Listen, at the end of the day, if the Knicks are going to win this series,
00:04
they have to get contributions up and down the roster.
00:08
And the last thing is Tom Thibodeau cannot revert back to Tom Thibodeau
00:12
winning Julius Randle, which is give the ball to Randle,
00:15
pound, pound, pound, pound, pound, pound, pound, pound, load up the defense.
00:18
I think at times it's better with the Knicks when Brunson is a distributor.
00:23
He lets other guys get involved.
00:25
He doesn't pound his dribble to run out the shot clock.
00:27
The Knicks have to play more team ball because when they do, Pharrell,
00:31
they do have a bunch of guys that are capable of scoring and could attack matchups.
00:35
So, Coach, what do you do about how they look gassed in that last eight minutes,
00:42
in my opinion, and in the overtime, they didn't look as, you know, energized as the Pacers.
00:51
I thought the Obi-Wan Kenobi plays at the rim and the dunk, he got fouled on that and one, no call.
00:57
I thought they ran better.
00:59
I thought they moved the ball better.
01:01
I thought the Knicks just used these seven guys.
01:05
Like, do you think they could actually use Precious, Mitchell, Deuce, and Payne and get away with it?
01:15
Like, in other words, when they don't have their five core that everyone thinks is so fabulous in,
01:20
can he mix it up and give guys some rest so that they have better fuel for Byrd at the end of the game
01:27
and overtime if needed?
01:30
For real, they did.
01:31
In the first half, he played these guys.
01:34
Campaign was really huge at some points during this game, hitting a couple of threes.
01:38
Now, it's the problem with Campaign.
01:38
This campaign gets completely out of control sometimes.
01:41
He hits one shot and then he thinks it's Jimmy Chipwood coming over here and shooting the ball every which angle that he can,
01:47
and he really has an ugly shot.
01:49
Sometimes you got to feel it, Coach.
01:51
Yeah, well, sometimes you got to feel it but not shoot it.
01:53
You know what I'm saying?
01:54
Just because you hit one don't mean you're Dale Ellis at the three-point line.
01:58
If you don't know who Dale Ellis is, kids, go, go, go.
02:00
He had a big game, a big shot.
02:03
Go, go do your research on YouTube during the commercial break before I come back with my second shot.
02:08
But to me, you got to play your guys.
02:11
Listen, the Knicks starting five, defensive rating, I think it was like 166.
02:19
Like, that's bad.
02:22
That's terrible bad.
02:24
Deuce, Mitchell Robinson, give them minutes.
02:27
There's been thought about, like, do they start Mitchell Robinson?
02:31
Because he gets – Miles Turner don't want to bang with him down there.
02:35
He don't want that smoke.
02:37
So, do you put – Mitchell Robinson go big, big sometimes.
02:40
You got to get deuce minutes.
02:41
And, yeah, I would get pain.
02:43
I would get pressure just a little bit of time.
02:44
I'm not saying play these guys 25 minutes.
02:47
But give them eight to ten minutes just to give your guys enough rest.
02:51
And then with Brunson, because they're beating him up, bringing him off the floor.
02:55
Let Hart bring it up.
02:56
Let Mikel bring it up.
02:58
Let OG bring it up.
02:59
Mix up who gets the one to the front court before you start your offense.
03:03
Because all Indiana's doing is picking up Jalen a bunch of 94 feet,
03:06
and they're literally beating him up the floor.
03:09
And smartly, the refs aren't calling.
03:10
It's a phone for Carlisle.
03:12
I don't change what I do.
03:13
I beat the guy up up the floor and make the referees call it.
03:17
Let's do it.
