VERY IMPORTANT STAT ALERT!: Payton Pritchard is 15-1 vs. Pascal Siakam incl. the recent 4-0 drubbing in the 2024 ECF. The lone loss was in March 2022 when Cs didn't have Tatum, Brown, Horford, and Timelord active in the lineup.

Pacers shooting 31 percent from the 3,
26th in the NBA,
but Halliburton is 8-18 after struggling with 3-pointers in earlier games...

Cr: Joe Murray

Perk on ESPN giving the Pacers all kinds of bulletin board material. Says they stopped woking hard after signing contracts.

I wonder if Nembhard will revert back to not Michael Jordan now that it isn’t the playoffs

Boston starters currently averaging 102.4ppg, has to be a record doesn't it?

He plays for Entertainment 720 now.

Celtics need shot-blockers in there so that Pacers can't get hot from mid-range...

Would seem like an ideal game for dual bigs, like a Queta-Horford tandem, with Horford spreading the floor, and Queta near the basket, as the roaming swatter...

That speaks to the importance of role players.

Tatum deserved an assist on that Nembhart basket.

Think this one is a loss, don’t think we’ve been amazing and lots of traveling and flying early

calling a loss a half a quarter into the game while trading leads is kinda crazy. I think that's the kind of thought best left unsaid.

Extremely sloppy start on both ends

Unless you mean we are not winning by 30.

Passing (receiving) leaving a little to be desired.

Bill Lumbergh · Post #38 » by **Bill Lumbergh** » Wed Oct 30, 2024 11:21 pm

Defense is buttho.

ConstableGeneva · Post #39 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Wed Oct 30, 2024 11:22 pm

Sloppy passing to start this game. Stop forcing it inside maybe? We're also swinging the ball into where the defense is ready to close out. WTF.

ConstableGeneva · Post #40 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Wed Oct 30, 2024 11:22 pm

Another case of poor offense leading to easy offense the other end for the Pacers.
