Pacers out here showing the Kings how it’s done. Definitely one of the ugliest games of basketball I’ve subjected myself to.

Its kinda disgusting how shameless the Pacers are this year, like this Kings team has 0 talent, another team just got 83 put up on them by one player and then this Pacers team that I would be shocked if they didn’t make the 2nd round next year refuses to play their top 3 guys will have at minimum the same odds as them. Its not even the Pacers fault, Adam Silver just genuinely doesn’t give a fuck about the integrity of the game.

tcollins371 | Pacers

Last top 3 pick the Pacers drafted was in the late 1980’s. Pacers don’t historically tank as a franchise so you’ll forgive me for not being bothered by my team trying to get a good draft pick in a gap year spoiled by legitimate injuries at the start of the year.

coolycooly | Nets

-2 | 13 hours ago

I didn’t say you should be bothered I said they are shamelessly tanking and Adam Silver doesn’t give a fuck. Tanking is the only way for bad teams to get good and the Pacers are already a championship team and are just tanking because why not, they aren’t winning shit this year.

Also I see Pacers fans seeing how they never get lottery luck and boohoo but the Wizards and Kings have been bad forever and have the same if not worse lottery luck and never had the PG13 days. The system is just so unbelievably broken.

jtangjetang | Pacers

The wizards and kings do have lottery luck lol. They just have sucked at drafting a lot of those years. They both have gotten many top 5 picks the past decade or so

coolycooly | Nets

3 | 13 hours ago

The Wizards have had literally one top 5 pick in the last decade and the Kings have had 3 in the past decade, I don’t think 3 is low but I also dont think thats a stupid amount for how bad they’ve been.

If the Pacers get a top 5 pick this year they’ll have the same amount as the Wizards have had in the past decade.

So what? They’re terrible because they’re the type of team to give Bradley Beal a supermax with a poison pill contract.

Indiana is good because they turned Sabonis into Haliburton. They didn’t rebuild from the draft. Losers like the Nets and Wizards leave their entire rebuild to luck of the lottery, tanking for years “shamelessly”

Why do the Wizards or Nets “deserve” a top 4 pick more from making dumb FO decisions?

The Pacers have been much better for the league than the Wizards or Nets have been historically. More competitive, and more competently run. If anything the picks should go to teams like the Pacers, rather than to the Wizards or Nets who are perennial losers.

If you actually care about the Wizards & Kings not having top picks, then this is a complaint about the flattened lottery odds fucking over the actual terrible teams disguised as a complaint about tanking. You aren’t mad about tanking, you’re mad that the Mavs and the Hawks got the #1 the last two years with the 9th & 13th best odds.

Its always other tanking teams crying about how “shameless” it is. The Nets are shameless too, stop crying.

Pacers still get their 2031 pick back in that scenario, win win for them they get a nice trade asset for the future.

But yeah would be great for Clippers to get Nate Ament.

Joe_Betz_ | Pacers

IND being the worst team means the Clippers could get the 5th pick. All Clippers and Pacers fans are cheering for Pacers losses at this point.

Zu is worth two picks that should be in the 20s. He isn’t worth the fifth pick in a loaded draft…but also the Pacers don’t want or need another guard who is probably the BPA in that 5-9 range and would prefer to spend that money in FA on someone else if it’s not going to an S-tier top 4 pick.

I cannot wait for the lottery.

Kings fans just can’t win. I have never, before this season, rooted for the Kings to lose games. They finally break me down and I buy in to accepting that these CHUDs lose every game, and now they fight tooth and nail to win an honest-to-god must lose game. Are we ever going to get a break?

Vivek has got to go. Just an absolutely clueless clown with no long term vision whatsoever. Kings fans have been through hell and deserve someone competent to run this franchise.

But I hope Devin Carter is happy with running up his score against a tanking team and at the same time setting us back. We were down 20 with a gift wrapped loss and they pulled out the win. Unbelievable.

1psithur3 | Kings

6 | 14 hours ago

Like I get it, the fans don’t want to fall further than 5 in the draft lottery. But also you can’t tell young players on the team to just not try. Devin Carter was the 13th pick a couple of years ago and NEEDS performances like this to see if he has a place in the league. Raynaud continuing to be very good and essentially locking up an All-Rookie spot. Plowden fighting for his NBA future. Nique trying to get comfortable in the league as a rookie.

Some things are bigger than draft lottery percentages. It’s ok for fans to be disappointed in potential draft positioning but also fans need to know that’s out of our control and being upset at young players for trying is just not what I want to see out of a fanbase.

Immediate_Map235 | Kings

2 | 13 hours ago

wins like this are what plant the seeds for next seasons chemistry, imo. Happened the year fox and sabonis first linked up too and they later referenced those meek wins as the first moments of finding their flow and energy as a squad, and realizing how good they could be. If we really want to see the entire team cohere under an admittedly underseasoned coach, they’ll need to have moments of success and cohesion to reference going forward lol

PissOnYourTits | Kings

You mean the year we traded Hali for Sabonis? When we were a mediocre ass team? When Fox didn’t really try because he didn’t like how beloved Hali was? When if we traded a devalued Fox for even half of what Hali got us - let’s say one or two 1sts - our team would’ve sucked for another year or two with increased draft odds during Wemby’s draft. That’s the kind of player that sets you up for long term success and championship hopes.

How long did our success actually last for? How much did we end up selling a devalued Fox for again? Don’t get me wrong, I fucking love this team and paid good money to go to a playoff game. But we went from shining star in the NBA to the worst roster and situation in the NBA in two fucking years. Look at how every other competent franchise with a bad roster is tanking like Indy and Utah. This is the truth of the NBA with smaller markets.
