Seasons will change, players will change, coaches will change (can't wait btw) but one fact will remain – Richard Carlisle was the head coach of Indiana Pacer during their longest losing streak in it's entire history.
Good. And 100% deserved.
THE TANK CONTINUES!!! Check out the POD!!! 👏👏👏
All I have to say Pacers Fans is I'm going to start copying and pasting my comments from every post game press conference.
People think I'm hating and I'm absolutely not hating. It's beyond ridiculous at this point.
Nembhardt is legit entering Buddy Hield territory as far as jinx energy/losing basketball player.
I screamed from the rooftops for over A year about how absolutely BRUTAL Buddy Hield is and was as far as winning basketball player.
There are intangibles that the Stats can't quantify. Most of the time in an NBA basketball Game it's WHEN you make the turnover. It's WHEN you miss the shots and free throws. It's WHEN the point Guard your matched up against goes 7/7 and closes the Games out.
What Garland did is what elite level starting point Guards in the NBA do when playing an inferior opponent.
Pacers problem is they have THE worst starting point Guard and closer in the entire NBA.
It took over A year for stubborn Carlisle to FINALLY stop starting Buddy Hield and trade Him. They went to the eastern conference finals that same season then Game 7 finals the season after.
Nembhardt is getting dangerously close to becoming blocked to believing He can win the Game.
I have LESS THEN ZERO confidence literally every Game that Nembhardt is going to close the Game out with a W.
Literally not ONCE tonight did I think they were going to win. Literally not once the entire Game.
Keep starting Him and closing with Him Carlisle. All I have to say if Larry Bird was still president he'd put an end to this week's ago.
What else does anyone on planet earth need to see in regard to Nembhardt being the starting and closing point Guard.
Don't give up Pacers❤
It's always the same people hating on our team even when we was winning last year. PacingTheFloorNBA, clytnjms, troyalvarez2996. All 3 of y'all. Find something better to do, lol. We all know we tanking. This is the best team weve ever had, lets let them have 1 off year with a ton of injuries. Every team goes through something before they win a title.
LET'S GOOOOOO
RICK DONT SASS TONY EAST MAN!!!!!! Wrong target for frustration!
Glad to see Rick's head is getting to a better place. Go Pacers!
