MAIL TIME! Alex Golden and Mike Facci answer Part 2 of the MAILBAG questions! 

 

6). Indiana Media @ColtsMediaGuy

Question: Where do you rank this team at in the standings without Tyrese Haliburton?

Hot Take: Indiana Pacers beat the Cleveland Cavaliers to advance to the NBA Finals. For this to happen Pacers would need to beat either Pistons or Bucks first round, Celtics the second round which is possible, Knicks ain’t beating the Cavs!


 

7). The Roost Man aka Rooster aka Kevin Prtichard’s Biggest Fan

Everyone talks about a consolidation trade. And while I prefer to see how the young guys develop, give me a list of 5-10 players who you think would be worth giving up 2 or 3 of our young guys plus a first or two.
 

 

8). Pacers Faithful — HOT TAKE REACTION

Hot takes:  Jarace is better suited as a 3 due to his skillset, size, and lack of physicality.  Nembhard isn’t a true pg and is in the perfect spot as a combo guard next to Ty rather than being a true point guard.


 

9). Psycho T 

Increase Jarace’s minutes at the expense of Obi? The knock on Jarace is “dependability” but do we really trust Obi that much more?  I love Obi but he can’t create his own shot & is a major defensive liability without the upside of Walker


 

10). Matthew Peck

The Pacers are consistently a poor defensive team.  They have periods of time they do defend @ a high level but often fall back to poor defense.  In your opinions is this a player/talent issue or is it the scheme that coaching uses?
