(00:00-30:23) – Query & Company opens on a Wednesday with Jake Query, Jimmy Cook, and producer Eddie Garrison wondering what the heck happened last night in Milwaukee for the Indiana Pacers. Jake and Jimmy are frustrated with the selfless nature of Tyrese Haliburton instead of trying to take the game over after realizing the other players didn’t have it last night. They also question what is going on with Pascal Siakam right now after three consistent dud offensive scoring performances.

(30:23-50:30) – The guys come back from break with the phone lines full of listeners looking to share their opinions on the game and share some positivity. Jake asked each called to share something they were thankful for when they woke up this morning to break up the negativity.

He weighs in on Jimmy’s point that this team could be too selfless at times, tries to explain what’s going on with Pascal Siakam the last three games, weighs in on whether Giannis or Lillard will return for game six, and assesses if game six can be classified as a must win game for Indiana.

(1:22:09-1:37:22) – Following their conversation with Dustin Dopirak, Jake and Jimmy take a step back and look at the rest of the NBA Playoffs. They discuss the crazy ending between the Knicks/76ers and how the Cavaliers/Magic series has been forgotten about.
