“I don’t really want to go and get a superstar, we will make our own. Let me tell you, in my system, we’re gonna get further with twelve dudes who will carry a water bottle for their teammate coming off the court more than we will ever get from having to dump that for stars.” -Rick Carlisle when he took the Pacers job…
“That’s the thing though that you don’t understand: by any means necessary. That means I need to be guard that is high in the NBA in rebounds. I will get there. It seems silly but there’s a method to that madness that will take us places.” -Bennedict Mathurin.
I think Ben is taking that leap this year. Seeing him play the way he has in the preseason. The fact that he told Tyrese “When you comeback, we will be better than ever.”
This team isn’t going to miss the playoffs. We’re going back. We’re not going back to the finals but we’re going to ruin someone’s day and the offense will learn to run without Tyrese…which will make us WAYYYY better.
So are we forgetting they beat hurt teams? Like wtf are we talking about? 😂context matters just like okc beat hurt teams Pacers did to it was a fluke season

Hali is a superstar no doubt about it

What talks doesn't he belong in? Did we watch the same playoffs?
Y’all are sleeping on the Pacers. They proved they are a deep team with depth. Anyone who thinks they won’t make the playoffs in 2026 is delusional.
Andrew Nembhard will be in contention for MIP and an Allstar spot.
2014 Spurs come to mind
They gave their only big up
Great take
Good Players making a Great Team. He cooked with this
Pacers will never be back in the finals. They got lucky
When the last championship that was won with good basketball players?😂 9.8/10 every chip needs a superstar player
💯
