Post game #6 Pacers vs Pelicans

[owl]

Season on the brink already

[Pacergeek]

Team going nowhere with Haliburton. He's a bum!

[McKeyFan]

Ijax injury was a killer.

[Dece]

Don't be fooled by the score, this game wasn't that close. Ben Sheppard went nuclear to create an illusion, but the Pelicans dominated both ends of the floor without their 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th best players available.

[Mr_Smith]

Another disappearing act from Haliburton. Trade trade MF

[LongTimePacerFan]

This season has been the epitome of insult to injury. My expectations were tempered coming in, but holy crap.

[Peck]

We could talk about how other pacer players need to step up and play better, and they should, but at the end of the day if this is the Tyrese Haliburton we are going to get we will struggle to stay at or above .500 this year.

Pacers have a shot blocker that gets cooked by everyone incredible stuff.

[Trader Joe]

Defining characteristic of this team since Haliburton got here has been that they play with joy and for the most part everyone appears to have fun, win or lose. Right now they look miserable and have pretty much all season. Something's gotta give. The injuries piling up on the fringes cannot be helping locker room morale either, but this is pro sports and we still have our best guys need to sack up and play.

my thing with myles is that i could live with his play on the court if i didnt have to hear about him every offseason like he's a franchise cornerstone or somethign akin to smits or dale davis or jo. just because he's been here 10 year. reality is he's been an average starter for 90% of his career and yet we have to hear about his "campaign for dpoy" (lol) when he hasn't even made an all defense team. then we got his gooby *** year 10 hype video to start this season. myles carries himself like he is an all star, a dpoy level guy, damn near an all nba guy, i would bet you the guy probably would honestly say he thinks he's on pace to have his jersey retired here, my honest opinion is that i dunno how many guys have spent ten years with the franchise, but whatever the list is myles would have to be at the very bottom of it for me pretty much id guess.

i get tyrese is the highest paid guy, the face of the franchise and all that stuff and he absolutely deserves all the smoke for how he's played so far these first 6 games, but again I find myself completely devoid of any care for myles turner and if anything watching him miss another key rebound in the clutch of a close game for probably the 1000th time in his pacers career makes me want to go burlington coat factory on the fieldhouse. then on another possession the pacers actually force the ball out of the pels' playmakers to 21 who i still dont even know the ****in guy's name and he's 1 on 1 on supposedly our defensive minded center and he pump fakes myles out his ****in underoos for an easy layup.

i dont know, i know the myles discussion has been rehashed a zillion times on here, but if we pay this guy 25-30 million a year im gonna puke. of course with the way all our centers are going right now we might not have a choice i guess.

Agreed. Myles is a likable guy and a solid ball player, but it may be time to move on. I hope he proves me wrong but the end of the year.

5Y $150M is the best I can do.

"We got our guy. He was the best free agent available, we're proud to have him be a lifelong Pacer. He is the cornerstone what we do around here and a member of our big 3." -- KP after signing Myles again this year.

[imawhat]

We had a logjam at center and now we’re doomed.

I honestly want to see Jarace at center now but he needs incriminating photos to play.

I’m frustrated with Jarace not playing. It’s ********. He played well on defense.

[BornReady]

But for Herculean efforts from Mathurin, we would absolutely have 0 wins on the year.
