The timberwolves, clippers and now kings all pushed the pace and beat us at our own game. The NBA scouting finds out how to beat teams. This will be how teams will be playing us. Now we'll have to figure out how to slow teams down. Our weak defense from our guard play will have to improve if we hope to win here on out.
The dude that checked Smith in the face is a thug. I was listening to the Kings broadcast and The lady speaking would not stop regurgitating that it was an accident. It was blatant and he should have been thrown from the game. Not a very common display on the court, disgusting.
i would love to make the playoffs but i don’t think we are at that level just yet feel like one more top 5 pick would give us a chance at contending for a long time
Pacers were not prepared, they weren’t expecting the kings to play like this the championship. The kings can deny, smile and act nice all day but deep down they prepared all week to beat the pacers because they want to prove their the better team. Pacers were to nice this match but they need to realize the kings are now their rivals. Rick and the staff needs to find new strategies because these teams are starting to learn the Pacers. And to many bad ball decisions tonight mishandling the ball. Players need to start stepping up because they can’t always rely on Hali, these other teams are now studying him. Player of the night is Buddy, shout out to him for not giving up even with all the boos
I. Jackson failed to hit the basket from under the rim 5 times… Out of 5 attempts. That takes 'talent'.
Jackson is probably the most overrated (by the Pacers media and fans) player on the current roster. They drool over his 'athleticism' while he either gets into foul trouble in 2 mins or fails to hit a basket over and over and over and over again.
Remember me Locked on Pacers? This is exactly my grievance with Myles Turner.Sabonis is a horrible on ball defender and post defender exactly the matchup that Turner should dominate.Sabonis got two early fouls and was out halfway through the 1st quarter,more reason as to why Turner should have dominated.Jalen Smith looked like a beast on the front line and Turner looked like a domestic cat.The Pacers are a pretty good offensive team but once again they did Pacer things.The Pacers had ill-advised shots and unforced turnovers and played with little to no emotion consider the team they were playing and the buildup behind it.
Good for the kings though. That team deserves some sucess.
Go kings go kings
We had to give Kings SOMETHING out of trade. Also, just curious, what is Pacers record when Jalen Smith is high point man?
Great analysis my guy. I'm a Kings fan so I'm happy about last night's result, but props to you for your honest eval. Love the crossover material w Matt George too.
I saw this one coming. A young team coming off an emotional win and going into a emotional game. So many shots missed at the basket and no one could make a 3 pointer.
Kings fan ! We jus played better defense, pacers missed a lot of shots. This is why we traded buddy, his shot selections are terrible, wasted possession and he sucks on defense. Go kings 🟣 light the beam
Buddy getting booed all game: he visibly quit on the team last season along with Marvin Bagley, who also got booed every touch in Pistons' loss to Sac for the same reason.
Kings fans can live with a bad product, but they DO NOT forgive quitters. Just some insight cause many were confused by this also.
Hali & Hield played way too tight & it made the rest of the Pacers besides Smith play tight—we’re getting outrebounded bc of Carlisle’s incessant love affair with small ball—FIRE CARLISLE & LET LLOYD PIERCE COACH!
Need to play smith at the 5 in games like this one
Need more spacing turner a noob
Teams like the Pacers, with not so good perimeter defense, will struggle against the Kings. It's a bad match up for Indi. Also the key to beating the Kings is to relentlessly drive the ball. Pacers don't really do that. Can't wait for the Indi game.
