00:00Coach, I asked you, I felt like the rope-a-dope is alive and well, getting MRIs, I don't know if

00:06I'm going to play, and sure enough, he goes out there and plays, and when he does, we talked about

00:13him yesterday as well, Obi Toppin is now your leading scorer for the Pacers, you know, in that

00:19game with 20 points bombing away, Nembhard had a huge game, so all the role players that we thought

00:26whether Halliburton played or didn't play would have to show up, they showed up in a big

00:30way, including Siakam, and nobody's talking about him again with a double-double.

00:35Yeah, Siakam was absolutely fantastic, and let me tell you something, I mean, I don't know

00:39how loud you guys screamed, but when he put Jalen Williams on a poster at the end of the

00:43second quarter, I was like, good lord, hey, Joe, I got a lot of pride, I don't know if I

00:50would have came back after that, I remember like, yo, see you later, give me my retirement

00:54paperwork now, but to me, yes, but if you really peel back, on the road is where your

01:06non-main guys are going to struggle, right?

01:10Dort, Caruso, some of those guys struggled last night.

01:14When you're at home, Nembhard, who has not been good the last couple games, knocks down

01:18two threes early on, Obi Toppin, I mean, he had the game won, but he had not been really

01:23great shooting the ball from three, last couple of games, he goes absolutely nuclear, so to

01:29me, Joe, it was just the fact of, they did what they were supposed to do, now the question

01:36is, is now you got to go on the road, and at game seven, winner take all, and I want to

01:44say the only player that has a ring, maybe Siakam, so if someone like Pascal Siakam, you

01:54have to look at early, because he has clinched a title, he has been in that spot, maybe he's

02:00going to lose, some of these kids are going to be up really tight, so I'm thinking, honestly,

02:05we'll talk about it after the course break, maybe the unders in play, because this is going

02:09to be a dogfight come Sunday night.
