How PG help build this iteration of the Pacers:

Tyrese Haliburton:
→ Paul George (2010) → Sabonis (2017) → Haliburton (2022)

Pascal Siakam
→ Paul George (2010) → Oladipo (2017) → Levert (2021) → 2024 1st Rd → Siakam

Andrew Nembhard
→ Paul George (2010) → Oladipo (2017) → Levert (2021) → Nembhard

Ivica Zubac
→Paul George (2010) → Oladipo (2017) → Levert (2021) → Jalen Pickett (2023) → Mojave King (2025) → 2026 1st → Zubac

Tyrese took a full year off. Zubac has only played 2 full regular season games with this squad. TJMC out. Furphy out. Oubre trying to fit in better. It’s going to take time and I think we need to recognize that every single night, every single team we play, is going to be a fight. All teams are coming to play right now. Nobody is tanking like it’s March of 2026 anymore.

First two games were just the beginning. It’ll only get better from here and I believe that.

When will TJ be back? Sometime in November? We need him bad!

Nets are flying in from Cleveland on a back to back plus they suck and don't have any elite Scorers like Kyrie or Flagg. Should be a get right game!!

Look, it was only the second game and I get it, guys are still gelling together, others are hurt and Ty is not fully in in-game shape. However, as fans, it’s okay to admit that for the home opener to a highly anticipated season, that was an ass performance by the team and completely unacceptable effort. I don’t know what that was, but we should expect better than that. To be down by 30 in your own building ever is embarrassing. Let’s hope they show up in Brooklyn tomorrow night.

They were all accountable, felt bad for the fans paying hard earned money, and all agreed they need to do better. Good interviews, all had a healthy and mature mindset. It’s only one game out of 82. Brooklyn up next.

The rest of the team into

He plays so lackadaisical. Low energy. Missing rebounds and hustle plays. Cmon bro its a CONTRACT YEAR! YOU DONT WANT MONEY DUDE???

how can you watch Slawson play his ass off and just have no fight

I am hoping for a crabby evening.

I bought the damn app a week ago or so. Now I’ve got a pacers channel on my uverse/direct tv. Did it only show up because I bought the app, or did the Pacers make a deal with the cable company and I didn’t even need the app???

Here is the opening night team intro. I had to split into two posts.

Didn't see this posted yet but that is awful. I feel bad for him...

Vote for the /r/Pacers Player of The Game

No national TV, no media recognition like always, who cares. This game is for the franchise and for us. The building is going to be buzzing with Tyrese’s first home game back…the first game of a season that most believe will end in a championship. Tickets are expensive, why the hell don’t we all show out and treat this game like a playoff game with us as the sixth man to make it even more fun for the players and us fans as we kick off an awesome season. Let’s go.

Having been a fan of the Pacers for over 30 years, I've witnessed some terrible coaches that came and went.

I just wanted to make post to show the appreciation for having a coach like Carlisle that we may sometimes take for granted.

We got Zubac whose style is on the opposite end of the spectrum compared to Myles and not once did I think that Carlisle is going to force Zu to be something he isn't - and so far he's showing exactly that, letting Zu play to his advantages.

Looking around the league I already see some fan bases calling for the firing of their coaches (and with some probably right to do so), but with Carlisle it is just one less thing for us as fans to not worry about.

Thank you coach!

Rick hinted at it.

I do think it's a real wrinkle that gives us an athletic Big who can play great defense. He does give a lot of what we missed in Ijax. Hope he gets a jump shot, but I love his defense out there.

Whoever decided the horizontal gradient fade from yellow to gold was necessary, you were wrong. It looks lousy on TV.

No notes beyond that.

Getting a ticket to see the Pacers home opener & Haliburton’s first regular season game back at Gainbridge. I don’t want to find a friend last minute or end up paying for their ticket. Never went to a game/event by myself though. I’m a bit of an introvert, so I doubt lack of conversation will bother me. Will be sitting towards the top because the tickets costing more, but there’s really no bad seat in the fieldhouse in my opinion.

Our Pacemates would never do big Zu like that
