| 0:00.0 | So there are a gabillion ways that we can break down game two. |
| 0:06.9 | And there are multiple ways that we can assess blame, I guess, or pinpoint the things that went wrong for Indiana last night. |
| 0:16.6 | And then there's the storyline of the officiating. |
| 0:20.1 | And I know that this is not going to be popular opinion per se, but hear me out. |
| 0:26.1 | I think the officiating was a bigger factor in game one than game two. |
| 0:31.7 | I'm not saying it wasn't that there were not glaring weaknesses or bad calls in game two, |
