Summary

Alex Golden and Mike Facci are back with a wide-ranging episode of Setting The Pace. The guys open the show with the unfortunate news of Donte DiVincenzo tearing his Achilles, and have a little fun (or concern?) discussing whether the #0 jersey might be cursed. From there, they zoom out to look at the Eastern Conference landscape, breaking down how teams have performed and where Indiana might stack up. That leads to a big “what if” conversation: How far could the Pacers have gone with a fully healthy Tyrese Haliburton? To close things out, Alex and Facci focus on roster construction — specifically identifying the backup center position as Indiana’s biggest weakness and discussing potential trade targets to address it. A little bit of everything: injuries, hypotheticals and roster building.
