Shades of last year losing games you should win. Being the same team with a worse Hali is not going to cut it.
The Pacers started the season really deep at center. Now they're down to one with a bum ankle. Haliburton needs to get back to playing like an all-star.
is it a coincidence turner comes back and we suck? don’t think so wake up guys
Haliburton is COOKED…that's the reason we suck! We jumped the gun on paying him & idgaf who disagrees. Its not an injury or a slump…its teams completely figured him out. If he can't hit 3's he's useless at scoring. He knows he FINESSED us Tony not he will figure it out😂😂😂
This team lacked real mental toughness most of the past few years (since David West left?) and it appears nothing has changed. Their M.O. for years has been to play down to inferior/weakened competition while at the same time mostly failing to match the intensity (ie, commitment to tough defense and rebounding) of truly elite teams. If you recall, the big refrain in the preseason was “we want to prove the playoffs weren’t a fluke.” They know why people would say it’s a fluke: 1) they did benefit from some opponent injuries and 2) they are not (and have not been for some time) respected as a tough team. If all runs true to form they will rally around some perceived disrespect and start playing like they should have been all along, but it will be too late to affect playoff seeding, and we can listen to another offseason of how important it is to play the right way so they can have home court advantage. Blah blah blah. Love this team and it is the only one I will EVER cheer for. I guess that’s why this same soft, unfocused approach is hard to tolerate for me. Come on, fellas. Let’s go.
Haliburton is NOT the same player he was…NO CONFIDENCE or SWAG….He got no swag but he got the BAG$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Unless he wakes the h….up…this will be a wasted season with no hope moving forward. Look what $$$$$$$$ has done to him!!
Benedict Mathurin is The true Super Star on this team and that Who They need to Build around.
Our players are young and have some talent which is intriguing. Having said that there remains problems with the roster as it is constructed–that is continued problems with rebounding and defense. To compound things now there has been a rash of injuries. To compound things further we are 2-4. #debbiedowner
Siakem really don't fit this Team The Ball Stops too much when He is on The Court We need a Brandon Ingram
Beat Boston and lose to the unrecognizable Pelicans…who are missing 4 of their top 6 players!!! WOW…very embarrasing!!
Is no one EVER going to admit that Myles Turner is the worst player on this team?
I think Haliburton is still bothered by that hamstring. He doesn’t seem to drive it to the basket anymore and is settling for threes or just passing the ball to his teammates. He’s the franchise player. He should be more aggressive. This team doesn’t have Lebron, KD or Steph.
Tyrese SHOULD'VE BEEN HOME during the Summer BUILDING MORE TEAM CHEMISTRY from what we Accomplished Last Year. WITH THAT SAID….I do believe they are getting their LEGS back. It's a process. And Ben was making silly turnovers etc also. Stop trying to boil this down to JUST 1 THING like y'all do with the COLTS. We DON'T need that crap here with the PACERS. Besides the Organization ISN'T listening to y'all (GOOD). AND NEITHER IS RICK. Everyone THERE Top to Bottom KNOWS what they need to do and how to do it. They've NEVER tried to "Sell us a bill of goods".
Haliburton needs a shooter in the lineup with him to unlock what he does. Cam Johnson would be perfect in the lineup with Haliburton because of his shooting ability. We definitely need a backup big in a trade like Queta from the Celtics
Its still early but it feel like pacers record is 10-24 right now. But u can see the trend their on. Really lookcabout the same as last year, losing to depleted teams, lack of rebounding, cant guard the 3 ball. Only mathurin and siakam have really showed up for the starters.
thank you Tony
