Now think about the hungry young wings on teams like San Antonio or Detroit. Young, athletic, bursting with energy.

The league has more Tier 2 talent (not superstars, but excellent role players and defenders) than any time I can recall in recent decades.

Lots of teams have drafted good players that are making impacts in the last few seasons and building themselves up fast into playoff teams and contenders.

That's what we're going up against many nights (though not tonight) and we're not bringing the focus and energy every game.

Frankly, our starters are looking stale for weeks now. They don't have the juice of lots of squads they're facing.

TBH, I think Rose has to shake things up. This is not on Coach Brown IMO.

If I had to target one player, it would be KAT even though I feel both OG and Bridges have been major disappointments since winning the cup game.

You can't retool all three positions and I think OG and Bridges can be made to lock in again with the right chemistry, so I'm going to gamble it is KAT they need to trade, hopefully for the Greek.

Keystone Kops can't make a layup

Jesus that play and the play where OG just dribbled into the lane - appeared to be shot by Harvey Oswald and kind of hopped and dropped to the floor (amazing grace).

And then Mikal tries to corral the ball and falls on his back like a toddler

Going to have to send our Wings to survival camp this Summer. Send them out into the wilderness with only the clothes on their back and a pocket knife and they can't come back until they kill a moose with their bare hands and make love to a wolf pack

Mikal would be dead before 1st nightfall - OG would return but without any limbs to walk on or button his shirt.

Feels like OG/Mikal or anyone else really are NOT capable of killing the locker room -- BUT KAT...KAT may be impacting things because he is clearly not playing hard and not clear if its 1) the coach, 2) his role or 3) thinks they are trading him

And if you told me JB was going to get injured, my first guess would have been his ankles.

Leon **** the bed.

This is his strike two. Towns is a loser. We need to trade this man and it doesn't even have to be Giannis

Probably when we played Toronto.

Our entire front line Kat, OG, Josh & Mikal (excluding Mitch) getting absolutely PUNKED by Precious is such a weak ass look.

Not only are we SOFT AS F*** but we simply can’t make basic plays without calamity.

Just want to remind everyone that Pacers were 22-19 at this date year.

May not be same path but every team has chance to figure out their play.

That being said, KAT gotta get his head out of ass

Yes - always amazes me when it's clear most of starters are off their meds that the coach keeps pushing forward and refuses to use some bench guys that might defend and might stay on their feet - maybe even not hack a jump shooter.
