The Pacers Post UpAuthor: 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. Brads love for the Pacers dates back to the Reggie Miller erathe legendary playoff heroics, the fierce Eastern Conference Finals battles, and the teams 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. Brads wife has been a Pacemate for 8 seasons, and he credits their parents investment in season tickets as a key part of the familys 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 yearswhen the Pacers battled LeBron and the Heat year after year. A proud member of the G2 Fan Zone in the late 2010s and the worlds 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 thats accessible, insightful, and fun. Whether diving into analytics and Xs and Os 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 thats meant so much to their lives.

Halfway Home: Top 10 Takeaways from the 1st Half of the Pacers Season
Episode 346
Friday, 16 January, 2026
At the halfway point of the season, Brad and Ryan step back to assess what we’ve learned so far — and what it all means moving forward — with a Top 10 takeaways breakdown of the Indiana Pacers. We dive into the evolving core, including what we’re seeing from Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard, and Aaron Nesmith, and how their roles and responsibilities have shaped the team’s identity through the first half. We also take stock of the young players — who’s trending up, who’s finding their footing, and what development has looked like in real time. The center position remains a major storyline, and we revisit where our preseason expectations missed the mark, what’s changed, and why it’s still one of the biggest questions the front office will need to answer. We’re honest about where we were wrong, what surprised us, and how the season has shifted our outlook. Finally, we look ahead. With Tyrese Haliburton working towards his return, the front office active in trade conversations, and a potential top draft pick looming this offseason, there’s real reason for optimism — even in a season filled with turbulence. A clear-eyed midseason reset, big-picture context, and why the Pacers future remains very much in play. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
