Former sports scribe turned legal mind. I used to write about the Pacers. Now I tweet about the Pacers. No, I cannot represent you.

@jlh0215 @XLevelOnline That’s the spirit. Welcome to the First Pacers Church of Hopelessness and Despair.

[Jon R. LaFollette @JonLawFilet]

I’m old enough to remember a healthy contingent of Pacers fans on this stupid app cheering the fact Haliburton made the All-Star game during a lost season when the team should have otherwise been tanking harder for Wemby.

Instead they got Jerace Walker.

Remember: It ain’t the despair that gets you, it’s the hope.

[Jon R. LaFollette @JonLawFilet]

Who am I kidding, the NBA will never allow nice things to happen to the Pacers.

They had a one-year window to win it all, and Hali’s achilles turned to spaghetti at the most crucial moment.

Now it’s Wemby’s league; and Walker has yet to play a meaningful minute of NBA ball.

@MillerTimePod lol everything still sucks

[Jon R. LaFollette @JonLawFilet]

I love Dave like a brother.

Tonight was difficult. But having a friend like Dave makes difficult days more bearable.

My old podcast partner @JonLawFilet used to tweet this after every major championship game. He meant it.

At the dawn of the 2025 playoffs, I attended his wedding. Now we are here to see Game 7, where anything can happen.

Life is a beautiful journey — keep fighting.

@3xchair Oh, look. Another Armond White review that uses the words “nihilism,” “Millennial,” and references a shitty Zak Snyder movie.
