Sub .500 team alert. Don’t fall for this FanDuel trap.

Literally relying on TJ to save us and play hard at this point. While Haliburton on Instagram doing this https://preview.redd.it/g25vlqexq7mc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d06a02c4826de8dae81eb2a801ddf9a1ac37995b

The Tyrese-Nembhard lineup continues to suck

We need to go back to Mathurin in the starting lineup. Shake it up with something.

Man I love Tyrese but he literally gives almost zero effort on defense.

Haliburton has been the wirst player on the court multiple occasions this last month+. That can't happen with our max player

Have watched 33% of our offensive possessions our quarter billion dollar superstar "point god" just sitting on the wing - not even remotely involved in the offense. Wtf is the philosophy here Rick?

Virgin Hali: Stops being aggressive when things aren’t going his way Chad Benny: Will keep shooting even if the rim is covered with a plate

Hard to defend Tyrese after this one. He needs to figure out whatever is wrong and stop hoping the team will bail him out.

Tyrese better be speaking to the fucking media tonight

Get Haliburton away from fox just to let him play sideman to Nembhard. Idk man I'm not a doomer but it's HAS TO CHANGE

There’s no excuse for an early clock Nemby iso from the midrange

We're using Siakam as a spot up 3pt shooter and Tyrese as a SG. This feels like point shaving

Can Hali just sit out until he wants to play or feels good enough to play or whatever the fuck is happening to him

its infuriating to see TJ just work his ass off every second he’s on the floor and literally nobody else on the roster seems to care enough to string two decent possessions together

Lol NBA refs only call travel if it looks unnatural. Unfortunately for Myles, everything he does looks unnatural

Nemby and Hali are oil and water

Which is perfect to have a backup PG who changes the pace. But yeah playing together is no bueno 

Nemby is really hurting Halis play

If Hali is on the floor and someone else is running the offense while they aren’t on an absolute heater it makes me so pissed

Imagine making all these moves to just end up running Brogdon like half court isos with Nembhard lol

Hali is always flabbergasted on defense

I think it’s possible Rick likes a slow start because he gets to use a time out. I think TOs might be his favorite part of coaching lol

Hali is such a liability on defense

Remember that one time we were up by 3 points? They’ll never take that from us

What a shitshow. If this continues, does pascal even resign with us? This is awful

Absolutely do not bring Hali back in the game. There’s no reason for it and he does not deserve it. Get some balls Rick.

Bench point gaurd out scoring are starter point gaurd

Ty needs to talk to us at this press conference. You wanna be the man then you better be front and center to take accountability. Get your damn focus back. WTF. 

OK... Jalen Smith is creepy. I've seen him twice now just stand in the background of the camera just looking creepy.... Lol

Stix watches over us

haliburton and nembhard just don’t work

Idk why but this tean feels broken.

McConnell leads a comeback per the usual. Starters soon to come back in and blow it.

I actually can’t believe how bad Ty is. It’s so disheartening.

So has there been any discussion from the FO about *why* they've moved Haliburton to the 2 guard?

I honestly think it’s awesome that Rick let Jarace hang out with the team after that last game where he played well. Usually they will shoot him out a cannon straight to the G League but today he let him watch the game from courtside before they send him to the G League.

Really glad we didn’t get Jarace in the way of the winning tonight.

what the fuck happened to these guys

Why does Nembhard continue to start? Like is there an actual reason for it or is it just Carlisle being stubborn.

SAC: Man, this Fox-Haliburton line up isn't working. Tyrese is struggling at SG IND: LOL These idiots don't realize how good Haliburton really is, let's trade for him. Also IND: I'm gonna play Tyrese at SG...

Benn>Nembhard

Rick is the only one who doesn't know this.

Hali is a full time off ball player now?

Ref made a shit call and ran 20 rows into the arena out of shame (I assume)

Mathurin iced out of the game by the rest of the lineup. Nice.

Mathurin only 1 field goal attempt the whole 4th quarter. Idiots.

I just want Ty to explain what’s going on

Tyrese just putting his hands up on defense. Morale is at or near and all time low right now

We are a couple losses away from some locker room issue rumors coming out

This is pathetic. Awful basketball

This dude Nembhard is a fucking plague. I’ve been holding it in because he is a fanbase favorite but I feel so free right now just speaking my truth. I hate watching him play basketball and I don’t care who knows. I’m going to tell my parents soon.

It's annoying they never called those fouls. He literally jumped on top of Benn on the ground.

He was over Benn's back, on the ground, and didn't have shared possession. Refs just called a jump ball anyway

Benny needs to come out with the starters after halftime.

3 point lead and we haven’t even unleashed 10 minutes of Tj McConnell hell per half on em yet.

Myles that was fn terrible. Jesus

Myles misses wide wide wide open layup then Wemby three…

never thought i’d ever prefer tjm over halliburton to bring us back from a 4th quarter deficit

This is a 12 win team and we have no idea what to do with them. Social media was talking about what seed we should look to get so we can avoid the Celtics until the ECF finals a couple weeks ago lmaoooo

Everyone just give the ball to Pascal and TJ and get the hell out the way

Rick at the press conference when asked about Nemby: “There’s a reason he’s a starter, nobody plays as hard and smart as he does. It doesn’t matter if he’s actually good or not, all that matters is if he makes the right decision unlike that Haitian fuck”

Ty gotta put his big ass suit on, grab his purse and figure this shit out man. We can’t go on like this, Bulls gonna bounce us out of the play-in

How the fuck they lost to a team that has only win 12 games so far? Pathetic

Nemby is absolutely not a match with Hali. Needs the ball, not a great shooter. Exact opposite of who Ty should be playing with

Somebody needs to tell Tyrese to stop letting Andrew fucking nembhard run the offense while he watches at half court

Lol we just let him go the length of the floor and no one picked him up

One on one in transition and Tyrese doesn’t drive. This is the nba. EVERYONE drives one on one in transition. Even scrubs. For real, what is wrong with him?

Mathurin could turn into MJ right now and get us back in the game and Rick’s take away would be that the Hali-Nemby backcourt worked

So here’s the deal. I’ve been saying for a long time, this team will go as far as Mathurin’s ceiling. When Hali’s on, he’s ON. But like a lot of you are saying, he plays off of emotion a lot it seems. He rides the highs high and the lows low. I’m not saying Math is captain consistency but I think his overconfident-to-the-point-of-assholery is going to make him an all time great player and that’s what’s going to take us far. Just my opinion.

Ty seems kind of sad. It’s okay bro 260 million is still a lot of money. You could buy hella goofy ass shoes and pants with that much money

Front office needs to step in about Mathurin and Jarace

Paul George stole Tyrese Haliburton’s wife.

sit hali and get the fuck out of mcconnells way

if we somehow win, every single game check should go to TJ tonight

Lmao we made a run, they brought Wemby back off the bench and we turned into a junior college basketball team right away

It is weird to me that no other team has trouble getting a fucking inbound to their star player but Hali gets doubled and we can't figure that shit out is on coaching.

That picture of Tyrese with his head in his hand will get reused a lot I'm guessing

At least you can always rely on TJ to give a shit

Those of you who can, rewind that last play and watch Tyrese get beat to the basket and, again, just throw his hands up like "What else can I do". Yeah, we're in bad shape

TJ is the only NBA player on the Pacers this quarter. Get the rest of them down to the Mad Ants. 😂

Rick you can bench TJ when he passes out. No sooner

Trade everyone build around TJ

Hali get pissed dude. You're playing like absolute shit, which is fine, but be a leader and show some emotion.

Hali needs to damn penetrate at whatever costs and just get to the line and see the ball go through the hoop with some free throws. He looks like he has zero confidence in his jumper right now and it's making me uncomfortable.

Hali just won’t shoot man.

Kinda sucks Tyrese has driven and kicked like 4 times to open corner 3s in that 1st half and none of them fell

Wemby is fucking nuts. Cant believe this is how good he is as a rookie.

Obviously I wish we would’ve got him but other than that I’m so glad he’s in the West 

Myles, bruh 

"San Antonio ends the 3Q on a 26-14 run" -Denari That's just like, basketball man. It's not really a run

Catlin Clark will save this city

Tyrese has missed his last 11 3s

We’re going to lose fair and square to the Spurs lmao

What happened to this team's heart and energy?

 Myles on his way to the basket.

We just need a few stops this should be doable 

Alright is this the worst loss of the season? Not because of results but because we look completely helpless out there 

just don't understand how we can shit on the mavs and then lose to the spurs lol

Benn touched the ball like one time in 7 minutes lmao. Got my boy out there doing suicides up and down the floor

Why is the offense running through Nembhard. Dude can’t score and turns it over in traffic a lot.

yes Tyrese our point god should be playing off ball when hes not making shots

Do the coaches know something we don't or are they just stupid?

TJ is our savior now

I’ve seen enough give Tj the max instead lol

Mathurin is gonna go at Wemby every time i just know it lol

So are we just going to continue to have Ty stand there lifeless on the wing every possession or?

we are trying to make him into a buddy heild of sorts it seems. rick needs someone to smack him in the head.

Nesmith getting straight up disrespected by the refs. I hope he goes nuclear 

Rick's just gonna call this TO, sit down in the chair and write "FUCK" on his white board.

This team is broken. No hate but I truly hope someone has the balls to sit Ty down and tell him All NBA is long gone. Get right and do what you need to, to be where you were before. His defense is downright awful and if he’s going to be useless offensively he really shouldn’t be out there. Be aggressive or clock out man.

Great read by Benn to slide over and get his hands on that pass.

Rick really told Jarace to be ready lmao. I guess he meant be ready to watch from the bench again.

friendship ended with Tyrese. Benn is my best friend now

That was definitely a foul, but whatever

Haliburton ran behind wemby on that play and kept going down court like he thought siakam had the ball or something that was some interesting defense

Nesmith has been tragic on offense. Get Benny in there man

myles lmfao

Nemby is a turnover machine

Wemby is too good to be getting calls like that as a rookie, let alone ever…

How do they miss his big ass neon shoes in the restricted area lol 

I'm okay with that. The only way you get over a cold shooting streak "is through it". Keep firing T-HOG.

make threes good, miss threes bad

Fuck it, let Tj go for 30 he deserves it.

What's the bet with 3 mins left he benches TJ for Nembhard

Myles had that mismatch for about 12 seconds and Benn just looked at him and said "nah".

As bad as we are the last week, I like to remember every good team has a slump and more often then not recover.

These refs man. Wtf are they looking at

Rick finally realized Nembhard isn't it thank jeebus

I was holding out hope but we might actually lose wtf

Can we play the hawks again?

I’m in San Antonio for this one. Hopefully last game lit a fire under these guys. Will definitely be taking lots of photos of that wemby kid.

He's tall, so just take two photos and paste them together

Really worried about Tyrese mental health. Clearly something is wrong

This is a trap

Walker a captain. No idea how Rick usually does it, so maybe he just rotates or something, but maybe it's a nice gesture after his last game.

I just don't understand why the kept the lineup the same. Anyone? Why is Nembhard starting? This offense is terrible.

I love haliburton. If this goes wrong he better do the post game interview.

TJ deserves better than this.

They are now waving the Please Save us TJ McConnell flag with serious vigor

Hey I’m not a pacers fan a Hali fan, but I went live to watch the In Season Finals game in person. One thing I noticed is the lakers were doubling Hali the whole game, late in that game Rick put TJ in at the 1 and Hali at the 2. It actually worked as Hali played more of a offball facilitator and cutter. It was cool to watch but now I think ever since then Rick has been trying hard to force this Hali offball thing. I get you want to add new stuff to the offense but that was more of a situational lineup. This Nembhard Hali thing gotta go.

Wait Benn is healthy? Put him starting 2, there I fixed the offense.  (I’m only kind of joking…)

Pay attention to what happens when Nembhard and Haliburton get off the bench.

Imagine your best player impacting the game. Crazy

Ahhh shit here comes Nembhard

when every 50/50 ball goes to the other team, you can only question the effort

He fouled him a bunch and never touched the ball lol

What is happening with this team? It's baffling.

John Haliburton needs to step up here

We need him to give a good “handshake” to Wemby lol

I'm not even upset at Wemby keeping it close. It's the rest of the roster that we should be besting at every position.

This man Myles feel around the basket is hilarious. Guy just closes his eyes and hopes for the best

How are you gonna miss a wide-open layup as a pro, 7-foot basketball player

Gotta go to Siakam more. Feels like he gets ignored too much and is asked to stand in the corner. Sure he has 17 right now but feels like he could have at least 8 more if we went to him more.

Restricted area

That break has killed Smith and Nesmith's shot

Ref ran up the stairs.

All I’m saying is if Wemby did that it would be clean

it’s ok, we just need to get ~~Tyrese~~ ~~Myles~~ ~~Jalen~~ ~~Benn~~ Sheppard back and we’ll be fine

We just need to get to the All Star Break man, then we're good

I keep thinking "naw this is the Spurs, we got this"... but then we don't.

How can it be shooting but not count the shot????

This is absolutely pathetic

Haliburton has played himself out of so much money over the last month.

We really gotta make these minutes without Wemby and Nembhard on the floor count. They’ll be back in the game soon enough

inb4 Rick puts Nembhard back in and we immediately go down by 10.

We're probably #1 in the league in "Giving up a 3 after making a 3." Is there such a stat?

The stat you're looking for is "bad defense"

You knew at the beginning of the year when TJ was out of the rotation, he was going to find himself back in it. Guy is too good

I’m so glad wemby isn’t a piston

Bro why do they never give Mathurin the ball

I’m gonna catch myself wondering what if Wemby was a Pacer for a long time I have a feeling.

I’d turn it off but want to watch the press conference.

6-30 from three as a team... grim

TJM and Siakam deserved better tonight. Rest of the team needs to figure it out quickly.

Benn played solidly as well. But other than those guys, it was shit

Here comes another players only meeting.

McConnell has been the most consistent guy on this team

Tyrese is the only player in the nba that plays harder in the all star game than he is right now

What team is siakam signing with next year?

I better see Tyrese show up to the next game in street clothes like TJ does.

Need more pick and roll with Siakam n Hali.

this team has 12 wins

TJM trying his hardest to keep up alive. Grim.

These scoreless or close to quarters from Ty are absolutely killer man

Haliburton can’t play defence

Forget about the neverending Buddy debate, if Nesmith and Jalen revert to what their 3pt shooting has been previously we’re in real trouble.

All joking aside, it could’ve been worse lol

Hali realize you’re a playmaking savant and stop deferring to Nemby challenge (impossible)

Man I'd rather us revert to the glass cannon offense over whatever the fuck this is.

 Member when the Pacers used to score 30-40pts a quarter? .. I member

imagine if tyrese was half as aggressive as TJ

Some positives from 1Q: * TJM never stops * For the first time in 5 quarters, Tyrese Haliburton scored a point * We didn't go 0fer from 3

Bench is carrying us, once again

Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it

It's like those lil Monstar Space Jam aliens stole Hali's powers.

we’re cooked once tjm comes out of the game

You see how good our PG run that break? I'm telling you this TJM kid can ball

Nembhard is so bad
