Game 23: Pacers (12-8) @ Pistons (2-20) Dec. 11 7:00 PM EST

Maybe Detroit will luck out tonight - the Pacers can't help but be flat after the their tournament finals weekend in Vegas.

Haliburton returns to what should be his home court.

Pacers are -7.


* With Bagley doubtful for tonight's game, we'll hopefully see Ausar back in the starting lineup.

imagine if we started stewart and wiseman? honestly though, this is at least a good game to be forced to play small since the pacers do too.

be interesting to see who plays the 5 if one or both of stew and wiseman get in foul trouble.

We'd probably try Killian.

I wouldn't be shocked if that happened lol. The way Monty has been acting. That dumbass.
Hopefully he's finally forced to field a team with spacing tonight, jesus

I hope Monty starts Ausar and gets that confidence back.

I’m assuming Hayes, Cade, Bojan, and Stew start. So probably between Ivey and Ausar for the other spot.

As i mentioned in another thread, i fully expect Halliburton to put up about 60 points.

ivey wasn't wearing a starters jersey during shootaround so my guess would be between ausar, harris or burks.

I would like to see;

Ivey
Burks
Cade
Bojan
Stewart

5 legit threats from 3. See what happens. You could even sub out I ey, and start Harris.

Cade
Burks
Harris
Bojan
Stewart

Might as well.

My preference doing with what we have

Killian
Cade
Ausar
Bojan
Stew

We need to try and score as close to the basket as possible.... Darvin Ham said he wanted AD to shoot 6 threes a game. He shot 0 and they won the IST, scoring 40 (16-24), along with 20 rebounds. Defensive stops, and RUN LIKE HELL

Look at the plays run for the Pacers, and how they fit the team, VS Montys plays, and slow pace.

Night and day coaching.

Fairly sure the Pacers have the worst defense in the league while being the best offense. If we can't score against this defense, then it truly is the end times

Haliburton already having 7 assists is mind-boggling

We actually played defense against this group. It's a miracle

Ivey has been a very good spark plug. Please keep running small instead of the twin towers line up Monty

Is Monty just drawing numbers from a hat on these rotations?
