00:00I thought the, you know, Knicks turnovers were the difference for me.

00:04I really do because they had 17 of them.

00:07It led to 20 points for the Pacers.

00:12I bet the Pacers minus two and a half.

00:15I've had the Pacers since the beginning of the series,

00:18since the beginning of the playoffs.

00:19I've been on the Pacers to go to the NBA finals.

00:22And they're going to go one way or the other.

00:24I don't believe for one minute the Knicks are winning three straight games.

00:28No, this is the advantage, Scott.

00:30Of playing fast, right?

00:31We see it with the Dallas Stars and the Edmonton Oilers, which we'll get to.

00:34But the Pacers have the Knicks playing the Pacers' style of basketball, right?

00:41Whoever imposes, you know, your style, your will on the other team

00:46generally wins the series.

00:47And the Knicks are playing so fast, Scott.

00:50And you can say, wow, you know, look at the Knicks.

00:52They're actually putting up a ton of points.

00:53Yeah, but they're turning the ball over a ton, as you stated.

00:57Just absolutely brutal.

00:58So, 17 assists, 17 turnovers on the night.

01:02Halliburton, 15 assists, zero turnovers, right?

01:05There's your difference.

01:06How many times did we see Knick players take the ball into the paint, Scott,

01:11and just, like, carelessly dribble the ball, right?

01:14And they're not ball handlers.

01:15So, sort of just, you know, like, frenetic type of chaotic street ball type of stuff.

01:21And it led to one turnover after another.

01:24I thought Thibodeau should have called a timeout, actually, in the first half.

01:26Because there was, like, 10 of them, Scott, in the first half.

01:29It was worse in the first half.

01:30It got better in the second half.

01:32But it was just one.

01:33It was like, guys, like, you know what I mean?

01:34We're like, you'd get the stop, too.

01:36They'd get a steal.

01:37They'd get the rebound.

01:38They'd push the tempo up the floor.

01:40And they'd turn the ball over, right?

01:42Like, they would literally just dribble it like crazy, like, you know,

01:45like a street ball dude that doesn't handle the ball.

01:47And next thing you know, they'd just poke it for a transitional fast break

01:51on the other side.

01:52It absolutely killed them.

01:53But that's the pace, the depth, and the Knicks have hit a wall right now, Scott.

01:58And they're getting frustrated.

01:59It's all over but the crying.

02:01And the thing is, we talk about it.

02:03They feel the pressure, you know, whatever.

02:05They're not a very good home team.

02:06They're 3-5 straight up in the playoffs at MSG.

02:09So, it's not like they have something to hang their hat on.

02:11Oh, it's like the Leafs.

02:13Oh, we're going back to Toronto.

02:14Good for you.

02:15You lose in Toronto all the time.

02:17Like, you're better off on the road.

02:18And look at the Knicks.

02:19They've won three playoff games at home.

02:21They've lost five.

02:24So, you think they'll lose again in game five and that'll be it?

02:27They'll lose to them at home and they won't even stay alive one more?

02:30Well, I mean, now we have the, I don't know,

02:32as serious as, you know, the cat situation is for the next game.

02:36But, no, I said yesterday, Scott, so I almost have to stand by it, right?

02:40I said yesterday that I thought the Pacers would win,

02:43the Knicks probably win the game five,

02:45and then they lose back in Indianapolis.

02:48But, you know, this Pacer team is pretty dangerous, man,

02:51and they're pretty deep, right?

02:52Like, they don't have to count on one dude.

02:54So, as of right now.

02:57What if they win both games and then a seventh game is at the Garden?

03:01Will they lose that one?

03:03Yeah, I think then that would be the ultimate heartbreak.

03:05And it would be just like the Toronto Maple Leafs.

03:07They send it back to seven.

03:09They fleece their fans for another $1,200 to sit in the last row, Scott,

03:12and they lose.

03:13They're tough.

03:14And they lose.

03:15So, you know,

03:15they were trying to do the aventural página net,

03:17they did, because it was a

03:29day that we could get the underpants,

03:31but that's all.

03:31So, get to go ahead.
