00:03 Tell me about the Pacers heading down the stretch.
00:05 Now it looks like sort of settling in to superstars in the lineup and
00:08 what they can do.
00:09 They sit at 33 and 25.
00:11 Look, we know it's the Milwaukee Bucks.
00:13 We know it's the Boston Celtics.
00:15 There's a handful of teams out there in the east that might be able to do
00:18 damage.
00:18 Could it be the Pacers and that tempo coach doing some damage in the playoffs?
00:22 Well, you bring up an interesting point Donnie in regards to tempo, right?
00:27 Particularly in the playoffs, the game slowed down, right?
00:31 To become more of a half court game.
00:33 I'm gonna tell you this.
00:34 If Miles Turner can go out and give you 33, eight rebounds every night,
00:39 I don't think it's gonna matter if it's slow or fast.
00:42 Because that guy is an absolute monster and then he becomes that third guy.
00:47 And a guy that can do a lot of things.
00:49 I know he's got a two of a sudden from three, but also stretch the floor.
00:53 And what that does is it allows Siakam and it allows Halliburton,
00:57 allows a number.
00:58 It gives those guys driving lanes.
01:00 Driving lanes to get to the cup and to create for other people around them.
01:05 What a job Rick Carlisle has done with this team.
01:08 Right now I think they are firmly in the sixth spot.
01:11 Well, they're tied with Miami.
01:12 But listen, they're only a game behind Philadelphia.
01:16 They're sliding until they get JoJo back.
01:18 The next you never know.
01:19 I mean, we can talk about Indiana folks maybe getting themselves up to a four seed.
01:24 That is not a possibility.
