All Pacers Podcast

The Pacers are officially running on fumes, but somehow they nearly pulled off a comeback against the Atlanta Hawks with what we're calling the Pacers 6. Jack and Sal break down the latest stretch of Indiana basketball, including the impressive effort against Atlanta, a frustrating loss to the Brooklyn Nets, and another tough matchup against the Miami Heat.

Plus, we revisit the Pacers' matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers and LeBron James, discuss what we're seeing from this depleted Indiana roster, and try to figure out where this team goes from here.

How much can this group realistically accomplish while battling injuries? Is there reason for optimism, or are things about to get even uglier?

Unfortunately, we also have some devastating news to discuss. Tyrese Haliburton is set to miss time with a hamstring injury, adding another major concern to an already challenging start to the season.

Jack is out on a work trip, so Sal brought in the reinforcements.

For this episode of the All Pacers Podcast, Sal is joined by his buddies Mark, a Rockets fan, and Lihu, a Nuggets fan, for a three-team NBA Draft featuring the Pacers, Nuggets, and Rockets.

But the real debate starts when Lihu and Mark call Jack absolutely crazy and completely biased for believing the Pacers have a legitimate chance to produce FOUR All-Stars this season.

Are they right? Is Jack officially too deep in the Pacers Kool-Aid? Or is there actually a path for Indiana to have four players make the All-Star team?

Sal, Mark, and Lihu break it all down, debate their teams, make their picks, and try to determine just how crazy the Pacers' potential really is.

The All.Pacers Fantasy Basketball League is officially set!

Jack and Sal reveal the 20 members of the league, all of whom are followers of @All.Pacers, and get into what should be a seriously competitive fantasy season.

Then, the guys dive into the latest Pacers training camp news, including the developing chemistry between Ivica Zubac and Tyrese Haliburton, what Ben Sheppard's diminished role could mean for him this season, and a growing trend around the NBA of teams using two-way contracts on proven players rather than strictly developmental prospects.

For the Pacers, that means Kobe Brown and Jalen Slawson could be two players on two-way deals who are capable of making an immediate impact if called upon.

Finally, with the Pacers' preseason officially approaching, Jack and Sal look ahead to the upcoming matchups and break down the biggest things they're watching for once Indiana finally gets on the court.

How will Zubac and Haliburton look together? What does Sheppard's role look like? Can Brown and Slawson carve out minutes? And what can we actually learn from the preseason?

We each drafted players with some kind of connection to the state of Indiana, whether they were born here, went to high school or college here, played for the Pacers, or have some other Hoosier connection.

Who built the best Indiana-connected roster? You be the judge.

The Pacers are finally back on the court, and there’s plenty to talk about.

Sal and Jack break down what we learned from Indiana’s Nashville scrimmages, including the early chemistry, Tyrese Haliburton and Ivica Zubac looking comfortable, and what the new-look starting five could look like.

Then, it’s time for the big question: Can Zubac replace what Myles Turner brought to Indiana, or are the Pacers changing their identity at center?

Plus, we dive into the possibility of a trade at the deadline, including the reported interest in Trey Murphy III, what Indiana could realistically offer, and what would need to happen for the Pacers to make a major move.

Finally, we discuss the Jalen Duren situation, the reported Sabonis trade framework, and whether Indiana could somehow become involved.

And, as always, we wrap things up with bold predictions for the season.

Nashville. Zubac. Myles. Trey Murphy. Duren. Deadline trades. We're back.

The All Pacers Podcast is back!

We’re breaking down the Pacers’ offseason and looking ahead to where Indiana could land in the Eastern Conference.

First, we give our overall assessment of the offseason, including the Braden Smith trade, the decision to move on from Kam Jones, and the addition of Kelly Oubre Jr. What does Oubre bring to Indiana, and how does he fit alongside the current core? Plus, we hand out our final offseason grades and identify the biggest strength and concern.

Then we tackle the big question: Is Kelly Oubre Jr. the best free-agent signing the Pacers have made in recent history? We compare Oubre to Bruce Brown, T.J. Warren, Doug McDermott, Thaddeus Young, Darren Collison and other notable additions while debating the difference between signing the best player and making the best overall signing.

Finally, we dive into the Eastern Conference playoff picture. We debate which teams make the playoffs, which teams miss, the biggest sleepers, the teams we're not buying, and where the Pacers stack up against the competition. Can Indiana finish in the top six and avoid the Play-In Tournament, or will they have to fight their way into the postseason?

Plus, we wrap things up with our final offseason grades, Oubre takes, Pacers record predictions and playoff predictions.

Let us know where you have the Pacers finishing in the East, and whether Kelly Oubre is the best free-agent signing in recent Pacers history.

After taking a few days to process the NBA Finals, Jack and Sal return to talk about the Pacers' tough Game 7 loss to the Thunder — and the brutal news of Tyrese Haliburton’s torn Achilles. In this episode, we break down what went wrong, what comes next, and how this team moves forward. We dive into offseason expectations for Mathurin, Nembhard, and Nesmith, discuss Myles Turner's future in Indy, and look ahead to a season that might test this team more than ever. It's heartbreak — but there’s still hope.
