[Pacers Forever]

Pacers 27-22 and 6th in the Eastern Conference

Kings 27-19 and 5th in the Western Conference

Glad Mathurin is back. I’m hopeful that Jalen can go. Definitely will be seeing either I Jax or Obi backing up at the center I would guess.

I imagine that once they pull him early his muscles cool down and it’s not good to bring him back after sitting a prolonged time.

So it looks like Carlisle is going to use Tyrese in the 4th quarter tonight after last night’s debacle. Hopefully the Kings don’t pull away too far.

Hield benched so hopefully we see some Walker and Tshiebwe tonight.

Is he bunched or playing with Ty? We'll see.

Better words would be taken out of starting lineup.

I think the team misses the lob threat Jackson brings. I remember a couple thrown to Smith in the last few games he couldn't go up and get. Jackson can.

Obi also can.

Surprised no Oscar. Obi played some 5.

I’m a bit surprised no Nembhard but they did say he’s played 18 straight minutes 2 games in a row closing games.

Kings beat the tired, out of sync, struggling Pacers 133-122. It really wasn’t this close.

Pacers had 6 turnovers more in the game than the Kings had. Felt like with all the substitutions and lineups utilized they just couldn’t find the right combination to gel. Uphill struggle all night.

Biggest issue I saw tonight was the Pacers not closing out on three pointers and I saw a lot of 50-50 balls that the Pacers didn’t get. Kings contested most of our shots in the paint.

That's what they should have done against the Knicks.

I wasn't able to watch this game but they looked tired last game against the Knicks. They'll be happy to get the all star break.

Did I miss something here? When did Domas do something to deserve this hate? Lost some respect for the Pacers fans.

pretty sure Buckner or Denari said TJ woke up sick in the hotel in NYC at 2:00 am.

Finally got to see this game & the Knicks game,... was really surprised. A LOT of iso-drive stuff on offense with guys just standing around at a spot on the perimeter? Didn't really see anyone, in either game,.. moving to the open areas of the arc, creating passing lanes? Didn't see a single 45 degree cut, screen entry, nor ghost screen in either game? What has happened to our ball movement?

Defensively didn't see any of the backside, or help-side rotations? we didn't seem to be talking or moving? We even missed some of our own switches leaving opposing players unguarded with a straight path to the rim?.... The only 2 guys I saw busting butt on defense were Nemhard and Sheppard?

Doesn't look like the same team on either end of the floor? (with or without Ty)

The Siakam effect? The fit seems to be awkward at best right now. I guess some of that is to be expected?

Yeah,.. you are probably right. He doesn't 'feel' the team yet,... and they don't feel him? He as known as a creator & passer in Toronto. HIs numbers with the Pacer say he still is,.. but I wasn't seeing a lot of it in those last 2 games? To be fair, I wasn't seeing a lot of anyone attacking off a defensive adjustment to catch a pass going to the rim, from anyone?...

This was a completely different team from the one that played the Kings on Jan 18th!

Re-watched some of the highlights last night,.. it suddenly struck me, that people have been talking about Buddy's play (me included), when the whole team has been playing in the same funk that we put on him,... and that no one on the floor in these 2 games seemed to actually be having fun?.....
