  1. Somebody please tell Tyrese to stop putting the Miller shirt on before the games where he completely disappears. All bark, no bite.

  2. Haliburton had a terrible game… Defensively, he has to get better there.. Then Pascal… 🤦🙇🙆 Dude makes me want to rip my eye's out.. He's terrible. Idc about his 8 points in the 4th once the game was over.. He can't make shots directly under the rim.. Plays hot potato 🥔 with the ball.. Never looks to score.. can't.. doesn't get rebounds, Hartenstein dominated him on the glass.. Terrible to continue to match him. He just plays like a passive 🐈.. I mean Donte blocked him at the rim… I just wanna yell into my TV screen… GET AGGRESSIVE!!!!!!! PLAY LIKE YOU'RE 6'9…
    Nesmith played amazing D. I was totally pissed at how he recieved a terrible call.. one foul should have been on Brunson.. To me that was a massive momentum shift.. one we never recovered from… The immediate 2 fouls on him threw the entire feel of the game.. Once they'd gotten up by 10 it was over.. Then the fact we can't even guard and stop Duce McBride made me want to vomit… I mean can we get Duce McBride on a max contract??? Smfh.. I'd literally give up half our roster for Donte and Hart.. fr though. This was so hard to watch… if they don't make serious changes this off-season.. I swear.. Done with Pascal, we need someone who can score the ball. Or a lot of Depth.. not a huge contract to a guy that's not even a 4th or 5th best player.. Turner is better than Pascal.. Dude can't even dribble a basketball without being a Turnover..
    Why Nembhard was the automatic 2nd to guard Brunson was a head scratcher also.. Nembhard tries, it's just a bad match up for him.. Nesmith is a much better Defender.. and we need to get another like him.. he needs help. He can't guard everyone. Especially if they're going to whistle him for bs calls constantly… get some depth…. get a shooter if possible.. if not all solid depth pieces. Guy's that can play multiple positions. I'd love to add Hartenstein too. I'd rather have him than Pascal. He's a hustle player and scrapper.. That's what our team needs… not passiveness.. that type of play makes me want to beat my head against a wall… it's so frustrating to watch… I wish Nesmith was 6'9.. 🙇 .. so many guy's we could go after in FA.. we wasted those picks.. really blows considering I like a few player's in that 20 to 30 range…. so pissed.. 😤

  3. This series should b 3-2 Pacers lead, we should be closing out the Knicks game 6 just like the Bucks, but we all know what happened game 1.

  4. Max player got paid. This dude could give 2 fucks. Don’t play defense. Doesn’t show up on offense. It’s okay bro, we get it. Don’t lie to the people though. You don’t give a fuck about winning and got the bag. Refuse to shoot. Defer to a min contact Nembhard to make him look like shit.

  5. Let me preface this by saying I'm a Pacers fan for life… BUT… If the Pacers can't beat this busted-ass Knicks team missing most of it's players… NY deserves to move on 😒

  6. Tyrese going all out to win the George Hill award. Disappear when it counts, then bust out that famous empty catch phrase, "I need to be more agressive." Dr. Jeckyl, meet Mr. Hide.

  7. Our best player got his ass handed to him by Miles McBride. Thats all that need to be said. He just didnt want any part of the competition. He was getting rid of the ball the first chance he got.

  8. Tyrese its your job as the leader of the team to get everyone focused.

    You didnt take charge. Dont criticize your teammates you abandoned them out there to fend for themselves. Be a leader.

  9. I'm sick of Rick Carlisle!!! He is a pathetic coach!!! Where in hell was Haliburton!!! Piss Poor EVERYTHING!!! Get your shit together!!! 😕

  10. One game. Give us one more at home. Tonight didn't happen. Get ready for Friday. Protect home court! 💪🏽

  11. Funny Rick acts like rebounds haven’t been a problem besides game four. That mf gets stupider every game. This team will go no wear with him as a coach. Also when the leauge sucks off brunson.

  12. "I didn't do what I was supposed to do today, I'll do better game 6" says the guy getting paid 200+ mil to do what he's supposed to do every game!

  13. I'm aorry but if turner or siakam can't play defense or grab rebounds, they need to go. Turner thinks he's a SF.

  14. The good thing is that the Pacers…most teams comes to play the game after a sucky game. Next game will be a good one. Knicks came to play after their embarrassing loss.

  15. It was embarrassing, you can't blame refs yall cut the lead to 7 after Miles Turner hits 9 3. Halibruton was getting outplayed by divenchenzo.

  16. EVERYBODY NBA IS RIGGED, ITS A BUSINESS. NBA= NATIONAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION. THE NBA IS PART OF THE ELITE. BRUNSON NOT PUTTING UP THE DEVIL SIGN FOR NO REASON. TYRESE & THE PACERS IN ON IT. THEY GET PAID MILLIONS WETHER IF THEY LOSE OR NOT. TYRESE HALIBRUTON HAVING 6 PTS GAME 1 SAYS IT ALL. 6 REPRESENT THE DEVIL.

  17. This is why I don't understand why many of y'all were giving Mathurin a hard time for balling out to the very end of the game his rookie season. He is legitimately the alpha-male DAWG on this team which is SORELY missing right now. Mathurin is the dude who has that scrap mentality which Haliburton is missing and that is something you can't teach. The player has got to WANT IT. 24 damn 7…

    Nesmith & McConnell got heart and play hard but unfortunately don't have the skill-set like Mathurin does. Nesmith has improved a lot since last season though. Nembhard and Shep playing with intensity but they're still young bucks and will need the off-season to improve.

    If Toppin and Jalen Smith worked on their mid-range game and handles, they easily could become starters. They at least make an effort to get the boards. Jackson also needs to work on his mid-range game.

    Which brings us to Jarace Walker. He is the x-factor. He has the skills to make it happen on all 3 levels, has handles, good passing vision, and can play D. They should have gotten his ass more involved the last 1/4 of the regular season. Most importantly, Walker needs to be sitting next to Mathurin and Nesmith so that "soft" mentality doesn't leach itself in while he hangs out on the damn bench…

  18. I don’t like players that are this positive after playing so bad. It’s a lack of competitiveness. Do you like competition? It doesn’t seem like it. Not to mention you suck on defense.

  19. If I see Myles Turner let Jalen Brunson get another uncontested look in the paint I'm going to spontaneously combust. Yall need to take a page out of the 80s Pistons playbook & make him think twice about going down there or this series is over on Friday.

  20. The Pacers need a player that can score @ will in the half court…siakim can sometimes but we need another player that can get a bucket @ will … if ben math cant get to that level then we have to go get it in free agency maybe paul george would help

  21. Gritty defensive mindset is needed for an entire game…Keep focused, don't be distracted getting into fight with opponent.. Don't get to high or too low… Lessons learned for young players. Keep grinding, hopefully the younger players follow your lead by focusing on the game and not get distracted by the opponents shenanigans…. #Pascal #Siakam #WeTheNorth x #Boombaby

  22. I posted this to X ahead of Game 5:

    "Message to coach Carlise and the @Pacers:

    The Knicks will likely go with size & shooters = opportunities for the @Pacers:

    1. Defend the perimeter.
    2. TEAM rebound on LONG missed shots.
    3. Leak out for transition baskets, when available.
    4. And-1! (Attack the basket)"

    Clearly neither he nor they got the freakin' message.

  23. Tyrese just say your scared. Reggie Miller would never defer to role players in big moments. He came to play every game. We all can tell when your about to disappear in the first couple minutes.
