You know, it's unfortunate that I got a guy like Mike Conley, who in his whole career has got zero technical files and just cannot seem to get the proper respect from the officials that he deserves.

0:12.0

It was a very poorly officiated basketball game. Zach Randolph, the most rugged guy in the game, has zero free throws, but somehow Kawaii Leonard had 19 free throws.

0:22.0

First half, we shot 19 points, 19 shots in the paint and we had six free throws. They shot 11 times in the paint and had 23 free throws.

0:30.0

I'm not a numbers guy, but that doesn't seem to add up. Overall, 35 times we shot the ball in the paint. We had 15 free throws for the game.

0:40.0

They shot 18 times in the paint and had 32 free throws. Kawaii shot more free throws in our whole team. Explain it to me.

0:48.0

We don't get the respect that these guys deserve because Mike Conley doesn't go crazy. He asks class and he just plays the game, but I'm not going to let them treat us that way.

0:58.0

You know, I know pops got pedigree and I'm a young rookie, but they're not going to work us. That's unacceptable. I was unprofessional.

1:06.0

My guys dug in that game and earned the right to be in that game and they did not even give us a chance.

1:15.0

Take that for data.

1:20.0

Well, that was David Fizzdale after the grids suffered a 96 82 loss to the spurs. We'll get to that game in a little bit, but thought we would start you with the quarter of the day.

1:31.0

Also got to do calves, Pacers. That's where we'll begin with. Then lots of news that's a pile up as well. Close the show with that.

1:38.0

All right, so let's get started with this Cavs Pacers game. It was really a very similar game to the previous one except that Indiana wasn't quite able to get close enough down the end.

2:04.0

Cleveland continued to score really well. Indiana scored really well as also, but just not quite as well as Cleveland did.

2:11.0

And it ended up with another somewhat frustrating loss for Indiana, but it's clear to me that despite everything that Paul George is doing and Jeff Teague as well had a really nice game tonight.

2:23.0

That their defense just can't be good enough against this Cavs. He really threatened them. I don't think.

2:29.0

I thought it was interesting that in the last six minutes about that was about the line where I drew it.

2:35.0

I thought that Cleveland was taking harder shots than Indiana and it was striking because that was just not true for most of the game.

2:42.0

You know, the Cleveland was getting was getting easier shots and a moment that really stuck with me was in this. I think it was in the early second quarter.

2:50.0

Indiana scored on five consecutive trips down the floor. I think one of those was often offensive rebound.

2:56.0

And they only made up one point because Cleveland got a series of threes and and also got to the free throw line.
