The Pacers Are Headed To The Conference Finals Again · Kenny For Real

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. Another elite night of hoops.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: The Indiana Paces are headed too the conference finals again
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: with the one to fourteen one oh five victory over
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: the Calves. In a nightcab game, the OKC Thunder shut
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: the faucet off in the fourth quarter to take a
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: three to two series lead.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Over the Denver Nuggets.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: But before we get to the nightcap, we have to
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: talk about the Pacers because they won this series and
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: they're going back to the conference finals. Now, you know,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I do these recaps almost nightly. I shoot two podcasts
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: a week with numbers on the board, or really three
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: if you count the TV show, and it's about to
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: be four. Spoiler we're getting a second TV show a week.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: And then I also shoot small Ball with Kenny Beacham.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: So at the very minimum, I'm doing five podcasts a
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: week plus four to five videos on this channel, and
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I try my very best not to get takes and
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: have them be across different platforms. I want you to
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: watch everything and get a different opinion or get a
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: different topic talked about.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: But one of the things I mentioned on small Ball.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I have to mention again here because I think it's really,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: really relevant to what the Indiana Pacers have been able
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: to do. Right The conversation is really relevant now because
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: of the draft lottery happening about twenty four hours ago,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: and one of the main conversations had after that the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: people questioning if the Flatten odds are doing exactly what
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the commissioners, Slash the NBA want them to do. The
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: question from Sam Presty when these flat and odds were
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: trying to be incorporated was how are smaller market teams
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: supposed to get star players, retain star players, and do
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: a successful rebuild if they don't draft high. And as
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: you know, teams like the Wizards, teams like the Jazz,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the teams that really went out there to suck the
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: season dropped forward to four spots, five spots in some cases,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: and now they're looking instead of having Cooper flag As
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Vailet and Dylan Harper, they have to figure out do
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: they want kispars Ya Kashon. It's like they have to
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: figure things out that way, and maybe the Pacers are
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: an anomaly or maybe they're the blueprint to kind of
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: solve in that problem, because it's the Pacer team that
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: we are seeing right now have never really emptied out
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: and went full take mode, if you will. In the
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: last thirty years, they have one pick in the top ten,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: and that was been at the math in a few
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: years ago. Every single other addition they've had to this
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: team is drafting very well outside of the top ten
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: or making the right trace at the right time.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And again, maybe maybe KP.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Kevin Pritchard is just a genius, and nobody in Washington,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: nobody at Charlotte or nobody and these other places can
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: replicate that. But maybe this is just one of the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: ways you do. I'm gonna remind you how they acquired
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Tyres Halliburton. It was the Montas Bonus, Jeremy Lamb, Justin
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Hollay and a second round pick. They got Tyre's Halliburton,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: who was climbing his way up the top two of
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the Indiana Patia All Time Player Ladder.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Like who's there.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: It's like Riggy Miller shout out to Reggie, and it's
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: like Paul George. You put Mail Daniels if you count
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the ABA stuff, and then it's like Tyre Paul George, Tyrese.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: But now Tyree is going to a second conference fin
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: as appears just.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Like Paul George did. It's insane.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Mouse Turner was a pick, and you know there he's
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: been in rumors for a gazillion years in a row,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: and he's again staying here, is Staple here, and they've
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: just done the right decision, made the right decision time
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: and time again. This is how crazy it is of
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: how my mind has shifted away when it comes to
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: this Pacers team getting up three to one in this
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: game and with eight minutes left, eight minutes and ten
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: seconds in my notes exactly, the Calves are up nineteen points.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: And I promise you there was ant a second in
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: that game when they were of nineteen points that I
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: thought this game was over.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's more of a testament to.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: The Calves showed me they were in this series, or
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: more of a testament to the Pacers.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: And I was a guy that was a big believer
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: in the Cleveland Cavaliers. I didn't have them as my
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: championship team, but I believe them to be a championship contender, right.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I believe them to be at the minimum a conference
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: finals team. And they went out sad. They went out sad.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: They blew a twenty point lead in the series at
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: nineteen point lead in the series, Max Shooters in the
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: group chet according to the to the broadcast, if you
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: don't believe you can win this series, don't show up
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: to work. And he was over nine and but you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I did believe. He gave some hustle play. Sometimes the
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: shots just don't fall. It is a very weird ending
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: to a really successful regular season because by all metrics,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: they were one of the best teams in the modern era. Right,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: they have the defensive player of the year, they have
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: a closer and Donovan Mitchell, they have so on, they
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: have so many different things. And again we get into
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: this game four by nineteen and I truly never believed
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: that this was going to be a win for them,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Like they kind of got into the mole where it
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: was like, prove it to me. To me, they were
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: what two and seven, two and nine against the Pacers
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the season. I forget exactly what the stat was on
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the screen, but they've been able to beat up everybody.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: And it's something about this Pacers team really prevented it
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: from doing that. And I watched this series, and I
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: watched this game, and I'm gonna have to rewatch this
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: game specifically, but There are a lot of times in
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: this series where.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I thought about who the hell the Cavs were in the.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Regular season as far as the way they offense moved
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: and how they didn't. They were torched the bottom of
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the league. Last time I checked in total passes, but
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: it always felt like they made the right, timely pass
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: to get the right look. And I felt like in
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: this series they played so much my turn basketball that
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: it completely eliminated the beautiful basketball that they were playing.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: It seemed like they had lost their identity on both
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: sides of the floor. Right you think about the last
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: game or a couple games ago, when they ended up winning,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: they throw the zone out there, boom, Evan Moby's at
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the top of their roam and he's doing great stuff.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: He got like seven stocks total, six stocks total. And
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: the next game they try to run the same thing
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and Rick Carlyon and them, they're really prepared. Pascal Siakama,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I need you to do this mouse turn On needs
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: you to dominate this how to get them out of
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: the zone. And I felt like they lost their defensive
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: identity time and time again. They also lost their offensive identity. Well,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: this Pacer team is not They're not a team that
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: we talk about like the OKC Thunders defense. They're not
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: a team that held we don't talk about the Calves
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: defense of this one. But they found a way to
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: make the Calves look silly. They found a way to
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: make the Calves look silly. And now we got to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: go into the what's next for the Calves thing because
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: there's a cop diferent ways it can go. You know,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: you talk about these aprons, can you can look at
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: it and say they don't have a lot of wigger
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: room to get better, to do really anything. And I'm
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: sure there may be a portion of cass fan and
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I was like, hey, this is bad luck, right, they
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: went against a super hot team, a top four team
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: since January first, I'll say it again. And then we
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: also had all of our knickknack injuries where we missed
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: our dpo wif or a game, we missed our all
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: NBA point guard for a game. It's our six Man
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: the Year candidate four game. And you know, we run
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: it back with another year on of Kenny Akison and
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: maybe it becomes better. Like I think even Don Mitchell
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: is like, we'll be back next season whatever whatever. But
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: it also is a world. It's like, maybe maybe we
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: should be making some decisions, right. I think Jared Allen
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: has not been as good in the postseason as he
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: is in the regular season.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Lights too bright for me a few years ago. I
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: just I haven't loved his play.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: And I think that a lot of the conversation around
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Evan Mobley has been does he project more to be
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: a four or five?
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: You know, when he gets into his prime?
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: And I think that's gonna be something that they really
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: explore what happens with Jared Allen at this point, because
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I don't think he made a last to imprint on
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: this game. I mean early on, you know, him and
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Evan Mobley started off this game being really aggressive and
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: getting some buckets here there, but it didn't really last.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: And there are gonna be a lot of teams that
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: are interested in Jared Allen's and the player.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of teams that could use
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: center play.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: And it's just like, Okay, if we're trading away Jared Allen,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: what do we expected to get in return that can
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: make us better. We're probably gonna lose Ti Jerome, who
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: he didn't even get real minutes. So with the second
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: half because he was just not so good in the series,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: and he gave them a little spark in two straight
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: threes or whatever, but even he ended up having some
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: possessions down the stretch, was like, what are you doing time?
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: I think he gave up like two and ones in
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the third and fourth quarter. It was just too much.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: But they just like going back to the pacers. Here
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Halliburn gives you thirty one, six and eight. And one
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: of the best things to happen to him is people
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: saying that he was overrated. The thirteen to fourteen people
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: to say he's overrated because it really put a magnifying
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: glass on him as a player, because there's no way
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: in the world he was the most overrated player for
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: what it was worth. But now it's like you redo
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the same pole three weeks later, two, a month and
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: a half later, have hell, it's been since that Poe happened.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: There's no way in hell you get thirteen to fourteen.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: People say he is the most overrated because even in
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: the games where he's not giving you thirty one, eight
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: and six, he is the general here, right, and sometimes
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: that doesn't show up on total assists or something like that.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Were like, there have been games where Arrey's halliburt told,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: give you eight points, and he still is the most
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: impactful pacer on the floor because of what he's doing
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: and how it feels like he's two steps ahead. I
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: remember having a conversation about the super computers of super
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: computers across basketball. We mentioned Luca, we mentioned bron We
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: mentioned Jokic, We mentioned like O Dass, Chris Paul for
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: whatever whatever, and some other players like James Harden came
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: into conversation. YadA, yad, YadA, Terry's Halliburton deserves to be
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: in that group of guys again, and just talking about
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: the processing of basketball on the offensive side of the ball.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: There was a time in this game one of his
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: and ones and that was one I thought he was
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: gonna get a T for because he got an one
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: on Max Screws and it was like what he jumps
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: into the air and was like should I pass out?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: And felt the little amount of contact went into it
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: and this is all happened in a split second and
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: then went up for the layup and won. Like some
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: of the stuff that he did in this game when
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: his team was back against the wall for him to
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: close out that second quarter in the manner that he
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: did where I think he has seven it was this
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: seventeen point What did I write down? I think it
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: might have been seventeen points in the second quarter. Fifteen
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: points in the second quarter and five for five from
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: the field, five from five from three, like that is
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: just ridiculous production at that point in time, because that
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: was around the time while I was mentioning that the
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Cavs were up by nineteen points and they just had
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: so many people step up.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: TB.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Thomas Bryant comes in and hits a corner three them
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: like no way in hell. You know, they didn't even
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: get a good TJ. McConn or Ben at the Maathin game,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: but they walked out of there with another victory. Now
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: they wait to see is it the Knicks, which I
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: feel like it will be. GiveWell soon, Jason Tatum, because
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: that was scary and he already went through a surgeon
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: and it was successful.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: But the road to recovery is going to be a
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: long win. So give will soon, Tatum.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: But now we're about to see, potentially more likely than
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: not a PACER's Knicks Conference Finals. And I do not
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: subscribe to the people on Twitter that acted like that
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: will be the worst Conference Finals of all time because
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: these two teams historically have hated each other. These two
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: teams went to Game seven just last season. So like,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I don't give a fuck about ratings, right I care
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: about good basketball.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I care about good series.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, I feel like
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: good serious Traverse ratings personally, So I think that was
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: going that's going to be a good series. And we
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: were talking about and people he was asking based on
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: right now, who would you taking that serious?
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: And I just don't. I just don't know right now.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: So I gotta I gotta.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Lock back in and look at someone the last year's series,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: even though they changed some people around, and look at
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: some of the regular season games. But okay, okay, see thunder. Okay,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: see thunder. Okay, see thunder. Okay, see thunder. There was
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: a stretching this game from the different Nuggets where I
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: think they went six minutes, six minutes without having a
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: field goal in the fourth quarter, second game in a
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: row with the Nuggets came into that fourth and just
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: didn't provide. In fact, they last game they missed what
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: five free throws in the fourth quarter, in the game
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: that they ended up losing by five. And you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: we talked about it being just a matter of time
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: before the best player in the world arrived to this series, right,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Chet Holmgren, I say a hard stein. Jay Will had
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: done a phenomenal job outside of Game one.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: But like he's he's inevitable.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: When you are the best player in the world, you're
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: gonna expect him to give you a few games. And
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: tonight he gave you forty four, fifteen and five. And
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: that five is very significant because it didn't that he
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: didn't allow the okay, see Thune didn't allow them to
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: get the assist to him to get the assist that
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: he normally would. But this was a back against the wall.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I want to come out there. We need this victory
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: more than anything. I mean the shot they hit in
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, the spinning on one leg, throwing it up,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: he even and it just sinks in perfectly. That is
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: in the Kolokid shot. But not a lot of people
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: came along for the ride. Jamal Murray has a good
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: game in theory, but at the down the stretch it
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: came to like missing bunnies and missing layups. Christian Brown
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: They just left him open, wide open all game long.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: And I thought that one of the games that they
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: was that last game that their best offense was.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Christian Brown getting downhill.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I think he did settle for a lot of three
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: pointers in that game as well for him getting downhill.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: That didn't work this time around.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Michael Porter Junior played so bad, but so did Peyton Watson,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: and sold did Russell Westbrook.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: That Michael Porter Junr.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Still had to be on the floor because the worst
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: version of Michael Porter Jr. Is way better than the
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: worst version of Russell Westbrook. So he ended up getting
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: the ball in his head like two times when less
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: than a minute ago in a game that he don't
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: got his jump shot going.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: So it was bad. I was like, who's coming along
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: for the ride?
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: And nobody was really there for Nikola Jokic, and he
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: tried to do it all himself. He almost did it
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: all himself, but they ran out of gas and then
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: the yok thunder started to pick it up and shapen
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: it up into big shots and one over Jamal Murray
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: which is huge, and then the three point it'll put him.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Up six if I'm not mistaken.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Dub hits the big three pointer in the corner, and
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: like there's so much pressure on that shot because this
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: is like, you know, you you win game five and
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: a two.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Two series, you feel so comfortable.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I mean you probably shuldn't feel comfortable because we see
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: team lose those next two all the time, but it
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: gives you, It gives you that type of comfort. So
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: shooting at that corner shot, I can imagine the amount
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: of pressure that is on him, and that ball barely
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: got over the lip to land into there in a
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: big three from him, I thought, I think that Jay
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Will this entire series is just giving them something because
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: for what for for better or for worse. He's beating
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: the hell out of Yokic, and you can argue that
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: some of them maybe fouls that are getting called, but
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: like he's doing he's playing his role to a t.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Some of the ones are like getting under Yokich's skim right,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: He's doing that perfectly.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Some other people came along for the ride.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Alixe Caruso continues to just be great and lou Dort
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter, Lou read the group chat like in the
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: second quarter, and Pierre is like, man, lou Dort may
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: have to get benched again, just like he didn't last
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: game for Casen and Alice caruz So. Then Lou Dort
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: comes in here with three threes in the fourth quarter
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: when they're down by whatever, Come on, Lou, and you
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: know they have a decent offensive game. And that's just
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: kind of that feels like that's been rare in this series, right,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: other than their big ass win in Game number two
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: and then game of one that they choked away, that
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: the offense hasn't been the loan for the ride as well,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: and this was one of those games. And now they
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: get two shots to win, one, one in Paul Arena,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: one at home, and that home crowd is electric, right
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: even when the Nuggets are.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Up by nine with what did I have? Up by twelve?
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: At one point in this game, the crowd dig it
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: a little bit quiet, but like as soon as the
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: next basket hit, the crowd was right back at too it.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Of course, they got all the shirt on and okay,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: see's one game away from the conference finals. But I
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: can't say it's over because of what Nikola Yokus just did.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Nicolei Okus has one other player come along for the ride.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna use that again. And this game could be different.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: You know, that's how bang bang These series can really
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: be just like a game number one. I mean, this
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: series could be over if Martin dat Naud is a foul,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: up three. But but but you know, one to two
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: to three minute stretch can really determine what the hell
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: is happening at the end of a series.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, what a night for basketball.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow we get uh yeah, we get two games that
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: could end the series. Knicks are up three to one,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: We'll see how does Celtics react to not having Tatum
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: out there. And then the Wolves are one game away
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: from winning against the Warriors as well. So appreciate all
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: of y'all. Go watch the other stuff. I mean, if
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: you want to, I guess
