2025 Pacers vs 2027 Pacers: Which Team Wins? Getting Back to the NBA Finals

Alex Golden and Mike Facci are back with a fascinating discussion centered around one simple question:

Are the Indiana Pacers better today than the team that reached the NBA Finals in 2025?

The guys take a deep dive into how the roster has changed, what additions and departures have meant for the team's outlook, and whether Indiana is actually better positioned to make another Finals run than they were a year ago.

Topics discussed include:

• Health of Haliburton. Can he return to the greatness he displayed last season?
• How much Ivica Zubac changes the ceiling of this team
• The growth and development of the younger players
• Whether Indiana has improved enough to return to the NBA Finals
• How the current roster stacks up against the 2025 Finals squad
• Which areas are stronger today and which areas may have taken a step back

Alex and Facci also discuss the Eastern Conference landscape and whether the Pacers are better equipped to handle the challenges that await them than they were during their previous Finals run.

A fun offseason exercise that compares two different versions of the Pacers and asks the ultimate question: Is this team actually better than the one that made the Finals?
