 0:35Speaker 3: This is what I do and uh, trying to make
- 0:37Speaker 3: a big play.
- 0:37Speaker 5: Guys like Reggie Miller of hit shots like that in
- 0:39Speaker 5: matt uniform. How does this feel for you guys to
- 0:41Speaker 5: complete this comeback?
- 0:42Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels amazing.
- 0:43Speaker 6: Man.
- 0:44Speaker 4: We do there gonna respond with a big punch, but
- 0:47Speaker 4: we stuck with it. Man. We we uh, We're resilient.
- 0:50Speaker 3: Everybody can say, yeah, we had DGV and Drey out.
- 0:53Speaker 3: I'm not gonna go there like you know what I'm saying.
- 0:55Speaker 3: I think for us, you know they play Friday, great,
- 0:59Speaker 3: we definitely, but if they don't, we got to be
- 1:00Speaker 3: ready to understand that we've shown we can do this.
- 1:03Speaker 3: We can sit here and well on this and be
- 1:05Speaker 3: home in about four or five days, or we can
- 1:07Speaker 3: move on and take some things that we did really
- 1:10Speaker 3: well and go from there.
- 1:12Speaker 5: I would just say collectively, we ran out of gas
- 1:15Speaker 5: and they they just they kept turning as impressive. They
- 1:20Speaker 5: turned it up, like I said, holding, grabbing, fouling, honestly,
- 1:26Speaker 5: but that's the play you know, that's the playoffs.
- 1:28Speaker 7: You can't be asking for calls, you know, when the
- 1:31Speaker 7: other team is kicking your ass the way that they were,
- 1:33Speaker 7: and so Tyres hit another amazing shot to win the game.
- 1:38Speaker 7: You don't see this very often, let alone twice in
- 1:41Speaker 7: one week. You feed off of that over ranged chance
- 1:44Speaker 7: that the Cavs fan base will give me.
- 1:47Speaker 5: You Yeah, I mean.
- 1:48Speaker 7: Sure, yeah, I didn't know we had beef, but yeah,
- 1:53Speaker 7: I mean overright.
- 1:54Speaker 2: That.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Overrate that look at this a couple of any point
- 2:00Speaker 1: comebacks in this postseason already for the Indiana Pacers and
- 2:05Speaker 1: Tyrese Haliburton getting it done tonight as the Pacers take
- 2:09Speaker 1: that two zip lead over the number one seed in
- 2:13Speaker 1: the East, Cleveland Cavaliers.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Ernie.
- 2:17Speaker 6: Yeah, when you blow games, you have to help the
- 2:20Speaker 6: other team win and they did.
- 2:23Speaker 2: We saw it last night with.
- 2:25Speaker 6: The Celtics, and you saw it, like, yeah, the Pacers
- 2:29Speaker 6: made some great plays, but the mental mistakes that the
- 2:33Speaker 6: Pacers made you Like, we always talked about you should
- 2:37Speaker 6: never score on the out of bounds play and people say,
- 2:40Speaker 6: why you say that.
- 2:40Speaker 2: I says, you got.
- 2:42Speaker 6: Five guys guarding four food. Why in the world with you,
- 2:45Speaker 6: that's what you got an advantage five if you got
- 2:49Speaker 6: If four guys score on five, your team sucks and
- 2:52Speaker 6: you should never. And the thing it bothers me about that,
- 2:56Speaker 6: it wasn't even the big guys in the paint on
- 2:59Speaker 6: those two offensive rebounds.
- 3:02Speaker 2: On the free throws.
- 3:03Speaker 6: Those guys came from way outside, one from the first
- 3:07Speaker 6: man and then.
- 3:09Speaker 1: The turnover by Strus on the pass.
- 3:12Speaker 6: But the two offensive like oppously, the one was the dunk,
- 3:17Speaker 6: but one it gave him the game win and played
- 3:19Speaker 6: that shit never happened.
- 3:21Speaker 2: First of all, Tyrese Haliburn is not an overrated player.
- 3:24Speaker 2: It's a great player. He plays right way. And all
- 3:27Speaker 2: the kids out there, the ones that can't jump high,
- 3:29Speaker 2: I don't have the Steph Curry for him, watch him
- 3:32Speaker 2: and steal all that he does. He played the great Game.
- 3:34Speaker 2: I thought they came out happy, a little bit likes
- 3:37Speaker 2: of days ago. But they turned on the set quarter.
- 3:39Speaker 2: They kept fighting, I kept fighting. And then when you
- 3:42Speaker 2: keep it close and teams make crucial mistakes, you have
- 3:44Speaker 2: opportunities to win. So they took advantage of the opportunity
- 3:47Speaker 2: and they won. But I would have loved to be
- 3:50Speaker 2: in the locker rooms. I was in a situation like
- 3:52Speaker 2: that one time and we were all happy, and Phil
- 3:54Speaker 2: came and said, shut up, you don't deserve to win
- 3:56Speaker 2: that game. We played like, just didn't let you know that.
- 3:59Speaker 2: Yeah we won the game, but we didn't deserve to
- 4:01Speaker 2: win that game. We didn't play the right way. But
- 4:03Speaker 2: now they win that game. Forget that. Now we know
- 4:05Speaker 2: what they have to do it because you know, of course,
- 4:07Speaker 2: when you have a guy that hits the shot, everybody's
- 4:10Speaker 2: gonna be happy. But they didn't deserve to win that
- 4:11Speaker 2: Gay Cleveland gave them that game. But they're up O two.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Now you're going home to your crib, your routine. I'm
- 4:18Speaker 2: thinking close this thing out. I'm not messing around with them.
- 4:21Speaker 8: Well, Tyre's Halliburton's best attribute. When you talk about being rated,
- 4:28Speaker 8: there's very few guys in the league that can create
- 4:32Speaker 8: a pace that you have to play at if you
- 4:36Speaker 8: play their team, so meaning they could slow it down
- 4:40Speaker 8: and you have to play slow and you're gonna have
- 4:42Speaker 8: to win that ninety point game, or they play fast
- 4:45Speaker 8: and you're gonna have to win an one hundred and ten,
- 4:47Speaker 8: one hundred and fifteen point game. Tali's hurt. Halliburton is
- 4:50Speaker 8: one of those guys. Forget the scoring and all that.
- 4:53Speaker 8: I always pay attention if he's creating the pace a
- 4:56Speaker 8: la Steve Nash Jason Kidd what they did. Doesn't and
- 5:00Speaker 8: do it as well as those two guys yet, but
- 5:02Speaker 8: he does it too close to what they did. So
- 5:05Speaker 8: when you play the paces, you know you're going up
- 5:07Speaker 8: and down, which allows Sakam and Turner and them Hart
- 5:11Speaker 8: to play at a different place offensively.
- 5:14Speaker 2: That is a talent, that is he is.
- 5:18Speaker 8: If you want to rate it for one to ten,
- 5:20Speaker 8: he's a nine that and now you want to rate
- 5:23Speaker 8: him rate that pacers.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Yeah, in fact, if I were ready for that, come on.
- 5:32Speaker 8: The data is that that one?
- 5:34Speaker 7: Oh?
- 5:35Speaker 2: Now it doesn't work. You know some bitsin changes around here?
- 5:39Speaker 1: Take it. Take that for data.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Yeah, take that for data. Here's some data for you.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Take that data Pacers plus forty fast break points in
- 5:49Speaker 1: the post season.
- 5:50Speaker 2: It's a button together preson.
- 5:52Speaker 1: I know I just did take that for data. Thanks,
- 5:55Speaker 1: You're not lost its effectiveness.
- 5:57Speaker 2: I think working around here now, you never know. You
- 6:00Speaker 2: never know.
- 6:02Speaker 1: The rental on the sound machine may have may have
- 6:05Speaker 1: run out. Meantime, you heard Jared mention it when he
- 6:09Speaker 1: was talking to Tyres Halliburton. You think about game winners
- 6:12Speaker 1: for the Indiana Pacers. There's one guy who comes to mind,
- 6:16Speaker 1: our colleague, Reggie Miller, and we happen to have video.
- 6:29Speaker 4: Second you can tell us Heggie, one of the greatest
- 6:35Speaker 4: clutch cut up performers of his generation, has apparently done
- 6:40Speaker 4: it again.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Don't waste time here. Jama Rosen out in front Reggie
- 6:44Speaker 1: for three Miller time.
- 6:47Speaker 4: Kler gives the Pacers the league for two point nine remaining.
- 6:52Speaker 4: Reggie Miller knocks the town and this place is absolutely stunned.
- 6:59Speaker 2: That's what is for NBC. That's the best one.
- 7:01Speaker 6: We can get that out to the great Dick Episol.
- 7:03Speaker 2: That wasn't it was. It was a long time when I.
- 7:07Speaker 6: Watched it that game on television. Sure, that was shout
- 7:10Speaker 6: out to the Great Dick episode.
- 7:12Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt, yes, what that was overrated? What regimental
- 7:16Speaker 2: of those shots? That's overrated? Oh lord, yeah, you still
- 7:20Speaker 2: funny about one of those regiment of games.
- 7:23Speaker 6: We played a game later in the day, so I
- 7:27Speaker 6: didn't get to wash that thing against the Knicks. Some
- 7:30Speaker 6: I'm driving to the game when I get there every
- 7:32Speaker 6: by time. But minutes you see the Paciers come back
- 7:35Speaker 6: and beat the Knicks. I said, Man, the next one
- 7:37Speaker 6: that game, They're like, no, they didn't. They scored like
- 7:40Speaker 6: eight points in like ten. I said, no, they didn't.
- 7:44Speaker 6: I couldn't believe he did. That was unbelievable.
- 7:46Speaker 1: That was the game playing me talking about GK.
- 7:50Speaker 2: What were you saying about the jet.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Grooming?
- 7:54Speaker 2: Yeah, in between.
- 7:56Speaker 6: Man, we don't have to work another twenty years for
- 7:58Speaker 6: that beard to grow in full.
- 8:00Speaker 2: We got, they got, they have to. Willis in here.
- 8:03Speaker 6: Were waving a building and I want it like this,
- 8:07Speaker 6: like what anppel it is?
- 8:08Speaker 1: They are why you brushes
