In Part 1 of our 3-part Pacers Post Up Position Preview series, we tip things off with a deep dive into the Pacers guard group heading into the 2025–26 season. With Tyrese Haliburton expected to miss the entire campaign, the spotlight shifts to Andrew Nembhard, Bennedict Mathurin, TJ McConnell, Kam Jones, and Ben Sheppard. We break down each player's projected role, how the backcourt rotation could evolve, and what key improvements we're hoping to see. Can Nembhard take the reins as a lead facilitator? Will Mathurin cement his role? And what kind of spark can rookie Kam Jones provide? We tackle all of that and more as Indiana prepares for a new-look season without its superstar point guard.

They reflect on an epic Thunder-Pacers series that delivered for true basketball fans, and highlight another clutch performance from TJ McConnell.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are NBA champions — and they earned it the hard way.In this 5-minute Game 7 recap, Rob Cao dives into Tyrese Haliburton's scorching start and unfortunate early injury, and how Indiana's depth kept things close behind Siakam, Nembhard, and TJ McConnell. But it was OKC's defense — led by Chet Holmgren, Lu Dort, and Isaiah Hartenstein — that locked in during the second half to secure the franchise's first title.Rob highlights:3:01- SGA's unselfish adjustment as a playmaker4:52- Caruso's veteran presence and winning plays5:36- Coach Daigneault's masterpiece and Sam Presti's full-circle legacy
Potacast'in sezon finalinde Kaan Kural ve Orkun Çolakoğlu, franchise tarihinin ilk NBA şampiyonluğuna ulaşan Oklahoma City Thunder'ın bu tarihi başarısını ve kıyasıya rekabet içinde geçerek yedinci maça uzayan Indiana Pacers final serisini değerlendiriyor. Uzun yıllar akıllardan çıkmayacak bu maçta Tyrese Haliburton'ın mücadelenin hemen başında sakatlanarak maça devam edememesi, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander'ın MVP ve Finaller MVP'si seçilmesi, Alex Caruso, Isaiah Hartenstein ve Jalen Williams ile birlikte baştan sonra harika bir maç geçiren Thunder'ın hanedanlık kurma ihtimali gibi konular değerlendiriliyor. Özellikle Tyrese Haliburton'un sakatlanarak maça devam edememesinin Indiana Pacers açısından her şeyi değiştirmesi, Pascal Siakam ve TJ McConnell gibi isimlerin sahanın her yerinde doğru oyunu oynayan Thunder karşısında elinden geleni yapması gibi konuların mercek altına alınmasından sonra sakatlıklar ekseninde Doğu Konferansı'nın Batı Konferansı ile arasındaki kalite farkının önümüzdeki sezon daha fazla hissedilip hissedilemeyeceği üzerinde yoğunlaşılıyor. Şampiyonluğun konuşulmasının ardından gerçekleşen takaslar ve gündemin diğer öne çıkan başlıklarına değinilerek sohbet devam ediyor. Orlando Magic'in Desmond Bane hamlesinin Magic için ne kadar doğru olduğu, Memphis Grizzlies'in Ja Morant'ten çıkamayacak durumda olması ile Morant'in yeteneklerinin sakatlıklar dolayısıyla erozyona uğramasının Memphis için etkileri ile başlayan sohbet, Houston Rockets'ın kadrosuna Kevin Durant'i katmasıyla devam ediyor. Rockets'ın, Durant için takasta verdiklerinin ne kadar akıllıca olduğu, Durant'in, Amen Thompson ve Alperen Şengün'ün takımda kalmasıyla hücum yönünde Rockets'a neler katabileceği gibi konular konuşulurken diğer yandan Phoenix Suns'ın son iki senedir kadro mühendisliği ve organizasyon içinde yaşanan problemler dolayısıyla deyim yerindeyse bir bataklığın içine sürüklenmesinin olası etkileri inceleniyor. Programın kapanışında Los Angeles Lakers'ın tarihin en pahalıya satılan spor kulübü olması konuşuluyor. Lakers'ın NBA bünyesindeki en değerli takımlardan biri olmasına rağmen kulübün eski sahiplerinin Lakers organizasyonunu yönetirken başarısız olduğu konuların yeni yönetimle ortadan kalkma ihtimalinin gelecekte ne gibi etkileri olabileceği üzerinde varsayımlarda bulunuluyor.

In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, D Wright, Bob, Chris Johnson and guest Lance Fresh break down Indiana’s 92–62 rout of OKC in Game 6 of the NBA Finals and tee up the winner-takes-all Game 7. They spotlight Tyrese Haliburton’s clutch shooting, Obie Toppin’s off-ball mastery, and Andrew Nembhard’s lockdown defense on SGA, while critiquing OKC’s “laid-back” intensity and lauding Rick Carlisle’s bold move to start TJ McConnell early. Drawing on Pat Riley’s teachings and Dwyane’s own 2006 Finals heroics, they debate the impact of veteran leadership, fan energy as the “sixth man,” and even player fashion risks at center court. Picks are split: Fresh rides with the Pacers, Bob and Chris back an SGA-anchored OKC comeback, and Dwyane goes with the MVP at home. Music Credit: Khari Mateen.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers break down NBA Game 7. Best bets as always. The podcast episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview hosted by Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers dives into the upcoming NBA Finals Game 7 between the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder, focusing on Game 6 recap, player and team statistics, Game 7 historical trends, and predictions. Munaf begins by acknowledging the unexpected extension to Game 7, joking that rapper Drake may be responsible after placing a massive bet on the Thunder in Game 6. Mackenzie reflects on his incorrect prediction and credits Indiana's resilience, noting they've consistently defied expectations. In Game 6, the Pacers delivered a balanced team performance. Tyrese Halliburton, playing through injury, contributed 14 points and 5 assists in 23 minutes. Four starters reached double figures, while Obi Toppin scored 20 off the bench. TJ McConnell added 12 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists. The Thunder, in contrast, had a dismal shooting night, hitting only 8 of 30 from three-point range, with starters going 1 for 13. They managed just 91 points, their lowest of the season. Defensively, the Pacers adjusted from full-court pressure in Game 4 to a more strategic, trap-heavy defense in Game 6. Mackenzie compares McConnell's impact to J.J. Barea in 2011, praising Rick Carlisle's coaching and noting that he's achieved more with less than most NBA coaches. Munaf suggests Carlisle's legacy could be cemented with a second improbable championship, citing his 2011 win over Miami's Big Three. Looking at Game 7, the Thunder are favored by 7.5 points with a total of 214.5. Historical trends support a close contest: since 2002, 62% of Game 7s have gone under the total, with average victory margins at just 6.9 points. Of the past ten NBA Finals Game 7s, only one had a margin over 7.5. Munaf notes that OKC's strong home record and MVP-caliber season from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA) bring added pressure, while Indiana is seen as playing with house money. Mackenzie believes the Thunder's legacy burden may weigh heavier on SGA than any player, contrasting Halliburton's low-risk, high-reward scenario. Referee influence, especially the likely assignment of Scott Foster, could shape the game. Foster is known for calling more fouls and previously officiated two Finals Game 7s, including the 2010 Celtics-Lakers game where LA shot 37 free throws. Munaf warns that if Foster is officiating, foul counts may spike. Both hosts back the Pacers +7.5 as their best bet. They emphasize Indiana's ability to stay within striking distance, citing the last four Finals teams that forced Game 7s after trailing 3–2 all won the title. Regarding props, Munaf favors Pascal Siakam's rebound over (7.5), noting consistent double-digit boards and high minutes. SGA and Caruso are tipped to exceed 2.5 combined steals and blocks, given the high-pressure context. Mackenzie leans under on Halliburton's 15.5 point line, which is near season-low, but suggests parlaying Halliburton overs with a Pacers win if expecting an upset. In closing, the hosts predict a tight, gritty Game 7 in line with NBA history. Both expect Indiana to cover and potentially win, citing momentum, strategic flexibility, and psychological freedom versus the high stakes confronting OKC. Learn more about your ad choices.

Logan is joined by Oklahoma native and Thunder fan Tyler Parker to discuss the dismantling that was Game 6. The Thunder looked great in the very early portion of the game, but things unraveled for them very quickly. What did the Pacers do to make the high-powered Thunder offense look pedestrian. Has the media overdone it with player comps after OKC's Jalen Williams was getting compared to Scottie Pippen? Is there a world where TJ McConnell could be the Finals MVP? If the Thunder lose on Sunday, could this shake up their very young core similar to the past with Durant, Harden and Westbrook?
