We're going to get McConnell'd again.

We need to hire a full time free throw hypnotist for the guy

This team is so Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde it’s unbelievable. I’m having a hard time getting excited right now.

He did the same thing at the end of half against orlando

Three thoughts:

1) I've been defending Doc a lot, but the Pacers are running the same action over and over to get wide open threes. That's coaching.

2) The lack of guards who can stay in front of their guards is front and center. Dame has been horrible, just letting guys by him.

3) On offense, the Pacers are blitzing Giannis and Dame. I wonder if they realize this is a two man team? Luckily, Prince is showing up.Not so much Kuzma.

It's amazing how Green picked up two fouls on plays where Giannis defenders get no calls

He’s not very good at basketball. A lot of people desperately wished for that to be untrue.

eh, take him off the floor and you'll be demanding we sign PJ Tucker. Fans managing their expectations is the problem here.

Turner gets away with so much, cmon...

Kuzma isn't helping at all on offence unless he's cutting to the rim. The spacing issues are legit.

The trick with Siakam is providing him with enough space to be the clown that he is

My god this Pacers team is so unlikable.

Kuzma isn’t a difference maker when it counts.

Is he ever really?

I have thought this for months but I think Lillard goes too fast on screens set for him.

Giannis sleeping off ball allowing Toppin and dunk.

Would be nice if we were aware at all

Granted i haven’t really followed him post wiz days but when did thomas bryant start making jumpers?

I've never seen so many guys so far away from the shooters on defense.

I have had enough of TJ McConnell for one lifetime

Bernman · Post #120 » by **Bernman** » Wed Mar 12, 2025 1:13 am

Brook's not putting up enough resistance at the rim nor offensively enough of a shot-maker to justify his place in most lineups these days. And Kuz is not enough spacing at the 3 in many games, so we need more of those Giannis 5-Kuz 4 lineups.
