Mike, can you go back to the start of the show? You ratted off a couple of stats. You said 17. What were those stats? Do you have them off the top of your head again?

One thing you guys haven't said out of that. So 17-16, the Pacers also out-rebounded Oklahoma City by 17. So if you look at that, you look across and say, wait a second, how did they do this, right? They're turning over the ball 30 times in a game, 19 in the first half. They ended up with, I think, six or seven in the second half. They're not taking as many shots. Where is the offense coming from?

Well, the issue is nobody was at the rim for him to guard, right? Like, that's, I think, the issue where Dagonal's looking across and saying, okay, Myles Turner doesn't play like a traditional big. He's a post guy from, like, the elbow down. He made some big shots for that pull-up. And then he's got the pick and pop game. So you're going to have Chet basically out at the three-point line.

There's going to be no rim protector. They got Siakam, who's kind of floating everywhere else. There's no traditional big. or a guy like a Jaden McDaniels, like a guy who you can leave on an island and be like, all right, shoot threes. I don't care. Indiana has everybody that can shoot from one to five.

The same thing happened to Caruso when he had the and-one. He clearly, I don't know if it was Myles Turner, if it was Siakam, or somebody else, he clearly went into it with the shoulder, got bumped back, and then made the and-one. I'm gonna answer that question by this, Izzy. The time that the push-off became an absolute amazing move is the same time where you can do a travel with two steps.

The step through is the other thing that's ruining basketball. The step back turned into three steps. So you go back one, one.
