107-99  loss..

Its funny..coaches talk about playing defense and getting stops...

 

We play it and we get 'em but we just dont have the offense the other playoff team do.

Bogdonavic had 29 against Paul George, who had 31.

But we shot 43% and that's not often good enough

 

45-30....and on to Boston (44-31)

I am wondering why we go in such cold spurts, same thing happened in Philly.

We fought hard but we are destined to be the 5th seed with Oladipo going out for the year. Sucks that Thad missed that easy layup that would have put us up by two though.

 

At least we showed that we can match with the Celtics on the road because we are going to have to if we want any shot at winning this playoff series. It's pretty impressive how close this game was with all the talent the Celtics have.

I thought Bogdonavic couldn't move well after that Celtic guy stepped on his ankle.

But yeah, we play so hard and come up just short..

 

….Kyrie kills their offense sometimes but he made the play at the end.

Pacers (45-31), Celtics (45-31) with 6 games to go.

 

They play the Nets Saturday..we play Orlando.

There's a chance to get that 4th spot back

There is still a chance. We play the Celtics again next Friday in Indiana. It could all ride on that game depending on if we can handle business in our next 3 games against the Pistons twice and Orlando.

Still a shot for that 4th seed.    10 road losses in a row is bad.   

The majority of those losses are without either Sabonis or Collison..

We just cant afford to lose anybody else......for any period of time

Along those lines...I'm worried..No word about Bogdonavic..after his ankle got stomped got stepped on last night in Boston..

I understand that, but 10 in a row is still telling.

We can be a tough out, but I think the ceiling is winning the 1st round playoff series.   Probably not that if we are the 5th seed.

 

Nice job Pacers.   You continue to put a competitive team on the floor every season.

In reality till Simon spends the money on a big name player the chances of the Pacers getting past the 2nd round are slim.

I hate not having a hard cap but when the owner refuses to pay the NBA there is nothing to do but be what we have been since joining the NBA.

this is 100% the truth and it's so sad to know year in and year out we really have no shot at a title cause of the terrible way the league is set up

    • Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.  
    • Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias. 
    • I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result. 
    • I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough. 
    • I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple.
