00:00Now let's take a look at tonight's game, Steph.
00:01I think this is probably the last time in the NBA season that we're going to have four games on in one day.
00:07I would have to assume, especially if New York or Boston closes their series out, or even maybe Indiana tonight.
00:14So it's a lot of closeout stuff happening.
00:16Let's get to it.
00:16The first game, man, 6 o'clock start.
00:19That's going to be tough for people on the West Coast to catch this.
00:22But I guess they don't care.
00:23It's the Pacers and the Bucs, let's be honest.
00:26So Dame Lillard is out.
00:27Indiana is up to eight points.
00:29So that's telling me that Lillard's worth at least a couple of points.
00:32But maybe, Steph, it's even more than that.
00:34Are the Bucs just done?
00:36Is this it?
00:36I mean, Indiana looks just like farther.
00:38Even with Damian Lillard, Indiana looks like a way better team.
00:42I think Damian Lillard is worth that many points.
00:45But more importantly, they're going to have to play other guys who are not very good in this place.
00:49I mean, the problem with the Bucs all year has been their death.
00:52They made kind of a desperation trade towards the middle of the season, trying to get Kyle Kuzma.
00:57He's done absolutely nothing this season.
01:00Brooke Lopez, they were counting on him so heavily.
01:02He's been playing off the court at various times.
01:04He's just too slow for the Pacers.
01:06It's a bad, bad matchup for him.
01:08So yeah, unfortunately, you know, I think that the Bucs just don't have enough to compete with the Pacers who have the great speed, have the star power.
01:16They have the depth, their role players have been amazing this series, like Andrew Nembhardt.
01:20He's been, you know, one of the best bench players of the playoffs.
01:23So I do not expect the Bucs to mount any sort of comeback in this one.
