    Jackson collected 5 fouls in 14 minutes. He is done for. How many chances he's gonna keep getting? He gets into foul trouble week after week, month after month, year after year, over and over and over and over and over again.

    They are shooting wide open 3s
    How can tyrese or nembhardt set up players better then wide open 3s?

    Mcconnel had 8 assists in like 17 minutes the other night. Goodness. These narratives drive me nuts.

    Players are missing wide open 3s. Nothing to do with being set up better.
    Smith, Duarte, Brisset shot under 30 percent from 3 last year playing with Tyrese and Nembhardt.

    These narrartuves drive me nuts. Dont try to blame Buddys ATROCIOUS shooting on not having Tyrese out there just to fit y'alls narrative of how bad Pacers need Buddy to score pointsn

    I have not watched the video yet but this is my takeaway from the two games so far
    – The pacers should defend since the entire offseason has been about defending .
    – The addition of Obi and Bruce Brown has been underwhelming so far(maybe because it is preseason so they aren’t putting as much effort), right now it is looking like 20M and 2 draft picks wasted .
    – we need both tyrese and drew back the offense seems like an eyesore without them(buddy hield shouldn’t get the ball handling role ever again😂😭).
    – ben Sheppard should be all over buddy, that should be his vet while hield is still on the pacers.
    – Aaron Nesmith should definitely be in the rotation.
    – Isaiah wong and Kendall brown when do they start participating with the G league because that is where they are meant to be, not here. Especially wong.

    Jalen smith looks good. Better than jackson. Obi looks rough. Still excited. But a little disappointed in there team performance

  6. Joe Mapes

    I only have thoughts. The inconsistent play from guys (youth), and I think that Celtics trade is looking better for us as time goes by. Would Celtics like to have Nesmith and Theis right now? Thats a segment to maybe have someday? Revisiting that trade for impacts to both teams?

  8. Norman Bell

    Shep' and Nesmith need to figure out that if they don't take their shot, then Walker or some other less capable shooter will. We took 17 more three's than the Rockets…and missed them all.
    I've seen enough from Jax. and the third string point. It's time to shorten the rotation a little already. Brown is not starting over Nesmith. He'll be filler next summer for a big money sign and trade. We had to spend that money though so…nbd.

    Carlisle’s offensive scheme is atrocious compared to other teams—every basket is like pulling teeth for us no matter the opponent—and our team defense is beyond piss poor!

  10. Unspoken Hoop Knowledge

    OBi will look better with Tyrese as will everyone 😂 but man does he need to work on his defense. Mathurin had some great stretches last night on the defensive end was low key impressive

  11. Michael Scott

    Omg people Obi was set up to fail defensively against JJJ by ahole Carlisle—stupid coach won’t adjust—go big against Memphis—Smith, Theis or Jackson should be playing four then, GO BIG—play Obi at the 3 against these big teams! Then maybe we wont be outrebounded by double freaking digits!
