00:00Great regular season, once again fall short in the postseason.
00:03What needs to change?
00:04The mental part, you know, that we've got to get over that.
00:09You know, I just felt like we got another jump to make
00:16with kind of our mental strength.
00:20But I love our togetherness.
00:22I love our leadership.
00:24I love our maturity, all that.
00:26So those would be the two areas.
00:27Like, if you, you know, kind of right off the bat, I think we've got to get better.
00:32Mental.
00:33Fair enough.
00:34It's all mental sometimes.
00:36It's all mental, up in the head.
00:38And that's kind of what it's been with the Cavs, honestly, the last couple of years.
00:42But they got worked in this series.
00:43I mean, I know they've had injuries, but they got worked.
00:47I mean, you can't have Strews show up and miss every single shot he takes.
00:51It was a John Starks performance.
00:54That's not ideal when that happens either.
00:57You can't have that go on from one guy who makes a lot of shots for you.
01:01Now, here's Kenny talking about the Pacers and what kind of problem they're going to be
01:06for either the Knicks or the Celtics in the next round.
01:09I mean, they beat the Knicks last year the same way.
01:13They wore them down.
01:14I think that the Knicks get injured.
01:15I think there were a few.
01:19It's just mad respect.
01:25It's like a college team.
01:28I say that in a really good way.
01:30They press for 48 minutes, and they run faster than anybody in the league.
01:37We have the data.
01:38I wish I had a graph, right?
01:40You've got the league.
01:41We're kind of up there, and probably 60, and they're up here.
01:46So, and I think, to their credit, I think they've recruited to that type of style of play.
01:55They've surrounded their best player with that.
02:00Listen, I don't know how many times I can say this.
02:03They are so dangerous.
02:05Like I said earlier, they got two for every job, and both guys are as good as the other.
02:12Like there's no drop-off at all between their rotations.
02:18They just have a great way of playing basketball, and they just keep coming at you, and they just keep hitting shots.
02:26And then when they miss, how many times do you see them get a second chance, put back, and put it in?
02:32Like they get rebounds, and they run, and they transition.
02:37They play defense.
02:38They get steals.
02:40They block shots.
02:41They give the other team limited chances.
02:43They grab all the rips off the glass.
02:46They do everything right, and they've got a great coach.
02:50I mean, what more do you need to know?
02:52They're loaded.
02:53That's it.
02:54No one wants to believe that some team from Indianapolis can win the NBA championship.
03:01They just can't have it.
03:03They just don't.
03:04Like the networks don't even want to see it.
03:06The television networks don't want them on there.
03:07Because they're, you know, no one cares about the Pacers.
03:12No one ever has.
03:13I'm telling you, they are a massive problem.
03:16And this guy just said it all right there.
03:18He just said it.
03:19He's like, you don't want to play them.
03:21I mean, they just grind you down and beat you.
03:23And he said the same thing, because the Cavs had three guys injured.
03:28It cost them this series.
03:29The Knicks had two guys injured last year, banged up in that series.
03:32They get their ass beat.
