“People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back!”
Love to see all the negative fans disappearing. A few bad games and everyone wanted Hali, Siakam, Mathurin all traded and saying we sucked. Now that we're winning, nothing nice to say? Go figure.
Always appreciate the videos Tony!
Great win!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Tony! Now 8-3 on the season with our "ideal" long-term starting lineup. Tyrese settling in, Drew bringing elite on-ball D, Benn starting to fit in and upping his D, Pascal and Myles just doing their thing. Thomas Bryant a great find to bring some of what Stix brought last year. Obi, TJ, Shep, and Double A on the horizon! Get past this next rough patch of games and the squad can keep this going in the New Year!
Nembhard's perimeter defense has been sorely missed especially with Nesmith out. Mathurin's defense needs mentioning & has been 1 of the most improved facets of Cers defense as well
I never knew how important Andrew was until we didn't have him. You never know you miss something till it's gone 😅
They needed this run. Unfortunately the Celtics back to back is going to be highly difficult but entertaining matchups
Good lesson that these players are all pieces of a full team. We are not just a superstar type team – we are a team that feeds off and needs one another. If that bad stretch helped teach them (and the fan base) understand that then great. Happy Holidaze! A very nice holiday present from the Pacers to the fan base. 5 game win streak on a west coast trip!!! Wow!
This is why… I was never worried. Because they have the same team from last year… kept them together through the hard times… Now were seeing the wins and most important… "The Growth".
Steph,Schroder and Draymond were awful…Wiggins 3 is still really bad! GS is NOT a good team!!!right now!!!!
I would like to see Mathurin quit trying to put on a drivbling exihibition!He needs to just drive,seems like he is very undecided.
They are playing with purpose and passion again. That’s why this year felt so different than last even though we have similar records through the first 30. We just want them to care like we do. The last 5 games are what we should expect when it comes to playing our style of ball regardless of the outcomes of the games. It doesn’t feel like a chore to watch finally 😂
thank god i have something to watch. go pacers!
The team known for their depth got some depth back and starts winning again. Who'd have thought?
trade targets, trade market, rest of season projections (basement/ceiling), Mathurin and Walker "figuring it out" where you see them progressing for the rest of the season, next season…rotation scenarios when Nesmith returns, Nesmith's impact upon return…
Mathurin is playing in the scheme and not forcing things. I think he will drop 50 some night this year.
