This view didn't turn out very well so won't do this angle again. Hope it's not too awful! Anyways, timestamps-ish:
0:00 Pacers Big Win
1:29 Bench Three Point Barrage
6:24 Second Half Adjustments
11:26 Potter/Siakam Performances
18:58 Standings Update
23:15 Notebook & Observations
Tony I have a request – could you please block – jessehobbs2447 he is in the comment sections of all your videos harassing your viewers and saying really awful things to us.
we have a few games left STOP WINNING, we have a chance to get a number 1 pick on top of a loaded roster for next year are you kidding me do they wan to have a dynasty or not.
I like Kobe brown's willingness to pass the rock. Is he a better talent then Ben mathurin hell no but hes a way better fit for this team add that with tj McConnell, obi topin and huff who also are unselfish players the pacers will be torching the league next season that's off they bench alone. I'm not even counting the fact that they have a high chance of getting a top 5 talent from the draft.. I'm a Knicks fan, but I can't stand there roster there coach GM and most of the fellow fan base. But the pacers I like there roster from top to bottom. I rock with Rick Carlisle, and the GM has been calculating and intentional with his moves which puts the pacers in position to compete next season. The confusion is real 😂
These games lately have been more assuring we can still burn ❤️🔥 Its that collective mindset we saw so often last year.
Standings update: Tony is standing
The new presenting angle was something different! This was a real feel good game for me as a fan, haven’t been this hyped watching the pacers for a while.
I know Rick spoke on it but I was really impressed with Brown’s guarding of Jacquez Jr, not always in the perfect position but did good enough and has the size and tenacity to make a difference. Also, Nembhard’s passing is going underrated, just another regular 10 ast game for him now!
Hope potter and Kobe stay with pacers and next season…until now we have 12 players that they have contract and next season.. potter as third center maybe second sometimes will be the 13..and stay two positions..draft pick if is top 4 and brown…I predicted that cam Jones will be two way with Peter and maybe sigh and slowson…Tony East tell us more information about that in your next podcast because I don't know how is going with the contracts..
Making me hopeful for next year. Especially Nembhard coming along as a real NBA PG.
would love fewer minutes for Siakam though. When he’s on the floor that man is all effort and hustle and don’t want him hurt end of season.
The versitility of the Pacers front court and the ability to have guys that can start/come off the bench for any given situation is awesome.
I saw Kobe Brown's post game interview. I love his attitude and hope he stays with the team.
Is it just me or does TJ's 3 point process look way better? He looks a lot more willing to catch and shoot or step into 3s. Fewer of the line it up for an hour because you're not defending me.
I guess I technically never knew if Tony had legs or not. Legs confirmed.
Bring out the dancing crabs
I'm hoping for a Dallas win to lock up 5 and Utah wins to lock up 4. I'll worry about the small difference between 4 and 3 later.
Potter seems to keep having good games. He might be a nice depth piece next season, but at this rate he might be deserving of more min than he’ll get.
wait… what the fuck is this standing shit?? what lol ok
people complaining about a win here are actually stupid. i don't think they actually understand how lottery odds work…
I think I've seen maybe 2 pacers games this season but Ive watched a ton of Tony East. Great analysis! Thank you
I imagine 17 is the lucky number. Last win of the season.
Thanks Tony! Comment on 2023 drafts. Although Jarace started very slowly this year, he has started to shine and his development appears very clear this year! With Ben Sheppard, although he scores more, and plays more minutes this year, I question his development comparatively speaking. Do you think he is taking opportunties to grow in live games like he should? I find he passes the ball sometimes when I felt he should shoot, or go to the basket. Also, when he shoots from 3, do you think he is only comfortable with corner 3 RHS shots?
Great episode. Kobe definitely is a NBA player. I think he played good d on Jaquez.
If the pacers don’t get a top 2 pick may 10th is it a failure as a season?
