Hali is the goat & Math is the king
I have been saying this over and over and over: EVERY team in the NBA, ESPECIALLY in the East, and ESPECIALLY the teams they beat, spent the offseason trying to figure out how to play as fast as and run like the Pacers. They won't sneak up on anybody this year, and they're gonna have to figure out how to defend in transition.
Great show
Wiseman out for season with an Achilles tear. Darn it.
it "would" have been a marquee matchup if Pacers didn't lose Wiseman. It's a huge loss of epic proportions. THey are now undersized when Turner is on the bench. They'll have to play small…Jackson is hurt and he himself is only 6'9". Please tell me who the heck is going to back-up Turner?
I'd see what it takes to pry Lively from Dallas. Gonna have to overpay for someone we should have drafted initially but I'd gladly ship out Ijax and Walker maybe a 2nd if that's what it takes. Then we have insurance in case Myles walks or God forbid gets injured.
We recorded pre Wiseman injury announcement. More on that tomorrow. SUCH a bummer. Timestamps for today:

Still Shtty that my Pacers didn't move to take Kolek instead Furry… 🙄 I wanted Kolek, Jaylen Wells, Klintman, Shead, Rashad Johnson and one of Adema Bona, PJ Hall or Post. We chose none of them and instead ended up with all guy's who smh… Scheierman, Reeves, Ajay Mitchell, Tyler Smith.. Hell even Trey Alexander was a waayyy better pick for a PG over Newton and yet the Pacers select Newton lol.. Freeman and Furphy over all these guy's… smdh… gave away valuable picks for bum Pascal$$$.. which could have landed us a move up to select Kel'el Ware. Then selected Jaylon Tyson, Terrance Shannon Jr. and Tyler Kolek.. etc.. then still had next year's 1st… signed Hartenstein, OG or another SF along with De'Anthony Melton and then traded for Caruso…. but no… instead lets fk up the whole team and then wonder hmm.. what happened.. They aren't playing like themselves. 🤔 I wonder.. could it be because you gave up Bruce Brown, your best defender/slasher/point of attack defender/multifaceted postion ability. Along with Heild, your sharp shooting, ghost screen setting, solid passer, underrated cutter and the chemistry and best buddie of Hali's for nothing in return?? Then a top 10 pick stretch big, Jalen Smith who I believed was becoming the best big man defender down low and rebounder while being able to run in transition well, stays on D, always contests shots and is an over 40% shot from 3.. then Nwora who was a microwave type of thin, tall SF/SG who can get buckets from anywhere when you need him?? Obi Toppin before benched was putting up extremely high efficiency from everywhere on the court. Was a guaranteed 25+ a game with multiple rebounds and assists a game. Not to mention his huge part in what made the Pacers such a dangerous team and impossible to guard. With his constant driving to the rim. Which was a guaranteed 75% conversation rate and most were dunks so 100%… Then Walker gets left out all season with 0 playing time to play old az$ Pascal. Then our one other true rising Star who can get buckets and slashes fearlessly to the rim became injured all season.. many guy's we could have had and been on our way to a guaranteed championship run.. instead we regressed like crazy and fkd up this entire team's players. For years to come.. Luckily we have Mathurin. Hopefully he can elevate us enough. I was happy with that selection. I was hoping Keegan Murray would slip, but was happy with Ben.. I wanted Cam Whitmore despite the bs talk.. because I felt he was trying to drop his draft stock on purpose.. because who'd wanna be on any of those team's that year?? Smh.. I wanted Taylor Hendricks over Jarace.. and so far Taylor hasn't played a lot.. but I like him much better.. Walker ability to pass is cool.. but he can't shoot consistently for sht and is scared to drive to the rim.. I'm over him and his bs… I'm ready for a trade between Pacers, Memphis, Heat and Jazz.
Santi Aldama is a RFA after this season and I'm sure many will offer him more.. BTW
Clint Capela is an UFA next season.🤫
Enjoying the crossover shows.
Any chance we'll be a few more during the season?
No one in the “locked on” network has ever touched a ball, pure paper talk
Tony ride with us my guy we was very disrespected this off season
Just a suggestion Tony but you do shows with other channels to preview games but I would love for you to do joint shows after the game. It would be great to see reactions from both sides.
I appreciate locked on Pacers. Tony gives his perspectives and informs his audience. I've listened to several other locked on… and the host team fandom bleeds through too much for me.
It was epic, but sadly not in the way you were thinking.
