In this All-Star Weekend recap episode of The Pacers Post Up, Brad and Ryan break down the action from Intuit Dome! Pascal Siakam represented the Indiana Pacers proudly on Team World, holding his own in the new USA vs. World round-robin format. Adam Silver doubled down on tanking concerns, calling it worse than recent memory and hinting at big remedies ahead. The dunk contest was a total dud, but the new All-Star Game format had players buying in big: Wemby set the early tone, Kawhi Leonard exploded for 31 points to thrill the home crowd and advance USA Stripes, and games stayed competitive… until Ant Edwards and the young USA Stars ran the veteran “OGs” (USA Stripes) off the floor in the final as Ant-man won his first All-Star Game MVP. We recap everything from the weekend that was in Los Angeles. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

La Californie accueille les étoiles de la NBA ce week-end. Si quelques stars ont déclaré forfait, Wembanyama et Pascal Siakam sont bien de la partie ! En feu actuellement avec les Spurs, Wemby va disputer son premier All-Star en tant que titulaire. Il évoluera dans la « Team World » aux côtés du Camerounais Pascal Siakam ! La preuve que le Frenchie fait désormais partie des meilleurs joueurs de la NBA. La preuve aussi que les vedettes de cette ligue sont de moins en moins « made in USA »... Néanmoins, papy LeBron James fait encore de la résistance ! Nous profitons de ce All-Star Game 2026 pour faire l'état des lieux du basket américain, mais aussi pour parler de la saison en cours sur les parquets.

In this quick reaction episode of The Pacers Post Up, Brad and Ryan dive headfirst into the NBA's $100,000 fine against the Indiana Pacers for violating the Player Participation Policy in the Feb. 3 home loss to the Utah Jazz. Pascal Siakam was rested on the second night of a back-to-back, with other starters sidelined—despite the league's investigation (including an independent physician) concluding they could have played under reduced minutes. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver didn't hold back: “Overt behavior like this that prioritizes draft position over winning undermines the foundation of NBA competition and we will respond accordingly to any further actions that compromise the integrity of our games.” We break down the fine, Silver's pointed statement, and the glaring hypocrisy—why hammer load management/rest when the league turns a blind eye to foul-baiting stars like Jalen Brunson and SGA, or reckless/dirty play from Draymond Green and Lu Dort that actually endangers players? We get into all of it and tease a little bit around the All-Star weekend ahead. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It was a busy and telling stretch at Gainbridge Fieldhouse as the Pacers navigated back-to-back home games — and watched the trade landscape begin to shift around the league. The week starts with Pascal Siakam earning his spot as an NBA All-Star, a deserved recognition for being the steady anchor through a season filled with change. On the floor, Indiana runs into a physical Houston Rockets squad whose size proved overwhelming — dominating the Pacers on the glass and at the free-throw line in a close loss on Monday night. The follow-up against the Utah Jazz told a very different story. With Siakam, Aaron Nesmith, Andrew Nembhard, T.J. McConnell, and Bennedict Mathurin all resting, the Pacers leaned heavily on their young core. Despite the loss, the young guys showed real flashes — energy, shot-making, and defensive activity — offering optimism in a night focused more on development than results. Brad and Ryan also zoom out to discuss the first trade dominoes beginning to fall around the league, what it could mean for Indiana as the deadline approaches, and how the Pacers fit into an increasingly active market.

In this hour, the guys dive into the latest controversies surrounding New York sports and the NFL offseason. The Yankees & Trent Grisham Saga The show opens with a reaction to Brian Cashman's recent interview, where he doubled down on the Trent Grisham trade and contract. The Debate: Cashman calls the $22 million deal a "steal" in the current market, while the hosts debate if Grisham is merely an expensive insurance policy that blocks younger talent like Jasson Dominguez and Spencer Jones. The Roster Impact: Is Grisham's presence stunting the development of "The Martian," or do the Yankees need veteran depth for a World Series run? Giants Ownership & The Epstein Files The conversation shifts to the reports regarding Giants co-owner Steve Tisch and leaked emails connecting him to Jeffrey Epstein. NFL Discipline: A discussion on whether the league will punish Tisch similarly to how they handled other owner controversies, or if the lack of criminal charges protects him. Future Ownership: Speculation arises on the Koch family's minority stake and if they are positioning themselves to take over a local team in the future. Super Bowl Storylines & The "Boring" Build-Up With the Super Bowl approaching, the hosts struggle to find compelling narratives, leading to a "Top 5 Storylines" list that includes: Sam Darnold's "Middle Finger Tour." Fears of a new Patriots Dynasty. The Seahawks/Patriots revenge narrative. Stefon Diggs winning a ring before Josh Allen. 49ers practice facility conspiracy theories. The Kwesi Adofo-Mensah Firing & Paternity Leave A heated discussion regarding the firing of Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and reports citing his two-week paternity leave during training camp as a point of contention. The Contrast: The hosts compare this to Bills coach Joe Brady's comment about missing his child's birth for a game, ultimately concluding that both approaches are personal choices ("to each his own") rather than fireable offenses. NBA & MLB Notes KAT vs. The Critics: A deep dive into Karl-Anthony Towns' statistics. While he is averaging 19 points and 11 rebounds, the hosts note this is his lowest career field goal percentage and effective field goal percentage, sparking a debate on his All-Star validity vs. Pascal Siakam. Reds Sign Suarez: Reaction to Eugenio Suarez signing with Cincinnati and what that means for the Mets' reliance on Mark Vientos.

Atlanta Hawks vs. Indiana Pacers NBA Pick Prediction by Tony T. Hawks vs. Pacers Injuries Okongwu and Porzingis are out for Atlanta. Johnson and Risarcher are questionable. Toppin is out for Indiana. Recent Box Score Key Stats Hawks at Pacers 7PM ET—Atlanta fell to 24-26 following their 105-86 home defeat against Houston. Hawks shot 37% with 31% from three. CJ McCollum led with 23 points and five rebounds off the bench. Nickeil Alexander Walker contributed 20 points with five rebounds. Atlanta allowed 42% shooting with 39% from three. Indiana is 12-36 with their 113-110 home victory against Chicago Bulls. Pacers hit 45% with 42% from three. Pascal Siakam scored 20 points with five assists. Andrew Nembhard chipped in with 18 points with nine assists. Indiana allowed 48% shooting with 40% from three.

For most of the night, it felt like another quiet, forgettable performance. Then everything flipped. The Indiana Pacers erase a 14-point deficit with a stunning 26–9 run to close the game, storming past the Chicago Bulls at home for win No. 12 on the season — their third victory over Chicago this year. Pascal Siakam led the charge with 13 points in the fourth quarter, while Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith delivered clutch shot-making when it mattered most. On the defensive end, Johnny Furphy and Nesmith made key stops down the stretch to seal the comeback. A game that looked destined to fade away turned into one of the Pacers most exciting finishes of the season — effort, execution, and belief showing up right on time.

With All-Star reserve spots up for grabs, the margin is razor thin. Brad and Ryan break down the crowded field — roughly 9–10 legitimate candidates for 7 reserve spots — and make the case for why Pascal Siakam deserves to hear his name called. Despite the Pacers lack of team success, Siakam has quietly done more with less than many of his peers in the conversation. While others benefit from stability and surrounding talent, Pascal has been the steady anchor for a roster plagued by injuries, lineup changes, and constant rotation churn. Game winners. Night-to-night consistency. An elite all-around stat line. This episode lays out why coaches should reward impact, responsibility, and reliability — not just team record — when casting their votes for the NBA All-Star Game. Call it homerism if you want — but the case is real, and the production backs it up. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Part 2 of our midseason report card series turns the focus to the wings and forwards — the most versatile and identity-shaping group on the Pacers roster. Brad and Ryan hand out letter grades and classroom-style comps for the Pacers frontcourt and wing rotation, including Pascal Siakam, Aaron Nesmith, Jarace Walker, Johnny Furphy, and the rest of the group tasked with defending, spacing the floor, and bridging lineups on both ends. We evaluate production, role clarity, growth, and fit — who's delivered, who's developing, and who's still finding consistency as the season hits its midpoint. The conversation also zooms out to examine how this group supports the core, what it means for lineup flexibility, and how these pieces factor into the Pacers long-term vision. Honest grades, fair critiques, and context for where the wings and forwards stand heading into the second half. Next up: Centers — and the biggest questions still left to answer. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

At the halfway point of the season, Brad and Ryan step back to assess what we've learned so far — and what it all means moving forward — with a Top 10 takeaways breakdown of the Indiana Pacers. We dive into the evolving core, including what we're seeing from Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard, and Aaron Nesmith, and how their roles and responsibilities have shaped the team's identity through the first half. We also take stock of the young players — who's trending up, who's finding their footing, and what development has looked like in real time. The center position remains a major storyline, and we revisit where our preseason expectations missed the mark, what's changed, and why it's still one of the biggest questions the front office will need to answer. We're honest about where we were wrong, what surprised us, and how the season has shifted our outlook. Finally, we look ahead. With Tyrese Haliburton working towards his return, the front office active in trade conversations, and a potential top draft pick looming this offseason, there's real reason for optimism — even in a season filled with turbulence. A clear-eyed midseason reset, big-picture context, and why the Pacers future remains very much in play. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Two weeks after giving up 142 points in Miami, the Pacers flipped the script in emphatic fashion. Indiana goes wire to wire in a blowout win over the Miami Heat, holding Miami under 100 points and delivering one of their most complete performances of the season. Andrew Nembhard led the way with a big night, pouring in 29 points, 9 assists, and 0 turnovers, continuing to flourish in an expanded lead-guard role after an injury-riddled and uneven start to the year. His control, pace, and decision-making set the tone from the opening tip. The Pacers also made a notable frontcourt adjustment, going small-ball to match up with Bam Adebayo, starting Pascal Siakam and Johnny Furphy together. The centers did enough in their minutes, the spacing paid dividends, and Indiana's ball movement and shot-making never let Miami settle in. Young contributors Furphy and Jarace Walker delivered strong performances, the ball popped, and the defensive intensity never dipped — a complete team win that showed growth, adaptability, and confidence.
