Why did you wait to put Halliburton in the game when we were down to five minutes of the fourth quarter
Coach need to be fired
Rick I love ya but you gave that win away at the end
Didn't bring in Hali or Turner for last place with a timeout. This is on you Rick
Definitely would have won
This was your fault Coach you had the wrong lineup in there. Why would you leave Tyrese on the bench?
Carlisle lost them the ECF doing the EXACT same thing. He's still doing it and nobody calls him out on it.
A sad organization.
Walker needs to be playing more often. Rick didn't challenge any fouls call against us.
Embarrassing🙈🙈🙈🙈
Rick needs to be fired. Put him out to pasture. Use to be a great coach. He is not anymore. Has to go
Pacers actually played good D & lit it. That's good! It looks good, championship level G. It's just the 3s & Laks got to the line. Luka adds multiple dimensions where it counts. Laks needed an extra 3-guy to round off their G & add lethality, LeBron is a #1, trying to beat the best & last yrs Points leader. Lakers more athletic & smoother. Weren't gonna win that Cali with Indy ball.
Walker needs to be playing more over Shepherd Walker plays incredible defense Shepherd was -23 and six minutes. How is that even possible?
Biggest game of the season, keep the Pistons & Bucks at a distance. Strive hard to keep the 4th spot. Carlisle needs to have a discussion with his players about how he let them down tonight. As the Pacers are only 1.5 games up on Detroit and 2 on the Bucks, and faced with a brutal schedule and lost a monumental home game, every game is going to be a hell-ride. Even Washington tomorrow will be an exercise and test in one's mettle. Carlisle, what the hell were you doing?
So you took haliburton and Myles turner out the game? Yeah you wanted to lose.
If it worked out, nobody would be mad. They got a hail Mary tip in at the buzzer with our defensive unit on the floor.
Pacers played great tonight.
Next.
Pacers get the rebound with 35 seconds left. Any normal functioning coach would have called that fucking timeout to get TYRESE HALIBURTON back in the game. Also get Myles Turner back in the game for the last Lakers possession. Criminal behavior.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
I didn't see the game from the scores
pacers played fantastic basketball
I'm assuming punched is a basketball terminology
This explains the deficit
And the comeback
Never have a mindset about the team capabilities because it'll limit yours
Keep in mind you're up against a ball, and the advantage becomes yours when it's in your favor
Scoring is your only responsibility
And this when the pacers started scoring
Everyone who played contributed, and it resulted in a one point
The pacers should be celebrating your effort and looking forward to more games and wins
Worse NBA coach…how with timeout you leave your best player that have been cooking Luka in few possession in a row…..
I intend to unhabit typos
It's no crime or sin, though
👀 ain't after anyone and neither am I
Inconsistent play in the last 4 games prior to this bit them in the ass tonight
Great game Pacers! Don't worry too much about it, hindsight is always 20/20. Rick is my favorite coach, and a great coach.
Lakers played great too.
What a surprise ending, even if it is a loss.
onward and upward!
How do you not have the best facilitator in the league in for that offensive possession and one of the best rim protectors in for that defensive possession
Your coaching was poor!!! Where do you get these substitutions from??? Also, CALL THE DAMN TIMEOUT!!! 😕
Not bringing Haliburton back in didn't lose the game but it didn't give the Pacers the best chance to win. Even though I was screaming for them to get a timeout right after they got position, I still think this is one of the best coaching staffs in the NBA.
I hate how the Pacers start 4th quarters with a nearly all bench unit. Get Haliburton back on the court during the most important part of the game.
Who gives a shit about "factors"? Do the fucking right thing and call the damn timeout. The only thing that mattered was winning the damn game, not who was having a "good run"
Tyrese can get Rick fired if he wants too
They same the same shid at the interview after the game they f*
*ked up on over n over
LEBRON MAKING THE PACERS LOOK "STUPID" AGAIN!!!!! EMPHASIS ON AGAIN.
Terrible. Pascal and Jarace did not box out. Shame
Rick? He’s an old geezer
really stupid loss. what the hell was rick thinking during the 4Q?? isn’t this similar to what cost us the ECF last year?
We should trust Rick. Lakers is in west. He is now only taking into account how to win in East. It was better to do such kinds of coaching failure during regular season.
He gonna fix it in Playoff.

This comment section is TRASH. Tyrese TOLD THE TRUTH. THEY, The Players, Lost It in the 2nd Quarter. This Time they WEREN'T able to "Pull a Rabbit out of the Hat". And Myles LITERALLY Said it. THEY waited, needed to star better, put themselves in a bad position. ..
We've gone from the CLICHE TAKE: TRADE MYLES, to the NOW CLICHE: FIRE RICK. Just because he doesn't play Jarace. No other coach is gonna give Tyrese The Go like Rick does. Who else you gonna GET is the question. YOU DON'T BREAK THE CULTURE FOR NOTHING.
Rick needs to Figure out how to utilize Walker. He is a big body that can create mismatches
I was at game lakeshow house forever now !
Don't get it. That last Lakes play, when LBJ got the ball at the post with 6s on the game clock, Pacers had fouls to give…. that would made Lakers inbound the ball, burn some time, defender be in better position… just saying…
can't even box out at the end of a game? Going to be 1 and done with effort like that.
The Lakers gave us3 straight OLAY layups at the end and we STILL lost…NO timeout…What a joke. NO foul..what a joke!!!
Good job sir once again you had no big man in the game so you have Lebron a easy tip in
Same thing I been saying since playoffs last year our coach is a idiot. Remember he was our coach during malace in the palace. Up 15 with 40 seconds left and starters still in the game 😢
Shoulda called time out. The last minute double on Ben was respect though. He was going to cook whoever one on one. He definitely should be more aggressive. Bryant shoulda got more clock. Helps with rebounding.
You gotta love the roman circus
