I thought Evan Fournier was hurt. I just don't get this team. Anyway this is a must lose game. This might be the biggest game of the year with us neck and neck with Philly and New York still creeping. Indy better show up.

I have this sinking feeling Frank Vogel wants to play spoiler and do everything to knock the Pacers from the postseason. Be reasonable for once Frank, I'm begging you.

Frank Vogel has called this a "playoff type situation"

I don't really feel like watching any more of these miserable games, but I'm going to anyway. So Buddy Ball is back tonight? Yay.

im one of the very few people that don't agree with tanking games but the many that does... i don't think any of you guys got anything to worry about...
even if they end up with a big lead through the 4th...
this is the classic starting 5 that vogel always put back in midway at the 4th quarter and they always, always blow the lead and we all know vogel will refuse to take any of them out the game.
once again, we'll see the classic brilliant vogel coaching not letting any of you guys down.

don't really care for the win or the lose...these remaining games left, i just want to see EP, hezonja and Gordon play good
i just don't agree with any teams trying to lose purposely...it just bothers me. i think its just from the way i was taught about the game when i was a youngster.

Players aren't tanking... the coaches are pulling the strings to put their team in that position - like Luke Walton and the lakers rotation. Wanting a team to lose for higher draft % isn't "tanking" it's wanting a future at the expense of a meaningless win.

Tanking is what the team does . We have nothing to do with tanking as fans - we don't decide the outcome. Try again.

Last month and half Turner has been horrific. Saw some of his numbers few days ago, really really medicore for player who was hyped to be great and "draft steal"
