00:00All right, I want to hear Rick Carlisle's vision of this thing.

00:04Yeah, well, you know how Rick usually runs things.

00:07Short, sweet, and to the point.

00:09He doesn't like to mess around.

00:10He doesn't have time to break down his rick.

00:12Very busy.

00:13We obviously didn't play with the level of force that we needed to.

00:20We lost the rebound battle.

00:22We lost the turnover battle.

00:24We didn't shoot well.

00:26They had a lot to do with it, so give them credit.

00:28And we're going to have to play much better.

00:32He screams and yells a lot at the refs, too.

00:34He never stops complaining.

00:36Meanwhile, I got to be honest with you, and I'm a Knick fan, fair enough,

00:40but I have told you on a number of occasions that I think it's been called evenly

00:46in terms of the numbers, the number of fouls, the number of free throws,

00:50I have no problem with.

00:51It's the type of fouls that I'm talking about that bother me.

00:55I think you touch the Pacers, they're at the line.

00:58Again, you crucify the Knicks, and you can get away with murder against them,

01:04but if you even touch the Pacers, they're at the free throw line.

01:07Like, so I'm watching guys get shoved in the back,

01:10watching a guy get his hip blown out.

01:12He's laying on the ground cripple and no call ever.

01:15I have thought that the calls are different in terms of they call the same amount of fouls,

01:20but they're different.

01:22They're touch fouls.

01:23They're hammer fouls.

01:24And I just think there's been a big difference in it.

01:27And I think when the Knicks play in Indy, they get,

01:29I really think they get screwed with the touch fouls.

01:33Like, you barely touch them, and they call everything.

01:35And then this guy, Carlisle, screaming and yelling and cussing at the refs.

01:39And really, for the most part, honest to God, Thibodeau doesn't do it.

01:43He'll let him have it a little bit.

01:45You realize this guy, Thibodeau's, like, never had a technical in his entire career?

01:48He doesn't cuss people out, and Carlisle does.

01:52Carlisle freaks on refs.

01:54He comes right out on the court.

01:55He's at the free throw line screaming at them.

01:58Like, he's crazy.

02:00Screw them.

02:01They get too many easy calls in Indy.

02:03Honestly, I'm sick and tired of it.

02:05And I can't stand this guy anymore, either.

02:07I can't stand him or his stupid-ass father.

02:10Well, here is Halliburton.

02:12As we've already said, a miserable night last night in game number five.

02:17He says, don't worry about it.

02:18He's not worried.

02:19He'll be back tomorrow.

02:20No, no.

02:21I mean, we're up 3-1.

02:23Their season's on the line today.

02:24You know, so I understand they're going to come out and play hard.

02:28You know, increase the pressure.

02:29Do whatever they got to do to win.

02:31And they did a great job of that.

02:32And, you know, now it's on us to respond in game six.

02:36So, I think when you get here at this point, there's no such thing as surprises.

02:41You know, you got to be prepared for whatever is to come.

02:46So, you know, kudos to them.

02:48They played better than us today.

02:49And we got to be prepared for game six.

02:51I pray to God and lighting candle.

02:57Honestly, like, I hoped, you have no idea how much I pray that they upset them on Saturday in Indy.

03:05And that we have a game seven Monday night.

03:07That's all I live for.

03:08And all the other nonsense, you can have it.

03:11Do it at whatever the F you want to do with it.

03:14I have no time for anything else.

03:15I need the Knicks to win again.

03:16Last night, I thought it was easy work.

03:19I mean, you have to win.

03:20Now, you have to win on the road.

03:22You've been a great road team in the playoffs.

03:25So, go get one and get it done.

03:28Get a piece.

03:29Show up and steal this and bring it home.

03:33And let's have a game seven Monday night.

03:35If it ends in six, I think it's a drag.

03:38And if it goes seven, it's as good as it gets.

03:41At the Garden on Monday night, it doesn't get better than that.

03:44That's the best place in any league for a game seven is Madison Square Garden.

03:51I'm telling you.
