Can Cam Boozer "pass" the test for the Pacers in transition? My column: www.patreon.com/posts/2026-n...

I wrote about Cam Boozer & whether his fast, accurate outlet passing can further advance how the Pacers advance in transition. Plus, thoughts on the interconnectedness of rebounding and defensive scheme/role. Just a bunch of film, numbers, & more: www.patreon.com/posts/2026-n...

"The Clippers are betting (figuratively) against the Pacers in the draft lottery, but the Pacers don't have to bet against Mathurin to justify why they traded for Zubac or what they could gain in both wins and lessons from these losses" My column: www.patreon.com/posts/pacers...

I wrote about why the Pacers didn't prove anything (and had nothing to prove) in last night's loss against the Clippers, in which they were torched by Bennedict Mathurin www.patreon.com/posts/pacers...

The Pacers lost by 20+ and are 0-5 since the ASB. Relatedly, I wrote about Darryn Peterson (and also just a bunch of different basketball concepts and how they translate between college/NBA in relation to the Pacers).

New mailbag! - why keep watching the Pacers? - reasons not to shutdown Siakam - Walker doing Siakam things - expected changes w/ Zubac - thoughts on TJM-Huff - why a scouted counter from a '22 LAC-IND game applies to now - unusual screen slips - why no gambling ads www.patreon.com/posts/mailba...

She really is a one of one. Learning about her during last years playoff and finals was a small blessing. She’s taught me more about basketball than anyone else

Today marks three years of Basketball, She Wrote. There's been a lot of highs and, unfortunately, a few lows. I'm still my own harshest critic, but I also still believe that -- similar to the Pacers -- the best may be yet to come. Thanks to everyone who has supported me this far.

Hey guys, myself & @samsonfolk.bsky.social talked about the Pacers betting big on Ivica Zubac - How he can enhance Tyrese - What the change in spacing means for Siakam - Will the Pacers still play fast? - Interior friction - Lots of options at center No longer a "big" problem: youtu.be/yq0tPWQyt7Q

I AM HYPED! And since it’s a Bucks game tonight, I’m ready for some venison (or “deer beef”) Samson. 😉😂

Finished a big deep dive on Ivica Zubac. Will be out soon!

The Pacers are going to have a lot of versatility at the center position next season: Rim-roller/hand-off hub in Zubac, "spacer" with Huff, speed lineup with Toppin, or Walker-Furphy-Siakam to go small and switch. Glad they kept Walker and Furphy out of the deal.

It's less than 24 hours until the trade deadline! So naturally, I wrote about what I've noticed from the start of Kam Jones' career in the games when he's played starter-level minutes. 🔗 www.patreon.com/posts/checki...

T.J. McConnell wasn't on the floor when Pascal Siakam made another clutch shot in the final minute of a game when the score margin was within three points, but he played a part in assisting him on the play - even without playing. How? Allow me to explain: www.patreon.com/posts/how-t-...

Stack PnR is evolving in the NBA to attack guard-to-guard switches. When the stack screen defender jumps out to take the ball, the stack screener is slipping to the rim instead of out to the wing - where the on-ball defender would normally filter out to. Creates a longer, unexpected recovery.

Some teams have started blitzing these pistol-flare empty PnR for TJM. Walker surged into the 3-on-2 and finished with his (gasp) left hand. I wrote about this and other changes from the best game of his career, as well as his overall sense of direction: www.patreon.com/posts/on-jar...
