Kevin O'ConnorHOST
Some of the younger guys getting a little bit better.
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
I don't see any reason to believe that this Pacers team won't be back in the NBA playoffs, and I think they're clearly the safest and best bet of the 10 on that list.
Tom HaberstrohGUEST
Oh, yeah.
Tom HaberstrohGUEST
I totally agree.
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
Today, Tom Haberstroh and I are conducting our first bad team playoff draft.
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
Last year, five teams that missed the play-in tournament the previous season made the NBA playoffs.
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
So we're gonna do that same thing this year.
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
Of the 10 teams that missed the play-in this past year, who's got the best shot to make the playoffs this season?
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
In the playoffs, they had a 119.7 offensive rating with Haliburton on the floor.
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
That dropped to 105.4 in minutes without Haliburton on the floor.
Kevin O'ConnorHOST
And so as long as Tyrese can come back and still be Tyrese Haliburton, still bringing energy and passing the ball up, getting this team into their offense and giving them that flow that they had during their run to a game seven against Oklahoma City, I think with this roster, still with Siakam there, bringing in Zubac, as great as he is at center, some of the younger guys getting a little bit better, I don't see any reason to believe that this Pacers team won't be back in the NBA playoffs, and I think they're clearly the safest and best bet of the 10 on that list.
Tom HaberstrohGUEST
Oh, yeah.
