  1. The pacers had improved a bit on defense but TEAM REBOUNDING is IMPORTANT.

    Turner should be playing off the bench and not a stating center. Even though the game has evolve in where bigs can shoot anywhere in court but a BASIC skill and ATTITUDE of a PLAYER in any league is to get the REBOUNDS.

    MORE REBOUNDS. MORE WIN.

  2. With the offense not looking good and needing identity I think it’s time for Carlisle to get more involved running plays instead of the free flowing random style with Hali/McConnell or whoever on the floor run the offense, I’m not saying they shouldn’t do that at all but it might not be consistent enough to have all throughout the game right now and it’s based off of too much inconsistent play, such as Siakam having it going and its being hard to get him open for buckets or when Mathurin is in rhythm and needs to get easier ways to score off cuts/catch and shoot, same for Hali and etc…that’s where multiple plays are needed to be ran and if a play is broken up then run the random offense to get a shot, same for other key players when they are hot and they need to get going

  3. Haliburton isnt setting up his teammates in these loses. He did vs. Knicks. Hes checking out early on when his shot isnt dropping. You cant quit on your team and tap out. Just ask Anthony Richardson.

  4. TY CAN'T GO "SCORELESS" FOR AN ENTIRE HALF. NO Point Guard (that i know of) Does this. I AGREE with one of the comments here. RICK NEEDS TO GONA LIYOLD SCHOOL AND START CALLING PLAYS FROM THE SIDELINE. He was one of the BEST at this back in the Day. Last…THE 3PT/CLOSE OUT DEFENSE IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. And it's HARD to watch.

  5. Shooting is psychological as much as it’s about getting good shots. They are overwhelmingly affected by shooting streaks and need that addressed. Tony I’d like to hear how the team itself handles this. Rick tends to just say – it happens and will end. Stays positive – but what are we doing to be proactive. What do the other coaches do to help shooting psychology?

  6. The line-up to start the 4th was not a good lineup to play. I get that Furphy was good in the first half, but I don't think you can have him play crunch time like that
