You might want to take 14 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 4: an extra five or ten minutes. Some of that's starting 15 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 4: to burn off, I think as the sun comes up. 16 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 2: But that's all on the day. 17 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 4: Later on we will have Indiana Pacers basketball tonight six 18 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,959 Speaker 4: thirty airtimes seven o'clock tip as they take on the 19 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 4: Washington Whizzards. A lot of people are wondering, do we 20 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 4: need a doctor's note? 21 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: Now? 22 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: How do we verify? 23 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 4: Andy wants to know on the text line and whoa 24 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 4: whoa whoa? Who's the independent third party that determines the 25 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 4: validity or severity of Pascal's personal reasons? 26 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,639 Speaker 3: Kevin, Yeah, I do hope everything is okay with Pascal Siakam. 27 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 3: I sat in all seriousness. You know, too many times 28 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 3: I think I've seen personal on the injury board and 29 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 3: it's not something good. So I don't know. Every time 30 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 3: I see Personal, I'm a little husitant to even go 31 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 3: anywhere with that. So yeah, I hope everything's okay with him. 32 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 3: Hopefully you can rejoin the team soon and family wise 33 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 3: is good. We have seen this post All Star break 34 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 3: that you know, oftentimes the Pacers are like I would 35 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 3: say many teams let guys that play in the All 36 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 3: Star Game themselves. They set out those first couple of practices, 37 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 3: so it was over there yesterday. I didn't see Pascal Siakam, 38 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 3: for what it's worth, in practice. I don't even know 39 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 3: if I saw aaron Ne Smith, which I think he's 40 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 3: questionable with an actual lower back injury. 41 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 4: All right, So we've got that coming up later on tonight, 42 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 4: and again it'll be interesting to see when the Washington 43 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 4: Wizards take the floor, how many legit NBA players you 44 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 4: see playing there? 45 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 5: James, Yeah, we've seen a number of players get shut 46 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 5: down this season. I know Anthony Davis got shut down 47 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 5: a while back. I want to say yesterday the Dallas. 48 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 5: Mavericks said that Kyrie Irving would not come back from 49 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 5: his atl injury at the key injury last March. He's 50 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 5: gonna miss the full season, and I believe for the Kings, 51 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 5: both Zach Levine and the Monte Sabone has both got 52 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 5: season ending surgeries. I believe it was a hand for 53 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 5: Levine and a knee for Sabonis. So basically, anybody get 54 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 5: anything cleaned up, they're not playing the. 55 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 3: Rest of the way. 56 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 5: So we'll see how that impacts the rest of the 57 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 5: standings as we get down to the wire here. When 58 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 5: it comes to the chances of getting the number one pick, 59 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 5: and for the Pacers' purposes trying to get a top 60 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 5: four pick. 61 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 3: He guess to get you to be a priority to 62 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 3: play Vita Zubats, I think so, Jeff shaking his head. 63 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 2: No, not immediately, not right away, like. 64 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 3: Okay, twenty seven games ago, Yeah, how many games you 65 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 3: want to see him out there? 66 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 2: I think, what did you say last week ten and 67 00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: a half was the over under? 68 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 3: Do you feel like that would be beneficial to either 69 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 3: Zubats or the team to have him play in any 70 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 3: capacity here over the final two months. 71 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 4: I think if he gets if he is fully healthy 72 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 4: and there's not a problem with an ankle. First of all, 73 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 4: players do want to play. It's what they do for 74 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 4: a living. I don't know how much he plays. Maybe 75 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 4: you monitor his minutes, but I think you want to 76 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 4: keep him in the rhythm of not missing a significant 77 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 4: chunk of an entire season, don't you. 78 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you play. 79 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 5: And I go back to when the Pacers trade it 80 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 5: for Tyrese actually, and they were tanking that season towards 81 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 5: the end, and he kept playing. And so I think 82 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 5: that you get out there, get in the uniform, and 83 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 5: you try to at least give I think some tangible 84 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 5: proof to what you can bring to the team. Not 85 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 5: saying that your resume isn't what it already is. We 86 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 5: know what he'll bring, but I think getting out there 87 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 5: and at least trying to show, Okay, here's a week 88 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 5: in theorize, here's what he's already doing, and things that 89 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 5: we can build around moving forward. Now it'll look different 90 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 5: with Tyre's Halliburton, but I would play him. But to 91 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 5: Jeff's point, a lot of it are probably limited around like, Okay, 92 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 5: how many minutes are we playing you? 93 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 3: And we're not going. 94 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 5: To obviously play you too much to the point where 95 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 5: a you reinjured the ankle or reaggravate something and be 96 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 5: the elephant in the room. Is that we're trying to lose, 97 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 5: so you will not be playing, you know, forty minutes 98 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 5: to night. 99 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I found it interesting. Yesterday Rick Carlile to practice 100 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 3: was really descriptive and describing what Zubots he feels like 101 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 3: it's going to bring to the team, and you know, 102 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 3: kind of goes back to when Zubots meant the media 103 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 3: last week he mentioned like, you know, I need to 104 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 3: punish the smalls. 105 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 2: That was the. 106 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 3: Phrase that he used. Rick Carlisle echoed something very similar yesterday. 107 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 3: And it is a different type of center. That's probably 108 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: why I say it is because you know, when you're 109 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 3: playing with Miles Turner, his strengths offensively are very different 110 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 3: than Zubots's strengths, and it almost is a thing where 111 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 3: you look at it of like and to James's point, 112 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 3: he's spot on life with Tyre's Halliburton operated in offenses 113 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 3: very different than whatever your current iteration is a the Pacers, 114 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 3: but for a guy like Andrew Nemhart, for a guy 115 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,799 Speaker 3: like Aaron E. Smith, for even Siakam. For example, with Turner, 116 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 3: you got used to, oh my gosh, they have switched 117 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 3: a small guy on Miles Turner. Wow, that looks like 118 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 3: a mismatch. Oh wait, it's Miles Turner. He doesn't really 119 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 3: take advantage of that stuff. I'm probably not gonna throw 120 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 3: the ball into the post. That was kind of the 121 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 3: thinking with Turner when he got those matchups with Zubats. 122 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: That's a green light when if a small switched on 123 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 3: to him, you chuck that ball in there and you 124 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 3: let him go to work. So is there any sort 125 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 3: of again, just kind of training of like no, no, no, 126 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 3: a we know that haliburtons still in the street close, 127 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 3: but we need our other guys to get used to 128 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 3: that of like no, no, no, this needs to be part 129 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 3: of our whatever offensive repertoire, if you will. He might 130 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 3: not stretch the floor out to the corner like Turner 131 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 3: is going to do, but you know that aspect to it. 132 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 3: I am curious how much the Pacers look at the 133 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 3: final twenty seven games. Yes they want to lose, that 134 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 3: is very clear, But still do they try to sprinkle 135 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 3: in a little bit of zoobots for that aspect of it? 136 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be fascinating to watch and see how they play. 137 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 6: It. 138 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 4: Just a little bit of a refresher coming out of 139 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 4: the All Star break. In the Eastern Conference alone, there 140 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 4: are three teams vying for the bottom. As you might 141 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 4: want to say, James, you got Brooklyn at fifteen and 142 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 4: thirty eight, who the Pacers just beat. You've got Indy 143 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 4: out of then at fifteen and forty and then Washington 144 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 4: is at fourteen and thirty nine. And you look at 145 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 4: the poor teams in the West right now. Utah's eighteen 146 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 4: and thirty eight. They've got a little bit of a 147 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 4: cushion there, James, outside of the top or the bottom five. 148 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 4: Then New Orleans is fifteen and forty one. Sacramento seems 149 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 4: to be on a collision course with the worst record 150 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 4: in the league. They are just twelve and forty four. 151 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 4: They have lost ten in a row. So that sets 152 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 4: the scene for you, Kevin, you were asking about Washington 153 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,799 Speaker 4: Wizards just a moment ago, and who's playing and who's 154 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 4: doing what? 155 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: I look at their depth chart right now, what's going 156 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 2: on there? 157 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 5: Man? 158 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 3: These are the names of the Wizards players that played 159 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 3: the most minutes in their last game. Will Riley, Joy, 160 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 3: Jamir Watkins, Sharif Cooper, Kaishawn George, and Justin Champagne. 161 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 5: Doesn't ring a bell for most of them. Only no 162 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 5: Will Riley because he went. 163 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 3: To Illinois, and if Will Riley went to Iowa State, 164 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 3: you probably wouldn't know, no chance. Like I, Yes, I 165 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 3: think this is the group that we're looking at tonight. Mark, 166 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 3: do you haves audio? 167 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 7: James? 168 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 3: I think you maybe discovered this Lebron and Steve Nash right, yes, 169 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: talking about. 170 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 5: And Steve Nash talked about the addition of zubots on 171 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 5: their Mind the Game podcast and what it could mean 172 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 5: for the Pacers and Tyres Halliburton. 173 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 8: Mark, I don't know if it's like Beg like still 174 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 8: hates the Lakers because of the trade or whatever. 175 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 2: But when he plays. 176 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 8: Against us man, he's a really I mean, I mean 177 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 8: he kicks our ass man. He's gigantic. I don't think 178 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 8: people A lot of people understand how his great hands 179 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 8: around the rim, great touch. You know, obviously he worked 180 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 8: well with James. That could have been something too, because 181 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 8: James play making ability. You know, they felt like once 182 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 8: they got off James, they felt like, you know, maybe 183 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 8: they could go get something for Zoo Bag because they 184 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 8: losing the play making them James. I think it's a 185 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 8: great pickup for for for Indy, especially going into the 186 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 8: future obviously after losing Moles Turner, obviously Tim Milwaukee, two 187 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 8: different players, but I think with Tyree's coming back at 188 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 8: some point with Zoo, I think it's gonna work well. 189 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 8: I mean, Zoo works well with play making point goings 190 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 8: or play making players, and ty Reese is one of 191 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,719 Speaker 8: our best playmakers in our game. Obviously, you've seen what 192 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 8: Zoo was able to do the last couple of years 193 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 8: with James, so kudos to to Indiana bring him in there. 194 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 8: They saw his talent. He's still young, you know, relatively, 195 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 8: and things would be good, I think. I mean, I 196 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 8: think Tyree is going to love him. 197 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 9: Not the facer the Miles Turner was, but like he's 198 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 9: so good around the room, right, so he can play 199 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 9: in the role and play in the short pocket. Uh, 200 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 9: great hands around the rim, but also rebound. 201 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 8: Can rebound extra possessions, defends the rim. 202 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 9: So yeah, I'm excited for. 203 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 3: You know, it's kind of funny when you hear them 204 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 3: describe Zubots and Turner, you know from a sheer like 205 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 3: back of the basketball card. Turner six eleven two fifty 206 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 3: that's what he's listed at and Zubots is seven foot 207 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 3: two forty. That's not that different. But as we know, 208 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 3: Miles Turner really never played to that size and Zubots 209 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 3: fully placed that size. So that that is a question 210 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 3: I have for the final twenty seven games. Do you 211 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 3: feel like, because I hear it both ways, You've got 212 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 3: people on the text line saying you don't play Zubots 213 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 3: and you got people saying you playing fifteen to twenty 214 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 3: minutes a game. Is there any thought here? And Chad 215 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 3: Buchanan did say to Tony East that he feels like 216 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 3: Zubots will play here at some point. How much do 217 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 3: you view that being a necessary part. Is there any 218 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 3: sort of a hey, can you knock off any October 219 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 3: November RUSS next season? If you play Zubots a little 220 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 3: bit here this season? That might be overthinking it, but 221 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 3: that's a I think discussion point they have to have. 222 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 4: Well, I just can't wait at some point, and now 223 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 4: know we won't have it till next year.

But yeah, this is supposed 335 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 11: to be the big week for the Illinois legislature to 336 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 11: get some stuff done. 337 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 7: So we'll see what happens now. 338 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 3: I think he was speaking more towards the Indiana Yeah, 339 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 3: that legislature. 340 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 2: Have we heard any more about Iowa wanting to come 341 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 2: after the Bears. 342 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 3: No, I think that was a BS. 343 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 11: But the Hammond situation, yeah, it seems like maybe the 344 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 11: Bears are trying to really like stick it to and 345 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 11: they're like, hey, we're not kidding, like, we will make 346 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 11: a decision go to Hammond if we need to. 347 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 7: So we'll see. 348 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 2: Hammond is just a place you drive through though for 349 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 2: the most part, isn't it. 350 00:14:58,840 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 3: No, not if you're going to Bear. 351 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 11: I'm saying the casino there, James, Oh yeah, and casino 352 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 11: the Horseshoe. 353 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I have lost many dollars there. I have not, 354 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 3: but I'll take Mar's word for it. 355 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 7: There. 356 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 4: Christina and I went to that casino and we stayed 357 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 4: for like. 358 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 2: An hour, like, yeah, this is not our scene. We 359 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 2: got to go. 360 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 3: But you guys met in Vegas that should be your 361 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 3: I was going to say, yeah that that I ain't 362 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 3: really end up. 363 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 4: The Venetian in Vegas and the Horseshoe and Hammond are 364 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 4: two vastly different things. 365 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 7: My friends. 366 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 5: Oh, he just called all of us broke. No, I 367 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 5: did not there you go. I just hear a lot 368 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 5: seven five found. 369 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 4: I found that to be a little bit run down 370 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 4: when we went there, and maybe they refurbished it lately, 371 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 4: I don't know. We were talking about the Tiger Woods thing 372 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 4: yesterday though, Kevin, because he had given all of us 373 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 4: hope that he might. 374 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 2: Make an appearance at the Masters. 375 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 3: Indeed, he said that it is not a no yet 376 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 3: on the schedule here. So we're less than two months 377 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 3: away from the Masters. I can't wait, And that got 378 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 3: me tingling inside. 379 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, we're going to talk about the cults at 380 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 2: bit later on today. Joe Wright going to stop by, right. 381 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe Wright's coming up at eight thirty. Bruce Weber, 382 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 3: you said eight fifteen mark for that, so we'll probably 383 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 3: we'll probably bump the old check down up a little 384 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 3: bit earlier. In the eight o'clock hour, get to Bruce Weber. 385 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 3: You know, weird thinking about tomorrow night with Indiana Perdue 386 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 3: like in a vacuum. Indiana needs the game more like 387 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 3: Indiana I think needs one more to just kind of 388 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 3: really cement themselves in the field. But weirdly, if you 389 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 3: look at it, you would call the Perdue era in 390 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 3: the Braden Smith Fletcher Lawyer realm. They've been one of 391 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 3: the best teams in college basketball, right, yes, over the 392 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 3: last three years. I mean, you make it a national championship game, 393 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 3: You've won multiple Big Tens. I think they won a 394 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 3: Big Ten tournament title. Probably will be a Brisy this year, 395 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 3: and exactly the sea was over they went to Sweet 396 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 3: sixteen last year. Like I mean, they have been one 397 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 3: of the better whatever top five, top ten college basketball 398 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 3: teams over the last three years. You wouldn't say that 399 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 3: about Indiana at all over the last three years. But yet, 400 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 3: if Indiana somehow pulls this off tomorrow, they will have 401 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 3: had the better record than Purdue in that stretch, which 402 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 3: is just kind of odd when you think about it. Obviously, 403 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 3: the win up in Mackie was the Jalen Hood Schafino game, 404 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 3: where he went absolutely off, really one of the finer 405 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 3: individual performances we've seen in this rivalty, particularly from a 406 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 3: road player in this rivalry. So I'm just curious maybe 407 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 3: more for Braden Smith and Fletcher Lawyer, if any of that. 408 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 3: I mean again, it's it's arguably the most accomplished class 409 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 3: in Purdue history, and yet the Indiana is maybe just 410 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 3: a little stain on the resume. Sure, and you know, 411 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 3: how do they respond tomorrow night in their final game, 412 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 3: at least without a big ten tournament meeting possible between 413 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 3: these two teams? 414 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, and very quickly. 415 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 4: It seems to me with Purdue lately too, like they're 416 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 4: really struggling to defend the three and sometimes teams get hot. 417 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 4: I get that, but I don't know how great they've 418 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 4: been at defending the three and the losses that they've had. 419 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 5: No, they haven't defended the three great all year, and 420 00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 5: in my opinion, so I know, we got to. 421 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 3: Get to Bray. 422 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 5: So one more Tiger Woods question. I think this is 423 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 5: a good Oh, here we go. You know, whoever gets 424 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 5: the right answer here is here's the winner. I feel 425 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 5: like that's fair enough. Here's a little of pressure for you. 426 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 5: So Tiger has won five Masters. I want to know 427 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 5: what's the biggest time gap between Masters. 428 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 4: Victories two thousand and six, two thousand and six or 429 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 4: seven to twenty nineteen. 430 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say twelve. 431 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,959 Speaker 3: Years six two thy seven? Was Zach Johnson thirteen year 432 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,719 Speaker 3: six to thirty nineteen? Two thousand and five twenty nineteen? 433 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 3: I thought it was five and sixty one he. 434 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 2: Won and O five I thought it was six oh seven. 435 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 3: Six of the PGA tournament. Oh my gosh, you guys 436 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 3: are Masters wins are ninety guys Tiger Woods two five 437 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 3: and nineteen nineteen. 438 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 4: I think that, if I'm not mistaken, the Masters wins 439 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 4: in one or two, believe it or not, is the 440 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 4: only time he's won the same major in back to 441 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 4: back years. 442 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 3: No sounds right, he won PGAs in back to back years. 443 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 3: Do you have him in front of you, Joe Chuck, Well, 444 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 3: there there's the victory. Then okay, there you go six 445 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 3: and seven PGAs any one thousand as well? 446 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 2: So yeah, PGA, about at your feet, Kevin Bowen. 447 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 3: I'll be expecting a pedicure later. You can't win with 448 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 3: that guy, Jeff. 449 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 2: I might send him to a place, but it won't 450 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 2: be from me. 451 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 3: There you go. 452 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 2: Good job, James.

You're you're trying to fight for those seeds 478 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 6: and in the NCAA tournament, trying to battle for conference championships. 479 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 6: And you got some really really good teams in the 480 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 6: Big Ten. 481 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 3: Coaches always, we appreciate the time. And let's start right 482 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,199 Speaker 3: there with the best team in the Big Ten we 483 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 3: saw in Les Lafayette on Tuesday night. I can't recall 484 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 3: last time I've seen a team maybe this dominant, in 485 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 3: particular because the Big Ten is also so loaded, which 486 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 3: I think is adding to the impressive nature of Michigan. 487 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 3: Can you, I guess, recall a time we've seen a 488 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 3: team look like this and just their domination in some 489 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 3: of these point totals Michigan has put up. 490 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe maybe my zero five team were pretty good, 491 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 6: and but we didn't have the size they had. We 492 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 6: played small ball at that time, and if you go back, 493 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 6: we won by I don't know what our difference was 494 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 6: plus over fifteen a game. You know, we didn't have 495 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 6: They said we only trailed one time by nine points 496 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 6: or something. I heard that stat the other day. But 497 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 6: they're really, really good, There's no doubt about it. You know, 498 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 6: they got the size, they have the depth, they just 499 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 6: have toughness and that that kind of to me set 500 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 6: them a part. You go on the road and do 501 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 6: what they've done at Michigan State a Purdue just jumping 502 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 6: on people. It's really really impressive. 503 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 5: Bruce, Thank you so much for mentioning that this is 504 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 5: James Boyd Illinois alum. 505 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 3: So when you bring up five, that was my childhood 506 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 3: right there. So I get the flex on muscle's. You know, 507 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 3: when Illinois football lost Bob Million. 508 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 5: I I was feeling it for a few months and 509 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 5: now I'm from get a little swagger back here in 510 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 5: basketball season. But looking at the overall bigtown know you 511 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 5: touched on it a little bit, but how would you 512 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 5: evaluate the season that Purdue has had considering that they 513 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 5: still are in line to be you know, a three 514 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 5: year possibly even a two seed in the NCAA Tournament. 515 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 5: But they were the preseason number one, and they've kind 516 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 5: of hit some uh you know, snacks in the road. 517 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know, I I talked to Matt off 518 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 6: and on and you know, they they've lost the big games. 519 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 7: You know, you're. 520 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 6: Talking Iowa State, Illinois, the you know, the key Keaton 521 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 6: Woggler game, which is, you know, just one of those 522 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 6: special special games and it happens, and and and then 523 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 6: obviously the Michigan game. They haven't been able to compete 524 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 6: with those, you know, those big dogs U C. 525 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 9: L A. 526 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 6: I thought they at the game they probably should have won, 527 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 6: and I and they probably feel that. But it's they're 528 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 6: still good. They're a very good team. As you mentioned, 529 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 6: they're going to be a high seed. They're they're gonna 530 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 6: have a chance. Teams, I don't think people always realize 531 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 6: teams get better or they get worse during the seasons, 532 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 6: and you know, you still have time to get better. Obviously, 533 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 6: Michigan's continue to get better. You know, you see Illinois 534 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 6: last night. They had those guys pieces back to the 535 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 6: to the equation with Sakovich and Boswell back. 536 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 7: They seem to get better. 537 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 6: So, you know, I think Purdue still has time to 538 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 6: make improvement, figure some things out. You know, they they're 539 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 6: very very efficient on offense, they're very good rebounding team, 540 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 6: but their defense has to get. 541 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 7: A little bit better. 542 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 6: I think if they're going to make any type of run. 543 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,719 Speaker 4: Bruce Weber joining us here on the Payloss Lookers Hotline, 544 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 4: this morning. Let's talk about Darren Devrees' first year at Indiana. 545 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 4: Even came in literally has a brand new lineup. They're 546 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 4: hanging with teams. They got that win over Purdue a 547 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago. They've had some nice wins, they've 548 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 4: had some tough spots. How would you rate his first 549 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 4: year beginning to end so far? 550 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 7: I think he's done a really good job. 551 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 6: I had I had them early against Nebraska. Nebraska they 552 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,959 Speaker 6: had him. I think it was fifteen eighteen points. They 553 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 6: were beating them at home, and Nebraska came back. They 554 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 6: unbelievable come back and beat him. And and Nebraska's really 555 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 6: good too. You know, they might not be in that 556 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 6: elite elite up at the top of those Michigan Illinois, 557 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 6: but you know, you they've competed with Michigan, and Illinois 558 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 6: beat him once, so they're good so it. But Indiana, 559 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 6: I like what he's done. 560 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 7: You know, a total new roster. 561 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 6: He's been able to find some nice pieces. The one 562 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 6: thing they don't have, and the rest of the Big 563 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 6: ten has us you know, really good size and some 564 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 6: inside force and that's been probably the difference maker. But 565 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 6: you know, I love Wokerson they've seen them gotten tougher 566 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 6: and that's allowed them to win some of these these 567 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 6: tough games down the streets, s Trench, beating Ucla on 568 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 6: the on the road, you know, the Wisconsin game, obviously, 569 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 6: the Purdue game, and that again, that's another ingredient. I 570 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 6: don't know if people realize that toughness. It's both the 571 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 6: physical toughness and the mental toughness that makes a difference 572 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 6: between you know, advancing to that Sweet sixteen, getting to 573 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 6: that eight, and then finally to the Final four. 574 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 3: And that's the voice of Verus Weaver. He's with us 575 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 3: here on the Payloss Slickers hotline. Coach.

You you mentioned 596 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 6: Calbert Cheney Eric. You know a guy that brought to 597 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 6: my mind is Eric Anderson just consistent and and he. 598 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 2: Was there forever and got better and better. 599 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 6: And but you know, Calvert was so hard to guard 600 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 6: that whole team. You know, they they went small ball, coach, 601 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 6: and I when you know, he doesn't get credit for that, 602 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 6: I bet that. You know, they played small day year. 603 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 6: They switched everything, forced you to the sideline. 604 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 7: It was so hard to scoo. 605 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 6: They were good offensively, but they were really really good 606 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 6: defensively also. 607 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 2: So there there's a lot of oh J. 608 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 6: Edwards making a big shot again against US and beating us.

I think 671 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 6: that's what that's got to be a big key. 672 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 7: Down the stretch here. 673 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 2: Thanks coach, appreciate it. 674 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 6: Great to talk to you, guys. 675 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 4: Let's talk basketball at Pacers in their All Star break hiatus, 676 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 4: they'll be in Washington take on the Wizards. 677 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 2: They'll play the Wizards again tomorrow night. 678 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,959 Speaker 4: Both teams sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference 679 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 4: standings right now. Both teams want to make sure they 680 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 4: position themselves to have the best possible draft pick. 681 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 2: This coming year. 682 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 4: Well, already we know the PACER's been fined one hundred 683 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 4: thousand dollars for potential tanking activities and things like that, 684 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 4: and let's take a look ahead at what is termed 685 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 4: the second half of the season in the NBA. 686 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 2: For Indiana, we'll check in. 687 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 4: With our man the Fieldhouse Files Scott Agnes joins us 688 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 4: now in the Payless Liquors Hotline. 689 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 2: This is going to get creative and interesting. What do 690 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 2: you expect to see tonight, my man? 691 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, good morning guys. 692 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 2: First of all, you never know what. 693 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 13: Happens between these two teams, right, It was just several 694 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 13: years ago when I think both you know, they combined 695 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 13: for like two hundred and sixty points in Washington, but 696 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 13: nonetheless very different circumstances here, with both teams looking closer 697 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 13: to the draft lottery than any postseason competition. Of course, 698 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 13: the Pacers won their last two games going into All 699 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 13: Star Break, but I think you're gonna see a mixed 700 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 13: match of lineups. Could probably Jeff for the rest of 701 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 13: the season and in them. Yeah, creative is probably a 702 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 13: thoughtful way here. I still like to see Zoubox make 703 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 13: his PACER's debut. I think that would be important for 704 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 13: a little bit. But outside of that, between Furfy obviously 705 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 13: out and then Haliburton topping, and and now how are 706 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 13: Siakam for this game in particular. 707 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's what you'll also see. 708 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 13: Hearing we should probably highlight is it's an ample opportunity 709 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 13: now for some of the young guys, and the one 710 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 13: I'm thinking about most is Jerris Walker Scott. 711 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 3: We obviously have seen the one hundred thousand dollars fine 712 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 3: if you had to guess, and I fully acknowledge guessing 713 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 3: is probably the only thing we're doing here with how 714 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 3: much gray area the NBA has had in these punishments. 715 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 3: What do you think like punishment two and three would 716 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 3: look like? Like if the NBA deems the Pacers is whatever, 717 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 3: this is a defense one hundred thousand dollars fine. Do 718 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 3: you think it goes? Second offense is another fine? Third 719 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 3: offense is a draft pick removal? Or do you think 720 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 3: something else? 721 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 13: Yeah, so I believe it's it's like two hundred and 722 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 13: fifty thousand or five hundred thousands. The next one after three, 723 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 13: if I remember correctly, is where I'm it's kind of 724 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 13: gray area and we don't exactly know consult Lake. The 725 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 13: Utah Jazz have been fined before fourth. That's why their 726 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 13: fine was more substantial than the Pacers, whereas this is 727 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 13: the first time the Pacers had been fined for this capacity. 728 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 5: Scott, I know you mentioned there briefly that you would 729 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 5: like Zubas to make his debut with the Pacers this season. 730 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 5: Why is that because we were kind of debating that 731 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 5: earlier here on the show, like would you want to 732 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 5: see him this year? Do you just embrace the tank? 733 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 5: He's not playing with Halliburton anyway, so maybe what are 734 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 5: some of the pros and cons? 735 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 13: Yeah, and you can see it both ways, certainly, But 736 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 13: I'll stick with the pros on this front for a 737 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 13: little bit, I think one, and get certain things out 738 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 13: of the way, like playing in front of your home 739 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 13: fans for the first time, playing on the road for 740 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 13: the first time, learning what it's like with Carlisle as 741 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 13: the coach when he's shouting out plays and running a huddle. 742 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 7: When you're engaged within that. 743 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 13: But more than anything, James, I'd like to see him 744 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 13: get ample time with Siakam, with Nimhard, learn their tendencies 745 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 13: so that it's not one of those situations where you're 746 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 13: having to wait until the fall to do so. 747 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 7: And one of the similar. 748 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 13: But not exactly situations I point to with TJ McConnell 749 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 13: suffered a thumb injury several years ago could have or 750 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 13: I at the time figured Nay, he probably is not 751 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 13: going to return. What's the point here, and as such 752 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 13: a competitor that he was wanted to return, wanted to 753 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 13: be there for his team and wanted to help out 754 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 13: a little bit A little different situation there, but he 755 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 13: was like, I'm so glad I did because then, and 756 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 13: learning this from Paul George, you could make by coming 757 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 13: back for like four or five games at minimum like 758 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 13: PG did. His summer was not about Rehabit was not 759 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 13: about the newness or that. It's about, hey, let's just 760 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 13: turn the page to next season. And so that's where 761 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 13: I could see value in doing so. 762 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 4: Scott Agnes joining us from the Fieldhouse Files talk a 763 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 4: little Pacers right now. As we talked about this moment 764 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 4: ago as they get creative here down the stretch. I 765 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 4: thought it was very interesting that Carlisle said that they'll 766 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 4: manage the team as we see fit moving forward. 767 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 2: How does creativity look in this situation. 768 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 13: I think that's something they're probably trying to figure out 769 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:35,760 Speaker 13: this week certainly, and that that goes on all different fronts. 770 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 13: I enjoyed Kevin Pritchett engaging with fans on Twitter to say, hey, 771 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 13: what are your feelings? 772 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 7: What do you think about this? 773 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 13: I thought Mark Cubans raised some good points other things 774 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 13: that maybe don't necessarily. 775 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 7: I see fit with some of this. 776 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 13: But I think it's a scenario, Jeff, where you're just 777 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 13: gonna have to play guys certain certain games and then 778 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 13: play them not in the other games. And I think 779 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 13: Rick is right in that front is Hey, look, I 780 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 13: know we're part of the collective, we're NBA, and we 781 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 13: got to look out for each other, but at certain 782 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 13: times you got to be selfish and look out for 783 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 13: your team, and for this team. I forget what the 784 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 13: number is, but it's been significant what this team has 785 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 13: done in getting to the playoffs, probably something like thirty 786 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 13: one of the last four years, something significant enough, only 787 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 13: behind I think the San Antonio Spurs, and so they 788 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 13: have been the model of getting to the postseason and 789 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 13: having that. But where they want to avoid is that 790 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 13: treadmill mediocrity. And part of what that you do is 791 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 13: make some strategic decisions, especially in a small market where hey, look, 792 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 13: we all know their circumstances. This year, it's not even 793 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 13: just a top draft pick. It needs to fall within 794 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 13: one to four or ten to thirty for them to 795 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 13: keep it because of the draft considerations here and so 796 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 13: it is an imperative that they can reach that threshold. 797 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,959 Speaker 13: But then it's going to all come down to these 798 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 13: lottery numbers and the draft lottery coming up. I think 799 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 13: May tenth in Chicago. 800 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 3: I think we just got a big rock throw in 801 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,359 Speaker 3: curling Stone. Is it stone or rock? Mark Dighton look 802 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 3: at Stone? Oh man, I think we did a good 803 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 3: job there. 804 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 2: I don't know. 805 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 3: The Swiss have got one more throw. I'll keep you 806 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 3: posted here. Scott, you mentioned the Cuban aspect to it, 807 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 3: You know, Cuban for those that are not addicted to 808 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 3: Twitter like Scott and I. I mean, he was tweeting 809 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 3: a ton very long tweets. I'm always confused why they're 810 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 3: so long, but a lot of detail in just regards 811 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,919 Speaker 3: to his taking experience. You know, what do you thinks 812 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 3: the NBA should do? Et cetera, et cetera. You mentioned 813 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 3: some things you like, some things you didn't like, and 814 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 3: Kevin Pritchard engaged him a little bit there on Twitter. 815 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 3: What did you like from Cuban? What didn't you like 816 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 3: from Cuban. 817 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 13: Well, well, number one I liked, even though I'm surprised 818 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,839 Speaker 13: he did it was the transparency he was sitting there 819 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 13: staying saying, you know, hey, we tanked at this moment, 820 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 13: and we tanked here, and you know, we don't like 821 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,040 Speaker 13: doing it, but we realized this is something that we 822 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 13: had to do. And so sometimes it's just seeing it 823 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 13: behind the curtain. You know it's talked about, but to 824 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 13: actually kind of see it and be discussed and publicly 825 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,839 Speaker 13: like that, I'm guessing that's something the front office did 826 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 13: not enjoy. Kevin's trying to have one of your most 827 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 13: outspoken owners, even. 828 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 7: If he is of a minority share. 829 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 13: Right now, I think he's like twenty nine percent with 830 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:22,760 Speaker 13: the Dallas Mavericks. 831 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 7: There the challenge, the challenge in all that I find here. 832 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 13: Is it's the positive from it is the hope aspect, 833 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 13: But are there other ways you can do so without 834 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 13: minimizing your product? Because that's the number one thing that 835 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,319 Speaker 13: all these teams have to look out on is you 836 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 13: do not want to do devalue or water down the 837 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 13: product for these other strategic things. We like seeing strategic 838 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 13: in the game situations out of time out plays, how 839 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,359 Speaker 13: you handle things. It's when this new factor comes in. 840 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 13: I'm not sure anybody knows exactly how to handle this 841 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 13: and is it healthy for the league, And so that's 842 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 13: where they've got to figure something out. But here's what 843 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 13: it's also telling us kV is all these executives love 844 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,360 Speaker 13: this draft. If it's not just one two, but many 845 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 13: teams thinking this way, it says a lot about this 846 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 13: draft class. 847 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 2: Scott always good to talk to you. 848 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 4: One quick thing I'm curious, is we head down the 849 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 4: second half of the season now, or at least post 850 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 4: All Star Break at the beginning of the year, we 851 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 4: would all just said the way that Oklahoma City started 852 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 4: that it's a given they're going to repeat. 853 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,359 Speaker 2: Right, Who's the best too many NBA right now? 854 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 13: I still think it's Oklahoma City Detroit. I think they're 855 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 13: going to have some growing pains. They have been incredible 856 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 13: this season in the Eastern Conference. Certainly Boston with the 857 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 13: threat of maybe they're not threat being enticement maybe of. 858 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 7: Tatum coming back is interesting. 859 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 13: But I think all eyes have to be out West 860 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,959 Speaker 13: with OKAC number one, and it's thirst to beat because 861 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 13: they've just been so good when it matters most and 862 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 13: they and as long as they get their health right 863 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 13: shake Gil just Alexander has been injured for a handful 864 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 13: of games and that's really set them back a little bit. 865 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 10: All right, but I always get to talk to you, 866 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 10: thanks so much. As always absolutely enjoyable. He's got questions, 867 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 10: how about a game? They have got answers. They I'm 868 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 10: more of a you know, a corn hole man myself. 869 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 1: Sports music, movies, what high fashions. 870 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 3: Beat hantsl so hot right now. 871 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 2: And everything in between. You ever seen a foot with 872 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 2: four to two each time to get a glimpse into 873 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 2: the mind of Mark. 874 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 1: Dydon, Stop it, you're scaring me each time for I 875 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,720 Speaker 1: gotta know, Okay, you do punk. 876 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 3: I want a good, clean fight. Let's get it on. 877 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 11: All right, Well, let's start with the story of the day. 878 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 11: I will turn it to you guys. If the Bears 879 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 11: do in fact move to Northwest Indiana, which is just 880 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 11: an insane question in the first place, does that mean 881 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 11: the Colts themselves could move in the near future, because 882 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 11: does the NFL really want two NFL franchises in Indiana. 883 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 5: No, I'm gonna say that the Colts stay put in Indianapolis, 884 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 5: because I'm talking about legacies here, Mark, and you don't 885 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 5: want your legacy as the new owners of the team, 886 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 5: those being the three daughters of jim Irsay moving their 887 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,799 Speaker 5: franchise out of a place where they really built up 888 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 5: the economy in like downtown in Indianapolis. 889 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 4: Look, I know that the DNA of the franchise is 890 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 4: they moved here from Baltimore, So I get that. But 891 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,720 Speaker 4: one of the things I think that jim Irsay did 892 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 4: and he was committed to, was really bonding with the 893 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 4: city of Indianapolis and even the state of Indiana. I 894 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 4: think his daughters want to keep that thing going. I 895 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 4: think there's a terrific business and fan and every other 896 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,800 Speaker 4: kind of relationship going on between that team and this area. 897 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 4: I can't even fathom, even in the wake of the 898 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,760 Speaker 4: passing of jim Ersay, I can't even fathom. 899 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 2: That they wouldn't be in Indianapolis. 900 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, Mark, I'm going to understand your premise of like 901 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 3: with the NFL, well, you know, view whatever two teams India. 902 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,720 Speaker 3: I still not going to view Chicago as an Indiana team. 903 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:10,000 Speaker 11: I mean a lot to be in Indiana playing games 904 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 11: on Indiana soil. 905 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,279 Speaker 2: What are you talking? Says the Chicago native. 906 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 3: Hey, I'm just saying, you know, again, where do the 907 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 3: Jets and the Giants play? 908 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 8: Like? 909 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 5: I've established this plenty of times. 910 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 3: So I don't necessarily view like the NFL all of 911 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:23,719 Speaker 3: a sudden being like, oh my gosh, we can't have 912 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 3: two teams in Indiana. We've got to take the Colts 913 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 3: out of there now. I mean, you know, from a 914 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 3: Nursey family standpoint, there are many people have asked about, hey, well, 915 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 3: the finances with the team right now and Inheritan tax 916 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 3: and all that. So again, I don't expect anything by 917 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,480 Speaker 3: any means eminently. And you look at the Seahawks yesterday. 918 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 3: It's a very different situation. You know, Paul Allen had 919 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 3: it in his will that he wanted the Seahawks and 920 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 3: the Trailblazers to eventually sell and then take that money 921 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 3: and film topically distribute it. So that's very different than 922 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,360 Speaker 3: not to pretend that I know Jim Ursy's will, of course, 923 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 3: but I can't imagine Jim Mersey had that. Okay, let's 924 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:02,359 Speaker 3: go to some Colts talk here. 925 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 11: Some interesting articles coming off as the free agency period 926 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 11: and new league window is about to open. Bill Barnwell 927 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 11: had a just a gigantic article. I feel like you 928 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 11: need to, like probably take a nap and then read 929 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,319 Speaker 11: it again. There's so many words, and he must get 930 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 11: paid by the word. But he had one of the 931 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 11: trades he wants to see in the offseason, and it 932 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,280 Speaker 11: featured the Colts, and specifically it's figatured Michael Pittman Junior 933 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 11: going to the Carolina Panthers. So Michael Pittman and a 934 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 11: twenty twenty six to seventh round pick. In response, the 935 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 11: Colts would get wide receiver Xavier Lget and a twenty 936 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,879 Speaker 11: twenty six fifth round pick. And he said, obviously there's 937 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,359 Speaker 11: still potential for Michael Pittman Junior, but the Colts seem 938 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 11: to be focusing on signing Alex Pearsty with an extension. 939 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 11: Could that mean that the Colts could get something for 940 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 11: Michael Pittman Junior instea the outright releasing him or anything 941 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 11: like that. 942 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 3: They get a probably. 943 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,240 Speaker 11: Lesser wide receiver and Xavier Lagett, and they also recoup 944 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,279 Speaker 11: a fifth round pick. Would would be open to the 945 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 11: Colts listening to offers for Michael Pittman Junior. 946 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 947 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 5: I think that anytime you have a player that you're 948 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 5: contemplating just outright cutting and you have a chance to 949 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,720 Speaker 5: recruit some draft capital more importantly than perhaps even a player. 950 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 5: I'm not a big get guy. I don't think he 951 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 5: had a very good season in Carolina. I don't really 952 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,280 Speaker 5: think that he's all that good of a player right now. 953 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 5: But yeah, if you can take a flyer on him 954 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,759 Speaker 5: and get some draft capital, why not. But I do 955 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,760 Speaker 5: wonder if that's even a real scenario for the Colts. 956 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, to me, it's a little unrealistic to expect the 957 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:32,120 Speaker 3: team to absorb Michael Pittman Junior's cap situation and give 958 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,759 Speaker 3: you a draft back. Yeah like that. It just seems 959 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,360 Speaker 3: it seems great, but it doesn't seem like real life. 960 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,400 Speaker 3: To James's point, I do think, and I've said this 961 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,800 Speaker 3: all a long about Pittman, as much as I would 962 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 3: give the money to Pierce over Pittman, if you're debating 963 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,840 Speaker 3: those two, if you let Michael Pittman Jr. Walk for 964 00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,239 Speaker 3: whatever reason, wide receiver becomes a notable need and you 965 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,919 Speaker 3: have to do that in some way, shape or form. 966 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,560 Speaker 3: Like if ad Mitchell is stilling the roster, you could 967 00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 3: maybe say, hey, look, we feel like it's Don Mitchell's time. 968 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,279 Speaker 3: There's you know, Ashton Dolan to me, love the guy, 969 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 3: but yeah, you can't expect him play fifty sixty snaps 970 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 3: for seventeen weeks offensively, so wide receiver would become a 971 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:09,359 Speaker 3: definite need. 972 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:10,960 Speaker 2: I agree on that, but. 973 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 4: I'll also tell you to back your I've seen him 974 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 4: play in person a bunch of times. Xavier Lagette is 975 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 4: not a legitimate big time NFL wide receiver. He can't 976 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 4: catch the ball, He makes mental mistakes. He's really struggled 977 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 4: with Carolina in his first two seasons. 978 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:26,320 Speaker 7: There. 979 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,320 Speaker 4: If you want to get something back for Michael Pittman, 980 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 4: I'm all for that. 981 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,879 Speaker 2: But please don't give me Xavier Lagette. Good by the way, 982 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 2: terrific kid, but. 983 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 3: It just sucks. 984 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 4: Just can't play, just can't just can't catch. It's tough 985 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,239 Speaker 4: when you play wide receiver in the NFL. It's tough 986 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 4: when you can't catch. 987 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:43,440 Speaker 7: That is true. 988 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,879 Speaker 3: Okay, no relation to Kevin Bowen, I don't think. 989 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:50,320 Speaker 11: But Matt Bowen of ESPN had his fifty top players 990 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 11: and the best fits for. 991 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:51,879 Speaker 3: Each of them. 992 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,279 Speaker 11: At the top of the board, he had Trey Hendrickson 993 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:59,919 Speaker 11: and the best team fit, the Indianapolis Colts. He says 994 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,240 Speaker 11: Colts general manager Chris Valor can make a big splash 995 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 11: laying the top free agent on our board, and hendricks 996 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 11: will reunit with defensive coordinator lou and Roumo. 997 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:09,720 Speaker 3: Curious your thoughts. 998 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 11: Would you like to see Trey Hendrickson sign with the 999 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 11: Colts or would that go against Chris Ballard saying they 1000 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,359 Speaker 11: need to get younger and faster defensively. 1001 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, the name I've mentioned is Adapa away from the Chargers, 1002 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,719 Speaker 3: a little bit younger, not the recent injury history that 1003 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:29,360 Speaker 3: Trey Hendrickson has, So yeah, I'd be a little hesitant. Obviously, Hendrickson, 1004 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 3: when healthy, has been an extremely great pass rusher, But 1005 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,800 Speaker 3: I just worry about the age and the health, which 1006 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:37,319 Speaker 3: I feel like I said that about a lot of 1007 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:41,399 Speaker 3: Colts players. I'm good with taking a flyer on him. 1008 00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:43,240 Speaker 3: I don't want a long term deal. 1009 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:47,839 Speaker 5: But hey, one year deal, one year flyer on Trey Hendrickson, 1010 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 5: were you not able Luin Aroumo perhaps. 1011 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:51,879 Speaker 3: Feeling healthier than he was last year. 1012 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,280 Speaker 5: I'm good with it because I think realistically, you can't 1013 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,919 Speaker 5: say you want to get younger and faster, and that'd 1014 00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,840 Speaker 5: be like a hard and fast rule for how you 1015 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,680 Speaker 5: build your entire defense. You're gonna have to make some 1016 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 5: concessions in different parts of your roster. So again that's 1017 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,320 Speaker 5: where I get into the whole younger and faster versus 1018 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 5: they've been productive, versus their relationship with Juanna Romo. I 1019 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,759 Speaker 5: think that's Raskin is worth. Is somebody worth adding to 1020 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 5: your roster if you can and if it doesn't work out, hey, 1021 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 5: just one year. 1022 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:17,759 Speaker 3: Deal and is what it is. 1023 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 4: James, I'm all in on that if they could get him. 1024 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,359 Speaker 4: I don't know quite how they could make that work. 1025 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,400 Speaker 4: While they have to address some of the other needs 1026 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 4: that they have. They have to get creative, and I'm 1027 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 4: all for it. But it was very interesting when we 1028 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,839 Speaker 4: were listening to Joe Wright's about an hour ago, when 1029 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 4: he was saying, you know, he was used to blocking 1030 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,440 Speaker 4: guys that were in their mid thirties. Now they were 1031 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 4: tremendous guys, and he was talking about Robert Mathis. 1032 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:39,839 Speaker 2: And some of those guys. 1033 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,319 Speaker 4: He said, they know how to rush the passer and 1034 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,879 Speaker 4: they still had plenty of physical ability to do so 1035 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,759 Speaker 4: keep him healthy. I think Hendrickson still did. He can 1036 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,280 Speaker 4: still be a game wrecker at times. 1037 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 5: And again his salary wouldn't be as big as it's 1038 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,000 Speaker 5: been a year's past. So that's why probably Lane toward 1039 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,879 Speaker 5: at least trying to take see if he and him, 1040 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,320 Speaker 5: Bradley Chubb, somebody of that older variety perhaps joining the 1041 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 5: cult next year. 1042 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,760 Speaker 11: All right, last, but not least, what are we watching, folks? 1043 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 11: What do you got on your streaming services? What are 1044 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,799 Speaker 11: you firing up this weekend? Or what have you watched? Well, 1045 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,360 Speaker 11: Curling Kevin showing his phone, Curling. 1046 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:15,839 Speaker 3: Swift Swiss about to throw the hammer. No boy, I'm 1047 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,200 Speaker 3: gonna say a Night of the Seven Kingdoms. 1048 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:18,840 Speaker 7: Ooh. 1049 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:23,399 Speaker 5: It's a Game of Thrones world type of show, and 1050 00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,600 Speaker 5: it is fantastic. The episodes are about thirty minutes long, 1051 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 5: so it's not like a very heavy lift to watch it, 1052 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:30,920 Speaker 5: and I enjoy it. I think it's one of the 1053 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,759 Speaker 5: best shows on TV. I's not the best show on 1054 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,560 Speaker 5: TV currently, so I am all in on that show. 1055 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,000 Speaker 5: And also bring back thirty minute shows. 1056 00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 2: Mm hmm. 1057 00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:41,239 Speaker 5: Every show does not have to be an hour. I 1058 00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,399 Speaker 5: love thirty minute shows. Get a little fixed and then 1059 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:43,960 Speaker 5: off to bed. 1060 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie. 1061 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:46,320 Speaker 11: That's more intriguing to watch it because I kind of 1062 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,480 Speaker 11: got sick of House of the Dragon, because I'm like, 1063 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,600 Speaker 11: good lord, every episode is an hour long and it's 1064 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,400 Speaker 11: just a it's a hard watch and everything. 1065 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,399 Speaker 3: But I've heard good things about that. In effect, it's 1066 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,040 Speaker 3: thirty minutes. I'm gonna have to tune in. There you go. 1067 00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:58,279 Speaker 4: I'm all in on the last few days of the 1068 00:47:58,280 --> 00:47:59,799 Speaker 4: Olympics to start with.

Do I 1071 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 4: want to go watch industry? 1072 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:08,840 Speaker 3: I think James said he did not like that. 1073 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,840 Speaker 5: I finished the first season. I have not pressed start 1074 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:12,600 Speaker 5: on season two. 1075 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 2: Sami, okay, doing something else. 1076 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:16,920 Speaker 5: I mean, I'm never going to tell anybody not to 1077 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:18,279 Speaker 5: watch it. Check it out, see if you like it 1078 00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,799 Speaker 5: for yourself. But it's a wild show.

I probably would never watch it with anybody 1082 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:30,400 Speaker 5: else because, yeah. 1083 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:31,919 Speaker 2: I got to talk to my kids into watching TV. 1084 00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:33,880 Speaker 2: They don't watch These kids don't watch TV anymore.
