Finally someone who is not entertaining Tony’s imaginary season of nonsense defense come on man we are Tanking smh
My Dream is for Walker to replace Niehsmith him as a starting sf at 6’5” makes my skin crawl and btw I told you guys that Walker was a small forward 💯
Great show!
I think a lot of us felt like developing Jarace Walker this year was a top priority. I see Jarace as the player that can give this team an edge or hold us back, he's kinda pivotal.
It’s risky asking Jake his opinion on something. Not sure how you kept this under an hour.
Rick can dance with the best of 'em when he wants to.
What do you think pick wise Obi Toppin could get? Walker can be the backup PF I believe you got to draft AJ Debantsa if he’s available. I believe teams are interested in Obi for his athleticism alone gotta get what you can for him. Trade Obi and your second for a first and later second. This draft has plenty of guys who can start day 1.
Polian answered the line question a little differently. He paid the tackles but had "just guys" playing guard and relied on Howard Mudd to make it work which he did. Which is not to say that experience working together doesn't matter, but it does mean that you don't need every player to be a difference maker.
Detroit tanked for two straight seasons, San Antonio did it, Houston did it…why are the Pacers getting fined?
