Indiana is such an embarrassment, were beating Cleveland pretty much the whole game. Does anyone know how many leads they have blown this year? Not sure how they are this bad, a masterful tank job they are displaying.

Blatant tanking.

It was super embarassing, I feel like they know what their doing. I am just assuming obviously no proof, but they are definitely telling the players to play but don't win the game. How they have the worst record in the league with siakiam playing every game and Carlisle coaching doesn't make any sense.

Just gave Cleveland a free win haha mainly angry about that since we're close with them in the standings.

You’re not sure why they are bad? Their best player is out the year and they lost their 3rd best player to the Bucks. lol.

Well yes I am aware of the injuries they have. Still have a decent amount of role players and a good coach. They have enough talent to be up 9 in the beginning of the 4th against Cleveland. Never imagine them to be on 13 game losing streak, clear tankathon with them.

Healthy Spurs just lost to the depleted Grizzlies. This year has been wild.

When have the Pacers with Carlisle ever tanked? This is a team that always got criticized because they’d always pick in that 7-14 range.

They had no size without Turner. He was a big part of that offense. Then you lose a top 15 player in Haliburton and it’s no surprise everything fell apart.

It will be great for them to get a top 5 pick though.
