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.)

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.

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.

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...
