No big question today. Have a nice Holiday weekend if you celebrate, next episode on Monday!
Carlisle's house of cards always folds whenever the offense fails to get going, since he created a complete one-way street. Nothing new here.
Thank you Tony, luckily my nuclear family all have same politics and those of us that follow basketball all support th Pacers. . . Merry Xmas/happy holidays!!!!
I have said this alot. It's harder to play great offense every game than it is to play great defense. Our defense looked great thanks to nembhard nesmith
Were finding new ways to suck now? 😂
Well pointed out Tony, just my two-cents,Tyrese Haliburton needs consistent support, both offense and defense, to be able to atleast compete for a spot in the play-in, heck even to reach the playoffs would even be a looooong shot.
How about replacing Buddy for Nesmith and walker backing up Obi for more size.
Obi & Nesmith only ones to show up! Need Bruce to fill it up more when Tyrese slumping but he’s slumping even worse.
Need another star
Go Grizz
Mathurin gets 19 minutes!!! And this is padded by putting him end of game w. 2 minutes left in the game when it was a blowout ! What are they doing with their lottery pick!! I don't want to hear that he was -24, Nesmith was also -24 and he played great. So that's not the reason! It was the bench who got whipped period. THEY HAVE TO STOP PLAYING MIND GAMES with Mathurin!! Starting five : Haliburton, Myles, Obi, Nesmith and Mathurin at the 2. That's what gives you the best offense. You can play slow down with this five. You have Nesmith who is shooting almost 50% from 3. That 5 is more physical and taller. You have to bench Hield and Brown. THIS IS NOT WORKING. And you are not developping your Lottery pick! Enough with this nonsense. Pissed.
Haliburton needs to work on his conditioning and build some strength going into next season. It looks like he’s lost a step since the in season tournament. He doesn’t seem to be getting by his defender like he did earlier this season.
Hali needs to stop passing out of easy layups/floaters. He'll split the double team and then make a pass when he should be scoring.
PLAY BENN MORE! Ty is just tired that’s all. He’ll figure it out.
PACERS got bad juju from trying to steal Giannis fanchise record ball on the Bucks home court- shouldve thought about that
I cant condone how Carlisle/Pacers are treating their young players. Mathurin deaerves to start over either Brown or Hield. No excuse why hes getting inconsistent minutes, having good games and getting less minutes.
Fire Carlisle bring in a younger mind who understands today's game. Fire kevin Pritchard.
There is no amount of lineup juggling that will fix this. The pacers need to be more aggressive in bringing in pieces around hali or its going to be another paul George situation. Yall huffing straight hopium.
