The Indiana Pacers made a TRADE while getting ready for Game 6 of the NBA Finals? What is going on! The Pacers trade away their 2025 1st round pick and the draft rights to Mojave King for their own 2026 first round pick back from NOLA. Alex is joined by David and Carson to breakdown why the Pacers made this move, whether or not this move is an indication of bigger moves ahead and why the Pacers would do this at this time of the season.

Alex and Facci join together to discuss Game 5 of the NBA Finals. Indiana struggled all night long to protect the basketball and get any offense going, but they overcome a horrific first half and cut the Thunder lead to 2 points in the 4th. However, OKC was able to go on a massive run and pull away with a double digit victory. The guys dive into that, Haliburton's injury, why Facci is guaranteeing a Game 6 victory in Gainbridge Fieldhouse, why Game 5 was a must-win for OKC and whether or not J Dub and SGA can repeat what they did in Game 5 in a closeout game.

On Part 2 of our Game 5 Preview, Alex and Facci discuss what they want to see differently in Game 5. The guys point out Pascal Siakam's lack of touches in the 4th quarter, Aaron Nesmith needing to provide more defensively than he has this series, the mediocre of Myles Turner over the last 2 seasons and whether or not extending him to a long term contract is the right move after all, a deep dive into the 3PT stats for both teams, a lineup Alex would like to see potentially, expectations and predictions for Game 5, and closing out the show talking about Desmond Bane being dealt to Orlando and whether or not that makes the Magic a playoff contender next season.
