The Pacers fall 120–109 to Cleveland, dropping to 0–2 in the In-Season Tournament and officially eliminated from the knockout round. Indiana's big three of Andrew Nembhard, Ben Mathurin, and Pascal Siakam carried the offensive load, each delivering standout nights. But outside of those three, the supporting cast struggled to put the ball in the basket, and the Cavs' balanced attack proved too much. Brad and Ryan break down the loss, discuss why the center rotation continues to be a glaring issue, and explore potential trade targets that could stabilize the position. We also dive into where Andrew Nembhard stacks up among the East's elite guards — including Darius Garland — and why his rise has become one of the season's biggest storylines.

Toronto Raptors vs. Indiana Pacers NBA Pick Prediction by Tony T. Raptors vs. Pacers Injuries Agbaji and Murray-Boyles are questionable for Toronto. Furphy, Jackson, Jones, Mathurin, Nesmith and Toppin are out for Indiana. Recent Box Score Key Stats Raptors at Pacers 7PM ET—Toronto improved to 7-5 following their 126-113 road win at Cleveland. The Raptors shot 56% with 39% from three. Scottie Barnes scored 28 points with 10 rebounds. Immanuel Quickley contributed 25 points with six assists. Toronto allowed 45% shooting with 24% from three. Indiana drops to 1-11 with their 133-98 road defeat at Phoenix. The Pacers shot hit 36% with 28% from three. Andrew Nembhard scored 21 points with eight assists. Pascal Siakam produced 19 points with five rebounds. Indiana allowed 58% shooting with 37% from three.

Brad and Ryan break down a brutal night in Salt Lake City as the Pacers surrender the most points allowed by any NBA team this season — and the fourth-most in Jazz franchise history — in a lopsided loss that showcased the Pacers worst defensive effort of the season. Indiana actually opened the game on a sharp 10–0 run and led 20–10, but from that moment on, Utah simply couldn't miss, and the Pacers defensive effort evaporated. A new-look starting lineup offered mixed results, with newly re-signed Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (on a hardship deal) making his first start in place of the struggling Jarace Walker, and Tony Bradley filling in for Isaiah Jackson. Offensively, there were positives — Andrew Nembhard and Pascal Siakam were strong, the Pacers shot their best percentage of the season, and turnovers stayed in single digits — but none of it mattered with the level of defensive breakdowns that had Rick Carlisle visibly frustrated postgame. The guys close by previewing the final stop of the road trip: a Thursday matchup with the Suns in Phoenix, where Indy will try to salvage something before heading home.

On this episode of Combo's Court, Combo sits down with Pierre Andresen, co-host of Numbers on the Board and on-air voice for NBC Sports, for an in-depth basketball conversation about one of the hottest topics in the game — the overuse of the word “generational.” Combo and Pierre break down why that label has lost its meaning, exploring how the media and fan culture have blurred the line between “great” and “once-in-a-lifetime.” The two dive into Victor Wembanyama's early dominance, Cooper Flagg's adjustment to the NBA, and what separates real hoopers from highlight players. They go beyond the headlines to discuss how social media changed player perception, the rise of “bag culture,” and why understanding basketball IQ still matters more than flash. The episode also touches on Pascal Siakam's underrated impact, the Knicks' defensive identity under Mike Brown, and Ja Morant's future in Memphis after a turbulent start.

The Pacers battled to the wire in a 117–115 loss to the Bucks, capped by a last-second bucket from Giannis Antetokounmpo in a thriller at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. It was Myles Turner's return to Indy, but the former Pacer struggled to find rhythm against his old squad, while Pascal Siakam once again delivered an outstanding performance on both ends. Isaiah Jackson made the most of his opportunity, turning in his best game yet as the starting center, but injuries to Quenton Jackson and Johnny Furphy added to Indiana's growing list of setbacks. Brad and Ryan break down the effort, the closing moments, and what's next as the Pacers look to finally get on the board. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Brad and Ryan are back to break down the Pacers' rough 0–4 start to the season and a road trip filled with close calls and mounting injuries after the Pacers fall in Dallas 107-105. Pascal Siakam continues to do it all, Jarace Walker delivers a career-high 20 point performance, and Mac McClung sees his first action in blue and gold. But a cold night from deep — especially from Aaron Nesmith — sealed another frustrating loss to wrap the trip. The guys look back on what's gone wrong so far, what bright spots still exist, and what needs to change as the Pacers return to Indy for four straight at home, including a Halloween In-Season Tournament matchup with Atlanta.

The season opener had everything — drama, emotion, and a whole lot of fight. The Pacers took the defending champion Thunder to double overtime before falling just short, 141–135. Brad and Ryan break down a gritty performance led by Bennedict Mathurin's breakout night, Pascal Siakam just doing everything, and an unbelievable showing from the bench that kept Indiana in it from start to finish. Despite some questionable officiating and a parade of free throws for SGA, the Pacers showed real toughness and growth. The guys talk moral victories, missed opportunities, and why this team shows no signs of quit despite all the talk of “gap year.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this special episode of The Pacers Post Up, Brad and Ryan dedicate the entire show to Pascal Siakam — a star who far too often flies under the radar even amongst Pacers die hards. From the blockbuster trade that brought him to Indiana to his two seasons of steady impact on the court and in the locker room, we break down why this was one of the most impactful NBA trades in recent years. We look at his All-Star level play, new found leadership, and the way he's reshaped the Pacers into true title contenders. In short - it's time to give Pascal his flowers.
