THE PACERS CHEMISTRY IS GROWING!

THE PACERS CHEMISTRY IS GROWING!

Hey guys what is up it is the fast break report here bringing you guys another Vlog and uh this is going to be a hard video for me because I’m trying to cover basically like three games Allin one here but um it’s going to be all over

The place just a fair warning okay I’m probably going to say that’s wrong I I’m just going to call it because it’s three different games but I do want to talk about the past three games for the Pacers because uh I’m G be honest there’s like the game against Toronto

Was a game I thought we should have won uh the game against the Mavericks was impressive and we beat the Pelicans last night uh you know Tyrese and Obi toppen went absolutely Bonkers and speaking of OB toopen I pissed off a lot of Nicks fans today but that’s fine I don’t

Really give a I mean they they can all they want I I just enjoy irritating people on Twitter like that’s that’s what I do that’s what I go on Twitter to do is agitate the out of people I will purposely sit there and say wrong just to piss you off

Okay but I want to talk about these things because the thing is the game against the Toronto Raptors was not good for Tyrese Halton okay that was the first time that was probably his worst game as a Pacer if I’m being honest with you you know two of 11 from the field

18% from the field six uh one of six from three uh it it wasn’t a good showing however with that being said Pascal cakam and Benedict Maan went out there and did their thing you know and honestly you know I towards the end of the game I was a little irritated uh

Because tyres how was missing free throws uh there was just like like I felt like in that game towards the end to close it since Tyrese wasn’t having a good game uh it should have been Ben it should have been Pascal uh Pascal SE yakum had a really good game I

Think he had like 27.6 assists and nine rebounds while shooting 37% from three benedi mathan had 34 like the crazy thing is like we’re starting to see it you know what I’m saying and this is what I’ve been looking for I know we’re only like four or five games removed

From the All-Star break but we’re finally seeing like what this team could be when everybody gets a shot you know uh like for example the Toronto game right we saw Pascal and and Ben go off then against Dallas it was Miles Turner right like Miles Turner finally had a I think he

Had like 33 and8 or some crazy like he was in the highlight reel with Luca donic like if you go on like somebody shared it in the Discord they’re like I never thought I’d see this in my life miles and Luca on the highlight reel thumbnail for for that

Game like the thing is the team is getting better but it’s incrementally getting better and what I mean by that is there’s small little spots we’re starting to see right like Ben Shepard shot five of five from three against the Mavericks you know Ben Shepard’s I’m so high on Ben Shepard anymore it’s

Ridiculous I’m like like especially after his one he had the I think it was the one defensive play uh who he had had he had a defensive play recently where it was the final shot of the game and he just locked the down I can’t

Think of what team it was against but um Ben like Ben Shepard’s a guy that’s like he’s a he’s going to be a three and D three-point shooter you know like I I don’t know if like I I I mean it shouldn’t be a secret at this point but

Ben Shepard’s a guy that like I watch him play and I’m like you know he’s he’s he’s impressive you know like he can shoot threes he’s not going to he shot five of five from three the other night and and was perfect from three um Ben Shepard’s a guy and he plays

Defense very well too Andrew neh hard’s a guy that I’m a little speculative about on the offensive end but when he starts for us at the two our we’re we’re winning games like our win percentage is insane like there are certain things we’re starting to see with this

Team right where it’s like when certain things happen we win a we win games when Andrew neard starts at the two we win games when Ben Maan gets 30 minutes or more and scores 15 or more points we have a very good win or loss uh record

You know what I’m saying like those two guys specifically when they’re involved and they’re they’re playing well we win we win more times than not right Pascal seaka Miles Turner they’re starting to come into their own um H’s gonna be H like we know what halberton does at this

Point like he’s he’s a he’s he’s gonna be a perennial Allstar you know like I don’t think anybody’s arguing that at this point but what I the guy I’m most impressed with is Miles Turner and like you know what man I I you you guys know I’ve been a huge miles hater

For the past three years okay because I kept I like every every video that I made complaining about him I was always bitching that bro this dude averages eight and8 like the 12 like dude 12- six 12 and S is not getting it done in the

NBA for us sorry it’s just not happening but since the seak trade right since the SE yakum trade miles is putting up double doubles miles had 33 and8 against the Mavs I’m like I’m like holy you know like granted I know like I know miles plays well against the Mavericks

He plays well against most teams in Texas it seems CU he’s from Texas but it’s just the idea like Miles Turner is finally becoming the guy that I wanted him to become and I I I I like that I’m seeing all of this now because I know

What we could be next season right with with another year under Benedict matan’s belt with another year under Ben ‘s uh belt with Miles and uh seak and Tyrese Halbert and getting a full year together right and going through training camp together and and all this other stuff

Like I I I look at it I’m like this this team’s going to be pretty serious next year right like if if Ben mathine continues to like take the Leaps and Bounds we want him to make like yes Benedict Maan has games where he’ll go

Off for 34 and then he’ll have the next game where he shoots three for 11 right but the thing is getting Ben mathine the ball getting him involved you know like letting him know that like yo you’re you’re our next man up like it’s time just giving him that confidence to like

Let him keep doing him is what’s going to be the Difference Maker for this team and I I’ve even said it before like Ben mathan’s a knucklehead like I’m just going to call it what it is like this team wins basketball games when they distribute the ball okay when this

Team goes out there and you know like it was the game against the the Detroit Pistons I think like it was the first game out of the allstar break I was like bro we cannot lose to the Pistons cuz we take games off against the Pistons right like

Against Bad teams we just take our foot off the gas I don’t know why but we do it right and it was in that game that I was just like when when we’re moving the ball like that’s how we beat the Bucks four times out of five okay was just

Really really good ball movement everybody getting involved everybody getting a touch everybody just you know being involved in what’s going on Ben mathine has a tendency to that up you know Ben mathine I know he he he thinks he’s the guy he thinks he’s him

And I love that he thinks he’s him okay I I I love the out of a rookie that’s like yeah come with me okay like that’s that’s what I love about Benedict mathine but there’s a lot of times where I watch Benedict mathine play and I’m like bro like you got like

You got TJ I understand T.J McConnell is not the greatest three-point shooter in the world but like you got TJ McConnell wide open in the corner and you’re taking a contested three right and that’s where those are the things that I think Rick gets annoyed with Ben

About you know like we could have really really good ball Movement we get up we get comfortable and then we start around right Ben is a guy who needs to improve on defense and he just needs to make better decisions like I don’t honestly I don’t even think it’s

Really that like he’s a bad basketball player like yeah the shot off the dribble could use use some work okay the the the shot selection his decision making could use a little work the defense could use a little work but there’s something there you know what I’m saying like there’s something great

In there and it’s just a matter of unlocking that in him and even Obby toppen like Obby to’s a guy that like I I understand Obie toppin is not the the epitome of Defense but he’s a guy we’re probably going to bring back like I just

Want you guys to know that like I don’t think we’re going to be able to retain Jaylen Smith and if we can’t we’re probably going to retain Obi toppen but Obi toppen is shooting 40% from three he’s shooting 50% from the field and he’s a guy that’s going to go out there

And probably get you about like 10 anywhere from 10 to 15 points a game maybe even more if he’s having a good night you know what he provides in transition is insane for a team that loves to play transition offense right like I I just have a feeling that

Like things are going to get a lot better and I have a feeling we’re going to move up in the standings too in the East this is just my opinion like the Knicks are injured right now the the 76ers are injured right now um you know

Uh we we we have the ability to to move up I think at least two two standings right like um Orlando’s a team that I’m not confident into you know I I I have a feeling Orlando at some point is going to fall off Atlanta’s done Trey young is

Getting surgery I think I think I read something the other day where like Atlanta is just Trey Young’s having like season ending surgery or some like that so Atlanta’s already thrown in the towel um but Milwaukee is a team that could potentially drop a couple spots

Like if if you ask me Indiana being as high as three is is not outside the r po even two like one is not going to happen Okay like I’m just to let you know like number one seed’s not going to happen number two and three seed are you know

Wishful thinking but we could be as high as four I I going tell you right now like we could be as high as four and if shit’s going really well three or two uh you know we have the fourth easiest schedule in the league Miami is playing

Better as of recent we are currently tied with Miami right now for fifth uh I I the Knicks are injury prone uh you know like ogan and obi’s not uh has only played 14 games for them uh randle’s injured I I I honestly think the Knicks are a little overrated that

That’s my my personal opinion um I I feel like they’re a team that is is maybe a little fraudulent uh so you know like there’s there’s teams here that I think are maybe going to play worse so I’m going to be honest Indiana being as high as the

Fourth seed is definitely in the cards uh you know and and honestly top three and two if they go on a good run is is in the picture too I know I like I know a lot of people think that’s wild and it’s a like an outlandish uh assumption or or statement

But there’s four wins separating Indiana from this from the second seed you know what I’m saying like the the team like we’re seventh we have 34 wins Cleveland is in second with 38 wins so if we go on a a good win streak and let’s say I don’t know Cleveland hits a rough

Spot Milwaukee hits a rough spot or whatever you know like those are the two teams that maybe won’t move down a lot Miami is probably going to move up the Knicks will probably move down Philadelphia is going to move down we’ll be in that four through six range

Definitely but it’s just the idea we also like part of that for Indiana is also C capitalizing on doing well against shitty teams and uh you know that’s what the regular season is for so I don’t know you know we we we we beat the breaks off of Detroit but

This team plays very very well like honestly they’re probably one of the top like the top teams in the East when the ball is moving Andrew nard starts and Ben mathin gets 15 points or more and plays 30 minutes or more a game and when things and things are just slowly

Jelling you know what I’m saying they’re just slowly jelling right now but like I I have a feeling like this is just my personal opinion and I know it’s a year and advance but I’m going to around and say that we’re we’ll be a top three seed in

The East next year and and I I kind of can’t believe I’m saying that but like at the once we get into the end of this year we get into training camp and start next year we have this whole roster together next season another year of Ben

Ma another you’re a Ben Shepard maybe jarus Walker finally takes the becomes the eighth overall pick that we think he’s going to be um could get really serious um so you know I’m just impressed I’m impressed with all the Improvement I’m seeing out of certain guys like especially miles cuz

Miles was the guy that I was like bro if we’re going to get rid of anybody like it’s going to have to be miles uh and miles is I I’m glad miles is proving me wrong because like for you know for the longest time I was like I

Do not understand why Pacers fans like this I’m like I just don’t like I I get that he wanted to he wants to be an indie but I’m like bro he averag is like eight and eight you know what I’m saying like one night he goes

Off for like 24 and six or 24 and8 then the next night’s 8 and eight eight and eight and then he’ll play games against jool and be look like utter dog but he is playing so much better as an Inside Out Center by the way he’s no

Longer just relegated to the three-point line like is anybody else realizing that like miles is becoming an Inside Out Center and I the the acquisition of Pascal SE yakum is helping him do that but it’s also getting him more rebounds you know he maybe doesn’t have to be as

Uh back on defense as fast as he normally would he’s getting a chance to maybe grab some boards maybe get some offensive rebounds so I like it you know what I’m saying like I I like where all this is going um and honestly if Ben Maan can take the leap forward that that

He we expect him to make make or or hope he makes we’re we’re we’re we’re going to be serious we’re going to be serial next year guys I mean we’re going to I I just have a feeling this team’s going to take the League by storm next year especially

With being that like how fast we play and yeah it would be nice also by the way it would be very nice if Rick car rick Carlile could find somebody that could that can teach defense on his coaching staff okay I know it’s not Lloyd Pierce but it is just the idea

Like that that’s should be the team’s like number one priority this off season is not even finding other players like other players find yourself a defensive coach like like what doesn’t Dan Burke play for Dallas or some like that like get get get him to come back get get somebody you know

What I’m saying like I’m just at a point where I’m like I’m tired of watching this team be bad on defense and it’s funny because with the Knicks it’s like they’re really good on defense and they’re they’re pretty good at offense too but like we’re number one or like

Number two in offense and were like you know bottom of the like bottom middle at defense and I’m just like this team could be so much better if they would just learn to play defense and switch on screens and do the correct thing but problem is also Tyrese

And tyes and Ben get targeted all the time against other teams and I’m sick of it I want I want I want people put some respect on Benedict mathine and Tyrese helton’s name on defense but they need to show me that they can do that and so far they

Have not so I don’t know we’ll have to see I mean granted there have been incremental improvements Ben Maan has gotten better at defense tyres halberton at least looks a little more active on defense this year but yeah we need to find somebody that can play defense or

Or sign a player sign a player that can play defense I don’t know get get I don’t know get me a me matis thel or a a grant Williams or or something like that like just get me somebody if you’re not going to get me a coaching a

Coach that’s going to teach defense at least get me a player that’s good at defense so I don’t know we got Aaron Smith Tu going in the next year like shit’s going to get crazy I I know this is I I’m I’m hyping up now but

It’s just the idea like I’m watching all this happen I’m like Obby toppen is looking better like Obby toppen I don’t think people understand how much Obi toppen has improved since the beginning of the year you know what I’m saying like I understand the defense ain’t great right like I think we all

Recognize that but the dude runs the floor he dunks he’s shooting the three at 40% I mean if there was ever in your life to have a decent bench power forward it’s don’t be topping you know what I’m saying so I don’t know man I I’m I’m working on 17 minutes here cuz

I’m getting excited because of all this that I’m like oh this shit’s getting better and that’s getting better and this is getting better um you know I’m just I’m excited for the rest of the year so tell me what you guys think about this down below in the comments

Section below I like helps me out subscribe if you guys want to see more I’m the fast break report and I’m out of this peace guys

So the Pacers last three games haven’t been amazing by any means but the team is gradually improving every game with new guys showing flashes of what they could be every game.
