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 in the late 2010s and the world’s biggest Lance Stephenson fan, Ryan brings unapologetic energy and passion to the pod. Together, Brad and Ryan launched The Pacers Post Up as a passion project to give Pacers fans a voice in the media landscape. Their goal has always been to deliver meaningful basketball conversation in a way that’s accessible, insightful, and fun. Whether diving into analytics and X’s and O’s or riding high on the emotional wave of a big win, their show strikes a balance that keeps fans informed and entertained. Since launching, the brothers have followed the team from Vegas (for the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament) to Paris (for the NBA Global Games), covered the All-Star Weekend in Indy, and chronicled this new golden era of Pacers basketball with playoff runs to the Eastern Conference Finals. They bleed blue and gold and love nothing more than building community through the game that’s meant so much to their lives.

We Are BACK: Tyrese Haliburton Returns & Pacers Basketball Is HERE
472 days. One unforgettable return. Pacers basketball is BACK. The Indiana Pacers kicked off their preseason in storybook fashion at Iowa State, Tyrese Haliburton’s alma mater, marking his long-awaited return to the court after 472 days. And while it wasn’t a perfect night, it damn near felt like one. Brad and Ryan break down Indiana’s preseason-opening victory, starting with Tyrese back where he belongs — running the Pacers offense. The starting unit found its rhythm late in the first half, piling up an incredible 22 assists on 25 made baskets. But while Tyrese was the headline, Jarace Walker stole the show, dishing out 10 assists in just 28 minutes, including an outrageous off-the-backboard dime to Jay Huff that looked straight out of Haliburton’s playbook. The Pacers got the win, both units showed plenty of promise, and a special night in Ames delivered everything fans had been waiting for. The wait is over. The comeback is underway.

Top 6 NBA Players 26 & Under: Who Owns the Future of the League?
The future of the NBA might already be here. Ahead of the Pacers and Timberwolves meeting in preseason action at Iowa State, Brad and Ryan rank their Top 6 NBA players age 26 or younger — a list featuring two of the biggest stars taking the floor in Ames: Tyrese Haliburton and Anthony Edwards. But where do they rank among the league’s best young superstars? We debate a loaded group of players who aren’t just positioned to become the future faces of the NBA — many of them are already defining the league right now. Who would you build a franchise around? Who has the highest ceiling? Where do Ant and Hali belong? And is the No. 1 player on our list not just the best player 26 or younger… but potentially the best basketball player on the planet, period? The future — and maybe the present — of the NBA is here.

Pacers Position Preview: Zubac, Huff & Nance Jr. Lead a New-Look Center Room
We’re kicking off our Pacers Positional Preview Series with the group that underwent the biggest transformation this past year: the centers. Ivica Zubac. Jay Huff. Larry Nance Jr. Indiana enters the season with an almost completely new-look center rotation — and arguably the position group with the most to prove. Brad and Ryan break down what to expect from each: Ivica Zubac — What does a true physical presence at the five unlock for Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers offense? We talk expectations, projected production and how his game could evolve in Indiana. Jay Huff — Shooting, rim protection and a completely different look behind Zubac. How big of a role can Huff carve out this season? Larry Nance Jr. — The newest addition to the roster brings experience, versatility and another option for Rick Carlisle. Where does he fit into the rotation? We dive into projected roles and numbers, lineup possibilities, strengths, concerns and what success looks like for each player. It’s the newest position group on the Pacers roster — and maybe the one with the most to prove. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Tyrese Haliburton Is BACK + New Pacers SHINE at Fan Jam
Pacers basketball is officially BACK. Brad and Ryan are reacting to everything they saw at Pacers Fan Jam, including the moment everyone in Gainbridge Fieldhouse had been waiting for: Tyrese Haliburton back on an NBA court. For the first time since tearing his Achilles in the 2025 NBA Finals, Hali was back in front of Pacers fans — moving well, looking comfortable and giving us our first live glimpse of the comeback we’ve been waiting more than a year to see. And Tyrese wasn’t the only reason to leave Fan Jam excited. Kelly Oubre Jr. brought exactly the kind of energy we hoped to see, Ivica Zubac gave fans their first look at a completely different presence at the five, Braden Smith showed that he belonged on an NBA court, and Indiana’s new-look roster finally got to share the floor in front of Pacers fans. Plus, we talk about another first-class Fan Jam experience from the Pacers and the energy inside Gainbridge as Indianapolis gets ready for another season of basketball. Training camp is underway. Preseason starts this week. And the Tyrese Haliburton comeback tour has officially begun. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pacers Training Camp: Is Indiana EVEN DEEPER This Year?
The Pacers are only a few days into training camp, but we’re already getting our first glimpse at what this new-look roster could become. Brad and Ryan break down the early notes from camp, starting with a bigger, longer and more versatile second unit — and why Indiana may somehow remain one of the deepest teams in the NBA despite all the changes this offseason. Then, it’s time to talk Ivica Zubac. Early reports about his conditioning have been encouraging, we’re seeing his ability to run the floor and finish alongside Indiana’s guards, and training camp footage even gave us a little glimpse of something unexpected…Are we getting Zubac threes?! We also dive into Braden Smith reportedly adding 15 pounds of muscle, what that could mean for his role and development this season, and how he fits into an increasingly competitive Pacers rotation. Finally, we look ahead to a loaded October for The Pacers Post Up and everything we have planned as we count down to Opening Night on October 21. Training camp is underway. The roster is taking shape. Pacers basketball is almost here. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pacers Media Day: Hali is BACK, Zubac is Ready & Championship Expectations are Real
Pacers basketball is officially back. Brad and Ryan break down everything that stood out from 2026 Pacers Media Day as Indiana enters a new season with plenty of exciting storylines. Tyrese Haliburton is healthy, confident and ready to remind everyone exactly who he is. Ivica Zubac is already talking about how he fits alongside Tyrese, Pascal Siakam and Indiana’s high-powered offense. And after hearing from the players and Rick Carlisle, one thing kept coming through: this group genuinely believes it has something special. We talk about Hali’s return, the chemistry surrounding this roster, Andrew Nembhard’s lack of media talent, Rick Carlisle being Rick Carlisle, and why the Pacers aren’t shying away from their championship aspirations. Plus: Venn diagrams, Swiss Army knives, mysterious bowling references and plenty more from an eventful Media Day. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We’re going around the NBA for a loaded episode of the Pacers Post Up.

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.
