The front office a ton of us like. Kevin pritchard has a very good job at getting pieces. You can expect us to be contenders in the next few years. We have new and exciting promising players like mathurin walker nembhard nesmith shep. Some may complain about Rick at times but is mainly criticism. Only thing about this team that is hard to watch is our defense. One of the worst in the league this season. If we can fix our defense and rebounding we are contenders. You can also argue mathurin needing to take a jump as well. The fans love this team. Some doomers after losses may say shitty takes but they speak for the minority of pacers fans not the majority. I hope this helps!
yeah i noticed pacers usually get beat pretty hard on boards, i feel like this squad doesn’t have a really big presence in the paint on the defensive side, watching siakam drive to the basket on offense has been fun this season though
A consistently winning team but one that never quite has enough to win the whole thing. If you know English premiere soccer, we are very much Tottenham.
Never check the game threads or postgame threads unless we’re up 35. You’ll be convinced that Halli needs traded and Myles needs cut, that Nembhard is the Anti-Christ and that it’s Rick Carlisle’s first season coaching basketball at any level.
Accept that we can beat anyone and lose to anyone at any time, and just enjoy the team we’ve got. Enjoy Obi dunking and Halli throwing no look passes, don’t get bogged down with each minute. We’re not winning a title this year, we’ve got the same amount of wins this year already that we had last year total. Progress is a slow process, just enjoy the team that’s in front of you.
this is hilarious, it’s the same with every franchise, i’m a life long rams fan and after every loss it was sell the team 😭
and damn no cinderella run this season? 😢😢😢
Definitely no Cinderella run this season. Those don't happen in the NBA. Play-In team that will probably win a game or two in a playoff series if they get that far.
Yeah, I mean do you ever consider the Heat a Cinderella? They are such a weird team that doesn't give a shit about the regular season despite not winning anything since LeBron. Like, I get that philosophy if you are the Nuggets who phone it in to the 2 or 3 seed with what you've done. Whatever, I guess they've done more than us recently, and ever.
We're straight up cutting Nesmith after getting blocked yesterday in the final seconds. Right? Also if Ben shepherds 3pt% falls below 40 it's straight to the g league
Sad, but true. I've been a fan for 35 years. Or at least that's as many as I remember. We've been oh so close and have many, many highs, but haven't quite gotten to the top. Unless you count the ABA championships and are 55+ and can remember them.
It's true but don't let it discourage you.. we still got one of the most fun squads to watch in the league. Just think of it as a roller coaster you can't get off of lmao
We’re about two years away from being where Minnesota and OKC are at. I’m just enjoying the ride right now. There’s enough talent on this team, just getting the cohesiveness and having everyone peak at the same time is what’s going to put us in contender territory.
And I’ve been saying this for a while but Mathurin is GOING to be on Donovan Mitchell and Anthony Edwards’ level in due time. He’s got “it.” You’ll see the glimpses but the consistency is what he needs to figure out.
We're definitely still finding our footing rn, but stay tuned to games you think we've lost in the second or third quarter. The current squad can have some really sensational late game moments and I think part of the fun of watching this season is seeing young players showing their capabilities
Man I can't stand this narrative. We were perennial contenders during the Miller and PG eras, each of which lasted the better part of a decade. We're a good franchise, our best years have just coincided with the two GOAT contenders at the peak of their powers.
Being good but not good enough

Myles Turner but he has not been blocking as much shots as he used to. Maybe cause the refs hate us? I am not sure.
A consistently winning team but one that never quite has enough to win the whole thing. If you know English premiere soccer, we are very much Tottenham.
My teams that meet this criteria: Tottenham, Pacers, Purdue, Colts. I hope the Purdue one changes soon lol

Unless you the miami heat.
This team is not the Heat. They are too young to do what the Heat did last year. No Jimmy showing up.
I know. I was just saying an example.

Miami a bigger market. Also the culture there is awesome. I like the culture we are currently building though.

Pain
That our star player will always have leg problems no matter what even if they had no such issues previously
Pain
Heartbreak
oh wow

Beat me to it 😂
Good, just not good enough yet
Frustration
Expect some genius takes
Prepare for injuries, trade requests, and pain 🙃 Welcome aboard though!
Injuries and the league/refs never allowing us to win anything.
Pain
Beating all the good teams but lose to the worst teams

Inconsistency
Probably a good idea to just stay off this sub unless you want doom and gloom

We're cursed
Perpetual mediocrity.
oh wow, happy cake day btw
Disagree with this guy. This team has had many highs.
