Hello. Oh, bonsois. Ah, bonsohn. The red wine has been poured. I say we cheers right now.

0:28.6

Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. To a fantastic week. What did you go with here? This is a beaujolet, a morgon.. Okay. A bogele. No, not a bogele. My bad. I think it's a Bordeaux. He doesn't know what he just ordered. I asked for the driest they had. Okay. And this is the driest they had. And it's awesome. This is the first. We are set up here in our hotel lobby.

We just got back from the Accor Arena, where we watched Game 2 between the Spurs

and the Pacers.

1:02.3

Not going to be a lot of game talk here on this pod.

1:06.5

We'll talk about our week here in Paris for the NBA Paris games.

1:10.3

Similar game in a weird way to the

1:11.7

first one on Thursday. Yes. Which had Wembe Gama taking over at the end of the third quarter,

1:17.7

blocking everything, diamond up guys, scoring, sort of blew the game open, and then they ran away

1:24.0

with it in the fourth. It was the reverse here tonight with Indiana superstar Tyrese Halliburton scoring, I think, 16 straight there at the end of the third quarter. He couldn't miss. He turned into Steph Curry. I'm surprised he didn't drop the, you know, night night. And then it was a blowout in the fourth quarter. Correct. So they come all this way, both these teams, and they leave with a win-impiece. Yeah. A nice revenge game on a Saturday night here in Paris. Yes. I mean, yeah. Yeah, you mentioned before that when we were watching the game tonight, you're like, the first quarter of the first game felt like an All-Star game almost. Yeah, it was pretty loose. It was very loose. It was supposed to be a home game for the Pacers, but the crowd was definitely there to see Wembe and the Spurs. And maybe that got in their head maybe a little bit. I don't know. It definitely looked like the Pacers played with a little more oomph here in Group on Saturday night. Defensively, they were a lot more locked in. And it did feel like, hey, guys, we didn't come all this way to just lose two here to the Spurs. Like, remember, the Pacers are a better team. They've been one of the best teams since the calendar flipped to 2025. Spurr's sort of the opposite of that. So it's like, let's at least get one of these. And again, Halliburton took over, and they ran away with it. And, yeah, set the crowd home. I guess a little disappointed. A little bit. I guess. What do you think of the crowd for both of these games, the production here in Paris. What do you think?

2:51.0

I thought they did an incredible job.

2:53.5

The arena, the Akora Arena, is a weird arena.
