John and Stephen give their early predictions for the Colts win/loss totals. 

14:37 - 39:20 - Tony East of SI Pacers and Forbes joins the show to talk about the NBA playoffs, the Pacers, and more! John and Tony discuss Deandre Ayton, his lack of impact in the Suns series loss to the Denver Nuggets, and how the Pacers should be grateful they didn’t end up landing Ayton; they also talk about if Ayton would have had a good year here, in the same way that Myles Turner did. They get into what players the Pacers might be interested in getting during the offseason.
