  1. With Zubac, you have to understand the following:

    • He may not be 100% healthy
    • He was the heart of a franchise and got traded, so he’s likely still adjusting mentally
    • His playstyle does not organically fit into the Pacer’s scheme.

    It will take time for us to get adjusted, even going into early next year.

    All this being said, if I’m Rick Carlisle I’m telling this team to play with violence next year. McConnell fighting bench bigs for rebounds, Zubac reigning over skinny bigs, Nesmith and Pascal yamming in transition, Furphy back healthy, I want to find a spot for Slawson, Hali obviously. It may not be as fast as we’d like, but this team could just destroy opponents if they figure out how to collect themselves.

  2. That transition 3 by Peter was def a legit “belongs in this league” shot. Nice to see.

  3. i made a comment about breen praising slawson on the broadcast as well yesterday on setting the pace podcast. frazier was impressed too.

  4. My first time here but, I just had to support y’all after seeing yall talk with Alex over at Setting the Pace. Yall are awesome- keep blessing us with that blue and gold content!

  5. Slawson is giving me Robinson-Earl vibes so far. He's got stretches where he looks great, followed by stretches of buffoonery. He started with 6 minutes of buffoonery in this game, after that he looked good.
