00:00Here's Donovan Mitchell. The Cavs are down 0-2. They need to get to work.

00:04How do you mentally get past this as you look forward to Friday for the injury?

00:09You ain't got no choice. I mean, we can sit here and dwell on this and be home in about four or five days.

00:16Or we can move on and take some things that we did really well and go from there.

00:22I have no doubt everybody in that locker room is ready for Friday.

00:26It sucks. It stings. But we've got to go out there and take care of business.

00:32Otherwise, that's it. But I believe in everybody in the locker room. We believe in each other.

00:37We'll figure it out.

00:39If the Pacers win that game, it's all she wrote.

00:46Yeah, no doubt. I mean, 3-0, it's absolutely all she wrote.

00:50Look, here's my thing. Can the Cavs get some of these guys back?

00:53You know, that's really what it comes down to.

00:57That's their problem.

00:58Mitchell's dragging himself all over the place.

01:01And he just, he's not going to be, he ain't putting 48 points up again on Friday in Game 3.

01:06He is not. Someone's got, I mean, what's the matter with Garland? He's got a toe?

01:11A big toe. There's nothing worse than toe jam, Carver High. Stay focused.

01:15Okay, fair enough.

01:17Here is Atkinson. We'll try to slide him in if we can.

01:20The Cavs just need to get healthy.

01:21Yeah, we got to get guys back. That's first.

01:25Hopefully, if we can, you know, we can get guys back.

01:30I've been down 2-0 before at home.

01:35And, you know, we have enough talent.

01:37We have enough talent in there to go get, you know, Game 3.

01:41That's it. That's all that counts.

01:42Not Game 4, not Game, you know.

01:43We've just got to focus on getting Game 3.

01:46But, you know, that's a tough blow, no doubt about it.

01:52Well, let's not act like this is some kind of walk in the park at the Fieldhouse in Indy.

01:56This is not a, this is no cakewalk.

01:59No cakewalk.

02:01Indiana, of course, now the favorites for this series after taking the first two games.

02:06They're minus $1.98.

02:07Three teams have come back from seven-plus points down in the final minute of an NBA playoff game.

02:12Two of them are the Pacers in the last two weeks.

02:15The other was the Thunder in 2014.

02:17They're no joke.
