I don't get it. Bjorkgren stunk as the Pacers head coach and he was let go. What is there to get revenge for.

It was quite objectively a failed project. Nate wasn't ready.

Brogdon, Myles and Sabonis will be eager to beat their former coach too!

Revenge for slandering him in the media. No doubt the “source” for that article was Kevin Pritchard.

2-3 sounds a lot better than 1-4.

Would be great to grab a win tonight

Didn’t Bjorkgren tell his players he didn’t want them wearing durags on the team plane? I’m sure a lot of the allegations were BS but there was obviously some tension there

Haven’t heard that but if he Really did that, then I don’t really even blame Indiana. That’s stupid

We need Oshae back for our all Canadian lineup with names starting with B.

Birch
Boucher
Brissett
Brooks
Banton
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Not great for our poor outside shooting/horrible finishing at the rim theme though.

Are we already tanking or just preparing for the tank?

One thought about Duarte is he was getting a ton of burn when Levert was out. If he is back I think Duarte will be coming off the bench.

One strategy I thought about was sticking Scottie on Levert. I think Levert coming off a back issue won't want to deal with the very physical Barnes. It might be a good option to take him out of any rhythm.

has nothing to do with it. Shooting will improve, not so worried on that. overall, the rule changes bodes well for us and plays to an even more advatange on the defensive end

In theory I agree but we got to finish inside better otherwise there will be too much pressure on those outside shots. I do think both will improve but with how that finishing went last year and to start this year, they need to snap out of it soon.

FVV|OG|Barnes|Siakam|Turner TOP3 in the east.

Turner's playing time has been a bit strange the last 2 games after that 40+ pts outburst.
That Sabonis|Turner duo remains in question!
