    1/3 of the Bucks losses have been against Indiana lol. Bucks defense in the clutch was just swiss cheese, and Haliburton and McConnell found all the holes.

  4. One-Switch-1448

    – the bucks are 16-2 in their first 18 home games and both of those losses are to the pacers (although one of those losses aren’t really a home game cause of the IST).

    – mathurin is a star, don’t trade anything for siakam.

    – our defense has been legitimately better in this 4 game winning streak.

    – 120+ points in 25 of 32 games.

    – and haliburton is a true superstar!!

  7. MySabonerRunsOladipo

    Shoot 14% from 3, beat the Bucks.

    Totally makes sense

  8. Syelnicar88

    We won despite going 5/35 from 3

    Game Ball should go to TJ McConnell

  9. Super_Intention_9743

    Lot less Bucks fans in the Pacers sub this game 🤔. Where’d they go?

  15. redsfan23butnew

    Key to our ceiling is Mathurin. If he can add a scoring threat like this and still be a team player in other ways it makes a huge difference. He’s still very young, I hope he can figure it out and do this consistently.

  17. Cul_what

    Just woke up from a coma is TJ McConnell the best Pacer to ever play?

  18. Neuroxex

    Firstly, what the fuck did we do to TJ McConnell? Last year over **four** games he averaged 20/4/9 on 72/71/86 splits, it ain’t been that this year but we’re definitely getting his best.

    Secondly those bench/starter +/- splits are accurate. They are true. I need Jae Crowder back and separately a trade.

  20. TatersTot

    I did not watch this game but the bench differential/plus minus is absolutely insane

    TJ 🥹

  21. midwestleatherdaddy

    Give this ball to Giannis. He earned it.

  22. batmans420

    Hang the held Giannis to a 30 point 18 rebound triple double banner 😤😤😤

  23. Dennorak25

    If we trade Mathurin in any Siakam deal we are beyond stupid

  24. Cul_what

    Myles and Mathurin were trying to take the game ball from Hali to maybe do something funny but Hali took it and gave it to the ref he’s had enough of the gameball shenanigans lmao

  25. Oldabandoned

    Probably the first time the Pacers out muscled another team. The refs were letting them play and the bench was ready to bleed. Apologies to Isaiah Jackson for doubting him.

  26. Rithgarth

    You better have had some damn good drinks last night Lillard…

  27. daditude83

    Haliburton is legit. Pacers are going to be dangerous. Maybe a PF away from running it.

    edit: yes I am a Pacer fan.

  28. ThatDudeUKnow92

    Obi with 11 points and +35 is absolutely absurd and the Pacers winning in spite of not being able to buy a 3 point shot tonight is also absurd. I love watching this team and please don’t trade for Siakam especially with no extension.

  30. lotusbloom74

    Where are all the Bucks fans lol? They seemed to have plenty to say last time we played.

  31. Lol69HaHaHa

    Wow. Was not expecting this result. This was one hell of a weird game lol

  32. GoochJuiceJr

    Pacers winning while only shooting 5/35 from three is something to monitor

  33. tapk69

    Both teams shot badly from 3 but 14% and winning is wild.

  34. Drak_is_Right

    Pacers are going to be a fun 1st round matchup for someone

  35. I_give_free_Dopamine

    Pacers seem to be our kryptonite, there a good team good on them

  36. christhefirstx

    Playing the pacers has to be so demotivating defensively it’s like no matter what you do they just keep coming at you

  37. claporga

    Finally brought Hali down to earth with 11 assists only.

  38. mrr6666

    Feel like this is pretty low scoring for a Bucks Pacers game

  39. boydivision30

    Pacers holding Giannis 14 pts below his 2 year average against them is impressive ngl.
