The Baseline NBA Podcast is back with our coveted Autopsy Report, putting three struggling franchises “on the slab”: the Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings, and Washington Wizards. Cal Lee and Warren Shaw pull on the black scrubs and break down who’s got a pulse, who’s in critical condition, and who’s completely flatlined. We’re not just talking vibes – we’re talking coaching, roster construction, cap sheets, injuries, culture, and front office direction. This episode is perfect for hoop fans who live for the postmortem on disappointing seasons and want an early look at what these teams must do next. In this episode: Why a team that was just in the NBA Finals (Pacers) collapsed into the bottom of the East How much blame (or grace) Rick Carlisle deserves, and why his partnership with Tyrese Haliburton still matters Why the Pacers’ roster is in critical condition, and why a dynamic two-way wing is now a must The ongoing identity crisis in Sacramento and why the Kings’ culture and direction have completely flatlined What Doug Christie represents as a coach… and why his imprint still isn’t visible on either end of the floor How ugly the Kings’ cap situation and veteran mix really are, and why the franchise feels rudderless Why the Washington Wizards might actually have more hope than people think How a core built around Trae Young, Anthony Davis, and Alex Sarr, plus a wave of young talent, could reshape the Wizards The defensive identity Washington could build, and what has to go right for this experiment not to blow up If you rock with deep-dive NBA team breakdowns, cap and roster talk, and culture-focused analysis – this Autopsy Report is for you. 0:00 – Intro, black scrubs energy & Autopsy Report concept 1:33 – Explaining the Autopsy scale: pulse, critical condition, flatline 4:55 – PrizePicks read & setting up this week’s three teams 6:45 – Indiana Pacers put on the slab: from Finals run to bottom of the East 7:22 – Did we overrate the Pacers or underestimate the East? 8:45 – Coaching: grading Rick Carlisle and his partnership with Haliburton 14:50 – Pacers roster in critical condition: the missing wing 23:13 – Pacers intangibles & future: Halliburton’s return and realistic offensive/defensive ceiling 27:37 – Sacramento Kings on the slab: no identity, no direction, no plan 31:07 – Kings roster: bad veteran mix, cap issues, and no cornerstone path 41:15 – Can the draft deliver a true culture-changer for Sacramento? 47:02 – Kings intangibles: ownership and why the franchise feels stuck 51:57 – Washington Wizards on the slab: ugly season, but a plan in place? 54:41 – Coaching Brian Keefe: is he the guy to lead a Trae/AD era? 58:34 – Wizards roster breakdown: Trae Young, Anthony Davis, Alex Sarr 1:04:14 – Intangibles in D.C.: defensive identity, realistic upside 1:09:45 – Closing: where these three franchises go from here & teasing future Autopsy Reports Follow The Baseline on X: https://twitter.com/nbabaseline Follow The Baseline on IG: https://instagram.com/nba_baseline The Baseline Swag: https://tinyurl.com/baselineswag Subscribe to 19 Media Group: https://bit.ly/3KcZtGe #nba #podcast #sports

Antoine Semenyo's goal in first-half added time was enough to give City a crucial 1-0 win over Leeds United. It was a hard-fought victory against a determined and energetic Leeds side who spurned a number of guilt-edged chances in the first period. Semenyo struck two minutes into first-half added time after a lovely move involving Rayan Ait-Nouri and Rayan Cherki. The win keeps City hard on the heels of leaders Arsenal who play Chelsea on Sunday.
