What’s up with the Pacers, I’ve not kept up with them this year. Are y’all actively trying to tank?

I know Hali is out but I assumed with still having Siakam along with Nembhard and Mathurin improving they might be sorta competitive?

Funny-Transition7869 | Pacers

32 | 5 hours ago

we’re not actively tanking, we’re constantly signing guys and tinkering with lineups to try to win, we are just omega ass. its pretty disappointing, the key guys have actually been good imo its the role players around the edges that have been league worst by a fair bit, this game was kind of a fluke with jre and jarace making shots. id like it to continue but i doubt it

Proof-Umpire-7718 | Lakers

You have had a lot of injuries to important role players as well, such as Nesmith and TJ.

moonfish817 | IND

15 | 5 hours ago

This, we started the season with a slew of injuries, at one point like 8 guys were on the injured list for games at a time. These games that look closer now SHOULD have been within the first 10 games where guys were figuring out how to play with each other.

Although it sucks going from almost winning a championship to being terrible because of an injury, if you can land a top pick and then Halliburton comes back completely healthy, this could be the best thing for your future.

Accounting4lyfe | Pistons

Agreed, I don’t think we are frauds by any means, but I think OKC, Denver, Houston and SA with Wemby are going to be hard teams for us to beat. Full strength Cavs team as well. Luckily the east is pretty open this year with Hali and Tatum out.

That was copy and paste playoff mode. Ugly iso ball on offense and just hoping the other team misses shots. Turtled up like crazy but still got the W.

BraveTree4481 | Pacers

23 | 5 hours ago

Just the classic pacers experience dont worry too much about it. We still have that comeback gene in us just missing mr clutch shot. Wouldn’t read too much into it other than the pacers are getting better and you guys are really damn good. A win is a win.

aussierulesisgrouse | Pistons

You can really see how you guys pulled rabbits out of hats last year with Tyrese in the mix.

If 22% three point shooter Jarrace Walker going ⁵⁄₅ isn’t a great wakeup call for the Pistons to not get complacent when up 20 then I don’t know what is.
