00:00All right, here's Tibbs, of course.

00:02The Knicks.

00:03John Moran's out, by the way.

00:04He's out.

00:05Game four.

00:05He's not playing.

00:06Finished.

00:07No jaw.

00:08In game number four.

00:10And that means that the Grizzlies are really finished.

00:12I thought they were finished anyway, but now they're really finished in game number four.

00:16Here's Tibbs.

00:17Very proud of his team going on the road.

00:19Very proud.

00:20Yeah, you know, it's playoff basketball.

00:22We have guys that have been in a lot of big games.

00:26We've been a good road team all year, so I think we understand what goes into what we're doing.

00:30And then, you know, we had disappointment from the loss in game two.

00:35So I thought the readiness to play was very good.

00:42Well, let's see what they do next.

00:44I mean, you know, in my opinion, if they can win that next game, they're going to go home and finish them off.

00:52So this fourth game is enormous.

00:56So they play in big games?

00:57None bigger than game four.

00:59And it is weird, before I move on from this game, because, again, at the end, you had all kinds of problems.

01:06Afterwards, you had both coaches upset at the stuff with the refs.

01:11What did you think of?

01:12Brickerstaff always upset.

01:14Brickerstaff never shuts up when it comes to the refs.

01:17But forget the play with Brunson, because we know he intentionally missed the field goal, the free throw.

01:22And we know that, you know, the Detroit people, I know it's an independent person.

01:26Sure it is.

01:27They started the clock.

01:28It was a mess up.

01:29It is what it is.

01:30What did you think of the backcourt with Brunson?

01:33Because that's what seemed to have Brickerstaff the most upset.

01:35Yeah, I don't know.

01:37Like, I was so into them just winning.

01:40Like, I'm not siding with the Pistons on anything.

01:44So, you know, I was over here just trying to get them to finish.

01:48Win the game.

01:49Get it done.

01:49They were, you know, the whole game was kind of hectic.

01:52And it was tense.

01:54It was close.

01:55It was edgy.

01:56And then the calls started getting freaky.

01:58And I just wanted them to win the game.

02:00And, you know, I thought the Pistons would win the game.

02:03I'm just glad they didn't.
