On this episode of Combo's Court, Combo sits down with Pierre Andresen, co-host of Numbers on the Board and on-air voice for NBC Sports, for an in-depth basketball conversation about one of the hottest topics in the game — the overuse of the word “generational.” Combo and Pierre break down why that label has lost its meaning, exploring how the media and fan culture have blurred the line between “great” and “once-in-a-lifetime.” The two dive into Victor Wembanyama's early dominance, Cooper Flagg's adjustment to the NBA, and what separates real hoopers from highlight players. They go beyond the headlines to discuss how social media changed player perception, the rise of “bag culture,” and why understanding basketball IQ still matters more than flash. The episode also touches on Pascal Siakam's underrated impact, the Knicks' defensive identity under Mike Brown, and Ja Morant's future in Memphis after a turbulent start.

The Pacers battled to the wire in a 117–115 loss to the Bucks, capped by a last-second bucket from Giannis Antetokounmpo in a thriller at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. It was Myles Turner's return to Indy, but the former Pacer struggled to find rhythm against his old squad, while Pascal Siakam once again delivered an outstanding performance on both ends. Isaiah Jackson made the most of his opportunity, turning in his best game yet as the starting center, but injuries to Quenton Jackson and Johnny Furphy added to Indiana's growing list of setbacks. Brad and Ryan break down the effort, the closing moments, and what's next as the Pacers look to finally get on the board. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Brad and Ryan are back to break down the Pacers' rough 0–4 start to the season and a road trip filled with close calls and mounting injuries after the Pacers fall in Dallas 107-105. Pascal Siakam continues to do it all, Jarace Walker delivers a career-high 20 point performance, and Mac McClung sees his first action in blue and gold. But a cold night from deep — especially from Aaron Nesmith — sealed another frustrating loss to wrap the trip. The guys look back on what's gone wrong so far, what bright spots still exist, and what needs to change as the Pacers return to Indy for four straight at home, including a Halloween In-Season Tournament matchup with Atlanta.

The season opener had everything — drama, emotion, and a whole lot of fight. The Pacers took the defending champion Thunder to double overtime before falling just short, 141–135. Brad and Ryan break down a gritty performance led by Bennedict Mathurin's breakout night, Pascal Siakam just doing everything, and an unbelievable showing from the bench that kept Indiana in it from start to finish. Despite some questionable officiating and a parade of free throws for SGA, the Pacers showed real toughness and growth. The guys talk moral victories, missed opportunities, and why this team shows no signs of quit despite all the talk of “gap year.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

His dual role with the Hornets included overseeing the development of young NBA talent, including 2024 sixth overall draft pick Tidjane Salaun.Before joining the Hornets organization, Bakker served as an assistant coach with the Milwaukee Bucks during the 2023–24 season. He played a key role in shaping the team's offensive identity to maximize the strengths of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, while also working individually with Khris Middleton and Malik Beasley. That season, the Bucks finished fifth in Offensive Rating and Bakker was part of the coaching staff for both the 2024 NBA All-Star Game and the playoffs. His G League success began with the Motor City Cruise, where he led the team to a 31–15 record in its inaugural season and a playoff berth, while developing five future NBA players.Bakker's coaching journey includes player development roles with the Detroit Pistons, Toronto Raptors, and Dallas Mavericks, where he worked with emerging stars like Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, and OG Anunoby.

We discuss the likelihood of more Obi at the 5, and also touch on Johnny Furphy's role as a potential 3&D wing and where he might crack the rotation. What does this group need to do to raise the Pacers ceiling? We unpack the opportunities, potential breakout candidates, and lineup combinations that could define the forward rotation next season.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers break down NBA Game 7. Best bets as always. The podcast episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview hosted by Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers dives into the upcoming NBA Finals Game 7 between the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder, focusing on Game 6 recap, player and team statistics, Game 7 historical trends, and predictions. Munaf begins by acknowledging the unexpected extension to Game 7, joking that rapper Drake may be responsible after placing a massive bet on the Thunder in Game 6. Mackenzie reflects on his incorrect prediction and credits Indiana's resilience, noting they've consistently defied expectations. In Game 6, the Pacers delivered a balanced team performance. Tyrese Halliburton, playing through injury, contributed 14 points and 5 assists in 23 minutes. Four starters reached double figures, while Obi Toppin scored 20 off the bench. TJ McConnell added 12 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists. The Thunder, in contrast, had a dismal shooting night, hitting only 8 of 30 from three-point range, with starters going 1 for 13. They managed just 91 points, their lowest of the season. Defensively, the Pacers adjusted from full-court pressure in Game 4 to a more strategic, trap-heavy defense in Game 6. Mackenzie compares McConnell's impact to J.J. Barea in 2011, praising Rick Carlisle's coaching and noting that he's achieved more with less than most NBA coaches. Munaf suggests Carlisle's legacy could be cemented with a second improbable championship, citing his 2011 win over Miami's Big Three. Looking at Game 7, the Thunder are favored by 7.5 points with a total of 214.5. Historical trends support a close contest: since 2002, 62% of Game 7s have gone under the total, with average victory margins at just 6.9 points. Of the past ten NBA Finals Game 7s, only one had a margin over 7.5. Munaf notes that OKC's strong home record and MVP-caliber season from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA) bring added pressure, while Indiana is seen as playing with house money. Mackenzie believes the Thunder's legacy burden may weigh heavier on SGA than any player, contrasting Halliburton's low-risk, high-reward scenario. Referee influence, especially the likely assignment of Scott Foster, could shape the game. Foster is known for calling more fouls and previously officiated two Finals Game 7s, including the 2010 Celtics-Lakers game where LA shot 37 free throws. Munaf warns that if Foster is officiating, foul counts may spike. Both hosts back the Pacers +7.5 as their best bet. They emphasize Indiana's ability to stay within striking distance, citing the last four Finals teams that forced Game 7s after trailing 3–2 all won the title. Regarding props, Munaf favors Pascal Siakam's rebound over (7.5), noting consistent double-digit boards and high minutes. SGA and Caruso are tipped to exceed 2.5 combined steals and blocks, given the high-pressure context. Mackenzie leans under on Halliburton's 15.5 point line, which is near season-low, but suggests parlaying Halliburton overs with a Pacers win if expecting an upset. In closing, the hosts predict a tight, gritty Game 7 in line with NBA history. Both expect Indiana to cover and potentially win, citing momentum, strategic flexibility, and psychological freedom versus the high stakes confronting OKC. Learn more about your ad choices.

Get ready, Fearless Army! Jason Whitlock rips into the WNBA's self-serving narrative, declaring we've gone from the "age of suffrage" to "suffer-age" as Commissioner Cathy Engelbert takes credit for Caitlin Clark's monumental success. Engelbert claims the WNBA was "ready to capitalize" on the buzz around Clark and Angel Reese. But Whitlock exposes the audacious lie: The league's "success" isn't due to brilliance but is solely propelled by a "singularly exceptional group of college players" like Clark, who shattered viewership records. Jason dissects every metric, every inflated claim, and every attempt to diminish Clark's individual impact, revealing how the WNBA is desperately trying to co-opt her stardom while simultaneously allowing her to be targeted. This episode isn't just about the WNBA's grift; it's about the broader feminization of sports and media. We'll expose the absurdity of a woman running for NABJ president and the ongoing travesty of male athletes competing in women's sports. Then, Steve Kim joins the fray to further expose the media's desperate attempts to control the narrative around Caitlin Clark. Why are figures like Colin Cowherd and Nick Wright suddenly calling Clark the "biggest star"? We'll dive into the uncomfortable exchange between Pascal Siakam and reporter Greg Doyel and pull the curtain back on LeBron James getting ruthlessly dunked on. ​​Today's Sponsors: The Last Rodeo Don't miss The Last Rodeo, a compelling story of grit, redemption, and family values, in  theaters right now!.
