00:00Here's Rick.

00:01That's the challenge before us right now is to maintain, you know,

00:09it's got to be a killer edge to beat these guys.

00:13I mean, we're going to be an underdog in every game in this series.

00:18You know, it was ten and a half in the first two games,

00:21five and a half last night, and then tomorrow.

00:25How great is this?

00:27It's a daunting challenge.

00:30So anything less than a total grit mindset, you know,

00:35and we just don't have a chance.

00:39Anything less is uncivilized.

00:41Let me ask you this.

00:44Do you think that it bothers – because you never see that.

00:48You never see head coaches do that.

00:50Do you think it bothers Adam Silver?

00:53And it shouldn't because he's in bed with the books.

00:55Does it bother Adam Silver that Rick Carlisle is up there going,

00:58and we're ten and a half point dogs, five and a half point dogs?

01:00It shouldn't.

01:01But do you think it does?

01:03No.

01:03They're making billions off of sports books, the NBA.

01:09I mean, that guy, you could talk about bed linens if it was making them billions.

01:15You could talk about cat food if it was making them billions.

01:18Literally, this guy – do you hear him?

01:21I heard the interview the other night.

01:23He literally talked about how great Oak City and Indianapolis the markets are for basketball

01:30and how enormous it's been for the league.

01:36You're going to sit here and tell me you didn't want the New York market in the NBA finals?

01:41He's lying through his teeth.

01:42Like, no one cares about Oklahoma City at all except people that live there.

01:47No one cares about Indianapolis except people from the Hoosier State.

01:52I said, like, you've never heard anyone ever – like, listen, even the Indianapolis 500,

01:57which I've been to 13 times, it draws 300,000, 400,000 people every year to the brickyard, right?

02:03People still don't care.

02:05No one cares about that.

02:07Do you actually know someone that watches that?

02:09Like, honestly, no one watches – like, what's next?

02:15You're going to tell me?

02:16No, I know Luke watches the Coca-Cola 600.

02:20Yes, he does.

02:21I don't – he does.

02:21I don't – Luke loves NASCAR so much that he says Formula One sucks.

02:28Formula One beats NASCAR's ass, I mean, into the ground, like six feet under.

02:35I mean, the money they make in Formula One.

02:37NASCAR, you couldn't name five NASCAR drivers right now if I paid you.

02:43Honestly, you've always said it, Carver Hyde.

02:45Nobody knows them.

02:46No one cares about Oklahoma City and Indianapolis.

02:49I love Indiana.

02:51I went to IU.

02:52I went to Indiana University.

02:53But – and I know the great Hoosier State.

02:56But it's still backwardass hillbilly.

02:58I mean, it's Farmer City.

03:00They play John Cougar songs at the, at the, you know, Little Pink House.

03:21They're literally playing his songs during the commercial breaks of the Pacer games.

03:25No one listens to John Cougar anymore.

03:30Ever.

03:31Ever.

03:32They're shoving him down our throats.

03:34No one cares about Indiana or anything.

03:36Remember your boy, my Indiana home.

03:40Remember Jim Neighbors?

03:42I mean, what is next?

03:43And what is Oklahoma City?

03:46Like what is happening there that anyone gives a rat's ass about?

03:49No, no offense.

03:50I'm sure you love it there.

03:52You live there.

03:53It's the greatest place on earth.

03:55No, it isn't.
