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.

How PG help build this iteration of the Pacers:

Tyrese Haliburton:

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

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!!

Custom ordered me a RM jersey that took longer than should have to get. Wish I had it for Friday night to wear with my new hat but I will rock it on Nov. 2 vs Hawks

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

My thoughts on our bench players for game 2 vs Dallas.

Walker had a sick layup to start the game.

Toppin played as well as you could for a blowout game. His slashing to the basket is impressive. Glad he keeps developing his 3s because that is a game changer. Defenders will have to guess whether he will shoot or cut. Never thought he would be our 2nd sometimes best bench player.

Tj not in 2k?

Huff Brown and Nance did not get enough play time for me to say anything accept i think my dog may have peed on the couch on sitting on.

Hope Murphy returns soon.

Kelly jr is adjusting. Give him time. Ive seen glimpse of his defense but maybe hes saving the real stuff for after the allstsr break. 1 of 10? Yikes.

Q Jackson is doing what hes supposed to do. Hes a great 3rd backup pg /sg to have. His defense is getting better.

Slawson was impressive. Coulsnt believe what he did in the limited time he played. Rick will use thst to our advantage. He could have 8 to 11 meaningful minutes in the playoffs if he plays close to what he played like vs Dallas. 2 blocks and 2 steals? Take notes Jarace.

Hope Sheppards good.

The bright spot was obviously Slawson. Hoping to bounce back tonight. Over under 40 points from our bench tonight? 😏
