Look, the first thing is I really dislike the Indiana Pacers other than Pascal Siakam. who I will always love as a former Raptor. But I think the Pacers look damn good. I mean, they beat the Bucs, and it wasn't just due to injuries. They absolutely earned that series win. They're beating the Cavaliers and heading back to Indiana up 2-0.

And at this point, I think the Pacers have a legitimate chance to come out of the East. But just like hockey, there's been a lot of good competitive games, lots of comebacks, 20-point comebacks, 12-point comebacks. Seems to be the season for it. So I think the Thunder Nuggets is a very fun series. I thought the Thunder were going to absolutely crush them.

But the Nuggets came back from double digits down in the fourth quarter the other day and they won. And I think the Timberwolves have a very real chance to come out of the West. But they lost yesterday to Golden State in game one. So they've given up home court advantage now. And they lost the game where Steph Curry lost.

missed basically three quarters of the game leaving with an injury so I think the Warriors have a little something going with Jimmy Butler you know looking a little bit reinvigorated and Buddy Heald which is you know a name from the past that has not really worked out as intended in the NBA but was a heck of a college player he kind of looks like college Buddy Heald right now and is really playing well so right now I still think the Thunder will end up coming out of

the West, and it will end up being the Celtics or the Pacers out of the East. But the Pacers and Timberwolves are looking much more threatening than I think people anticipated coming in. And again, a lot of young stars playing good high-level basketball.

I think the NBA, you know, the ratings are not where they want them to be, but I think there's a lot of young and exciting talent in the league for people to watch if they want to pay attention to it.

Yes. I mean, I think it's all of that. I think the TV deals are a headache. I think when you have a series like Milwaukee versus Indiana that was blacked out heavily in the Indiana State market and in Wisconsin – you're not doing yourselves any favors. Having a lot of games on NBA TV, which I have, but lots of people don't, isn't great.

But I also think it's a big problem where a lot of the teams that are really strong right now are not in the heaviest market, although the Knicks and Celtics are playing each other, and that's an entertaining series that I think will have decent ratings, but a lot of the games are not. I think they've got major problems with how they schedule the games. There are so many games being played with
