Day it's been so long since we've talked actually about 15 minutes or so here.

So let's get to it. We're gonna go in reverse half of alphabetical order here starting with the Indiana Pacers.

They're fundamentals, please sir.

The Pacers are now 40 and 20, 9 and 5 since the last time we covered them in the 15 and 60.

They are fifth, a robust fifth in the league in net rating, 15th in offense, strong second in defense,

538 projects them to win 50 games, which would be fifth in the Eastern Conference.

They are going to make the playoffs and we'll start with a little bit news from Jay Michael.

Tyree Gevens during the All Star Break got another PRP injection in his knee.

There's nothing wrong with it, but it was a precaution so he can finish the season strong.

We'll keep an eye on that Tyreex D has been a lingering issue this season though it is good that this was done, you know, just as a precaution.

This is a good one here to start with from JW, who's the best potential first run matchup for Indiana out of the Big Four in these?

My first thought was Philly just because they're the least established and I could also see the front court combination.

I'm not like they'll beast joe on bead, but just if they can pull him away from the basket, then that could open up some of the underbelly of Philly's defense.

Though they have some guys that can open recover and all that kind of stuff.

I think that's probably their best matchup though the Sixers could look a whole lot better a month from now than they do at this moment.

And probably the Celtics second just because I think the Bucks and the Raptors are the two best teams in this conference as of right now.

Do you, how would or would you have it?

Yeah, I mean, I think you just have to look at the quality of team with the Raptors and Bucks being a cut above.

I really don't like the way that Indiana matches up with the Bucks.

I mean, they did have that one game where they held the honest like 12 points or something, but my recollection is that Milwaukee is kind of handled that.

And they just don't really have the talent that the Bucks do.

I agree with you that I think it's Philly.
