What a shot, Tyrese.

He's shooting from 3 very well this season. He chooses not to.

EDIT: he's sucking from 3 this season. He shot 40 and 44% from 3 prior 2 seasons.

Pacers offense is not working.

TJ bailed them out with the make, but they keep running the clock down. That isn’t their game.

No-one wants to see players get injured and I hope the best for Nesmith, he is a good player. But if he is out longer, does that open up a new opportunity for an improbable Knicks series comeback when being down 0-3? Or is this series a wrap, Nesmith or no Nesmith on the active roster?

Pretty hilarious that carlisle benched TJ for kids and they were looking to trade him. Then someone gets hurt and Carlisle east his words ever since.

Pacers need to change this lineup.

They’ve done nothing but suck.

Giving Toppin the ball in the post will never end well. He is an energy guy who can shoot 3s. Thats it.
