00:00Pacers Cavs is set the team that eliminated Giannis in Indiana and
00:06here's how I'll ask this question I'll go to you first Tom who were you more impressed with in
00:13round one Cleveland or Indiana oh that's that's I mean maybe it's Indiana I mean Cleveland boat
00:21raced Miami sure did right and and like sure did we didn't have any faith in Miami maybe they won
00:28the game but ultimately I'm not surprised the fact that Cleveland's you know dropping 100 120 points
00:34out of nowhere in three quarters and they're scoring because that's what they've been doing
00:37all season so that that's like par for the course that's what I expected from them to see the Pacers
00:42do it in a well-rounded way as I would put it when you're getting great contribution from Siakam you
00:49got some scoring from Turner at times Halliburton didn't have to do a ton of scoring the entire
00:53series he was this assist in the ball left and right and you got Nembhardt you got Nason involved
00:56Ben Matherin McConnell like they had a very very well-rounded effort and that's what they need
01:00to be Cleveland so Cleveland is something that I essentially had already written in pen
01:04permanent marker they were they were going to win that series at worst 4-1 yeah and it was going to
01:09be them scoring the lights out just because that they did that the entire season that's what they
01:12did teams they blew them out by 15 20 points when they were 15 point favorites they'd be winning by 30
01:16so I'm not impressed by Cleveland because that's the standard that they have set not to say that they
01:20didn't do a good job which they did sure so the Pacers I would say we knew they were going to win
01:25that series yeah and then how they did I thought it was just a very a very solid effort overall top
01:30to bottom I think were you more impressed by coach I I'm more impressed by Indiana because I just
01:37thought Miami flat-out quit they quit and I think that's something where you you've you probably the
01:43first one to say that the most overrated thing that I now think and regards of a basketball coach
01:48a fan is heat culture because that heat heat culture is you know Dwayne Wade in his prime
01:54getting shagged toward the back of his prime LeBron James you know obviously Dwayne Wade with
01:59with Chris Bosh Jimmy Butler who carried you guys and that's the heat culture sorry and I used to
02:05believe it like no one's business and I was appalled appalled that these guys went out and got their
02:11you're trying to curse uh butts kicked in game three the worst in game four so because of that
02:17it's automatically Indiana but Tom made a good point it's it's it's how they did it the fact that
02:25you had eight guys scoring 8.2 points per game or more they traded roles they traded whose collective
02:33responsibilities yeah Mather was always going to be the distributor but everyone had points in this
02:40series where they stepped up offensively and that's what makes this series so interesting
02:46because that's how Cleveland plays yeah they beat you by the sum of their parts and now you have
02:53the sum of their parts versus a team in Indiana that's playing the best basketball throughout the
02:59first half of the year Halliburton's playing like a top 20 player in the NBA right now and then you got
03:04the rest of these guys yeah spicy take part too you know I hate Halliburton but I'll give him his props
03:10I really hate his father but I took that story for another time but I think personally this is going
03:16to be such an intriguing series and I think I think Tom's right about what we talked about earlier
03:21I think they're being a little bit too disrespectful to Indiana I still think Cleveland wins it yeah but I
03:28think if I can find a good number of uh Indiana plus two and a half games I'll look at that I think
03:35it's 4-2 Cleveland
