The Pacers incredible postseason run comes to a painful end in Game 7, falling just short of an NBA title. We react to the emotional loss, break down what went wrong in the 2nd half, and discuss the devastating impact of Tyrese Haliburton’s injury in the biggest game of his career. But this episode is about more than just the final score. We reflect on what this playoff run has meant — for the city of Indianapolis, the fan base, and the franchise. From Haliburton’s star-making moments, to the pride of reuniting the city around basketball again, this team gave Indiana something special. It wasn’t the ending we dreamed of, but it will go down as the most memorable Pacers season in history.

It all comes down to this. The Pacers and Thunder are headed to a winner-take-all Game 7 in Oklahoma City, and The Pacers Post Up crew is here to break it all down. We dive into what the Pacers need to do to finish the job—Haliburton and Siakam’s leadership, the importance of the collective, and which X-factors could tip the scales. We also talk Game 6 takeaways, Indy’s playoff resilience, and how this team has positioned itself one win away from basketball immortality. No more adjustments. No more talk. It’s time.
