We’re gonna miss out on this top 3 pick and the cycle will continue won’t it🫩

SpinJitsu259 | Pacers

14 | 19 hours ago

Luckily in this draft, you might just get yourself a hell of a player 8-9 deep.

GriffinQ | WAS

9 deep would mean the Knicks got that player :(

puppytossedsalad | Bullets

This draft is like 7 deep man

CasualHindu | Hornets

With how you guys are tanking this season, I hope you dont. Jazz, Wizards, Pacers, none of yall deserve top 3 picks.

SpinJitsu259 | Pacers

28 | 19 hours ago

Oh here we go. One of those “we tanked the right way” insufferables.

GlizzyGone21 | Bucks

18 | 19 hours ago

It’s not like the pacers have truly ever tanked like this before either

Disastrous-Special30 | Pacers

First time I’ve seen it and I’m 35.

SpinJitsu259 | Pacers

5 | 19 hours ago

For sure, but I don’t think the ethical tank pretenders care about that sort of nuance. I think they’re only concerned with either a) being jealous the Pacers might add an elite prospect to an already-good team when healthy, and b) wanting to believe that “their” team does things the right way.

Disastrous-Special30 | Pacers

15 | 19 hours ago

Yeah man fuck our players for getting hurt and shit. Inconsiderate bastards.

Who yall got in game 2??

VictorAkwaowo1 | Mavericks

12 | 19 hours ago

Look I get it, but it’s just funny that we’re gonna see about 6-8 teams have these blantant tanking 4th quarter lineups for the rest of the season

Malcolm_Reynolds1 | Pacers

13 | 19 hours ago

You’re talking the Wizards right? Cause Pacers played game starters a lot in the 4th

OnePaperFourCoin | Pacers

19 | 19 hours ago

People don’t pay attention to the Pacers in the regular season when they’re winning, obviously they’re not gonna know shit about what’s actually going on with the Pacers when they’re losing

Hibbert’s Law of Indiana Basketball holds up in the strangest conditions

DaggerDev5 | UTA

-6 | 19 hours ago

You guys played Micah Potter 27 minutes tonight. That’s a classic Jazz tanking move. Just accept that you tanked the hell out of tonight, which you should have, and it’ll pay off in the future.

OnePaperFourCoin | Pacers

10 | 19 hours ago

It’s not exactly like they had Wilt Chamberlain waiting in the wings

DaggerDev5 | UTA

1 | 18 hours ago

Sure, but even Jay Huff is better than Potter and he only played 21 minutes tonight

tcollins371 | Pacers

6 | 18 hours ago

Jay Huff is so inconsistent on offense this isn’t necessarily true lol. For reference Huff is shooting 31.5% from 3 while Micah Potter is shooting 37.5% from 3. Both are averaging about 4 rebounds a game too.

DaggerDev5 | UTA

1 | 18 hours ago

I’m just saying, your starters didn’t play much tonight. That’s fine, I have nothing against teams tanking, but it’s funny to act like that wasn’t happening tonight

tcollins371 | Pacers

5 | 18 hours ago

Nesmith got hurt during the game while Nembhard was hot ass so Rick pulled him to let the young guys play. The other starters are normally bench guys and haven’t gotten big minutes and Walker was visibly gassed down the stretch. Huff has only been getting 20 minutes a game all season. Please quit talking out your ass about the teams rotation

DaggerDev5 | UTA

-3 | 18 hours ago

Your team is tanking dude. I saw you guys sit your entire rotation when you played the Jazz and then bench Quenton Jackson down the stretch when he was lighting it up. You can pretend your team isn’t pulling strings to tank against other tanking teams but it’s pretty obvious. Just own it

TurkishDonkeyKong

Nembhard and Nesmith didn’t play the 4th quarter

Malcolm_Reynolds1 | Pacers

4 | 17 hours ago

Nesmith played 13 total minutes. Nembhard played like shit.

Are we not allowed to sit players for playing poorly? Or is everyone else allowed and the Pacers arent?

ApexxPredditor | Pistons

-6 | 18 hours ago

The Pacers are tanking so hard they even have players not caring and it’s obvious to anyone not a Pacers fan.

Your fans cheer on the tank and then the next second claim theyre not tanking. come on

Malcolm_Reynolds1 | Pacers

3 | 17 hours ago

The players care, that has been obvious all season. Siakam and others have made it very well known this has not been a fun season at all for them

Fans still want close, competitive games. No one is clamoring for a blowout

SpinJitsu259 | Pacers

8 | 19 hours ago

The Jazz walked so we could all run.

thurstkiller | Jazz

This is the tanking playoffs. May the best team win.

aimee829 | Pacers

its the tournament at the other end of the standings…. (oh look, Adam… you don’t need to create another tournament to fight tanking)

finally, a win

Kobe Brown might go from a throw in trade piece to a legit deep bench guy for us lol.

Sensitive_Worry2499

what a terrible loss for the Wizards

Drak_is_Right | Pacers

4 | 18 hours ago

Pacers had a core 8 man rotation in the playoffs last season, with the starting 5 having a big Net.

Of those 8, 2 are no longer on the Pacers, 2 are on longterm injury, 2 didn’t play tonight, and 2 played.

Zubac had a kid literally the day before he moved. Time off NORMALLY in such a situation would be standard. Just not for sports. In Europe a normal worker would get like a half year off for the kid and the move.

Our roster after those 8 fell off fast to rather subpar caliber. Walker has improved a good bit, but he still has a long way. Furphy was lost for the year. Shepphard has struggled hard all year (not sure why). Not sure why Jackson didn’t play. We traded our other Jackson. Huff is mediocre.

I loved seeing Jarace Walker have 19/13/7, but not play the last final minutes. Don’t wanna accidentally win the game like that South Park baseball episode now do we??

OnePaperFourCoin | Pacers

23 | 19 hours ago

Jarace was solid until the game appeared out of reach in the 4th when he proceeded to crash out. Taelon hit some 3s and suddenly it was a 2 possession game for a hot second - after Jarace sat following his poor play.

Did you actually watch and pay attention to the game or are you just following the trend of baseless whining?

SpinJitsu259 | Pacers

10 | 19 hours ago

He actually kinda helped throw the game away late with a bunch of bad turnovers/decisions. In his defense he looked pretty damn tired.

hotsexychungus | Pacers

Carlisle is really good with the stealth tank. It’s these kind of moves that got the mavs luka back in the day.
