TIME to Call the Indiana Pacers CONTENDERS!!

Yo what’s good it’s your man 100 Grand Ross with the rock never stops y I want to talk about these Indiana Pacers is it time that we start talking about them as contenders being at the top of the Eastern Conference potentially the second or third best team in the East I

Want to dive into that in this video if you enjoy it smash that like button for me hit subscribe and the bell for notifications let me know what you think in the comment sections definitely cuz you know we going to chop it up there let me just start off with saying yo

When you have one of the best offenses in the league and then you bring in a player of Pascal siakam’s caliber an all-nba forward two-way player versatile playmaker who can facilitate create his own shot playmake for others rebound defend multiple positions and you surround him with good Defenders

That are already on this team you have Aaron nouth you have Miles Turner and now Andrew nard who’s in the starting lineup with Tyrese halberd now all of a sudden you have four plus to above average Defenders if not Elite defenders in your starting lineup but this isn’t even necessarily

Where I want to hinge this whole argument off of this team has shown when all the chips are down when everybody is locked in and playing hard and going for you know going for it all and I’m speaking to the in season tournament that they have an ability to control the game with

Their all NBA I would say practically MVP candidate point guard and Tyrese halberton you see if you have the ability to control the game you have an ability to ensure that you control it in a way that gives your team the advantage and improves their outlook for winning every

Time which means that in order to beat them you’re going to have to play at such a high caliber that most of the time you’re not going to be able to perform at you’re going to have to be able to withstand the controll tempo shoot the increased Tempo the number of Threes And

Quality looks that the other team is getting you’re going to have to match that and if you don’t have a floor General somebody who can do that well you end up with a disadvantage every time especially when teams are locked in and when we see this high powerered

High octane offense right reminds us a lot of you know the 15 seconds or less Mike de anony Phoenix Sun’s offense you know the uh uh the Los Angeles Lakers you know Showtime led by Magic Johnson flying up and down the court but many times we think of that type of an

Offensive style and we see it as Reckless unsustainable not something that really translates but it usually does not translate when you don’t have the point guard for it but here is the kicker and this is where I really want to emphasize is that many times even

Those teams who have a great high octane offense they fly up and down the court they get easy shots they still understand that it takes defense to win in the playoffs it’s not lost on them the reason why Steve Nash never was able to get there because they didn’t

Have defense they had Robin Lopez but Amari wasn’t playing defense had Shawn Maran but then they had Joe Johnson and kind of a Raja Bell and of course Steve Nash and so they didn’t quite have the defense to overcome that obstacle that hurdle but they still went far they were still a

Contender we still looked at them as a team that almost knocked off the Spurs who went on to win an NBA championship and we’re looking at this Indiana Indiana Pacers team we look at a team that already went through Milwaukee Boston In the End season tournament on

Their way to losing to the Los Angeles Lakers and what’s significant of that is is you you were looking at teams that were definitely 100% trying to win the End season tournament nobody was scoffing at that million dollars to be won uh if they were the winners of that

Tournament nobody was scoffing at that LeBron James was not scoffing at that and so you know everybody was locked in and yet between their head coach their Hall of Fame head coach NBA champion head coach Rick Carlile and Tyrese halberton and the crew they were able to control those

Games and be in it all the way through until they ran into the master game control roller of LeBron James and then they lost but now you insert Pascal seak you insert guys who understand the system you you insert guys who are experienced within the system playing in high leverage

Games in fact you also have probably one of the bigger teams now in the NBA Miles Turner 611 Pascal seak at 69 67 Aaron nemith and then you go to the bench and you still have jayen Smith Obi toppen Isaiah Jackson that’s a lot of size on top of a lot of

Shooting on top of a lot of playmaking on top of a lot of facilitating High basketball IQ bought in culture and system high level coaching when you begin to see all these things lined up you begin to look around and be like well who else has that in

The East Philly do we really believe in Philly who just got the breaks beat off him without Tyrese halberton do we believe Milwaukee has figured that out they just fired their coach who else is there Boston okay cool but you’re telling me that Boston can’t slip you’re telling me that Jason Tatum

Jaylen Brown are so locked in and synced that they can’t have a Bad series and even if you say even within Boston can still beat him still bet on Boston I probably would too but that makes them the second best team in the East that makes them a

Contender remember this is the team that’s beaten pretty much all the top teams already without Pascal seak and now you just upgraded from Jaylen Smith to an all NBA forward from OB toppen to an all NBA forward this team is going to be scary if they get 100% healthy God help us

All because there’s few other teams in the league outside of maybe Denver who you really trust who the ball is going to be in the hands of and then you trust the roster around them you see you trust LeBron but you don’t really trust the roster right you might trust Anthony

Edwards but you don’t trust the roster you don’t trust everybody else namely Carl Anthony towns right and so when you really look around the league and you look at the landscape of things it begins to become tough to say who’s really better than this team now I know you might look at

Oklahoma City how many of us really believe Oklahoma City is built for the playoffs not too many of us but at the end of the day I want to know what you all think who do you actually believe is better than this Indiana Pacers team and why tell me why

I want to know cuz I’m not sure too many other teams can really claim that yo this your man 100 Grand Ross for the rock never stops quick video for you holl at me in the comment section like subscribe H the bell for notifications and I’m out
