00:00Let's hear from Tyrese Halliburton.

00:01Of course, he looked, honestly, in my eyes, pretty good

00:04considering all the stuff we heard for 48 hours about how injured he was.

00:09He's excited for game number seven.

00:11It's exciting, man.

00:12It's so, so exciting.

00:14As a basketball fan, there's nothing like a game seven.

00:18There's nothing like a game seven in the NBA Finals.

00:20Dreamed of being in this situation my whole life, you know,

00:24so to be here is really exciting, really exciting for me and our group.

00:28And, you know, like I said, what's happened in the past doesn't matter.

00:32What happened today doesn't matter.

00:34You know, it's all about one game, you know, and approaching that the right way.

00:37So everybody's got to take care of their bodies, good couple film sessions,

00:42you know, good preparation, you know, to get ready for that

00:45and let the cards fall where they may.

00:47You know, it's already written.

00:48You know, we've worked our tails off to get here.

00:51And, you know, just got to trust the work that we've put in.

00:54And, yeah, man, I wouldn't want to go to battle with any other guys.

00:56So I'm really excited about it.

00:59Well, let's dance.

01:01I mean, like I think it's time to, you know, really get over all the talk

01:06and just get it on.

01:08Like there's nothing else to say.

01:09That's why I was joking about the dude's haircut

01:11because we can make fun of my hair easily.

01:15And Carver High got cleaned up nice and tight this week.

01:18He looks fantastic.

01:18But I don't want to talk about this anymore.

01:21The, you know, who's going to win?

01:23Like it's just gotten so stale.

01:26And I think it's because the NBA spreads this out so much that they dragged it

01:30into this like it's boredom now listening to these guys tell you what's going to

01:34happen in the next game.

01:36There's only one more game.

01:37Let's let's just get it on.

01:38Uh, I am thankful that at least it's, uh, it's this weekend.

01:44Like when we come back on Monday, it's over.

01:45I mean, we don't have, it doesn't get dragged out any further.

01:49The draft and summer league.

01:50I mean, the drafts around one of the drafts Wednesday, like it's Wednesday night.

01:57It's the first round of the draft.

01:58So they're going to play game seven Sunday night.

02:02And then like 72 hours later, they're going to be, uh, announcing Cooper flag that a Mavericks

02:07getting it going.

02:08So at least they move the off season along quickly.

02:11They stretch out the playoffs for, I mean, two plus full months.

02:17I know, uh, it's just, you know, honestly, I love it.

02:23The Stanley cup and the NBA is a two month drama.

02:26It's a saga.

02:28It's a story.

02:28It's every night.

02:29And we just go through this litany of every day, the stress of these games and the bats,

02:35like the betting that we've been going through.

02:37Like I, I haven't, I don't think I've ever had a better Stanley cup finals in terms of

02:42betting.

02:43And I, I don't think I've ever had a better NBA finals in terms of betting.

02:47Hitting bets and hitting crops.

02:49So it's two months of that.

02:51And I think it's fantastic.

02:52Like if the NCAA tournament could be two months, I would take it because that's three weeks

02:59and it is like better than sex.

03:02And then you go right into this, the Stanley cup and the NBA.

03:05So I don't have a problem with it.

03:07You know, when you hit a wall is when it ends and then all you're left with basically is

03:12baseball and golf and then like tennis with Wimbledon, et cetera.

03:16And then NFL training camp to me is like picking your nose.

03:23It is torture.

03:24Like there's, you're just, you know, as we say every year, all we're doing, all we're

03:29doing in August is for the NFL is just waiting for guys to get injured.

03:32That's really all that it is, is guys getting hurt and making bad bets, preseason games and

03:40in, uh, joint practices and watching guys get hurt and all of those getting on the forklift

03:45driver, the forklift forklift driver and a preseason game like the NFL, like the game

03:51in Canton sucks too.

03:53We'll let Rick Carlisle get the last word of the weekend before we give you all the numbers

03:58at the top of the hour.

03:59Here's Rick one game.

04:01I mean, this is, this is what it's all about.

04:04I mean, this is, you know, this is what you dream about growing up.

04:08This kind of opportunity, um, it's a very difficult place to play.

04:12We know that, but, um, you know, this, this is the opportunity to play in a game like this

04:21is a great honor and a great privilege.

04:23Yeah, it's just such an honor and I'm sick and tired of hearing about it.

04:30I really am.

04:31I just want to see it happen.

04:32I said to someone today, I'm like, Sunday night, let's go.

04:37I mean, here it is.

04:38I know what I'm doing Sunday night.

04:40I'm watching a game seven and that's all that matters in sports is game seven.

04:43So, you know, it's fantastic.

04:47Let's get it on.

04:48Let's get it on.
