The Pacers Post Up: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Brad and Ryan Knight, Bleav
Brad and Ryan Knight, affectionately known as The Brothers of Basketball, are lifelong Indiana Pacers fans turned podcast hosts who bring heart, humor, and hoops knowledge to The Pacers Post Up, a show built entirely by fans, for fans. Brad’s love for the Pacers dates back to the Reggie Miller era—the legendary playoff heroics, the fierce Eastern Conference Finals battles, and the team’s lone trip to the NBA Finals in 2000 are part of his basketball DNA. He still vividly remembers watching the Malice at the Palace unfold in his parents’ living room. That deep-rooted connection only grew over the years. Brad’s wife has been a Pacemate for 8 seasons, and he credits their parents’ investment in season tickets as a key part of the family’s shared bond with the Blue and Gold. Ryan, a few years younger, missed the height of the Reggie era but became fully indoctrinated during the Paul George years—when the Pacers battled LeBron and the Heat year after year. A proud member of the G2 Fan Zone, Ryan brings a modern lens to the franchise’s evolution while honoring its gritty legacy.

Kawhi & Clippers Chaos + Tyrese the Villain, Myles Turner & a WILD TJ Take
We’re going around the NBA for a loaded episode of the Pacers Post Up. First, we dive into the latest Kawhi Leonard/Clippers drama and how what is happening in LA has a ripple effect to the “what if?” in Indiana after the draft picks conveyed in the Ivica Zubac trade. Then, Tyrese Haliburton: NBA villain? After throwing out the first pitch in Chicago against the Brewers and setting off another round of Twitter drama, we talk about Hali embracing the villain role — and why it seems to follow him whenever the Pacers run into the Knicks, Giannis and some of their biggest rivals. Next, Milwaukee reportedly can’t find much of a market for Myles Turner at his current contract. One year later, did Indiana actually dodge a bullet by letting him walk? And finally… we go FULL delusional reacting to Nasir Core’s latest T.J. McConnell take. Kawhi chaos. Hali the villain. Myles in Milwaukee. And some shameful TJ commentary. A little bit of everything in this State of the Pacers! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Chris Denari Joins the Pacers Post Up: Tyrese’s Return, Zubac & a New Era of Pacers Basketball
The voice of the Indiana Pacers joins Pacers Post Up! ️Chris Denari, the NSMA’s 2025 Indiana Sportscaster of the Year, joins Brad and Ryan for a wide-ranging preview of the 2026-27 Pacers season. Chris takes us inside the move to DAZN and what Pacers fans can expect from the team’s new broadcast home before diving into a fascinating offseason in Indiana. We talk about the addition of Kelly Oubre Jr., what’s next for Jarace Walker, the continued rehab and development of Johnny Furphy, and which young Pacers could be ready to take another step. Then we get into one of the biggest changes of all: Ivica Zubac. How will a true big man fit alongside Pascal Siakam and a returning Tyrese Haliburton? Could Zubac unlock something new for Indiana — and how much will Rick Carlisle actually change the fast-paced style that has defined this team? Finally, we have some fun with Chris: the future of “SMOTHERED CHICKEN!”, his celebrity look-alike, and what it was like experiencing the Pacers incredible Finals run from an entirely different perspective — as a fan watching the national broadcasts rather than calling the games himself. An awesome conversation about where the Pacers have been, where they’re headed, and a new era of Pacers basketball with the man who has had a front-row seat for it all. A huge honor to have Chris Denari join The Pacers Post Up! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Who Will Be the Pacers 6th Man? + Ranking the East’s Top 6MOY Candidates
With the Pacers’ rotation looking a little different heading into the 2026-27 season, one question stands out: who leads Indiana’s second unit? TJ McConnell? Obi Toppin? Kelly Oubre Jr.? Or could someone else emerge as the Pacers most important weapon off the bench? Brad and Ryan break down Indiana’s 6th Man of the Year candidates before going around the Eastern Conference to identify the biggest threats for the award. We debate a loaded group featuring Payton Pritchard, Anfernee Simons, Mitchell Robinson, Anthony Black, Lu Dort, Grayson Allen and more. Who has the best combination of opportunity, production and winning? Which players are being overlooked? And does a Pacer have a legitimate shot to bring home 6MOY? Tune in and find out!

Eastern Conference BENCH Rankings Part 2: Are the Pacers STILL the Deepest Team in the East?
After ranking the bottom half of the conference in Part 1, it’s time to reveal the BEST benches in the Eastern Conference. Brad and Ryan work their way from No. 8 all the way to No. 1, breaking down the second units, young talent and difference-makers that could swing games in what has become an incredibly deep East. And eventually, we get to Indiana. For years, depth has been one of the Pacers’ biggest advantages. But after another offseason of major roster movement around the conference, do the Pacers still have the deepest team in the East? We debate which contenders can survive injuries, which benches are being overrated, which young players could change these rankings completely — and ultimately crown the No. 1 bench in the Eastern Conference.

Mathurin to New Orleans + Eastern Conference BENCH Rankings | Part 1
Benn Mathurin’s brief stint in Los Angeles is officially over. Mathurin is headed to New Orleans, and Brad and Ryan react to the news, what it says about his market around the NBA, why things ultimately didn’t work in Indiana or LA, and now what to expect in his Pelicans era. Then it’s time for another ranking debate. We’re ranking every BENCH in the Eastern Conference heading into next season — and in Part 1, we start at the bottom and work our way from No. 15 through No. 9. Which teams have legitimate difference-makers waiting behind their starters? Which young benches could surprise? Who desperately needs more depth? And where will Indiana eventually land in a conference that suddenly looks a whole lot deeper? Mathurin is moving on. The East has changed. And now it’s time to find out which teams actually have the depth to survive it. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Indy Shows Out… AGAIN! Hali, McAfee & What Makes This Sports City Special
Indy showed out again. Tyrese Haliburton’s Charity Softball Classic, MC’d by Pat McAfee, brought together athletes, personalities and fans from across Indianapolis for an incredible night — and gave us another reminder of just how special this sports city really is. Brad and Ryan recap the event and discuss how fortunate Indianapolis is to have two stars like Tyrese Haliburton and Pat McAfee embracing the city and using their platforms to bring people together. But it goes beyond those two. The Pacers. Colts. Fever. Ignite. Current players. Former players. Media personalities. Fans. There’s a genuine sense of community between Indy’s teams that you simply don’t see everywhere — and events like this put it on full display. Then we get back to basketball. What does Klay Thompson heading to Miami mean for the Heat and the Eastern Conference? And finally…how good is Andrew Nembhard? Because at this point, calling him “underrated” might actually be underselling it. We dive into Nembhard’s growth, his place among the East’s guards and just how high his ceiling could be as the Pacers enter their next chapter. Indy is special. This Pacers team might be too. And basketball season can’t get here soon enough. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

New faces have entered the conference. Familiar faces are wearing new uniforms. And some of the NBA’s biggest names are battling for the top spot. Giannis. Tatum. Kawhi. Cade. Tyrese. Brunson. Who belongs in the Top 5? Who’s being overrated? Who’s being slept on? And ultimately… who is the BEST player in the Eastern Conference?
