00:03 >> Now, DeVincenzo Joe didn't have a huge night.
00:05 Now he had that dunk that we just played, which was over Turner off of a rebound,
00:10 which is a monster dunk.
00:11 Did you see him get into it with Turner towards the end of the game?
00:15 There was some technical fouls called, some pushing and shoving.
00:19 DeVincenzo telling it like it is, Joe,
00:23 is saying that the Pacers trying to act like tough guys and they're not.
00:27 Stepping up, Donzo.
00:28 >> Particularly on Turner, what was the advantage of playing against him?
00:34 >> They're trying to be tough guys.
00:36 That's not their identity.
00:39 And there was nothing there to, I just don't, I don't agree with trying to walk
00:45 up on somebody that you, nobody's gonna fight that good.
00:49 So take the foul, keep it moving.
00:51 You're not a tough guy.
00:52 >> Take the foul and keep it moving, he said, Joe.
00:55 Take the foul and keep it moving.
00:57 Honestly, I think he's kinda right.
00:59 Like, I don't really consider the Pacers to be a tough team like that either.
01:05 So I think that Don, I think the Knicks are the tough team in this series.
01:10 And now they're up 3-2.
01:12 And as I said to you yesterday, the winner of last night was gonna be so
01:16 key, as tired as the Knicks are, Joe.
01:21 I think they'll find a way, whether it's Friday or Sunday,
01:25 to get one of these two games and move themselves forward.
01:27 >> Yeah, the Nova Knicks, right, Dante and Hart and
01:32 Brunson are all from Villanova, blue collar, right?
01:34 City of brotherly love.
01:36 We know about that, just like New York, and they outworked Indiana.
01:40 Indiana, I gotta make the college football reference, Indiana's like Texas.
01:44 They're the shiny Ferrari, until you hit them in the face,
01:46 they crumble until a thousand pieces.
01:49 And I'm talking to you, Quinn, yours, and Steve Sarkisian, okay?
01:53 It's gonna happen against Washington.
01:54 I'm calling out all the hook 'em horns.
01:56 That's it, that's what Indiana is.
01:58 And Halliburton should be at the front of the list.
02:00 He's gutless, we talked about it.
02:02 This guy, you wanna be the point card, you wanna be the face of the franchise.
02:06 You have to step up, not just at home, on the road.
02:09 And Indiana's failed to do that.
02:11 So if this game goes seven games,
02:13 you gotta have a faith in the New York Knicks to close it out.
02:16 Indiana showed you nothing to pull any of these games out in the garden.
02:20 So why should we think they're gonna do it, even if they win in Indiana in game six?
