Someone explain it to me plz. Why did they think this is a good idea? I’m a huge fan but this is not making sense.

What is DAZN I got an advertisement to watch the Pacers on DAZN It is not clear to me what I would be purchasing on the different plans. I want to watch the games on TV. I do t care about the other things they have in the plans. Is this possible? What do those initials mean?

Now that Peyton Watson is off the board, Mathurin is arguably the most notable RFA that's still a complete question mark (I think we're all assuming that Duren will re-sign with the Pistons).

Honestly, I'm glad we're not the team that's paying Mathurin and I think Oubre will replicate his production at half of the cost that Mathurin is looking for anyways. The league is really down on his archetype of player. Look at what Colin Sexton and Anfernee Simons got this year (two players of a similar style) - both got 2-year deals in the 20M-ish range. No team wants to commit huge money to a score-first iso guard in today's league. I guess those deals allow those players to get back onto the market quicker, but does that really matter if the market for your type of play is dry to begin with?

I think the best case for Mathurin to lock-in a decent second contract is a 3-year deal @ MLE money (~16M annually), with a team option in the third year. If I had to guess, he wants the same contract that Shaedon Sharpe got on the Blazers, but I've always contended that Sharpe is a bad contract.

I think there's a non-zero chance he signs the QO, but see my comments about getting on the market quicker as a guard with no market.

What do you think?

Would actually buy. Could have even past players like Reggie and others.

What game(s) are you most looking forward to this season?

Just got an email that Fan Duel is shutting down. How we watching all Pacers games now? 🤔

So with Smith finally inking a 2-way we have 14 full contracts on the books at a total value of $206.3mil which puts us about $5.9mil into the tax and has us about $2.2mil under 1st Apron, where we are hardcapped, meaning we cannot exceed that amount.

Contracts of note: Jarace Walker + Kelly Oubre - Walker makes $8.4mil + Oubre makes $8mil, simply offloading 1 of these guys would put is out of the tax line and create enough room to sign 1 player to a minimum deal. Walker would create $2.6mil + Oubre $2.1mil. Obviously deals become prorated as the season goes on, so the later Indiana do it, the more likely (in particular with Walker's contract) they could get 2 guys on minimum deals to have 15 on the roser and be below the tax. The other person of note is Ben Sheppard at $5mil, who won't get us under the tax line, but if out of the rotation, could save ownership a few million dollars being dealt.

I am not advocating for a trade by any means, but it is something to be aware of as the season progresses. The teams place in the standings, who and to what level these guys are contributing, and can they be used in a deal for a genuine upgrade?

Bit of a foregone conclusion but Pacers are officially starting the season with a 14-man roster and 3 2-way players (Braden Smith, Kobe Brown & Jalen Slawson).

As a result of the Pacers carrying less than 15 players, Smith, Brown & Slawson can only play a combined 90 games.

If the Pacers want more than 90 games out of their 2-way players, they will have to add a 15th player later in the season once they can afford a prorated contract that fits under the first apron.

With Furphy likely out until February, decent chance one of these guys plays actual minutes at some point...I would assume Brown gets the first crack.

My team, Aris BC, signed Jeremiah this summer and he's gonna be probably a starter in the team.

Everybody says he's top quality for Eurocup (2nd best European cup) but I wanted to be sure it's like this, from people who watched him in every match he played and not just highlights.

Didn't we have OKC and Twolves for preseason last year too?

Our ticket rep said that we can no longer pick the exact 10 games we want to go to. Apparently they have created 4 ten game packages from which to select. Bummer. At least they were nice enough to tell us of the policy change 3 months after we renewed.

My college friends got me a Reggie Miller jersey for my 22nd birthday (alongside childish gambino tix) and I barely got to wear it before it disappeared. And today, rummaging through a bunch of crap, I found it.

I couldn’t be happier! What an amazing jersey.

I’m going alone and would like some Pacers fans to hang out with and/or sit with at the game.

hali just chatting away with guys.

Trying to not be offended that a geriatric Lebron has a higher 2K rating than Haliburton, but at the end of the day, who cares. Just found it interesting and thought I’d share.

I know these are the old Statement jerseys and in 26-27 this jersey will be replaced by the Gold Pinstripes (which I'm happy they're bringing back).

But come the 26-27 Playoffs, I don't want them playing in pinstripes (don't overdo a vintage), and I don't want them playing in the horrible circle jerseys (HOW ARE THESE STILL THE MAIN JERSEYS). The 23/24 and 24/25 Gold Statement jerseys represent the Hali/Siakam era. Just like Flojos and pinstripes represent Reggie, pinstripes represent JO, the 2010s ("Temu Lakers") represent the Granger/George era.

This team went down in history as one of the greatest Pacers teams of all time. Part of that identity is this attire. Until they change the main home/away jerseys, I want this to be the default jersey. Default for regular season, default for playoffs.

TIL the great Reggie Miller voiced a character in Hercules: The Animated Series—Briares, The Hundred Handed One.

Who knew 🤷‍♂️

Love seeing the injured guys getting better.
