'Organized chaos': Pacers offense thrives on trust, flow. Is it enough to win NBA title?
'Organized chaos': Pacers offense thrives on trust, flow. Is it enough to win NBA title? Show Caption Hide Caption Pacers' Game 3 adjustments To bounce back in Game 3, the Pacers need better starts, transition offense, and a plan for Shai. The Indiana Pacers are a blur. For them, no possession is too short. They scoop rebounds and fling passes up and down the floor, looking to destabilize opponents, getting open looks before defenses can get set. Sometimes, their up-tempo offense doesn't even need to come off misses; there have been times this postseason when the Pacers have inbounded passes off of made shots, launching outlets ahead to get free layups. Indiana ranked seventh in pace in the regular season, generating 100.76 possessions per 48 minutes. And, for the Pacers to have a shot to upset the Thunder in the NBA Finals, maintaining that destabilizing speed will be paramount because no team has been better on defense than Oklahoma City. 'They're very stubborn in their approach,' Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said Wednesday, June 4. 'They kind of grind you with the way they play. They wear you down. … 'They know their identity and they stick to it, no matter what.' How do the Pacers do it, exactly? For one, they're something of an anomaly in today's NBA, and, to a certain extent, Indiana thrives on trust — practically requires it. Essentially, coach Rick Carlisle, in his fourth season with the Pacers, has evolved Indiana's offense, yielding in-game control to his players. Carlisle allows them to operate within the flow of the game. He has entrusted them to call plays or even go by feel, having loose actions that players can execute outside of set plays. It's a philosophy based on off-ball movement and spacing, one that All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton recently characterized as 'organized chaos' — and he meant that as a high compliment. MORE: Tyrese Haliburton going to film school to decode Thunder's defense OPINION: Pacers cannot keep relying on crazy comebacks. They must start quicker, finish stronger. Center Myles Turner, the longest-tenured Pacer, in his 10th season with the franchise, has seen this evolution first-hand. 'Rick was a coach that used to call a play every single possession,' Turner told reporters Wednesday, June 4. 'Even Rick's first year here, we had a game where he did that: he stopped us and called a play every single possession. 'In the dawn of this new NBA, especially in the playoffs, that stuff doesn't work. It's easy to scout. But when you have random movement on offense, guys that are someone like Tyrese who wants to pass the ball, it makes the game a little bit easier, especially for a guy like myself who thrives with space.' Tyrese Haliburton is the catalyst It all starts with Haliburton. He's a pass-first point guard, and the Pacers take their cue from him. His default is to get out into the open floor, pushing the pace. He's Indiana's motor, and his energy rubs off on others. But even when Indiana operates in the half-court, it tends to operate with speed — thanks to Haliburton. Typically, he will begin sets with the ball in his hands, while other players rotate and work off each other. Sometimes, Haliburton will feign drives and get into the paint before dishing it to open players. Other times, he'll simply look for teammates in open spaces. But what makes the Pacers excel is a selflessness — embodied most by Haliburton, almost to a fault. Haliburton leads all players in the playoffs with 9.8 assists per game, though he can become too deferential. Indiana is certainly at its best when Haliburton balances distribution and shot-making, but his pass-first mentality trickles down to his teammates, who — rather than focus on iso actions to stack points and stats — work to find the open man. 'I just want to impact winning,' Haliburton said Tuesday, May 27, after his historic triple-double in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals. 'I'm just trying to do that to the best of my ability. We're building something special here. We're having a lot of fun with what we're doing. I feel like I'm at the forefront along with a lot of these guys. I'm just trying to play the right way." 'Better than the sum of the parts' Aside from Haliburton, the Pacers also need players who can score from all three levels. Turner is an excellent example, a center who can knock down 3s just as comfortably as he can lace mid-range jumpers and work in the post. Shooting guard Aaron Nesmith ignited for six 3-pointers in the fourth quarter of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals and backup center Thomas Bryant, who had been out of the rotation, drained 3-of-4 from deep in the decisive Game 6. 'I think the whole is better than the sum of the parts,' Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said Wednesday, June 4, when asked about teams coached by Carlisle. 'Almost consistently across every year he's ever coached, the team is better than their sum. I think that's a reflection of him. 'His teams play a clear identity, stay in character through all the ups and downs. That identity has changed over the years based on his teams, the league trends. But his teams are always in character. This year is certainly no exception.'

Countdown to Kickoff: Jack Stoll is the Saints Player of Day 88
Countdown to Kickoff: Jack Stoll is the Saints Player of Day 88 With 88 days between now and the 2025 regular season opener for the New Orleans Saints. The Saints will host the Arizona Cardinals to kick off their 59th NFL season. Wearing No. 88 for New Orleans at this time is tight end Jack Stoll. An offseason addition by the team, Stoll is our Saints Player of the Day. Let's have a closer look at his background. Name (age): Jack Stoll (27) Jack Stoll (27) Hometown: Aurora, Colo. Aurora, Colo. Position: Tight end Tight end Height, weight: 6-foot-4, 247 pounds 6-foot-4, 247 pounds College: Nebraska Cornhuskers Nebraska Cornhuskers Relative Athletic Score: 7.97 7.97 Drafted: Undrafted, 2021 (Philadelphia Eagles) Undrafted, 2021 (Philadelphia Eagles) NFL experience: 4 seasons 4 seasons 2025 salary cap hit: $1,362,500 An all-state selection as a senior at Regis Jesuit High School in Colorado, Stoll was the nation's 9th-rated tight end and decided on Nebraska as his collegiate choice. After a redshirt year, Stoll caught eight passes as a little-used reserve in 2017. Over the next three years, he'd be a regular starter despite missing some time with injuries as a senior. Between 2018 and 2019, he'd have 46 catches for 279 yards and scored 4 times while exhibiting standout blocking skills for the Cornhuskers. Philadelphia brought Stoll in as an undrafted rookie in 2021. He wouldn't contribute much as a receiver, just 4 catches and 22 yards, but still started five contests among 16 game appearances. Stoll's contributions as a blocker continued through 2022 and 2023. He caught 16 passes for 161 yards in those two seasons combined. However, he made 21 starts and played in all 34 games, appearing in around 45% of Philadelphia's offensive snaps. New Saints head coach Kellen Moore took over as Philadelphia's offensive coordinator last season. Stoll played the year's first seven games under Moore, making two starts, before being waived just before midseason. He was picked up by the Miami Dolphins, where he played four games but caught no passes. Over his four-year career, Stoll has played in 61 of a possible 68 games. He has 22 receptions for 193 yards and has yet to score a touchdown. Stoll will now have a chance to win a role as the blocking tight end for New Orleans. It's a role where he's performed well over his short career and where his best chance at a roster spot lies.

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jac Caglianone (14) signs autographs for fans before the game against the New York Yankees on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City. Royals outfielder Jac Caglianone hasn't had an abundance of downtime lately. Caglianone has worn the jersey of six different teams in the past 12 months. Heck, in the past two months, he's been with the Royals' Double-A and Triple-A affiliates before finally joining the big-league club. Advertisement An off-day last week was spent driving to Kansas City from Nebraska. After a road trip through St. Louis and Chicago, the Royals returned to Kansas City on Sunday night. With a scheduled off-day on Monday, Caglianone had a chance to catch his breath and get acquainted with Kansas City. How did he spend that time? 'Looked around for places to live,' Caglianone said Tuesday at a news conference. 'Been living out of a hotel for a little while. That was really it. Went to a card shop. Just chill all day.' Caglianone visited the Art of Sports in Leawood. Did he find any gems there? 'I did,' Caglianone said with a smile as the media members laughed. Advertisement Caglianone is a card collector and he was in search of his teammates. 'I found a few Royals cards. They had a (Cole) Ragans from the All-Star Game,' Caglianone said. 'I got a (Michael) Massey rookie, a couple Bobs. I got a Bob and Sal of them like celebrating. So snagged those.' That'd be shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. and catcher Salvador Perez. Witt is an avid card collector, so he's pleased his rookie teammate shares the hobby. 'It's always cool to kind of talk about it and stuff like that,' Witt noted. While Caglianone was shopping, he did not see any Jac Caglianone cards, as he noted with a chuckle. Perhaps they were sold out, but you can bet they'll be in stock now that the Royals' top prospect is with the team.
