The Pacers had 162 points with two minutes to go against the Wizards, and then took three straight shot-clock violations rather than add to the destruction. Almost seems worse than trying to get to 170. Almost.

And the Pacers have a new NBA franchise record for points in one game. 159 and counting.

Pacers have 40 assists for the 21st time in franchise history. And as I'm looking this up they get 41, which they've now done 16 times.

Pacers franchise record for points in an NBA game is 157. They're at 156 with 3:20 to go.

Two straight from-the-jaws-of-defeat-ass wins for the Pacers. Alligator blood squad.

Feeling pretty good about my preseason "All-Pessimistic" bets - PHI u51.5 (-105) - PHX u46.5 (+105) - PHX miss the playoffs AFTER play in (+175) That last one was a bit of a stretch, but there was so much that could go wrong with these two teams...and we've seen it play out

The Nets only scored WHAT?!

The 10 most mid teams of the last 10years have 0 titles, and I'm guessing more years missing the playoffs than getting beyond the first round "Mid teams finish mid" isn't exactly analysis, but when you've been mid for half of a decade? That's a pattern, and somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy

I said it earlier, please stop calling these fouls, yes he gets the defender up in the air but then initiates all the contact. These need to be not be fouls.

Tension in the locker room is sure to be dissolved by benching: - guy making $50m (who is honestly playing pretty well) for a rookie - guy currently suspended for slapping someone during a game for Mason Plumper My Suns under bet before the season keeps looking better and better

I Dad'ed so hard the last six hours: -built 4yo's new bed -tear down his old loft bed -tear down, move and rebuild 2yo's crib+dresser into her new room -clear driveway of 5in of snow -tear down, move and rebuild 9mo's crib into HIS new room -solo'd a recumbent bike up some stairs I hurt everywhere

Wiggins to Indy in the Jimmy to GSW deal, let's get funky

After an embarrassing loss against the Hornets, the Pacers knew they needed to change something. Tyrese Haliburton sat down with 2 coaches to figure it out. How that conversation and some defensive tweaks changed the Pacers fortunes - and the win column: www.forbes.com/sites/tonyea...

Herro spacing the floor for a fight that HE was at the center of starting can't make this up lol

Every Net takes a hit because of either usage or increased likelihood of role change (other trades or shutdown) Every Laker usage player gets a bump for now, though I think there's another move coming for a more high-level ball handler Can't wait to see what shakes loose

Scorched Earth Jimmy vs Heat Culture is going to be incredible

What in the "too much time on StatHead+DraftKings" is this lol True, Yabusele HAS scored 15+ in 4 of PHI's last 5 vs teams with winning record Also true: -that spans 14GP/27days -10 or less pts in 9 other games -only two games of 15+ across first 14GP, for 6 total +1200 promo notification is wild

First 25 games of the year, Collin Sexton had 15 steals total for an average of 0.6spg Last two games, he's had *seven* steals and is now averaging 0.8spg for the year The epitome of @joshlloyd.bsky.social's annual "H2H steals and blocks are incredibly volatile" rant when talking 9cat projections

Vassell almost pulled off a Tony Snell last night 25 minutes 4 points (2-11 FG, 0-6 3PT) 0 rebounds 0 assists 0 steals 0 blocks 0 turnovers 0 fouls Can't say I've seen many other players that I think so highly of, do so little lol

Is it too late to cancel the Bryant trade?

ME: how about we do an unboxing video PALLBEARER: absolutely not

Just realized Cody Zeller has earned an additional $102,994 from his couch because the Hawks made the NBA Cup semis. Good night everyone!

Only one man can save the Pacers

Putting this out there right now: If you're in a deep league with a roster spot to spare, I'd take a flier on Boucher

The Pacers flat out stink. Lucky to have earned clutch wins earlier this season because their net rating says their record should be worse, and their recent play says their record should be MUCH worse. 51-35 at halftime in Brooklyn.

Amen Thompson: Second player in NBA history (and first since 1978) with 15+ points, 8+ rebounds, 3+ steals, and 3+ blocks in back-to-back games off the bench. Dude is insane.

Amen Thompson in tonight's OT win over the Sixers on the second night of a back-to-back: 40 minutes, 19 points, 13 rebounds, 3 blocks, 3 steals

I'm not saying I would give my life for Amen Thompson. But if the arrow were flying through the air and I was within range, I'd think about it.

Group of dads playing, and it might not be the worst defense on this court tonight!!!

Today's Locked On Pacers is all about Pacers-Bucks, a rivalry of sorts that will be fun tonight. Two teams desperate to get back on track at 6-9. @camillemonae.bsky.social joins! Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYq1... Listen: open.spotify.com/episode/28P1...

Choosing to believe that the whole meeting was actually like 90 minutes long, but Embiid just caught the last half-minute of it

Everything that’s wrong with the Indiana Pacers ipacers.com/2024/11/21/e...

For no reason at all, here's every "22yo or older on draft night" first round pick from 2014-2022 One (1) All-Star/All-NBA player in Siakam, a pretty solid group of 4th/5th starters on good teams, a bunch of fringe rotation guys, and the rest How many picks before 20 worked out? mayyyyybe 5 or 6?

Another day in the NBA with fantastic regular season games. All the doom and gloom is complete garbage and there are great games every day, they just don't get promoted or talked about because of dreadful and high profile media coverage. So, give this a repost so we can try to reverse the narrative

Mark was one of the first people to let me pod about basketball, so you probably already follow him if you're seeing this But if not, you need to, because he's one of the hardest working and genuine lovers-of-hoops out there

As @keerthikau.bsky.social pointed out, last night RJ Barrett had the most assists of his career. Wrote about his (startling and pleasant) growth a couple weeks ago: www.theringer.com/nba/2024/11/...

It’s only 11 games but Myles Turner is having the anti-contract year to this point. A statistical look at the very bad start to the season for the Pacers center from @kamitronptw.bsky.social ipacers.com/2024/11/17/m...

All those clips were just to embed in this article talking about Ryan Dunn! Come read about his offensive revolution! www.nbcsports.com/fantasy/bask...

I said before the year that the Pacers shouldn't be compared to the 2018-20 Blazers or 2020-22 Hawks as a clear overachiever that peaked early I still don't believe that, even if the injuries are becoming comparable, because those teams struggled despite Dame/Trae improving Need 0 to bounce back

This behind-the-scenes look into the coaching lives of the Pacers staff from Michael Scotto is really good. Highly recommend. hoopshype.com/lists/embedd...
