00:00I think we're seeing, well, I've been saying all year, Indiana's the third deepest team in the league.
00:05OKC is one, Cleveland is two, Indiana is three, and it's a reason why I thought Indiana would hang in this series.
00:11What Indiana's doing is way exceeding my expectation for them, but I thought they would hang with OKC because they do have all of these bench pieces.
00:19Obi Toppin's an absolutely terrific bench player. Ben Shepard's a terrific bench player.
00:23They have good players that can't even make their rotation in Indiana.
00:27So they're not, oh, OKC's going to their bench with Caruso and Wiggins and Case and Wallace and all these guys.
00:34They're like, so? We've got studs off our bench, you know, quasi-starters off our bench, too.
00:39Scott, this series is completely messing with my brain.
00:43You know how we as prognosticators, especially guys like you and I, have been doing this a long, long time.
00:49You formulate an opinion on a series on a game, right?
00:53And then it can be amended and changed as the game goes along.
00:56That's what's happening for me.
00:58I thought OKC was going to win in six.
01:00I mean, no disrespect to Indiana.
01:02It was all respect for the 68-win OKC Thunder.
01:06Scott, think about this, man.
01:08Their advantage over other teams is their depth, not in this series.
01:12Their advantage over other teams is their incredibly historic defense, not against this team, okay?
01:18Indiana is literally everybody's kryptonite, Scotty Pharrell.
01:21And so, I am now questioning if OKC is going to win this series.
01:26You asked me game four.
01:27I don't know.
01:29Like, OKC should win game four.
01:312-2 going back to OKC for game five.
01:34But should happen.
01:36Theories just don't really apply to the Indiana Pacers.
01:40They've been defying theory.
01:41They've been performing magic for two months now.
01:44And so, why should we expect it to end now?
01:46I'm really messed up on this series, Scotty Pharrell.
