Lance is the most beloved Pacer in BLF and with good reason.

Fk the Heat. So many contested jumpers made, while Pacers can't hit open shots.

He's not a scrub. He is a shooter. Shooting 41% from 3 on 7.1 attempts per game means that you're pretty good at this role.

1-18...NBA team?... brickers from Miami scored 13... and we almoust won... I'm missing something....

The best PG in the league made 7 points and 3 asist... let me repeat... 7 points and 3 asist.... can we trade him now... or we have to wait more?

Just got home and looked at the score, won't be bothering watching it via league pass.

Shooting % shows we had an off night and I wonder how much Myles being out increases opposition scoring in the paint or at least, comfort in attacking in the paint and kicking out.

It's funny because at half-time when the team was down 11, even though it felt they should be down 15/16 or something, coach Burke told FSI that its simple, if Pacers can start hitting some 3s they can still win this game and if they don't they have no chance. Dude was right on the money. One could argue 2 or 3 more three's is all it wouldve took to win this game tonight.

It never fails who ever we play they have some bench guy averaging 8 pts a game go nuts and get 25-30 points I've been seeing this happen for 40 yrs or more.

Look how many foul shots they missed in the game. Joe Young is what an 85% shooter and he missed both shots, Sabonis missed 3-4. That kills you, you gotta get those free points.

Yeah absolutely. Pacers shot 66% from the line, leaving 10 points out. Very costly and really hurts when something else goes wrong like 3PT shooting in this case.

Very frustrating game to watch last nite, nearly everything the Heat tossed up was going in and the Pacers could barely buy a shot. I hate losing games like this, especially the ones that will haunt us in three months.
