Hope the ball movement is better in the second half.

Joe doesn't like ball movement.  He thinks it leads to over-passing.  Seriously.

That was a massive run at the end, even despite Nembhard's 3.

Am I crazy to think this game is still winnable??

KP better get ready


Anyone depending on porzingis being a difference maker at this point is delusional. Dude hasn’t played in a month and is made of glass. Good luck with that

We're lucky to be down only 12. Still a winnable game.

But the coaching staff unable to put a correct players to handle the Pacers' bigs is unacceptable.

Porzingis is most definitely a difference maker.

Second half will start with a nice pacers run that get this up over 20. Team is back to being embarrassing. Outplayed in two games this series

No, it's winnable... Going to be uphill and we have to overcome the Marc Davis effect!

The 'let's bench our best player' strategy works like a charm against the Celtics.

No you are exactly right.  This is still a game.  We clamp down on all these Nembhard baskets and a win here will be more deflating than the game 1 win.

It is only a 12pt game. Lots of time left.

Obviously it’s winnable. Frankly they should still be expected to win this game. But I think we have watched this dumb core long enough to know this is likely a loss.
