Setting The Pace: A Pacers Podcast

UGH! Yeah, that's right. The Indiana Pacers looked absolutely putrid in their efforts against the Hornets (with the exception of McConnell and Walker), so Alex Golden and Facci discuss: the game, the lackluster effort, getting beaten by a team on the 2nd night of a back-to-back and how the Pacers progress from Friday against Chicago is forgettable with another disgusting performance. Tune in to join our misery and thoughts on the team!

Did the Pacers make the right move doubling down on this roster?

Alex and Facci are back to recap a tough loss to the best in the West, the Oklahoma City Thunder. In this game, Tyrese Haliburton did his far too often disappearing act, and only had 6 shot attempts for 4 points on the night. Meanwhile, superstar point guard, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dropped 45 points on 15-22 shooting.

The guys discuss the biggest factors: Points in the Paint, Turnovers and Points off Turnovers. They dive into what is up with Haliburton, Mathurin's last 11 games and falling off offensively in the 2nd half, Turner's inefficient shooting night (specifically from 3), Siakam once again being too quiet in the 2nd half, Jarace Walker's highlight plays and how else he impacted the game, Obi Toppin's injury and a tough schedule tp end the calendar year with two games in Boston and Milwaukee at home.

Thunder Strike Last Versus Pacers

Alex Golden and Mike Facci unite to discuss the Pacers 8th road win of the season, as they take the season series against Boston, winning 2 games out of 3. Tyrese Haliburton was sensational with 31 points and 7 assists, Andrew Nembhard had a near triple-double with 17 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists and 6 players scored in double figures to help stop multiple Celtics runs. Indiana also dominated the points in the paint and got to the foul line at a higher clip than Boston. Overall, a great team win a great game to discuss!
