Weird to say after a sweep, but I’m proud of this team. All we had to do was take a step forward this year and we instead we took a leap. Champs aren’t made overnight, you gotta take your lumps. I’m glad were getting ours, the team will be better for it. Look at the team that just beat us for example. Still a lotta of growing to do, but the arrow is shooting up. Thanks to the Pacers for a fun season, and thanks to Tony for great coverage. Boom baby.

As a Celtics fan you guys definitely have so much to be proud of this year. So much potential and still so young, I wouldn’t be surprised if our teams match up a number of times in the future. And trust me from watching mostly every game since Tatum and brown have been together, you guys will have major ups and downs in the coming years. It’s super hard to do in the moment, but try to enjoy this team’s growth and the relationships the players build with your fan base. Before you know it players you loved for years could be traded so enjoy their presence and the work they put in for your team. Again congrats on the year and should definitely be optimistic on the future!

@normanbell1410 4 месяца назад

Add a great two way wing. Mikal Bridges! We can't hold on to two starting points. We will lose one of them. So trade one while you can. Can we leverage Nembhard to get Mikal? Not without giving up a lot, and hoping for a sign and trade. Ty and a second for Mikal and a first. I feel the same about this as I did about trading Sabonis instead of Myles. The difference in trade value is much greater than the difference in floor value. Mathurin needs to start between two good defenders. TJ needs a rotation spot. Nembhard needs to start. Nesmith needs to go from adequate starter to fantastic backup. Love Hali, what a great guy!... but this trade fixes everything. Makes both teams better.

@bigoledaddyz 4 месяца назад

Speaking to the Jalen Brown foul on T.J.. He did hit him in the face. I didn't think it was a flagrant 2 but there was no doubt in my mind that it would have been a flagrant 1. Maybe I'm wrong about this and don't know the NBA rules. Brown received a technical earlier in the game for shoving Myles. My thought at the time of that foul on T.J. not getting called a flagrant, would have been the 2nd technical foul on Brown sending him packing for the game. I don't know if flagrant fouls count as a technical but if they do then the refs purposely didn't call that a flagrant in order to keep Brown in the game. I don't know if Brown getting tossed at that time would have changed the outcome or not but there would have been no doubt the refs interfered with the process of the game.

@johnraub2207 4 месяца назад

Tony, thoughts on this off-season: 1. Walker and Mathurin in rotation. Mathurin starts at 2 guard. Walker off bench can play multiple positions 2. Resign Pascal. 3. Sign OG Anunoby. 4. Bench is Walker, Naismith, Nembhard, Jackson, Toppin, TJ, Shephard. 5. Let Jalen Smith, McDermott walk. 6. Turner, unless the Pacers change how they play defense, he is a liability on that end. He was exposed badly in Celtics series. As good as he is on offense, not sure what to do with him with one year left. They must improve on POA defense, have offensive sets for end of game. You need a top wing defender to slow the Celtics, if not OG, they need to find someone.

@rgwebb5165 4 месяца назад

Good discussion about the Pacers future. If they keep Pascal, they are in win now mode. But if he goes elsewhere, they are back in build mode. If Pascal comes back, Pacers best assets to trade are Mathurin, Walker, and Myles expiring contract. That would position them to get one more wing which they need to beat the Celtics.

@mugarbelennon1578 4 месяца назад

Why would you trade him

@TheCgehlhausen4 4 месяца назад

We learned that drew is a stud. He may end up the best player on this team before everything is said and done. He needs to come off the bench as the primary ball handler/scorer. It's time for Benedict to take the next step and start at the 2, unless we can make a miracle move like signing PG then move Nesmith to the 2 and PG to the 3. Ben and Drew off the bench would be nice. That would mean trading turner for cap relief, but at this point who cares. He has a game here and there, but mostly disappears and gets out rebounded by guards. Ijax can take that spot. Tyrese Nesmith P George Siakam I jax (or a cheap vet center) I'll take that 5. Drew, shep, mathurin and hopefully jarice off the bench (TJ might be a cap casualty in the PG scenario) but it you keep him also..man we dangerous

@clytnjms 4 месяца назад

I got to say this. EVERY time and EVERY podcast youd harp on and give the opposing team an out when they were injured. You made a big deal about Josh Harts 'ab' injury even though He played 38 minutes game 7 just like i knew He would. But when Haliburton is hurt you dismiss it because nembhardt played well last 2 games and because Haliburton played bad game one so you literaly insinuated that means hed play bad 4th quarter the rest of the series. Thats why Pacer fans think your A hater Man and leave comments sometimes. You BARELY mentioned Mathurin being hurt the entire series and glossed over Myles back needing treatment at different stages throughout the Game. When the knicks lose its because they are tired and there was an early start time. When Pacers best player is hurt last two games it wouldnt matter because he played poorly 4th quarter 1st game and Nembhardt played well. Donte divcenzo made NINE 3 pointers game 7. Alex Burks averaged TWENTY points the last 4 games. But all Pacer fans would hear from even this podcast is how banged up and hurt knicks were ONLY when they lose the game. When they won they miraculously recovered and are soldiers and have grit. Myles being hurt barely even gets mebtioned and not used as an excuse at all for why Pacers lost. And since Tyrese had a bad couple minutes game one 4th quarter you conckuded that he wouldnt have been reliable. Didnt matter that he didnt play because Nembhardt played well. Listen to the podcast. I speak facts. Why Pacer fans think your A hater Man. Just saying.

@clytnjms 4 месяца назад

Wont lie this reminds me of when Carlisle coached Detroit to a 1 seed i believe then they got swept in the eastern conference finals by New Jersey. 2003 season. Carlisle won coach of the year but was fired and Larry Brown hired. Detroit both won it all the VERY next year and eliminated the then coached Carlisle Pacers in the eastern conference finals. Lots of positives. In some if not most ways i do like Carlisle as Coach. But his first season back that Sabonis, Brogdon Levert team set an Nba record for losses of 5 points and fewer. Our host did A podcast on it then talked about how the Dallas Mavericks had the exact same problem when Carlisle was there. A team takes on the personality of their coach. Hes exuding panic and lack of confidence in these close games toward his players even if its subtle and not directly. Ive refrained all year from the negative Carlisle talk but Pacers also led the league for winning teams losing to the worst cellar dwellar bottom teams. We were fortunate to get out both the Bucks and knicks series. Middleton hit that 3 to send in ot when he elected not to foul. Then Tyrese FINALLY hits a game winner after being cold as ice the entire game. Nembhardt doesnt hit that step back 3 in game 3 Pacers most lilely lose. I dont think Carlisle will be, but i honestly wouldnt be surprised if He were fired or moved to front office. At the very least KP needs to look at it. Change the roster. Change the players trying to close but still Pacers are and were terrible in those situations all season. Even worse and more pronounced in the play9ffs. At some point you Absolutely have to look at the coaxh. Mavericks are about to go to finals. The very first season Carlisle leaves they make conference finals after having not advanced to the 2nd round since 2011. Now they are in the finals with a GREAT chance of winning it all. I just dont know man. I dont believe in coincidences.
