Brad and Ryan Knight, affectionately known as The Brothers of Basketball, are lifelong Indiana Pacers fans turned podcast hosts who bring heart, humor, and hoops knowledge to The Pacers Post Up, a show built entirely by fans, for fans.
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 give Pacers fans a voice in the media landscape. Their goal has always been to deliver meaningful basketball conversation in a way that’s accessible, insightful, and fun. Whether diving into analytics and X’s and O’s or riding high on the emotional wave of a big win, their show strikes a balance that keeps fans informed and entertained.
Since launching, the brothers have followed the team from Vegas (for the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament) to Paris (for the NBA Global Games), covered the All-Star Weekend in Indy, and chronicled this new golden era of Pacers basketball with playoff runs to the Eastern Conference Finals.
They bleed blue and gold and love nothing more than building community through the game that’s meant so much to their lives.

Pacers Lose 8 Straight (Again) + Making Sense of Furphy, Walker, Mathurin
The Pacers have now lost eight straight games for the second time this season, surrendering 140-plus points to both Boston and Miami over a brutal weekend stretch. Despite moments of competitive play, Indiana once again couldn’t sustain defensive stops or close games when it mattered most. There were a few bright spots: Aaron Nesmith returned to the lineup in Miami after missing time since mid-November, and Andrew Nembhard dished out a career-high 16 assists in the loss to the Heat. But the bigger picture remains troubling as the Pacers continue to give up massive scoring nights while struggling to string together consistent stretches on both ends. Brad and Ryan break down what’s gone wrong during this skid, what we are seeing from the young guys like Furphy/Walker/Mathurin, and what the Pacers need to show in their final two games as they close out a memorable 2025.
