0:01
game six goes to the Pacers and Indiana
0:04
is going to the NBA finals for the first
0:09
years and to me the most impressive
0:15
was the Indiana Pacers a pretty young
0:23
team seized the moment and lived up to
0:32
in this series there were two gutch
0:36
check three gutch check moments and the
0:40
Pacers took all three game
0:44
one down 12 two and a half to play the
0:48
Pacers come all the way back and nearly
0:50
win it in regulation on the Tyresese
0:52
Hallebertton three that was a two then
0:55
in overtime when maybe they could be
0:57
demoralized because it wasn't a
0:59
gamewinner take game one gut check
1:02
number one number two game two when the
1:05
Knicks knew they had to split at home
1:08
you have to get game number two the
1:10
Pacers had already gotten their road
1:12
victory were not satisfied game two the
1:16
urgency was on the Pacers and Indiana
1:19
takes game two the second gut check and
1:22
then game six at home game six at home
1:25
was the closeout game he couldn't really
1:28
let this thing go back to Madison Square
1:30
Garden without feeling a little
1:31
squeamish and not only did the Pacers
1:34
win game six but one in a flourish and
1:38
that was a break your neck kind of
1:40
performance from everybody on the Pacers
1:42
gut check three for an Indiana team that
1:46
had been to the Eastern Conference
1:47
Finals last year but had not been to the
1:50
NBA Finals for a team that has Pascal
1:53
Seakum who has some experience but by
1:55
and large a bunch of players that are
1:58
just kind of growing together tyrese
2:01
Hallebertton Nesmith Nemhard go down the
2:05
list these guys Obi Toppin these guys
2:10
came through something together and
2:13
recognized this is the moment that's
2:16
rare and it's impressive to watch and I
2:20
thought that's really impressive from
2:23
the Pacers cuz they were ready for this
2:26
and maybe it was just about last year
2:29
but I think it was also coaching Rick
2:32
Carile as a wizard i think Tyrese
2:35
Hallebertton's desire to
2:38
be more recognized a bigger star a
2:43
villain whatever that is that's inside
2:45
of him he wanted that and it filtered
2:49
down to everybody else and then also the
2:52
experience they had together and the
2:55
style of play they had played together
2:58
long enough to where they knew one
3:00
another they were comfortable with one
3:02
another they knew what to expect and
3:05
that frantic frenetic push the pace
3:08
style of basketball can put the opponent
3:11
on its heels constantly and it did that
3:13
to the Knicks throughout the entire
3:15
series such an impressive performance by
3:17
the Pacers i thought it was fantastic
3:20
the scene last night at the fieldhouse
3:22
was awesome and Indiana's the state of
3:24
basketball so good on you that was
3:28
awesome great job by the Pacers and when
3:31
I talk about familiarity with one
3:34
another an expectation of what I know my
3:37
teammate's going to deliver that did not
3:40
exist on the other side
