Pacers are on a back-to-back. Lost to a depleted Bucks team in Milwaukee last night as a 3.5 point road favorite, 83-82.
They're laying a -10 tonight.

We've got a slight chance in this one because they are on a B2B and its come out that Sabonis wants out of town so perhaps that's enough distraction to let us keep it close and possibly steal one. Feels like its been forever since we've won a game.

In some ways, Indiana is having a far worse year than Detroit. Pistons might be underperforming, but the plan wasn't that much better. Indiana just had a front page article on ESPN about how awful a person their head coach is, one of their best player wants out, their prize rookie is 24, and their team's not getting better. Their season's climax will likely be a trade.

Hard part for me is I like their players individually - just not as a team.

Gonna ROMP BABY. The Bulls got lucky they didn't face us. Their team was probably healthy and they were so afraid to face us they plotted to fake sickness to avoid playing our juggernaut of a team.

Well this makes me want to watch the game. Just read that Casey isn’t going to be coaching tonight. This could be interesting.

Their front court is going to feast.

Yep. Rex Kalamian is HC tonight. He was with Casey in Toronto, and then went to the Clippers and assisted Doc Rivers.

This is quite unusual, hopefully not health related issues

Anyone know why Casey is taking the night off?

Yeap, I hope Casey is ok, I know people hate him around here, but he seems like a decent guy and is well liked and respected around the league.

I'm guessing Casey came up with a positive Covid test. It seems to be spreading through the league at the moment.

He’s pretty much been coaching them already. During timeouts he’s been calling the plays. Casey’s usually looking over the player’s shoulder at the play he’s drawing up.

I've noticed FSD has been talking to him after games lately as well.

How many points does Cade need tonight to get to 16ppg on the season?

Yea I have league pass so it cuts to the huddle early and he's been calling plays more and more frequently.
