Pacers Pick Tracking (Update: #19 officially)

[Mak]

Miami needs to go on a winning streak so they can get that 6th spot and hopefully Sixers can win some games with Embiid out.

Halliburton is still hurt, he is only playing because of the 65 game rule and since he has $40 mil on the line.
back to back 22 min game.
and guess what, minimum minutes to count as game played 20.

plus pacers fans coming to grip with Siakam's game.
"Need to stop giving Siakam the ball to initiate his own offense in crunch time. "

[dafan590]

if he keeps playing like this, his injury will not get healed lol

[Psubs]

Should be interesting to see players heading into the playoffs injured so they can get their money

This would just be normal in the 80's and 90's.

Yeah I watched some of that game the other night and watching Siakam late game forcing it and turning it over I can imagine their fans' frustration.

[bboyskinnylegs]

need the Kings to take care of business tonight before the Pacers pick up another win vs the Hornets.

Pacers have actually been playing pretty well of late with Haliburton being a complete non-factor due to injury. Good wins against the 76ers, Suns and played the Nuggets and Celtics pretty tight. They look good and Siakam has played very well for them.

Spurs totally blew it.

[RoteSchroder]

Spurs totally blew it.

Rest of the games didn't go in our favor.

Only game left is the Blazer's game, the most important team for our tank.

Orlando winning is better for us. Pacers can drop to 8th

In regards to our Pacers pick Spurs losing is not that bad

N-O, Miami, Sacramento, Magics is good

To avoid to conveys our pick, it’s unfortunate that Memphis, Portland, Charlotte, Spurs are all losing as well.

3-6 since the trade, and no one was even talking about wins. Just talking about how pacer fans get to see why no one ever wanted to build around a player like Siakam, he's anti clutch.

That team functionally looks really good….the pieces fit. Watch the actual games…..especially the ones they’ve played against elite teams recently. The Pacers landed an all star level player for late 1st rounders. Pacer fans are actually happy.

Again, no one is arguing that. We were discussing the hilarity of Pacer fans discovering how terrible Siakam is in late game situations.

He's actually been pretty good in the clutch this season. He'll look excellent on the Pacers as time passes because they have roster balance which is something the Raptors have lacked for several seasons.

I do hope the Raps can draft and develop a player as good as Siakam quickly because the current team now does have a major talent deficiency....although roster balance does look a lot better. Having only 1 guard with basic NBA level dribbling, passing and shooting skills was a major achilles heal which was the source of most of the team's dysfunction. When there is dysfunction....there is frustration. When there is frustration, a lot of fans look for quick scapegoats. Siakam became a scapegoat....especially after VanVleet could no longer be used as one.

the rule seems stupid. A young player jeopardizing his health for the million$. They need to revise this.
