| 0:00.0 | Here was, you were asking, I think, earlier. So the next came back from 22 down. Everything was good. What it must have sounded like in Cleveland, our radio partner, Odyssey, in Cleveland, Ken Carmen on his show this morning. You're up by 22, and it's one of the greatest choke jobs in NBA history. That's exactly what it is, and I'm not going to call it anything else. It's a monumental choke job. |
| 0:23.5 | And I think that's exactly what Barkley were saying. |
| 0:24.6 | It was a choke job. |
| 0:27.2 | That co-hosts ever get a chance to talk? |
| 0:29.1 | It sounds like our afternoon. |
| 0:35.9 | So is that the Ken Carmen show with whoever? |
| 0:37.8 | Yeah, with whoever, I suppose. |
| 0:40.2 | But that is the name on the show. Anthony Lima, I believe, is his co-host. Okay. I do believe they got into it this morning, too, a little bit as well. Cap was telling me. Oh, okay. But, yeah, they weren't happy, and they weren't happy with the coach either, and Kenny Atkinson. And here was Deuce McBride. |
| 0:52.6 | So we've heard all about the way the |
| 0:54.6 | Nick stayed in this thing, wanting to make sure that they would have an opportunity to never |
| 0:58.3 | quit on the game. McBride says it was Jose Alvarado with the support on the bench he was |
| 1:03.9 | given everybody. Honestly, I got a shout out Jose. Jose was just honest. The whole game, |
| 1:10.1 | talking to everybody, keeping us engaged, even if we ran out there. But, you know, he mainly talked to a lot of the starters, and he really just got them going. And it's interesting because Jalen Brunson obviously had the best game. He says, you know, they're down 22. There's only seven and a half minutes to go, 7.50, whatever it was. You know, perhaps we were just trying to get ready for game two. |
| 1:29.5 | No matter how that game finished, now habits translate. |
| 1:32.3 | And so they get translated to the next game. |
| 1:33.8 | So just finishing the game strong regardless of |
| 1:35.7 | whatever's going on, making sure we have the right habits. |
| 1:39.8 | So we'd be going the next game. |
| 1:41.9 | And yet there came the comeback and they wound up winning the damn thing. He says the team simply never quit. We're doing what we were just doing. And now we're not just giving up. We don't want to give up ever. And so, just having faith in each other. Now on the other side of things, here's Donovan Mitchell. He knows up 22. That is a bad loss. We got some good looks and we missed. |
| 2:03.4 | And they made some. You know, they got bounces as well. |
| 2:07.0 | But that can't happen. But it did. |
| 2:10.6 | Yes, it did. And that's one of the biggest choke jobs in playoff history. |
