They are doing actually really well this year. They are on a 5 game winning streak and it is pretty much because of Tyrese Halliburton. So we're going to go over their starting 5 of their, yeah their starting 5. And once we go over their starting 5, we are going to talk about why they are doing so good. So the starting 5 we're going to start, the starting 5 is Tyrese Halliburton, Andrew Nembhard, Mal Turner, Jalen Smith, and Aaron Neesmith. So it's going nuts that they are doing this good this year. Tyrese Halliburton is now a 94 overall in 2K24. And his stats this year, 24 points, 50 field goal percentage, 41 three point percentage, 4 rebounds per game, 12 assists per game, 1 steal, and 0 blocks. So he's actually doing very, very good. And we're going to go Miles Turner. This year he's averaging 17 points, his field goal percentage is 52.8, three point percentage 35.7, rebounds per game 7.3, assists per game 1.2, and steals per game 0.5, blocks per game 2.2. So he's doing actually really well. Opie Toppin, no it wasn't Opie Toppin. Let's go Benedict McInerney. We're just going to go over their normal starting 5. 14 points, field goal percentage 46, three point percentage 37, rebounds 3.8, assists 1.9, steals 0.5, and blocks 0.2. So he's also doing good. We're going to go with two more. Opie Toppin. 11 points, field goal percentage 57, three point percentage 37, rebounds per game 4, assists per game 1, steals per game 0, and blocks per game 0. One more, I'm pretty sure it was, yep, it is Jalen Smith. Jalen Smith, points 10, field goal 66, three pointer 53.3, rebounds 5, assists 1, steals 0.3, blocks 0.4. So he's also doing good. And now we're just going to go with one more, Aaron Neesmith. 11 points, field goal percentage 47, three point percentage 57, rebounds 3.3, assists 1.1, steals 1.2, and blocks 0.7. And we'll just go with one more just for fun. Andrew Nembhard. He is averaging 7 points, field goal percentage 48.4, three point percentage 30.6, rebounds per game 1.8, assists per game 4, steals per game 1, and blocks per game 0.0. And now we are going to talk about how they are doing good this season. So they're probably doing really well this season because Tyree Halliburton hasn't been improving very, very well. They beat the Bucs two games in a row, so the Bucs are on a two-game losing streak. But they're still 24-10, so they're still good. The Panthers are 19-14, which is actually very good, especially for a young team like that. They're on a five-game winning streak. Also, the Warriors are on a one-game winning streak for once. They finally won a game the other day against the Magic. And the Lakers are on a three-game losing streak. The Timberwolves are on a two-game losing streak. And somehow, the Celtics are on a one-game losing streak. They actually lost a game. But the Pacers are also doing good. They have a really good team. They will do very, very, very well for the rest of the season. And I'm pretty sure they will make the playoffs. Thank you for listening to AKTalksNBA. And make sure to like and follow. Thank you. Bye.
