Would love to be wrong, but this feels like one of those seasons that’s never going to quite get off the ground.

Forced @derekschultz.bsky.social to join me and yap about the Pacers offseason. We got into Turner's departure before looking at the additions the Pacers have made. Plus, rants about insane tweets and bad uses of stats.

There was an incredibly distressing video after the Thunder won the championship where it became clear that none of the Zoomers on the team knew how to open a bottle of champagne, (and had to ask a guy in his 30s for help.) Very distressing, needed to write about the Partying Gap in our generations.

“We’ve got one game. Nothing that’s happened before matters, and nothing that’s going to happen after matters. It’s all about that one game.”

Head over to NUVO and read my story on the Pacers advancing to Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

Had a great Father’s Day at an amazing place (despite 0 runs) and I hope you fellow dads had the same.

When I talked to Pacers players Saturday night about when they realized they could be this good, one of them thought back to 2022. Another 2023, and a 3rd mentioned last year.

The Pacers didn't just beat a 64-win team, they stomped them. No 64-win team had been eliminated before the Conference Finals in a series shorter than 6 games before.

Now, the Pacers are thinking way bigger: www.forbes.com/sites/tonyea...

It’s the next morning and I’m still floored. An all-timer.
The Bucks had a 97.9% win probability with 40 second in OT, according to ESPN.

From that point:
◽️ Andrew Nembhard three: 114-118
◽️ Gary Trent Jr. turnover
◽️ Tyrese Haliburton layup: 116-118
◽️ Tyrese Haliburton FT: 117-118

The play in game is dumb and bad and shouldn't exist but this kind of finish kicks so much ass for a school like Alabama State.

Great hanging with our pal @mathieuregan.bsky.social at the throwback Metros’ game this afternoon 🏀

Appreciate Luke Bosso & Co. for the hospitality and Q&S support!

9-3 since The Charlotte Debacle. A much better basketball team this past month.
By god, the Pacers are over .500. They're 19-18, first winning record since...1-0. They've had to grind to get here.

They beat a bad, banged up team. Normally, not a big deal. But Pacers have earned skeptics for that type of game. Haliburton and Mathurin led the scoring. Free throws were important.

I had admittedly not prepared myself for the “giving up 45 points to the 2024 New York Giants in a season-ending loss” scenario.

Bad football is bad
the bears’ second half, down 3 points the entire time:

- punt

- reach SEA territory, punt

- false start on 4th & inches

- timeout #1 burned with a stopped clock
- they think about it
- 1st down
