About this episode

Brad and Ryan react live to the Pacers falling out of the top four in the NBA Draft Lottery and discuss the implications for the team's future.

The vibes were immaculate… until they absolutely weren’t. Brad and Ryan go LIVE to react to the NBA Draft Lottery as the Pacers officially fall outside the top four, sending their pick to the Clippers as part of the Ivica Zubac trade. What started as a hopeful afternoon quickly turned into a sobering reality check as Indiana misses out on the chance to land a potential franchise-changing talent. So where do the Pacers pivot from here? The guys break down what this means for the offseason, the new paths toward contention, and why Plan B now becomes the focus if Indiana wants to get back into the championship conversation next season.
