Surprise, surprise. This "new team," is the result of screwing up the direction of team building as of last year.. Starting with Pascal.. Created a halft-court team with less shooting than ever and Defense that is in no way better for everything you gave up.. and the result of the moves you made, as opposed to what you could have done…. smdh.. I won't be able to watch this team much anymore… They ruined this team. OKC made the moves we should have made last year.. Memphis and Heat drafted well, along with a couple other's.. Knicks for one… so many guy's we've missed on over the year's.. FA, trades too. Kept Bruce Brown, went into the off-season. Made the right moves (OKC).. then tried for OG, or Herb Jones, Naji Marshall, DJones Jr.. Oubre Jr.. De'Anthony Melton.. had all our picks and next year's… picked Cam Whitmore, or Taylor Hendricks.. Kolek, Terrance Shannon Jr., Jaylen Tyson., Jaylen Wells, Bobi Klintman, Jamal Shead.. Keshad Johnson, PJ Hall, Post.. Trey Alexander. Could have moved up and grabbed Kel'el Ware.. I've said this like a million time's already. Had the chance to pick up GG Jackson and passed on him for Oscar Shiebwa. Lol even TJD.. So many other's I'd personally went after over the year's who have become great player's.. I can't stand to watch this trainwreck anymore…
The only reason I care to watch at all is because I'm praying to see Mathurin breakout. Which he will, idk how well on this team… because they have no clue what they're doing.. but Mathurin and Obi are the only reason I still care to even watch and they don't even use them right.. they might as well just give OKC Haliburton, Mathurin and Obi. So I can watch the team I was hoping we would have this year.
Hoping for a speedy recovery for James
At this point they shouldn't sign an old guy. Buyout *Will Baker*'s contract he signed with Belgium. Or sign *Armando Baycot*. Take him from UTA lol. Or a *Joel Soriano*. Strong Bigs who can bang down low, get boards. Have high I.Q and can pass, or score in a post up, or pick n roll.
Show me Furphy in team and i watch
Same crap
Indianapolis deserves better than this. Halliburton’s out “taking naps” ya right, time to move his ass
Building around mathurin should be priority tbh, sadly rick and FO thinks differently.
Haliburton…you got $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ what the …….. wake the h………….up!
Is our philosophy to draft a top 10 talent and highlight the 2nd round guy with more minutes to make the higher pick play better. PG talked about how Born Ready was way ahead of him on the curve and had to really work on his game.
IDGAF what anybody says….Haliburton's been completely figured out & its over for his elite play. 2 ZERO point games in less than a season on a supermax is WASHED behavior. He's not even doing all the other shit either…every stat is significantly down. Stop paying guys for half a season of being good KP. We will NEVER get a career guy like Reggie again in
Haliburton playing like bronny out there. I say everytime he drops a gooseegg than he donates a million to hurricane relief. Bet it wouldn't happen again lol
EVERYONE is looking for "SOMEONE" to Blame for this…THIS LOSS WAS OWNED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. Everyone missing from 3. EVERYONE GETTING BLOWN OFF THE DRIBBLE. Terrible Close outs. Loss of INTENSITY. I do believe that Offense DID BLEED into the Defense. But YEAH, I can totally understand how people feel. Good Job by MYLES though. These first two games, Along with BEN, he's become a Real Leader and has been trying to ADD to his Game…And REMEMBER?…WE SPANKED THEM BOYS "AT THE GARDEN IN A GAME 7"…. They've BEEN WAITING for this. WHY do you think they made those Trades?
Lol EVERY TIME we shot a 3 I threw up in my mouth a little. THEY WEREN'T FALLING. I'll put that on Rick AND the Players. IF we were shooting THAT WELL from everywhere ELSE then you go with what works THEN that can translate into BETTER 3 pt shooting….JUST LIKE IT WORKS THE OTHER WAY. Keep shooting like SHIT, keep taking BAD SHOTS, KEEP MISSING, it WILL AFFECT Your game eventually on the whole.
This team should have actually done something to improve instead of rewarding people for accomplishing nothing.
Hali has always been soft
Unfortunately it doesnt seem to matter how well Mathurin plays or how bad a guy like Nesmith or Nehmbard play.. Rick will never insert Mathurin into the starting line up, even though hes been our best or maybe second best player through the first 2 games.
Mathurin needs to start if hes ever going to learn how to fit in with the starters. Hes already carrying them afterall.. Rick just cant seem to appreciate his talents
Rick Carlisle does not have his team ready to play to begin the season, and needs to be fired immediately. Why does he never get held accountable for the atrocious defense?
Tyrese Haliburton has gone full diva, just like Oladiop. Quite pathetic and embarrassing.
The Pacers have abandoned what got them here: speed and attack.
I like react pods right after the games
Can Rick not hold ego trips against Mathurin? Play the kid!!
the knicks are on another level then the pacers, this knicks team is even better then last years team
They stay the same every year, don’t improve they game whatsoever, Tyrese is overrated and overpaid, and have no bag to reach into, his game and moves is so basic he’s not going to get us a chip..
No need to feel embarrassed. The Knicks literally have the single best starting line up in the nba and will most likely win the finals this year.
Pathetic pacers needed 3 injuries from the Knicks just to barely squeeze by in playoffs last year
Pacers are good. Knicks are just better, much better. No need to end up watching 28 minutes. It’s all summed up in my paragraph
I think the nba has figured out the pacers offense and Haliburton. The Knicks defense isn’t that good they shouldn’t have struggled to score like that
That was so bad
Haliburton has a confidence problem at the moment. He blew game 1 with an epic choke job in game they had won. He is responsible for that loss. He then goes to team USA and doesn’t play at all. His problem is mental. He must have the ball and be the focal point of the offense. Nembhard having the ball in his hands and bringing it up is why they play slow. We saw it in the playoffs. Everyone loved his play once Haliburton was hurt but before that other than a big shot he was awful in the playoffs. He was exposed by Brunson and the Knicks and Celtics slowed the pacers by not allowing Haliburton to bring the ball up. It’s pretty simple. Mathurin has to play more minutes, wether he starts or not
