That half makes me think it may be time to move Giannis. We can get a boatload this offseason still and this team isn’t going anywhere as is. It’s over.

Combine that with get out hustled on 90% of loose balls and we're lucky to be down 8

One positive is we should be down 25 but at the same time that would mean we have looked completely outmatched back to back games against Indiana

Game 3 tix very affordable, get them now, they'll go up after we win this one.

This offense actually makes me sick to watch. The defense also makes me sick.

Does TP have some handshake “I must start if I sign for the minimum” deal?

It’s comical how long of a leash he gets

That has been my assumption.

Hated that it got back up to 8. Felt like we were getting some real momentum.

I will be shocked if we avoid a sweep here. Indiana is so much better than we are

I don't even get what they're looking at on half their passes. They throw alleys & looping post passes into a crowd. A lot of senseless TO's and inexplicably getting beaten on loose balls/rebounds they're closer to. Hard to win when the opponent takes significantly more shots per game.

Unfortunately, hustle probably isn't enough. Pacers are waaaay quicker.

I think Doc makes it look worse. This roster needs help, no denying that, but I think even an average NBA coach worth their salt could get this team to at least the 2nd round.

Now? You waited what 5 6 years to see that turnovers have been killing us all this time? The calling their own number, dribbling off of feet or into traffic, passing to nowhere? Now you find it a problem?

FanDuel rocking 3 straight minutes without ads for a playoff game is bleak.

It's like they're trying to be decisive and not hesitate, but the decisions just suck.

They can work the angles. Problem is they get flat-footed and occasionally over help.

I think there's no offensive identity. I watch the things they run and its just a bunch of idiots standing in the corners, clogging up space by being in the same area as the ball handler, and a bunch of people ball watching and not moving.

Really? I have never said that before?

I need Kevin Porter Jr to play like athletic Nick Van Exel again.

Look it up, kids.
