00:00Well, Halliburton had 22 points and 13 dimes.
00:03Asked after the game about being a point guard and what it's like.
00:07Here he is, giving you his determination of it.
00:10I don't know.
00:11I mean, that's my position.
00:13So, I don't know.
00:14I mean, I feel like I facilitate at a high rate, just try to get guys involved,
00:18and just try to make the right play.
00:20Try to take care of the ball as much as I can and just, you know, help lead the team.
00:25That's what I think, like I've said many times, being the point guard is like being the mom.
00:29You know, your job is to take care of everybody.
00:31And, you know, just trying to do that at a high level.
00:35Listen, this guy's biggest problem is his dad.
00:39It's not his game.
00:41Yeah.
00:42Well, he doesn't have to worry about that because he's not going to be at any of the games.
00:45So, he doesn't even have to worry about pops.
00:47Although, I guarantee it caused tension between them and the family.
00:51I guarantee it there were some phone calls.
00:54I'm sure there was.
00:55I bet his dad is not happy about how he's being treated.
00:58Meanwhile, he asked for it.
01:01Shouldn't have never went on that newscast.
01:04Oh, who's he blaming now?
01:05Is he still doing TV interviews?
01:07Those aren't happening either.
01:08I don't think he's done any since.
01:10You need to go back to being an old man.
01:15Nembhard was good for the Pacers, too.
01:17He had 23.
01:18He had five threes.
01:19Mitchell did have 33 in the loss for the Cavs.
01:21Here's Rick Carlisle.
01:22Yes, we won one game, but there is a lot more work to be done.
01:26You know, we've got to stay hungry.
01:28I mean, I haven't heard many people that have gave us a chance in this series.
01:33You know, so we've got to use that as some level of motivation.
01:38No one believes in us.
01:40You know, we know what we're capable of.
01:42Game two will be exceptionally hard with, you know, them dropping game one, this building the way it is, all that kind of stuff.
01:51So we're going to have to be ready, but our mindset has got to be, you know, we've got to keep attacking.
01:58You know, could this guy be more wrong?
02:02I mean, can we just start with me, for instance?
02:04I took the Pacers from the beginning, from day one.
02:09In the playoffs, I've taken the Pacers.
02:12I said to you, before the playoffs started, they're still the most dangerous low seed of any team in the NBA.
02:23That they can go back to the Eastern Final and play the Celtics again.
02:28Because you know the Celtics are going to beat the Knicks.
02:30So it's going to be, you know, they have to finish the Cavs off.
02:34Because I can guarantee you, what smells better is Cleveland-Boston.
02:38The one against the two.
02:40I'd like to see that.
02:42But I do think the Pacers are good enough to beat the Cavaliers if they get down to business.
02:47And then they'll go to the Eastern Final.
02:49And they'll lose again.
02:51And Boston will be back in the NBA Finals playing for another banner.
02:54And that'll be that.
02:55Know that, because that's coming.
02:57But for the series now, despite winning the first game, Pacers still dogs.
03:04Now you get the Pacers at plus 188.
03:06It was four bills on Friday before the series started.
03:08And the Cavs are now minus 225 to go and win this series.
03:13And as I already told you, for tomorrow night, game two, minus nine for Cleveland, 229.5.
03:22The total, of course, we'll do more of that tomorrow on this coast-to-coast.
03:25Yeah, obviously, I think that there's some semblance of taking the Cavs tomorrow based on how desperate they're going to be to win that game and probably play on another level, sixth gear.
03:40Whereas I think the Pacers might be in fifth gear.
03:43I think the Cavaliers have to win.
03:45They cannot go down two to this team.
03:47If they lose, they will certainly lose this series.
03:52Because that team, their plan is too good to lose four or five.
03:56They are.
03:56They're too good.
03:57They're too deep.
03:58They are.
03:58They just come in waves.
04:00The guy knows how to coach.
04:01And he's got 10 great players that can play.
04:05And, you know, the Cavs have that as well.
04:08But they're already down one.
04:09Can't go down two.
04:10Can't go down two.
