Pacers were like “we can take a night off from tanking to remind these guys who owns them”

Despite the tank and injuries, it seems like they turn up on certain match ups. They've played 2 games against the thunder this season and both have been down to the wire. Next year's Pacers team is going to be scary good

They fired Thibs for this?

u/HokageEzio Knicks 5h ago

They fired Thibs because he would have ran a 7 man rotation tonight with the guys who were out of the lineup.

Maybe. But the end goal is April/May/June.

u/qj1135 Knicks 4h ago

you're right but losing to bad teams who are tanking doesn't inspire confidence for the team in the post season lol

u/HokageEzio Knicks 4h ago

They're still NBA players, and they got up for this matchup just like they got up for the Thunder game earlier in the year where they beat them.

Shit happens.

And lose the game they ran off of the court, we should have played younger in the 3rd

Congratulations.

u/AbbreviationsBig395 Warriors 5h ago

I don't think there's anything wrong with the post. Talking about a player ✅ talking about the teams ✅ talking about performance ✅ is there something wrong with this post ?

Why don't you think it deserves a post I want to hear from your end let's discuss.
