The Paul George Transaction Tree

6 Pacers that have some connection in their transactional lineage that goes all the way back to the Paul George for Victor Oladipo and Domas Sabonis deal:
Tyrese Haliburton
Andrew Nembhard
Ben Sheppard
Pascal Siakam
Johnny Furphy
Tristen Newton
I miss Obi.

Jarace Walker, a bright spot, is good to see at least.
December 30, 2025 at 2:08 AM
Pascal’s FT hitch gifts him an airball at the line. Yikes.
December 30, 2025 at 2:06 AM
After a rough start, Pacers have made this one an entertaining back and forth by making a lot of 3s. Really solid first quarter from Jarace in his college town and good to have Nesmith back.
December 30, 2025 at 1:48 AM
Aaron Nesmith with a pair of 3s and a Pascal triple and the Pacers have a lead 22-20 as Rockets call timeout

Jarace has continued playing solid defense to start this one in his college city.

Fantastic stretch on both ends in that quick 8-0 run. Jarace playing good defense on KD, Huff keeping Adams off the glass, forcing difficult shots, and making open ones on the other end.
December 30, 2025 at 1:28 AM
I have enjoyed watching Johnny Furphy play defense and not much else to open up this game.
December 30, 2025 at 1:21 AM
Furphy steal and an alley oop from Nembhard to Furph 🔥🔥🔥

Follows that Nesmith 3 and Nesmith diving on the floor sequence. 🔥🔥🔥

All very good to see.

In S5E7 of Stranger Things, we get a brief scene of two guys arguing about Reggie Miller and Steve Alford.

The date in the show was Nov 6, 1987 which is the actual date of Reggie Miller’s first career game in NBA. He went 4 for 6.

The stockings are stuffed, the kids presents are out, and my annual Christmas Eve viewing of my favorite Christmas TV episodes begins.

Happy Holidays, everyone.

Here's part of Siakam's words tonight - I asked him about his spirit during rough runs of play from the Pacers:
December 24, 2025 at 5:19 AM
At least they provided some entertainment in the fourth

Pacers have cut the lead to 9 with the Furphy Five lineup with 4:34 left. Bucks have gone to Portis/Sims in the frontcourt.

JOHN FURPH

Steals it from Myles Turner and gets the transition slam

I’m hydrated.

Counterpoint on the Quenton Jackson foul: you should be allowed to foul terrible humans like KPJ

59-44 Pacers trail at halftime

Ugly one on the second night of a back to back.
December 24, 2025 at 1:43 AM
God bless Andrew Nembhard for trying to dunk on Myles Turner

It did not go well, however.
December 24, 2025 at 1:37 AM
You would think that even with it being the second night of a back to back, the Pacers couldn’t possibly play worse than they have been lately. And yet…
December 24, 2025 at 1:28 AM
Lol Huff swatted that Kuzma shot to Noblesville and then helped him up
December 24, 2025 at 1:07 AM
9-7 lead for Pacers early. Brick fest from both teams mostly.

Bucks 22%
Pacers 36%

Pacers were up 69-49 with 9 minutes to go in the third quarter. The final 21 minutes of action: 54-26 Celtics. Pacers offense was truly awful in the second half, going 1/20 from three. Five straight losses for the Pacers, who are 6-23.
December 23, 2025 at 2:55 AM
34 second half points. They scored 35 in the first quarter.

Kam Jones, NBA debut.
December 23, 2025 at 2:51 AM
Pacers are 5 for 30 from 3 since starting 8 for 9

1 for 19 in second half
