The Pacers are the Best Show in Basketball

[@Will-vw4jz]

As a lifelong Pacers fan, this season feels like a complete revival compared to recent seasons and this game epitomized that exact feeling. To your last point in the video, I think the in-season tournament has extra emphasis for the Pacers. Its playoff-like experience for an inexperienced squad, its a national stage for them to show off the electrifying new brand of Pacers basketball, and on top of it all the $500k/player prize is HUGE for most of the roster. 10 guys on the roster make somewhere around $5M or less this year, so that's a 10% or more bonus (3 guys, including Nembhard, only make $2 - 2.5M this year, so that's a 20-25% bonus!!). Hield, Turner, and Brown are the only guys not getting at least a 5% bonus.

For real man. The past few years and the granger era were rough. I'm just hoping the simons don't screw it up by being cheap.

[@bigbangbasketball]

I feel like the experience from this can be carried over to the post season

[@WillboBaggins23]

Been watching my pacers and going to games for 20 years. Never been this excited. Never seen the fieldhouse so loud. Never seen the city love them like this. Gives me goosebumps. Thank you Ty.

[@MugiOverall]

Tyrese Haliburton is seriously going to be an MVP candidate this season. I also absolutely love the inseason tourney, the aura is crazy.

[@HoopVenue]

Facts!

[@bigbangbasketball]

If he’s not mentioned for MVP something is very wrong

[@ho560402]

This is a great breakdown. I loved not only you touched on Tyrese's offensive genius, but also how Celtics took advantage of his defensive liability (and how he tried to counter them).

[@HoopVenue]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@bigbangbasketball]

Yeah this was a great response from their previous game that had vs. the C’s

[@CMoney-lb7fx]

man the building was so loud during that 9-0 run i seen people next to us so hyped they ended up spilling their drinks and losing their phones lmao bruh it was one of the best games i've ever went too hands down. pacers got something special brewing over there

[@angelozoe4778]

The future of the pacers is super bright..good young players are going to wanna come play with Tyrese this is only the beginning

[@Mbucktheape]

tj mcconnell been doing this since the process! crazy how underrated of a backup pg hes become

[@kellant6795]

tyrese's play this season is so ridiculous he's becoming one of my favorite players so quickly

[@HoopVenue]

Same here!

[@pedrov.25]

The only thing I think I would change on the in-season tournament that would make it even better, would be separate the group stage by division not the prior season position. It would make it even more competitive and would enhance rivalries at the divisions

[@Archemik99]

You can just see players being extra careful running these courts seeing as there has been some injuries because of how slippery these new courts are, they're not running at full speed

[@schuylersavage276]

This is becoming a rivalry im telling y’all

[@bigbangbasketball]

This performance let us know who the better Tyrese is in the NBA

[@kylerborden1819]

mcconnell doing this isn’t random if you watch the pacers you know he is a vital piece for this team and plays like it’s his last game every time

[@nbapbaupdate8338]

Tyrese Haliburton NEW PURE POINT GUARD 💯

[@darinparrish9766]

Great analysis as all ways. I did notice TH carries the ball about 70% of the time when its in his left hand. Not complaining I'm simply making an observation .

[@JordanRichmond-q6u]

Dominant dribble hand

[@TheRealDanPatricio]

he puts the ball in his “pocket” not a carry, as his hand is not completely under the ball, just like how iverson dribbled

[@darinparrish9766]

@@TheRealDanPatricio nah it’s a carry

Hali was sick all weekend. Had to take an inhaler at half time. Curious what the first half would’ve been if he was 100%

[@nicogoat1]

love the videos keep it up

Thank you!

It was a mistake from Marc Cuban to trade Rick Carlisle to the Pacers!

[@leod8489]

Luka was crying about him like he cries about everything

[@IZ7IZ7]

As a pacers fan I feel like I’m in a dream and I don’t want to wake up

[@JOHNNYPMUSIC]

Better playmaker in 2024 curry or Hali & why?

[@HoopVenue]

Going with Haliburton right now, the volume of creation and overall control of the game are just on another level.

[@JOHNNYPMUSIC]

@@HoopVenue agreed do u know any metrics to grasp playmaking other then assists?

[@bnsz8704]

Hali. He actually has teammates worth passing too

[@ollytropics1735]

​@@JOHNNYPMUSICI'm assuming you'd be referring to gravity of curry

As a celtics fan im mileldy dissapointed but we didnt have kristaps so its fine. Ggs looking forward toplaying them next time we match up and great vid like always my boi

Porzingis makes a bigger difference than many realize. And glad you enjoyed, thanks for the support!

Boom baby

[@nolimit4484]

Pacers won’t get it done without defense. Need to trade for 3 and D players. At least 2.

[@king_supreme1102]

They’re not trying to win it all this season. They’re learning how to play winning ball and developing chemistry. They’ll go all in when they’re ready. Now is not the time. They’re still developing a lot of players. Making trades could both mess with the chemistry they have, and put a cap on their ceiling.

[@Aiamnobody]

Great video as always! When the game finished I thought "Ok indiana won, but Boston played better". I feel like Boston was able to touch the right pressure points in the indiana defense (mainly by targeting Hali, Hield and Turner with split actions, pick and rolls, pin downs, delay sets, punch sets and so on...). Indiana sometimes was able to counter that, by pre-swtiching (although Boston counter the counter by setting actions on one side or with ram actions to involve Hali) or fronting the post or hedging or show and recover when there was a screen, but they were not always on point with their defensive scheme (well... they are the worst defense in the nba). On the other side I feel like Indiana won thanks to their unreal shot making. I feel like indiana wasn't able to find a "structural" hole in the Cs defense. Boston surely made a lot of mistake, like not switching when they were supposed to or dropping back too much, or not finding their men in transition. Boston also tried to put their bigs on the worst shooter (not Myles turner), but Indiana then was able to counter by involving the bigs in quick and super fast screen actions. I don't know... but I feel like Boston played better, but Indiana shot like in god-mode. Am I wrong?

[@Helzehen03]

I cant stand to watch Haliburton's hitchy shot.

[@TheDennzio]

and then they have the final 4 in a sterile atmosphere
