Saw this on the Pacers' subreddit. 

 

He's missing games where we badly need him.

When he came here, he said he wanted to be a part of this team...and he wanted to play in the post-season.

If that's no longer the case, release him.

We wont miss a guy who doesn't play half the time

The warning signs were there. Pacers took a chance and it didn't really work. 

 

As his manager said, thank god it's only for one year.

Its a 'free weekend' on the NBA Free Pass system

All the games are on for free including Pacers-OKC

I've been an NBA League Pass subscriber for years. It's a good service, but my gosh whenever I use it on my laptop, it constantly buffers. 

[MTC]

Paul George is just dominant this quarter. Hard to watch.

Yes it is.   He's a 6-foot-9 guard that nobody matches up with..

He's a whole notch better than he was with us..

…..Wes Matthews is a good defensive player but he's overmatched so far tonight

[MTC]

Need to get Aaron Holiday minutes. 

[MTC]

Say whatever you want about Tyreke Evans, but the bench has underperformed as a unit without his presence. I thought having Sabonis back would help, but no. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

We can't beat Elite teams without Victor, this doesn't surprise me tonight.

[MTC]

The Race for 3rd...

 

What is the race for the 5th seed?

Evans was averaging 10-11 points a game and we do miss that..

Sabonis is trying to do a little too much but we need somebody on the 2nd team to attack the basket

Is OKC an elite team?

They have two stars. We have two very good players. 

[oldunclemark]

Paul George has continued to improve

He did it with us from year to year and he's continued to do it..

….Matthews is the only guy we have who can even come close to guarding him

We have shot badly the last there games

 

OKC isn't a team we cant beat

[oldunclemark]

Steven Adams trying to help us out...or he just wants the rest of the nightoff

I would say we have more than 2..but Myles is really struggling

[oldunclemark]

..down 63-50 at the half.....OKC shooting 51% which isn't hard when you get dunks

[MTC]

Looking at our schedule, it's absolutely brutal for the rest of March. I mean, I can possibly see two, maybe three wins at best. 

[MTC]

Superstar treatment on Westbrook. So lame.

[MTC]

Careless passes lead to careless turnovers. 

[oldunclemark]

Our starting lineup has failed to come out for the 3rd quarter....70-54 OKC

If we play this way, we're 0-4 on the trip that starts Sunday

[oldunclemark]

……...lets go to the bench early here...…..couldnt get worse

[MTC]

It's almost like the Pacers decided to tank, but it is too late to get anywhere near a lottery pick. 

[oldunclemark]

Sabonis and Turner in the lineup together..lets see if it helps

[2006Coltsbestever]

This game is over

Either that or they've just lost too much on offense ….

….and we're asking guys to produce at a level that they just cant do

[MTC]

I don't know why the crowd is booing. That was a clear foul.

 

That half court shot BETTER count. 

[oldunclemark]

 Collison form 50 feet!!!   For 3

..Its luck but we needed it...OKC lead down to 88-81 after 3....

Yeah..he hit PG in the head.....The call wa slate but it wasn't wrong

[2006Coltsbestever]

Sabonis with a flush, down to 5!

[oldunclemark]

88-83  and we miss two open 3s

..but the defensive effort is much better

[oldunclemark]

we've missed 8 shots in a row..and it still 92-83

 

...Nate must feel that Holiday cant go against Westbrook and Schroder and PG

..and Tyreke is not here for 'personal reasons'

[2006Coltsbestever]

Who is this Nader fool? We have had so many chances to get back in this. Too sloppy.

[MTC]

When DC was put into the game, our offense collapsed.

We have open shots we cant make

..29 of 71 from the floor..40%   just like the last 3 games

[2006Coltsbestever]

It's over, we forgot how to shoot I guess 

Wes for 3!

[oldunclemark]

Turner and Sabonis on the floor together

 

It went fairly well late in the firsthalf

[2006Coltsbestever]

PG for 3, Jesus. 

Bogey for 3!! 3 point game.

[2006Coltsbestever]

1 point game, DC for 2!
