We have no defense and no rebounds. I think that’s what’s killing us

It's not like Indiana played any defense.

Wuuuuuuuuuuut?

Indiana generally speaking is in the high scoring affairs with everyone. They lost a close game to one of the East's contenders by literally ONE basket.

Couldn't get rebounds when we needed them and KD and Beal sadly missed some good looks late

Well Haliburton was out

No Nurk was our downfall.

We went 5 out but 2 of those 5 (Beal and EG) were ghosts in the 2nd half.

Booker got fouled on that last shot. You're telling me the Pacers didn't commit 1 foul in that half? BS

OMG are guys always going to sit there waiting for a loss to decree the sky is falling again?

Again. This team has zero defense and they are the worst rebounding team I can remember. Can’t take them seriously until they fix that.

This has already been beaten to death bro. Their scoring average hasn't changed much without him, they have Siakam now, and they literally just beat Denver and Philly back to back prior to the Suns WITHOUT FREAKIN' HALIBURTON.

You have PTSD bruh.

we get outcoached every game, so this is not a surprise.
we definitely got outhustled tonight and by a tired team.

It's not like Indiana played any defense.

They can rebound at least. And Indiana can’t be taken seriously either.

They took 19 more shots than the suns.

The Pacers are scrappy. They kept missing easy buckets but they didn't get down and kept after it. They'd get like 4-5 offensive boards on a possession. I wish we had that kind of energy.

I think we kind of went into a funk after Beal got elbowed in the face. He was 5-8 at the time. I am unsure they should have brought him back in. I am sure his face was throbbing and he finished 0-5 I think. Won't be surprised if he has black eyes tomorrow.

But yeah, we might have also gotten into that KAT like thing the other night where they wanted to just get Booker points.He was 17-26 and 6-9 from 3 and finished 5-11 (not bad but not like what he was doing before) and 0-3 from 3. Maybe trying to do too much. KD maybe should have gotten a few more shots.

Just check Eric Gordon on that Obi's game winner.
Any resemblance to another Bahamas player is no coincidence.

ask yourself if you have seen any team in nba history who won a champioship constructed like this and played like this.
0 defense
bad rebounding
bad coaching.

you might win some regular season games, but surely will not go far in the post season.

In a month who won’t be a part of this team anymore?
