Why are you purposely missing down 2 with 5 seconds left?

This is a horrible game
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Or just go to the ELAM ending ffs.

People would get used to it and the endings are infinitely better.

Well, that was absolutely awful on our part :lol:

We didn't deserve to get anything out of this game. Props to Philly.

I stand by my initial assessment. That was an absolutely fascinating trainwreck.

Houston maybe? They could have the right combo of wanting to make that big splash + young talent to trade + they played hardball with Sengun's extension, didn't they?

With 4 seconds left and no timeouts, what else are you going to do?

The first one wasn't on purpose. It was just a miss. The second was an attempt to salvage the first miss and maybe get a board to tie it.

Hali’s a good young player but he’s got a long way to go before he’s in that top 10-15 group as some think he is

I know this feels awful and yea its bad but its early season folks. Pacer fans, this could very easily be a blip you have no recollection of in about 5 weeks time. These first 5-10 games feel like life and death but they are often fairly inconsequential, teams can look totally different in a few weeks. It's a bad look no doubt so not saying it means nothing, but don't take it too hard.

This is true. We have played bad basketball in these 3 games and it's not really going to matter if we manage to fix things and start playing better. Still, when you play as bad as we have, you have to admit it and you have to tip your hat to the other team.
