@TonyREast, have you heard anything about who will have the local TV deal for next year? Saw Silver's comments regarding the 27/28 season and that the Heat, Pistons, and Bucks have found landing spots this season, but nothing on where we can hear the legendary Chris and Quinn!

@TonyREast https://t.co/G21JWK93Am After today’s pod I’m reminded of these early YouTube gems.

It will be a fitting end to this season of misery for the Pacers if the team they knocked out of the playoffs the last two years, resulting in that team unlocking a better and more complete version of themselves, sweep their way to a championship against SAS instead of OKC

@jgault13 8 different teams in 4 years.

11 different teams in 6 years.

14 in 9

Nearly half the league has made the finals in the last 9 years.

@gnavas103 Sixers should also have Dr. J and Wilt

[Michael Whitehead @Whitehead_31]

@TonyREast @C2_Cooper Two of the best in the business! Pacers fans are spoiled by the coverage and analysis you both provide!

[Michael Whitehead @Whitehead_31]

@TonyREast 19-92?

[Michael Whitehead @Whitehead_31]

@ZachLowe_NBA Pacers had a lineup in the last year that had the smallest sum of numbers you could get.

00-Mathurin
0- Haliburton
1-Toppin
2-Nembhard
3-Bryant

@bjpf_ First off, love your content. Second, I'm high on Cam. Would love him to be a Pacer next season. That said, Jalen is a 24-year-old all-star, averaging 23/10/8, and we know what he is at the NBA level. Is your expectation that Booz will far exceed the known trajectory of JJ?

@Mcbearcat7557 Fortunately, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-best odds are the same for the 1-4 spots at 52%. The only difference is how far they could fall at which point it doesn’t matter to us.

@Sam_Vecenie But he did do it in “defense” of his teammate!

[Michael Whitehead @Whitehead_31]

With 29 games left, the Pacers are sitting at 13 wins and 2nd in the inverse rankings. I wanted a little context on what win totals usually correspond to each bottom-five spot. Here’s an 82-game adjusted look at the bottom 5 records since 2005 (14-team lottery era). @TonyREast

@TonyREast Are there any contract incentives this season for Pacers players that could be affected by extreme tanking measures?

@TonyREast The Pacers will wear their G League jerseys (0-0) today at home against Utah, where the Jazz will wear their Salt Lake City Stars uniforms.

[Michael Whitehead @Whitehead_31]

@TonyREast Jarace's TS% spikes usually come from one thing at a time. Either the short range is falling, or the three's are. He hasn't really synced both yet. If he ever stacks them together for a stretch, we could really see him make another jump.

[Lev Akabas @LevAkabas]

This was an clear no call for the first 75 years of the NBA

I don't understand how we got to the point where an offensive player can lower his shoulder into a retreating defender's chest and get a foul call... the game is worse off because of it
