Successful road trip... Team defense.. Great Chirstmas gift to fans...Happy to have players back from injurty... Keep grinding... shout out #43VER🇨🇦 #YesCers
This is why... I was never worried. Because they have the same team from last year... kept them together through the hard times... Now were seeing the wins and most important... "The Growth".
Love to see all the negative fans disappearing. A few bad games and everyone wanted Hali, Siakam, Mathurin all traded and saying we sucked. Now that we're winning, nothing nice to say? Go figure. Always appreciate the videos Tony!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Tony! Now 8-3 on the season with our "ideal" long-term starting lineup. Tyrese settling in, Drew bringing elite on-ball D, Benn starting to fit in and upping his D, Pascal and Myles just doing their thing. Thomas Bryant a great find to bring some of what Stix brought last year. Obi, TJ, Shep, and Double A on the horizon! Get past this next rough patch of games and the squad can keep this going in the New Year!
Nembhard's perimeter defense has been sorely missed especially with Nesmith out. Mathurin's defense needs mentioning & has been 1 of the most improved facets of Cers defense as well
trade targets, trade market, rest of season projections (basement/ceiling), Mathurin and Walker "figuring it out" where you see them progressing for the rest of the season, next season...rotation scenarios when Nesmith returns, Nesmith's impact upon return...
Good lesson that these players are all pieces of a full team. We are not just a superstar type team - we are a team that feeds off and needs one another. If that bad stretch helped teach them (and the fan base) understand that then great. Happy Holidaze! A very nice holiday present from the Pacers to the fan base. 5 game win streak on a west coast trip!!! Wow!
Yeah, having Nembhard as that secondary Combo guard. Alongside Hali, Mathurin, Pascal and Turner. Allows them to play more freely. Team's can't single out Haliburton. Helps to have had time for all the guy's to adjust and figure out their best way to play together too. Having everyone healthy is absolutely necessary for this team's success. Because every player plays such an important role. We will really get somw get back once Nesmith returns. I'm sure TJ and some of the older guy's won't mind shaving off a couple minutes to throw at Nesmith/Mathurin's positions. Everyone has been ran ragged and not only did we have a completely new team coming in.. But to have two guy's, bigs we need. To both go out with Achilles tears. Then Nembhard, Nesmith and Sheppard go down.. It's like dammn.. can we catch a break?? We already completely lost I-Jax and Wiseman. Which I feel absolutely terrible for both of those guy's. Jackson had just hit a huge stride in finding his role. Was like Mathurin last year.. then Wiseman, I feel even worse for him.. Because I feel like he's never technically a good opportunity since he's been in the NBA. The Warriors was massive pressure on a young guy coming in with huge #1 pick aspirations. All eye's on him and of course they criticize every single thing you do.. and old GSW guy's had zero patience for him at that time. So any time he missed an assignment. He felt it from all angles. I think he tried so hard to play well. The one time he jumped a step too soon at GSW game. First time he wad badly injured. That effects players mentality as well. Then goes to DET where no one had a chance. This was supposed to be his moment. Hoping Wiseman can recover and still get another chance at some point.
They are playing with purpose and passion again. That’s why this year felt so different than last even though we have similar records through the first 30. We just want them to care like we do. The last 5 games are what we should expect when it comes to playing our style of ball regardless of the outcomes of the games. It doesn’t feel like a chore to watch finally 😂
So what? We have 5 wins in row and a 3 game sweep on a road trip. This is just a couple weeks removed from losing to a banged up Hornets team. It’s ok to feel good about this stretch

We’re going 67-15
Love the confidence 🎉
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Actually 15-67
Mathurin is playing in the scheme and not forcing things. I think he will drop 50 some night this year.
This is why... I was never worried. Because they have the same team from last year... kept them together through the hard times... Now were seeing the wins and most important... "The Growth".
I never knew how important Andrew was until we didn't have him. You never know you miss something till it's gone 😅
he gives them a lot more lineup flexibility for sure
The team known for their depth got some depth back and starts winning again. Who'd have thought?

Every team goes on runs. Season 2nd half will tell ALL
hell yeah if we keep playing this good we might actually earn a shot at getting bounced in the first round!

They needed this run. Unfortunately the Celtics back to back is going to be highly difficult but entertaining matchups

@@daledilbeck9621 totally agree
“People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back!”
Great win!
Pacers gave us all an early Christmas 🎄 present 🎁 🙌 🎉 🎅 Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight! Ho Ho Ho, Ho. 😄
🔥🔥💯💯
different team since nemhard came back
I would like to see Mathurin quit trying to put on a drivbling exihibition!He needs to just drive,seems like he is very undecided.
He looks pretty lost off ball sometimes too.
Steph,Schroder and Draymond were awful...Wiggins 3 is still really bad! GS is NOT a good team!!!right now!!!!
