Austin and Pausha return to the mics to discuss an action-packed second week of NBA. They start by discussing the complexity surrounding the Indiana Pacers and Tyrese Haliburton (0:00), then talk through the beginnings of the Paolo Banchero Year 3 leap (13:53).

Later, Austin gets into why he isn’t a big fan of Anthony Edwards shooting mostly 3s this season (28:07), before he and Pausha get into an interesting Karl-Anthony Towns–Nikola Jokic debate (34:30).

The guys wrap things up with talk of their concerns for the Nuggets (43:17) and try to figure out whether there is a clear-cut third-best team in the league after the Celtics and Thunder (48:28).

Hosts: Austin Rivers and Pausha Haghighi

Producers: Ben Cruz and Troy Farkas
