They marvel at how the Pacers haven’t won in New Orleans since 2021, as well as the most hyped up Indiana Sports seasons in recent memory and where this one ranks.

1:51:48 – 2:04:32  – Quenton Nelson media availability from today talking about how the team responds to Ballard being fired, what should JMV be for Halloween? Then, getting to more calls.
