PG Indy Game 6 - Loss

[wallus]

Keep Giannis and Khris. Everyone else can go if needed.

[Fotis St]

Wasted season cause Giannis is dangerous for himself.

Hey Giannis, maybe become available next year's playoffs for a change.

Stay healthy
Work on your FT routine, never ever ever repeat the clown 10 sec fiesta ...

We’re never winning a title with Dame.

He’s like Big Dog twenty-five years earlier. He causes your defense to have too many breakdowns. You can’t hide him. Bill Simmons was correct back in October.

He wasn't even the worst defender in the backcourt. Beasley being a sieve did no favors to Dame.

Heck, healthy Dame was way better defensively than advertised. Forces game changing turnovers. Better defender than most star PGs, including Haliburton.

Bill Simmons is a moron.

sad but expected. coming in i didnt think wed be competitive. won the first. then after the next 3 i really thought it was over but our old school last gasp of champsionship dna said not so fast. reminded me of game 5 against the hawks back with FTD in their place. like one of those WTF we may have this wins. but then the inevitability of the situation we were in finally occurred. we werent going anywhere if wed actually won this mfer so its hard to get to upset....the effort was there.

so fun series but this is not a championship roster from 1-12 anymore. interested to see what happens in the offeason lots of ways this can go. if we bring it all back we can see the playoffs with 2nd round hopes and even maybe a ECF or finals if all the chips fall in place.....year after year for a few more why break it up right?

......well as stated in the past those decades of hell to consider if we run this out as a small market im not sure thats wise. we can discuss that this summer i suppose. tonights not the night

I feel good about the Giannis/Dame/Khris core.

Have to surround them with more athletic players, both bigs and ball handlers; more defensively focused. Those guys provide enough offense.

Spelled Dame wrong

[MartyConlonOnTheRun]

I still can't believe that Dame hands over 4-7 free points off turnovers every game.

It was not a fun season at all. Team needs an identity overhaul.

Yeah. I understand feeling the need to hold onto guys who won a championship for you but the team needs to look itself in the mirror now. The roster can't be this old, slow, and unathletic anymore. The top 3 guys are good enough but they'll only remain that way if the right pieces are put around them.

[MuckyFingers]

Better to lose this way than on a Travis Best three at the buzzer.

That was a such a stake through the heart. Not as bad as the ‘87 Game 7 in Boston where we came back from 3-1 and had control with 4 minutes left.

How can we cover for KM on D when the guy who's in front of him he wont even take a step and put a hand up.. surrounding KM with defenders only helps if he will take some responsibility in the gym and get more mobile and react to people shooting straight in front of him. If he stays like this we can't use him.. the NBA is too fast for him and this game showed that

I just cant **** understand how someone always goes **** nuclear against us every **** year. FVV, Duncan R, Grant W, Tj mc, Obi its someone every ruckn year, yet we’ve never had a role guy go nuclear like that man

[MickeyDavis]

Hat's off to James Khristian Middleton man. What a **** warrior.

You don't turn down a Godfather offer (I doubt we get one) but if he's back I'll be happy.

[ShootingtheJ]

Paying Brook Lopez $25 million to get cooked in the playoffs was seriously bold. He played all right for 2/3s of the season, but fell off a cliff the last month.

Wait, what?

I've never seen a player do that. Throw a ball at a fan. Call for the ball back and then throw it at another one?

We need the story Pat.

This. Feel cheated we never got to see those 3 get enough time to gel.

One more thing: I think Indy never stopped playing good team basketball with safe passes.

We, in turn, stooped to ghetto ball and weak looping or cross court passes

It was another in a long line of series where we were out coached for sure.

[steger_3434]

Our best player didn’t play the entire series, what else is there to say.

Giannis has had pretty serious injuries during the playoffs in three of the last four years. Time is being pissed away.

I mean, the current injury is not that serious, just very badly placed timewise, lol.

He missed almost a month. It was serious

Umm unless the ball was originally thrown at him, that should be like a twenty game suspension. You can't chuck **** at fans....twice

[HKPackFan]

BTW I don't think ajj for beas necessarily wins the game tonight.

But I think it would have been closer. Maybe helps stop momentum of pacers racking up 60pts in a half and getting them comfortable.

Gallo a -10 in 4 minutes alongside beas is fascinating.

Again. Bucks didn't have enough tonight. But there's some easy things to try out when something hasnt worked like most of the series and the signs were there I ntbe regular season as well.
