I love to see it. I cant stand this team
I don’t know what’s wrong with the defense. We know nembhard and Nesmith are excellent defenders. furphy and jarace show flashes of good defense when they play, they just lack experience. So it makes me wonder if the center position really lacks defense so much that it’s become terrible or if the offensive load on nembhard, Siakam, and Mathurin have stunted their defensive focus in return.
Defense giving up 140, I've never seen anything like it.
That top 3 pick will be worth it
I anticipate a gambling investigation in Indiana by this time next year.
Tony needs to get a handle on his Mic🙃 Andrew Wiggen TKO OkC Chet on a poster 👍
More Winston please!
Good players…but bad actors…need that draft pick…😉
26 turnovers, many of those steals by Miami. Pacers shoot over 50% twice in a row and lose both games. Gave up 80 points in the 2nd half, maybe it's better Miami game are blacked out here 😭
Hopefully we can get a top 2 pick….The East gon be better when Tyrese and Tatum come back.The draft is for small market teams… look at the Spurs. What scares me is the Spurs weren't the worst team and won the #1 pick. 😮😮😮😮
Not a fan of Jarace
I feel bad for you at this point, Tony. Barely a shred of meat left on the bone with well over half of the games yet to be played. Hopefully something interesting happens soon…
Trade everybody on the team except for siakam and haliburton everybody else are showing they are a💩💩show without tyrese Bennedict Mathurin is a inconsistent bum who can’t take that leap like jaylen brown I already knew that so u should definitely trade him we can easily replace his damn scoring he’s a damn turnover machine to
I thought Quenton Jackson was really good before his early season injury. Now he looks unplayable. The Pacers fell apart after Nembhard left the game in the 3rd/4th quarter and Jackson came in. He kept making turnovers and missing shots. Kind of what Jarace Walker was doing earlier in the season. This team isn't going to win any games when having to play these fringe NBA players during key parts of the game. Once the game started getting away from them it became selfish basketball which just caused it to avalanche even more.
At least they gave us almost 3 quarters of decent hoops before the tank commenced. I don't know if they're really tanking or not, but it sure looks like it. I understand that a tank is not good for the viewership on your channel. Some of the lineups the coaches send in just look like they're not trying to win.
Locked onnnnn Winstonnn podcast where we OF COURSE talk about Tony’s cat Winston!
Do you think Carlisle should give some meaningful minutes to Kam Jones to see what he looks like. I mean it can't look any worse than playing Jackson. I know T. J. McConnell would come way before Kam in the backup role but at least Kam looks to be a much better point guard than Jackson. Maybe he wouldn't be any good but what does it hurt to find out when you're getting bombed at the end of these games anyway.
Nembhard was excellent. I didn't know he could pass like that. That was cool to see.
Jay Huff is an enigma. His blocking has been a pleasant surprise. Offense and overall presence, however, has been dreadful. He went to help up Kyle Kuzma after a mundane block with minimal contact – camera pans and Pascal had a look of disgust on his face watching it happen. Something is off with his energy.
Winston clearly was not thrilled with the Pacers performance
HI, WINSTON!!! 🥰
