    Pacers using the take away Giannis strat and make everyone else beat you and Dame is unfortunately Jrue so far

  2. Tinytimmytimtim

    Dame is shooting like wet ass. Slow, flat footed, on his shots.

  3. Dependent_Leave_4861

    Maybe Indiana just have that number against Milwaukee

  4. the_greasy_one

    Oh look, Pat made another 3… better trade him.

  5. grudgepacker

    No shots from Giannis so far…feels like last season when he was intentionally testing the team to have other players step up.

  6. Dame’s defensive effort seriously pisses me off

  7. ScrewAnalytics

    Take a shot everytime we let up a wide open dunk

  8. Reggieheathcliff

    Back to Bobby aggressively blitzing screens leading to wide open layups. It’s almost a detriment the 1 time out of 50 it causes a turnover because then they keep running it.

  9. ScrubyScruby

    Seen some people talk about how good our three point defense is this year but really it’s because we always over help and run people off the line to give people wide open dunks. I don’t think we do a single thing well defensively rn

  10. E1even11

    Not a bad score line after looking so out of sorts on both ends of the court.

  11. k1nGGGGG

    why does marjon and bobby defend out of the 3point line when they cant stop anybody

  12. greywind618

    Crazy how it’s a 2 pt game feels like it should be worse

  13. why does bobby keep doubling on the perimeter

  14. LivingHitokiri

    the way Indy guarding Giannis reminds of the way Toronto did and dared us to win with shooting..

  15. AnonymousFroggies

    When was the last time Giannis attempted 1 shot in a quarter?

  16. Feels like good things are in store considering we’re only down 2 after playing such awful defense most of the quarter and Giannis only having 2 points.

  17. sikontoure

    The Pacers are double and triple teaming Giannis like Shaq in the 2000 Finals

  18. Mateuss1111

    IF I HEAR NICE DEFENSE FROM THE PACERS ANNOUNCER ONE MORE TIME I SWEAR TO GOD IM GONNA COMMIT ASSULT & WITH A DEAEDLY WEAPON ON SOMETHING

  19. username_x

    Time to try to survive the Cam Bobby Pat minutes

  20. Constellation_XI

    So same game plan that got us to 3-1 against Indy?

    Got it.

  21. TheDeafTurtle

    If the offensive schemes don’t change, Dame will never find his pocket and he’ll always play like ass for the bucks.

  22. username_x

    Someone tell TJ McConnel to fuck all the way off

  23. Why do we struggle against this team so dang much? We use to dominate Indiana with Bud and Jrue.

  24. seattle_raptors

    With the way Pacers are guarding Giannis, Lillard should have a 40/15 game. He needs to get his shit together.

  25. Hard4Favra

    Lmao at Payne pressuring TJ 5 feet beyond the 3p line. Griffin is a legit lunatic.

  26. Appropriate_Water892

    Giannis actually playing smart and good playmaking, only forced the one shot he took and made it. Now can the rest do anything is the question

  27. TopOfTheMorning2Ya

    TJ only averages 17 vs us?? It seems like 35 at least

  28. Shazammered

    TJ McConnell has got to be the most annoying try hard of all time.

  29. Superflissbro

    I am requesting TJ McConnell to kindly fuck off.

  30. tsagalbill

    Giannis should not be shooting midies, come on

  31. TheDeafTurtle

    McConnells hair is pissing me right the fuck off.

  32. username_x

    I hate McConnell so fucking much dude. The fact that he’s literally not even good except against us is physically revolting

  33. The fact no one on this team can guard TJ McConnell is a big problem

  34. rapper_warrior_ninja

    please guard tj mcconnell

    this has happened every fucking year

  35. Portis and Payne minutes at the same time 🤢
