Alex Golden goes solo to discuss the Pacers 25-point blowout loss to the Grizzlies. The loss is bad, but nothing was worse than losing two more players to injuries at the guard position. Bennedict Mathurin (toe) and Taelon Peter (groin) exit the games with injuries, and the Pacers finish with 3 healthy guards.
While it looks bleak early on for the 2025-2026 Pacers, Alex shares 3 positives that could come from all of these injuries, and gives his thoughts on the game.

Alex Golden and Mike Facci talk about the Indiana Pacers falling short to the Oklahoma City Thunder in a double overtime thriller. Bennedict Mathurin was a man on a mission and Pascal Siakam was able to score on any defense the Thunder threw his way. Andrew Nembhard did not return to the game after halftime, leaving the Pacers with no healthy point guards. The center rotation continues to be a question mark, but Obi Toppin logged significantly more minutes at the 5 than I Jax, Bradley or Huff. Bigger roles for Peter, Sheppard and Jarace, how they performed. Nesmith fouled out midway through the 4th quarter, leaving Indiana even thinner, and the Thunder lived at the free throw line.

On today's episode of Setting The Pace, Alex and Facci dive into the Pacers projected depth chart, and decide what players belong where. Then, once the depth chart is established, the guys go through the roster and determine what a 9-man rotation would look like, what a 10-man rotation would look like and who are the first players out of these specific rotations.
After the guys discuss the players who will make the rotation and predict how many minutes they will play this season, they read comments from twitter in response to Myles Turner saying that his comments were directed at the front office and not the fan base. Needless to say, the fans did NOT hold back on how they feel about the former Pacers big man.

On today's episode of Setting The Pace, Alex Golden goes solo on today's episode to share some of the comments that Rick Carlisle made at Day 1 of Pacers Training Camp. Carlisle discusses what he is wanting to see from his team at camp, what he likes about James Wiseman, what it will mean losing coach Mike Weinar and what assistant Johnny Carpenter adds to the staff, health concerns for Ben Sheppard, Kam Jones and RayJ Dennis and reflecting on Nancy Leonard, who's funeral they will be attending on Saturday in Carmel, Indiana, causing the team to rearrange their practice schedule.
Lastly, Alex discusses Game 5 of the WNBA Semifinals, where the Indiana Fever lose 107-98 to the Las Vegas Aces, in a game where the Fever were scratching and clawing their way out of a deficit to try and pull off a miracle. With Clark, Cunningham, Dantas and other players out with injuries, the Fever couldn't afford to lose anymore key rotation pieces. During the 3rd quarter, Kelsey Mitchell, an MVP Finalist, went down with a lower body injury and was helped off the court. She did not return to the game. The Fever were also without Aliyah Boston for long stretches in this game, as she was battling foul trouble, which was questionable to say the least. It was a season that ended in heartbreaking fashion, but the future is bright. Alex discusses all about Fever future, what this team could look like and explains why they're just scratching the surface to becoming a championship level contender for the next decade.
