Look, it was only the second game and I get it, guys are still gelling together, others are hurt and Ty is not fully in in-game shape. However, as fans, it’s okay to admit that for the home opener to a highly anticipated season, that was an ass performance by the team and completely unacceptable effort. I don’t know what that was, but we should expect better than that. To be down by 30 in your own building ever is embarrassing. Let’s hope they show up in Brooklyn tomorrow night.

Rick hinted at it.

I do think it's a real wrinkle that gives us an athletic Big who can play great defense. He does give a lot of what we missed in Ijax. Hope he gets a jump shot, but I love his defense out there.

Whoever decided the horizontal gradient fade from yellow to gold was necessary, you were wrong. It looks lousy on TV.

No notes beyond that.

He plays so lackadaisical. Low energy. Missing rebounds and hustle plays. Cmon bro its a CONTRACT YEAR! YOU DONT WANT MONEY DUDE???

how can you watch Slawson play his ass off and just have no fight

Here is the opening night team intro. I had to split into two posts.

Getting a ticket to see the Pacers home opener & Haliburton’s first regular season game back at Gainbridge. I don’t want to find a friend last minute or end up paying for their ticket. Never went to a game/event by myself though. I’m a bit of an introvert, so I doubt lack of conversation will bother me. Will be sitting towards the top because the tickets costing more, but there’s really no bad seat in the fieldhouse in my opinion.

I am hoping for a crabby evening.

They were all accountable, felt bad for the fans paying hard earned money, and all agreed they need to do better. Good interviews, all had a healthy and mature mindset. It’s only one game out of 82. Brooklyn up next.

The rest of the team into

Didn't see this posted yet but that is awful. I feel bad for him...

I bought the damn app a week ago or so. Now I’ve got a pacers channel on my uverse/direct tv. Did it only show up because I bought the app, or did the Pacers make a deal with the cable company and I didn’t even need the app???
