00:00 The Indiana coaching staff got out coached by the Boston coaching staff. Joe Muzzolo did a good job getting Sam Cassell and Charles Lee. Charles Lee just got named the head coach of Charlotte, so he'll be done after these playoffs. Got two experienced assistants on his bench.
00:21 Meanwhile, do you guys know that Lord Pierce and Jim Boylan, two experienced former head coaches, are on the bench with Rick Carlisle and they couldn't get it done.
00:34 And here's the thing, Kerr Bryant. Alright. Let's say I give you last night, which they still blew it, you know, whatever, 8-point lead.
00:41 At the very least, at the very least, this should be 2-2 going back to Boston. And you could argue, you could argue, it could be 3-1 Indiana heading back to Boston.
00:54 Because obviously, situation with game number one with not advancing the ball, right? With the fact of not fouling up three, right?
01:03 Then you go to game three and you have Nembrard bringing the ball up the floor against Juhani and all of a sudden, like, call a timeout.
01:12 Pascal Siakam's your best player. Doesn't touch the ball. So to me, I think you can look at it a couple of different ways.
01:19 Number one, number one, how much Carlisle and the staff blew it. But number two, is Boston really playing their best basketball right now?
01:30 Like are they really giving you 48 minutes of effort on both sides? See, that's my problem with Boston right now.
01:38 They take possessions. They take minutes. Carver High, they take halves.
01:43 Look at game three. They take quarter half. They take time off every game. And they're going to run into a problem.
01:50 Because if it's Dallas in the finals and it's four minutes left and five minutes left and you're down eight or ten,
01:57 Luke and Kyrie's going to dominate the ball. You're not making up eight to ten points in the last four minutes of results, guys.
02:03 Boston definitely has some work to clean up before the finals start next week.
