1:57
[SPEAKER_02]: We start our recap of what's happened in the last 24 hours in the NBA with the tread deadline, which is just a couple hours away.
2:07
[SPEAKER_02]: The last 24 hours or so it's been quiet around the Pacers, but
2:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, I'm not sure that we've ever seen a trade coming when the paces are involved when Kevin Perture is their general manager.
2:19
[SPEAKER_02]: There is a rumor from Jake Fisher of the Bleacher Report that the paces are the front runner for Clippers Bigman, Ivaca Zupats.
2:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Alex Golden is reporting that there may be interest in Yaka Pertle.
2:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Things could go down at any moment.
2:35
[SPEAKER_02]: If the paces make a move, we will have a reaction podcast.
2:39
[SPEAKER_02]: After a quick start to the Trade Deadline season, it's been very quiet the last 24 hours.
2:44
[SPEAKER_02]: The biggest one is Ayu Desomo has gone from the bulls to the timber walls and exchange for Robert Dillingham.
2:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Four players from Indiana have new homes, Jaren Jackson Jr. is now in Utah, Mike Connelly Jr. in Charlotte.
2:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Jade Nivey is now at the bulls, and Darius Garland, who's originally from Gary, is now with the Clippers after being traded for former MVP James Hardham.
3:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Even with all of the boom players up with the big program, just the night before, Noblesville won its sixth-stray game on Wednesday, 129 to 117 over G-Leading, Oceola, and Florida.
3:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Ethan Thompson and Gave McLaughlin combined for 56 points off of the bench, and the boom are now just two games behind first place despite a four and six start to the season.
3:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Noblesville and Oceola will do it again on Friday.
3:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Tip is scheduled for 7 o'clock, then two games in Long Island before the boom finally return home a week from Saturday to face college park before the all-star break.
3:48
[SPEAKER_02]: The game against college park is the first of four straight at the arena at innovation mile.
3:54
[SPEAKER_02]: And here's my friend, Aaron Pittman to discuss all of it.
3:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Aaron after Wednesday night it would be hard to argue that the boom are not the best team in the jelly right now.
4:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely seven wins in a row for the the noblesville boom started off a little slow as we we talked from our last time with just a number of injuries that the Pacers had we had guys playing up
4:20
[SPEAKER_01]: into the NBA has matter of fact we even had some of the glee guys in the starting lineup on a regular basis.
4:26
[SPEAKER_01]: And now those guys, the two way players, they're playing regular minutes for the boom and they're often running.
4:33
[SPEAKER_01]: They had had a very favorable schedule at home.
4:36
[SPEAKER_01]: The last night they went and proved themselves in Oceola, Florida by beating the top team in the eastern conference by double digits.
4:44
[SPEAKER_01]: And now the nobody wants to play Noblesville and that's a that's a great thing for the city of Indianapolis in the state of Indiana I don't know if I've ever seen a game where where two players scored at at least 25 points off the bench before crazy Yeah, absolutely well and one thing that Coach Hankens has been doing he's been twing with the lineup Some throughout the year giving these two-way guys that are playing a lot of minutes between the Pacers and the boom
5:13
[SPEAKER_01]: some time to rest and bring them up off the bench.
5:16
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe they're not playing as many minutes but they're still contributing in a big way.
5:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Ethan Thompson, Taylor and Peter, they're coming off the bench and they're the top players.
5:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean Ethan Thompson is in the G league next up all story game for a reason.
5:30
[SPEAKER_01]: He's one of the elite players in the G league.
5:33
[SPEAKER_01]: And he nearly had a triple double last night off the bench.
5:37
[SPEAKER_01]: He had 31, 10 and 8 coming off the bench.
5:40
[SPEAKER_01]: So again, these guys are cruising and they're playing very strong basketball right now.
5:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I, if you're a team in the G league in the Eastern Conference and you've got the boom coming up on your schedule, I would definitely be losing sleep over prepping for these guys.
5:57
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the plan was for Quentin Jackson to be the best player on this team and he hasn't even been playing because he's playing
6:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, absolutely.
6:04
[SPEAKER_01]: And really good for Quentin Jackson.
6:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I honestly, in my opinion, I think he's earned a permanent contract with with the Pacers.
6:14
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, but you know, at the same point in time, we'll see what happens when the Pacers are fully healthy going in the next year.
6:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Whether or not he can fit into that 14 man rotation that they typically, uh,
6:27
[SPEAKER_01]: carry on a regular game in regular game set for scenarios.
6:31
[SPEAKER_01]: But I really do believe that Quint Jackson is a is a future contributor on a regular basis with the Pacers and not in the G League.
6:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, chance to get within one game of first place in the East after starting 4 and 6 on the year, that's a pretty insane.
6:47
[SPEAKER_02]: And then finally return home next Saturday after a long trip away, the fans are going to be excited to see this team at home, aren't they?
6:55
[SPEAKER_01]: absolutely I mean and and as I mentioned to you the last time we spoke the the home schedule the remainder of the way is extremely favorable they're playing teams that are down at the bottom of the standings you know such as the college park skyhawks and the the capital city go go these are teams that are not very strong because
7:16
[SPEAKER_01]: their NBA teams aren't very strong.
7:18
[SPEAKER_01]: It's translating into just not having a very deep roster.
7:22
[SPEAKER_01]: So certainly winnable games for the boom coming up.
7:26
[SPEAKER_01]: There are some some big time games coming up as well.
7:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, another game with OCO on Friday night in Kassimi.
7:33
[SPEAKER_01]: They're in Florida.
7:34
[SPEAKER_01]: So certainly an opportunity for the boom to get a little bit closer.
7:38
[SPEAKER_01]: You know going into these road games sometimes hard to go for a sweep.
7:42
[SPEAKER_01]: You often look for a split with those teams But certainly an opportunity for the boom to just inch even closer toward the the top spot in the In the lead, but certainly I think that the big thing right now for the boom would be
7:57
[SPEAKER_01]: not only get into playoffs, but potentially look at hosting a first round or even the second round playoff game.
8:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it sounds crazy that you say, you know, it's championship aspirations, however, this team was in the playoffs last year, one of first round game and then fell to Oceola in the next round, but this team is deeper, they're faster, they're hitting shots, playing strong defense, this is certainly a team.
8:31
[SPEAKER_01]: that has an opportunity to go on a deep run in the playoffs and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they're playing in that that final uh best of three series to win the glyg title.
8:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Aaron Pippman, we look forward to hearing it from you as at all unfolds of this year.
8:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks so much for your time.
