Their D is actually wore than ours now, according to pretty much every metric.

One of the most understated aspects of Haliburton's game is the fact that his man scores at will on him. He can pop off for 30+ on any given night, but take a close look at what he gives up on the other end. I kind of feel bad for Indy that, due to player empowerment, they had to play along with him chasing that supermax last season.

It will be tough for us to beat any team twice in a row, but we do have a chance here.

Bruce Brown is going to take 2 months for his conditioning rehab... maybe he should have saved his speech last week for when he was about to play lol

Honestly, I thought that "message for the fans" meant he was due to return that week. This is getting comical now.

Ah yes, team that has 12 guys who all play like they're 6'3. Should be fun to watch...

Dick and Brown are definitely ready to play, they're holding them out just because they can.

Ever wonder when Bruce injured his knee? It was about 27 games into last year.

It's crazy how fast perception changes.

A year ago the Pacers and Hali were darlings of the league with a run to the Cup final. Now look at them.

A win would put us 2 games behind the Pacers. My prediction is the Raptors will lose the match with a JaKobe 26 pt game

we need the Pacers to be bad NEXT YEAR..not this....

That said, i think we win this one. Another 30 point game from Barrett and a triple double from Scottie...

They just need to continue this downward trajectory next year and give us a good pick.

I don’t think they expected Siakam to be the best player when they made the trade and as we all know .. a Siakam led team doesn’t exactly have a high ceiling.

Pacers really struggling defensively...

Haliburton is punch. That guys value was pumped so hard. They got to limit three point fgs

Teams should only be able to take max 6 threes a quarter and if they go above those attempts then any basket after that is worth two points

That limit would be the end of guys like Haliburton that have fully benefited from the 3pt-revolution.
The 3-revolutation has had many people believing that Hali is a superior basketball player than De'Aaron Fox :nonono:

!

Hali will get his 3pt-stroke back though.

Do the Pacers exact revenge or do the Raps dominate again? Do you miss Pascal?
