Pretty much this. Need Dame and Khash to heat up or else it's 1-2-3 Cancun.

So sad though. Giannis would either get a layup every time vs these guys or kick it out for a wide open layup.

He's not the whole problem but he's part of it. Him and Portis can not play together. The Pacers run circles around that lineup.

The lineup is fine when Beasley isn't in.

Beasley managed to be -11 in ten minutes in the first half.

He switches when he feels like it, doesn't pickup in transition and rotates to the wrong spot constantly.

He failed four times to stop the ball in transition when the Bucks had numbers on defense and once ran away from his guy when his guy had the ball in the lane.

when indy gets comfortable they are tough. You need to disrupter, like a bit of chaos with AJJ, it kinda freaks the pacers out and once they get uncomfortable they tighten up and start making mistakes or take bad shots.

it worked last game and it worked in previous stints with AJJ this series. You let indy get comfortable and it's over. Doc can't wait to mix it up it will be too late.

If we lose ... you still have me posting 120 times on the 2024 draft , there is nothing better than that.

Not to mention never picking anyone up on the glass. He saw Hali freely following his own shot and just watched.

Can't play Dame and Beas together, especially with some Brook/Bobby/Gallo combo. And Dame needs to be out there as much as possible so Beas can be benched. Need some ball handler that isn't Pat Connoughton on the floor at all times. Take some weird staggering from Doc. Or he trusts AJJ.

Yeah, thought it was about to balloon.

There will be adjustments. The team has a better idea of what Dame is capable tonight.

And Gallanari was -10 in 4 minutes.

Just incompetence from Doc.

Yeah, this Pacers team is actually pretty mediocre. You'd never know it if you've only watched them this season when they have played the Bucks, but they're really not that good. Knicks or Sixers will make pretty quick work of them in round 2.

Nah, refs haven't been great but they made bad calls for both teams. Can't blame them.

But what are we shooting?

The Bucks could win this game and Doc still ain't it cuz he ****** up the whole first half.

Jackson has been consistently good. Give him burn

Live by the vets die by the vets. Also, the lack of passing is hurting the ability to get open 3s. The Bucks need 3pt shooting.

I think Barkley is on this board. We have some contrarians who like attention. 8-)

I think they can beat Philly if Embiid is still hurt and slow. Knicks beat them in 4 or 5 barring injury.
