Game Thread 11/8: Pacers vs. Pistons

[Jermainevent]

RIP rim, Andre Drummond just destroyed it...

[Pacersike]

This team has such great chemistry, our best players have decided they should have their struggle games together and not separately

Watch out league when Vic and Myli start producing again, together

[AussiePacer]

Haven't watched the game yet but disappointing to crash back to earth with a string of losses.

Hope to see Sabonis back soon, no surprise we've suffered because of his absence, and hopefully we can regain our ball movement and ability to knock down the open 3's it was creating.

Was our speed noticeably down today?

[Vorda]

Are we again on the tank train?

Are we again on the tank train?

I know how much you want us to be. Just not going to happen as long as Herb Simon owns the team. Not gonna happen.

Obviously it's happening... we will probably beat Bulls at saturday, but then we play against Rockets, Grizzlies, Pistons, Heat... soon we will have 6-11 score and we will be at the bottom of the table... and TOP 5-10 pick is guaranteed...

Ok I agree with what you are saying. To me tanking is the 76ers of yesteryear... sit Myles and Dipo trade off assets etc. That is the type of tanking I know will not go on here. You're just talking about us being bad... not tanking.

If we are a .500 club in November then we have a chance to go on a run with an easy December schedule. It is way too early to phone it in. Minor adjustments need to be made that can stave off recent teams. We don't have those options with injuries and an inexperienced squad. I think things will come together, and fall off. Our team needs to get wise in the flow of the game and that takes time.

If you wanna tanking you have to be bad... some team needs to bench the best players... we dont... we are just bad... we have one of the worst PG in league, undersized SG, the best shooter is bad defender, undersized PF and limited centre who thinks that he is awesome shooter... and of course... the worst coach in league... so when you put that togheter you get one of the worst team in leage without future... we need superstar, and we could have it only through the lottery...

[Joel Embust]

The Pacers are not tanking, what a ridiculous claim.

Of course they dont... they just can't win... they are tanking against their will...

Or Anthony Bennett or Kwame Brown. Not a guarantee.

Most of top 10 lottery picks become good players so I would take a chance
