Let that be a message to the NBA. You can’t out-tank 37 minutes of Taelon Peter.

i watch a lot of wizards and even i have no idea who the fuck alondes williams is. man they’re really gonna get the 9th pick huh

GriffinQ | WAS

28 | 3 days ago

We cannot - if we pick outside top 8, it goes to the Knicks.

So yes, feels like the Knicks are going to get the 9th pick lmao. Do everything right during a rebuild and it’s still contingent on lottery balls favoring you. So it goes.

triforceofcourage | Spurs

4 | 3 days ago

I was about to say you guys have two games each against Utah and Chicago, and one against Brooklyn, so even if you win those five tank-offs 5-22 should be enough to keep you with solid odds to keep the pick but damn yeah with Memphis and Dallas not that far ahead of you y’all might need to lose some of those Utah/BKN/Chicago games

Leonsis might have to eat some fines because you might have to literally just sit the team on the sidelines for 48 minutes to lose to these guys, they aren’t playing around

Nah Bulls will, their front office is brain dead and tanked too late and these idiots are still playing the veterans the most minutes lmao

HeyItsChase | Pacers

27 | 3 days ago

Getting the 0-2 feels good. I imagine the 2-0 is devastating for the DC fans.

Jarace Walker is an enigma. He goes from insane talent to better learn Chinese like 15 times a game.

Darkblade511 | Wizards

14 | 3 days ago

Dude looks like he should be a legit NBA player, and even in games where he puts up decent numbers, he still looks bad. Bilal for Walker is such a lose-lose trade.

Walker will be great when Haliburton returns.

isubird33 | Pacers

I think Walker will be alright (hopefully) next year when he’s the like, 9th option for the Pacers.

GriffinQ | WAS

High ceiling low floor guy. Honestly the perfect developmental project this year while the team has no winning expectations and he’s still on his very cheap rookie scale contract.

sir_ruu | Pacers

it happened thursday night too. close game/decent lead the end of the 3rd, and then a pitiful 4th quarter where we give up runs and “forget” how to basketball

AddictionFiction | WAS

15 | 3 days ago

With how much complaining there was about the lottery being rigged, I’m not sure I understand losing it this hard over tanking.

Good game from Sharife, Alondes, and Jamir, even if its not against the stiffest competition.

thepeachgod | Celtics

-2 | 3 days ago

I don’t know how Utah has become the poster child for shameless tanking when a team who was literally in the finals last year is somehow 30 games under .500 and has to bench Jay Huff and Ben Sheppard cause they’re playing so good in favor of non-NBA players like “Quenton Jackson” and “Kam Jones”. Like seriously this organization is pathetic

Disastrous-Special30 | Pacers

42 | 3 days ago

I’ll take “you motherfuckers don’t watch us play” for 500 Alex.

fuzzynavel34 | IND

31 | 3 days ago

Uhhh look at the players we’ve had out this year

vexxes | WAS

-17 | 3 days ago

Yeah! Like pascal siakam for these two games against the wizards… for… personal? Reasons? He couldn’t make it alright!

SpinJitsu259 | Pacers

31 | 3 days ago

Imagine if you were alive when the Spurs gap yeared to get Tim Duncan. You would’ve been steamin’ mad.

GriffinQ | WAS

25 | 3 days ago

Because the Pacers actively compete every year when healthy, and Utah is now almost half a decade deep in progressively sucking more and more shit and being proud of it because of the long-term benefits.

They’re playing in the system as it’s designed, so I don’t bear the Jazz any ill will. But the Pacers losing half their best players (Toppin, Hali, sometimes Siakam, Nesmith) to injury and losing the other half to trades or FA (Turner, Benny Math) and finally making a business decision for the long term success of the franchise makes all the sense in the world.

Indy_Darrin | Pacers

25 | 3 days ago

29 players this season. They didn’t go into the season planning to tank. Now they’re doing what’s best for the organization.

Disastrous-Special30 | Pacers

12 | 3 days ago

Clearly none of those were real injuries. Our dudes just wanted to get stoned and play 2k.

shangalang69 | Raptors

24 | 3 days ago

this guy is so mad 🤣🤣

BasedGodProdigy | Nets

19 | 3 days ago

He’s fuming Boston is gonna have to see a fully healthy Pacers with a potential top 3 talent next year lmao

PresidentRevrac | Pacers

19 | 3 days ago

Utah is the poster child for how consistently they’ve done it. We’re doing a single year of tanking max then competing next year regardless

Ridged_ChiPSS | Bulls

19 | 3 days ago

Good for them honestly, if there’s no real punishment, it’s the smart thing for a franchise to do, especially knowing how stacked this year’s NBA draft is. They knew with Hali out the season is already over, may as well get another franchise cornerstone in a year that would have been lost anyways. Meanwhile incompetently ran franchises like the Bulls toil away in play-in hell year after year.

Until the rules change, this is going to keep happening.

Wasnaf1 | Pacers

13 | 3 days ago

Damn sensitive much. Nothing about Wizards distribution of minutes?

thepeachgod | Celtics

-16 | 3 days ago

Did the Wizards play in game 7 of the finals last year?

Wasnaf1 | Pacers

23 | 3 days ago

Yup, like let’s just ignore any context about how the pacers season went. You are upset that the 15-42 pacers aren’t trying to make a play in push? Getting a top pick while our best player recovers from a torn achilles is the correct business decision.

Edit: also you complaining that they’re not playing BEN SHEPPARD is hilarious, while also disrespecting Quenton Jackson in the process, Jackson is a legit player, he is actually solid.

hotsexychungus | Pacers

1 | 3 days ago

Jackson is a legit player, he is actually solid

Look, I like Jackson’s hustle, but let’s not get carried away lol.

thepeachgod | Celtics

-11 | 3 days ago

You’re gonna tell me that this is the same team that a week ago beat New York in OT? Like they play with that much heart and intensity every game?

Backno | Pacers

6 | 3 days ago

This is also the same team that after winning said games was given a bullshit fine for tanking. So if they are going to charge you for the crime might as well earn it.

Also tell me you haven’t paid attention to the team without actually saying it. Team from the 2nd game on had players dropping out for serious injuries. We at one time had multiple roster exceptions because we had no bodie

Disastrous-Special30 | Pacers

4 | 3 days ago

Did you ever consider that the Knicks suck?

Low_Brass_Rumble | Wizards

5 | 3 days ago

Pacers fans will really look at Siakam being out for the Wizards B2B for “personal reasons” and unironically be like “ethical tank because injuries!!!”

batmans420 | Pacers

26 | 3 days ago

Tbf, we only start resting guys right before the all-break break. We lost those fourteen games in a row while we were trying 😭

Disastrous-Special30 | Pacers

17 | 3 days ago

This is the best part. We’ve been actually tanking for like 2 maybe 3 weeks. But they wouldn’t know that because they don’t watch us play.

Disastrous-Special30 | Pacers

9 | 3 days ago

Everybody deserves some PTO bro. So sad that other fans don’t respect workers rights.

jasperplumpton | Pacers

1 | 3 days ago

Only 1 game for personal reasons, tonight he was injured lol

batmans420 | Pacers

4 | 3 days ago

It’s because they were only sitting players in the fourth quarter instead of ruling them out before the games. To be clear, I don’t think that it’s that bad. All tanking is kind of shameless. I can only hope that we are the most shameless in the end lol

hectorzeroni69 | Pacers

4 | 3 days ago

Quentin jackson is way better than ben sheppard buddy. So we also pulled him

jasperplumpton | Pacers

5 | 3 days ago

I mean we drafted Kam Jones this year and he’s been injured, I think it’s ok that we’re playing him. And Quenton Jackson is absolutely an NBA player

eet789

2 | 3 days ago

I means you should not look at Pacer. Look at the Warriors in 19-20 season. They was in finals too.

After Klay injury, Steph’s broken hand (they shut down Steph afterward)….they finish the season with 15-50 records! Even if that season last 82 games I don’t think they would break 20 win benchmark!

jadtt93

pacers are easily the most egregious - tanking the year after making the finals LOL shameless but can’t blame them though

Darkblade511 | Wizards

-7 | 3 days ago

People say that Players don’t tank, but not a single player on the Pacers who played in the 4th cared about this game. They are fighting for their careers and don’t even know it.

Turns out just playing our recent draft picks (mostly 2nd rd) and the injury replacements we have had all season was enough to lose to the Wizards.

Having to bench Jay Huff because you might win the game is crazy, Utah gets a ton of shit for tanking but my god the Pacers are not even trying to hide it

mase123987 | Pacers

19 | 3 days ago

I could be 100% wrong, but I think the Pacers were playing it pretty straight this year. They then got fined and said fuck the NBA and now they are playing the game.

Chris310N

0 | 3 days ago

Tbf it’s the best year to do it, 2026 is gonna be a generational draft. If you get a top4 pick you will straight up go back to being contenders and even potential favorites with how good any of the players are looking, I am just wondering who the Pacers might be taking.

blitzKriegzzz | Wizards

-1 | 3 days ago

I mean Pascal Siakam missing two games for “personal reasons” .. they not even trying to think of an injury

The Washington Wizards (16-39) defeat the Indiana Pacers (15-42), 131-118.
