January 30 2024 Pacers visit the Jungle

[JCizzle]

What a shot, wow.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Yeah, that’s probably a 33% shot for Halliburton

 

[Imbricus]

Ugh. Well-defended prayer shot, and it still goes down. Yuk.

 

[chilidawg]

Insane scoring pace for both teams. I guess this is what Indy does.

 

[SteveF]

Indiana +9 on true shot attempts. Celtics at 58.1% Dreb%.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Pacers basically only in it on 2nd chance points right now while the Celtics are getting literally anything they want every time down the floor.

Defensive shape and movement for Indy is so so bad. Just keep attacking.

 

[chilidawg]

Rough final minute for the C's.

The Tatum 3 point play wasn't bad.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Well then

 

[mostman]

Actually - read the box wrong.

 

[Curtis Pride]

81 points in the first half? Scoring is WAY up this year!

I mean, this game wasn't that long ago:

[benhogan]

81 points in the first half? Scoring is WAY up this year!

Indy is setting All-Time records

 

[128]

The Tatum 3 point play wasn't bad.

That was sweet. Wish Jaylen had gotten the three free throws.

I know it's only one basket, but Haliburton's 3 had to boost the Pacers' spirits a ton.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Replay is somehow still in the infancy stage where they can’t figure out how to not have it take 20 minutes. It’s completely broken and should be scrapped. Making subjective calls based on vague interpretations of slow motion movement and assumptions around intent. It’s an absolutely batshit system.

 

[SteveF]

If the season ended today, the top 6 seasons for offensive rating in NBA history would be the current top 6 teams in offensive rating.

 

[mostman]

Fucking second chance points.

 

[The Mort Report]

They've hit a 3 on getting a 50-50 offensive rebound 4 times in a row haven't they?

 

[mostman]

The too little for Nesmith.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

This Pacers team can score it, but they cannot stop anything.

 

[LesterFan]

An ominous start

 

[Helmet Head]

Indiana owns them in the 3rd

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Jrue’s shot selection was suboptimal there

 

[128]

This has all the makings of one of the C's patented third-quarter debacles.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

The pull up three with nobody under the hoop. Jesus wept.

 

[bosockboy]

Reggie openly pulling for Pacers.

 

[ifmanis5]

ZINGER with no regard.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Pacers can go vertical real quick.

KP, with authority!

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Of course Cs can’t stop anyone either

 

[Ale Xander]

Seems like Haliburton was a pretty good part of that.

Oof you’re right

I forgot thatpart

brainfart

I would fit it on the team this quarter

 

[128]

Will the C's be leading after three quarters?

 

[benhogan]

timeout Joe

 

[RSN Diaspora]

These OREBs are gonna kill me

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

I’m scared to look at the rebounding numbers

 

[Ale Xander]

stupid 3rd quarter

 

[SteveF]

16 points in 4 minutes.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Criminal that Joe waited ‘til now to call a timeout.

 

[tims4wins]

From 20 to 3 in roughly 5 minutes. Ouch.

 

[bosockboy]

I’m scared to look at the rebounding numbers

Down 10.

 

[BigSoxFan]

14-2 offensive rebounds

 

[mikeot]

Indiana owns them in the 3rd

23-6 run, fuck.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

I know people think it doesn’t matter but he is still slow on the timeout. A 15 point lead shouldn’t cut to 3 without a timeout.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

14-2 offensive rebounds

In fairness you’re not going to have a lot of OREB opportunities when you score 81 in a half.

 

[mikeford]

What does this team do at halftime exactly? Smoke a ton of weed and forget how to play basketball?

 

[ifmanis5]

Finally a timeout.

 

[SteveF]

Indiana up to +14 true shot attempts.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Indiana up to +14 true shot attempts.

What is this annoying stat.

 

[Helmet Head]

can they play any defense? I understand Indiana is good but you got to be able to dig in at some point. You are not just going to shoot 65% all game.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

This is Indiana’s game, and the C’s played last night. They are going to try to amp it up in the 4th.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I like random rules. My random rule is that the Cs should never surrender a lead

 

[DeadlySplitter]

How much of offensive rebounding is luck? I've seen some lazy rebounding tonight, but feels like there has to be a bit of luck.
