Ps Even my emotional a$$ didn’t double down on the Pacers. Saving it for when/if we get our stuff together.

Having said that, we looked good tonight outside of the last 6 minutes, we played a solid 42 minutes of ball.

Sliding here. 6/7 losses. Ouch.

The Spurs had a season high 1st half point total against us. One game later the Pacers set a season high 4th quarter against us. Capela sitting the last 6 minutes crushed us.

His message of repeating things for 76 seconds. I heard that crap last night. We need a game plan coach Kobe of this bs make the next pass cliche crap.

I want 12 TJ McConnell’s on my team.

He plays like he loves the game and isn’t getting paid. :(

He has the best NET rating of IND this season, and they played like he's a 12th man. I don't know what they analyze before the game.

On the bright side we had super Cam tonight. Just moving with tons of energy. He played hard and the results showed. Keep building Cam!

How does Trae not shoot any 3s the entire game?

At the end of the day, the fact that we keep losing in the 4th...Lloyd is going to have to go.

Trae:

“We have to continue to learn on the fly,” Young said via The Athletic. “We’re getting guys in and out. We’re mixing guys in. (Saturday), we just kind of went out there and just tried to play with effort. We just got to figure out how to close better and kind of learn on the fly.”

“I just think a lot of teams are throwing things at us that we’re not prepared for right now,” he added.

At some point, someone has to take accountability for what’s going on. Continually blowing leads in the fourth quarter is an indictment of the coaching staff’s inability to get this team in the right spots to win games. Players not making open shots and having defensive mental lapses are on them. The players and coaches don’t appear to be on the same page as to who’s at fault and if it is a collective issue. This has to get sorted out quickly; otherwise, it has the potential to get worse fast.

The Hawks are trending in the wrong direction, and no one seems to have answers as to why. That’s a problem.

“We just really have to find a way to win,” Young said. “It’s hard as hell to win in this league. We’re not fine with excuses with guys being out. We still have to find a way to dig in and make some shots and get some stops and find a way to win. That’s pretty much the bottom of the line.”

Wasn't there some concern about his drive or his love of the game coming out of college?

Need more from the bench.
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D
