Where did things go sideways for the Pacers on Monday night in your eyes?
Easily the worst game of Nembhart's career. Wonder whats Prichard's Plan B is, as far as THE 6th guy of Pacer's future goes. This is a quick rebuild and Andrew doesnt look like he's gonna cut it.
Nembhardt- Horrible
Turner-Disgraceful terrible.
The past 3 games he's looking like last years Myles. Myles was absolutely terrible.
Buddy Hield was absolutely horrendous until he hit 2 4th quarter 3s so fans that just watch the box score will think He had A good game.
Pacers will NEVER win A playoff series with Buddy Hield playing 30-35 mpg. He's A losing basketball player. He's absolutely terrible. Please find me one Kings fan that has anything good to say about Buddy's 5 year tenure there.
Myles was absolutely horrific. Only thing that makes sense to me taking TJ out and playing Buddy 35 mpg is they don't care if they win or not.
Nembhardt was terrible. Nesmith didn't even play. Nwora should have been playing Buddy minutes not Buddy and Mathurin is just an ordinary good rookie now.
Nothing real special at all anymore after that hot start. He's a good player. That's about it. He's not a winning impactful player like he was in the beginning of the season.
He's playing like the number 6 pick because jabari Smith, banchero and Keegan Murray are 100 percent looking and playing better.
Only thing I can pray is that they are low key trying to lose. Myles played terrible. Nembhardt was abysmal. The team Only looked like a free flowing basketball team when Buddy and Myles are out and the reserves are in.
Myles is half the player when Tyrese is out. Myles is literally incapable of putting a team on his back and bringing home the win. Whoever thinks different Is beyond delusional.
Easily the worst loss of the season Kelly oubre completely sucks and he literally willed them to the victory. There Is a reason he's been on 5 teams. He sucks. Pacers made him look like Michael Jordan.
Garbage Bulls held Philly at Philly to 100 points in regulation. They've scored over 140 twice in the past two weeks against Pacers. Bulls even win In 2ot.
We have too many players on this team worried about getting outshined by their teammates. The offense Is completely dysfunctional with Buddy and Myles on the floor.
Beyond embarrassing loss. Literally disgraceful loss. This team doesn't deserve any postseason play.
Kp watches these games so I'll be eagerly waiting to see what moves he makes. If Buddy starts on this team next year I won't watch one minute of any game and will completely check out.
Literally impossible to be a winning basketball team with Buddy Hield playing 30-35 mpg
Myles had 15 points in the first quarter. He had 6 the rest of the game and He was being guarded by Nick Richard's and Kai Jones. And couldn't do anything against them offensively.
He was A -23 for the game playing against two scrub rookies and literally the worst team in the eastern conference. Nick Richard's had 17 rebounds to Myles 7 and was a +18. And Nick Richard's completely sucks.
These are games your 30 million dollar player should be able to take home. The offense looks terrible with Myles and Buddy out there together. Dysfunctional is the best way to describe it. Granted he was playing with Nembhardt who couldn't playmake or make a shot to save his life.
Anyone that let's Myles off the hook for this piss poor performance isn't doing him or the team justice. He SUCKED tonight. Jackson was WAY better.
I'd rather have Jackson and Smith on the floor together then Buddy and Myles. The offense completely sucks with Myles and Buddy on the floor together.
At least you reviwed this honestly and accurately. You described the 4th quarter accurately to A T.
Tj wasnt great but he was a + 17 and the offense looked functional with him runnig it. That reserve group had all the mometum and the 6 point lead. Nembhardt and Turner come in and the offense is stagnant and dysfunctional.
ck Richard's had 2 points and 2 rebounds his last game against Philly.
He scored 14 and had 17 rebounds tonight and was a plus 18. The last game was in their building too. He scored 2 points and Charlotte lost by almost 40 to Philly. That's how bad the Pacers sucked tonight
I just hope fans are watching these games and not the box scores.
Saturday the reserves got it to a tie game middle of 2nd quarter. Buddy and Myles come back in and within minutes Pacers are down by 9. Almost the exact same thing tonight. As soon as reserves went our and Buddy and Myles came In a 20 point lead turned into a 8 point lead.
Fans will see box score and think they had a good game. They were both playing losing/boring basketball.
Fans that think Buddy is good most likely think Kyrie is good. He scored 28 points right? Kyrie is a cancer and losing basketball player. Who cares if he scores 28 points. Every team he plays on becomes a dysfunctional/losing team. Y'all can have both of them. Good riddance
Hornets actually beat the knicks a week ago in new york and stopped their 9 game winning streak and the two wins against Detroit. But still they are garbage and horrendous so your point is taken.
Can u please talk about how bad Andrew has been seriously
What a pathetic team!!!! TANK Please…sit everyone…forfeit the rest of the games!!! Half of these bums better not return!!! We need more talent!!! Draft…Free Agency…and Trades!!! If you can’t shoot consistently or defend…you have no business getting significant minutes!!
I’m not watching any more games…I’ll be pissed if we win another game…tank and get this shitty season over with…all season ticket holders need to cancel their subscription…and all fans need to boycott!!! If not Pacers Management will bring back this shitty pathetic team!!!
feels like the Pacers always blow a big lead to the Hornets …. every … year
Another quality loss. Keep it up.
Every game is scripted…. When Andrew hit the buzzer beater over Lebron that was nothing but a ritual as Andrew being the reason why the pacers aren’t winning more games and it’s all gonna come pull circle just watch … it’s all gematria… A=1 N=14 114 like Lebron James in gematria equals 114 … nothing new every game is scripted and rigged around Lebron and soon to be Zion Williamson … could keep going but I know not a soul cares so I’ll save myself by stopping now….
