Are Pacers a bunch of WUSSIES? 

Post#1 » by heyPlayer » Sun Jan 15, 2017 4:19 pm

From the coach down to the players to pg13. They don't get angry when they get outplayed, it seems.

Are they just really confident or just really soft? For example a really confident team will play bad and not make a big fuss out of hit because they KNOW next time they will just destroy and they know how good they are.

Is that what the Pacers are doing right now or that's not even close.

At beginning of the season as a scouter, I had put the Pacers towards the top of the East because they have a healthy and active pg13, a shifty pg in Teague , Big Al, Stuckey, miles turner, not having Ian Mihami hurts them right now....

How about Nate McMillan? How does he feel about how he's doing and his team's performances?

No i dont think so. They are just not a good defensive team and get exposed very easily.

I don't think they are gay or something similar or at least I hope they are not :P
but the Pacers sure could use a player like David West or Roy Hibbert on one of his confident days or a younger Monta Ellis.
Those players were willing to play hard almost every single game and it was infectious for others.

Today, we don't have enough of it or the people who are responsible to make the other players feel responsible are not doing their job properly.

They played tough tonight. First half they were getting punk'd by the Kings but they went right at them in the second half and didn't back down. Just look what they did to Cousins in the second half..

It's the NBA, they have 82 games, you can't just get angry every time you get outplayed or lose a game. That being said, sometimes it looks like players just don't care at all, I agree, but the Pacers are fine right now. They lost that game in London, which I think broke their flow a little but they still managed to win the last 2 games which is big for their confidence

Man I went to bed pissed off. But, woke up trying to figure out what the hell happened. Think this was a turning point for the team. Usually when we had gotten down we threw in the towel. Great sign to battle back!!!

Yeah we could use David West that is a bad man! IDK if there is anyone in the NBA who brings the leadership West does, unless we're talking about LBJ or a Tim Duncan.
