18:20 As a Celtics fan I remember Aaron Baynes always being the first out after halftime and shooting 3s despite that not being part of his game. But he got good enough at the straight ahead stand still 3 that the coaching staff gave him the go ahead and defenses learned to respect him from that spot, then he worked on the corner. Even if Isaiah Jackson is only making the easiest, most open looks from a single spot, what matters is teams couldn't just leave him alone.

Tony R East bringing the goods for the 'Cers!

[AndrewPolander]

Pacers are relentless offensively in a league that duriong the reg season doesn't play alot of D! #2 seed is possible...definitely a top 4 seed!

FYI--you misspelled the word approach (aproach)

[hiramcintron]

My concern with Ben is that he'll eventually get frustrated with coming off the bench. I hope whatever role he's given that he embraces it. I hope we get to see his full upside.

[johnjacobs]

I like Mathurin. I have always felt since day 1 that his shot was somewhat flat. I would like to see Mathurin develop a back down game like Michael Jordan. That is pass it to him in the block, a couple back downs, then fade away jumper.

[johnjacobs]

Thee best expose on the deficiencies with James Wiseman was on a YouTube done by Ben Pfeifer--very informative. This was a video documentation of his deficiencies.

The podcast gets interesting at 11:47.

Mathurin's goal is to be the best two-way player in the league. If his defense is close to that level, he will be a starter. What will the Pacers do if Benn Drew AA Pascal Myles is one of the best defensive lineups in the league?

[johnjacobs]

My disappoint with Shepherd last year is given what he was supposed to be he didn't shoot the ball that well from 3.

[johnjacobs]

Haliburton's lack of defense, I think, will continue to be a problem, especially when you get into the playoffs.

[AndrewPolander]

Hope we cutback Tyrese minutes! Need him fresh and ready to roll when playoffs ROLL around!
