Alex and Facci are here to answer Pt. 2 of the January Mailbag! Thanks for your awesome questions and look in the description to see if your question(s) were answered on this episode! Matt Peck - Do you feel that the pacers small ball lineup is sustainable for the playoffs or long term? If not what changes do you think need to be made? Jeff Dunham - What does #BoomBaby mean, where did it come from, how long have the Pacers used it and why do I hardly ever see it off Twitter? DJ Davis - if the Pacers rebound better they will likely win 25% more games. The Pacers need a 6'9 or taller PF who rebounds well and can shoot. Who can they trade for and what will we have to give up, player and/or pick(s)? Chuck & Jamie - Put our beloved rookies under the microscope. What's your biggest compliment and biggest criticism/ improvement for each of them? Better yet- if it's hard to pick one compliment-make it a compliment sandwich- two compliments sandwiching a criticism/ improvement Andrew - do you think it would be more beneficial for IND in the long-term to trade smaller amounts of capital for smaller-role guys, like Cam Reddish or Pat Williams, or would it be more worthwhile to trade larger amounts for a guy like OG or Lauri Markkanen? I see arguments to both sides, and I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Alex and Facci are here to answer Pt. 1 of the January Mailbag! Thanks for your awesome questions and look in the description to see if your question(s) were answered on this episode! Randall - Do you think the lack of defined roles as affected the players? Even though the Pacers are playing really good, it still seems like a make shift roster some of the time. 2 Pointers Pod - Do we think Turner gets moved in any manner at the deadline? Or are there other deadline moves you guys see? Aaron M - This team reminds me of the Suns team that came from out of nowhere, and ALMOST made the playoffs in the bubble. The next season I believe they had the best record in the NBA. If Haliburton gets back in the next 2-3 weeks, do you think this team can have a similar trajectory? Andrew - I feel like Mathurin has struggled to keep defenses honest on the drive. He gets a ton of cals, which is awesome, but don't feel it is sustainable in the long-term, and I feel it's a large piece as to why he doesn't yet start or close out games. He doesn't have a solidified midrange pull-up yet, and his three ball has been lacking as of late, and I'm curious as to what you all feel his next step should be as a player? Do you think he should prioritize distributing out of the pnr, or should he push towards developing a more consistent jumper to keep the lane open? Tyler Christian - What do you think will be the team's strategy at the trade deadline? It's likely that Hali's injury threw a wrench in things, but do you think they'll be buyers, sellers, or a combination of the two? Gavin - Do you think Duarte's name was off the table in talks for a sign and trade for Ayton? Assuming the package was Turner, Duarte, and a first? Basketball John - What's the ceiling for Mathurin and Nembhard? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
