The Pacers are so overmatched up front. And back to playing a 3 and D swingman at power forward........ that's just sad. Play Walker at least.

I think they should have kept the guy they drafted........... hoping this isn't another Kwahi

Felt like they were winning by giving 110%. And now with injuries that isn't enough any more. And they seem worn down since the Lakers and others started beating on them.

Interestingly, the Lakers have looked like garbage since the tournament as well. They’ve gone 1-3 since. For the Pacers, at some point we need to discuss how bad Bruce Brown is. Defensively, he has not impressed. He’s also shorting barely above 30% from 3. Why is he still starting?

I so fundamentally disagree with how the Pacers are managing their roster, especially Shep and Walker. While players like Coulibaly, Podziemski, and even Jackson-Davis are seeing meaningful minutes and making big contributions, Walker is not given time on the court. Why? So we can use players like Hield to win? It’s frustrating when coaches and FOs don’t take a true long term approach.

You had to showcase Hield for him to have any trade value. His shooting numbers down so much, I'm sure other teams are questioning if he's still got it.

I don’t think that was the reason. I think Carlisle likes Buddy and wants to keep him.
