The pacers had improved a bit on defense but TEAM REBOUNDING is IMPORTANT.
Turner should be playing off the bench and not a stating center. Even though the game has evolve in where bigs can shoot anywhere in court but a BASIC skill and ATTITUDE of a PLAYER in any league is to get the REBOUNDS.
MORE REBOUNDS. MORE WIN.
With the offense not looking good and needing identity I think it’s time for Carlisle to get more involved running plays instead of the free flowing random style with Hali/McConnell or whoever on the floor run the offense, I’m not saying they shouldn’t do that at all but it might not be consistent enough to have all throughout the game right now and it’s based off of too much inconsistent play, such as Siakam having it going and its being hard to get him open for buckets or when Mathurin is in rhythm and needs to get easier ways to score off cuts/catch and shoot, same for Hali and etc…that’s where multiple plays are needed to be ran and if a play is broken up then run the random offense to get a shot, same for other key players when they are hot and they need to get going
Haliburton isnt setting up his teammates in these loses. He did vs. Knicks. Hes checking out early on when his shot isnt dropping. You cant quit on your team and tap out. Just ask Anthony Richardson.
TY CAN'T GO "SCORELESS" FOR AN ENTIRE HALF. NO Point Guard (that i know of) Does this. I AGREE with one of the comments here. RICK NEEDS TO GONA LIYOLD SCHOOL AND START CALLING PLAYS FROM THE SIDELINE. He was one of the BEST at this back in the Day. Last…THE 3PT/CLOSE OUT DEFENSE IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. And it's HARD to watch.
Shooting is psychological as much as it’s about getting good shots. They are overwhelmingly affected by shooting streaks and need that addressed. Tony I’d like to hear how the team itself handles this. Rick tends to just say – it happens and will end. Stays positive – but what are we doing to be proactive. What do the other coaches do to help shooting psychology?
Mathurin or Haliburton, one needs to hit three's to really unlock each other.
The line-up to start the 4th was not a good lineup to play. I get that Furphy was good in the first half, but I don't think you can have him play crunch time like that
The offense is performing poorly because the so-called best player is performing poorly. If he doesn’t turn this year around, then we need to have some uncomfortable conversations about Tyrese.
That game looked like 2nd graders going against 6 graders. It looked like the ball was getting swatted away on every drive to the basket. I thought starting Shephard was a mistake because he looked completely undersized against the Magic's starting lineup. I would have had Walker on the floor more to deal with their size.
What a f…..in shame!!!!! Pascal was terrific…..Haliburton wore his ski mask tonight….$$$$ Everything begins and ends with him…unfortunately….just not anywhere near the same player since he got the bag$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Walker needs to be in the starting lineup with his defense and play making ability. He’ll help rebounding and help setup his teammates with his passing and size. Walker and Siakam can guard both forward positions on defense and unlock the Haliburton and Mathurin backcourt
I believe we should trade for Robert Williams III and Dalano Banton from Portland. We probably won’t have to give up a lot to get them
Hali is performing poorly if he gets 5 more points then hey. Mathurin played well but had some trouble at the room a few times. Let's call a spade a spade
Magic blocked 4 more shots.
Another stellar game from our "Superstar,"
We lost by 4 in a game that our "superstar" scored 9. Don't really think anything else needs to be said.
You can't have a team where in the 4th the coach alow every one taking shots, they need to go though pascal, he is the best player on the floor, Ben is selfish as fuck
I think it's ok to acknowledge that Jalen Suggs is a PROBLEM on defense. He's top 5 rating wise. He was on Tyrese all night.
Haliburton needs his swagger back
Alright we can’t say tyrese haliburton is back until he plays like ten games in a row like he did vs the Knicks 🙈🙈🙈🙈
Magic had 10 blocked shots with 14 OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS.. That's too many extra chances and that's a lot shots turned away to win. The magic gotta top 2 defense and they are also a top rebounding team with all the size.. Even without Paolo the Magic are killers on defense.
Equal opportunity offense should not be use to close out games especially when alot of players are having a bad shooting night. #Pascal #Siakam given 11 shots for 25 points should have been a lot more, especially seeing a lot of players were off. Other teams top players are getting min 20 shots.Coaching need to address lack of schemes
Shout out to #43VER🇨🇦 consistency #YesCers
I don’t care what anyone says, Tyrese is hurt and they should definitely sit him before it gets worse.
Halliburton shouldn’t be allowed to pass the ball for like a game lmao
I would be worried for the Pacers if Hali is still like this by the trade deadline. We are dangerously close to being a 41-win team.
On a more homer take, why are the Pacers bottoming out on offense? Well, do the math. They're simply missing 30 points on average every other game from a combination of Hali and Myles' disappearing acts and injuries to starters.
Haliburton is embarrassing. What other "superstar" in the whole league consistently has terrible performances like this? Why does this fanbase constantly give him a pass? Everyone saying "its early stop overreacting" like this hasn't been an issue since the Siakam trade. Also, we're 11 games in, and before we know it that'll be 20 games and 1/4 of the season will already be done. This team doesn't even look like a play-in team much less a top 6 seed.
