PG: Awful gameplan, not prepared, not 1 good performance 

Post#1 » by K_ick_God » Wed May 28, 2025 2:46 am

There are problems with the team, roster wise, obviously, but the combination of the roster and Tom is really toxic

It's dumb to start off with JB shooting every time after what KAT did but then again, KAT mostly sucked, our defense was awful, Tom doesn't know which lineups work or not, he's a mess. IF you start off with the presumption that KAT can win it again, maybe it happens ... he played badly, but only really badly after the team had already fallen apart

Hali and Pacers coaching was impressive ... Siakam has been great. Maybe they win anyway because:

KAT sucked

0g needs to go, he can't make a layup and his shooting kind of sucks

Mikal has zero awarness, no intensity, mopes around and looks blank half the time, tons of careless plays. And yet all he does is play every minute. The dude is a MAJOR disaster and it won't get better ... he's the king of meaningless 3's

Deuce got very little time or chances but did make a bad pass

Awful but probably still win the series if Tom didn't completely give away a done W in G1. Or at least, that propels them and they can eke out the series. Pacers came ready to make sure we didn't win ... and Tom, well he's Tom

Remember Game 1 should be like Remember the Alamo

Brunson got thoroughly outplayed by Haliburton. Shameful.

We’re still in this. Coach had us ready to come out strong but the players kept turning the ball over putting us in a hole. On to MSG

Indiana has played very well. Hali, Siakam, and Nesmith were excellent.

Also, the referees were good complementary players for the Pacers.

Haliburton killing the glass with 12 rebounds is crazy. Securing boards is absolutely vital in the playoffs.

Garbage coaching. Proved that last game was done out of spite on his end. He didn't plan on winning that game.

Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges were absolutely pathetic tonight. They sold

Thibs gets outcoached yet again… so done with him

Can’t believe we were spamming Bridges down the stretch with how he played tonight

The team has only had one season, we should run it back with a few bench moves but keep the core and coach 2-3 more seasons.

If KAT is injured it’s over for this franchise.

Not because he’s that great but because he will have 0 trade value this offseason.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Chin up guys. We deserve to rant but do not give in to despair. Let's not give up yet.
