Such an odd game for us. Pacers not feeling us on D at all. Just get to wherever they want on the floor. White has been abysmal since early minutes of this game.

The fouls are only 13 to 12, even though it seems like they're getting every whistle.

Despite everything, the game is still right there for the taking

Joe's been bad, White's been bad, a lot has been bad.

But IND outplaying Boston for the second game in three.

Well, we just thought we were going to cakewalk our way through this. I'm confident we'll kick their asses next game. I don't see it happening this game.

It’s disappointing that we acquire an attack dog guard defender in his 3rd yr at the deadline and he takes up a playoff roster spot but is not playable in a game like this. Jaden Springer, I was hoping he was year 3 Avery Bradley but … guess not. And with Walsh clearly not ready, KP and Luke hurt and Jrue sick … man, we just seem a little bit short on options right now.

I don’t think the jays are playing that bad defensively but white and Jrue letting nembherdt and McConnell to go off like that is a joke
