00:00Pacers aren't going to beat these guys playing half-court basketball, right?

00:03They need to, like, play sort of, you know, faster.

00:06And you can't really, I can't even say you need to play, like, chaotic.

00:11You know what I mean?

00:11Like, if you play chaotic against Oklahoma City, it's a dangerous way to play.

00:15Like, Oklahoma City, they're a good streetball team.

00:18And they're going to come up with more turnovers and more stops and chaos as well.

00:22But you have to be aggressive against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

00:26You know what I mean?

00:27Take it to the rack.

00:28Don't settle for bad shots.

00:29Be aggressive.

00:31And Halliburton did an interview before the game.

00:33I wasn't really overly in love with his comments in which he said that the Oklahoma City Thunder defense

00:39are the best defense that he's ever seen in his life.

00:42He said, I've never played against a defense this good before.

00:45And he said, you know, they're very long and they're active in the paint.

00:48And they're always, like, you know, swatting at the ball.

00:51And he said, they seem like they're there even when they aren't there.

00:55And I couldn't help but think of, like, I'm seeing ghosts with Sam Darnold.

00:58And Halliburton's hitting shots and stuff.

01:01But you can see he's a little bit freaked out when he goes into the paint a little bit.

01:05Against, like, you know, the Knicks, against the Cavs, against everybody, he was super aggressive.

01:08I'm going to take it to the rack.

01:09Whatever happens, happens.

01:11Against Oklahoma City, he's not so sure about it.
