The Pacers are officially in scramble mode after falling to 0–3 with losses in Memphis and Minnesota. While Pascal Siakam continues to play at an All-NBA level and Bennedict Mathurin flashed the leap everyone hoped for before his toe injury, the story of the season so far has been injuries — and the “next man up” mantra is getting stretched to its limit. Brad and Ryan break down Siakam’s brilliance, the continued hot shooting from Aaron Nesmith, and the frustrating struggles of Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker (a combined 7-for-35 from deep). Plus, they go glass-half-empty and glass-half-full on the center-by-committee experiment, and what the Pacers need to do to steady the ship before things start to spiral.

0–3 and Out of Bodies: Siakam Shines, Injuries Mount, and the Pacers Make a Roster Move

Brad and Ryan Knight, affectionately known as The Brothers of Basketball, are lifelong Indiana Pacers fans turned podcast hosts who bring heart, humor, and hoops knowledge to The Pacers Post Up, a show built entirely by fans, for fans.

Brad’s love for the Pacers dates back to the Reggie Miller era—the legendary playoff heroics, the fierce Eastern Conference Finals battles, and the team’s lone trip to the NBA Finals in 2000 are part of his basketball DNA. He still vividly remembers watching the Malice at the Palace unfold in his parents’ living room. That deep-rooted connection only grew over the years. Brad’s wife has been a Pacemate for 8 seasons, and he credits their parents’ investment in season tickets as a key part of the family’s shared bond with the Blue and Gold.

Ryan, a few years younger, missed the height of the Reggie era but became fully indoctrinated during the Paul George years—when the Pacers battled LeBron and the Heat year after year. A proud member of the G2 Fan Zone in the late 2010s and the world’s biggest Lance Stephenson fan, Ryan brings unapologetic energy and passion to the pod.

Together, Brad and Ryan launched The Pacers Post Up as a passion project to give Pacers fans a voice in the media landscape. Their goal has always been to deliver meaningful basketball conversation in a way that’s accessible, insightful, and fun. Whether diving into analytics and X’s and O’s or riding high on the emotional wave of a big win, their show strikes a balance that keeps fans informed and entertained.

Since launching, the brothers have followed the team from Vegas (for the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament) to Paris (for the NBA Global Games), covered the All-Star Weekend in Indy, and chronicled this new golden era of Pacers basketball with playoff runs to the Eastern Conference Finals.

They bleed blue and gold and love nothing more than building community through the game that’s meant so much to their lives.
