Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, man, I have no idea how he is able
- 0:03Speaker 1: to do it every single time in a game with
- 0:06Speaker 1: Tyris Halliburn didn't look like his normal self, he still
- 0:10Speaker 1: walks out as the hero.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Game winning shot.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Now in the first round, in the second round, in
- 0:15Speaker 1: the conference finals, and now in the NBA Finals. Are
- 0:21Speaker 1: we being serious?
- 0:23Speaker 2: This is one of the.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Most peculiar individual runs you'll ever see, because if you
- 0:28Speaker 1: ask yourself, oh, who's had the clutches run in NBA history?
- 0:32Speaker 1: Right in the postseason run, you're usually gonna talk about
- 0:34Speaker 1: guys this average of twenty five or thirty at night.
- 0:37Speaker 1: This man just had a game where he had what
- 0:39Speaker 1: fourteen point I don't even know what the final box
- 0:40Speaker 1: score was, fourteen or so points and still got the
- 0:43Speaker 1: ball in his hands.
- 0:44Speaker 2: I'm watching and they get the rebound right, and I'm.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Like, Okay, Rick Carlos is probably gonna call time outs
- 0:50Speaker 1: Tarver's Halliburn is struggling to get the ball up the court.
- 0:53Speaker 1: But no, Rick understands that he's got the clutches player
- 0:55Speaker 1: in the league on this thing, because damn it, I
- 0:57Speaker 1: don't know how we can say otherwise at this point.
- 1:00Speaker 1: If a player does not miss game winning and game
- 1:02Speaker 1: TI in shots. How can he not be the clutchest
- 1:05Speaker 1: player in the league.
- 1:05Speaker 2: I have to go to the basement. I went to

- 2:27Speaker 2: I won't lie.
- 2:29Speaker 1: They don't look as good as the links Jersey, but
- 2:32Speaker 1: for today's video, you gotta show the love, you gotta
- 2:34Speaker 1: show the respect to Hallie. This game is very interesting.
- 2:38Speaker 1: We saw very early on that coach Mark decided to
- 2:41Speaker 1: go with Caseon Wallace in the lineup instead of Isaiah Hartenstein.
- 2:44Speaker 1: And you know, if you watch this game, the turnovers
- 2:47Speaker 1: that the Pacers had in this one, it just felt like,
- 2:51Speaker 1: you know, the most smothering defense of all time was
- 2:53Speaker 1: the most smothering, smothering defense of all time. But the
- 2:56Speaker 1: one silver lining of it all something I even tweeted about.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Even with them turning the ball over nineteen times in
- 3:01Speaker 1: the first half, it only equated to nine points off
- 3:04Speaker 1: turnovers for.
- 3:06Speaker 2: The OKAC Thunder. That is a blessing.
- 3:08Speaker 1: And part of that is the OKC Thunder regenerating good
- 3:11Speaker 1: looks in these turnovers and weren't making them. But also
- 3:14Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers played phenomenal transition defense all game loan.
- 3:18Speaker 1: They completely gave up on any opportunity to grab a
- 3:20Speaker 1: bunch of offensive rebounds. They decided that we need to get
- 3:22Speaker 1: back just like this team, just like us, this team
- 3:25Speaker 1: that were going against as a team that wants to run,
- 3:26Speaker 1: they want to get in transition, and we're not gonna
- 3:28Speaker 1: allow them.
- 3:28Speaker 2: To do that.
- 3:29Speaker 1: I thought that early on, Pascal Siakam did a really
- 3:31Speaker 1: good job of taking advantage of the mismatches. Right in
- 3:34Speaker 1: a series where you are the underdog, the heavy underdog,
- 3:37Speaker 1: you have to try to find the one thing, the
- 3:40Speaker 1: two things that you can take advantage of and let
- 3:42Speaker 1: it be your bread and butter. In this one, it
- 3:44Speaker 1: was them being able to get Pascal Siakam switched with
- 3:47Speaker 1: Cason Wallace on his back, Alex Caruso on the back,
- 3:50Speaker 1: and very early in this game. One thing I liked
- 3:51Speaker 1: that Pascal Siakam did do, and he kind of steered
- 3:53Speaker 1: away from this a little bit in the second average
- 3:55Speaker 1: I didn't like as much is that as soon as
- 3:57Speaker 1: he touched the ball with the mismatch, it was a bucket.
- 3:59Speaker 1: He wasn't over thinking, he wasn't looking for a pass out,
- 4:01Speaker 1: he wasn't waiting for the help side to come over.
- 4:04Speaker 2: It was like, give me the ball and I'm gonna
- 4:05Speaker 2: go up. It did bite them in.
- 4:06Speaker 1: The ass a few different times because some of the
- 4:08Speaker 1: turnovers that they ended up having was like entry passes
- 4:10Speaker 1: to Miles Turner, who's just not very good at finishing
- 4:13Speaker 1: at the rim in the first place, but Miles Turner
- 4:15Speaker 1: having a small defender trying to get him the ball.
- 4:17Speaker 2: No, no, no, okay, see just gonna take that.
- 4:18Speaker 1: In the same thing with Pascal Siakam, my thought, again,
- 4:21Speaker 1: they did a good job there. The Halliburn thing him
- 4:24Speaker 1: hitting this game winner changes the whole conversation about his
- 4:28Speaker 1: game completely because very early on, if you look at
- 4:31Speaker 1: the previews that I did, whether it be on numbers
- 4:33Speaker 1: on the board or whatever we talked about. In the
- 4:35Speaker 1: two regular season games that OKAC played against the Indiana Pacers,
- 4:38Speaker 1: lou Dort Slash the OKC Thunder have been really able
- 4:41Speaker 1: to get Tyry's Halliburn out of this game complearly. It
- 4:44Speaker 1: was his lowest usage of any games or any opponents
- 4:46Speaker 1: so far the season, and he just didn't take many shots.
- 4:49Speaker 2: He didn't really have the ball.
- 4:50Speaker 1: He played off ball, and I was hoping that they
- 4:52Speaker 1: tried to figure out a way to get Halliburton going,
- 4:55Speaker 1: even though lou Dort was gonna be his primary defender
- 4:57Speaker 1: and ain't weren't really doing that and low key it
- 4:59Speaker 1: kind of ended up being the blessing because they running
- 5:01Speaker 1: a lot of their actions in the second half through
- 5:03Speaker 1: nim Hard and nim Hard. Even though Tyre's Halliburn hits
- 5:06Speaker 1: the biggest shot of the game in the game that
- 5:07Speaker 1: ends up winning it, nim Hard in this fourth quarter,
- 5:10Speaker 1: let me recheck because I didn't write it down. Let
- 5:11Speaker 1: me see if I could quickly go through and the
- 5:13Speaker 1: fourth Cordy at eight points two to five, step back
- 5:15Speaker 1: three three main free throws like he was really good
- 5:18Speaker 1: during that stretch where they ended up winning, So I
- 5:21Speaker 1: was hoping to see a little bit more of Tyre's
- 5:23Speaker 1: Halliburn and secondary actions or as a screener. We saw
- 5:26Speaker 1: it every once in a while, and sometimes he did
- 5:28Speaker 1: become the screener and they got the switch. And when
- 5:30Speaker 1: you're going against a team with so many great defensive players,
- 5:33Speaker 1: I feel like I'm glazing. Okay, See, even though they lost,
- 5:35Speaker 1: they have so many great defensive players. They're like, you
- 5:37Speaker 1: get the switch right, and the switch happens to be
- 5:41Speaker 1: shake He ors Alexander because you're not gonna get the
- 5:43Speaker 1: switch on caseon Wallace or Alix Carusso or dub of
- 5:45Speaker 1: Dort and a lot of cases. Sga is the worst
- 5:48Speaker 1: perimeter defender on the court. So Tyre's Halliburn gets the
- 5:51Speaker 1: switch off him being the screen man, but instead of
- 5:53Speaker 1: him trying to attack Sga, it ended up being just
- 5:57Speaker 1: another pass out of something else. And I got pretty
- 5:59Speaker 1: frust with that because I thought that this was one
- 6:01Speaker 1: of the few opportunities that Tyre's Halliburton would have to
- 6:05Speaker 1: get to the basket and break down his defense. I
- 6:07Speaker 1: think early on, a lot of the turnovers that we
- 6:09Speaker 1: saw were like a nerves. I think Obi topping and
- 6:11Speaker 1: that first stit that he had was whoa shout out
- 6:14Speaker 1: to him because he redeemed himself heavily. But that first sting,
- 6:17Speaker 1: I think he had three turnovers in four minutes time.
- 6:19Speaker 2: It was really really bad.
- 6:21Speaker 1: But the other ones where them trying to play this
- 6:23Speaker 1: free flowing ball, swingy type game and okay, so you
- 6:26Speaker 1: don't really like that. And I thought in the second
- 6:28Speaker 1: half they simplified everything. The one advantage I thought that
- 6:31Speaker 1: the Pacers had going into the series is how creative
- 6:33Speaker 1: they can be on the offensive side of the ball.
- 6:35Speaker 1: That creativity ended up being like a curse in the
- 6:38Speaker 1: first half of them trying to generate you know, these
- 6:41Speaker 1: open looks off the second pass or the third pass,
- 6:43Speaker 1: and those things weren't really there. And in the second half,
- 6:46Speaker 1: I thought they simplified, simplified everything. It's like, hey, we're
- 6:49Speaker 1: gonna try to get a paint touch, we're gonna go
- 6:51Speaker 1: up if we got that pace touch, or we're just
- 6:53Speaker 1: gonna swing at one pass.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Some of the shots they ended up hitting off the.
- 6:56Speaker 1: One pass where contested shots, but that might have been
- 6:58Speaker 1: the best shot you can generate. I guess it's OKC team,
- 7:01Speaker 1: whether it be the corner three that Miles Turner hit
- 7:04Speaker 1: off the goddamn off the goddamn glass, or the seventeen
- 7:07Speaker 1: three pointers that Obie Topping took that will ride open.
- 7:10Speaker 2: This is just them.
- 7:12Speaker 1: I saw somebody on Twitter call them the possum Pacers
- 7:15Speaker 1: because they gonna they're gonna play Dad, but they're never
- 7:18Speaker 1: actually damn And it's fourth quarter and the biggest lead
- 7:21Speaker 1: during that fourth quarter.
- 7:22Speaker 2: I did write that in my notes.
- 7:23Speaker 1: The biggest lead ended up being fifteen point lead with
- 7:27Speaker 1: nine minutes to go.
- 7:28Speaker 2: They hit a shot and on the broadcast, are like.
- 7:31Speaker 1: The biggest leader of the ninth for OKC nine minutes
- 7:35Speaker 1: the first lead of the game for the Pacers is
- 7:37Speaker 1: the game winner. That's nuts. That's just overall nuts for
- 7:41Speaker 1: them not giving giving up. I thought that the Pacers
- 7:44Speaker 1: also did one thing that probably gonna go undernotice here
- 7:47Speaker 1: Again I mentioned their defense and transition in that first
- 7:49Speaker 1: half after they turned the ball over the nineteen different times,
- 7:51Speaker 1: but they prevented the OKAC Thunder from playing any brand
- 7:55Speaker 1: of beautiful basketball as well, where it's like, hey man,
- 7:58Speaker 1: if you want to play single shade, gonna let you
- 8:00Speaker 1: run and taking shots if you want to play single
- 8:02Speaker 1: covered stuff. Doube, we're gonna let you do that. We're
- 8:04Speaker 1: not allowing y'all to swing the ball either. And in
- 8:07Speaker 1: this game, okay See ended up with just how many assists.
- 8:10Speaker 1: They ended up having thirteen assists on almost forty makes
- 8:13Speaker 1: at thirty nine makes, and only thirteen of those were
- 8:16Speaker 1: off a pass.
- 8:17Speaker 2: That's pretty damn good for the Indiana Pacers. Man.
- 8:21Speaker 1: I don't know if that's okay See not doing a
- 8:23Speaker 1: good enough job of getting them in rotations or if
- 8:27Speaker 1: the Pacers just didn't allow them to do that. And
- 8:29Speaker 1: now that we got what three days in between games,
- 8:31Speaker 1: I can rewatch a lot of this stuff and really
- 8:33Speaker 1: come to a conclusion.
- 8:35Speaker 2: But that swing swing, dribble cut thing.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Like it ended up working in the first half, but
- 8:40Speaker 1: in the second half, to simplifying the oh and nim
- 8:43Speaker 1: Hard doing an amazing job, turn up doing an amazing
- 8:46Speaker 1: job down the stretch of just hitting shots, just hitting shots,
- 8:50Speaker 1: and okay See went extremely cold. One thing, if I
- 8:53Speaker 1: am going to be critical of shay gives Alexander for anything,
- 8:57Speaker 1: I do believe that some of the times when his
- 9:00Speaker 1: team is back against the wall the other team's going
- 9:02Speaker 1: on the run, he feels the need to like, come on,
- 9:05Speaker 1: I got us, and he's the MVP of the league.
- 9:06Speaker 1: I'm not asking him not to do that. But sometimes
- 9:08Speaker 1: it overextends itself just a little bit. And I thought
- 9:10Speaker 1: that might have been a case in this game down
- 9:12Speaker 1: to stretch, because they didn't.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Generate a bunch of good looks.
- 9:16Speaker 1: They truly didn't, so that that was one of the
- 9:18Speaker 1: most interesting things about the games. As much as we
- 9:21Speaker 1: got to give praise to the to the Indiana Pacers
- 9:24Speaker 1: on this comeback, somebody stats are insane. I mean, okay,
- 9:30Speaker 1: see took sixteen more shots, sixteen more shots, they had
- 9:35Speaker 1: eighteen less turnovers, sixteen more shots, eighteen less turnovers and loss.
- 9:44Speaker 2: What that thought?
- 9:45Speaker 1: These these stats don't make any sense whatsoever.
- 9:51Speaker 2: And here we are.
- 9:53Speaker 1: You know, the pace of the Pacers have been able
- 9:55Speaker 1: to play with throughout their first couple series have been
- 9:57Speaker 1: again one of their one of their greatest features about
- 10:01Speaker 1: their team. But then being able to slow down the
- 10:04Speaker 1: pace in the second half, I think it just threw
- 10:07Speaker 1: okayc off just more than I could have ever anticipated.
- 10:12Speaker 1: I don't know, I have a podcast or shooting the morning,
- 10:14Speaker 1: so I have to rewatch the entire second half to
- 10:16Speaker 1: kind of get into it a little bit more so
- 10:18Speaker 1: if you want, if you want me to cover more
- 10:21Speaker 1: of game number one, that podcast will be coming out
- 10:23Speaker 1: afternoon tomorrow. Again, we got so many days in between
- 10:26Speaker 1: games that I can't.
- 10:28Speaker 2: Go to bed. I gotta be up very early, but
- 10:30Speaker 2: I cannot go to bed.
- 10:31Speaker 1: I have to rewatch this game, or at least the
- 10:32Speaker 1: second half, because this was.
- 10:34Speaker 2: A really good woman.
- 10:36Speaker 1: There is way too many for my like in conversations
- 10:39Speaker 1: about you know, it being too small in markets or
- 10:42Speaker 1: this and that. I even saw this morning people on
- 10:44Speaker 1: TV talking about it being the easiest path to the
- 10:46Speaker 1: finals ever for the Indiana Pacers, which is just some
- 10:49Speaker 1: bullshit because they said the same thing about the Boston
- 10:51Speaker 1: Celtics last year. They said the same thing in twenty
- 10:54Speaker 1: twenty three. They said the same thing in twenty twenty two.
- 10:58Speaker 1: In twenty twenty, of course the bubble, everybody talk about
- 11:01Speaker 1: the Lakers. Who else it was the Nuggets run. The
- 11:03Speaker 1: Nuggets didn't beat the team over fifty wins. It just
- 11:07Speaker 1: feels like there's always the Warriors run was plagued with injuries.
- 11:12Speaker 2: It's just too much conversation about the shit that doesn't matter.
- 11:15Speaker 2: In basketball.
- 11:16Speaker 1: This was a chess match between two coaches and a
- 11:20Speaker 1: big ass shot, a shot you will always remember in
- 11:22Speaker 1: Game one and I can't wait to rewatch it.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Let me know what you think.
