• 0:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back to the Central Indian Sports Report Pacer stands for a special addition of the Pacer's report with microch is reaction to the Pacer's 115 101 loss due to the Toronto Raptors Mike ending the longest winning streak in the NBA.
• 0:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is the longest winning streak in the NBA.
• 0:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, God, that's crazy.
• 0:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's over.
• 0:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: And it was, it was good that they, at least got it within four.
• 0:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought they were, they were, what, 21, down twice.
• 0:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: And to get it to four was, it was a good comeback.
• 0:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: But, you got it to four by improving their field goal percentage to about 36%.
• 0:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was so bad.
• 1:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was bad.
• 1:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think this is part of when you come back from an injury.
• 1:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, sometimes you get some rest of the man Aaron Eastmith just couldn't hit anything.
• 1:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now hard to mad, it was other than Siakim who we're going to talk about here in just a minute and Jerry's Walker, not a ton to be excited about about this one.
• 1:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think they had a three game win streak hangover.
• 1:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: They must have went out and party pretty awkward and just hungover today.
• 1:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was pretty bad.
• 1:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: That first quarter was just, it was, uh, atrocious to, I'm just awful.
• 1:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: The, I don't want to say lack of effort, Mike, because it's really never a lack of effort.
• 1:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: it's just not getting into a rhythm and not hitting your max effort and it just in the first quarter they just couldn't get out of their own way.
• 1:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Defense was bad.
• 2:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: The offense was bad.
• 2:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Everything was bad.
• 2:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought they were going to lose by 50 points to that.
• 2:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought I was going to be a lot worse than it ended up being in and
• 2:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: uh... i think i think in ground gave johnny for a few lessons and i uh... he needs to he needs to stack on some muscle and be able to hold his own defensively uh... and i'm glad they took for a few off of him in a second half but he he definitely struggled against him and like i said he he got a lesson from him yeah it's quit buckner said it that's how you learn that's how he yeah you have to
• 2:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I can really score.
• 2:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: He can ball.
• 2:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 2:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's never been a winner.
• 2:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Everywhere he's gone kind of losing follows him.
• 2:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: But the guy can score for sure.
• 2:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 2:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: He absolutely can.
• 2:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 2:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: And quite it 30 points.
• 2:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: And of course, the Pacers don't make the comeback without Pascal Siocam, who was just tremendous again.
• 3:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: The guy was a maniac.
• 3:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, for offense of rebounds, I don't want to overlook that and really kind of will them back to to get into this game.
• 3:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Never felt like they were going to win it, Mike, but then a chance in the full order.
• 3:26
  [UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
• 3:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: the best you can ask for from this team.
• 3:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's like if they play an even halfway decent game tonight, they beat that Toronto team, which was sure handed itself, and I didn't think Toronto played very well.
• 3:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's the thing about it.
• 3:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't think Toronto played that well.
• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought the Pacers were just except for the third quarter, just absolutely awesome.
• 3:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't a fun game to watch.
• 3:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought Toronto just I think Indiana played into Toronto's defense meaning that
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: They just allowed their defense to set up and in the end, it just struggled the score until they made the run and was able to get it close, but Toronto, I missed a lot of shots and you have a lot of opportunity to get back in the game and take the lead.
• 4:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: Johnny Furfrey going one for four from a free throw line and back to back fouls that he got to
• 4:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Mike, you know what, made it even harder to watch was turning it over back and forth between the Pacers and the Purdue game, and the Purdue game was an absolute symphony of basketball, fantastic plays on both sides of the court, and then you turn it to the Pacers and Toronto, just so, it's no ugly.
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Are you having a double double, man?
• 4:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: And you know that crowd just loves him.
• 4:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: Everybody loves him.
• 4:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: They want to see him do well and he's going to be a player.
• 4:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: He still just looks so young.
• 5:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: He looks like such a kid.
• 5:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think physically he's just going to continue to develop.
• 5:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think that's when that that's when you're going to see the potential.
• 5:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: Right now he's a boy playing with men and absolutely and holding his own and that's what Buckner said and that's what I kind of pointed out earlier is that him going up against ingram is just great experience for him and ingrams a full grown man and has every compliment of a basketball game that he
• 5:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: you need to go against and just like I said, gave him a lesson and I'm optimistic and hopeful that Murphy will take that experience and it's just kind of making better.
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Definitely a part of the future.
• 5:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of them guys, a guy who may or may not be a part of the future, we really thought so coming into this year he was going to be a big piece.
• 5:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: then we kind of thought maybe we oversold him, but Jaris Walker, at least scoring wise, looks really proficient, so smooth.
• 6:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: And he's got a good vision, and he can make great passes, and you just need to see it more consistently.
• 6:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: And over the last four or five games, he has looked a lot better.
• 6:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's also capable of good defense and has played a whole lot of bad defense.
• 6:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yes, and quit in Jackson.
• 6:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought was really good tonight, too.
• 6:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he is a piece as well.
• 6:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought again, Quentin and Nemhart on the floor at the same time is when they're really most productive.
• 6:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's their most dominant line up.
• 6:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think pairing him with Nemhart is a good move and should do it more.
• 6:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: The only way to do that, though, is to probably start Johnny Furfea's center, unless I'm who else you're going to put it center, J.
• 6:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Half Y'all must have to start him with what Tommy Bradley going to be here.
• 7:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe Mike that Mike a Potter.
• 7:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that'd be nice to see more minutes from him, but yeah.
• 7:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Some really pretty dunks from Jay Huff tonight, Mike, I'm just not a fan.
• 7:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's a two handed behind his head dunk.
• 7:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 7:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: And again, over two weeks.
• 7:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh for three from the three point line and when he's down low he blocks, but when he isn't It leaves the lane wide open That's right and how I don't know I got tired of watching Toronto just drive straight to the lane and dunk the ball Yeah, while it's turner But not as good as it is and we can talk about the walkie a little bit here to you kidding me
• 7:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's good to see them suck
• 7:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm just getting booed.
• 7:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've never seen a player boo fans before.
• 8:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: I loved it.
• 8:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: If they're booing me, I'm going to boo him back.
• 8:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: To be fair, it's not his fault.
• 8:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: No.
• 8:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: They've planted that team for Miles Irner.
• 8:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: And that's what he told him.
• 8:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's like, I've done nothing but lead in every statistical category for this team.
• 8:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: In the last 12 years, and you booed me.
• 8:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't think they were going him, I think they're going team and they don't like the product on the floor.
• 8:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
• 8:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're now a game and a half out of the play in game, Mike, fantastic.
• 8:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right, back to the Pacers.
• 8:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, some good news.
• 8:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: The wizard's in Kings both one.
• 8:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's right, so the Pacers are now have the second worst record in the NBA, just a half game behind the pelicans who just happened to be announced.
• 8:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, that that's going to be a good match up and his Zion playing.
• 9:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Does he ever play?
• 9:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: No.
• 9:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
• 9:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm guessing he is.
• 9:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was in silly but.
• 9:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh man.
• 9:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: He plays three games at a time.
• 9:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Mike.
• 9:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 9:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Play three out 12.
• 9:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Play three out 12.
• 9:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it's not just him.
• 9:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, when that draft kit, when the Zion Williams and draft happened, I thought I wouldn't touch him.
• 9:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know how good of an athlete is.
• 9:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: If he's an 18 year old kid in high school, can't keep his weight under control.
• 9:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Imagine what's going to happen when he becomes a man.
• 9:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he's pushing 400 pounds.
• 9:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
• 9:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 9:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I just anyway, he has a very good player and he makes a huge difference when he plays.
• 10:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I hope the guy sees the light,
• 10:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: wins some games, just not against the Pacers.
• 10:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Seems like a good guy who just really struggles with his weight.
• 10:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, just battling, uh, too many bond bonds.
• 10:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: I draw it.
• 10:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: And Mike, the Pacers now three and two in the six game stretch that you and I've been talking about for a couple of weeks now, I predicted they would go three and three and see they're going to be three and three or four and two, never would guess that would be I wouldn't have I definitely wouldn't have I was picking that they were going to win two games.
• 10:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: a good surprise, the win against Boston.
• 10:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought that was a surprise and was happy to see that.
• 11:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: I have all the games that I looked at the next ones, the one I thought that they had the best chance at winning.
• 11:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: It might be the only game they were favored in.
• 11:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: They may not have even been favored before, but I think they're favored.
• 11:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: According to the ESPN analytics, they have 56% of James the winner.
• 11:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I see that.
• 11:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Probably about right.
• 11:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's probably about right.
• 11:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully it's a good game, but it's the battle for the bottom.
• 11:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hey Mike, thanks so much for dropping by.
• 11:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know it wasn't much of a game to talk about, but any chance we'd get to talk about the Pacers we love doing it.
