Every game feels the same. Hang in there, give up like 40-45 pts in the 3rd, get behind more, and then the other team pulls away in the 4th.

Almost regardless of who we play.

We can make excuses like missing players, but so can Memphis, OKC, and didn't a key player for Indy leave last night? Seems like no teams are completely healthy, or few of them.

Playing with heart is pretty much absent outside of the rookies. Royce, Okogie and Plumlee who is a disaster at least hustle.

Our center position is pretty much where it was before we got Ayton. The only big bodies we have are not the kind you want on the floor. And the loudest rumblings are about Jimmy Butler. We could easily suck with him too.

What kind of effort is this?
No one on the team cares anymore.


It's similar to another play where Book was just watching 3 Pacers go up for an offensive rebound and putback and he didn't even make an effort to sort of box out for the rebound.

Just really weak and pathetic play from the big 3 who aren't doing the small things to win games. Mental midgets.
