It’s opening day for our Pacers, who are in pursuit of their first NBA championship! Let’s start the season out right!

  1. Where you from?

  2. Why are you a pacers fan?

  3. Pacers record/playoff seed?

  4. I’m from Connersville Indiana.

  5. Started watching basketball when Reggie was at his peak. He had me from Hello. From Indiana.

  6. 52-30 4th seed in the East.

I’m doing this on mobile, sorry if the formatting is trash.

    Go Pacers!!!

    1. I live in Westfield now but I was born and raised in Indy.

    2. I was born to a family full of Pacers fans and have a lot of Pacers friends. Been a fan since I can remember.

    3. I’d call 40-44 wins a solid season. They should beat the bad teams but they’re a tough match-up with the top teams right now. I’d be happy with a 6-8 seed and a few first round wins to carry us into next year.

    1. Southern Maryland

    2. Grew up in Chicago watching the Bulls/MJ, but after he left it wasn’t the same. Stopped watching the NBA. Moved to Indiana in '04. Took me until '13, when a date took me to a Pacers game when I remembered how much I enjoyed watching pro ball. Been diehard ever since.

    3. 44-38, 7th seed

    1. I am currently living in Carmel from indianapolis.

    2. Because they are the best team in the league? Do we need to ask any more? I’m a local fan and have biases towards my local teams but the Pacers have always played the right way and never tried to tank or lose on purpose. High school basketball got ruined by the ihsaa with their class basketball BS so the Pacers provide some of the best entertainment value in the state. I’ve been watching since Reggie got drafted and it’s still the best team in Indiana. Every year.

    3. 46-36

    1. Indy but originally from the Richmond area.
    2. Moved to Indy in the prime Reggie Miller years and went to many games in the market square arena days.
    3. If healthy, especially Haliburton, I think they leap into the 4-6 seed, finish around 10 games over .500, and make the playoffs without having to go through the play-in games. Looking at the 2023 teams above them last season, I think the Pacers are better and deeper than the Bulls, Raptors, Hawks, Heat and Nets. Still hate the Knicks over here, and hope they leapfrog them, too. I’d love to see the 76ers implode, too!

    1. Lived in Indy my entire life except for a short stint in LA and going to college in Bloomington
    2. I’ve always been a pacers fan. I have a core memory of the games being on WB and hearing the entire neighborhood listening and watching the games
    3. Hard to predict but I think the pacers are a 5-7 seed this year.

    1. Indianapolis, but Greenwood now. 317 forever.

    2. Was a fan when I was a kid during the Reggie days. Paul George era I was in and out. Then Hali came into my life and revitalized my fandom.

    3. 82-0; championship
