00:00So Cleveland tomorrow night is laying eight in a do-or-die game five on their home floor at the Rocket in the land.

00:10I would think they get it done at home.

00:12I would think that Mobley and Allen have something to do with this.

00:16I know, you know, Spida's ankle's an issue.

00:19That means Garland has to do more.

00:21Strews has to do more.

00:23They can all still win this game with Kenny, can't they?

00:26Because I like the Pacers in this series.

00:28But what happens tomorrow night in the land?

00:30Well, I think the Cavaliers at least extend it to a game number six.

00:34There's just too many guys on that team that can play outscore.

00:36Like, listen, at the end of the day, forget about Spida Mitchell, you know, being hurt and scoring 12 points in 20 minutes.

00:43You got 12 points and seven rebounds out of Evan Mobley and Jared Allen.

00:50That's not happening again.

00:52They were thoroughly outplayed.

00:53And I'll be honest with you, Pharrell, I think once they were down by 25, I think Kenny Atkinson just took it.

01:00Just took it.

01:00Said, all right, you know what?

01:02They got to come back to our place.

01:04I'm not going to expend these guys.

01:06And I thought it was somewhat smart because if you think about it, no starter played more than 27 minutes for Cleveland, right?

01:12So, I think they're going to be well-rested going into game five.

01:16I think they find a way.

01:17And this is another situation where a team butchered it.

01:20And we have to talk about this, Pharrell.

01:22Like, game number two, you can't get the ball inbounds on a slob or a sideline out of bounds, right?

01:30And then you can't box out on a free throw.

01:33Like, these are the things that games are being decided on, which is madding to me as a coach.

01:38That being said, I think Cleveland covers the spread and wins game five.

01:42But I think Indiana closes out in six because I think Cleveland's got too many injuries.
