James praised McConaughey: You thought you could relax when you hit him, but if you don’t care about him, you will lose~

June 5th, the latest episode of James and Nash's podcast program "MindtheGame" was launched, and both sides have made a preview of the finals.

When talking about Pacers substitute guard TJ McConaughey, James said: "When Halliburton came off the court, TJ McConaughey came on the court. He didn't look so physically strong and didn't shoot threes. You thought it was time to take a break.

"What you didn't know is that TJ can also change the game. The pressure he puts on you on the offense is crazy. He will use a 'Nash-style' dribble to circle you. When you don’t care about him and think you can win points, he will give you 8-2, 9-3 or something, and you will lose points instead. The time of this connection period is very important.

"This is what Carlisle did, he didn't give the Knicks any chance to breathe. After TJ McConaughey came on the court, the pace on the court became faster. The only time for Pacers players to rest is timeouts and halftime breaks."
