Huge episode for this week as we managed to get the one and only CSB on the podcast with us. We spend the majority of the podcast asking and answering various questions about the NBA, the Pacers, and about basketball in general. Said questions include things such as how we got into the NBA and the Pacers, what we thought about past season, how we felt about the Oladipo/post-Oladipo era, what we think is in store for the future, and how we feel about the direction of the team going forward. This is probably the final Pacers-centered episode of the podcast until the 2022-23 season gets closer. Huge shoutout to CSB for agreeing to do the podcast with us. You can follow him on Twitter here. He was fantastic and did a great job answering any questions Dom and I had for him. Next week or the week after will most likely be the final Pacing Forward episode of season 1 as we will take a short hiatus before starting up again as the NBA season gets closer and closer. Thank you guys for tuning in as always and have a great week! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pacing-forward/message

We start by briefly covering the Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and Mavericks and also touch on the NBA's potential blowout problem. Following that, we discuss the Heat/Celtics series with our good friend Chris who is a Heat fan. Despite getting off-topic with NPCs in the NBA and where a lot of these surprise players came from, we eventually steer the conversation back to NBA Finals predictions and potential X-Factors. This episode might be my personal favorite so far and it went way longer than was initially expected. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did recording it.
