Inside the NBA PREVIEWS Pacers vs Cavaliers GAME 1

YOU BY CARMAX. THE WAY CAR BUYING SHOULD BE. >> HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED ON THIS DATE WAY BACK IN 1994? >> THIS THAT SAME DAY, GOLLY. COME ON. LIL. BYRON HOUSTON, YOU’RE TOO LITTLE. CHRIS GATLING, YOU’RE TOO LITTLE. C-WEBB. BLOCK THAT BLOCK. WHAT THEY GOING TO GET THIS THIS 56 PIECE PUT ON 6′. OH, COME ON, YOU TOO, LITTLE, LITTLE MAN. YOU KNOW WHAT? I THOUGHT YOU WERE TOO OLD AT THIS TIME. TOO OLD? WEIGHING YOU DOWN. >> YEAH. I’D SEEN AHMAD RASHAD ON THE PREGAME SHOW. SAID YOU WEREN’T CAPABLE OF GETTING 50. >> YEAH. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. THAT’S WHEN I. DON NELSON. I SAID, ARE YOU GOING TO DOUBLE ME? YOU BETTER DOUBLE ME, NELLY. HE SAID, I’M NOT GOING TO DOUBLE YOU. YEAH. >> HE SHOULD HAVE RETHOUGHT THAT. MEANTIME, HERE YOU GO. INDIANA, CLEVELAND, A COUPLE OF TEAMS THAT CRUISED IN THE FIRST ROUND. INDIANA IN FIVE OVER MILWAUKEE. CLEVELAND DOMINATING MIAMI. LOOK AT THAT POINT DIFFERENTIAL. OF COURSE GAME FOUR WAS DECIDED BY 55. B5. BUT IN THE OTHER THREE THE AVERAGE OF WAS 22 FOR A MARGIN. ALL RIGHT, DARIUS GARLAND SAYS JARED GREENBERG, WHO WAS WORKING THE SIDELINES IN THAT GAME FOR US. DARIUS GARLAND IS OUT FOR THE THIRD STRAIGHT PLAYOFF GAME WITH A SPRAINED LEFT BIG TOE. HE REMAINS DAY TO DAY. DON’T WE ALL? MY UNDERSTANDING ALSO IS THAT IF THIS WERE THE REGULAR SEASON, THEY’D SHUT HIM DOWN FOR A WEEK TO TWO WEEKS. BUT IT’S THE PLAYOFFS. >> HE’S BEEN A WEEK. HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN OUT? >> HE MISSED THE LAST TWO GAMES OF THE. >> I KNOW THAT’S PRETTY MUCH A WEEK THOUGH I WAS ASKING. >> BUT THEY’RE SAYING AT THIS POINT. SO TO THE POINT YOU HAVE MADE MANY TIMES IN THE PAST, DON’T MESS WITH THOSE. >> DON’T MESS WITH THEM. >> BIG TOE MAN. >> MAN, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO TOUGH IT OUT. I WAS LAID UP. HEY, YOU KNOW, I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS GAME. >> ME TOO. >> I TELL YOU WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT. I WANT TO SEE THE CAVALIERS COME OUT AND SEND A MESSAGE. WE’RE THE BEST TEAM IN THE EAST. WE EARN HOME COURT. WE WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE OUR SERIES. YOU SET THE TONE. I ALWAYS FELT LIKE THE FIRST GAME. LIKE WE NEED TO LET THIS TEAM KNOW WE’RE A BETTER TEAM AND WE’RE GOING TO LET Y’ALL HAVE IT. SO I WANT TO SEE THAT KILL THEM. WHAT THEY DID DOWN IN MIAMI WAS IMPRESSIVE, BUT NOW EVERYTHING STARTS OVER. I WANT TO SEND THE PACERS A MESSAGE. WE’RE GOING TO WIN THIS SERIES AND WE’RE STARTING TONIGHT. I CAN’T WAIT. >> THEY SHOT 44% FROM DEEP. YOU SEE THE INDIVIDUAL BREAKDOWN THERE 44% FROM DEEP. AND THAT SWEEP OF MIAMI. HOW ARE YOU SEEING. >> IT I WANT TO SEE INDIANA TRY TO STEAL GAME ONE. YOU KNOW CLEVELAND’S BEEN PLAYING GREAT. THEY HAD A COUPLE DAYS OFF. SO MAYBE YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES RUSS PLAYS A FACTOR WHEN YOU HAD THAT MANY DAYS OFF. SO YOU KNOW AS I SAID YESTERDAY, INDIANA IS THE BROTHER THAT YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP WHIPPING EVERY TIME BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT GOING TO GO AWAY. THEY KNOW THEY ARE NOT THE FAVORITE. THEY’RE GOING TO COME IN AND PLAY HARD. BUT IF YOU’RE GOING TO GET A GAME, THIS GAME IS THE ONE YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY TRY AND STEAL. >> THIS GUY. WE’RE LOOKING AT DONOVAN MITCHELL. LOOK HE’S BEEN IN THE LEAGUE. THIS IS HIS EIGHTH YEAR. HE’S BEEN TO THE PLAYOFFS EVERY YEAR. HAS NEVER BEEN TO A CONFERENCE FINAL. HOW DO YOU IMAGINE THAT DRIVES HIM. >> I MEAN IF HE PLAYS THE WAY HE’S BEEN PLAYING HE’LL DEFINITELY MAKE IT TO THE CONFERENCE FINALS AND THE FINALS. BUT HE NEEDS TO PLAY BIG. YOU KNOW, YESTERDAY WE SAW WHERE THE JOKER DIDN’T HAVE TO PLAY BIG. I WANT HIM TO PLAY BIG EVERY GAME. I DON’T KNOW WHAT HIS AVERAGE IS, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A 30 PIECE EVERY NIGHT. HE’S CAPABLE OF DOING IT. I KNOW HE’S LOOKING FOR HIS TEAMMATES AND ALL THAT, BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN YOU GOT TO HAVE A 2 OR 3 MINUTE STRETCH WHERE YOU SHOW THE PEOPLE THAT YOU ARE THE MAN IN THE LEAGUE AND ON THIS TEAM. BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, IF HE PLAYS THE WAY HE’S BEEN PLAYING, HE’LL DEFINITELY MAKE TO THE CONFERENCE FINALS AND THE FINALS AND POSSIBLY BE AN NBA CHAMPION BECAUSE HE’S PLAYING PHENOMENAL RIGHT NOW. >> OBVIOUSLY CLEVELAND’S GOT SOME SIZE. THEY GOT MOBLEY, THEY GOT ALLEN. HOW DO YOU SEE. HOW DO YOU SEE INDIANA ESPECIALLY WITH MYLES TURNER TRYING TO MAYBE GET ALLEN AWAY FROM AWAY FROM THE PAINT AND HAVE TO COME OUT AND GUARD HIM? >> WELL I WILL SAY THIS, ERNIE, IF THE GAME IS PLAYED FREE THROW LINE, THE FREE THROW LINE CLEVELAND IS GOING TO WIN, WHICH MEANS THE GAME IS AT A SLOWER PACE. BUT IF THE GAME IS PLAYED FROM BASELINE TO BASELINE, I’M LOOKING FOR INDIANA TO COME OUT WITH A WIN. SO THEY THEY’RE PUSHING THE FLOOR 94FT, UTILIZING THE WHOLE COURT AND PLAYING AT A PACE THAT WOULD HELP THEM OFFENSIVELY. BECAUSE AS MUCH AS WE LOOK AT THIS GUY JARRETT, WE LOOK AT MOBLEY, SIAKAM AND MYLES TURNER ARE PROBLEMS. THEY THEY CREATE PROBLEMS FOR DEFENSES AND THEY ARE UNDERRATED IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY CAN DO OFFENSIVELY AND DEFENSIVELY. BOTH OF THEM. SO BASELINE TO BASELINE IS FOR THE PACERS. >> GOT ABOUT 30S LEFT. >> YEAH I DON’T THINK THIS I THINK THE PACERS GOT A GOOD TEAM. BUT I THINK THE CAVS ARE THE BEST TEAM IN THE EASTERN CONFERENCE. THEY’RE THE BIGGEST TEAM IN THE EASTERN CONFERENCE. I THINK THE ADDITION OF DEANDRE HUNTER TOOK THEM TO A WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL. BUT HEY LISTEN JARED ALLEN I TELL YOU HE DRIVES ME CRAZY AT TIMES. BUT HIM AND MOBLEY ARE GOING TO BE FANTASTIC THIS SERIES. AND LISTEN GARLAND GOT TO GET HEALTHY. BUT I’M TELLING YOU THIS THIS CAVALIERS THEY’RE THE BEST TEAM IN THE EASTERN CONFERENCE. AND I FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT THEM IN THIS SERIES. >> PACERS MADE THE EASTERN CONFERENCE FINAL A YEAR AGO CLEVELAND STANDING IN THE WAY THIS TIME AROUND. THE NUMBER ONE SEED IN THE EAST.
