Andy Hoops truly those Pacers Heat ECF battles in 2013 and 2013-14 , truly was when the East was really strong , and truly I’ll always remember how Indiana at the time were still the East powerhouses
What happened to ur podcast :(
bruce lau Bulls would’ve been better than both had it not been for injuries
Remember Bron won a game for the Heat with a lefty lay up, if Bron had missed, Pacers had gone to the finals, it was an amazing series and the reason why the world knew Paul George
Highlight of the East prior to this past season. Those battles were legendary
Indiana Pacers fans can now finally see the two players they drafted play together. Lol.
EDIT: Wow, this exploded

Mike I’ll get you banned from UA-cam
@@VictorFernandezBigdestroyer shut up I have seen you in 6 videos fuck off you bitch
play together for the other team 😞
shrek I’ll get you banned from UA-cam for that angry attitude
It's like kawhi and Paul were lost brothers and finally found each other
Except one was non verbal for half his life, so he could never tell the other that they were brothers

Lol
Those ECF matchups with the heat were exciting to watch
Rlly?
As a heat fan.
Dean Tackett it was like what the Rockets were to the Warriors, everyone thought the pacers could knock out the heat
Straight facts. PG24 really gave LBJ a run for his money at that time.
Pacers had a solid starting 5. Just didnt have enough firepower to get by the heat. Would of been cool to see that team in the finals.
Larry birds unhealthy obsession with George Hill happened.
George Hill was actually great for the Pacers he failed to get Paul George more help
Deon Nelson he had help, there was just....Lebron
Deon Nelson roy hibbert was arguably the best paint defender in the league and was a great rebounder. 7’2 tank
@@deonnelson9780Hey, Lance Stephenson was HOOPIN for em. That's help right there.
@@FaithfulFumoFan23 Lance was alright but sometimes he was disaster he held and dribble ball for too long. Plus he averaged 14 points it's not enough.
Do the truth about the lob city era
You the goat for this comment lol
Jordan, Griffin, and paul were never healthy together during the playoffs. Then Paul moved on, jordan moved on, and Griffin signed to be their future and was traded. They underperformed vastly, but they were arguably the best show in the NBA for 4 years.
The one year everyone was healthy we (Blake Griffin superfan) choked a 3-1 lead to Houston in 2015 in the conference semis and never recovered. I believe the clips would’ve beat gsw that year at least in 2015
@@hibachiagent0249 they r just overrated.
That four year stretch was fun to watch, especially with Blake and DeAndre dishing out those ferocious dunks.
Roy Hibbert turning into the second coming of Kwame Brown before our very eyes happened.
Blaise he got exposed how it happened he had his best season and playoff then the next year went absolutely off the map he really just got exposed
Lol at least Kwame had a longer career
ima Astronaut 😂😂😂😂😂 shit I forgot Kwame played long after the lakers bonfied scrub
anthony petre he played like Kwame late into the season because PG-13 Bang his fiancé
Like most big men, the talent and effectiveness of a big man can go away almost overnight without warning on the pro level. I think we all got spoiled with watching big men like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O'Neal, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing and other great centers do their thing for a long time and remain great. Those guys were studs at the five spot. But the majority of big men are like hot rods. They have to either maintain themselves really well year in and year out. Because if they don't and injuries pile up, a big man's effectiveness is immediately shot.
Never should have traded Granger and brought in that bum Bynum. That was the beginning of the end.
Granger was done. His body couldnt hold up. He was injury riddled.
@@TheIcemanthomas Yeah but the team went downhill when he was traded. He was a key presence in the locker room.
@@TheIcemanthomas PG-13 left because he saw that they traded Granger and everybody was expendable
MrDuzaman granger and George equals one or two championship at that timw
@CPGoat #3 Granger was the one holding the locker room together. After the Granger trade, the Pacers barely won half their remaining games for the season. Before that they were on pace to win like 60+ games.
Note to yourself, if the Spurs trade for your draft pick, don't do it cause the guy's gonna be a stud
The only reason they become a stud is because there playing under Popovich
SKT no

As a Heat fan, I really enjoyed The Pacers and Heat Matchup during the ECF. I gained a lot of respect for Paul George and The series was fun to watch.
YSL Gaming bro they killed us in rebounding
As a Pacers fan, I also really enjoyed all of those playoff matchups. But I mostly got pissy about always losing to Lebron (even after he came back to Cleveland) 😔
Thank you for making this, as a pacers fan it feels good when we even get mentioned people always 😴 on us
Just reminds me that management always fucks up and small market teams always lose
robert shelton it was all Larry birds fault
the Pacers are actually gonna be really good this season. the starting 5 looks insane.
PG: Malcolm Brogdon
SG: Victor Oladipo
SF: T.J. Warren
PF: Domantas Sabonis
C: Myles Turner
As a Minnesota sports fan, I feel your pain. We haven’t even seen a championship game across any sport (let alone win a championship), since the Twins won the World Series in 1991. I was born in 1994😪
Austin Hansen I was gonna say the Minnesota Lynx won a title back in 2017 but that probably doesn’t count
Man I remember rooting for these guys. When PG dunked on Bird man that 1 game!!
He became my favorite player after that dunk
@@chaddy9044 Same! Definitely became a fan after his performance during that series.
Their peak was the 2013 season were they took the Heat to 7 games. 2014 they were on their peak in the regular season with spectacular defense then chemistry issues and the death of the career of Roy Hibbert came and their defeat was inevitable.
I guess "smash mouth" was a fitting name cuz George became an "all star"
Welp, speaking of Pacers lost in the same team, 3 years in a row, It's hard to imagine how the Rockets feel againts the Warriors for the last 5 years. Except this upcoming season.
"We are playing the Michael Jordan of our era." obiusly refering to Mario Chalmers
Edit:thanks yall my previous like record was 1 (which was by me)
nah James Jones
Yerrr
Hahahahahha your edit cracked me up

Lool
Thank you Andy hoops for inspiring me to make nba videos and I hope I become big as you one day 🙏
@Cory X GOAT Thanks fam
Hey Andy, can you make a video about jerry wests free agency success?
I totally concur. Jerry West is the GOAT of getting players on championship caliber teams.
Why is West getting the credit for something Kawhi did?
@@JoeBro915 Because he was able to pull it off while keeping the supporting cast pretty great
Meep understandable
When pg played us in the playoff and in the conference finals in 2013 and 14 he was on another level
He was inconsistent
As a Pacers fan that’s where I figured out that Paul George isn’t that #1 guy on a championship team. He’s not a leader
The pacers were cold back then in 2013 and 2014
Fr
They waited too long to pull the plug on Hibbert after becoming a liability on both sides of the court. He looked like a newborn giraffe trying to stand up when he had the ball in the paint.
😂😂👌
I really love that you dont only talk about high market teams, and you show love to all nba teams fanbase.
If frank vogel just kept hibbert on the floor to guard the rim on the last play of game 1 of the ecf, they would’ve won the series.
Jonathan Cruz probably not
Hard to say. I don't think anything would have stopped LeBron that season
I remember that play lebron had a straight line drive to the rim
Asking for Jamaal Mashburn like 25 time man please
AndyHoops is the most underated basketball channel by far!
They seemed to have a chance to get to the Finals.
But when your team is 25 or 24th in offense its almost impossible to get to a Finals.
Exception is 2004 NBA Finals.
Facts bro. They just could never score at an elite level.
Can you make a how good on David west?
I'm glad you used this background music because it was unbelievable and sad the way they fell apart all of a sudden.
As a Pacers fan I can safely say I don't know what in the hell happened
As a pacers fan i can say, lebron happened man, lebron happened
@@polarizedf0x240 and after that good era we had bums in the rotation like Lavoy Allen Chase Budinger Rodney Stuckey OMG so many names that didn t desereve the minutes they got
Niub Plays lebrons stacked team happened
Very entertaining and well put together.Pacers4life. Peace and prosperity tha 317 I'm through man.
Still sad that we didn’t get that Grizzlies vs Pacers finals
The Great Wee Wee underrated comment. At the time the Grizzlies and Pacers were the best defensive teams in their conference and would’ve been entertaining
But there's no way outside of 2k for that happening. TWO SMALL MARKET TEAMS
Two Words: LeBron James

I’m a pacers fan and I remember those days. I was so mad when Paul broke his leg. Also, don’t look now, but the pacers with Vic could be a contender soon.
I've seen some comments state that the Pacers could have the current LAC duo (Kawhi & PG). But they forget that there's no chance Kawhi would have been the player he's now if he wasn't traded to San Antonio and was coached by Popp. That's facts.
His Injury killed their whole momentum. Heading into the 14/15 season PG was gonna have his breakout season like the one he had last. But breaking his leg ended that team and they slowly diminished as he recovered from injury. PG said this was the first time he felt free from the Leg Break so you can tell he was effected mentally from the leg break.
The pacers recovered very nicely from this era, didn’t have to rebuild. I hope someday i can witness them win a chip!
I'll forever remember the Heat-Pacers rivalry during the Heatles era; it was alotta fun
Ahh the Paul George era in Indiana .. things were starting to go right for them then , and also the Miami Heat pacers matchups in the Eastern conference , fun to watch truly , but when Paul George got that horrific injury in the FIFA training camp game in 2014 , we all remember what happened ..
Great video Andy
Andy I have been watching u 4 years and I am still looking for that intro song
They were on the brink of winning a championship, and when PG went down, the same group of guys missed the playoffs without him.
That season after George broke his leg they started the season with 1 returning starter. Everyone got hurt
I haven’t even started to watch the video yet and I’m already getting depressed..
Great video my guy
Yo intro always gives me chills lmao it’s like u know it’s finna be a good video 🤣
Gonna Critique the whole “Barely made it past the Wizards”
They won in 6 and looked like the better team for most of it.
another great video andy! love your work man, keep it up!
Despite stuff like this they’ve got themselves a pretty nice team if they’re healthy.
I remember I went to Game 1 of the 2014 ECF when the Pacers played the Heat. They were such a good team it’s too bad it all ended so abruptly.
You should talk about the rise and fall of Al Jefferson
Dean Schroeder he’s old as shit
If you just look up Al Jefferson a video by swishout will come up and it's kinda similar to what you want
Viper that’s pretty old in today’s NBA... + the NBA has drastically changed since his rookie year (2005).. guy can’t shoot a lick the NBA left him behind
Vogel was a great coach for the Pacers at the time. He was a players coach who they always played hard for, and his defensive schemes were masterful. His offensive strategy was limited but his biggest flaws were his late game play calling and his substitution rotations. The Pacers would completely outplay the Heat at times in the series but the bench would go through long stretches of terrible offense. Those 3 years were some of my favorite teams, they brought it almost every night. In the end, the downfall was 1. Lebron 2. Soft Egos 3. Lebron 4. Lebron
Andy Hoops as always my guy awesome video , and truly very interesting as well
LeBron James can do it again against PG cause Lakers have a Deep Roster rn.
and Frank Vogel went from coaching PG to LeBron.
George hill in that first picture 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The only team that really gave Lebron and the Heat trouble in the east
I mean, the Heat had some great battles with the Celtics big 3
and spurs?
@@davidsantoso2291 the spurs are in the east now
@@davidsantoso2291 keyword: "in the east"
@@davidsantoso2291 Spurs are in the west
Edit: Holy shit three people replied within 15 seconds
This was an awesome video!! You should do one for the lob city ending(idk if you have yet or not)
The kawhi-george duo we all been dreaming about for years is happening now
That 2013 ECF with them and the Heat was very exciting to watch.
Another great video keep it up bro
David West was the real deal of this team during that era. He always showed up at the Playoffs. Underrated player.
Yup, he was the leader who held it together. Winning player, David West 🫡
Vogel's system: Half the offense, DOUBLE THE DEFENSE
D'Antoni's systeam: Half the defesne, DOUBLE THE DEFENSE
Conclusion: YOU CAN'T WIN IF YOU EMPHASIZE ON ONE END OF THE FLOOR (there are some exceptions though-04 Pistons)
makis papachristou Nah Pistons had the offense as well, they just catered to defense more
You mean double the offense on dantione
Thank you for understanding that the Pacers would not of used their pick for another forward. At the time their only back court players were Lance and Darren Collison. They had plenty of forwards at the time, it wouldn't of made sense to add another.
One thing I've realizing in watching basketball games is all about executing in the moment. All 82 games in the NBA regular season, plus in the playoffs, are all independent events. Being #1 means jack sqaut. Your favorite team can go 63-19, then lose in the first round. From a coaching perspective, you have to have a very analytical mind and point out the flaws of the offense and defense of whatever team your coaching and the opposing team. From a player standpoint, you need to have a lock-in focus on every possession and play along with smart decision making skills. So in the end, both player and coach are responsible for the team's success or failure
Do What Happen to the Clippers from "Lob City" to a Super Team
They're not a Super Team
I am a huge Pacer fan and I still believe that someday they are going to win the Finals but right now they're one of the most underrated organizations in the NBA and that's the sad part
Sooo injuries, Kawhi, scoring issues and the heat to sum up
Hardcore Lakers fan since 08 but dam I miss watching these pacer teams with a young Paul George take on the heat
It sounds funny now a days: Roy Hibbert a star. Danny Granger being a star. Lance stephenson playing well and not being the star of Shaqring a fool.
I remember these times so vividly, but it seems so long ago now.
Super underrated team! One of my favourite eras
Love this x
Teams started running smaller lineups against them and Roy Hibbert suffered from it the most
This
I’m a heat fan but boy I miss danny granger a lot, he was a great basketball player and fun to watch. Him and Brandon Roy careers were cut way to short. Those two were underrated ballers.
Dang, Pacers and Spurs was like the Heat's rivals back then
Honestly I think it's funny how no one cares if LeBron makes a super team but everyone gets butthurt when the warriors made a super team.
The pacers to the heat, are basically the rockets to the warriors...good team that just couldn't get over the hump.
Game 5 of the 2014 ECF was one of the greatest games I’ve ever seen, and this is coming from a Heat fan
We were obsessed with George Hill. I loved him when he was here. We're in good shape now with Oladipo so. If Danny Granger never got hurt we probably would've done it and/or if we kept the Kawhi Leonard pick.
Can we just call it the “Blue Collar, Gold Swagger” era because as a Pacers fan, there’s a way to leave a team and way not to: George is a great example of what not to do (I.E. him leaking his trade demand to the press because “I don’t want to play with a bunch of nobodies” then being surprised that Indiana fans still don’t like him)
Next video about the 2016 free agency?
The Pacers had a chance until all the rumors started flying around in 2014. I had season tickets, watched them go from having the greatest chemistry to the complete opposite. Along with Roy Hibbert being nowhere seen on the stat sheet. 0 rebounds?? Man I'm starting to get in my feels
The truth is they had a legit contending team that was good enough to win a title. But they just got unlucky they ran into lebron in his prime. They were a pretty good team at the time with alot of good pieces. Lebron was just that damn good during that time. He was unreal in that nba finals when kyrie and love were down.
Could have PG13 & KAWHI duo..
They are now
Great video! I think that management simply wasn't aggressive enough and were one good trade away from a championship.
Is crazy how PG and kiwhi were supposed to be drafted on the same team but years later they both negotiate to be on the same team
The Pacers' title chances when PG's leg made a 90 degree angle.
philly_ sports and last time I checked your Sixers won 16 games in 2014-15 and started 0-17
1. Roy Hibbert falling off
2. Paul George Injury in an Olympics scrimmage
3. LeBron James
Lmaozoo Frank Vogel really went from criticizing LeBron to coaching LeBron 😂
The Pacers never had any window to win the championship during that time. As long as LeBron was in the Eastern Conference, he was the sheriff, and no one was getting past him.
Great video
Bro. Pre injury PG was a beast. In those days, u knew they were gonna be great if that trajectory kept up.
Injury bug got him. Somehow, Hibbert fizzled out. Can't even rebound anymore.
Never thought I’d hear someone say Roy Hibbert was leading a team on offense but that’s what I get for not watching basketball before 2015
I wonder what would happened if McMillan was the head coach instead of Vogel
How would pg doing that impact Roy
Pacers fan here, appreciate the vid
With Griezmann now at Barcelona, the club won't have enough funds to bring Neymar outright. They have to sell Dembele, Coutinho, and Rakitic to make it happen.
Then again, I'm satisfied with Griezmann taking over Suarez's spot in the foreseeable future.
It was a combination of things. The trading of Granger, whatever PG did with Roy's girl, and lastly the immaturity of Lance
I think I remember from game 2 of the 2013 ECFs or the year before when Paul George had his break out game in the 3rd. quarter. PG went off, threw down two monster dunks (I think one of them was within LBJ's vicinity). After the end of the 3rd. quarter, LBJ went over and congratulated PG. Although Indiana won that game, I felt that PG should have ignored the gesture. I liked how the Greek Freak - Giannis Antetokounmpo preferred not to attend one of LBJ's summer practices one year. Because sometimes I think great players like LBJ glean and learn from his opponents by being gracious at times by inviting them to play with him at these pick up games.
Btw never seen KG backdown like that 4:18 ... I guess West really had that don't fuck wit me reputation
Very few players in the NBA carried a team like paul george with the pacers. I can only think of, LeBron carrying the cavs in his first stint best of all is Kawhi with raptors and kobe with the Lakers. But very few single players have carried sorry ass teams to a conf finals or further.
If Lebron wasn’t there to stop us every year we could’ve won at least 1🤧
logan kibby Nah the Spurs would’ve dismantled y’all lol
X02Overdose aye man let me dream🤣
