I thought it was going to be a blowout yesterday.

And the Indiana Pacers hung in there and I don't want to, you know, join the narrative of every

other TV or radio show where it's, did the Pacers blow it?

Or did Boston just show up at the end?

I think the narrative really is when the lesser team blows an opportunity.

Yeah, they had an opportunity.

You might as well just say series over.

And I know that's so drastic after one game, but when you see a team like Indiana, play their ass off and somehow let that slip through their fingertips. Losing overtime. Yeah, you just got to say to yourself, much like the Lakers, be honest, not to rub it in, but when the Lakers are playing the nuggets in the first round, and the first two

games, you're like, oh, the Lakers could have had either one of those, you're thinking, well,

they're not going to win the series because when the underdog has a chance, and there's a little

pocket, that little window of opportunity, you have to pounce. They may have still lost the series, but now, in my mind, it's over, over. I mean, I hate to agree with you. It seems that way. What are your thoughts, Danny J? I think that's too drastic. I mean, I knew the Pacers were going to be close in that game. You guys got to think back to the last two series. What happened in game twos to the celtics they they had a

clunker and they're kind of known for that so yeah you can't's too early to say the pacer's are

done and done so and you know what look at the flip of it indiana blew it last night but look at game

three the nicks were up what two o in that series and they could have went up 3-0. It feels that way. It's deflating. They should have had it. They let one slip away. Like we established last week, there's no such thing as momentum in the NBA. Every game's a clean slate. So, you know, maybe they could pull game two out. We'll see. They definitely showed up more than you gave him credit for, Rich. Oh, yeah, no doubt. I just, I feel like in anything in life, it could be a fight. If the underdog has a flurry of punches and you're like, oh, my God, he may shock the world. If that heavyweight or the champion or the favorite gets out of that round, it's like,

ah, no, you let them back in.

DB, what's up, buddy?

Guys, the other side of the coin is, and I'm sure this is what Indiana and Rick Carlisle are talking about today is, hey, we showed we can win here.
