Sikkly290 | Suns

That just isn’t his skill set. On a contender he is an absolute weapon, but on a bad team he just can’t elevate his teammates to get wins.

Disastrous-Special30 | Pacers

It’s Siakam and the Noblesville Boom.

flaming_burrito_ | Lakers

52 | 2 days ago

Honestly, it’s way better than a standard bad team. Most bad teams are just bad and don’t really have much hope of becoming contenders in the near future, they’re just stuck in purgatory. While the Pacers look like dogshit right now, this is actually the ideal outcome for them. They know that once Hali comes back and if they can get a decent center, they’ll be back to contending. They should want to tank during this off year anyway because they have their 2026 first round pick and this draft class is stacked. It was looking like the Pacers org was too prideful to just tank this year and take the new talent, but injuries are forcing them to, so this will probably work out in their favor for next year.

inezco | Warriors

46 | 2 days ago

The Pacers organization is wildly underrated. Since 1989 they’ve never had a top 5 pick and since drafting 7th in 1989 their only top 10 pick was Benedict Mathurin at #6 in 2022. They’ve only missed the playoffs 9 times in the last 36 years. Will be interesting to see if they can nab the #1 overall pick for the first time in franchise history. They’ve never had the #1 pick!

flaming_burrito_ | Lakers

14 | 2 days ago

Yep, the Pacers are historically very good, they just have bad luck and keep running into legendary teams whenever they get good enough to contend. I hope they get at least a top 3 pick this year, that would be great. I’m rooting for the Lakers overall, but I have to admit, the team I liked watching the most last season was the Pacers, and I really want this squad to get a chip.

theconmeister | Pacers

2 | a day ago

Also traded from #7 to #8 in 2023 for Jarace Walker who has been pretty disappointing, really hope he can develop into a reliable player, seemed destined to be a future starter but is in his head right now and then some

MrFudgeKiller | Timberwolves

13 | 2 days ago

They’ve had Nembhard miss like 7 games, Mathurin been out since the second game when he was looking like an all star, Toppin out for atleast a month, TJ missed first 10 games, Nesmith is now out potentially. It’s just all gone wrong

DjToastyTy | Pacers

10 | 2 days ago

toppin is out until at least the all star break

Transky13 | Pacers

7 | 2 days ago

Pointing out the obvious, our max contract elite pg is out as well and Furphy (who despite his lack of scoring has been pretty good defensively and at the little things in his minutes) is out too. Not that it matters but our two rookie guards we drafted have also been injured, even though they had low expectations anyways.

MrFudgeKiller | Timberwolves

3 | 2 days ago

Yh just left out Tyrese bcuz that was a given going into the season and I forgot Furph

Transky13 | Pacers

4 | 2 days ago

I figured, just thought I’d clarify to show how ridiculous it is. I also totally forgot to mention Jackson, who was our third PG this year and has been really good when he’s played. There’s literally so many it’s hard to count

To put it into perspective we had a hardship player show up on the injury report and not play last night lol

MrFudgeKiller | Timberwolves

3 | 2 days ago

Yh it’s really unfortunate. Obv I’m not a pacers fan but that playoff run made me really appreciate the team cuz I’m a new fan and it was my first playoffs. Hopefully next year you guys get back on track with Hali I’ll be rooting for em in the east

Robinsonirish | Finland

11 | 2 days ago

It’s a skill to be 1-11 if you’re tanking, so he’s doing a great job. Pacers should be happy where things are heading, instead of fucking around as a 12th seed. Difficult part is that Wizards are also 1-11, and BKN is 1-10.

Tankathon going to be hot this year.

Because it’s quite literally a g league roster + pascal and Nesmith

Padulsky21 | Nets

22 | 2 days ago

Obviously Hali aside, the Mathurinn injury was the one that hurt the most. Started the season off hot and he’s the dude on that team that’s gonna shoot endlessly. Even just him, Nembhard and Siakam could make more things worse but the lack of a center alongside the g league guys is just too much man. Jarace Walker being disappointing doesn’t help either

LukaMagicMike | Slovenia

And didn’t Nesmith just get hurt too?

JHaliMath31

10 | 2 days ago

It’s not just Hali injured. Mathurin, Nembhard, tj, nesmith and obi have all been out too. It’s a g league team they are actually playing games with.

Transky13 | Pacers

6 | 2 days ago

We’ve actually pounded your assholes balls deep for the last two years and you still can’t recognize our players?

We have legitimately had an ungodly amount of people miss games.

Hali, Nemby, TJ, Benn, Obi have all been injured who are core rotation players.

Furphy and Jackson, who were both expected to step into a bigger role, have been injured.

Our two rookie guards are injured. I’m gonna reiterate here, we had a point where we had all 4 NBA level point guards hurt

Nesmith just got hurt. Pascal has missed a game.

WE HAVE HAD A HARDSHIP PLAYER MISS A GAME AND BE ON THE INJURY REPORT.

Padulsky21 | Nets

It’s wonderful seeing the Suns finally taking a chance on a young assistant coach rather than appeasing the vets with the old rehashed guys the Suns ran through with. The game is just built more for these guys now.

S21500003 | Bucks

12 | 2 days ago

Yeah, its a little like a paradox. If you have, or think you have, a champsionship caliber roster, you don’t want to take the risk of an unknown, so you rehash the old guys. But the ceiling is so much higher with a new guy, but no gm/owner wants to take that risk.

Top-Round-2359

3 | 2 days ago

I don’t think that really is the case, except if you mean only hiring externally. Most recent - Denver (a contender) is taking a risk with a young coach in Adelman. Even better examples are Boston with Mazulla and OKC with Daigneault, and both won a championship. If you mean only hiring externally, then it’s probably true.

S21500003 | Bucks

6 | 2 days ago

Yeah, hiring young coaches externally is just such a massive risk. For Daigneault though, OKC kinda blew it up when they hired him. So that one was nowhere near a contender.

The KD trade might end up being a win-win for both sides

cohonan | Suns

64 | 2 days ago

KD is a a supremely gifted efficient basketball savant, but his “too cool for school” attitude is not conducive to winning basketball.

When there were strong personalities on GSW - Curry, Kerr, Draymond - it didn’t matter. And I think Houston has good leadership too.

But Booker seems to adopt the personae of his teammates, he’s a great teammate. And I much prefer the Chris Paul and now yes maybe the Dillon Brooks version of Booker to the KD one.

BayesBestFriend | Raptors

cohonan | Suns

They keep reporting his recent hip surgery as “season ending” when I’m pretty sure it’s “career ending” who thinks he has anything left at this point.

95castles | Suns

Definitely has more than enough to retire very comfortably with his current Suns’ social security payments.

Late_Emu_810

24 | 2 days ago

It depends how green turns out, if he has a Tyrese, Brunson style of development and rockets don’t win a ring I think we win it by a long run. Also if maluach and Fleming turn out to be good, we def win it by far

Puppetmaster858 | Suns

4 | 2 days ago

Don’t expect him to have a Brunson development, Brunson has been elite the last couple seasons and it’s highly unlikely green is that good, if he can ever play at an all star/all star caliber level that will be a big win for us. He needs to be a lot more efficient on offense if he ever wants to be a really good player

Ok but Siakim/Nembhard/Nesmith is better than one win imo

tcollins371 | Pacers

50 | 2 days ago

Nembhard only just came back like two games ago and has been struggling with his shot. Nesmith has been very streaky this season. Siakam has been our best player but he’s not the type of player who can single handedly win a game.

We had a lot of close games early on that just didn’t go our way. Dallas we lost with Nesmith having an open 3 that would have won the game. Milwaukee beat us on a buzzer beater. OKC went into Double OT.

Our 2nd best player has to now be our best player. Our 4th best player now has to be our 2nd best player. Our 5th best player now has to be our 3rd best player. Our center situation is awful. The 2 point guards that are playing just came off of injuries and we have no depth due to all the injuries. On top of that our lotto pick jarace walker is going to be cut soon because hes so ass.

shake_this_feeling | Suns

3 | 2 days ago

Was really hoping Walker would pop off this year with the opportunity at hand. Watching him blow multiple attempts at the rim against our third stringers did feel like it could be the final straw. You think they’ll cut him to keep JRE?

BraveTree4481 | Pacers

3 | 2 days ago

I honestly think we might just cut him because hes so bad. He makes essentially zero impact on basketball games and half the time if he does its a negative impact. But yeah he has 2nd rounders and g leaguers come in and outplay him all the time and its his 3rd season. We may just let his contract go but theres no way he has any value at this point.

Besides the intensity, I feel like they just have a better “plan” on defense. The last 2 seasons, I remember I keep thinking “why does the enemy defense and switches on pick & roll look effortless? (while suns struggle)”

Though their offense this season also looks much better. I’m seeing a lot more driving to the paint.

The CP3 era 64 win team did but they were very strategic on when they’d turn up the intensity, it was like clockwork in the clutch when they’d clamp down. But yeah besides that probably never

I honestly feel we’re taking on Dillon Brooks personality like we did Chris Paul’s.

CP3 taught tenacity on offense and how to work professionally, and the tricks, to get those points come hell or high water.

Brooks is doing the same thing, but also on the defensive end, to work your guy on defense and get that call or stop, and get that ball and turn it around on offense.

People clown Dillon Brooks, but he really is always a huge influence on his teams. He’s a great culture guy and really ups the defensive intensity of everyone around him, even if he sometimes plays dirty on the court. Other players dislike him because he can be a bit of a sore loser, but that’s probably because he cares so much.

That shift in intensity happened to the young Rockets too. Ime and FVV were also influences, but Brooks was undeniably a huge part of it.

cohonan | Suns

I was NOT happy hearing he was traded on to this team. But that shifted very quickly, before I even saw him play, honestly, seeing how Green and Brooks came over as a squad together like they knew something.

Suns this season have been trying to steal the Pacers formula of “try really fucking hard”, so I can’t say that I’m surprised that this game was chippy as hell from start to finish. Pacers play really fast and really hard. Definitely the kinda team you hate to see on a back to back.

Book this year is doing such a good job of empowering his teammates, every night it feels like there’s somebody else that steps up and takes advantage of his gravity. Even though he’s on the ball a lot, the ball doesn’t stick. Also very Haliburton and Pacer like

Not trying to compare injuries or anything, because nobody can against this Indy team, but we were without our 2nd, 3rd, and after Grayson went down, 4th best players this game and still managed to control the tempo from basically start to end.

I am ready to see us play against some more top tier teams though. Our schedule has been relatively easy for the past four or five games, which has been great for building chemistry and vibes, but I want to see how the team handles adversity. That said, I love watching this squad so much. At the very least, you can tell these guys actually enjoy playing basketball. I haven’t seen that from the Suns in years.

GG Indy. I hope when everyone comes back healthy, you are able to rebuild off the finals run hype. I’ll always love my first hometown team.

According to ESPN we’re 20th in defensive efficiency. Most of our problem is offense. We can’t score for shit which leads to easy fast breaks for the other team which leads to easy scoring.

I won’t sit here and act like we’re juggernauts on defense but that’s not our issue. Go look at the Pacers shooting numbers this season.

tcollins371 | Pacers

Pacers are shooting 40% from the field as a team and 29% from 3 as a team. Offense is the problem.

Is Grayson ok? He was playing his best basketball of his career can’t afford another injury of one of our scorers

Multi_21_Seb_RBR | NBA

5 | 2 days ago

Suns doing as well as anyone could could ask for a team without control of our picks until 2032 tbh. Book looks back to his best, Jalen Green (I know he hasn’t player much but still) looks like a great second scorer, Mark Willians a high floor big that all good teams need, Grayson and Royce and Dillon Brooks as good role players for us who can give them more scoring punch than expected (especially Grayson and Brooks), Gillespie a playable guard along with Goodwin.

Suns look like a high floor team high play in to maybe 6 seed between now and 2031-32 which is all any Suns fan could ask for. Compare that to how awful the Clippers look long term, or how shaky the Bucks look. At least they looking like a good team now + have Book, Green and Mark W for the long term and perhaps even use a combination of Grayson, Brooks or Royce to get picks too.

Not a bad spot considering how bad the Beal trade was and also trading for Nurkic then using our 2031 pick to ship his ass out was.

The Phoenix Suns (8-5) dominate the Indiana Pacers (1-11), 133-98 as DB1 and DB3 combine for 65 points
