Pacing Forward Episode 15: General NBA Questions, Pacers Fandom, and More Questions (feat. CSB)

Huge episode for this week as we managed to get the one and only CSB on the podcast with us. We spend the majority of the podcast asking and answering various questions about the NBA, the Pacers, and about basketball in general. Said questions include things such as how we got into the NBA and the Pacers, what we thought about past season, how we felt about the Oladipo/post-Oladipo era, what we think is in store for the future, and how we feel about the direction of the team going forward. This is probably the final Pacers-centered episode of the podcast until the 2022-23 season gets closer. Huge shoutout to CSB for agreeing to do the podcast with us. You can follow him on Twitter here [https://twitter.com/itscsb__]. He was fantastic and did a great job answering any questions Dom and I had for him. Next week or the week after will most likely be the final Pacing Forward episode of season 1 as we will take a short hiatus before starting up again as the NBA season gets closer and closer. Thank you guys for tuning in as always and have a great week!

Pacing Forward Episode 14: Summer League Recap, Ayton "Signing", Other Trades, and Next Season's Excitement (feat. loIjets and Jukedups)

We start the episode off talking about the hectic Deandre Ayton signing and subsequent match by the Suns and what that means for both teams. Following that, we get into Indiana's 2022 Summer League performance and break down everyone from the recent trades and the rookies' performances in Vegas, mostly Bennedict Mathurin. We also talk a lot about the other moves around the NBA as well as the TJ Warren trade, and Donovan Mitchell rumors with Chris and Ju. Chris gives us some thoughts about the possibility of Mitchell as a Knicks fan. We finish off the episode by discussing Myles Turner and Buddy Hield's future trade destinations and what they've done as Pacers, respectively. Big shoutout to Chris [https://twitter.com/loIjets] and Ju [https://twitter.com/currypiston?lang=en] for being on the podcast and having a great time with us, their accounts are on their names.

Following that, we get into the Pacers' free agency moves including re-signing Jalen Smith, trading Malcolm Brogdon, and also explore the options of trading Myles Turner, retaining TJ Warren, and possibly trading for Deandre Ayton.

Pacing Forward Episode 12: Post-NBA Finals Talk, Overall Season Recap, and Pre-Draft Discussions

We start off the episode by discussing the NBA Finals between the Celtics and Warriors and discussing the key factors that led to the Warriors victory as well as talking about multiple individual player performances, including Jayson Tatum, Draymond Green, Steph Curry, and others. After that, we go on a trip down memory lane and discuss the recent NBA season in its entirety, not just from the Pacers' point of view but the entire NBA. We discuss the ups, the downs, and all the memorable moments that we had this past season. We wrap up the episode by discussing potential trade rumors surrounding the Pacers and talking about our preferred picks for the upcoming 2022 NBA Draft (Stay tuned for that episode coming soon post-draft).

Pacing Forward Episode 11: Conference Finals/Miami Heat Talk, NBA Finals Predictions, and NPC Talk (feat. loIjets)

We start by briefly covering the Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and Mavericks and also touch on the NBA's potential blowout problem. Following that, we discuss the Heat/Celtics series with our good friend Chris who is a Heat fan. Despite getting off-topic with NPCs in the NBA and where a lot of these surprise players came from, we eventually steer the conversation back to NBA Finals predictions and potential X-Factors. This episode might be my personal favorite so far and it went way longer than was initially expected. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did recording it.

Big shoutout to Chris for being on the podcast and talking Heat/Finals ball with us, you can follow him at https://twitter.com/loijets. PS. Apologies for my poor audio quality, I guess the mic picked up my fan's noise as well. I'll try to get that fixed next episode.
