00:00in last night's game you saw this guy mcconnell i had him over 13 and a half with pra and this guy

00:08has two inbound steals that's all i needed to see that they were going to win the game

00:12a guy standing right in front of you and you throw the ball to him inbounds not once but twice

00:18and that guy scores every time layups and little bunnies in the paint on his and on his cyclical

00:24movie goes around the basket comes out in front and pops that shot and had five dimes to go with

00:31it and a rebound it's embarrassing what they're letting mcconnell do to them and mathurin did the

00:37same thing lit their ass up they had no answers for that bench well scotty it's great to be back

00:44on with you man uh i think we're seeing well i've been saying all year indiana is the third deepest

00:49team in the league okc is one cleveland is two indiana is three and it's a reason why i thought

00:54indiana would hang in this series what indiana is doing is is way exceeding my expectation for them

01:00but i thought they would hang with okc because they do have all of these bench pieces obi toppin's

01:05an absolutely terrific bench player ben shepherd's a terrific bench player they have they have good

01:09players that can't even make their rotation in indiana so they're not oh okc's going to their

01:14bench with caruso and uh and wiggins and and casein wallace and all these guys they're like so uh we've

01:21got studs off our bench you know quasi starters off our bench too scott this series is completely uh

01:27messing with my brain you know how we we as prognosticators especially guys like you and i have been

01:33doing this a long long time um you formulate an opinion on a series on a game right and then it can

01:39be amended and changed as the game goes along that's what's happening for me i thought okc was

01:44going to win in six uh i mean no disrespect to indiana it was all respect for the 68 win okc thunder

01:51scott think about this man their advantage over other teams is their depth not in this series their

01:57advantage over other teams is their incredibly historic defense not against this team okay indiana

02:04is literally everybody's kryptonite scotty pharrell and so i am now questioning if okc is going to win

02:10this series i you asked me game four i don't know like i okc should win game four two two going back

02:17to okc for game five but should happen uh theories just don't really apply to the indiana pacers they've

02:25been defined theory they've been performing magic for two months now and so why should we expect it

02:31to end now i'm really messed up on this series scotty pharrell i want to ask you before i ask another

02:36basketball question i never told you that i went because you and i like the dead i saw him at the

02:42sphere uh with your boy john playing for uh jerry and i gotta tell you i thought he was phenomenal

02:50and i thought that show at the sphere was the coolest thing i ever saw in my life and i went with

02:56my son and if i could have i would have gone the next night because a lot of people go like thursday

03:01friday saturday at all the shows i see all your uh dead stuff on the wall behind you i see your

03:07trippy blanket on your sofa did you get a chance to see him with mayor at the sphere in vegas uh it was

03:14the coolest thing i ever saw and i think they sound better with him than jerry and i'm i'm here to say

03:19it right now and that's that's rude to say but i just think he's magnificent on the stick and singing

03:25and everything else and i think they actually love him so uh yeah i've got a whole thing with

03:31this obviously jerry's my favorite musician of all time he's a hero of mine may he rest in peace

03:36um and and to me the dead haven't been the same and i went to the further fests and i went to some

03:40of the stuff in the 90s after he passed the 95 um and i've kept up with it i did see dead in company

03:46with john mayer in atlanta at state farm arena um and and it it blew my mind because i i slept on him

03:53you know i thought about him as a pop star and um no grudge or anything but like how's a pop star

03:58gonna work with the dead so my bad i went to see it he's very soulful super bluesy he's a shredder

04:05and i was like okay i'll go see this again i've heard from so many people um that i have to go to

04:11the sphere in vegas and see a show like it's literally a a life-changing experience so it's on

04:16the bucket list scotty so the best thing uh james dolan ever did was build the sphere in las vegas

04:23the worst thing he ever did was touch the rangers and nicks because he can't win with either one of

04:29them for 25 years he's bad luck diner and what he's doing now with this job search and firing tibbs

04:35is the most embarrassing thing i think i've ever seen in pro basketball i don't disagree i mean that

04:42the arrogance the delusional aspect of dolan in his front office to think we you can go poach

04:49ime udoka on what planet bro and it's just this litany of big time coaches that they want you can

04:56want them all you want look uh shout out to my guy metal world peace he's been really chirping on

05:01twitter about being the guy right and i love meta and so i want to i want to dap him up here but

05:06in in all honesty and realisticness michael malone duh he's got ties to the organization he's a new yorker

05:14and and i love him and he's a badass who does not care about the feelings of his players which i like

05:20that means it's old school and and get with it or get out okay email is doing that in houston and

05:25everybody loves it so michael malone's the guy for the knicks so why don't and respectfully i have

05:30about 50 seconds why don't they just get it over with and give him the gig he's got a ring

05:35and oh what he yells at players and swears at players so did tibbs what's the problem here i swear

05:42all day i think me too uh scotty i think johnny bryant's gonna get this job and i think that's

05:48what's jamming it up they've been grooming him so i think johnny bryant's gonna get this job

05:52oh my god coach young told me johnny bryant was getting the job he was already on the knicks and

05:58ran out the door to go with kenny and then they're gonna let him the backstabber come back and coach

06:03him i have seen it all i'm glad you like john mayor with the dead i thought it was really cool

06:09don't tell anyone i shroomed at that show mafia don't talk about that on the air don't talk about
