Inside the NBA PREVIEWS Pacers vs Cavaliers GAME 2

. >> ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? >> MAN? TYRESE HALIBURTON AND THE PACERS SHOT THE LIGHTS OUT IN GAME ONE IN CLEVELAND. AND NOW AFTER THEIR FIRST LOSS OF THESE PLAYOFFS, HOW WILL DONOVAN MITCHELL AND THE CAVS RESPOND. GAME TWO IS NEXT. WE’RE GOING TO GET YOU STARTED IN CLEVELAND WITH THE PACERS AND CAVS. AND THEN IT’S THE OPENER IN MINNESOTA. WARRIORS AND TIMBERWOLVES. WELCOME BACK TO THE PLAYOFFS EVERYBODY. THANKS FOR HANGING WITH US. >> CAN I START I’M SORRY. >> HOLD UP TNT NBA TIP-OFF PRESENTED BY CARMAX. >> MY GUY MY GUY HE HAD THE ENERGY TODAY. SO I’M JUST GOING TO GIVE HIM A LITTLE EXTRA EXTRA ENERGY TODAY MAN. COME ON MAN. HE’S GOING TO BE GOOD TODAY. HE’S A LITTLE TIRED TODAY I GOTTA HELP HIM OUT. SLEEP AT NIGHT. NO HE’S HAD A ROUGH IT’S A ROUGH WEEK MAN. I CAN SEE IT. IT’S TUESDAY FOOL. WELL, WE’VE BEEN WORKING SINCE SATURDAY. NO WE HAVEN’T. YES WE HAVE. WE WORK SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY. YEAH. THIS IS LIKE THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. >> THAT SEEMED LIKE GENUINE. THAT SEEMED LIKE GENUINE CONCERN FROM. >> SO I’LL TELL YOU, YOU CAN’T HAVE LOVE IN IT. I’M JUST TRYING TO BRING LOVE TO THE ROOM. LEAVE THE BIG FELLA ALONE. I’M NOT. I’M TRYING TO HELP HIM OUT BECAUSE I HAVE LOVE FOR HIM. I GOT YOUR BACK, BROTHER. >> THERE YOU GO. I DIDN’T EXPECT US TO START THE SHOW THAT WAY, BUT WE JUST DID. HERE IS THE. HERE’S THE DOUBLEHEADER. WE’RE BRINGING YOU PACERS AND CAVS PLAY IN GAME TWO. THE OPENER FOR THE WARRIORS AND TIMBERWOLVES FROM TARGET CENTER. ALL RIGHT THE CAVS THE NUMBER ONE SEED IN THE EAST NOT ONLY LOST THE OPENER AND HOME COURT ADVANTAGE AGAINST INDIANA THEY HAD THREE KEY PIECES ON THE INJURY REPORT FOR GAME TWO DARIUS GARLAND EVAN MOBLEY, DEANDRE HUNTER ALL LISTED AS QUESTIONABLE. SO NOW A HALF HOUR BEFORE TIP, WHAT’S THE LATEST WE TURN TO A GUY WHO’S REPORTING SKILLS ARE NEVER QUESTIONABLE. JARED GREENBERG. JARED, HOW ARE YOU? WHAT’S THE LATEST DOING? >> WELL, THANK YOU. SPOKE TO DONOVAN MITCHELL THIS MORNING. AND HE TOLD ME HE’S NOT GOING TO TRY TO PLAY LIKE A SUPERHERO, BUT HE MIGHT HAVE TO GO FIND THAT CAPE. MASSIVE BLOW FOR THE TOP SEEDED CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. THEY WILL BE WITHOUT THREE KEY PIECES TONIGHT EVAN MOBLEY, DARIUS GARLAND AND DE’ANDRE HUNTER ALL OUT TONIGHT FOR GAME TWO AS THE CAVS ALREADY FACE A10 DEFICIT IN THIS BEST OF SEVEN SERIES. LET’S TAKE YOU BACK TO WHAT THE CAVALIERS FELT WAS LIKE A PHYSICAL GAME ONE. HERE’S HOW THE INJURIES TOOK PLACE EVAN MOBLEY THERE WAS NO CALL ON THIS AS MYLES TURNER GOT UNDERNEATH THE LANDING SPACE OF MOBLEY. THEN DEANDRE HUNTER GOES UP FOR THAT DUNK. 15′ BLOCK NOW JARRETT ALLEN NOT INJURED. BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE THREE PLAYS THAT THE CAVALIERS WANTED THE LEAGUE TO LOOK AT. ALLEN SAID THE FALL LOOKED WORSE THAN IT WAS. BUT AGAIN THAT WAS NOT CALLED A FOUL YESTERDAY. AS YOU GUYS AIRED ON INSIDE THE NBA, KENNY ATKINSON SAYING THAT HE FELT LIKE THE PACERS CROSSED THE LINE OF PHYSICALITY. AND IN FACT, BEFORE THE GAME TONIGHT IN HIS PREGAME MEDIA AVAILABILITY, KENNY ATKINSON DOUBLED DOWN ON THOSE COMMENTS, SAYING THAT ALL THREE PLAYS BY THE PACERS, WHILE NOT INTENTIONAL OR DIRTY, WERE EXCESSIVE IN NATURE. ATKINSON SAID WE AS A LEAGUE HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT THAT EXCESSIVE LINE IS, AND BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PLAYERS ARE PLAYING IN THE PLAYOFFS. NOW THE UPDATE ON MOBLEY. HE WAS SEEN LIMPING AT THE CAVS FACILITY EARLIER TODAY. I CAN TELL YOU THAT I’VE BEEN TOLD BY MULTIPLE SOURCES THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO PUT FULL WEIGHT ON THAT LEFT FOOT. SO HE IS STILL GOING TO BE LISTED AS DAY TO DAY AND QUESTIONABLE. THE NEXT GAME IN THIS SERIES IS TWO DAYS FROM NOW. THERE’S TWO DAYS OFF IN BETWEEN. UNSURE ABOUT DEANDRE HUNTER, WHO WENT THROUGH A SERIES OF WORKOUTS TONIGHT TO TRY TO SEE IF THAT DISLOCATED THUMB HE COULD GET GOING. BUT CLEARLY NOT CLEARED. AND DARIUS GARLAND STILL DEALING WITH THAT TOE SPRAIN THAT IS REALLY AFFECTING HIS MOBILITY AS HE’S DEALING WITH SWELLING AND PAIN. SO GUYS THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS TONIGHT. THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO SCORE AND KEEP UP WITH THE INDIANA PACERS AS THEY TRAIL IN THIS SERIES. >> FRESH INFORMATION FROM A GUY WITH A FRESH HAIRCUT. JARED GREENBERG IN CLEVELAND WHERE THE P.A. SYSTEM IS WORKING JUST FINE, BY THE WAY. WOW. CARMAX NEVER SETTLE. ALL RIGHT. I MEAN, THIS IS HUGE. IN A BEST OF SEVEN SERIES, YOU MISSED TWO STARTERS AND A KEY GUY OFF YOUR BENCH. AND YOU’RE ALREADY DOWN ONE. NOTHING IN THE SERIES. >> SHAQ I MEAN INDIANA SHOULDN’T CARE. YOU KNOW WE ALWAYS THEY ALWAYS TELL YOUNG PLAYERS IN ORDER TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT CHAMPIONSHIP MENTALITY. BUT YOU KNOW YOU KNOW THE CHAMPIONSHIP MENTALITY MEANS TO ME MEANS TO DO THE UNTHINKABLE. NOBODY EXPECTED YOU TO WIN. YOU STOLE GAME ONE. SO MY QUESTION TO THE INDIANA PACERS ARE YOU GREEDY TONIGHT OR ARE YOU GOING TO FEEL SORRY FOR THIS TEAM? OR ARE YOU GOING TO CONTINUE TO PLAY THE WAY THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY? YOU THINK YOU CAN BEAT THEM, YOU KNOW YOU CAN BEAT THEM. JUST GO OUT AND PLAY. NOBODY CARES THAT CLEVELAND IS DOWN PLAYERS. I KNOW THEY GOT A COUPLE PLAYERS. AND LISTEN THEY GOT TO STEP UP. YOU DON’T WANT TO BE DOWN ZERO TWO GOING INTO INDIANAPOLIS. SO I’M KEEPING MY EYES ON THE PACERS TONIGHT. CHAMPIONSHIP MENTALITY. ARE THEY GOING TO BEBE GREEDY. ARE THEY GOINGO DO THE UNTHINKABLE. ARE THEY GOING TO TRY TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP BECAUSE THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN. YOU KNOW NOBODY EXPECTED THEM TO WIN. THEY’RE DOWN 33323 GUYS GIVES THEM A LITTLE EASIER CHANCE TO WIN. SO NOW ARE YOU GOING TO BE GREEDY AND TAKE IT. >> CHANGES CHANGES THE TONE OF GAME TWO JUST IN A TRADITIONAL SENSE. BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES WE SEE, YOU KNOW, A TEAM GOES ON THE ROAD, STEALS GAME ONE AND THEN IT’S LIKE, OKAY, WE’RE HAPPY, THAT’S FINE. AND GAME TWO, THE HOME TEAM BLOWS THEM OUT. BUT NOW IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS, THIS IS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY. >> WELL, IT KIND OF AN OXYMORON. INDIANA PACERS BEING TOO PHYSICAL. THAT’S NOT BEEN WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN ALL YEAR. THEY’VE BEEN AN UP AND DOWN TEAM. THEY SPREAD THE FLOOR AND THEY A LOT OF FINESSE AND SKILL. BUT IF YOU’RE THE PACERS AS SHAQ SAID THE ONE THING I WOULD YOU GO INTO THE LOCKER ROOM SAY, WELL WE BEAT THOSE GUYS WITH THOSE GUYS WERE HERE. SO NOW THEY’RE NOT WE’RE GOING TO REALLY DRILL THEM. IT DOESN’T IT DOESN’T MATTER BECAUSE WE BEAT THEM. WHEN MOBLEY AND WHEN HUNTER WAS ON THE FLOOR AND WE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH DARIUS GARLAND TOE. SO WE BEAT THEM AND THEY NEED TO COME OUT. NOW WE’RE GOING TO TRY TO GO GET GREEDY. THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY. WINNING A CHAMPIONSHIP IS NOT IS ALSO ABOUT BEING HEALTHY. WE STAY HEALTHY. THEY DIDN’T. WELL I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING THIS GAME NOW EVEN MORE BECAUSE YOU’RE GOING TO SEE TWO, TWO, TWO DIFFERENT MENTALITIES. WHO ON THE CAVALIERS CAN STEP UP AND MAKE UP FOR THOSE GUYS. THAT’S GOING TO BE BECAUSE IT’S ALL HANDS ON DECK. NEXT MAN UP. NOBODY FEEL SORRY FOR HIM. SO THAT’S GOING TO BE FASCINATING. BUT ALSO PIGGYBACK ON SOME SHAQ SAID LIKE IF I’M THE PACERS I’M LIKE, THEY’RE MISSING THREE OF THEIR FIVE BEST PLAYERS. LET’S LET’S GET THIS THING WRAPPED UP. SO THEY GOT TO COME OUT WITH A KILLER INSTINCT. THIS IS GOING TO BE A VERY FASCINATING STUDY IN HUMAN BEHAVIOR. YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE ONE TEAM. WOW. YEAH. WOW. >> BECAUSE THANK YOU, DOCTOR BARKLEY. >> YOU CAN’T EVEN SPELL PLETHORA. HOW CAN YOU EVEN TALK ABOUT YOU? WE BOTH GOT ONE, RIGHT? >> STUDYING HUMAN BEHAVIOR? >> NO, BECAUSE I GOT TWO. LIKE SHAQ SAID, LIKE THE PACERS. WE GOING TO SEE IF THEY GOT KILLER MENTALITY. BUT FOR THE FOR THE CAVS IT’S LIKE COACH GOING TO BE LIKE OKAY BECAUSE PLAYERS COMPLAIN. THAT’S ONE THING I HATE ABOUT PLAYERS. ERNIE PLAYERS CAN PLAY IN ALL THE TIME ABOUT PLAYING TIME. AM I RIGHT? KENNY 100%. OKAY. OKAY. NOW YOU GOT YOUR. NOW YOU GOT YOUR CHANCE. YOU GOT YOUR. ARE YOU BEEN TALKING LIKE. WELL, I SHOULD BE PLAYING MORE NOW. COACH JERKIN ME. YEAH YEAH YEAH. COACH DON’T LIKE ME. YOU DON’T LIKE ME. SO NOW. NOW YOU GOING TO GET A CHANCE TO PROVE LIKE. OKAY. AND THIS IS GOING TO BE. I CAN’T WAIT TO WATCH THIS GAME. PASCAL SIAKAM YOU KNOW HE’S BEEN A TOUGH COVER. I WHEN I WHEN THE SEASON WHEN THE SERIES STARTED CHUCK AND SHAQ I THOUGHT HE’S UNDERRATED IN TERMS OF HIS SIZE. HE’S A SIX FOOT NINE GUY WITH A LOT OF LENGTH. SO WHEN YOU HAVE MOBLEY AND YOU HAVE JARRETT ALLEN ON THE FLOOR, HE DOES HAVE ENOUGH SIZE. BUT NOW WITHOUT MOBLEY, THEY BECOME THE BIGGER TEAM WITH MYLES TURNER AND HIM. TO ME, JARRETT ALLEN IS THE GUY AND TY JEROME. BUT JARRETT ALLEN TO ME WHO’S A STARTER WHO HE DRIVES ME A LITTLE CRAZY BECAUSE HE SHOULD BE A 2010 GUY IN MY OPINION. I THINK HE GOT SO MUCH TALENT. I THINK PROBABLY THE PROBLEM WITH HIM IS HE’S JUST TOO NICE OF A GUY. I THINK BECAUSE HE DRIVES ME CRAZY AT TIMES. HE’S JUST A REALLY NICE GUY. BUT AND ALSO ERNIE, THE KEY FOR INDIANA, THEY CAN’T BE TOO HAPPY. LIKE, YOU KEEP SHOWING THESE PROMOS, YOU SHOW THE CLEVELAND PLAYERS, THERE’S NO SMILES. IT’S ALL BUSINESS. BUT YOU SHOW INDIANA. THEY’LL LAUGH AND JOKE AND HAVE A GOOD TIME. NOW IS THE TIME TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. YOU GOT TO GET FOCUSED AND TURN IT ON RIGHT NOW. >> YOU SAW DONOVAN MITCHELL HAD 33 IN THE OPENER. ALSO TOOK 30 SHOTS. THESE WERE HIS THOUGHTS GOING INTO GAME TWO. >> IT’S GOING TO BE A SERIOUS I TOLD Y’ALL LIKE. >> WE WEREN’T GOING 16 AND ZERO IN THE PLAYOFFS. LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING. WE WERE GOING TO LOSE AT SOME POINT. LIKE YOU KNOW IT’S JUST HOW DO WE RESPOND TO THAT. BUT YOU KNOW, IT’S KIND OF ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE MAYBE TO, TO THE AVERAGE FAN IS LIKE, OH, FREAKING OUT ALL THE CAVS LOST. WELL I MEAN IT HAPPENS. IT’S THE PLAYOFFS. AS FAR AS INTERNALLY I THINK IT’S MORE SO LIKE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE KNEW THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A TOUGH TEAM TO BEAT. AND WE JUST GOT TO BE READY AND LOCKED IN. BUT GOING TO BE READY FOR GAME TWO. >> GO AHEAD CHUCK. >> SO FOR ME IF I’M DONOVAN MITCHELL HE’S TOOK THE MOST SHOTS HE’S TAKEN IN ANY GAME THIS YEAR. HE TOOK TOO MANY SHOTS. IF TONIGHT IF I’M HIM I’M SAYING THAT’S NUMBER RIGHT THERE FOR ASSISTS. I GOT TO GET TEN ASSISTS BECAUSE HE CAN GET HIS SHOT ANYTIME HE WANTED. BUT MY JOB NOW HEY I’M TRYING TO GET ALLEN INVOLVED JEROME INVOLVED. EVERYBODY INVOLVED I’M TRYING TO GET DOUBLE DIGIT ASSISTS BECAUSE HE CAN SCORE OR GET A SHOT ANYTIME HE WANTS TO. BUT WHEN YOU’RE A GREAT PLAYER, PART OF YOUR YOUR SUPERPOWER IS I GOT TO GET THIS GUY INVOLVED EVERY TIME. AND THAT’S WHAT I’M GOING TO BE WATCHING. HE NEEDS TEN ASSISTS TONIGHT. >> YEAH. AND AS FAR AS THE NUMBER OF SHOTS I MEAN IS THERE A TEMPTATION I’M ASKING YOU GUYS WHEN YOU’RE MISSING 42 POINTS FROM GARLAND AND MOBLEY TONIGHT. ISN’T THERE A TEMPTATION TO SAY, WELL, IT’S GOT TO BE ME. I GOT TO GO HUGE. >> NO, BUT HE CAN GET 30, NOT TAKE 30 SHOTS. CHUCK. CHUCK MAKES THE POINT. BUT I’M GOING TO HAVE TO DISAGREE. HE HAS TO DO BOTH. YOU KNOW, FOR HIM TO GET TEN ASSISTS MEANS THE OTHER GUYS HAVE TO BE READY. BUT HE STILL HAS TO BE AGGRESSIVE BECAUSE WHEN HE’S AGGRESSIVE, IT’S GOING TO DRAW AND MAKE IT EASIER FOR THE OTHER GUYS. I DON’T WANT HIM GETTING 15 POINTS. LOOKING FOR OTHER GUYS. HE’S THE GUY YOU GOT TO SCORE. BUT I DO AGREE WITH CHUCK. YOU ALSO HAVE TO GET TEN ASSISTS. BUT THAT MEANS 3 OR 4 GUYS GOT TO BE READY AND HIT TIMELY SHOTS. >> ON THE OTHER SIDE. WHEN YOU LOOK AT INDIANA, WHEN THEY HAVE SIX GUYS WHO TOOK BETWEEN 8 AND 15 SHOTS, THE MOST ANYBODY TOOK WAS 15. SO SIAKAM AND HALIBURTON COMBINED FOR 30 SHOTS IN THE GAME WHERE MITCHELL TOOK 30. BUT THE INDIANA BALANCE IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. AND THEY JUST AND THEY SHOT SO WELL IN GAME ONE. >> THE ONE THING IF YOU PLAY WITH THE INDIANA PACERS YOU CAN PLAY SEVEN MINUTES AND GET TEN SHOTS BECAUSE THEY PLAY AT A PACE. EVERYBODY TOUCHES THE BALL. THEY SHOOT EARLY IN THE SHOT CLOCK. THEY ALLOW YOU TO PLAY OFFENSIVE BASKETBALL. TWO PASSES SHOT. THEY’RE NOT THEY’RE NOT WAITING. SO YOU CAN COME OFF THE BENCH AND GET A PLETHORA OF SHOTS. HEY THERE’S THAT WORD AGAIN PLETHORA. SO YOU CAN AND SO THAT THAT WOULD MAKE SOME DIFFERENT. BUT ERNIE I’M GOING TO GO BACK TO WHAT YOU WERE SAYING WITH CLEVELAND AS WELL, BECAUSE BEING AN A GUY WHO IS WHAT YOU WOULD CALL THE OTHER PART, A LOT OF GUYS, THEY PASS THE BALL IN SCORING OPPORTUNITIES BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT USED TO TAKING THAT MANY SHOTS. SO NOT ONLY ARE THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS, THE GUYS WHO ARE NOW STEPPING INTO A NEW ROLE, THEY HAVE TO BE PREPARED FOR THE ROLE. MEANING THIS IS A CATCH AND SWING. NORMALLY WITH GORDON ON THE FLOOR AND MOBLEY TONIGHT, THIS IS NOT A CATCH AND SWING. THIS IS A CATCH AND ATTACK. AND SO IF YOU’RE NOT IN THAT MINDSET AS A OTHER THEN YOU WILL BE STILL TAKE ONLY FOUR SHOTS. DONOVAN MITCHELL WON’T HAVE TEN ASSISTS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR MENTALITY. IT’S NOT SHAQ CHANGING HIS OR DONOVAN DONOVAN MITCHELL OR OR CHUCK. IT’S YOU CATCHING SAYING THIS IS NOT A SWING PASS. THIS IS AN ATTACK MODE. AND THAT’S HOW HE GETS ASSISTS. YEAH BUT HE BUT HE ALSO GOT TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE IF YOU A ROLE PLAYER YOU’RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO GET YOUR SHOT ANY TIME YOU WANT IT. YOU NEED OTHER PEOPLE TO HELP YOU GET YOUR SHOT. SO THEY HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH THAT. THAT’S WHY I THINK DONOVAN IS IMPORTANT. LIKE, SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO MAKE A MOVE TO GET OTHER GUYS SHOTS. THIS GUY MAX STRUS GOT TO SHOOT THAT THING TONIGHT. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. >> CAVS WERE INCLUDING THE PLAYOFFS 36 AND SEVEN AT HOME BEFORE THEY LOST GAME ONE OF THIS SERIES. THEY HAVEN’T LOST CONSECUTIVE HOME GAMES ALL YEAR. AND IF AND IF THEY DO TONIGHT THEY WERE IN AN ZERO TWO HOLE AGAINST THE PACERS. IT’S GOING TO BE INTERESTING. WATCH. IT’S GOING TO BE A FASCINATING LOOK INTO WHAT CHARLES FASCINATING OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR OR SOMETHING OKAY TV COMMERCIAL ABOUT CHUCK TAKING A WEIGHT LOSS DRUG TO LOSE 65 POUNDS FOLLOWED BY A COMMERCIAL FOR POPEYE’S CHICKEN. >> THE POPEYE’S I DO RO RO RO. >> DUALITY OF MAN. >> POPEYE’S BROTHER. >> AND A FASCINATING LOOK AT HUMAN BEHAVIO
