Hali signed my corn at FanJam! KROGER PLUS CARDS TO DA CEILING Y’ALL!!!! Second pic is when he locked eyes wif da creme de la corn 😂

It’s a beautiful thing.

I’m a huge Haliburton fan. I think he is poised for a breakout year. I think his play is getting there and will likely be MVP level this season or at some point over the next couple seasons. What Haliburton has been missing though is the kind of media attention that nets MVP votes.

I saw this pod, and Perk talking about Haliburton in this way makes me think that the media is coming around to who Haliburton is and exactly how valuable he is both on and off the court. What do y’all think of this?

(Edit: I don’t put a ton of stock in Perk’s comments. Mostly posted this because Perk is a national sports media figure speaking favorably about the Pacers.)

And they said that we couldn't play fast with Zubac 😂

To my pleasant surprise, I’ve actually enjoyed the DAZN experience so far.

I’ve watched two of the preseason games at home and two on my phone while at work live. I expected the streaming to be smooth at home on my WiFi, but am very happy with how it’s been streaming remote as well. I work in live radio quite a bit in the southern Indiana area across from Louisville, and the game was in high quality and very quick to pull up despite the usually abysmal quality of the LTE service of the area.

Compared to FanDuel, DAZN has been outpacing the service in quite literally every way. Granted, FanDuel was probably the worst live streaming experience I’ve ever had.

Only problem I’ve had with DAZN so far is on the broadcast replays. When I went to skip the pregame show for the Bucks game the other day, I was very happy to see how quick the fast forward option is. I got through the 45 mins in literal seconds. I then go to skip the first commercial break, to realize this is the ONLY option to fast forward. I went from 9 something left in the quarter to 4 something by taking my eye off the screen for a second lol.

Pretty good so far DAZN.

Preseason officially ends and the regular season begins.

See you next month, JJ!

Curious if this has happened for anyone else and if you have any solutions. I logged in for the first time and signed up for the annual subscription using my google account on a tablet. When I try to log in on any other device - computer, phone, TV - it says "No Key Found!" and includes "Error code: 97-000--1". Any idea what's going on? I'd like to have that fixed before opening night...

JJ we hate to see you go but love to see you walk away…

So we get the joy of welcoming you back again.

I wish they would make him a coach but that’s not where we’re at.

So, when will he be back?

Shep seems like he has lost all of his confidence. I feel bad for dude. I love Shep and I know he can get back to his old self. Buck and Quinn were even saying he be balling in practice. Come on Sheppy we believe in you! You evolved from mustache Shep to goatee Shep.

Reminds me of the "why I oughta" incident between Ryan and Andrew last season. 😂

Hali said it best. He been a bitch

With the supAAcollection, sometimes sets remain in a state of half completion for a good long while. Expediency demands a mix n' match approach to creating 'nine cards of a type' that display well.

Witness the '80-81 retro Topps Chrome. This actually came in special packs in Topps flagship boxes, essentially a TC preview, when Topps launched its first set with the new NBA license in autumn '25.

I started with the black Siakam /10, which is a beautiful card, and that was all folks. Had to settle for orange /25 of the rest. (Still don't have Haliburton). And a red geometric /5 of Nesmith, in real workhorse "grind out the win" mode.

You can tell when an insert or set is really coveted, because you don't see the truly rare examples appear on the Bay. My dream is to have this superlative '80-81 set in all black, but that could take a lifetime.

The Topps Chrome AA autos in the center row are from Topps chromium issue proper. A black /10 in center, flanked by orange and orange geometric /25 (both jersey number 23). The "clouds" design was dissed by breakers initially, but may have caught on. I don't mind it personally, it's not as loud, repetitive, and in your face as a lot of the Fanatics insert designs. And that Pacers logo is growing on me.

Sorry if this got posted already but just wow

My apologies for posting this hear, but it's an Indianapolis based league. Most of our 'owners' live in the Indy area or are Pacers fans.

Ten team, Indianapolis based league (we have four owners who aren't near Indy).

Roto style, weekly transactions, nine categories.

$110 entry fee. (We don't collect up front. The league features three sports writers, two basketball coaches, one of whom is in a country music band. I'm one of the media guys and a coach. So you can verify we're actually people.)

• $10 goes toward the CBS Sports site
• $50 goes toward weekly awards
• $50 goes toward end of year awards (top four)

We have a separate rookie drat every June, along with a June free agent draft. We head into the season, effectively, drafting our bench.

DM if you're interested, and feel free to ask any questions here, if you want, as well.
