00:00Here he is talking about the turnovers, which for them was very uncharacteristic, especially you mentioned these before, those inbound steals by McConnell, which you could just forget happening once, happening multiple times is really not good.
00:15Here was SGA's thoughts on that.
00:16Yeah, those plays hurt, especially because they're very controllable. You can take your time and amount of ball, but you make mistakes in basketball, no matter the stage, and we definitely had opportunities to cover those things up, but also, you also don't let plays like that happen.
00:35So, yeah, like it just goes back to being tighter, being more focused, being more forceful all night, and things like that really hurt for sure.
00:47Listen, I'll say this, Mike. I've never played in a basketball game in my life, and I play in thousands of them, where there aren't all kinds of mistakes made.
00:57Turnovers, loose balls, pass out of bounds, step on the line, ball off your hand.
01:04You know what I mean? Like, it happens. Like, if you were watching that game last night, Richard Jefferson was slamming them for mistakes they're making.
01:11These are, I think, natural mistakes that happen in every single basketball game.
01:16Now, I thought that those inbound passes were stupid. That wasn't natural. That was stupidity.
01:24So, natural is you throw the ball inbounds, it goes off the guy's hand and rolls out of bounds.
01:29That's just a natural mistake. Unnatural is when you throw it to the guy.
01:34He's standing right in front of you, and you give him the ball. They did it twice.
01:40They did it twice. And look, I didn't get to mention this, because obviously we played Carlisle real fast.
01:48I think that Carlisle has, he's ran circles around Danielle in this series, from a coaching perspective, just matchup-wise.
01:58I mean, he's got Danielle. This guy, Danielle, is doing things that he didn't do all year long, like with his lineups, and he's changing things up, and he's got, he doesn't believe it.
02:06The big's out. Hartenstein's not getting burned. Like, he, I don't know why you change now.
02:10I think Barkley was saying, did you see the clip of Barkley saying it after the game last night on the floor?
02:15No, thank God.
02:17But Carlisle has schooled this guy who's in his first run at doing this, in a big spot in the finals like Danielle.
02:24I agree with you, Mike, and let's not forget, he's already got a ring. He did it when he was young, with Dallas.
02:31It was a long time ago, but he's on the verge of winning two, and this would be really the biggest upset ever, if you think about it,
02:41because they were minus 760 or something when it started. Now, the other day it was 560, and now what are they?
02:49They still don't respect them. No one respects the Pacers at all while they're sleeping with your wife.
02:53Now look at it. Now look at it.
02:57They're still plus 190, and they're up a game.
03:00I told you the other day, when they were 430-something, I said, bet money on the Pacers.
03:07You're going to make money if they pull this off, and the if is starting to become when.
03:14It really has. They've done a tremendous job with it.
03:17Jalen Williams, of course, they were down 2-1 to the Nuggets in the second round.
03:23He says, we've been there before. We'll be all right.
03:25I mean, we've been in that exact same kind of predicament.
03:30This game 3 was a better game 3 than the ones we've had, so we'll take that and run with it.
03:35I want to go with him. Look at him. He's all cool like a gangster.
03:38It's very pivotal, obviously. You know, you don't like being down in a series, but we have been here before,
03:42so we'll use that experience and work to get better from it.
03:45I thought he came out and played terrifically in the first quarter, and he was hitting everything,
03:51and then he just didn't batter. Like, what are you doing, bro? If you're that hot, you got to keep firing.
03:57And I'll tell you what, I'm just going to say it now. I'm not looking at anything.
04:01I'm just saying, they're going to win Friday night. As sure as I'm sitting here, they're winning Friday night.
04:09And SGA, he going over 35 on Friday night. He's going to have a 45 piece on Friday night.
04:16You watch. It's 2-2 going back to Oak City for Game 5. Mark my words.
