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 giv…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T18:20:13.785695+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-pacers-post-up-6765923"},"episode":{"title":"Congrats to the N… Nope: The Pacers Comeback Tour Starts Now","slug":"congrats-to-the-n-nope-the-pacers-comeback-tour-starts-now","published_at":"2026-06-15T12:42:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-pacers-post-up-6765923/congrats-to-the-n-nope-the-pacers-comeback-tour-starts-now","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-pacers-post-up-6765923","url":"https://bleav.com/shows/the-pacers-post-up/episodes/congrats-to-the-n-nope-the-pacers-comeback-tour-starts-now/","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/1385/injector.simplecastaudio.com/535cafe0-6a5e-403d-9737-4a21bdd28218/episodes/d8306d30-2a5e-4dcd-ad62-5f11594e18bc/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=535cafe0-6a5e-403d-9737-4a21bdd28218&awEpisodeId=d8306d30-2a5e-4dcd-ad62-5f11594e18bc&feed=Sm5HKYHz","summary":"The NBA season is officially over. The Knicks are champions, Jalen Brunson has his Finals MVP, and yes… Ryan gives New York their flowers. Brad, on the other hand, isn’t quite ready to go that far. In this season wrap-up episode, we discuss the Knicks’ championship run, Brunson’s Finals MVP performance, the conversation surrounding his contract and willingness to take less money, and the iconic Game 4 shot from IU’s OG Anunoby that helped swing the series. But more importantly, we shift our focus to what comes next. With Tyrese Haliburton expected back next season, the Pacers enter the offseason in a familiar position: overlooked. Despite a roster loaded with talent, Vegas oddsmakers and national media continue to underestimate Indiana’s ceiling, and that perceived disrespect could become a powerful motivator for a team with legitimate championship aspirations. The Knicks got their moment. Now it’s time for Indiana to begin writing its comeback story.","meta_description":"The NBA season is officially over.
