00:00And there was like, I guess it was like 45 seconds left in the game camp.

00:17So Indiana had a couple of opportunities.

00:20They even got a stop.

00:21They just they ran out of time.

00:22They couldn't get any quality shots.

00:23And here's what was kind of surprising to me, Cam, in this whole series of these four

00:28games.

00:29I thought the biggest advantage Indiana had in this series was coaching.

00:35I thought that Rick Carlisle over Missoula was a major advantage that Indiana would,

00:42if games were close late, we're going to be able to exploit.

00:45And guess what, Cam, couldn't have been further from the truth.

00:48I mean, not even close.

00:50I was on that assessment because I thought Carlisle did an awful job in all three of

00:55these melt games that they had in this series, whether it was game one, did an awful job

00:59not moving the ball up.

01:01They had no play.

01:02They knocked the ball out.

01:03They lost.

01:04You had game three where he didn't call the timeout with Nebhard running up the court

01:08with seconds ticking off.

01:10I thought Carlisle was awful, Cam, in the final minute, two minutes of these games.

01:14And that was part, a big part of the reason why Indiana lost.

01:17Astute observation, Carver.

01:18You're absolutely right.

01:19And you think he'd outdo Missoula with Carlisle's experience, but they had no plays coming out

01:23of timeouts.

01:25That's the problem.

01:26That's the sign.

01:27When you do this stuff, why even call a timeout if your play's going to suck?

01:30They're all discombobulated.

01:31It was brutal, but great call by you.

01:33Boston got it done.

01:34And Indiana really threw away opportunities in this series.

01:37It should have been a lot damn closer than it was, but that's life.

01:40Boston moves on and we'll see, man, whoever they, hey, if they meet Dallas in the West,

01:44I think the Boston Celtics, you beat all these lesser lights in the East.

01:48You got to deal with a real team in the West.

01:50So we'll see what happens, buddy.

01:54We'll see what happens.
