Hello, welcome to the Hoot Collective Podcast. We talk about the NBA which we're doing on Thursday morning joining us from Philadelphia where he was at the net 76ers game on Wednesday night and is flying later today to Boston to go to Celtics.

Nick's on Thursday night is Tim Bontep's. Hello guys. Joining us from Dallas, Texas and McMahon.

Howdy partners. Be making my maiden voyage to Salt Lake City tonight. See those little scrappy jazzy's this weekend.

Well, the jazzy's as you call them give up 60 last night to Damien Rillard in Portland. And not for the first time that they've given up at least six or at least 50.

But those things happen sometimes.

Well, the jazz are very comfortably because nobody's given them any flack about it very comfortably now down in tenth and headed the other direction they wanted head and I think when we get to the end, they'll be right where they need to be.

So that's my prediction.

So the Indiana Pacers, by the way.

That's true, although the Pacers did get a win a couple of days ago against the bulls to break their losing streak.

Well, they have a worse record now than Utah, even with that and with Tyrie Southburton out, they are trending very sharply in the downward direction.

We're going to talk about the Pacers.

We're actually going to talk about the Pacers in a few minutes.

We are.

And in relation to what their current position may be doing to their intentions at the deadline.

So, uh, montaim says, again, you are at no Kevin Durant, but still a very spirited game of very trash talk field game that spilled over into the post game with Durant and Embed tweeting at each other.

And total wrestling type of fair complete with Embed doing the triple H chop.

I don't know.

I'm not a wrestling guy.

I don't know what that, uh, what's that thing where you do the cross and hit your cross.

What's that called from the degeneration X.

Sucket sign, I believe is.

Oh, whoa.
