What a bad shot by tatum. But we see it year after year and somehow some think he is spectacular. He literally threw the game away. He will never ever be a shooter.

Congrats to the pacers. They played inspired ball. I haven't seen us play that hard in a long time.
Can we officially say that holiday is having trouble fitting in?

9pts - 6rbds - 3asts - 1 stl - 1 blk
We need MOAR from him ... assists and/or pts
17 TOVs w/ White leading the way tonight w/ 5 ... a product of the Pacer's sped up game some but we don't take care of the rock!
You'd think White was the PG with 8 assists to lead the guards.
And though Kornet was active early, he finished w/ just 6pts (his 4 blks helped) but Al only had 2pts so combined we just got 8pts out of a somewhat defenseless interior ... too many threes and not enough attacking the rim. Queta?
Where was Svi when threes weren't going down ... and needed energy in Q3 could have been helped inserting Brissett or even Stevens.
We only got 21pts from the bench vs their 30+ and except for the 6pts from Luke, the rest came from Sam ... gotta be deeper than 6-7 players.

Cabby, you're right about missing Porgie but we should have been able to beat them especially with the Jays scoring 30+ each!
We failed to slow Haliburton down (26pts/13ast) ... with Jrue and White it should have been doable.
Turner is more scary on the perimeter than in the lane but we failed to take advantage.
That said ... they were more motivated than we were and deserve the win.

Looks like Haliburton played! The Pacers are deep, they won't be an easy out come playoff time! My grandson had a junior pro game, I got home late, the reason I didn't post!

Their starters went 14 for 30 from 3. Our starters went 7 for 30. We had 3 starters show up to play, Al and the disappointing Holiday were no shows!Hauser played great off the bench, but that's about all we got. And what the hell was Kornet doing guarding McConnell?

Why would I block you Dee? You've been anything but nasty of late ... I fear the Doc has given you the final blow ... Set me straight. Figurative speaking Boss on blocking.. Final blow? Umm . Small debate . IDK? but that's straight up. For all the cheerleaders who laughed when i said we lose one of 5 players the season is over. Zinger goes double No Zinger no title . Tatum can take 30 shots keeps him from playing D fulltime. Loses focus often Looks like someone was full of shit and it wasn't me.. Mazz will praise all the players tomorrow for both teams.. He looked punked at the end. Why? He is a punk Will he Analize anything.. No . That takes knowledge that he lacks... I'm damn glad this chintzy in season tourney is over
